Obanikoro refunds N134m to EFCC, promises N450m more in 2017



A former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, on Monday returned N30m to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. This brings the total amount of money he has returned to the EFCC to N134m.

A source at the EFCC said, “Obanikoro came on Monday and presented a draft of about N30m. Initially we did not want to collect it because it is small compared to what he is supposed to have given us. However, the legal department advised us to collect it.”

Obanikoro had in October returned N104m to the commission. The ex-minister, who returned to Nigeria last month after spending about 15 months in the United States, was accused of receiving N4.7bn from the Office of the National Security Adviser under the leadership of Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.).

Obanikoro had said in his statement of oath at the EFCC that after receiving the money in 2014, he gave N1.219bn to the then governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, while N1.3bn was given to the PDP candidate in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore.

He also confessed to giving Fayose a separate $5.377m at Spotless Hotel in Ekiti State in the presence of party leaders including the then PDP Secretary, Mr. Tope Aluko.

Obanikoro was said to have kept about N785m for himself, which he allegedly spent while campaigning ahead of the PDP governorship primary in Lagos State. Mr. Jimi Agbaje won the primary.

However, the EFCC asked Obanikoro to return about N584m out of which he had already returned N134m.

Following his agreement to refund the money, the EFCC subsequently released him on bail to two members of the National Assembly.

Show us where he denied such.


Do you think lying means you have common sense.?


All you people do is lie lie lie. You spew rubbish that you can not back up with facts.

greggng:



Some of you don't use ur common sense. It is not logical for a money belonging to amaechi to be exposed by efcc in a govt were he is a key member. I think amaechis enemies should cook up another story. No right thinking person will suspect amaechi in all this. Nigerians will soon know the whole truth.

Jessestunch:



Stupidity is when you come online and type rubbish and support it with another rubbish.. You said 2billion US dollars but you are coming up with a fishy document of 300million US dollars and 5.5m pounds.. Are you this stupid? How does that piece of paper justify your 2 billion US DOLLARS claim?

And below is GEJ denial of ever approving such contract

Nigeria: Buhari’s 2016 budget continues use of secretive ‘security votes’ BY MATTHEW PAGE
JANUARY 14, 2016


Nearly $50 million has been set aside in unaccountable items notorious for being misdirected.

Under President Muhammadu Buhari, the fight against corruption in Nigeria has unquestionably turned a corner. Shortly after taking office in May, he vowed to “plug revenue leakages”, made sweeping changes in the notoriously corrupt Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), and took steps to tighten control over public spending. He gave the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission free rein to pursue former officials, several of whom have been arrested.

However, despite these advances, Buhari’s 2016 budget raises awkward questions. According to official details just released by the Nigerian government’s Budget Office, the 2016 budget contains over 30 so-called “security votes”.

In theory, security votes are catch-all line items inserted in the budget to give recipients the flexibility to cover ad hoc security expenditures. But in practice, they are opaque slush funds that officials have long used to embezzle state funds or redirect them for political purposes. Security votes are distinct from the type of extra-budgetary defence spending that may have been misdirected or stolen by the previous government, but they resemble them insofar as they are spent with scant legislative oversight or outside scrutiny.

In light of his record and rhetoric, Buhari’s decision to use security votes raises doubts about whether his anti-corruption strategy is comprehensive enough to put Nigeria back on track.

Thinly-veiled theft

A relic of military rule, security votes were used to siphon public funds during Nigeria’s Second Republic from 1979 to 1983. In fact, when the military overthrew the government and Buhari became a military head of state in 1983, he arrested former officials and investigated fellow military officers for embezzling security funds.

Max Siollun suggests that these actions contributed to Ibrahim Babangida’s decision to topple Buhari in 1985. And under Babangida and later Sani Abacha, the use of security votes as a tool for self-enrichment was perfected and institutionalised.

Following Nigeria’s 1999 return to civilian rule, soldiers-turned-civilian officials such as President Olusegun Obasanjo and former National Security Adviser Aliyu Mohammed Gusau ensured that security votes survived.

Although it makes sense that a few select military and intelligence expenditures should remain classified even in a democracy, the widespread use of security votes by federal, state, and even local officials is anathema to norms of transparency and accountability. Yet top politicians have long turned a blind eye to the practice or even attempted to excuse it.

