I was of the opinion that the cash was a theatric by EFCC, I might be wrong but I will wait for OFFICIAL REPORT and outcome of the investigation before making further comment.

As usual, I don't make brief for individuals when it comes to corruption

Tonye baba!!!! oya lock ursef inside room for 3days and write one of ur missives... iranu!


Let us all shun favouritism and do things with patriotism, slowly but steadily we will get things right if only we can uphold nationalist views and reduce our social media false activity. Do something that can later affect the economy and society positively (even if it'll take a decade before it can come to fruition), not do paper soldier and ethnic bigotry on twitter, facebook, nairaland and all.

We owe the next generation some soft-landing at the least!

The only thing I know is GEJ is alive and is in best position to clear this mess up. you are not in the best position to defend him. I believe by now his media adviser should have released a statement by now

Bunch of eediots. Even if they are using your destiny to play Candy crush. There should be limit to which you load 100naira airtime to defend billion naira theft.

When a sitting President opens his mouth on an international Television and say 'Stealing is not corruption' what do you expect? I am so grateful to God that these rogues never won the election, only God knows where the economy of my country will be by now.
They were only all concern about their selfish selves and family and never care about the masses and the ones supporting them with hunger! And imagine this man was borrowing millions of dollars to buy ammunition to fight insurgency...
And for the wailers that will wail forever supporting Jona and his gang of thieves, I really pity you all, where are those saying the money belongs to Amaechi?

$43 million dollars = #13 billion naira
$289 million dollars = (someone pls help me with the naira equivalent, my calculator just exploded!!!)
And this was mismanaged/stolen in just one Agency!!
Possibly over $1 Billion Dollars must have been stolen during the years Oga Jona was hot!
And some dumb people wonder why we are in recession!

GEJ as president had every authority to approve money for an agency.

So, are Buhari's men that took over from May 2015 telling us that NIA did not return the unspent money back to FG at the end of 2015 and even 2016? or was it GEJ's responsibility again to enforce that even after leaving office?

Buhari and his APC strategists are desperate to cover-up this matter.

The problem is that THE CURRENT PRESIDENT WAS NOT BRIEFED ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF THESE CASH THAT WHERE GIVING OUT BY EX PRESIDENT JONATHAN HOW IN THIS WORLD IS HE SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT? ARE PRESIDENTS SUPPOSED TO BE MIND READERS? they didn't brief him because they had intent to commit fraud and again Government money shouldn't be stored in private properties, and he registered the house in his wife's name, are you telling me he doesn't have a name? lmfaooo.

2) someone that has the gut to loot over 1 billion dollars, are you expecting him to being change? or please enlighten me better.

GEJ approved money for covert operations and 'Amaechi' has used it to 'buy' a house and to store GEJ approved money! FFK, Fayose, Ozekhome,Wike and co - Please help to resolve this riddle or forever shut your lying tongues!

You expect the balance from an illegal cash deal that was meant for elections (campaigning and bribing) to be returned to the FG? Are you for real?

Philinho:
if he ordered d release of d fund,did he ordered you to stalk d money too? fools commenting nonsense without investigating d second party

please how old are you? because you think like an infant. if Jonathan ordered the release of such money, is he not suppose to monitor how it is spent, THAT IS WHAT BEING A LEADER MEANS.

Even with this admission the supporters of that EX will still claim it is all lie and propanganda.

Their leaders have locked up their thinking.

OBJ may have his good part but the man must admit and be repentant for imposing grossly incompetent and sometimes very corrupt and morally bankrupt leaders on Nigeria.

Some leaders of PDP were so mean to that extent that they would not stop in destroying Nigeria by stealing it black and blue just for an election.

For all the money to have been released in cash meant they are used for some wuruwuru job. NIA ought to have an account with the CBN where the money will be transferred to and drawn from. Deji has said the truth.

magoo10:
when this incompetent govt continue to fail Nigerians back to back and have no explanations for their gullible supporters they remember there is a Jonathan somewhere who can make an interesting story to turn away the guplible minds from the realities of their failure.
Is yemi osibanjo now the efcc chairman?
Is this case not a financial crime and why is the efcc and icpc which are the agency mandated by the constitution to handle financial crime not the ones handling this financial crime against lawal and oke.
this clueless incompetent govt and its gullible supporters should know that Nigerians are wiser than all this their shenanigans, it is mere crap.

how I wish I have a power that I would be able to detect people that love corrupt leaders, pack them all in a small nation like togo then make Goodluck Ebele Jonathan(GEJ) as them president for 100 century so he and his generation could loot you and your think-alike fellow destiny out

Who else could have ordered such an amount of money for nothing if not the hero of the land of the rising sun? Ineffectual Buffon himself!!!!

