There was mild drama during an investigative hearing by the Senate Public Accounts Committee (SPAC) when the Managing Director of Bank of Agriculture, Alwan Hassan, was unable to show evidence of purchase of two Toyota Prado and one Ford Ranger Jeeps worth N49m meant for monitoring Agricultural Mechanisation Programme of the Federal Government.
The Committee chaired by Senator Matthew Urhoghide had summoned Hassan based on a query raised against the agency by the Auditor-General of the Federation, Adolphus Aghughu, in his 2017 report on the alleged missing Jeeps in the Kaduna state branch of the Bank.
However, when the Managing Director of the Bank appeared before the committee to respond to the query of the missing vehicles worth about N49million, he could not present any document to prove that the vehicles were actually bought.
