His house said to be worth N1.1bn as well as cars worth hundreds of millions of naira were seized by the EFCC under the leadership of erstwhile Chairman, Ibrahim Magu.

However, his case could not proceed due to his failing health.

Dikko joined the Nigerian Customs Service in 1988 and retired in 2015.

He was aged 60.
