SSS, Police, EFCC Lay Siege On Nyako Security operatives in the country lay siege on the impeached former governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, over allegations of money laundery, theft, abuse of office and treason. A highly placed security source said that a team of joint security operatives comprising of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) Department of States Security Service (DSS) and Nigerian Police Force detectives are currently monitoring the movement of Nyako across the country particularly in Adamawa state and the FCT. Also, another EFCC source said that the embattled former governor has series of petition hanging against him and his son, Abdulazeez Nyako, a zonal manager with a new generation bank. Also some top government officials under his regime are to account for a whopping sum of 43 Billion Naira looted funds. The security source further added that apart from EFCC, Nyako will also be facing the DSS on allegations bordering on treason. Reports have it that the Federal Government through the office of the Attorney General of the Federation, Mohammed Bello Adoke (SAN), will soon file a six count charge bordering on treason against the embattled governor of Adamawa state Murtala Nyako over the alleged letter he wrote to the Northern governors accusing the Federal Government and president Goodluck Jonathan of genocide. He said that Murtala Nyako will be charge before a federal High court sitting in Abuja. Vice Admiral Murtala Nyako (rtd.) had written to the Northern Governors Forum accusing the Federal Government of embarking on what he alleged as a full-fledged genocide in the North. The letter dated April 16, 2014 noted that the adverse security situation in Northern Nigeria in particular and Nigeria in general is being felt by all. According to Nyako, “While every State Government is doing everything possible using virtually all its resources to stem the tide of near disaster facing all of us especially in the North, it is a well-known fact that the present Federal administration has now become a government of impunity run by an evil-minded leadership for the advancement of corruption that is apparently enjoying the protection of the Federal administration as a citizen of this country should enjoy but is being denied by the administration using its mass murderers/cut-throats imbedded in our legitimate and traditional Defence and Security organisations.” He alleged that “ the protection of life and property of innocent citizens in Northern Nigeria and recognising their human rights and voting right in the forthcoming general elections is no longer a cardinal principle of the administration.” Tracing what he described as “The beginning of Genocide,” Nyako said: Clearly the victims of the Administration’s evil-mindedness are substantially Northern Nigerians. The administration is bent on bringing wars in the North between Muslim and Christians and within them and between one ethnic group and another or others in various communities in the region. “Cases of mass murders by its bloody minded killers and cut-throats are well known, but it attributes the killings to so-called Boko-Haram. Thousands of our young girls and boys have been kidnapped by clearly organised militia in the last few years and kidnapping is now a random affair all over the far North.” Nyako was removed from the office on Tuesday via impeachment by the members of the Adamawa state Legislature.
