Wanted Kriston Lally CEO turns self in

Barely a week after being declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, in connection with the controversial Nigeria Labour Congress N3 billion Housing scheme for workers, the man behind the failed project has been detained by the operatives of the anti-graft agency.

Vanguard gathered from competent sources in the commission that the Chief Executive Officer of Kriston Lally EPC Nigeria Ltd, Mustapha Umar Madawaki, turned himself in to the operatives of the commission on Wednesday morning and was immediately taken in for questioning by a crack team of interrogators on all that he knows about the fail project, which has cost workers N3 billion of their hard-earned income.

A top source in EFCC, who confirmed Madawaki’s questioning by the commission’s agents, said he was not likely to be released until later in the week.

The source said: “It is true that the man who was declared wanted last week, turned in himself today and our men are currently interrogating him on the failed housing scheme.

It will be recalled that both Madawaki and the immediate past Nigeria Labour Congress President, Abdulwahed Omar, had in 2013 signed a contract to build thousands of houses for Nigerian workers.
