Former
Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Customs, Abdullahi Inde Dikko, has
reportedly owned up to having properties worth $50m in Dubai alone,
according to Nigeria anti-corruption investigators currently in
discussions with him.
Mr.
Dikko returned to Nigeria looking gaunt and frail after he was declared
wanted by the Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC),
reportedly suffering from prostate cancer said to be at the terminal
stage. Investigators said Dikko has vehemently denied owning properties
anywhere else in the world except a huge house in Abuja and a
multi-billion Naira farm in his home state of Katsina.
A
source involved in the negotiations said Dikko was not arrested and
hurled into detention because the authorities are worried that if
harshly treated, he might die in detention, which might it harder to
recover his assets from Dubai.
It
would be recalled that a few years ago, this website called Mr. Dikko a
certificate forger, and ran several stories to that effect.
