Barely 24 hours after news broke that the EFCC has frozen the personal account of Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, former Akwa Ibom State Governor and Senate Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio who is currently being investigated by the EFCC over allegations of embezzlement of public funds and looting of over #2.7 trillion from the coffers of the Akwa Ibom State Government hurriedly withdrew #17.4 billion from his bank accounts.

The withdrawals were made simultaneously in Abuja, Lagos and Uyo the Akwa Ibom State capital. The money were withdrawn from Akpabio’s account in Zenith, Stanbic IBTC and GTB. An aide of the Secretary to the Akwa Ibom State Government (SSG) coordinated the Uyo withdrawal, an associate of the former Governor handled the Lagos withdrawals while a senior legislative aide at the office of the Senate Minority Leader took charge of the Abuja withdrawals. Investigation by our reporter reveals the withdrawals were done within a period of four hours.

Also, fear, panic, anxiety and apprehension was visible in Ukana, Akpabio’s ancestral hometown as an emergency meeting of Akpabio’s immediate family was summoned secretly on Tuesday night at the Ukana country home of Senator Akpabio, just hours upon receiving the news of the freezing of the bank account of the Governor of Ekiti State. Sources privy to the meeting confided in our reporter that the likelihood of the EFCC freezing the accounts of other members of the Akpabio dynasty was also discussed.

A visibly shaken family member was alleged to have faulted Akpabio’s call for the immunity clause to be extended to principal members of the National Assembly, insisting that apart from compelling the anti graft agencies to beam more searchlight on Akpabio, his advocacy is capable of instigating a more aggressive investigation on the finances of Akwa Ibom State from 2007-2015, especially coming at a time Akpabio’s former finance commissioner and colleague in the Senate, Senator Bassey Albert is also asking for amnesty to all who have looted the state treasury.

A cousin to the Senate Minority Leader who benefitted from several contracts running into billions of Naira when Akpabio was Governor was said to have been cold and sober all through the meeting and hurriedly cancelled his trip to Dubai. He was initially billed to travel to the emirate country with his family. The meeting which lasted for more than three hours was also attended by a regional manager of one of the new generation banks in Uyo.

Buhari will destroy this country. Wealthy Nigerians with perceived fear will start withdrawing their money and before you know it banks are out of cash; no liquidity in the market, no money to loan out, and they will fold up. When ordinary folks like us come to withdraw our money, banks will start rationing withdrawals like Venezuela and Greece. Buhari...stop this unnecessary hit on the polity; we already have enough problems at hand.

Lies.

akpabio hands are nt clean bt i doubt if its possible to withdraw a huge amount runnin into billions ib one day witout efcc and cbn knowing.come up wit anoda story pls

Now the Niger Delta Avengers if truly they are concerned about the common man should know where to direct their fight to. Niger Delta leaders...

For those of you saying it's a lie, I just pity you that's all I'll say for now.

You keep crying and wailing everyday about the economy and at the same time supporting people who are destroying the economy; is that not foolishness? Continue wailing....

Your ignorance stinks! How did Akpabio become a billionaire if not a trillionnaire?

Does he have an industry? What does he do for a living?

Please don't make that silly mistake of adding thieves to hardworking wealthy people. Why should anyone fear if your wealthy is clean and you can prove it?

yorubaa brain...hypocrisy. How did Buhari become a billionaire to own 4 billion worth of House in Abuja? How did Buhari afford to pay his children school fees in London worth over 50,000 pounds per a person per semester? How did Tinubu become a billionaire? Dull thing!

i tink ur d one showing ur ignorance.well i rest my case cos i wont argue wit sumone who doesnt understand simple explanation

Truth be told, if I also have a similar amount of money in the bank, with the current trend I will do same.

This though will negatively affect the economy, I.e. when large sums of money are redrawn. Other politicians will follow suit.

EFCC should take baby steps, so that Nigeria doesn't die in the process of "fighting corruption".

No honest man will ever tremble that Hus money is unsafe in the banks. It is the guilty that are afraid.

Is Buhari a billionaire? I didn't know that! Tell me more.

Do you know how many middle class parents in Nigeria whose children school abroad?

Your comparison shows you lack simple analysis. Studying abroad is no big deal!

Don't mind them! Nigerians are corrupt that's why! Most of their wealth is not from a legal source that's why they are all afraid!

Buhari said he was going to fight corruption and that's what he is doing!

Akpabio doesn't have a single industry meaning he is not employing anyone and iI can bet you those supporting him are still looking for jobs and happy that he has billions without providing jobs for them. Ignorant youths

yes, you will do same if you've been piling up stolen money in your account. If no stolen money can be traced to your account, nobody will freeze it.
Last time I checked, dangote and adenuga still have their money intact in the banks

Any Nigerian politician that steal money from his people will ever have peace of mind....
May their children become more useless to them as they have made Nigerian children
May they never find peace and happiness until they return all they stole

My there life never know happiness

This is the prayers I need from pastors every day

Like to say amen
