There appears to be no end to the political crisis brewing in Imo State over the bribery allegation which led to the impeachment of the former Deputy Governor, Mr. Jude Agbaso.

The family of the former Deputy Governor have alleged that the Forensic Auditors they employed have traced the missing N458 million to the accounts of the contractor, JPROS, in the United Arab Emirate, Dubai and Lebanon.

The startling revelation came from the older brother to the former Deputy Governor, Mr. Martin Agbaso, who addressed the press Thursday on the matter.

He said the family had taken the initiative to employ forensic experts in the case because of their desperate need to clear its name from the deliberate attempt to tarnish it.

He equally presented copies of his younger brother’s call log obtained from MTN, noting that no contact was established between his brother and the contractor during the period in question and reiterated that the former Deputy Governor’s impasse was politically motivated.

The revelations also showed that one of Okorocha’s special advisers and Chairman, Committee on Monitoring and Implementation of Road Projects, Mr. MacDonald Akano, was on the board of the company and also its second largest shareholder.

Records at the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), showed that Akano was put on the board of the company at about the same time the execution and mobilisation for the contract in question took place.

The report presented by Agbaso showed that, “Mr. Dina first paid the sum of N325 million into the Three Brother’s Concept Ltd GTB Account.

“The money was used to raise the sum of US$1,930,00 (one million, nine hundred and thirty thousand dollars), which was subsequently transferred through Dubai on February 21, 2012 to Mr. Joseph Dina’s account no: LB550014000023023 00179018010 with the Kaslik Branch of Blom Bank Sal in Lebanon.

“The purpose of the transfer as stated in the transfer document was ‘to import construction equipment’.

“The second tranche of N133,000,000 (one million and thirty-three million naira) was similarly paid into the IHSAN BDG Ltd’s account no: 1015334698 with UBA by Mr. Dina.

“Again, the money was used to raise $800,000 (eight hundred thousand dollars) and transferred to Mr. Dina’s Account no: AE60200000036374395130 with HSBC Middle East Ltd at Dubai Internet City, Sheik Zayed Rd, Dubai.
“So while Mr. Dina was accusing the (former) Deputy Governor of Imo State, Mr. Jude Agbaso, of demanding and receiving a bribe of N458 million, the said money had been converted by Mr. Dina himself and his associates and paid into Mr. Dina’s foreign accounts in Lebanon and Dubai.”



On the ownership of the companies, he said “The Three Brother’s Concept Ltd runs a Bureau De Change and its directors are Abdulahi Lawal, Ahmadu Yanusa, Karimu Usman, Umar Abubakar and Yakubu Abdulahi. Its current shareholders are Abdulahi Lawal, Umar Abubakar and Yakubu Abdulahi. Jude Agbaso, the (former) deputy governor of Imo State, is not one of them.
“The directors of Ishan Bureau De Change are Alhaji Inuwa Sabo, Abdulahi Tasiu Maikano, Haruna Saidu and Mallam Sule. The five gentlemen are also the shareholders. Again, Jude Agbaso, the (former) Deputy Governor of Imo State is not one of them.

“The directors who are also the only shareholders of JPROS Nigeria Ltd, the company whose MD is falsely accusing the (former) Deputy Governor of bribery are Joseph Dina, Aline Dina, Jean Samir Aoun and Mr. MacDonald Akano, the Special Adviser to Governor Rochas Okorocha and the Chairman of the Committee on Monitoring and Implementation of Road Projects in Imo State.
“Isn’t it fascinating to discover that a Director and major shareholder; indeed, the second highest shareholder in the company involved in this ugly defamation of character and wicked attempt to destroy the good name and image of the (former) Deputy Governor, is a member of Governor Okorocha’s inner circle.

“Isn’t it even more fascinating that to know that Akano stood quietly and loyally beside Mr. Dina as he blackmailed and slandered the (former) deputy governor before the members of the state House of Assembly, knowing well that his company, JPROS, was the guilty party in the matter”.

He added: “Governor Okorocha has the power as the governor of Imo State to do whatever he likes and as he deems fit. But he does not have the power to tarnish the image of my family and what is uppermost now is to clear my family name”.

Agbaso said the report of the Forensic Auditors had been handed over to the appropriate quarters, including the police and the Department of State Security (DSS) for necessary action.

Pride goeth before a fall. Jude Agbaso was such an arogant and pompous somebody; who was self centered and never cared to develop relationships.

politicians and corruption in Nigeria.

There are two versions to every story

Is that an answer to the puzzle above?
Why don't u comment on the issue raised than look at his personal lapses if at all he has.
@op,I am so happy that d elder agbaso is taking this up personally and he is wiser than they all are.to be convicted,the must be proves and proves.I am happy u are going along way to vindicate ur brother of the alleged allegations.what pains me the most is that,the said company was introduced to imo state by the governor and nobody is raisng eyebrows on this.why!
Who owns "ROCHE GROUP" which I s handling almost all the constructions in imo?
Okoracha has to answer many questions.

I am not surprised the blind Rochas Okorocha’s praise singers have avoided this thread like a plague.

What has this rubbish u wrote here gat to do with the topic? What do u mean that he doesn't develop relationships? By developing relationship do mean him giving handout to political riff raffs like U?

People like U are reason this country is where it is , u didn't even deem it fit to condemn him for allegedly being involved in a contract scam, yet all U could spew was how he did not service relationship..

I knew this guy might be innocent on this contract issue. Okorocha wanted him out because he did not decamped to APC with him.

If this revelation happens to be the true nature of what transpired in Imo State, then Rochas should be flogged and APC flag shoud also be burnt to ashes. I don't want to buy this story untill the relevant agencies complete their investigation. But never you be a Snitch if really you intends to rule Nigeria Bro Rochas.

Okoracha has to answer many questions.

On the issue raised, I did not see the connection with Okorooacha too. They named the beneficiaries/shareholders of the said companies and concluded that Agbaso is not one of them but forgot to mention too that the person they mentioned in the headline, his name equally wasn't there too.

One thing you should know by now about Nigeria rogue elite is this: Even if you caught their hand right inside the pot, they will still claim not to have done anything wrong, they will blame someone else or say that they are being persecuted.
After all Ibori is still claiming that he is innocent, and some dumbos still believe him too.
That is reality of Nigeria, I am afraid.

chiover: If this revelation happens to be the true nature of what transpired in Imo State, then Rochas should be flogged and APC flag shoud also be burnt to ashes. I don't want to buy this story untill the relevant agencies complete their investigation. But never you be a Snitch if really you intends to rule Nigeria Bro Rochas.

This is how many you are deceived and swayed by many english words jammed together with meaningless figures. Can you digest and break down what you think you leant from that long gist that makes you come to your conclusion?
These are Nigerian expert rogue politicians, don't forget that.
