According to a statement by ICPC’s spokesperson, Mrs Rasheedat Okoduwa, a copy of which was made available to the Nigerian Tribune in Abuja, on Thursday, “the evidence before the commission so far indicated that Senator Jang allegedly committed the offences in March 2015”.
“He allegedly received N2 billion in cash illegally out of the money which was allocated to micro, small and medium enterprises, under the pretext of a loan to be spent on classified expenditure.
“Jang again allegedly received N400 million illegally of funds meant for Plateau State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB).

“Also, efforts to procure an arrest warrant from two different magistrate’s courts in the Federal Capital Territory have been futile as the Magistrates declined to sign them even after the sworn requisite affidavit had been presented by the Commission.
“In the light of the foregoing, the commission may have no other option than to declare the former governor wanted.” The statement explained.
