A reliable source disclosed this to LEADERSHIP last night.
The arrest of some bank officials has been reportedly linked to money laundering case against the Jigawa State governor a key member of the G-7 governors who is also one of the arrowheads of the "new PDP" . The group is believed to be opposed to President Goodluck Jonathan's rumoured second term ambition.
The SSS is said to be investigating questionable transactions involving the governor and two of his sons, Aminu and Mustapha, who is the district head of Bamaina, their hometown. While Lamido enjoys constitutional immunity and cannot be arrested, his two sons were arrested last week by the EFCC.
Incidentally, it is the SSS that is handling the case of the bankers.
According to the SSS, following the arrest of Aminu, last year, at the Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, for failing to make full declaration of the $50, 000 he had on him while trying to board a flight to Egypt, where his wife was receiving treatment, further investigation of the sources of income of the governor's son revealed huge transactions involving the movement of Jigawa State funds into accounts of companies in which both the governor and his two sons are believed to have interest. The amount involved, according to the SSS, is about N10 billion.
