Revealed: The Nigerians On The Jet That Smuggled $9.3 To SA by HiDee2(m): 3:32pm On Nov 23, 2014
... A private jet that conveyed $9.3 million cash from Nigeria to South
Africa for an arms deal between the two countries, had Nigerian crew
members, and passengers from Israel and Austria, new documents
obtained by PREMIUM TIMES in Johannesburg have shown.
There were three Nigerians aboard the plane, the documents show.

PREMIUM TIMES obtained the manifest of the jet that transported the
huge sum, and has confirmed the identities of the passengers and
crew who delivered the controversial package.


In an investigation that involved visiting South Africa, PREMIUM
TIMES has obtained documents showing details of the transaction,
including the flight manifest of the airplane. The listing shows that beside Mr. Mesika, the only Nigerians on board the aircraft were crew members. The other two passengers who conveyed the cash were Austrians, the
manifest shows.


The flight crew members of the Project Eagle Air jet with flight
number: N808HE were Ojongbede R.T (captain), Fejoku U, (flight
officer) and George E.E (flight attendant).
The listing contradicts reports that the other passengers were
Nigerians, a claim that set off an intense controversy after the All
Progressives Congress, APC, accused a former militant leader, Dokubo
Asari, of being one of those aboard the plane.


The APC relied on unverified reports by some news websites [not
PREMIUM TIMES] in making the false claim.
Mr. Asari denied the allegation and threatened legal action against
Lai Mohammed, the spokesperson of the APC.
In an interview with PREMIUM TIMES at the time, Mr. Asari threatened
to physically assault Mr. Mohammed if he failed to get justice in the
courts.
“After all the South Africa People have given the names of people on
the plane and if by next week we go to court and the court is being
manipulated not to give me justice, I will resort to self-help,” he said.
“I have the capacity to resort to self-help. I will not give anybody any
apology because if a man has mouth to malign me then I can use
what I have to fight for myself.”
