The Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) has taken over a palatial mansion belonging to the immediate past governor of Kwara State, Abdulfatah Ahmed, over an alleged N5 billion debt.
The action by the anti-graft agency came up less than than 24 hours after the former governor joined forces with some prominent Nigerians, including ex-Chairman of Independent Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega; renowned Economist, Professor Pat Utomi, and former Minister of Education, Prof Tunde Adeniran, to form a new political alliance.
Other members of the alliance christened, The Rescue Nigeria Project, included a former member of the House of Representatives, Hon Usman Bugaje; and two members of staff of the United Nations, Prof Terhemba Shija and Dr. Rose Indi Dalandi, among others.
According to them, The Rescue Nigeria Project was founded on the premise that the problems of Nigeria emanated from poor leadership, and the deepening crises in the leading political parties were all the more the reason the re-calibration was necessary.
A video circulating online shows the moment a lawyer to AMCON, who identified himself as Dr. Robert Uwuoba, arrived the premises located at 9A, Abdulrazaq street, GRA, Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, this morning.
