Alleged N250m Anambra money: Police launches fresh investigation

By ikenna Anyanwu
Contrary to speculations that the case of recent recovery of a whooping sum of N250 million in cash in a private office of Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State in Apapa, Lagos by eagle-eyed policemen in Lagos has been rested, indications emerged over the week that Police authorities in Abuja have commenced thorough investigations into the matter.

This is just as untold details of the circumstances that led to the strange discovery and the role played by all the parties involved including the Police were unfolded by reliable police sources at the Force Headquarters in Abuja.

Saturday Vanguard gathered that on the said day, which was Sunday, Police authorities in Lagos received information from one of the aides to Governor Peter Obi that a huge sum of money was been conveyed to the Governor's private company at Aerodrome road in Apapa, Lagos.

Based on this, Lagos State Police Commissioner, Marvel Akpoyibo led some of his officers including the Area Commander in Apapa and they stormed the company.

Police sources said on getting to the scene, they saw the exotic jeeps that transported the money which were arraigned in suit cases inside the premises.



The Police reportedly instructed one of the aids to the Governor who was seen there to inform the Governor of their intention to inspect the vehicles. At this juncture, according to reports, the Governor instructed his aides not to open the vehicles until he comes to Lagos.

As soon as the Commissioner of Police was informed of the Governor’s directive, he reportedly deployed policemen to guard the vehicles until the arrival of the Governor.

That Sunday, at about 2.30 pm, both the Commissioner of Police and Governor Obi arrived the scene with their entourage and the Police Commissioner insisted that the vehicles must be thoroughly searched in the presence of everybody because the information received was a case of arms and ammunition being stockpiled for the 2010 election in Anambra State.

Governor Obi who was reportedly not comfortable with the Commissioner˜s directive was said to had capitulated by directing his aids to open the vehicle and this led to the discovery of the whooping sum of N250 million. Saturday Vanguard learnt that at this stage, the Commissioner of police quickly alerted the Inspector-General of Police, Sir Mike Okiro who directed that the Governor should make a statement over the discovery.

Sources said that in his statement, Governor Obi stated that the money found in the vehicles belongs to Anambra State and that it was meant for payment to one of their contractors who wanted cash.

It was gathered also that when the police asked Governor Obi why he should pay such a huge amount of money in cash instead of draft or cheque, the Governor could not give reasonable answer.

It was then that the Inspector~General of Police directed that the money should be paid back to Anambra State government account without delay.

On Monday the following day, both the Commissioner of Police and Governor Obi reportedly moved to Spring bank where the money was paid into Anambra State Government account and a photocopy of the deposit slip made and handed over to the Commissioner of Police.

Saturday Vanguard also learnt that what fueled police suspicion over the money was that they also got information that the Governor was billed to travel out of the country a week after the money was intercepted.

To worsen the speculation, Governor Obi reportedly traveled overseas after the incident.

It was at this stage that the Inspector~General of Police who was properly briefed on the incident directed the Force Criminal Investigations Department under Deputy Inspector~General of Police, Israel Ajao to take over the case and unravel the mystery surrounding the movement of the cash from Anambra State to Lagos.

The IGP˜s directive was also said to have been prompted by the fact that the contractor whom Governor Obi claimed owns the money never showed up at all stages of the discovery and the fact that Lagos state Police Command preliminary investigations revealed a case of money laundering against the Governor.

So far, sources at the Force headquarters said detectives will soon conclude their investigations into the matter based on the fact that Police authorities vowed to get to the root of the case without fear or favor.

You are also a lunatic for stealing #250 million cash each stacked in suites cases as a Governor and looting millions of dollars in shell companies abroad.

While on a private coverage of Ekiti state election, I saw poverty face to face. There was a remark in yoruba credited to Tinubu during one of the APC's Ekiti state governorship campaigns to the Ekitians that if you do not vote APC, you will go home empty handed. Ofcourse we all saw how it ended, he bought the governorship for APC, He bought the presidential candidacy and he will continue buying his way through until the youths buy sense. The Tinubus and Atikus will continue to sustain poverty to continue buying their ways through. My question to the majority of Yoruba youths supporting Tinubu. What are you expecting from a Tinubu presidency. May be some of these youths have been enlisted in 30k sustainable poverty alleviation programme or promised to be enlisted because thats the most these old men can do. They continue to mortgage your future until you are too frail to do anything reasonable with your lives. His presidency will take us to another eight good years, we ve waisted eight years already on a disaster foisted on us by Tinubu. If you were enlisted or promised, how far do you think that pittance can take you because they are ever gonna come up with a new inflationary wave that will drown that 30k monthly stipend. Or are you waiting and hoping for your old frail mothers to lead the change for the survival of this country.
Enough of the tribalism, divide and rule, brainwashing, subjugation. Time to take our rightful place as the Nigerian youths and align with who will take this country out of the mess it has become. Our aged frail parents are looking up to us to see a little future with this country before they finally depart. The innocent prisoners who have spent years and decades in prison for a crime they know nothing about but because of a failed system they are incarcerated and the list goes on and on. Nigeria is in dire need of rescue and the time to do that is now.

lathrowinger:
See how stupid you are, Asiwaju rule Lagos. We've seen his works and we believe he will do more.


U should get your PVC, rather campaign for your Candidate to emerge, with proof of what he had acheived so far during his tenure.

Instead of coming here to speak ill on another candidate.

Atiku, Kwankaso, also have their own supporters too.

And they have reasons of supporting them.

Do your campaign with evidence but not insult, this might change the mindset of people. but not just talking rubbish

They more u guys showing your hatered, the more he is gaining his supporters.

Last I checked, Tinubu isn't a religious fanatic as he as shown over and over again. Let's vote for the brain inside the skull over religious and ethnic background.

Odua1stson:

Ceenaija:
May God 's good countenance shine upon Peter Obi now and always.

lexxwiz:
May God oil this journey we’ve all embarked. Jeep Obi on track and confuses his haters. IJN amen!!!

Gohs:
May God Almighty continue to strengthen Peter Obi and his supporters to the very end.

May this movement mark the beginning of new things in Nigeria.
As we start 2023, good turn-around will begin in this country with the help of Almighty God.

I don't see peter Obi as the next president of Nigeria at this moment

I am Igbo and want him to lose woefully so that he can understand that this is Nigeria.

Then he will understand that restructuring / Biafra is more important than his so called Presidency
