off 3 houses belonging to former governor of Katsina state, Ibrahim Shema. The
houses are in three different locations and boldly on its walls, was the
inscription, “EFCC Under Investigation.”
The first house is located at Makera estate along Daura
road, while the second was inside Barhim estate and the last in the Government
Reserved Area, all in Katsina.
The present governor of the state, Governor Aminu Bello
Masari, was said to have been displeased with the handover note he received
from his predecessor and thereafter, set a panel to investigate the management
of the state’s finances by Mr. Shema.
The ex-governor was declared wanted by the EFCC, for an
alleged fraud amounting to 76 billion Naira.

answer questions over the allegations made by the current governor of the
state.

governor is wanted for criminal conspiracy, inflation of contracts, abuse
of office, diversion of funds and embezzlement.
