Nigeria’s anti-graft agency Economic and Financial Crimes commission (EFCC) has revealed the details of the monumental financial fraud committed by Patrick Ziadeke Akpobolokemi, the former director-general of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, in league with Government Ekpemupolo and others.

The agency made the revelations in a counter-affidavit to the request for bail by Akpobolokemi. EFCC spilled the beans and told the court that rather than grant him bail, the court should order for his accelerated trial .

In the affidavit filed by EFCC investigating officer, Yinusa Abubakar, Akpobolokemi was said to have diverted billions of naira, property of NIMASA into his personal account, those of his cronies and portfolio companies.

Akpobolokemi was alleged to have persuaded the former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan through the office of National Security Adviser to approve the release of N1.24 billion on the pretence that the money was meant to bankroll the implementation of the International Ship Port Facility Security (ISPS). After the approval, Akpobolokemi, in concert with his cronies transferred the funds to the accounts of Extre Vertex Nigeria Ltd, Kofar Fada Ltd, Alkenzo Logistics Ltd,and O2 Services Plus Ltd, which in turn gave him dollars equivalent through his cronies.

He was also alleged to have fraudulently sought and obtained the approval of Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan through the same National Security Adviser for the release of N498milion being the purported cost of the implementation of VIMSAS Nigeria. Again, Akpobolokemi allegedly laundered the money through Ansta ventures,Lakewood Gardens Venture Ltd,Kofar Fada Nigeria Ltd,which in turn converted the money to Dollars and delivered same to him.

Other frauds alleged to have been perpetrated by Akpobolokemi include the payment of N132.6 million between 2012 and 2015 to Global West Vessel Specialist Ltd, contrary to the agreement between the two parties.

The money was taken from the sea protection levy generated by NIMASA.
On the 23rd of May 2013 and 20th of August 213 he fraudulently received N200 million through a company called Odimiri Eletricals Ltd with UBA account number 1002345863 opened and operated by him and one Kime Engozu

Mr Abubakar averred further that in another grand conspiracy with the management of Mieka Dive company, the company obtained by false pretence the sum of N11.94billion from NIMASA on the pretence that the said money represented part payment for the acquisition of a property situated at Kunute Okerenkoko Warri South,Delta State. The property was said to be free from encumbrances and owned by Mieka Dive.

Out of the sum paid to Mieka Training institute by NIMASA,the company between 2nd of December,2014,and 23rd February,2015 transferred N5,400,000,000. to Oyeinteke Global Network Nigeria Ltd account number 1018325345 domiciled with UBA. Oyenteke Global Network is owned by Kime Engozu,his close associate.

The sum of N3,900,000,000. out of N5,400,000,000,paid to the company was in turn transferred to the account of companies belonging to the cronies of the former NIMASA boss as follows:

* Bolobolere Properties Estate Ltd. with account number 1013983247 domiciled with Zenith bank Plc N900,000,000.

*Gokia Marine Oil and Gas limited with account number 1771258695 domiciled with Skye bank Plc. N200million.

*Wabod Global Resources Ltd. account number 1018826127 domiciled with United Bank for Africa (UBA)-N2,800,000,000

Out of the sum of N3,133,471,886.29 transferred to Bolobolere Properties and Estate limited the sum of N982,196,000. was used to acquire buildings and landed properties at Banana Island while his relations and companies received the sum of N56,800,000 shared as follows:

*Dat-Pegip Nigeria Ltd- N6,800.000

* Akpobolokemi Julius N20million

*Watershed Associates resources company N30,million.

Out of the sum transferred to Wabod Global Resources the sum of N300million was used to acquire properties at Banana Island while his relations received N15,100,000

*Akpobolokemi Victor-N4,500,000

*Akpobolokemi Emmanuel Ebizimo-N5million

*Akpobolokemi Clement-N600,000.

A front company for his wife Benemo Ltd also received N15million.

Out of money paid into the account of Gokaid Marine Oil and Gas Company account in Skye bank his relations, Akpobolokemi Victor received N10million while his wife ,Beauty Timi received N1,700,000. Timi Beauty also got N3million from Mieka Dive Ltd.

Abubakar also averred that Patrick Akpobolokemi whilst being the Director General of NIMASA, in a grand conspiracy with the other co-accused persons without the mandatory approval of the accountant General of the Federation opened accounts numbers 0688939609 and 006055559139 at Access Bank in the name of committee on intelligence and committee on ISPS respectively.

Upon opening the said accounts, N1.153 billion was transferred to them, but the money was converted by the former NIMASA boss and other co-accused persons for their personal use.

In a desperate bid to succeed in converting the said sum, he and his cronies forged various documents to the finance and Administration Department of NIMASA,but the purported makers of the document have denied issuing the Documents.

Currently,three criminal charges have been filed against Akpobolokemi and other co-accused persons including about seven companies alleged to have been involved in conversion of billions of Naira.

Akpobolokemi has been arraigned in respect of two charges number FHC/496C/15 pending before Justice Saliu Saidu and FHC/511C/15 before Justice Ibrahim Buba, while he is yet to be arraigned in respect of charge FHC/L/553C/15 pending before Justice Ibrahim Buba because one of the principal co-accused in the charge, Government Ekpemupolo,alias TOMPOLO is yet to be apprehended.

However Justice Buba has adjourned till tomorrow for the accused persons to be arraigned.

