The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Saturday confirmed media reports that a former Comptroller-General, Nigeria Customs Service, Alhaji Abdullahi Dikko, returned N1bn to the Federal Government.
Dikko, who headed the NCS between August 2009 and August 2015, was reportedly arrested by the EFCC in June over alleged diversion of N40bn from the agency’s coffers.
He was said to have been released due to his poor health and was expected to return more money.
The commission’s spokesperson, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, who gave the confirmation on Saturday, also confirmed the seizure of a property belonging to the former customs boss in the Jabi District of Abuja, saying it was under investigation.
Media reports had identified the property as a mansion worth N2bn and located at 1 Audu Ogbe Street, Jabi, Abuja.
