According to informants, Maku who contested for governor of Nasarawa State but lost immediately started withdrawing all his ill gotten wealth as soon as he lost the guber race, knowing that there will be no immunity to stop the probing.
A total of seven military Hilux trucks loaded with money some sources said were sighted driving away from the farm. Information pieced together by this medium is that the State government was the ones that told the military of Maku wealth. According to a very knowledgeable indigene of Nasarawa, the government did so to stop Maku from having money to pursue the case at the tribunal.
According to Dr Idris Ahmed, most of Nigeria corrupt politicians now keep their ill-gotten wealth in:
1. Farms.
2. Overhead water tanks at home.
3. Granaries at home and at relatives’ homes in villages.
4. Trunk boxes.
5. Underground bunkers for storing Yams and Potatoes.
6. Irrigation farms and plots.
7. Old cars that are no longer in service.
8. Underground fuel tanks at disused petrol stations.
9. Ceilings inside houses.
10. Family graves.
Besides the aforementioned, one other ingenious way that the criminals have been using to hide our stolen wealth is the use of converted houses.”
