By Matthew Ogune, Abuja
The Vice Chancellor of Federal University, Gusau, Professor Magaji Garba, is currently in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC).
He was detained by the agency on Thursday January 28 after he honoured an invitation in relation to his involvement in a case of abuse of office, corrupt practices and contract scam.
A competent source at the anti-graft agency disclosed that the VC, sometime in 2018 fraudulently obtained the sum of Two Hundred and Sixty Million Naira (N260, 000,000) from a contractor, Alhaji Shehu Sambo, owner of Ministaco Nigeria Limited, on the pretext that the University was going to award his company a contract worth N3, 000,000,000 (Three Billion Naira) for the construction of perimeter Wall Fence around the institution which never materialised.