When you talk try to make some sense,it is 2years now and Jonathan is still giving you sleepless nights.
see you and your saints in power .a man who was sponsored by the billions stolen by amaechi from rivers state govt is a very big thief.and I could name so many of them.show me your friends and I will tell you who you are.
You are living in delusion boy

OLAJADON:

Kindly ignore him. He surely needs to defend his hero even when he has been browsing on borrowed "GLO" data.

Nigerians are not interested if Jonathan approved any money or not but the question is "who is the real owner of the cash found in the ikoyi apartment?" how does a residence rented with different name turns into NIA safe?
There was stamp on the monies dated "APRIL 2016" how does money being approved by Jonathan released in 2016?
Seeing that money even a mad man that have his valid ssce certificate(not forge) will know that it has just being released. What is the mystery nd who released it since CBN have denied releasing such huge amount of money?
If it is part of dasukigate why haven't EFCC harrest the owner just like they harrest other suspects in connection to dasukigate?
DON'T FORGET THAT BUHARI WAS ABACHA'S LOYALIST WHO SAID IN 2004 DURING THE REMEMBRANCE OF ABACHA THAT "ABACHA DID NOT LOOT A DIME OF THIS NATION"

How can you call it a fact ?Who is your source?You get an information from an unnamed person and you are calling it a fact.Fani Kayode and Lere(known persons)mentioned Amaechi name.Am waiting for a human being to mention Jonathan name then we can now ask Jonathan to react.For now, I will advise Jonathan to remain silent until someone(not Mr Source) is bold enough to mention his name.

seunmsg:


The fact that GEJ gave approval for such a huge and unbudgeted amount of money to be withdrawn in cash and spend within the country should make any reasonable Nigerian very angry. Apart from the corruption involved, the negative effect on the Naira and our economy is unimaginable.

Nigerians can now see why the Naira practically collapsed when Buhari took over. Jonathan dipped his rotten and corruption infected fingers straight into CBN and depleted the foreign reserve in a desperate attempt to win the election. Only God can adequately punish that guy for what he did to this country.

Stamp dated 2016 - Does anyone has any official source for this information? If not, let us have some quiet on this, afterall, the man whokept the money there has spoken and has given the date the money was shipped there. Has he lied against himself?

No wonder Adeyanju just vex dey cuss d man for twitter!

PDP released a statement earlier saying the dismissed SGF should have been "arrested" if the government wanted to show any sincerity in her intentions over the grasscuter.

Jonathan's name has come up s gazillion times in virtually all known criminal incidents under his government: when would the bat-faced two timing fvcktards call for Jonathan's arrest?

If you really love this country you'll ask thesame thing but if you're worshipping someone who may not have common certificate to defend himself not to talk of you it's shameful.
Houses of judges were raided,the judges were suspended and detained No Panel, are you aware?
Oliseh metuh was harrest and detained No Panel? Were you sleeping?
Dame patience's account was frozen NO panel, were you on hospital bed ?
Mike ozhekomes legal fee account was frozen, No panel,were you still in your mother's womb
Now that NIA DG and SGF in Conived with some Big Govt People PANEL HAVE NOW BEING SET.To indict the most educated nigerian president so far and world hero of democracy.
A judge accused amaechi of trying to bribe him was their any panel?
WIKE FORMALLY REQUESTED FOR THE PANEL HAS HE BEING INVITED?

Celcius:
The suspended Director - General of the National Intelligence Agency , Amb . Ayodele Oke, has met with Vice- President Yemi Osinbajo, where he admitted that his agency received the sum of $ 289 , 202 , 382 on the orders of former President Goodluck Jonathan in February 2015 .

President Muhammadu Buhari , on Wednesday , ordered the suspension of Oke over the role of the NIA in the ownership of $ 43 m ( about N13 bn) and other currencies uncovered in Osborne Towers , Ikoyi, Lagos.

