President Muhammadu Buhari’s son in-law, Gimba Yau Kumo, has been declared wanted by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) over an alleged $65 million fraud.
Kumo, who was declared wanted along with two others on Thursday by the anti-graft agency, was Managing Director of Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN).
He is married to Buhari’s daughter, Fatima. He married the president’s daughter in April 2016 in Daura, Katsina state.
A notice signed by ICPC spokesperson, Mrs Ogugua, and published on Thursday, the anti-graft agency said Kumo is wanted alongside Mr Tarry Rufus and Bola Ogunsola over alleged misappropriation and dispersion of national housing funds.
“The persons whose pictures appear above, Mr. Tarry Rufus, Mr. Gimba Yau Kumo and Mr. Bola Ogunsola, are hereby declared WANTED by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) in connection with issues bordering on misappropriation of National Housing Funds and diversion of the sum of Sixty Five Million dollars ($65,000,000),” the ICPC said.
“Anyone who has useful information on their whereabouts should report to ICPC Headquarters Abuja, any of the ICPC State Offices or the nearest police station.”
