After
no one came forward to claim the sum of $43,449,947, $27,800 and N23, 218,000
recovered from flat 7B of No. 16 Osborne Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, by the EFCC, Justice Musliu Hassan of a Federal High Court
in Lagos on Tuesday, June 6, 2017, ordered the permanent forfeiture of the money
to the Federal Government. The EFCC had on April 11, recovered the money
stashed in Ghana must go bags. However,
the mystery deepens portraying Nigeria as a country of paradox. Where there is crystal clear evidence involving very important personalities, the nation’s security apparatus suddenly develops cold feet preferring instead to look the other way. The
Osborne road affair is clear: the owner of Flat 7B is the owner of the
recovered loots!
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.
