The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has seized 18 houses in an estate allegedly belonging to Alhaji Aliyu Usman, an associate of the embattled former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.).
According to the Punch, two companies were also linked to Usman-Leaderettehe Nigeria Limited and Nordeen Global Resources-which is among 300 others listed as persons who allegedly received contracts from the Office of the National Security Adviser.
The EFCC said Musa allegedly diverted N897m he received from the ONSA fund and allegedly used it to construct the estate.
The inscription, ‘EFCC, Keep Off!’ was seen on the 18 terrace houses in the estate which is located at Mbora District, Abuja. Usman also allegedly used part of the money to buy a three bed-roomed flat at OAU Quarters Wuse 2 Abuja
The EFCC said, “The EFCC is investigating the involvement of Aliyu Usman, who is linked with Leaderettehe Nigeria Limited and Nordeen Global Resources for their involvement in the monumental fraud that allegedly took place in the Office of the National Security Adviser during the regime of the embattled Col.
