Tell us the definition of covert Mr. Known all. Are you referring to the the covert Boko Haram operation Jonathan started during his regime?

For your parents to have taught you addressing leaders the way you did, they must have shortchanged and ill-equipped you, you need to sue them for not giving you enough home training. Meanwhile, it is not their fault either, you cannot give what you don't have.

key points to note:
- suddenly Jonathan's former security chief died on Thursday from massive heart attack.
-the current director general of NIA was appointed by Jonathan.
-all PDP members are pointing at Amaechi. Is it to divert people's mind?
Time will tell.
Any way I feel sad that Buhari failed to change such person from opposition in a sensitive post like NIA. What a sad thing. El Rufai saw all these.
May be the money would never had been found, had he change him

This Ikoyi money has nothing to do with PDP, Jonathan or his associates.

This money is connected to an APC associate, whom Magu has decided to deal with, since they are dealing with him too.

Or will you say it is the PDP fighting Magu.

This is just a case of in house fighting.
I applaud your reasoning..Immediately EFCC raided Apt 7b, they knew immediately who owned the flat which they communicated to Magu who informed them not to officially release the owner's name since the owner is APC and in the current administration.

So you really believed that tale from the mentally challenged Wike and FFK that Amaechi owns the flat? No wonder Nnamdi Kanu is fooling you all...
For you who doesn't believe, who owns the flat? and why is it taking so much time to release the name of the owner if the doing so wouldn't embarrass the government.

and what is amechi doing in pdp house? Beside you ipods fails to tell us why the covert project never stil get head or tail? And why obuah sudden death the same day?
That means the flat belong to obuah, becos ameachi dont have any house in lagos except in abuja.
Silly conjectures . Are you Amaechi fvck mate to know he only owns a home in Abuja. Obuah has been sick for a while so there is no relationship to the funds whatsoever.

Moreover, that building is not a PDP house.

The National Intelligence Agency (NIA) never briefed President Muhammadu Buhari on its ‘covert projects’ being supposedly financed with the monies recovered from an Ikoyi flat, presidency sources have told TheCable.

This has further raised suspicion that the monies were being warehoused for individual use and not for official purposes.


On Wednesday, EFCC said it discovered $43.4m, £27,800 and N23.2m in a house in Ikoyi, Lagos following a tip-off from a whistle blower.

There was a flurry of speculation on who actually owns the money, with names of prominent Nigerians being mentioned.

The NIA stepped up to claim ownership, saying the funds were approved by former president Goodluck Jonathan for “covert” security projects.

However, government insiders have informed TheCable that “it is a cock and bull story”.


“It is impossible, probably treasonable, that a security agency will be carrying out covert operations without the knowledge of the sitting president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces,” the source said.


“The president has been in power for nearly two years now and not once did the NIA DG mention any such project to him, either at security meetings or one-on-one.

“From what we know so far, funds were indeed approved by Jonathan for the agency in late 2014. But like the monies released for Boko Haram operations, the funds were diverted for non-security use. That is why they ended up in a private residence.

“It appears the funds were diverted for the 2015 elections but some smarter guys kept part for personal use.”


'SENSITIVE DOCUMENTS’

Ayodele Oke, the NIA director-general, was appointed by Jonathan in November 2013 and [RETAINED] by Buhari, even though he replaced other security chiefs in August 2015.

While the Ikoyi operation was underway on Wednesday, Oke was reported to have run to the office of Ibrahim Magu, the EFCC chairman, to inform him that there were “covert” security funds in the flat being searched by the operatives.

However, TheCable understands that Oke only told Magu that there were “sensitive documents” in the house and pleaded that EFCC should abort the operation.

A security official who spoke to TheCable on Friday said “that was what gave away the game”.

“Oke had never mentioned any discreet project being executed by NIA since he started holding security meetings with the president in June 2015,” the official said.

“He never mentioned anything of this nature to the president in private either. For him to be coming up with this story in April 2017 — for the first time — there is a clear case of an attempted cover-up.”


