Why Our Officials Are Using Hotel Seized From Dasuki — EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has revealed that its operatives are only using Halal Fountain Hotel (Annex), situated at No. 29A, Rabah Road, Kaduna, reportedly seized from former National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd), as a transit camp.

There has been dust over the anti-graft agency’s decision to convert the hotel which has been under investigation in connection with the $2.1 billion arms scandal involving the former NSA to a temporary home for some of its cadets and officials.

But reacting, the EFCC Zonal Head in Kaduna, Sanusi Abdullahi, who confirmed that the facility is presently being used by officials of the agency, the facility is being used by staff on transfer to Kaduna.

Abdullahi revealed that he also benefited from the use of the facility when he was newly transferred to Kaduna.

He also dismissed a claim by a group known as Badarawa Concerned Youths that the “facilities in the premises, including television sets in the rooms, have disappeared into thin air”.

According to him, the EFCC has done a lot of maintenance work to ensure the hotel did not fall apart.

The zonal head said the commission had taken inventory of all items in the hotel with pictures to show the state of the facility when it was temporarily forfeited to it.
