Monkeys Stole N70m from Senator’s Farm House – Shehu Sani

Ololade Adeyanju/

Senator Shehu Sani has disclosed the real reason Senator Abdullahi Adamu was removed as chairman of Northern Senators Forum.

Sani said about N70 million belonging to the group was claimed to have been carted away by monkeys that raided a farm house.

Adamu’s removal was announced in a letter read by the presiding officer, Ike Ekweremadu, shortly before the end of the plenary on Wednesday.

The letter signed by the forum’s Public Relations Officer, Senator Dino Melaye, noted that Adamu was removed for “financial mismanagement and misadministration”.

Responding to questions on why the senator was removed, Sani said the financial mismanagement bordered on a N70 million belonging to the forum. He said the money was rumoured to have been carted away by monkeys in a farm house.

“There are some things some of my colleagues will not say but I am not used to holding back. When we assumed office, Senator Ahmed Lawan tendered the sum of N70 million to the 8th Senate. The N70 million was money gathered from the 7th Senate. It was handed over to northern senators of the 8th Senate.

“The rumours going round, which I don’t know if true but believe other senators know, is the fact that there were allegations that some monkeys raided the farm house of some of the executives of the northern senators forum and carted away some of these money.

“I think this country is becoming a huge joke. First of all, it was the rodents that drove away the president then we had snakes consuming about N36 million and now we have monkeys raiding a farm house. So, they don’t want this to be said but I believe that we should be very clear
