Yakubu’s journey to prison started when the EFCC received a petition against him from one Kieran Felix Zirra, alleging that, sometime in March, 2019 one Moses Bulus (now a convict) approached him with a purported purchase order for the supply of emergency shelter kits to the sum of over N19million.
