Gombe State Assets Recovery Committee has invited the former governor of the state, Ibrahim Dankwambo, and his aides for questioning over state property which were allegedly disposed of without due process.

Chairman of the committee, Peter Bilal, told newsmen on Saturday that the committee would resort to legal actions if they fail to appear before it.

Governor Inuwa Yahaya set up the committee following his inauguration to recover alleged government property improperly disposed of by the past administration of Mr Dankwambo.

“We call on Dankwambo, his former commissioner for finance and appointees, including his aide de camp, principal permanent secretary (PPS) and chief of staff to respond to the directive.

“Also, the former security adviser is to appear before the committee and surrender government property in their possession with immediate effect,” Mr Bilal said.

He also called on any persons in possession of government property to return them as soon as possible.

Bilal said the committee had recovered some government property and some beneficiaries voluntarily surrendered theirs.
