Buhari Asks EFCC To Investigate Amaechi Over $757 Million Theft
President Mohammadu Buhari has secretly asked the leadership of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to immediately investigate and prosecute a former governor of Rivers State who is also the Minister for Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, over the $757 million (N80 billion Naira) that was allegedly found in his Bancorp Bank account in the United States of America.
It would be recalled that Mr. Rotimi Amaechi recently wrote to Bancorp Bank in Minnesota in the United States and claimed that the said $757 million Dollars domiciled in an account in his name was authorized by him in error from a Rivers State Government Account with Access Bank Plc.
But a source at the Presidency told Nigerian Concord Newspapers that President Buhari had personally called Amaechi several times to explain his roles In the alleged laundering.
According to the source, Mr. Amaechi’s explanation didn’t go down well with Buhari who vowed to ensure that he gets to the truth of the matter.
It was gathered that the president this morning instructed the EFCC’s chairman, Mr. Magu, to secretly investigate Amaechi’s role and bring him to justice immediately his involvement is confirmed.
Buhari’s action was a follow up to a letter that the bank wrote to the Presidency that it was ready to repatriate the said funds to Nigeria.
Buhari, it was gathered, is very angry with the Transportation Minister for lying in his two letters to the US bank another bank in Switzerland that all the monies found in his foreign accounts in the two countries were transferred in error from a Rivers State government account with Access Bank while he was governor of the state.
Amaechi’s letter to the US bank stated that the said transfers to both banks were for the purchase of security Helicopters, payments to a foreign company to combat malaria in Rivers state by using helicopters to spray mosquito insecticides, and for the purchase of an official residence for Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, in America.
The letter further explains that the payments for the security helicopters, and mosquito insecticides to fight malaria were made through other sources, after the funds had already been transferred abroad.
It also reminds the bank that the Rivers state law on his severance package, provides for an official residence for a former governor; of which he chose to have his residence in America.
Amaechi said that, this law was later amended to have his official residence built in Nigeria, after the funds had already been transferred to his Bancorp Bank account.
Mr. Amaechi said these changes were the reasons he communicated the consultants for purchase of security helicopters, his official residence in the U.S and the Insecticide companies not to access the funds; since they have been paid through other sources.

And we're reading it on nairaland.....

I hope the story is true and he is prosecuted if found guilty. No point investigating if it'll lead to nowhere.

But kudos to the President.

Please IPOB yoots, remind us again how many people your "hero of democrazy" investigated not to mention prosecute for corruption in his 5 clueless years?

I will take them or the news serious when the man is treated like Dasuki, Olisha Metu etc.

actually he belongs to everybody and to nobody

Secret investigation? Indeed! Still I expect him to be the first dumbo to be hit. Watching and observing...

Source tho...

Interesting development if true!

abujareuters.com.ng

very fake news

But a source at the Presidency told Nigerian Concord Newspapers that President Buhari had personally called Amaechi several times to explain his roles In the alleged laundering.


Nigeria Concord... Isorait.

Secretly

Does concord news paper still exist?

Why is investigation going on in secrecy?

Ok no problem as long as FAYOSE is the chairman of this newspaper.

Hogwash..

Buhari can't. ...

Observing with binoculars. I hope this is true.

That will be the beginning of the end for Buhari.

Remember Amaechi is preparing for the El rufai/Amaechi ticket 2019

Prosecute!!! See Until I begin to see Ameachi been passed thru d same procedure dat made Metuh to return his own loot in d hands of Efcc, den I wuld believe, If nt, dis is jst all propaganda on Paper!!!

STORY for the gods!

Zombie story.

No be only Abujareuters na Otuochareuters.

If you expect Amaechi to go down while burattai will walk is like being in a dream state and at the same time being in the garden of Eden.

ur afonjaism is second to none. I pity children like u bc they don't hv any hope.

Sack him first, dullard

I can't believe this mehn

Radio Without Battery

And who do they think they will deceive with this bullshit?
When did the EFCC start secret investigation?
Why didn't the EFCC secretly investigate Dasuki, Metuh, FFK and other known opposition figure who have been disgraced and clamped down into detention on allegation of corruption?

They accuse Jonathan of corruption forgetting that he who shields another from corruption is also corrupt if not more corrupt. Buratai was accused but Buhari turned a blind eye, Danbazau was accused, same Buhari turned a blind eye now Amaechi is being investigated secretly.
Hahahahaha we ain't all stupid here.
