LAGOSS NOVEMBER 21ST (URHOBOTODAY)-Security sources hinted that rather than remit the SURE-P funds to beneficiaries; the Lamidos converted the funds to personal use.
“We have discovered from our preliminary investigations that funds from SURE-P have been accessed by the suspects. As a matter of fact, the funds were put to personal use,” a security source that would not want to be named disclosed.
According to the Source, the SURE-P funds traced to the Lamido’s accounts were used to fund political activities involving the governor and his associates.
“Investigations are still on-going but we have enough evidence to conclude that they have not only appropriated the SURE-P funds but have also used part for political purposes” said a source.
The Governor is one of the arrowheads of the G7 Governors and the rebel PDP who have demanded that President Goodluck Jonathan stop the EFCC from going after the former Kwara state governor, Bukola Saraki or any of their members.
