EFCC have for some time now, been trying to get hold of
impeached Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako, but
it seems Nyako has gone into hidding.
The Federal Government has throughout this week been
under pressure to to declare the impeached governor
wanted.
EFCC wants the former Chief of Defence Staff to be charged
with the alleged looting of Adamawa State treasury and
also treason against the nation.
The search has been on for some time now and all clues
leads to security officials believing Nyako has fled.
A source in Yola told Vanguard that Nyako's security aides
took him out of the Capital and into hiding in either Abuja or
Saudi Arabia, on the same day following his impeachment,
meanwhile other say he is in hiding alright but still in Yola.
Meanwhile Nyako's spokesman, Sajoh Ahmed has told
reporters that his boss is not hiding, he said: "Governor is
not on the run. He left Yola on the same day of the
impeachment. I don't know where he is at the moment. I am
now in my own house. It is wrong to say he is on the run".
Nyako has been haunted since the first few hours after his
impeachment was formalized, investigations revealed that
Security officials where looking into the possibility of
declaring the governor wanted.
This is a desperate ploy to make Nyako come out and face
the Attorney General of the Federation and the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The AGf is said to be pressured by the President to make
sure Nyako spends the rest of his life in jail with strong
charges, if convicted.
While the EFCC has been busy gathering the necessary
documents and critical witnesses to arraign him in court.
It is believed that the EFCC have the Secretary to the State
Government, SSG, who worked under Nyako for many
years as one of their most important witness.
One senior EFCC member told Vanguard: "Yes, we are
keeping the SSG and he is helping us in relation to the huge
sum of money that was stolen under Nyako's leadership.
We are not likely to release the man until the trial begins.
We are still looking for Nyako and we know that he has
gone underground but we may be forced to declare him
wanted, if he proves difficult," the source said.
Nyako was impeached by the his state's house of Assembly
after being indicted by a panel, set up by his chief justice.
