Jumoke Akinjide Returns N650m To EFCC by 3Ebisco: 11:35pm On Feb 06, 2018
A former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Jumoke Akinjide, has returned N650 million to the Federal Government.

Akinjide informed the court about this development today, when she notified Justice Muslim Sule Hassan of a Federal High Court in Lagos of her plans to reach an out-of-court settlement with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The EFCC had preferred a fraud and money laundering charge against her over the campaign money for the Peoples Democratic Party in Oyo State received from the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.

Her lawyer, Chief Bolaji Ayorinde (SAN), told the court that before the start of trial, the party took the decision to return the fund complained of by the prosecution through his client.

“The entire money from the charge is the sum of N650 million. The funds were campaign money for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo state in the 2015 general elections.

“The defendants who were PDP chieftains in Oyo state acting on the collective decision of the party decided to refund the money.

“I had a word with the EFCC’s lawyer, Rotimi Oyedepo, and we think it is wise going forward and at this point not to subject this matter to further adjudication and waste the time of the court.

“We decided that counsels on all sides should meet to look at the way forward on this charge, the money complained of having been refunded by the party through Jumoke Akinjide.

“My application is that the court should adjourn for further hearing pending the outcome of our discussion”, the silk said.

Other defence lawyers, Micheal Lana and Akinola Oladeji, were also in support of the plan.

Responding, EFCC’s lawyer, Rotimi Oyedepo, said he is not opposed to an adjournment to allow for discussion between parties.

He said: “I confirmed the discussion with the silk this morning. But I want to say that the matter before the court is not principally about campaign funds.

“I also confirmed that the commission had recovered the sum of N650 million, not from the chieftains and principal members of the PDP, but rather from the first defendant (Oloye Jumoke Akinjide).

“Section 270 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015 allow parties to discuss. In view of the fact that the silk has applied for an adjournment to allow for discussion, we would not be objecting to his application”.

After listening to the submissions of the two parties in the matter, The Presiding judge, Justice Hassan adjourned further hearing in the matter till February 22.

Like Father, like Daughter.

In d days of d NPN, it was Richard.
In d days of d PDP, it is Jumoke.

In 1983, GMB collected Richard's loot back to the treasury.
In 2018, PMB is collecting Jumoke's loot back to the treasury.


We will ensure that the AU & internationally recognized Anti-corruption champion continues with dis patriotic duty.
This nation will never return to the years of d locust.

The Two ethnic groups that doesn't have to be forgiven for the embezzlement of public fund by other ethnic groups in Nigeria are Hausa-fulani and Yoruba.

These two ethnic groups are the greatest problem of Nigeria in all sincerity. Nigerian political corrupt practices started with these two ethnic groups in all sincerity.



You have forgotten Olisah Metuh, Tony Anenih, DSP Alamieyeseigha, James Ibori, Anyim Pius Anyim, and Diezani Allison-Madueke are not Yoruba or Hausa-Fulani?

Or no be Igbo men dey rule for Abia state since 1999?

Okotie Eboh who as a minister was already stealing public funds and also converting government property as his own private holdings even before independence, is neither Yoruba or Hausa-Fulani.

Azikiwe who was already fingered in corrupt practices with his own bank as a premier of Eastern region prior to independence, was also not Yoruba nor Fulani.

You funny Nigerians always decide when it's favorable to classify and individual as igbo and when not to...on a normal day half of those men you mentioned above there won't be classified as Igbos by you, you will classify them as niger deltans.

The truth will always remain the truth... calculate the percentage of the Nigerian leaders that have ruptured this geographical region called Nigeria, you will find out my initial post stands.

Where did I classify any of the people I mentioned in my first paragraph as Igbos? I only gave you a litany of looters who are neither Yoruba or Hausa-Fulani that only came to your mind because of the news report you read.

While I stated clearly that the looters who have been ruling Abia state are Igbos.

I also hope that when you read about Olisah Metuh's N400m and other hefty sums of money he is being charged of laundering, you were quick to post that Igbos have been the ones looting Nigeria dry?

Or did an Igbo have to be president for Metuh or Anyim to have joined the looting of Nigeria?

Or do you want me to direct you to the post of a notable Igbo tribalist who tried to prove that Igbos have had better political power in Nigeria than Yorubas, but only ended up proving that Igbos shouting marginalization are only shedding crocodile tears and by extension had contributed more than Yorubas to the mismanagement of Nigeria?
