by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC over N4
billion frauds has arrived his rich neighborhood home in Potomac in
the state of Maryland, USA.
The multi-million dollars home where the ex-governor has now moved
to is located at 12301 Glen Road, Potomac, Maryland, 20854 USA.
African Examiner gathered that Mr Audu arrived USA on Wednesday
through London and may be in the US until the end of January,
according to his itinerary.
It is definitely a huge surprise how the ex-governor could flee Nigeria
despite its much publicized wanted notice by the country’s anti-graft
agency, EFCC.
The commission had said that the former governor fled when the its
officials stormed his 32 Suleiman Barau Street, Aso Villa, Asokoro
Abuja residence to arrest him in the early hours of Tuesday
December 11.
He was alleged to have fraudulently enriched himself to the tune of
over N4 billion while he was governor of Kogi State between 1999
and 2003.
EFCC stated that the latest effort to arrest and prosecute Mr. Audu
followed a Supreme Court ruling of November 23, 2012, which
quashed the appeal challenging his prosecution.
Last year, Mr Abubakar Audu staged a failed comeback into Kogi
politics when he re-contested for the state governorship election
under the platform of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and was
defeated.
African Examiner gathered that Mr Audu owns three expensive
houses in rich neighbourhood in Washington DC, Maryland and
Connecticut.
