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.
South Africa seized the money early September, accusing the
Nigerian government of violating its laws regulating the
transfer of cash.
Another payment by the Nigerian government for arms to
combat the extremist Boko Haram sect, was also confiscated.
The second transfer, totalling $5.7 million, was wired through
the banks.
The South African ambassador to Nigeria was later quoted as
saying the money had been returned to Nigeria, a claim that
has yet to be verified.
Details of the first transaction, revealed by a South African
newspaper, City Press, said an Israeli and two Nigerians were
aboard the airplane that transported the sum to Lanseria airport
in South Africa.
The first tranche of the money was conveyed to South Africa
on September 5 in two plastic bag suitcases and two hand
luggage aboard an airplane belonging to Ayo Oritsejafor, the
chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN.
While the Nigerian government confirmed the transactions, it
denied violating any foreign law. The government also refused
to provide the names of those aboard the airplane.
In its report, widely quoted in the Nigerian media, City Press
said the Israeli passenger, Eyal Mesika, had the key to the
combination lock of the suitcases. The paper also said two
Nigerian passengers were aboard the plane. It quoted South
African law enforcement officials.
The report however did not reveal the identities of the
Nigerians, and South African officials also declined to provide
those details to PREMIUM TIMES when contacted from
Nigeria by telephone.
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 two Austrians are named, R. Wolfgang and M. Michael.
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.”
