wow, if i am a judge i will jail all parties involved, so dear EFCC charge them to a court of competent jurisdiction and submit your evidences and also bear in mind that there are 2 sides to a story the judge will listen to them to and collect their evidences too, do not take laws into ur hands if they win the case cos u are not judges rather go back and compile more evidence, stop violating human right and stop contempt of court and open show of impunity, we know we are in a dictatorship, disguised as democracy so try and disguise ur impunity at least a bit

Nigeria stole it from them, bared them from using their land while others use their land well then come and prosecute them for taking tiny.

Nigeria’s anti-graft agency Economic and Financial Crimes commission (EFCC) has revealed the details of the monumental financial fraud committed by Patrick Ziadeke Akpobolokemi, the former director-general of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, in league with Government Ekpemupolo and others.


Akpobolokemi was alleged to have persuaded the former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan through the office of National Security Adviser to approve the release of N1.24 billion on the pretence that the money was meant to bankroll the implementation of the International Ship Port Facility Security (ISPS).
After the approval, Akpobolokemi, in concert with his cronies transferred the funds to the accounts of Extre Vertex Nigeria Ltd, Kofar Fada Ltd, Alkenzo Logistics Ltd,and O2 Services Plus Ltd, which in turn gave him dollars equivalent through his cronies.

No wonder they come on Nairaland everyday to worship their Jesus of Otueke.

They are ready to criticize every single thing Buhari does but they will conveniently overlook all the evils that took place under that corrupt evil man called GEJ

It is because they benefited from the heist and they are just so bitter that Buhari has put a spanner in the wheels

Evil people!

'I will fight corruption with technology' once said Jonathan.

That dude could not be said to even effectively rule over a house of 10.
His role in power was like to sign 'cheques', absolutely lost control of other facets of his administration.

In this case do we still follow rule of law? There are cases rule of law should be put aside to get things Wright. Honestly democracy has really dealt with us because we don't know how to manage it. So for 16 years of leadership under pdp, we were living in a nation without foundation or rather a nation in which the foundation is corruption and stealing and some will say stealing is not corruption.

thank God baba won the last election because Nigeria would have wrecked after 6 month under pdp. And for pdp administration to make up the money squandered they will adopt total deregulation and Nigerians will be buying fuel at 150 per litre. Baba more vision to your sight we are behind you.

Nigeria’s anti-graft agency Economic and Financial Crimes commission (EFCC) has revealed the details of the monumental financial fraud committed by Patrick Ziadeke Akpobolokemi, the former director-general of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, in league with Government Ekpemupolo and others.

The agency made the revelations in a counter-affidavit to the request for bail by Akpobolokemi. EFCC spilled the beans and told the court that rather than grant him bail, the court should order for his accelerated trial .

In the affidavit filed by EFCC investigating officer, Yinusa Abubakar, Akpobolokemi was said to have diverted billions of naira, property of NIMASA into his personal account, those of his cronies and portfolio companies.

Akpobolokemi was alleged to have persuaded the former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan through the office of National Security Adviser to approve the release of N1.24 billion on the pretence that the money was meant to bankroll the implementation of the International Ship Port Facility Security (ISPS). After the approval, Akpobolokemi, in concert with his cronies transferred the funds to the accounts of Extre Vertex Nigeria Ltd, Kofar Fada Ltd, Alkenzo Logistics Ltd,and O2 Services Plus Ltd, which in turn gave him dollars equivalent through his cronies.

He was also alleged to have fraudulently sought and obtained the approval of Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan through the same National Security Adviser for the release of N498milion being the purported cost of the implementation of VIMSAS Nigeria. Again, Akpobolokemi allegedly laundered the money through Ansta ventures,Lakewood Gardens Venture Ltd,Kofar Fada Nigeria Ltd,which in turn converted the money to Dollars and delivered same to him.

Other frauds alleged to have been perpetrated by Akpobolokemi include the payment of N132.6 million between 2012 and 2015 to Global West Vessel Specialist Ltd, contrary to the agreement between the two parties.

The money was taken from the sea protection levy generated by NIMASA.
On the 23rd of May 2013 and 20th of August 213 he fraudulently received N200 million through a company called Odimiri Eletricals Ltd with UBA account number 1002345863 opened and operated by him and one Kime Engozu

Mr Abubakar averred further that in another grand conspiracy with the management of Mieka Dive company, the company obtained by false pretence the sum of N11.94billion from NIMASA on the pretence that the said money represented part payment for the acquisition of a property situated at Kunute Okerenkoko Warri South,Delta State. The property was said to be free from encumbrances and owned by Mieka Dive.

