The trial of Azibaola Robert, a cousin to former President Goodluck Jonathan began on Tuesday, with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, presenting its first witness, Ibrahim Mahe who gave account of how he transferred $40m to ‘One Plus Holdings Nigeria Limited’, a company owned by Robert.

Azibaola and his wife, Stella, are standing trial before Justice Nnamdi O. Dimgba of the Federal High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja, for seven counts bordering on money laundering, criminal breach of trust and corruption.

Mahe, a retired permanent secretary, special services in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, while being led in evidence by counsel for the EFCC, Sylvanus Tahir, told the court that he did not know Azibaola and Stella personally but knew ‘One Plus Holdings’ through a transaction.

The witness said on August 20, 2014, Dasuki told him to pay $40m into the account of One Plus Holdings for reasons unknown.

He said, “on August 20, 2014, the National Security Adviser endorsed a memo to me which originated from the Office of the Director of Finance and Administration of the ONSA detailing the bank details of one company called ‘One Plus’ and the purpose for which the company was to be paid a sum of $40m.

“The NSA instructed me to prepare payment and I prepared the payment mandate for the $40m in favour of ‘One Plus’ for the signature of the NSA. I sent it to the NSA, he signed and sent it back to me and subsequent action was for me to counter-sign the mandate and then send it to the Central Bank of Nigeria for Payment.”

Mahe had earlier told the court that his responsibilities involved matters that had to do with the ONSA. He said that the Special Services Office responsibilities in relation with the ONSA had to do with matters relating to finances of the entire intelligence community which included the Department of State Services, National Intelligence Agency and ONSA.

According to him, permanent secretary, Special Security Office was responsible for co-ordination of the annual budget of the members of the intelligence community.

“After formulating the budget, the Accountant General releases the funds of the intelligence community through an account that is domiciled with the Special Security Office from where it is distributed to the various end users,” Mahe added.

He told the court that his office served as a warehouse for funds of the ‘Intelligence Community’ and went further to explain how funds were utilised.

“When funds get into the account, the NSA is informed of the arrival of the funds and proposal on the distribution to the various agencies is made to him. When he approves, the monies are sent to the end users,” said Mahe.

The judge adjourned the case till July 4 and 5, 2016 for continuation of trial.

$40million USD


For no reason



Uncle lie Muhammed must hear dis

This is Witch Hunt





Default cry from wailers

$40m for reasons unknown. if GEJ had used half of that for d development of Niger delta ( at least that ll be for reasons KNOWN) maybe ND avengers for no deh bomb now.. He didn't but dem still like am.Dis life is really a misery!!!

Yet this Dasuki still has no shame to say he is been hunted because of what happened in the past, and we have plenty fооls here who still shamelessly and brainlessly supports this merciless yam sharer and claims he is been hunted politically or "witchistically", most of who are youths which is most perplexing and we tend to wonder; why these 'yoots' no get any common sense na?! people sat and shared what could have made your future a lil better and you are here supporting them just because of your hatred for the person in power. fvcktαrd!!!

40 million 'Dallas' ?


"That is chicken change. This is witch hunt"

Wailers have damaged brain I swear

=========================================================================
ANALYSIS
=========================================================================

That is 6.4 Billion Naira at official rate then.

If it were to be in our reserve that is about 10billion naira now.

With that 10 billion we can give 5,000,000 each as loan to 2,000 smart entrepreneurs.

They can employ average of 5 workers each, that is 6 engaged youth per 5 Million and 12,000 jobs created.

This 12,000 people will definitely influence at least 1 person each every month even if it is recharge card to girlfriend or stipend for aged ones monthly

Making 24,000 people that can hang to this money and be happy.

But that kind of money was given to Jonathan's cousin for 'UNKNOWN REASONS' and all what majority of the 12,000 jobless youth who could have been the major beneficiaries could see is WITCH HUNT.

=========================================================================


Some are even screaming "Leave corruption, face the economy , we are suffering"

Until you engage your brains properly, your suffering is just starting.

Now I dnt get angry with wailers any more. You need a very SOUND and INTELLIGENT mind before you can actually agree that Jonathan was no longer an option when he was voted out.

So why didn't you report to the Police at the time?
This idI0t should be thrown to prison.

And the cursed moronic wailers will still open their rotten buccal cavity to talk!

To all the zombies who didn't take out time to read the story, I say shame.

In sane countries, matters relating to govt funds for intelligence is never discussed in public. The witness was perm. secm in ministry of special duties and he simply did his job to counter-sign a cheque for payment.

Such funds are used for some intelligence deals made by FG which are sometimes dirty in the eyes of the public.

I won't say much about this but NAIJA is a joke.

Aru!!

Dnt worry

U will be contacted as defence counsel.

The kind of intelligence deals that ended in Obanikoro's company for onward transmission to Oshogbo and Ekiti.

You need a sound mind to figure some of these things out. So accept my sincere condolence for now.

You can only know what you are aware of. What if Obanikoro was contracted to bring in the mercenaries that helped in the fight against boko haram?

I'm not saying there wasn't corruption amidst the whole thing but the headline here is misleading.

Deals by NSA in civilised countries are never discussed in public even with all the misappropriation of funds.

Let me tell you this? Do you know that sometimes governments hire foreign assassins or call them mercenaries to do some jobs unofficially and do you expect them to be paid salaries by ministry of works?

We are saying the same thing.

Part of the contract was given to Omisore and Fayose to supply grenades and assault helicopter.

I honestly understand you.

Dansuki will soon be on his way home don't worry.

Jona and his thieves nearly sold this country. Bunch of thieves.

Dasuki Gate is going down enough of d stealing,

Chei see money

Day11:
$40million USD

For no reason


Uncle lie Muhammed must hear dis

你说的不错吧 ...

alwayz Dasuki and EFCC....game continue...

They were just sharing money under Jonathan.

I think Patience made a mistake in her speech. 'There is God oo'

It should have been 'All these monies you people are sharing'

CBN turned into our leaders personal saving account..

They never gave me a share of the bounty

To hell with them

Then give...







































Obedience is better than sacrifice

It's their pill. They must take it

The past administration is the biggest corrupt lawless government Nigeria will ever produce. Hope the judge gives the right verdict to the accused and this should also serve as a lesson for the present and upcoming government that there is always time to pay for the consequence of our actions whether good or bad. We are watching in 3D!!!

Ex-President Joe Boy!!!


I wonder how they will prosecute all these people without roping Jonathan into it.

Dasuki could never have shared all that money without order from above.

Chai!! Oga Joe yaf finish us FINISH!!!!

You dey mind the joker.

Any evil did done by the now opposition must not be questioned according to the children of hate, who sees nothing good about this administration.

Just like Ekweremadu, turns to letter writing. You have been given opportunity to defend yourself, but you are afraid cos of guilt burden you carry

The way they just call this amounts mehn my mind dey always skip

It's funny how Nigerian politicians operate only in Dollars!
