Dasuki, NSA to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, is at the centre of a massive investigation into the alleged misapplication of about $2.1 billion meant for the procurement of arms.
The property of others linked with the scandal have also been confiscated by the anti-graft body.
A panel, which investigated the way the money was spent, indicted Dasuki and others. The EFCC moved in. Dasuki has been arraigned in court on several count charges.
Among them is a former Theatre Commander of Operation Lafia Dole in Maiduguri, Major General Yishau Mahmood Abubakar.
It was learnt that occupants of some of the buildings were expelled by EFCC operatives who took over the property, which has effectively been marked with red ink.
Dasuki’s confiscated property are said to be a hotel complex on Rabah Road, Malali GRA in the heart of Kaduna metropolis and a mansion under construction on Sani Sami Road, also in Malali GRA.
Except for some workers moving out their tools, the site was empty on Monday.
Maj.-Gen. Abubakar’s residential duplex located at No.5C, Sultan Close was sealed off Sunday evening.
When The Nation visited the property, it was marked, “Keep off, under EFCC investigation” in red paint.
It was also gathered that when the EFCC operatives arrived at the house, there was a birthday party going on. Everybody was asked to vacate the premises immediately.
A shopping mall allegedly belonging to Gen. Abubakar’s wife was also confiscated by the anti-graft agency. The inscription “Keep off, under EFCC investigation” was put on it.
Sources said the property belongs to the General’s brother and not his wife – as alleged.
Another shopping mall on Sultan Road, which is believed to belong to Gen. Abubakar’s friend who is also an Ambassador was also confiscated.
EFCC sources said they are serious, gathering evidence and will take over all proceeds of corruption
