“Dear EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Lamorde, i am informing you through this medium that while i stand by the statements and evidence that i have voluntarily made available to the EFCC against Gbenga Daniel (the ex-Ogun State Governor), i am no longer willing to appear as one of your principal witnesses in your on-going trial of Gbenga Daniel before an Abeokuta High Court. If we may ask, has Gbenga Daniel not been found to have illegally and fraudulently bought houses in London only to resell the two houses when it became known to the public, and that he later laundered the money to China? The evidence of Gbenga Daniel’s money laundering activities is already confirmed by a report from the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) of UK, which is in the file gathering dust on your table at the EFCC. Now, one Mr. Kayode Oladele was the Special Adviser on NGOs and also a lawyer to Gbenga Daniel at all material times relevant to Gbenga Daniel’s money laundering. Your appointment of the same Kayode Oladele as the new EFCC Chief of Staff, to say the least, is immoral and scandalous. Nigeria is now a subject of ridicule before the international community. Gbenga Daniel has returned to public glare boasting in a recent newspaper interview that nothing will come out of the EFCC trial. I make bold to say that the so-called EFCC fight against corruption is not only selective and half-hearted, but also discouraging to people who are genuinely out to ensure a corruption-free and egalitarian society.”
