NSCDC Boss dispels N6bn money laundering rumour

The Commandant General (CG) of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, (NSCDC), Abdullahi Gana Muhammadu, has  debunked the rumours that N6billion was found in his account.

The CG through a statement from the corps spokesman, Emmanuel Okeh said that “since assumption of office in July 2015 till date, the budgetary allocation released to the Corps has never been up to N7 billion but rumour mongers are concocting stories that N6billion was found in his account which is fallacious and highly unimaginable”.

The alleged money was said to be meant for staff that were promoted about two years ago.

‘This is not possible because Government in this era cannot allow such huge amount of money to be paid into a private account when it is meant for an Agency” he explained.

Gana noted that in this dispensation payment is done centrally through the CBN e-payment process, as such an individual cannot “move such an amount of money to a private account without been conscious of the fact that bubble will burst.’
