Ex Nigeria Customs chief Abdullahi Inde Dikko has turned himself in to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
“The former Customs boss is at the moment being quizzed over two key allegations bordering on criminal conspiracy, diversion of public funds, theft, abuse of office and living above legitimate means," an EFCC operative said according to The Nation.
“He is being grilled over the source of the funds with which he acquired the palatial mansion valued at over N2billion located at 1, Audu Ogbe Street, Jabi Abuja.
“There is also an allegation that he diverted over N40billion from Customs coffers. The funds were allegedly drawn from proceeds of the 7% cost of collection and 1% comprehensive import supervision scheme.
“There are lots of questions that he has to answer. Discreet investigation has been going on for months and this is the opportunity for him to clear the air on the allegation and other evidence that have emerged in the course of investigation.”
The anti-graft agency had been on Dikko’s trail since January 8 when its operatives stormed his home.
Dikko yesterday turned himself in to the EFCC.
