The immediate past chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Adamu Muazu, has been declared a wanted man by the security agencies over his involvement in the squander of the $2.1bn earmarked for procurement of arms.
Also on the watch-list of the security agencies is the Principal Private Secretary to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Hassan Tukur. Tukur is being investigated for the payment of huge ransom to unknown Boko Haram agents.
A top security source told The Nation that Muazu and Tukur have been under investigation in the last few months on the arms cash allegedly disbursed to them for campaign purposes and counter-insurgency initiative with Boko Haram.
The source said: “We need to interact with these two leaders, who are on watch-list. Since Muazu went for his daughter’s graduation and medical treatment, we have not been able to locate him.
“We learnt Muazu is around Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia axis. We are on his trail because some suspects have admitted drawing campaign funds from the ex-PDP national chairman. Over N600million has so far been traced to him.
“Tukur is believed to have been seen in the country by security agencies about three or four days ago. He might be invited over the botched deal with Boko Haram, which allegedly involved the payment of a ransom. He is also implicated in the disbursement of some funds for use in the Presidency for campaign and 2015 poll.”