Buhari also ordered the suspension of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation , Mr . Babachir Lawal , in connection with his indictment for contract fraud by a Senate ad hoc committee on mounting humanitarian crisis in the North - East .

A top government source , on Thursday , confided in one of our correspondents that the Osinbajo- led committee had directed Oke to submit documents to back his claim.
It was learnt that the suspended NIA boss had also gathered documents which would be formally submitted to the panel showing that the transaction was approved by Jonathan through the embattled former National Security Adviser, Col . Sambo Dasuki ( retd . ) .
It was learnt that the transaction was known as an intervention fund for national security or special services with the aim of fighting insurgency during the six weeks period between February 14 , when the Presidential /National Assembly elections were postponed and March 28 , when the polls were held.
However , operatives of the EFCC are said to be working on the theory that the money was meant for the prosecution of the 2015 general elections .

A source , who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case , said , “ The DG of the NIA has met with Vice - President Osinbajo and will submit documents pertaining to the transaction .
“ The DG admitted on record that the transaction was authorised by former President Jonathan and Col. Sambo Dasuki , and as such , was simply following orders from the commander - in - chief . He will submit memos and other documents as evidence. ”

Explaining how the transaction took place , the source said a memo was raised by the National Petroleum Investment Management Service on February 25 , 2015 , two weeks after the postponement of the presidential election for ‘ security ’ reasons, based on Dasuki ’ s advice .

According to the memo, NAPIMS asked the CBN to release $ 289 , 202 , 382 to the NIA in cash .
The money was received by the NIA and kept in a safe house .

When asked why President Muhammadu Buhari was not briefed on the existence of the cash, the source said , “The DG NIA informed top security people in the government of the existence of the cash.
“ Specifically in January 2016 , a letter was written by the DG NIA to the NSA , Babagana Moguno , on the existence of the cash . The memo exists and will also be submitted to the panel. ”

It was gathered that one of the posers the NIA would solve was why the apartment , where the money was kept , was registered in the name of the wife of the DG, Mrs. Folasade Oke.

“ One question the suspended NIA boss must answer when he meets with the panel is why the apartment used for an official matter was registered in his wife ’ s name , ” the top government source said .
Efforts to get the NNPC through the Group General Manager , Corporate Affairs , Ndu Ughamadu , were not successful as his mobile indicated that it was not reachable .A detailed text message was sent to him on the matter , but he had yet to respond as of the time of filing this report on Thursday .

NAPIMS is a subsidiary of the NNPC .
Attempts to get comments from the CBN were also not successful as repeated calls made to the acting Director, Corporate Communications , CBN, Mr Isaac Okorafor , did not connect while a text message sent to him on the issue had yet to be responded to as of press time on Thursday.

Panel to invite NAPIMS , CBN officials , others
It was learnt that the Osinbajo- led panel would also invite the Governor of the CBN , Mr . Godwin Emefiele, and some directors of the apex bank to explain why such a huge sum of money was released in such a manner.
One of our correspondents also gathered that officials of NAPIMS would also be invited to explain why the money , which did not go through appropriations , was released .

EFCC to monitor airports , get warrants to search more properties.
It was learnt that the EFCC was working on the theory that more of such huge funds , belonging to the NIA, might be stashed in some secret locations .
A source told The PUNCH that the commission had obtained warrants to search more properties in urban areas of the country.
One of our correspondents learnt that the EFCC had asked sister agencies to be on the lookout at various airports to ensure that none of the affected persons was allowed to flee the country.

Senate panel expresses doubt on Osinbajo - led probe
Meanwhile , the Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Mounting Humanitarian Crisis , whose interim investigative report indicted the SGF , Lawal , has expressed doubt on the probe ordered by the Presidency .

The Chairman of the Senate panel , Senator Shehu Sani , while featuring on a breakfast programme by Television Continental , TVC Breakfast , on Thursday , said an investigation of the SGF by the Presidency could give Lawal a soft landing eventually .
He stated that the EFCC , the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission and the Nigeria Police could be asked to probe the SGF .

Sani added , “ What I am saying in this aspect is that the best institution to investigate the SGF is one recognised by the law (to carry out the task ), which is the EFCC , ICPC and the police .
“ That is why we are being very cautious in endorsing the investigation in the Presidency . What I am afraid of is soft landing, which I don ’ t think will be in the best interest of the anti - corruption crusade . ”
