A serving member of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Adamu Aliyu, is currently being interrogated by operatives of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) over alleged contract fraud.
According to Premium Times, Aliyu, who represents Jos North -North Constituency, surrendered himself at the ICPC headquarters in Abuja on Monday, days after Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court declared him wanted at the request of the Commission.
The judge issued the order after investigators told the court that the lawmaker repeatedly ignored invitation to answer questions on fraud allegations.
According to court filings the case originated from petition filed by businessman Mohammed Jidda, who accused Aliyu of swindling him under the guise of facilitating a Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) contract worth N850 million at the University of Jos.
