To date it was gathered that the EFCC has
received several petitions exposing corrupt directors most especially in the
finance directorates. The Currency department of the Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN) is also under focus. That department according to an insider familiar
with operations had disclosed that too much rot exists and should be curbed.
“The officials there are obviously sacred cows and behave as though they are
untouchable”, said another source, “but we will reach whoever is fingered in
illicit deals”. The NDDC, Presidential Amnesty Programme, and not least the
National Library are all affected.
How the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan frittered away the nation’s scarce resources is beginning to spill out – despite the shrill insistence by ex-Finance Minister, Okonjo Iweala that the records sheet were clean! Information pieced together by our investigators show that several paramilitary Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior shared a record 10 billion each for the purpose of influencing the March 28 General Elections in favour of the defeated incumbent. However, things did not go down well with the ranks and file during the sharing. Outgoing Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Boss (name withheld) was said to have misappropriated the huge booty by allegedly pocketing 5 billion for himself, while declaring the other half (5 billion) as the sum total. The bone of contention was that while the rank and file received 40,000 each some key associates close to the big guns went home with a hefty slice. Causing the rumble.
