It has been reported that the officers of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have stormed the headquarters of Kaduna State Urban Planning Development Agency (KASUPDA) and whisked away the Director-General, Malam Ismail Umaru Dikko.
KASUPDA has for long earned the reputation as the most feared agency in Kaduna from the records of its properties demolition across the state.
Dikko, KASUPDA boss, was a Special Assistant to Governor Nasir El-Rufai, before becoming the agency’s head in 2019.
The DG was reported to be in a meeting with his staff when officials of the EFCC took over the office premises a few minutes after 10 am.
Some eyewitnesses said there was a commotion during the arrest.
Some sources say that two EFCC officials in suits, with two police officers holding rifles, accompanied the KASUPDA boss into the EFCC, black Hilux Toyota vehicle.
The DG has been taken to the Kaduna zonal office of the EFCC.
