– Further Recoveries Made
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has released the sacked chairman of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Jalal Arabi, and the commission’s secretary, Abdullahi Kontagora, on bail.
Arabi and Kontagora were detained over alleged illegal withdrawal and the mismanagement of the N90bn 2024 Hajj intervention fund by the Federal Government.
Both Arabi and Kontagora, were intially unable to meet their bail conditions and were consequently detained in EFCC’s custody for five days.
Sources disclosed that the duo were released on Monday, adding that no further recovery had been made yet after the first 314,098 Saudi Riyal.
“The former Hajj Commission chairman and the secretary have been released, and the investigation is still ongoing. They were released on Monday after meeting their bail conditions. Nothing yet on the matter. No other recoveries except for the earlier ones,” the source said.
