EFCC - Commission invites Julius Berger, ex-AGF over fraud in NSA

The  Economic and Financial Crimes Commission might be sending invitation to Julius Berger Plc; Daar Holdings, a former Accountant General of the Federation, Jonah Otunla, and  Brig. Gen. A.S.Mormoni-Bashir over a fresh contract scam in the office of the National Security Adviser.


According to a report by Punch Newspaper, the summon is coming after a list of 20 firms and individuals were indicted over the fresh scam months after the Arms Deal Fraud which rocked the office of the National Security Adviser.

A statement reportedly signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the President, Garba Sheu Garba,  revealed that Otunla and Mormoni-Bashir were listed among those allegedly received payments without contractual agreements, while Julius Berger came under the list of companies that failed to execute or partially executed contracts.

Meanwhile, Acting Director, Defence Information, Brig. Gen. Rabe Abubakar, told Punch Newspaper that the position of the military was total support for the ongoing effort to rid the country of corruption.

He said that the mentioned military officers could be tried by a military court-martial or the EFCC because they were subject to both military and civil laws.
