Ex-nnpc Boss Andrew Drags Efcc To Court Over $9.8m £74,000 Seized From Him by Nkemakonam62: 1:49pm On Mar 03, 2017
Former Group Managing Director,GMD, of the National Nigerian Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Andrew Yakubu has dragged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, before a Federal High Court sitting in Kano over the forfeiture of $9.8m, £74,000 seized from him.

Recall that Justice Zainab Bage Abubakar of the federal high court Kano, had ordered that the $9.8 million and 74,000 pounds recovered from Yakubu be forfeited to the federal government.


EFCC had recently uncovered $9.8m, 74,000 pounds from a fire proof safe in a building linked to the former NNPC boss in Kaduna.

Counsel to Yakubu, Ahmed Raji, who confirmed the development said his client was seeking redress over the earlier forfeiture order.

Speaking through Barrister Abdulkarim Kabiru Maude, Raji said the suit against the anti-graft agency was seeking the court to vacate the forfeiture order earlier granted by Justice Zainab,

Andrew Yakubu is a Christian. Exodus 20:15 says "Thou shall not steal". Where did Andrew Yakubu get $9.8 million and £74,000 in cash from? Even if he worked as the Group Managing Director of NNPC for 30 years his legitimate salary would not be enough to keep $9.8 million and £74,000 in a house in Kaduna.

I am waiting for the day Nigerians would call a thief a thief irrespective of;

1. The village of the thief
2. The local government of the thief
3. The senatorial zone of the thief
4. The tribe of the thief
5. The religion of the thief
6. The political party of the thief
7. The administration the thief served in whether the Jonathan administration or the Buhari administration.

l disagree, NNPC and several other government corporations are haven of big time corruption, their CEO and subordinates are big time thieves, l am talking from an insider position, as long as that house belongs to him where the money was found and he admitted that it was a gift, that is enough to nail him to his coffin, the guy deserves to be flogged with chilly pepper and jailed, nonsense angry angry

The judiciary is also not helping matters, a high profile criminal like these guy will look for ways to bribe his way out by giving brown envelopes to frustrate the case with several injunctions / adjournments and delays in situations like that EFCC's hands will be tied wink

Efcc must ensure it has established a prima Facie case before making noise. It is for them to prove beyond doubt corruption case.