Gordon Obuah, the chief security officer to Jonathan from 2010-2015, died suddenly on Thursday after a “massive heart attack”, leading to speculation that he might also have known about the funds.


He was being investigated separately by the DSS over security funds linked to him and had his movement curtailed by the secret police in the last two years.

UNANSWERED QUESTIONS

Several posers are being raised which further put a dent on NIA’s claims of ownership.

“To start with, if the president, if the national security adviser and if other security chiefs were never aware of covert projects until now, that in itself is a big problem,” another top official said.

“Second, if NIA needs such a huge amount of money in Nigeria, it has enough safes in fortified offices to keep it. It does not need an unprotected private residence. It makes no sense to keep the funds in a private residence without putting operatives on guard.

“Third, if a covert project was approved and monies were collected more than two years ago, are the projects still being executed? Why was no progress report filed with the president? Budgets are released yearly and unspent funds are retired yearly. There is also no record that the NIA sought exemption or got approval to keep the monies away from TSA.”

The source said the president is awaiting reports from the national security adviser, Babagana Monguno, before taking further action.

Is your dullard so dull that he knows ''the criminal oke'' is working for my ineffectual buffoon, giving the avengers information, but has still kept him in the position for almost 2 years? (I suppose you mean the Niger delta avengers)

Just give yourself small brain and give your dullard small credit. He isn't that dull and ineffective to keep such a man in that position. Or is he?

I repeat again that the money belongs to an APC chieftain. Most likely a former PDP.

READ A SNIPET FROM DELE NA MY BOY's ARTICLE
It is curious that the EFCC claims that in all of these matters it has been tipped off by whistleblowers yet those people have seemingly not been able to provide the identity of the owners of the money or even the property in which the money was found.  Wouldn’t any rookie investigator first ask those questions before hotfooting to the scene of the alleged crime? Would you not stake out the place to find out who comes and goes as well as to be sure that you are not walking into a trap? Except it is a deliberate strategy to keep the names for now but why mention some publicly and hide others?
It appears that these mysterious landlords and owners of money are cloaked with some kind of aura or “aferi” (rarefier) that makes them invisible to the eyes of the EFCC but otherwise apparent to everyone else. Many are wondering what is happening at EFCC. The conspiracy theory out there is that the Acting Chairman of the EFCC is simply raging around like a bull in a china shop seeking to find prized heads he can hoist on his stick or at worst pull down with him if he finally has to fall on his sword?

That fund can be used to unseat or destabilise any govt.

I am sure Jonathan approved the fund under the influence of the Spirit of the Bottle.

If Presidency is not aware of the fund, the DG of NIA should be charged for treason.

If Nigeria was North Korea, by now he would have been fed to the lion or executed with Machine Gun.

How come the money be discovered on Wednesday and the Ex-CSO to GEJ died of attack on Thursday. Hmmmm
I 100% agree with u, sudden death of Ex-CSO to GEJ may have link with EFCC discovery

Gullible people believed the lie that Buhari will fight corruption.

Did they know the massive corruption that went under in PTF right under his nose?

You truly believe that a man who could not fight corruption in a small parastatal like PTF will effectively fight corruption in the country as a whole?

When late Abacha's loot were being repatriated to Nigeria, Baba Buhari said that late Sani Abacha was not corrupt.

Whoever expects Rotimi Amaechi to become inculpated over the hidden money must be a joker. Amaechi helped a lot to finance Buhari's presidential contest in 2014/2015.

In Baba Buhar's corruption meter, only his foe can be corrupt.

The greatest trick the devil APC ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist and Nigerians that PMB's government will not be corrupt.
(apologies to Keyser Soze fans)
The trick worked because of two factors:
1) North's determination that apex political power must return to north;
2)Yoruba belief that Igbo were calling the shots in Jonathan government.

These two factors made possible Buhari's emergence as president.

Nigeria is getting ruined by ethno/religious bigotry.
