Gov Daniel’s Cook Keeps N400Million In Bank Accounts
May 28, 2009 17:30 (1 hour ago), 177 views

By Jide Osokoya
The police in Ogun state have claimed that N400 million has been found in two bank accounts of a cook to the state’s governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, P.M.NEWS learnt in Abeokuta, this morning.


However, from the governor’s office, Okemosan, came a rebuttal that the money found in the accounts was ‘just N13 milliom’. The accounts maintained by the cook, Tope Ikujenyo, are lodged with IBTC/Stanbic and Intercontinental Bank. The cook was arrested on Monday, inside the governor’s private library where he had attempted to steal a huge sum of money belonging to his boss. After his arrest and detention at the Ogun State Police Command, Eleweran, Abeokuta, the 26-year-old Ikorodu-born domestic staff was said to have confessed to the police that though he was unlucky the day he was caught, he had been taking money from there for a long time.
Impeccable police sources who revealed the financial scandal, told P.M.NEWS, that Tope’s two secret bank accounts were exposed by a transaction alert on his phone in the course of interrogation by the police. The sources revealed that on tracing the accounts to IBTC/Stanbic and Intercontinental banks, the total amount found was about N400 million, adding that they were being hampered in their investigation by close aides of the governor’s. “We would have extracted a lot of vital information from the suspect, but the Deputy Chief of Staff to governor Daniel, Mr. Soji Akin-Bankole, told us not to torture the man,” the police sources informed P.M.NEWS.

An inside source at the governor’s office at Okemosan, who confirmed the discovery of Tope Ikujenyo’s two bank accounts, stated that the amount being circulated in the secretariat was N13 million, but quickly added that it could be an official figure. When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Ogun State Police Command, Mr. Muyiwa Awojobi, said he heard about the issue but had not been briefed. Said the PPRO this morning: “I’ve not been properly briefed about the matter and I did not receive any signal to that effect, even though journalists have been calling me since yesterday about the issue.”

He, however, promised to get back to P.M.NEWS after he might have been briefed on the case. Reacting to the story, the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the governor, Mr. Adegbenro Adebanjo, said: “Once again, that is another of such fictions about Ogun state that we hear and read regularly. “The fact is that a steward was discovered to have illegally entered the study room of the governor’s. Police are investigating the incident. However, no dime of government money was stolen.” Adebanjo had earlier told journalists that nothing like that happened.

Well, from my knowledge of how things go, being caught is one thing. So I will wait to see what comes of this. I mean this man is likely to continue with no more mention of this.

Impossible. There is no way he/she can keep 400million in one place unless they mean $400M Zimbabwean dollars.
Re: Gov. Daniels Cook Caught With 400 Million Naira by biina: 6:40am On May 29, 2009
I doubt the guy would have gotten N400 million and still continued as a cook, but I expect the actual amount is much higher than the N13 million (possibly N40 million).
He might not have stolen the entire money from the governor's study, but might have gotten some for doing 'espionage' work for interested parties e.g. taking peeks at documents, appointment lists, eavesdropping on conversation etc.
It is not uncommon for domestic staff to people in high positions to engage in these

Fuuuuck me, see admission of our police's wonderful interrogation techniques.

A police officer is blatantly admitting torture and the reporter and police authority are not even flinching. shocked

#13m or #400m in the account of a steward? If being a steward is so lucrative why then would one be aspiring to be a doctor, an accountant, an engineer or whatever with the attendant inability to save even #500,000 in a year. I never knew that there are rivers of money flowing endlessly and in-exhaustively in government houses where whoever is lucky to get there can draw money like you are drawing water even to your satisfaction with the consequent explosion of one's bank account that otherwise would have been in red!
Re: Gov. Daniels Cook Caught With 400 Million Naira by eyonigger(m): 1:27pm On May 29, 2009
How can this dude have 400 mills and still stealing?

Maybe the figure was exaggerated, well a thief wont stop stealing until he/she gets caught.

Gbenga Daniel is the most useless GOV in the entire History of Nigeria, he does not run his mafioso properly.

Too many scandals for this dude.

This is a case of barboon de work, monkey dey chop.
Our so called political leaders are not only murderers, they are armed robbers. The more reason why the military felt reluctant to relinguish power to the politicians for a very long time. A Gov cook with #400 mil when graduates are roaming the streets of Lagos and other cities insearch of jobs that are not forth coming. Only God can save us from this wicked and selfish individuals

My brother sometimes, I wonder why one went through the rigor of "differentiating an imaginary "X" to the forth derivatives" and still have to work for years to make 1% of what some "lucky bastards" would take in just a day. I keep wondering. lipsrsealed cry cry
