It is no longer news that the tenure of Dr. Ade Dosunmu as the Director-General of Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) ended on a sour note with the series of crises that characterised his tenure before he was booted out of office. But what many people didn`t know is the fact that the former Director-General who is now one of the Peoples Democratic Party gubernatorial aspirants in Lagos State soiled his hands with the funds of the agency which was said to be in the region of N300m.

It was gathered that Dosunmu who rose to the post of Director—General of NIMASA was said to have dipped his hands into the coffers of the Agency and before one could say Dosunmu the money had gone up to high heavens. This bothered those who were in the know as to what and how it actually happened.

What baffled so many people was that when the Saraki Senate Committee on Maritime

Transport which probed the fraud invited Ade Dosunmu over his involvement in the scandal, he was alleged not to have said anything tangible as per how the millions developed wings and flew away from the purse of the Agency.

Also, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on September 20th of July 2009 interrogated Dr. Ade Dosunmu for about four hours over alleged fraud, gathered that the grilling followed petitions to the EFCC by some Maritime stakeholders over the alleged award of fictitious contracts. Further learnt that the petitioners based their claims on the report of the House of Representatives Committee on Anti-Corruption, National Ethics and values which confirmed over N10 billion fraud in the Agency while Dosunmu was in charge. The Committee, headed by Alhaji Sabo Nakudu, had probed the Agency in December of 2009.

Earlier, the Senate Committee on Maritime Transport had threatened not to approve this year`s budget proposal for NIMASA because of the Agency`s inability to justify last year`s budget. Though, Dosunmu told the EFCC in his statement that he did not steal NIMASA`s fund while in office and that he discharged his duties creditably. Right now Dosunmu is one of the big spenders among the gubernatorial candidates of the PDP in Lagos State who are ready to pay the alleged N100m bribe being demanded by the party elders and was alleged to have budgeted N500m to prosecute the party`s primaries.
