The committee’s Chairman,
Alhaji Jelani Kalgo, the Chairman of the panel made the disclosure on Thursday in a report he presented to Governor Ahmed Aliyu in Government House.
The committee said it was able to recover only 32 of the vehicles, adding that 40 of them had been taken to Niger Republic.

“The committee discovered that about 40 vehicles were released on hire to private individuals and were taken beyond the boundaries of the local government areas; some beyond the boundary of the state and some beyond the boundary of Nigeria to as far as Niger Republic.
The vehicles include six graders, six payloaders, three rollers, nine tippers, four water tankers and two fire service tankers, among others. This is very disturbing.
“We went round all the 23 local government areas and found out that, 70 per cent of the 443 vehicles there were grounded
“Your Excellency, some of these vehicles were found hidden in far places at the state metropolis.’’
