The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday announced the recovery of 17 exotic vehicles in a warehouse belonging to former Comptroller General of Nigeria Customs Service, Abdullahi Dikko Inde, on Nnamdi Azikiwe Street, Kaduna.
Inde, 56, was customs boss from August 26, 2009 to August 17, 2015
A statement by the anti-graft agency said the recovery was sequel to an intelligence the commission received that stolen money and properties suspected to be proceeds of crime were being stored in the warehouse.
Upon receipt of the intelligence, a team of operatives from the Kano Zonal Office were deployed to carry out the investigation.
On arrival at the location, two individuals who were discovered to be the custodians of the property, Dantala Mohammed and Ahmed Balarabe, were presented with a search warrant.
Upon executing the search warrant, a total of seventeen amongst them brand new cars, shuttle busses and SUVs were discovered.
