Former Perm Sec forfeits 47 cars to FG

A former Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Power, Godknows Igali has forfeited 47 cars to the Federal Government.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) disclosed this on Wednesday in the performance report it presented to the Senate Committee on Anti-Corruption and financial Crimes chaired by Senator Chukuwuka Utazi (PDP, Enugu).

Acting Chairman EFCC, Ibrahim Magu who presented the report stated that the cars were seized at the Utako, Abuja residence of Igali.

Igali is still being investigated by the Commission over financial misappropriation.

However, the Senate has demanded review of contract of EFCC headquarters in Abuja.

The contract which was awarded to Julius Berger at N18.8 billion has been reviewed upward to N26 billion.

Utazi said the signing of the contract was against the advice given by the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP).

Utazi said the committee will invite the contractor and the consultant of the project.
