Impeached Governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako is reportedly set to have treason charges filed against him by the Attorney General of the Federation, Bello Adoke, as well as corruption charges which will be filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Sources told Vanguard, “The AGF is ready with the treason charges against Nyako, who never showed any remorse over his letter to the Northern Governors Forum and refused to retract the contents and apologise even when he had the opportunity to do so.
“The AGF has since been directed to file treason charges against the governor, who was fired by the Adamawa State House of Assembly on Tuesday (yesterday) because what he did was levying war against the nation and inciting the world against President Jonathan.
“If the former governor is lucky, he will survive the legal onslaught against him but he may be in for many years in jail if convicted for his indiscretion and deliberate action to malign the President of Nigeria.”
Nyako whose security details were withdrawn around 1 pm is said to have mysteriously disappeared from his Asokoro mansion in Abuja, and could possibly be on the run.
A source close to the governor told Vanguard: “Some plain-clothe security agents came to look for Nyako but he had left his Asokoro residence.
“These agents were looking so desperate to effect his arrest in connection with a letter he wrote to President Goodluck Jonathan on the security situation in the North, especially Northeast.
“The plot is to arrest him and arraign him for sedition.”
Asked of the governor’s whereabouts, the source said: “Only God and his family could tell now.
“We even learnt that if they cannot locate him, they might declare him wanted. Nyako is a military man; he would only insist on due legal process, even if he has to face trial.”
