As the
request for looted funds by President Buhari intensifies, Plateau
state Governor Simon Lalong has issued a two-week ultimatum to all
government officials in the administration of former Governor Jonah Jang to
return stolen monies or face the wrath of the law.

To
achieve this, a 12-man transition committee has been set up under the
leadership of Deputy Governor Sonni Tyoden. The committee had once
declared that between May 2007 and May 2015, the sum of N 525.35
billion was the total income accuring to the state, including statutory
allocations, but the state, according to the members was left with a debt
of N222.3 billion by May 2015. The two-week ultimatum ends on the
25th of August.
We are
monitoring the developments.
