A former Assistant Director of Finance and Account in the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH), Mr Mahmud Deji Sambo aka Ardo Hamjam, has lost his house to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The said property is located at Plot 114, Gamji Road, New GRA, off Bama Road, Maiduguri.

The EFCC secured the forfeiture of the property on Tuesday, February 24, 2017.

Mr Sambo is being prosecuted by the anti-money laundering agency on a 3-count charge bordering on stealing.

The property was attached pursuant to an order by Justice M.T Salihu of the Federal High Court Maiduguri.

The property is alleged to have been acquired with proceeds of crime.

It will be recalled that Mr Sambo and Musti Bukar were arraigned by the EFCC on Wednesday, April 7, 2016 for alleged fraud perpetrated in the finance department of UMTH, to the tune of N58 million.

They pleaded not guilty to the charges. So far, the prosecution has called 10 witnesses as trial continues.
