Nna to steal money from the Nigeria coffers no hard all you need do is to write a memo to the CBN and fiam alert go ring for you Niger account. "What happened to due process" and "rule of law" or does it work only when you want to recover the loots. Phase two for just the ONSA If we reach kerosene subsidy what phase we go get

This is the big problem in Nigeria. There is too much reliance on cash transactions. I was in the Nigerian embassy in Germany recently and i was amazed at the level of corruption there. The amount that was advertised on the NIS site was not the same charged at the embassy, plus there were fees charged at the embassy that were not stated on the Site, and they were demanding cash for all this. It had been a long time that i'd seen this level of cash transactions in the open. No be bank Now so why should this be happening? If they can be doing this in far away Berlin, i shudder to think what would be happening in Nigeria. Nigerian don't have their priorities in place because if they did, the main focus would be looking for ways to stop these kind of dependence on cash transactions. This is one of the reasons why corruption is so rampant in the country. It is sad that i have to keep going back to Nigerian embassies for visas. What a country.

The biggest blunder made by those corrupt politicians was to put pressure on PMB to fire Larmode. They would be cursing their luck by now, the more reason they've gone cold on the CCT chairman. It goes way beyond their analogy that baba was preparing the Stone Cold Magu on the sideline. I am particularly expectant of seeing top on the corruption chart; EFCC vs NOI. Magu will look her in the face and squeeze her guts, not sparing mr. fortunato.
The truth has spoken!

You hoped so much that would be the aftermath so you could finally have some rest for your corrupt and troubled soul.

Sadly for you, that did not happen. I guess when you saw Buhari's reaction at the presidential chat, you almost ran into hiding thinking he would come for you through the TV?

Buhari will fight corruption with a fury that has never been seen before except in his 1st regime. The sooner you accept that Buhari is not a spineless and clueless Jonathan, the earlier you will begin to keep away from corrupt acts.

When last did you hear from Mr Fortunato?

[quote author=Yhunoos post=41599196]• Investigates €3.6m spent to buy security vehicles for Niger Republic

• Okonjo-Iweala, former Service Chiefs to be quizzed

• Intensifies collaboration with UK NCA over Diezani

A second round of investigation into the $2.1billion arms deals is to be commenced by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) tomorrow.

Top of the probe agenda is how the Jonathan Administration spent €3,654,121million
to purchase security vehicles for the Republic of Niger in October 2013 and April 2014.

The cash was withdrawn from the ONSA account in two installments of €1, 401,869 and €2,252,252.25,

The commission is also seeking to verify whether or not the vehicles were bought and under what diplomatic or bilateral security cooperation.

It was gathered that it would require finding out from the Republic of Niger if there was such assistance from Nigeria.

The agency plans to quiz a number more public figures including Minister of Finance in the Jonathan administration, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, some ex-Service Chiefs and serving military officers in connection with the $2.1billion arms deal.

Some suspects may be taken into custody in the process,sources hinted yesterday.
The EFCC,it was gathered, is through with the first phase of the probe of the arms deals which led to the arraignment of ex-National Security Adviser Sambo Dasuki and 10 others.

The interrogation of the likes of Dasuki and the others now facing trial or about to be arraigned seems to have convinced the agency of diging deper than originally planned.

A top source said: “We are beginning the second phase of the ongoing investigation of the $2.1b arms deals on Monday. From the preliminary findings, the scandal is mind-boggling.

“We are going to question more high-profile serving and former public officers, including a former Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala on the release of some funds.

“We want the ex-Minister to shed more light on how about $322million was disbursed to the Office of the National Security Adviser(ONSA).

“Some serving and former military chiefs will have to respond to issues which we have already isolated for clarification.”

The source said investigators have already obtained the list of military equipment which were bought and the inventory by the Armed Forces.

“This explains why some serving and former military chiefs will need to come and assist our investigators,”he said.

“Some of the companies which supplied these equipment have been contacted too.”

On the purchase of security vehicles for Niger Republic,the EFCC is said to have established that the money by ONSA on the purchase of vehicles for Niger Republic was withdrawn from the ONSA account in two installments of €1, 401,869 and €2,252,252.25,

The commission is keen to confirm whether or not the vehicles were bought and under what diplomatic or bilateral security cooperation.

It was gathered that it would require finding out from the Republic of Niger if there was such assistance from Nigeria.

The initial cash of €1, 401,869 was drawn from the Central Bank of Nigeria in an October 2013 through ONSA memo ACCT/87/VOL.1/384

The second tranche of €2,252,252.25 was got from the CBN in an April 1, 2014 via a memo ACCT/87/VOL.1/60

The first memo to the CBN Governor,
“Transfer of foreign exchange”, said: “You are please requested to transfer the sum of €1, 401,869.00 only in favour of SEI Societe d’equipments internanaux-Niamey-Niger BP 11737 as payment for the supply of security vehicles to Republic of Niger. The wire transfer details are as follows: Banque: SONIBANK (Republique du Niger-Niamey). Compete N025111123981/22. Code Banque:80064. Code Guichrt: 01001.

“The amount should be charged to National Security Adviser Account no. 0020172241019 with the Central Bank of Nigeris Abuja and all charges thereto.

“Please accept the assurances of the National Security Adviser.”

A second memo said: “You are please requested to transfer the sum of €2, 252, 252.25 only in favour of SEI Societe d’equipments internanaux-Niamey-Niger BP 11737 as payment for the supply of security vehicles to Republic of Niger.

“The amount should be charged to National Security Adviser Account no. 0020172241019 with the Central Bank of Nigeria,Abuja and all charges thereto.

“Please accept the assurances of the National Security Adviser.”

Meanwhile, the EFCC has intensified its collaboration with the National Crime Agency in the United Kingdom with the ongoing probe of former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke.

The International Corruption Unit (ICU) of NCA on October 2 arrested Diezani and four others.

The identities of the remaining four suspects are yet to be unveiled.

But all the suspects are being investigated for alleged bribery and money laundering.

The EFCC source, who is actively involved in the ongoing investigation, said: “We have been collaborating with NCA on Diezani’s case which has reached an appreciable level.

“We have the details of others arrested with Diezani but we will not disclose until the matter gets to a convenient bend.

“So far, we have been comparing notes with NCA on a faster note in terms of tracking a few transactions and documents. There is no hiding place for the ex-Minister and her alleged accomplices.

“By the time the trial begins, the NCA and EFCC would have established a solid case against the ex-Minister and other suspects.”

Now the whole thing is getting clearer. Check the time frame of the plane, it was around that time that we were told that Niger's President has negotiated ceasefire with Boko haram. If you didn't forget, you'd also know that former President Jonathan went to Niger twice in succession. And in one of such visits in company of Ali Modu Sheriff former governor of Borno. It's making sense now. All we need is to connect the dots together and we would have known that Nigeria through GEJ don turn maga. Niger ti gba wa!
