Sheriff Rabiu, a former Chief Security Officer (CSO) of ex-Governor Murtala Nyako, has been detained by the Directorate of State Services (DSS).
Sheriff, a retired Assistant Commissioner of Police, was arrested and held on Friday following a plea by management of Sabore Farms Ltd, a company owned by Murtala Nyako, according to information acquired Saturday.
Murtala Nyako, a retired naval chief, was the elected governor of Adamawa State between 2007 and 2014.
Nyako who had always been a big-time farmer, returned to his expansive farm, the Sabore Farms Ltd, located at his home Mayo-Belwa local Government Area, after leaving Government House following a controversial impeachment in 2014.
According to a petition addressed to the Director of Adamawa State Command of DSS, Sheriff was instructed by Sebore Farms to buy a landed property at the cost of N80 million.
The petition alleges that Sheriff changed the sales agreement to Ashran Nigeria Limited, a company which the complainant believes belongs to Sheriff.
