Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) operatives yesterday raided the private home of former Niger State Governor Dr. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu and his farm in Minna, Niger state.
The Nation learnt the officials arrived at the residence located on Peter Seriki road in Tunga early in the morning.
Witnesses said the officials spent about two hours searching the house.
The raided home was the house the former governor stayed during his eight year tenure as he refused to stay in the official Government House.
After the search, the EFCC officials proceeded to the multi-million naira farm of the former governor, which is located on Mandela Road in Minna.
The officials may not have made much success in the farm as the former governor was said to have “evacuated a lot of things from the farm immediately after the end of his tenure”.
Efforts to get some of his family and his media aide to speak proved abortive.
