7 Prominent Female Nigerians Embroiled In Corruption Scandals by dinkyicon: 11:24am On Sep 08, 2015 |
1. Diezani Alison-Madueke is a beautiful face in the ugly business of
corruption. Her name has become the synonym with the embezzlement
scandals. Alison-Madueke is one of the most controversial members of
President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration. She was accused of
spending N10 billion of state funds to charter, operate and maintain a jet
for her personal use.
Besides that Alison-Madueke has been accused by the former CBN
Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi of embezzling cosmic sum of $ 20 billion.
He insists that the former petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke is
responsible for disappearance of $20 billion in oil revenues from the
national treasury. The Indian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Ajjampur R.
Ghanashyam accused Alison-Madueke of stealing at least $ 25 million
from Indian businessmen in a shady oil deal.
Alison-Madueke strongly denies all the accusations. Nevertheless,
according to a report by Sahara Reporters, in order to receive immunity
from prosecution Diezani Alison-Madueke has allegedly offered
Muhammadu Buhari at least $250 million dollars. President Buhari,
however, didn’t take the offer.

2. Stella Oduah, the former Nigerian Minister of Aviation in the
administration of Goodluck Jonathan, was involved in the corruption
scandal of buying two bulletproof BMW cars at an allegedly inflated rate
of N255m. However, Justice Mohammed Yunusa restrained the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission from arresting the former minister of
aviation on September 3. The decision of a Federal High Court in Lagos
also stopped the attorney general of the federation, the inspector general
of police and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related
Offences Commission from inviting Oduah for questioning.
Besides that her Masters’ degree has been challenged by St Paul’s
College, the United States school which supposedly awarded it.

3. Marilyn Ogar, a former Department of State Security spokesman was
also accused of collecting bribes shortly before the governorship elections
in Osun state from the Petroleum Products Marketing Company (PPMC) to
supply lorry-loads of dual purpose kerosene.
Besides that she made a very strange politically charged statement, telling
that the APC party offered two top SSS officials a combined bribe of N14m
to influence the Osun State Guber election.

4. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was accused of stealing $1 billion while serving
as finance minister in Jonathan’s administration. President Muhammadu
Buhari demanded three weeks ago to explain where $1.005 billion
loan obtained from China in 2012 under President Goodluck Jonathan,
disappeared.
However, Okonjo-Iweala denied the accusations of misspending the
money, as well as the allegations that her family was planning to open a
multi-million dollar hospital in Abuja.

5. Toyin Saraki, wife of the Senate President and former governor of Kwara
state, Bukola Saraki, was invited this summer by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to explain the strange inflow of funds
into companies where she had interests when her husband was the
governor of Kwara state. Reacting to the EFCC invitation, Toyin Saraki,
said she will honour the invitation.
However, her appearance at the headquarters of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission in Abuja with an unruly crowd of supporters
caused commotion. The crowd forced their way into the offices of
the EFCC’s Director of Operations, accusing the agency of bias.
However, a senior agent at the EFCC said the agency had generated solid
evidence of graft against the Senate president’s wife and so they were not
bothered by her entourage.

6. Zainab Dakingari, the daughter of former president Umaru Yar’ Adua
and wife of former Kebbi state ex-Governor, Saidu Dakingari, was accused
by EFCC of a fraud worth N 2 billion perpetrated during her husband’s

EFCC wants her to explain the source of the steady stream of huge cash
into her companies, while she held sway as ‘first lady’ of Kebbi state.

7. Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello , the daughter of Nigerian ex-president Olusegun
Obasanjo, was embroiled in a money laundering scandal worth N300
million. In 2008, EFCC charged her to court, but she urged the court to
dismiss the charges on the grounds that that the money allegedly given to
her by the ministry of health had been spent for a bribe given to the Senate
Committee on Health members.

dinkyicon: Hoax my brother. Read between the lines and you will see what this is all about. If the so claimed "unruly crowd of supporters" really caused commotion to the point of forcing their way into the offices of the commission's DoO then am pretty sure they would have been arrested and charged (+ we would have seen the photos as well since we saw many published photos and none portrays violence). It is clearly the machination of some aggrieved persons in the political field. |
