The presidency (Nigeria) has paid nearly N1billion to the family of late President Umaru Yar'Adua.
The slush funds were routed through the Katsina state government, the home state of the former president.
The payment includes about N150 million to Mrs. Turai Yar'adua, as well as the late president's aged mother, his married daughters, and sons.
It is yet unclear if any provision was made for his second wife, Hauwa Umar Radda, whom the late president divorced in 1997, shortly before he became the governor of Katsina state.
