The President Muhamamdu Buhari-led Federal Government, have converted a N1.1 billion mansion seized from the immediate past Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh (retd.), to an office.

 

According to Punch Metro, a visit by a correspondent revealed that the property located on Plot 6 Ogun River Crescent, Maitama, a highbrow area in Abuja, is being used by the Presidential Committee on the North-East Intervention headed by Lt.-Gen. Theophilus Danjuma, a former Minister of Defence.

 

 

Punch reported further that when a reporter who entered into the main building, he noticed that the rooms have been converted into offices while desks had been set up at strategic positions.

 

Speaking to a correspondent, one of the workers, said, “The property was given to us by the government to work. I know that the EFCC seized the property some months ago but it was given to us to work.”

 

 

Recall that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is prosecuting Badeh alongside a firm, Iyalikam Nigeria Limited, on 10 counts of money laundering bordering on alleged fraudulent removal of about N3.97bn from the Nigerian Air Force account.
