Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC) operatives raided the home of Andrew Yakubu, former
General Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC), in Kaduna city on Thursday.
The agents recovered $9.2
million from Mr. Yakubu's safe and an additional
£72,000. The EFCC said it
was the largest sum of cash the commission had recovered in recent weeks.
Mr. Yakubu was
arraigned in June 2016 on allegations of money laundering.
He served as GMD of NNPC
from 2012 to 2014 during the Goodluck Jonathan administration. Premium Times
reported in 2014 that the embattled GMD was sacked after then Minister of
Petroleum Resources Diezani Alison-Madueke accused him of insubordination.
