Network of Crimes Perverts by FCT Ministers Children …How they Stash Stolen Billion of Naira in Unity Bank

Checks have revealed a disturbing trend that may ultimately expose the level of corruption within the Federal Capital Administration led by Alhaji Bala Mohammed. Two of the minister’s children, Shamushdeen and Ibrahim have allegedly stashed funds running into billions of naira in Unity Bank and another offshore account in Dubai.
Shamushdeen and Ibrahim, the first and second sons of the Minister, have proved right the sayings that ‘a crab doesn’t beget a bird’ with their display of corruption just like their father. The duo is notorious for harassing and obtaining contracts from Directors in the FCT using fronts and phony companies
The alleged network of crime perverted by the minister’s children includes running a huge network of friends who are involved in several shady deals: land scammers, contractors who pay huge sums into their bank accounts. It was gathered that directors in the ministry do not fail to carry out orders, usually requests for funds transfer, land allocation in choice places from the duo, Shamushdeen and Ibrahim.
