“Aminu Yaro who looted over N450billion from the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, under Godwin Emefiele, got arrested and detained by the Department of State Security, DSS, went on a spending spree, buying properties worth over N20billion, few days after their release from detention.
The Yaros bought houses and shopping complexes in Guzape, Abuja, worth over N10billion, a shopping complex in Utako for N8billion, and in katampe for N1.2 billion and a house in London for £2.8million. They then bought three others with one for his sister Saratu Umar and four SUVs in what appears to be an attempt to launder funds, making a mockery of Bola Tinubu’s efforts at recovering looted funds under the previous Government of Mohammadu Buhari,” Jackson Ude said on Monday.
“After lavishly spending Billions buying houses in Abuja, some of which are not occupied but mainly used as a warehouse of cash, the Yaros moved to the UK, bought a house in London where he celebrated his wife’s birthday shortly after they were released from the DSS detention.
“The Yaros who are the new Bonnie and Clude, have been enjoying protections and cover using former Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, who had severally used the Yaros to launder billions,” Jackson Ude further said.