[b]How do Gej and other PDP members sleep at night with all these massive looting they supervised for so long? Instead of defending the country's treasury from political wolves, Jonathan turned a blind eye to their activities while deceiving the citizens that he will fight corruption with technology as if the technology will not be operated by these same corrupt thieves flocking around him. Jonathan is worse than cancer. Wicked thief from OTUOKE. Shame on him and his followers for defending this daylight robbery of the Nigerian treasury.
Sometimes, I wish buhari can just suspend the constitution to enable him have unchecked powers to jail and execute these thieves who are screaming rule of law after commiting several crimes against humanity and looting the country blind. Democracy is indeed an enemy of our national progress and developments because its gives corrupt politicians the chance to thrive and delays their prosecution because they can buy court judgements at will and hide under the rule of law. GEJ and his goons shall never escape karma for inflicting so much damage on our beloved country. I hope the buhari locks them up and throw away the keys like he did to that biafraudster called Nnamdi Kanu [/b]

Oju ole re. Ori ESE were o bu se Ogun ijowo lo pade ti ologbon . GEJ is just too dumb to be a word leader.

He decides to "take" his money because his name is Government. .
Them done thief this country dry...
GEJ sef!

Pure wickedness

God go punish Don Fortunato

Grand Family Looting while the President watched with hands akimbo.

I wish a Faster Military court can handle all these Bullshits

Hmmmmm


So thick. instead of developing the country, they turned to looting it.

Blackman mentality.

FATHER, heal our land

Hin go feel am

Whatever happened to Ayiri's case with chevron?

Or is it cause his sins has been washed away with his entrance into APC?

Tompolo is a criminal from Adam, a man that exterminates his fellow souls without hint of sympathy should not make headlines for stealing papers

Just imagine how they were exchanging Naira to dollar just so they can launder it.

Don't be surprised to see some fools still asking why the $ is currently on a free fall in the parallel market.

The heartless mofos simply created the surge in demand that has now put extraordinary pressure on our meagre reserve

Jonathan is the worst thing that ever happened to this country. We all should be thanking our stars that Jonathan was rejected at the polls else Nigeria would've been fed to the dogs.

Chai, Jonathan! Never never again!


As for the wailers and the 'Jonathan, my hero' dunce heads, may God handle una lives like Jonathan handled Nigeria. ..

No wonder he was re-bundled into a waiting bus the other day at the High Court. Something should be done about this slow trial process. We keep hearing looted Billions & Trillions everyday, I need to start hearing that Mr A has been sentenced to 30years imprisonment for looting billions and so on. It'll soon be a year of PMB in office & none of these high profile thieves has been sentenced by a Court.

Some people don't even deserve to be heard in court, just give them two options... Return the funds or be tied behind a bus and dragged from abuja to Lagos. I will keep saying it, if all the funds stollen/borrowed/disappeared under the clueless Ph.D. Holder's regime are recovered the whole 4 years budget of Buhari could be gotten from it without touching a dime from money generated in other sectors.

Nna eh, our money don finish oo.. These ppl really shared our money...





Check my signature for your breathtaking wallpapers and 3D wall panels, floors, ceilings and wooden blinds & floors..

Speechless.....! This revelation is mind bugging and pathetic.
I weep for my dear country most especially for those misguided and parochial elements that come here to spill 'human rights in rule of law'.
An individual who do not considered the collective rights to common patrimony, but rather choose to loot with a careless abandon does not deserve a right in the law. PERIOD!

If GEJ is a 'good man' as portrayed by his irrational supporters he should have at least be remorseful for his misrule and be courageous to apologise to Nigerians for his clueless reign that have lead us to this state.

These people steal from and claim to be fighting for the common niger deltans. But don't be surprised that even if the Niger deltans don't make noise about it, the people from that side will come out to defend them.

Any judge that grant bail to this man enh, I can't wish anybody death but he should face something close to death, how do we gt to this level of impunity



We're in this state today because we focus more on wealth, status, beauty & titles. We've put integrity, humility, kindness & empathy aside!


How do they sleep at night hmmmmmmmm

Why would the Naira not fall when the system was dollarized. EFCC provided bank names and account numbers, those whose favourite chorus is 'witch hunting' should do investigative journalism and find out if those accounts did exist or just the imagination of EFCC!

The Ipod touts

ooo

If I were Pmb,I would do the same thing that was done in Ghana years back,some of these people deserve to be poisoned during their meeting and let them go to their house and die,or maybe their hotel room,or better still sentenced them to 100years imprisonment. Gej was asleep when he issued out the money am sure of that.

Imagine, they now steal billions like thousands under Jonathan's nose and someone will tell me he wasn't Involved. Why is GEJ still having immunity to be questioned by EFCC?

Just see as the monies involved no let me pronounce! Honestly I feel sad. And to think of the fact that I supported PDP last time!

Costa + Oscar + William =
What Will That Be?

Why did I book space sef?!

The most impressive thing about this Magu led efcc is that they are detailed and thorough in their investigations.
They don’t just jump into a case for the sake of it, they did their homework meticulously before going for the goon, that's why they have overcome most of those legal technicalities that has slowed judicial processes in the time past.
Their job so far is commendable.

Walahi Johnny boy don finish ds country...sometimes i wonder wetin him dey do with computer in front of him for his office..all na demo,,he doesn't know jack.

Propaganda by the APC, Akpobolokemi is Our Hero~ IPOB Youths.

When a man like Tompolo recommends a non-entity to the President to be the DG of a revenue-generating agency, you know the pillaging of NIMASA is already over before it even started. Akpobolokemi answered to no one and had direct access to Jonathan so nobody could touch him. Akpobolokemi and his godfather,Tompolo turned NIMASA into their personal company and looted the whole place clean.

Let the man face the consequences of his actions. If that judge grants him bail today,I'm sure Magu has another arrest waiting for him.
