Determined to recover the cash realized from the sale of 61 assets traced to a former Chief Executive Officer of the defunct Oceanic Bank, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has written to the National Crime Agency (NCA) in the United Kingdom to probe some suspects.

Besides, the anti-graft commission has identified two accounts in which the proceeds of the sale are suspected to have been deposited.

The accounts in Natwest Bank are 64535088(Sort Code 515001) and 77898583(Sort Code 50310) in a branch of the bank in Kensington Royal Garden.

About $112,000 was purportedly traced to account 64535088; about $209,000 was reportedly found in the second account.

The EFCC traced 61 assets to, including 41 shops, 16 mansions and four Park Towers, in Dubai.

Although all the properties were confiscated, their sale has been trailed with a fresh controversy because about $4,522,413.20 has remained unaccounted for in the last seven years.

Out of over $7million purportedly realised from the disposal of the properties, the Assets Management Corporation of Nigeria( AMCON) received $3,278,238.69 .

A UK-based counsel, Mr. Williams Akintunde Oluwaseun, who handled the sale, insisted that only $4,406, 826.63 was realised.

But he has not accounted for the $1, 128,587.94 difference in what he remitted to AMCON.

The EFCC has written to NCA to “assist in the full scale investigation of the activities of some people and the laundering of the proceeds of Dubai portfolios”.

A source said: “The EFCC has located various sums of money wired from the proceeds into some accounts in Nigeria, the UK and Dubai, among others. We need the NCA to help track down the beneficiaries and probe their accounts. Two accounts have been located in Natwest Bank in the UK. They are 64535088 (Sort Code 515001) and 77898583 (Sort Code 50310) in a branch of the bank in Kensington Royal Garden.

“Some of the proceeds were lodged in third party accounts. Our detectives uncovered the re-looting of the proceeds by some of those under investigation. Most of these inflows went to individuals and companies

“The ongoing collaboration with NCA will no doubt help us in bringing some suspects to justice and facilitate the recovery of the missing $4.5million proceeds.”

The source also claimed that six of the properties were sold in dollars but payment was effected in Naira to AMCON.

“The six properties were sold for N315million but only N100million was paid to AMCON. Detectives are looking at what informed payment to AMCON in Naira when the assets were bought in dollars.

“Also, the whereabouts of N215million balance is unknown to date. This is why we are investigating all the desk officers in AMCON, companies and the counsel connected with the sale of these 61 assets.

“We may be forced to declare some of the suspects wanted if they do not respond to our invitation for questioning.”

The source alleged that four properties, which were yet to be retrieved, were still suspected to be in Dubai.

The assets were developed by a company called DAMAC in Dubai. “We are seeking the assistance of the UAE Government to retrieve them back. The company is claiming that it can only release the assets if Mrs. Ibru and other owners can sign the power of attorney to release them to the Federal Government,” the source added.

Justice Daniel Abutu of the Federal High Court in Lagos on October 9, 2010 convicted and sentenced Mrs. Ibru to 18 months imprisonment.

He ordered that Mrs Ibru should forfeit N191billion worth of assets to the Federal Government through AMCON.

The assets to forfeit include properties in Nigeria, United States and Dubai.

She was also ordered to forfeit shares in over 100 firms both listed and unlisted at the Nigerian Stock Exchange.

There is no hiding place for the looters. There will be no respite for the wicked and their supporters.

A gold fish has no hiding place.

Anything stolen from us must be returned

Even after 2023. May thunder fire all corrupt Nigerian leaders and politicians.

I am not against the persistent news of looter's trace: my issue is how many have faced trials, jailed or meant to face the law? None! And I read news like this everyday.

Abge make dem stop to dey engage our relief or probably political happiness with unrealistic juice. Nonsense!

What is Sarrki ( A. K. A. Deji17 ) ranting about?

Many looters are currently in court facing trials. Asking the President to jail people is undemocratic. There is separation of powers. Court cases take time and its like that in most part of the world. Nigeria case is worsened due to the large number of the court cases and the large number of looters being dragged to court.Their conviction will happen. What you cannot deny is the assets recovery. Conviction too will follow. The naysayers will still have something to whine about then

This is a cecilia ibru case whom was convicted in 2010 by pdp.

Hmmmm.. Good news to wake up to. Meanwhile follow my signature if you love animation videos and would like to start earning from it.

And he said we are lazy. Are we supposed to wake up and be digging gutters to prove we are ready to work? oh...these hard working looters...

As a citizen what role have you played in ensuring that the looters are jailed? Don't you think protest a tool to achieve that?

WHY WRITE TO UK FOR ASSETS IN DUBAI, WHY NOT WRITE TO UAE GOVT.

2016v2017:

if buratai is not included, they are not serious

Gbam!

I will only believe this Buhari anti-corruption fight when people like Buratai, Rotimi Amechi, Kayode fayemi, Ayo Oke, Babachir Lawal,Obanikoro, Tinubu and other APC saint looters are included in that yeye looters list.




ALL PROGRESSIVE CRIMINALS (APC)

Hope Brutai own is among

Some APC looters have ill gotten properties back home.Eg,tinubu.But he has been sponsoring APC politicians,including buhari's electioneering campaign.So he is being treated like a sacred cow.

Hope one army Chiefs Dubai's properties are among

Anoda headache for looters abs their supporters ... I think I av the right to comment and I will love to thank MAGU and buari for making move on corrupt politician ....



Sai baba

Sai magu

Sai Nigeria

If buratai's name is not there. The list is fake.

Sometimes when i read storie like this i feel happy and sometimes i feel bad, cos the last time i checked Abacha loot that was returned is about to be relooted again.

Nigeria is just a joke stage where all this funny and wicked pliticians come up to diaplay their wickedness.

All we need is our money.
