ExJAMB BOSS accused by ICPC
names Chief Bisi Akande's associate
in betrayal tales


As the former JAMB boss Prof. Dibu
Ojerinde battles serious fraudulent
charges preferred against him by
the ICPC, he is lamenting how some
of his friends took money from him
ostensibly to help him prevail on
top government officials to stop the
prosecution but to no avail.
Family sources close to Prof. Dibu
Ojerinde said among several friends
that he had spoken to for help, it
was the case of Prof. Olu Aina whic
pained him the most because "Aina
had boasted that he would persuad
Chief Bisi Akande to prevail on
the new ICPC Chairman to end his
prosecution."
He claimed that Aina who have beer
his agelong friend even collected
several thousands of dollars from
him-Ojerinde. The accused Prof said
he was shocked after he had paid
Aina that ICPC officials still went
ahead to rearrest him and continued
with the prosecution.
According to the former JAMB
Boss "| had to lament openly before
the ICPC operatives how much
dollars Aina took from me. He never
forwarded the money and has not
even returned the dollars to me up
till now. What kind of friend is this?
