Against reports of a national daily newspaper, fresh facts have emerged as to the involvement of Mahmood Ahmadu, one of those being investigated over the immigration recruitment that led to loss of several lives in the past administration.
According to findings by The Street Journal, it was revealed that at no time has the Interpol declared Ahmadu wanted or invited him for interrogation of any kind contrary to reports that he was being sought to answer questions regarding immigration job tragedy.
Far away from what was published in the said newspaper, findings also revealed that Mahmond is not wanted and is not on the wanted list of Interpol and the Metropolitan Police.
The said national daily newspaper, sometimes in February this year, published that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had contacted Interpol for the arrest and deportation of Ahmadu, who was said to have collided with the former Minister of Interior, Abba Moro, to defraud job seekers of millions of naira without proper investigation.
Further investigations by the Street Journal has revealed that the story may have been cooked and dished to the Nigerian public to rubbish Ahmadu's person and character. In course of investigation, it was found out that Ahmadu freely moves about and is ready to defend himself of any complicity in the immigration scam as being investigated. As it has since been established that Mahmood Ahmadu's firm was a mere consultant to Ministry of Interior when Abba Moro was minister and he was contacted to help in the recruitment exercise without taking any direct part in the collection of money from applicants.
Recall that applicants paid N1000 each through an e-payment platform for their online recruitment exercise into the NIS, there was therefore no way through which Mahmood Ahmadu would have been involved in handling money. His job at that time was to offer consultancy services in the best way through which the exercise would sail through without hitches.