Out of the sum paid to Mieka Training institute by NIMASA,the company between 2nd of December,2014,and 23rd February,2015 transferred N5,400,000,000. to Oyeinteke Global Network Nigeria Ltd account number 1018325345 domiciled with UBA. Oyenteke Global Network is owned by Kime Engozu,his close associate.

The sum of N3,900,000,000. out of N5,400,000,000,paid to the company was in turn transferred to the account of companies belonging to the cronies of the former NIMASA boss as follows:

* Bolobolere Properties Estate Ltd. with account number 1013983247 domiciled with Zenith bank Plc N900,000,000.

*Gokia Marine Oil and Gas limited with account number 1771258695 domiciled with Skye bank Plc. N200million.

*Wabod Global Resources Ltd. account number 1018826127 domiciled with United Bank for Africa (UBA)-N2,800,000,000

Out of the sum of N3,133,471,886.29 transferred to Bolobolere Properties and Estate limited the sum of N982,196,000. was used to acquire buildings and landed properties at Banana Island while his relations and companies received the sum of N56,800,000 shared as follows:

*Dat-Pegip Nigeria Ltd- N6,800.000

* Akpobolokemi Julius N20million

*Watershed Associates resources company N30,million.

Out of the sum transferred to Wabod Global Resources the sum of N300million was used to acquire properties at Banana Island while his relations received N15,100,000

*Akpobolokemi Victor-N4,500,000

*Akpobolokemi Emmanuel Ebizimo-N5million

*Akpobolokemi Clement-N600,000.

A front company for his wife Benemo Ltd also received N15million.

Out of money paid into the account of Gokaid Marine Oil and Gas Company account in Skye bank his relations, Akpobolokemi Victor received N10million while his wife ,Beauty Timi received N1,700,000. Timi Beauty also got N3million from Mieka Dive Ltd.

Abubakar also averred that Patrick Akpobolokemi whilst being the Director General of NIMASA, in a grand conspiracy with the other co-accused persons without the mandatory approval of the accountant General of the Federation opened accounts numbers 0688939609 and 006055559139 at Access Bank in the name of committee on intelligence and committee on ISPS respectively.

Upon opening the said accounts, N1.153 billion was transferred to them, but the money was converted by the former NIMASA boss and other co-accused persons for their personal use.

In a desperate bid to succeed in converting the said sum, he and his cronies forged various documents to the finance and Administration Department of NIMASA,but the purported makers of the document have denied issuing the Documents.

Currently,three criminal charges have been filed against Akpobolokemi and other co-accused persons including about seven companies alleged to have been involved in conversion of billions of Naira.

Akpobolokemi has been arraigned in respect of two charges number FHC/496C/15 pending before Justice Saliu Saidu and FHC/511C/15 before Justice Ibrahim Buba, while he is yet to be arraigned in respect of charge FHC/L/553C/15 pending before Justice Ibrahim Buba because one of the principal co-accused in the charge, Government Ekpemupolo,alias TOMPOLO is yet to be apprehended.

However Justice Buba has adjourned till tomorrow for the accused persons to be arraigned.

Read the article properly and you will discover that it will be difficult for the EFCC to convict anyone with any of the charges. Money was paid for particular reasons and the EFCC has not disclosed whether those jobs were done or not. Contract inflation is different from embezzlement and most of the money was paid into company accounts. If I sell my house that is worth 200k to the government for 1 billion Naira, you cannot prosecute me for embezzlement because I have no access to government treasury. In the event that those jobs were not done, Tompolo can only be asked to refund the money for not doing the job. Don't get me wrong, I HATE Tompolo and other militants but law is not about sentiments. You need to prove your case in a law court and not on the pages of newspapers. Dasuki stole 2.1 billion dollars and up till now we have not traced up to 10 billion naira. Did he swallow the money? All these things have to be proved before you can get a conviction and that is why EFCC and DSS have no balls to charge anyone to court yet.

No wonder he was re-bundled into a waiting bus the other day at the High Court. Something should be done about this slow trial process. We keep hearing looted Billions & Trillions everyday, I need to start hearing that Mr A has been sentenced to 30years imprisonment for looting billions and so on. It'll soon be a year of PMB in office & none of these high profile thieves has been sentenced by a Court.

Sometimes, I wish buhari can just suspend the constitution to enable him have unchecked powers to jail and execute these thieves who are screaming rule of law after commiting several crimes against humanity and looting the country blind. Democracy is indeed an enemy of our national progress and developments because its gives corrupt politicians the chance to thrive and delays their prosecution because they can buy court judgements at will and hide under the rule of law. GEJ and his goons shall never escape karma for inflicting so much damage on our beloved country.
