The Zamfara State Government says it has recovered about 50 operational vehicles allegedly taken away by the immediate past governor of the state, Bello Matawalle who is now the Minister of State for Defence.
Briefing journalists on Thursday in Gusau, Sani Sambo, a spokesperson for Governor Dauda Lawal said the action followed the judgement by a Federal High Court in Sokoto last Friday.
He said due process was carefully followed to recover the vehicles from the Gusau and Maradun residences of the former governor who earlier denied having possession of any government property when he was leaving office as governor.
Some politicians don’t fear God at all, how can you loot government resources in daylight. These vehicles were bought with Zamfara people’s tax money but Matawalle tried to steal them. Thank God they are recovered.pic.twitter.com/yVdi9RCUP3
