The Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC, has recovered no fewer than 53 tricycles belonging to the Zamfara State government.
Speaking during the handing-over ceremony, the head of the Sokoto Zonal office of the EFCC, Abdullahi Lawal said the tricycles were part of the 1,000 pieces valued N1.2 billion supplied by Kymco and Wadatto Limited.
According to the EFCC, the contractor, who was engaged by former Governor AbdulAziz Yari, refused to supply the remaining 53 even after the government had transited to another administration.
