Magu added that some of these agencies had not paid for the vehicles but there was an arrangement in place for the money to be deducted from their financial allocation.

“On allocation of vehicles to some government agencies through special auction with presidential approval. The beneficiary agencies are the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management of which the valued price is to be debited from their allocation; State House, National Commission for Refugees and Displaced Persons; Federal Inland Revenue Service and National Directorate of Employment,” he said.

The revelation of the suspended EFCC boss is a response to the special investigative panel’s request for him to explain how some of the vehicles and houses recovered by EFCC were auctioned as well as his inability to account for the interest accrued on the N550bn recovered funds.

Magu also added that about 450 other vehicles were yet to be disposed of, though the anti-graft agency had got the presidential approval to do so and the vehicles valued by appropriate government agencies.

“The commission presently has presidential approval to dispose over 450 forfeited vehicles located in Lagos and Abuja. The vehicles have been valued by the National Automotive Council Valuers and the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing. But no sale/disposal has been conducted yet,” Magu stated.

Some of the houses that had been permanently forfeited to the Federal Government by looters have also been handed over to government agencies like the Voice of Nigeria, North -East Development Commission and the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate while some others with pending court cases are been rented by other government agencies.

“Real properties finally forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria and allocated to some agencies for official use in line with the Presidential approval are: Voice of Nigeria, National Directorate of Employment, Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, North East Development Commission and Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate.

“Properties under interim forfeiture order are rented by the following government agencies: Nigerian Army, Federal Ministry of Finance, Fiscal Responsibility Commission, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission and Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria.

“Other agencies of government that have approached the commission to rent properties under interim forfeiture order include: National Human Rights Commission and National Council for Arts and culture.”

It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate.

It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him.
