The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared a manhunt for the senatorial candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Kano Central, Abdulsalam Zaura over an alleged $1,320,000 fraud.
Speaking to Journalists on Monday at the premises of the Federal High Court Kano, Counsel to the EFCC, Ahmed Arogha said the commission has declared a manhunt for AA Zaura, adding that they are “looking for him.”
Arogha who spoke shortly after the court failed to sit over the absence of the presiding Judge declared that the Commission would “arrest him wherever he is.”
Arogha said “anytime and anywhere we see, we will arrest him”
The development comes after Zaura’s bid to stop the federal high court from trying him at the Apex court suffered set back.
The Supreme Court of Nigeria has also directed the APC senatorial candidate to appear before the Federal High Court Kano to face the criminal charges preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Zaura was accused by the Commission of defrauding a Kuwaiti Citizen by obtaining the sum of $1,320,000 (One Million Three Hundred and Twenty Thousand Dollars) under the pretext that he posed as Estate Agent that specialised in building in Dubai, Kuwait and other Arabian countries.
