The Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) in Bauchi State has handed over to six local government councils, six tractors worth N72 million which were seized from the former senator representing Bauchi Central Senatorial Zone.

ICPC State Commissioner, Abubakar Dutsinma, who handed over the tractors to the chairmen of Ganjuwa, Misau, Dambam, Darazo, Warji and Ningi councils in Kafin Madakii, said they  were recovered on July 31 by a special Constituency Projects Tracking Group (CPTG) set up in 12 states by the commission in collaboration with civil society organisations.

He said in the course of the investigation, the group discovered that the tractors were under the 2015 constituency projects bought by Isa Hamman Misau, but could not be delivered to the councils. Dutsinma explained that the chairman of the Commission, Prof. Bolaji Owosanoye, ordered the release of the tractors for distribution to the beneficiaries.
