The President,
Muhammadu Buhari’s in-laws have been implicated in the N5 billion
Internally Displaced People, IDP fund diversion scandal.
According to Herald, one of the companies indicted in the diversion scandal belongs to Alhaji Bachir Sanusi Dantata and his son Bashir Dantata who is an in-law to Mahmann Daura, Buhari’s powerful nephew.
The source further revealed that the
company’s name was mentioned yesterday, October 4th in the Nigerian
Senate as one of the organisations implicated in the diversion scandal.
The revelation comes as the Nigerian Senate opens an investigation into the scandal of malnourished children in IDP camps and the diversion of funds by highly connected businessmen.
On Tuesday, October 4, 2016, Senator
Bashir Babakaka Gabai filed a motion before the Senate noting that
despite the huge cash release by the Federal Government and other
agencies towards IDP camps, the situation in the camps have worsened
still.
He said: “Rather than use the money
appropriated for the IDP camps and the Northeast to ameliorate the
problems, the focus of the disbursement so far made have been used to
feather other interest.”
He further alleged that the diverted
funds include an “award of N80.7 million to JMT Global Technologies Ltd
for rehabilitation of Police Station in Kwambir, N203.357m to another
company, Josman Technologies Limited for removal of invasive plant
species along river channels and another N117 million paid to Lintex
International for supply of temporary shelters with no record of these
shelters anywhere.”
