Serious allegation of looting and criminal diversion of $360 million (over N36 billion) has been brought before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) aginst the chairman of Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS), Mrs Ifueko Omoigui-Okauru.


She, alongside officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria are being accused of defrauding the federal government through improper remitance of revenue from Chevron Group of Companies into the nation's coffers.


In a petition sent to the chairman of the Economics and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mrs Farida Waziri, by Francis Mgboh and Co Fountain Advocate, Mrs Ifueko was said to have remitted the sum of $131 million out of the sum of $491, 509,203 being amount of tax revenue collected from Chevron Group.


The petition, which was dated November 17, 2008, was received by EFCC on November 20, 2008.
Others accused with Ifueko are Dike M.A., E. A Sulu and H.A. Ilo.

The petition states as follows:
Looting and Criminal Diversion of Govt Revenue to the tune of over 360 US million (N36 billion ) by Mrs Ifueko Omoigui Okauru, Dike M.A, E.A. Sulu, H.A. Ilo alongside officials of CBN.


The above subject matter refers. We are solicitor to ABZ Integrated Limited of Suite C1, Bensima House, Aguiyi Ironsi Street, Maitama Abuja and on whose behalf with instructions from the managing director, Fidelis Uzowanne, to forward this petition.

Why can't Nigerians stand up to the few who push them into perpetual poverty?

Lets just wait and see what the outcome will be.

That woman has been there for too long but lets wait for EFCC to conclude the investigations.

what investigation, all will be swept under d carpet like the rest , obj, ibb, sanator iyabo shall continue.

This goes to show that corruption in Nigeria is not confined to a gender or tribe as some might like to believe.

I knew there was something about that woman!

This is serious O! Thank God I haven't paid any taxes this year.

dnex:

This is serious O! Thank God I haven't paid any taxes this year.

LMFAO!

This is a petition - essentially an allegation. It may turn out to be unfounded in reality.

I will wait for more evidence before passing any hasty judgments. If the money was not 'remitted', it must have been paid either to the FIRS or into a CBN account. Let the accused defend themselves and then we'll see.

Yes, I know this is Nigeria, but I do believe this is a malicious petition intended to slander the FIRS boss.

[size=13pt]  EFCC Investigates FIRS Boss Over Chevron Tax Evasion   [/size]

Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has begun investigations into allegations of looting and diversion of $360m (N42.3b) levelled against the Chairman of Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Ifueko Omoigui-Okauru, and three other officials of the Service.

Also being investigated are M.A Dike, E.A Sulu and some unnamed officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) who were listed as accomplices in a petition filed at the EFCC by Francis Mgboh, counsel to ABZ Integrated Limited.

ABZ is a firm that served as consultant to EFCC to investigate alleged tax evasion by Chevron Group of Companies.

The firm stated that from its findings, which it carried out during the tenure of Nuhu Ribadu as EFCC Chairman, the said N42.3 billion was part of the recovery made from Chevron, but unaccounted for by FIRS.

EFCC's spokesman, Femi Babafemi, confirmed at the weekend that the commission was investigating the FIRS on account of the petition.

He said the EFCC had received the petition and has already swung into action, promising to give more details later.

The money alleged to have been diverted, was part of the $491.5m said to have been re covered from Chevron after the company was indicted for tax evasion between 2001 and 2003.

The petition said the money was eventually remitted to the Federal Government through the FIRS by Chevron in several installments but claimed that "the actual amount remitted by Omoigui-Okauru was $131m to secret accounts".

The petition further alleged that the proceeds of the diversion were expended in the purchase of choice houses and exotic cars.

The petitioners told the EFCC that the diversion was in collaboration with some officials of the CBN, and that FIRS officials suppressed all CBN advices on payment from December 29, 2005 to January 16, 2007, in order to conceal the diversion of monies recovered from Chevron.

ABZ Limited also alleged in the petition that the FIRS forged CBN Advice 013675 of September 15, 2004 with a view to diverting the first installment of the recovered tax evaded by Chevron.

If this allegation Of 36 Billion Naira Fraud against Ifueko Omogui and others is proven to be true, they have to be jailed. Ifueko is my cousine and i have experience of some extent to which the Omogui's can be fraudulent.  I am Eghe Egbon and have lived with Ifueko many years ago. I say to my fellow Nigerians countries like America,  England and other countries we respect and want to migrate to for a better life ''do not have the wealth, natural climate, manpower, skills or even physical cash'' as Nigeria. Their leaders did not bastardise their economy. Though there is credit crunch now, their government is fighting in unity to restore it for the better life of their people, their future and the future of their unborn citizens. Nigerians should stand for their rights, this money been stolen belongs to all of us, and not who is in power. I am not talking only on this case, but for all other theft cases or forms of Governmental misconducts. If America and European countries were like Nigeria, will Nigerians run there? Even our leader will loot and run abroad, when we are resourced and can be better than this abroad. Bear in mind the blacks in America did not have rights they fought for it and took it. So i employ the poor, middle class and even the  rich in Nigerian to also fight, demand for our rights and National treasure in our country. It has to be a National team work.  We must always ask questions, demand answers and check for proof.

The court will only tell her to pay taxes on the she stole, as they told lucky igbinedion .

@post
Half-education is a serious threat to our advancement as a nation, many have passed instant judgement on this woman yet its just a petition. Well, considering how some powerful forces fought her re-appointment to that office, am not suprised that evrything will be done to tarnish her image, as I said early on, it is still an allegation, let's wait and see.

what happpened to this woman then?

Well said! Thanks for being a voice of reason!!
Majority of petitions written in Nigeria are baseless.

I think we should not rush into any conclusions, let us wait and see the outcome. If fraud is proven then the law must take its course
