Confirming the arrest, the commission’s Public Relations Officer, Kabir Abba Kabir, disclosed that Mohammed’s account received a total of N240 million between November 1, 2024, when he assumed office, and February 27, 2025. The commission has since recovered the funds.
Mohammed is said to be cooperating with investigators as authorities work to uncover the full details of the fraudulent land sale and hold those responsible accountable.
The commission reaffirmed its commitment to fighting corruption and ensuring transparency in governance. The suspect remains in custody as investigations continue.
