President Buhari’s Nominee Remanded In Prison For Alleged N182m Fraud

A Kwara State High Court sitting in Ilorin has remanded Dr. Saadu Alanamu in prison custody for alleged fraud to the tune of N182m and abuse of bail condition.





 Incidentally, Alanamu’s name was forwarded to the Senate by President Muhammadu Buhari last week for confirmation as a commissioner of the National Population Commission.


Last year, Alanamu was nominated into the board of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission by the then acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, despite being probed by the same agency. However, following public outcry, Osinbajo withdrew his nomination after which the ICPC arrested and arraigned him for fraud.


The court heard that Alanamu ensured that the contract for the construction and furnishing of an auditorium in Kwara State Polytechnic, at the cost of N182,369, 625.00, was awarded to Namylas Nigeria Limited even when it was found that the company was not qualified to execute the contract. He was initially granted bail by Justice Mahmud Gafar but was remanded in prison on Monday following allegations by the judge that some persons had offered him a bribe to dismiss the case.


Consequently, Justice Gafar ordered a trial-within-trial, which commenced the same day. This, he said, was for the court to determine whether the statement was made voluntarily or not. The trial judge also went on to revoke Alanamu’s bail for abuse of bail conditions. The case was adjourned till Thursday (today) for hearing.
