| Governor Murtala Nyako |
The plot to impeach the Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako, took a dramatic twist on Thursday, as he has cried out that forces behind the plot have frozen the state government’s accounts.
He said this in a telephone interview with one of our correspondents in Abuja, on Thursday.
Nyako, who spoke through his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Ahmad Sajoh, also said he had yet to receive a copy of the impeachment notice.
He said, “They have frozen all our accounts today; no reason has been given for the action. We were not served any notice and nobody has told us why our accounts were frozen.
“We only heard from unofficial sources that our accounts were frozen based on instructions from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
“We have not been told for what offence. This is a deliberate ploy to pit the people of the state against the government because they know that by freezing our accounts, we cannot pay June salaries.
“You can only imagine the kind of suffering our people will go through during this Ramadan which is barely two weeks away.”
Repeated calls to the mobile telephone number of the Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, did not connect.
However, a highly placed official of the commission who spoke in confidence confirmed that the commission gave the directive to freeze the accounts.
He said “It is true that the leadership of the EFCC issued the directive that the bank accounts of the Adamawa State government be frozen, which is the much I can say.”
