The money recovered from ex NNPC GMD Andrew Yakubu
Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi has suggested giving amnesty to looters who he said are now hiding their funds in cemeteries, foreign banks, and underground.
Umahi said this on Monday in Abakaliki during an anti-corruption training for Ebonyi State local government officials in Abakaliki.
As stated by him, “We have so much of the looted funds trapped in foreign banks, some buried at the cemetery while many were buried underground where they were destroyed by termites.
“But if there is a negotiation like committing the looters into subtly surrendering at least 70 percent of the looted funds and keeping the rest or investing all the funds in the country; by so doing, we would have recovered the money and made use of it.”
