Stella Oduah, former minister of aviation

Senator Stella Oduah representing Anambra North
senatorial district has refuted claims that she
allegedly opened N2.5 billion account in her maid’s
name.

It was reported that the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC) are of the view that a bank
account opened by Stella Oduah contained allegedly
stolen N2.5billion.

Media also reports that the account was opened
without the knowledge of the maid to prevent
anybody from knowing she was the real owner of the
huge sum of money.

Oduah who reacted to these claims described it as
“another malicious and fictitious rumour.”
“We will like to state unequivocally that this report is
totally false, baseless and at best the imagination of
the platform who is only set out to extort and
blackmail leaders in its continuous attempt by their
paymasters to break the rank of Senators of the 8th
Assembly.

“Over the past few months, the once respected online
platform, Sahara Reporters has continued to surpass
itself by continuously sinking to an all time low of
posting uncorroborated reports to mislead Nigerians
to promote the agenda of certain elements who’s fight
against corruption can only been seen on pages of
newspaper and pockets of their media spinners while
millions of Nigerians remain unemployed and hundreds
of thousands of kids go to bed hungry day in day out.

“The online platform claimed their sources in EFCC
said a whopping 5.6 billion must have been stolen, then
went further to contradict itself that the agency had
determined it was 3.6 Billion then again reduced it to
2.5 billion in the same publication,” she said.

The senator further went to challenge if truly such
account exists as claimed by the online platform and it
is still operational and she not the so called housemaid
have not been called in for questioning when the
agency is freezing accounts and going after opposition
governors who enjoy same level of immunity as the
president.

Oduah who made a name for herself during her tenure
as Minister of Aviation reiterated that at no time did
she ask or try to meet with the EFCC Chairman,
Ibrahim Lamorde.

She is currently in her constituency thanked her
supporters and well wishers who have reached out to
vent their frustrations assured them that there is
nothing to worry about.

However, she restated that no such accounts exist
and challenged Sahara reporters to present details of
their funding and how the platform is able to afford a
property in choice area of Maitama in Abuja.

Meanwhile, one of the anti-graft sources revealed
that the discovery of the “housemaid’s” account is an
indication that Ms Oduah could have laundered as much
as N5.6 billion so far from the aviation ministry’s
budget during her time as minister.

Moreso, initial findings revealed that the ex-female
minister was the only single signatory to the account,
as The Nation learnt on Saturday, July 2.

Sahara is not a Minister, it can own houses in Oslo.

bakila:

while you live in your mother's.

BiafranNigerian:
while you live in your mother's.

Again Sahara is not a Minister. A Minister is bound by the rules of his/her office. Sahara has exposed a thieving Minister and you are busy calling my Mother.
Since you don't know yours because you found yourself in gutter at 3 days of age, do find her. If you succeed she will out of guilt teach you manners.