As one now-opposition party heavyweight recently griped: “Why are we probing security votes now? You see, security votes to my understanding can be used for native doctors, it can be used to hire Alphas [soothsayers] and it can be used for churches to pray for the country. It can be used for even sponsoring things.”

And the winners are…

In Buhari’s proposed 2016 budget, the top ten security votes amount to about N9.3 billion ($46.5 million), which his 25% less than the equivalent amount tucked into his predecessor President Goodluck Jonathan’s 2015 budget. Although these votes make up less than one-half of one percent of overall recurrent expenditure in the 2016 Appropriation Bill, they represent huge windfalls for the handful of top officials entrusted with spending them.

The 2016 budget contains a N576 million ($2.9 million) security vote for the National Security Adviser, even though the last NSA, Sambo Dasuki, allegedly diverted up to $2 billion from the security budget in office. Although 10% less than Jonathan gave Dasuki in 2015, the amount indicates that the political and financial pre-eminence of the NSA among Nigeria’s top brass will continue.

As it did under Jonathan, the shadowy State Security Service (SSS) is set to receive the largest security vote in 2016: about N2 billion (roughly $10.4 million) or 10% less than last year. Since Buhari took office, the SSS has been increasingly assertive under the leadership of Lawal Musa Daura, who hails from the president’s home town. Daura has purged officers accused of misconduct and corruption from the top ranks of the SSS.

Nigeria’s small foreign intelligence arm, the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), will enjoy a N1.2 billion ($6 million) security vote in 2016, a little less than it received last year. Buhari has retained Jonathan’s NIA director, Ayo Oke, who even joined the new president on his July 2015 visit to the US. Nevertheless, his stewardship of NIA finances have been called into question. A recent pbs documentary showed evidence that the agency received a suspicious disbursement of $289 million from the NNPC on the eve of the 2015 election, an amount more than twice its annual budget.

Last but not least, the Ministry of Defence and the three branches of the Armed Forces are set to receive security votes totalling approximately N5 billion (roughly $25 million). This amount is about half of what they received in 2015. This reduction might reflect Buhari’s concerns about alleged financial malfeasance by the military under President Jonathan.

Looking ahead

President Buhari is undeniably working to root out and deter corruption from the top down. Nigerians elected him to do so and, to an unprecedented degree, he and his government are making progress. Yet the unfolding Dasuki affair should be a reminder that secretive security slush funds can easily end up paying personal, rather than operational, dividends.

If the Buhari government continues to use security votes, it could at least work with the National Assembly to better monitor how such funds are spent. It could also enable citizen oversight by declassifying how the money was spent after two years.

Having said that, even if he wants to maintain the use of these secretive funds, Buhari may soon find that as more embarrassing details of security sector corruption emerge, he has no choice but to address security votes, one of the most durable forms of corruption in Nigeria today.

LordAdam16:




Mexican cartels kill snitches who even enter the US famed witness protection program, it's now corrupt Nigeria with no witness protection that snitches would survive.

Personally, I encourage you to whistle-blow on a powerful person. The Zetas disembowel, cut off the tongue of snitches then shove the tongue right in their ass, before dumping them in an alley or hung like cows in an abattoir near a busy street.

People who blow the whistle for non-monetary reasons get a pass in my book. But if done for monetary reasons, they deserve every inhumane treatment they get.

So, you think if you snitch on $50m and you get $2.5m, you'll be able to hide in any part of this world without being found? A person able to amass $50m in cash in just one location definitely has the $100,000 to put a hit on your head in the open market. And people in the government that leak high-profile letters and names to SR and PT, will defo leak your name to the pained party whether willingly or unwillingly, knowingly or unknowingly.

This is Nigeria where Fulani Herdsmen kill with ease and get government backing and a wanted warlord celebrated a birthday and his state's governor attended.

You're guaranteed to die when you snitch on a powerful person in Nigeria. If na some kyn strong men, na your family them go start with. You go use part of the commission bury everybody you hold dear. By the time they're through with you, you'll be begging for them to pull the trigger.

Na your commission them go promise the person in government when go snitch on you too. All snitches get snitched on eventually. Abi is it not the same looters that fix their children, relations, and boys in sensitive security positions during recruitments that you don't know about? You think they're dumb abi.
