DAILY POST reports that the JCI findings indicted the former Governors to have misappropriated over 106 billion naira on unexecuted contracts.
According to the chairman of the commission, Justice B. C Iheaka, important findings from the report included a high tech contract scam, outra

The Governor while reacting to the JCI reports commended the commission for a thorough job done without compromise.
