EFCC Grills Ex-governor Imoke, Others On $115m Bank Fraud by LocalChamp(op): 11:44pm On May 11, 2016
BY ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRIMES COMMISSION MAY 11, 2016
Operatives of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Wednesday, May 11, 2016 quizzed a former governor of Cross Rivers State, Senator Liyel Imoke, for his alleged involvement in the N500million collected by the Cross Rivers State’s chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, Mr. Ntufam John Okon.

The N500m was part of the $115m allegedly lodged in Fidelity Bank Plc, in controversial circumstances, during the 2015 electioneering campaign period by the immediate past Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Allison- Madueke.

Also, a former Deputy Governor of Edo State, Chief Lucky Imasuen, and a former Secretary to the State Government of Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize Iyamu, have been interrogated by operatives of the EFCC for collecting the sum of N700million( Seven Hundred Million Naira) from the $115million fraud.

The money was reportedly collected from Fidelity Bank Plc, Mission Road, Benin City branch, on March, 2015.

Iyamu, a People's Democratic Party, PDP's presidential campaign coordinator in the 2015 presidential election, admitted to have collected the money from the bank.

He told EFCC's interrogators that he went to the bank on that fateful day with Imasuen and a former House of Representatives member representing Edo Central, Tony Azeigbemi (who is yet to be arrested by the EFCC) and the money was handed over to them by an official of the bank.

Both Imasuen and Iyamu signed for the collection of the money.

Investigations by the EFCC showed that the two politicians conveyed the money from the bank in a bullion van to the residence of a top politician in Edo State.

The Commission is on the trail of the politician for the recovery of the money.

Both Imasuen and Iyamu are still in the EFCC custody and will be charged to court soon.

Seems, the more Buhari recovers looted funds, the more things get harder for the masses.

With all the money were him don recover,
garri is now 3 cups 100naira,
rice is now 80naira per cup,

Transportation that was formerly 50naira is now 100naira,
Fuel is scarce, and when you even see one to buy na either 150naira or 200naira per litre,


So tell me, why should i be happy that Buhari is recovering looted funds?

If they can jail 200 corrupt ex-officials before 2019, it will sent a message to the looters for a long time.

Buhari can probe the world for all we care, he is not a man of integrity.
A liar can do anything.., I mean negatively.

All these probes other than NIMASA, are all geared towards PDP's source of funds at the last general elections.
1yr down, you can pin down the irregularities Minister of Petroluem did in office, neither other ministers.

It only shows me that GEJ wasn't bad afterall. It was desperation to remain in office, that led to some persons taking advantage of him, to divert and misuse state funds.


Zombies quote and tell me one single thing Deziani did wrong in office?
Just 1.

We keep talking probe probe... When key economic determinants are left to suffer. Economy is nothing to write home about, the poor are suffering, villages are battling extinction instead of us being concerned with this problems, we are busy running after wild goose money.
Light we no get after 1year tenure in office.
All we hear from the ministers na English,
Age of Mythology solutions to Jet-age issues.

Buhari doesn't have a vision, all he is after is recovering stolen money.
I know Nigeria must be paying for the sins the whole of Africa committed

They defend corruption with so much favor that you will almost think they are defending their projects alas they are labouring in vain to defend stealing they never partook in. what a disgrace what a tragedy what an abomination.

How did Nigeria survive under such vicious and sustained attack from the very people entrusted with the responsibility to protect her??

We are really a resilient country.
