EFCC Secures Final Forfeiture Of ₦‎775 Million Linked To Jonah Otunla by Racoon(m): 11:29pm On Nov 21, 2022
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it has secured the final forfeiture of N775 million and landed properties linked to two former government officials.

The officials are listed as Jonah Otunla, a former accountant-general of the federation, and Bello Fadile, an aide to Sambo Dasuki, former national security adviser (NSA).

The EFCC had, in 2017, filed money laundering charges against Otunla and Fadile, alleging that they were among beneficiaries of N2 billion received illegally from the office of the NSA in 2013.


In a statement on Monday, Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC spokesman, said the forfeiture of the money and landed proterties was granted by D.U. Okorowo, a judge of a federal high court sitting in Abuja.

The commission listed the other properties forfeited to include “three properties located at No. 8 Ajayi Crowther Street, Asokoro, Abuja; a Plot of land at Plot 1960, Cadastral Zone A05, Maitama District, FCT, Abuja; a Hotel which is under construction with generating set, located at Plot 621, Road 37, Gwarimpa, FCT, Abuja and a twin 4 bedroom duplex with guard quarters located at Plot 736, 7th Avenue Gwarimpa, FCT, Abuja”.

“The money and properties are the product of illicit activities of a former Accountant General of the Federation, Jonah Otunla, and Colonel Bello Fadile, aide to former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki,” the statement reads.

“Moving a motion for the final forfeiture of the assets today, Counsel to the EFCC, Christopher Mshelia, informed the court that the assets recovered by the Commission in the course of investigating contract fraud in the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) under Sambo Dasuki, were proceeds of the unlawful activities Colonel Bello Fadile and Mr. Jonah Otunla.

The N775,000,000.00 (Seven Hundred and Seventy-five Million Naira) was refunded by Otunla and Otunba Ade Adelakun (late) during the investigation, whilst the landed properties sought to be forfeited are ‘reasonably suspected to be proceeds of an unlawful activity received, retained, concealed and converted by the respondents from the office of the National Security Adviser to the President’.

“The Commission had on July 20, 2020 secured an interim forfeiture order on the assets and also published the Order of the court on August 11, 2022, in Thisday Newspaper, for the respondent to show cause why the money and properties should not be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government.

“Justice Okorowo, in granting the final forfeiture, stated that the court was satisfied with the evidence before it and ordered the final forfeiture of the assets to the Federal Government of Nigeria.”

Even retired Col.Bello Fadile that God miraculously spare his life from the fangs of Abacha in the 1997 (Lt Gen Oladipo Diya) coup plot? Nigeria politicians will never make heaven.

It seems something is in that office that makes them lose their heads when they get to that office. They retire from office and resume in EFCC cell and then forfeit their loot and end up in disgrace.

All those seeking his help and telling him to go ahead and commit have now abandoned him!
I hope those with sense will learn from this. When they tell you to commit crime and nothing will happen, if you truly have sense , FLEE!

The monies involve in this case lead to the death of many civilians and military personels. It is the catalyst for all that has been happening in the north and now all over the country.

Nigerian politicians, especially those in apostle Oshiomhole’s Association of Past Crooks, APC where sins are forgiven if you join and stay loyal.

One of the major beneficiaries of Dasuki loot is APC’s national Secretary. The man Obasanjo made senator from prison in 2003, two years after Bola Ige’s murder.

Is it not curious that retired General Obasanjo could not arrest, prosecute and sentence the killers of his own AGF for six years until he left office in 2007?

Our collective patrimony is simply in private pockets.

We Nigerians most begin to realise that public wealth is in the interest of everyone, it's what makes a society progressive.

People who criminally convert our public wealth to private wealth should be hanged.

If you're running to Europe, Canada, US it's because of their public wealth not private wealth.

These people can’t make heaven.
They sit and milk the country out of greed without remorse.
Imagine the number the people in these category that get uncaught!
Imagine what the tax payers funds will do for the citizens at large
Imagine how much has been stolen collectively.

At the point, I strongly believe that Nigeria is doomed.

God bless you! It is very disappointing to see Col. Bello Fadile (Rtd.), an otherwise intelligent army officer and lawyer, who escaped Abacha's death penalty, engage in this kind of unbridled corruption!

Majority of our leaders are irredeemably wicked!
