The former governor of Abia State, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu, has been accused of laundering about N3 billion by the EFCC. The EFCC detailed a total of 107 counts charge, giving a blow-by-blow account of how he allegedly used the machinery of Slok, his private company, to launder about N3billion.

The EFCC said a pattern was established in the alleged looting of Abia State funds in the form of “piecemeal but frequent” transfer of the funds between the trio of Kalu, his Mother, Eunice Agwu, and Emeka Kalu.

They also gave details of how the former governor of Taraba State, Rev. Jolly Nyame, allegedly allocated the sum of N250 million for the purchase of stationery for government offices and diverted about N180 million for his personal use. The former governor said this in a confessional statement signed by him.

In March 2003 N45 million and N55 million were transferred on the 18th and 31st and on the 3rd of June 2005, N21million and N10million were allegedly transferred to Slok account.

A total of 19 witnesses, including investigating EFCC operatives, have been lined up to testify against Kalu.

On another count, the former governor of Taraba State was accused of receiving a bribe of N80 million in April, 2005, from a contractor, Abubakar Suleiman of Alusab International (Nig) Ltd, through Salman Global Ventures (Nig) Ltd in the Ibi/Wkari Water Project awarded by the Taraba State Government.

In his statement to the EFCC, the former governor admitted knowing Abubakar but said he did not know details about his company and promised to contact government officials that allegedly gave him the kick back and stated that “whatever is my share, I will refund it.”

Last Friday, the EFCC arraigned Joshua Dariye, Saminu Turaki, and Orji Kalu of Plateau, Jigawa, and Abia States respectively.

Here is the details for Alhaji Saminu Turaki(immediate past governor of Jigawa State)

The anti-graft commission, in its case against Turaki, claimed that he laundered N33.6 billion in one year, with N17 billion out of the said amount in one day.He was also accused of stealing $20 million within the same period.

Eiya,

Reverend Jolly Nyame, he thinks that Nigeria is like before that when you are caught, you apologise and return some of the money.

If this report is genuine, then Taraba Governor has not yet become a hardcore politician.
The type that they will ask: "is this not a video of you depositing $30 million cash in switzerland?"
He will say: "I have never been to switzerland. My only trip abroad was to Ghana. This is my enemies' handwork."

The guy just thought he could pinch a little off the national cake as retirement fund. E never know anything. I say within the next 3 years, EFCC go knock for Baba door.

LOL!!!

Amen. But IBB nko?

I never know when the ground go ready for IBB. But IBB has to enter the pot before OBJ. In fact, OBJ is needed to help us push IBB into the pot. Then maybe as IBB falls inside, while OBJ is still at the edge catching his breath, that is when EFCC should tip him over too into the hot soup he helped prepare.

lol!!!

People please be careful when you talk of IBB his son is on this forum and he will come after you guys with every weapon possible. But IBB wont be touch in this regime, but we are still building his official jail at KIRIKIRI
