The Niger State Government has asked former Governor Babangida Aliyu to refund N2.9bn, which the state government alleged was embezzled.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the state governor, Dr. Ibrahim Dooba, indicated that the money was taken as loan on the eve of Aliyu’s departure.
It stated that although the new administration of Governor Abubakar Bello was not on a witch-hunt, but noted that “the misappropriated money” belonged to the people.
The government said, “They took this loan on the eve of their departure. And as was customary with that administration, they did nothing with the money.
