A former Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai (retd.) has secured a court order through his proxy to recover funds and other items seized from him by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC). In June 2022, SaharaReporters reported how the ICPC recovered funds (including foreign currencies) from a house registered to someone fronting for Buratai, a military contractor and Managing Director of K Salam Construction Company Nigeria Limited, Mr. Kabiru Sallau.
They include pictures of the safe where foreign currencies were recovered, Mercedes Benz 2022, Bulletproof G Wagon (voice customized), recovered from him valued at N150 million and BMW also recovered from him during the execution of a search warrant.
SaharaReporters on Sunday learnt that the senior official, identified as Tunji Jabaru, an Assistant Director in the ICPC, did not allow full disclosure to be made regarding the cash and other things worth billions of Naira recovered from the property.
The house was recently busted by the officials in the Wuse area of Abuja where cash meant to buy arms for the war against terror, vehicles and other items were recovered.
