“Bashir Jamoh, DG of NIMASA has told his friends he doesn’t know anything about N1.5tn in any account. And that all the story is a lie and fake news. When I wake up, I will drop his receipt. He just ate the bait,” Ude wrote in one of the tweets.
In a letter addressed to the EFCC chairman on Tuesday, Jamoh asked the agency to conduct a “thorough and painstaking” investigation into the allegations.
