The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission said it had traced some money out of the N23 Billion alledgedly disbursed by Diezani Alison-Madueke, former Minister of Petroleum Resources to some past governors.
According to the financial crimes agency, N500 Million was traced to Idris Wada, the immediate past governor of Kogi State, while another sum of N450 Million has been traced to Sani Danladi, a former acting governor of Taraba state.
The money was allegedly disbursed through the then Director of Finance of the Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation, Senator Nenadi Usman.
