The Senate Committee on Drugs, Narcotics, Financial Crimes and
Anti-corruption have summoned the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Asset
Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) and other relevant
stakeholders to appear before it to explain what happened to the N150
billion Mrs Cecilia Ibru reportedly forfeited in assets and cash after
she was convicted of fraud by a court in 2010.
The summons comes after a petition was sent to the committee alleging
that the funds and properties recovered by the EFCC from Mrs Ibru were
not remitted to the banks.
The committee say they plan to throw its searchlight
on the recovery of assets from other convicted Managing Directors of
Intercontinental Bank Plc, Union Bank Plc, AfriBank Plc and Bank PHB.
