Alleged N3.1bn Fraud: Another Minister Sneaks Out Of Nigeria by Marvellouzkk(f): 9:53am On Mar 22, 2016 |

ABUJA - As operatives of the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC,
move to unveil the beneficiaries of the
N3.1 billion withdrawn from the account
of the National Security Adviser in the
Central Bank of Nigeria for political
campaign, one of the recipients of the
cash bonanza has slipped out of the
country.
Sources at the anti-graft agency said last
night that the former minister, who hails
from one of the South-East states,
sneaked out of Nigeria just before the
EFCC blew the lid on the huge cash
withdrawal.
The former minister, who is believed to
have collected as much as N350 million
of the cash, left for a European nation
just before the information on the six
key Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
chieftains, who drew the cash was made
open by the anti-graft agency last week.
But a source close to the former minister
defended her, claiming that she left the
country two weeks ago for the foreign
country without prejudice to the cash or
investigation by the EFCC.
"Madam has, however, been informed of
the amount of money she is said to have
received from the ONSA for political
campaign but she is not in Nigeria as we
speak.
"The woman has been informed of what
the anti-graft agency has said about her
but we don't know when she will return
to Nigeria," a close aide of the former
minister said yesterday.
Of the N3.1 billion cash withdrawn from
the CBN on the instruction of the
embattled former NSA, a former
minister collected N840 million, leaving
the balance to be shared by five other
party chieftains.
Last Sunday, another former female
minister who reportedly provided the
account into which the cash was paid
and actually disbursed the money, left
Nigeria and is yet to return.
A source said that although most of the
beneficiaries claimed they had the
permission of the former President to
collect the cash to campaign for him, the
President might not have had any
knowledge of such transactions. |

kingbasil: This is your first answer Ehiscotch: Then my answer to you is , even if the news is sourceless it made FP earlier where i mentioned it was Iweala and sons , so even if the op's information has no source, it is plausible that they will start sneaking out of the country after all no names were mentioned, just like the previous report said it was a former minister and no names were mentioned Use common sense |
