A former Director of Nigerian Navy Accounts, Rear Admiral Tahir Yusuf Biu, declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was sighted last week in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, moving freely in company of security operatives.

EXCLUSIVE: Former Nigerian Navy Admiral Declared Wanted For N2billion Fraud By Anti-Graft Agency, EFCC Sighted In Abuja ‘Moving Freely With Security Men’EFCC had in October 2022 told a Federal High Court in Abuja that Yusuf was on the run and could not be reached.

The anti-graft agency claimed that all efforts to locate the whereabouts of Yusuf had proved unsuccessful since March 16 2022, when 9 counts were filed against him. EFCC also charged him with unlawful transfer of N148 million from the Defence Intelligence Agency to his company account at Zenith Bank and N334 million into the same company’s account in the same manner.

SaharaReporters gathered that Yusuf was being shielded from arrest by Senator Abdu Suleiman Kwari, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Anti-Corruption and Other Financial Crime. “The EFCC are clearly not interested in prosecuting the retired Admiral and wants the case struck out at the next adjourned date on the pretext that they could not find him when the retired Admiral is not even living in hiding. This is a man that had been in exile in Dubai, United Arabs Emirates for almost 4 years and returned to the country late last year using an illegal passport. Since his return, he has made news for using military and hoodlums to terrorise many residents of Zaria.
