Yuguda’s wives forfeit 22 vehicles

The Bauchi State government says it has seized a total 22 vehicles in the possession of the wives of former governor of the state, Isa Yuguda, in a move which it said was part of efforts to recover all government properties.

Senator Mohammed Mohammed, chairman of the state’s Transition Committee, said on Thursday, in Bauchi that the recovery of the vehicles was in tandem with the mandate of the committee to recover all items confirmed to have been allocated against due diligence and return them to the government.

He said:” we have so far, recovered a total of 22 cars from the wives of the former Governor, Isa Yuguda. We recovered 11 cars from his first wife, seven from the second wife and four from the third wife. We are yet to recover the remaining cars from his fourth wife who is currently out of the country.

“We will ensure that whoever is in possession of government properties will be forced to return them. We urge public servants and the general public, especially those involved in the disposal and allocation of the property in question to cooperate with the committee for the effective discharge of its assignment.”

Governor Mohammed Abubakar had vowed that he would employ all measures to trace funds and property allegedly looted during the tenure of the immediate past administration under Yuguda in the state.
