EFCC Breaks World Record, Uncovers $200 Million ‘Stolen’ Property In Buhari’s Office
According to sources, the EFCC spent
months to trace the $200 million, which was allegedly remitted into a
CBN account, before the property was acquired.
The breakdown of the remittances by the
five companies is as follows: Julius Berger ($35m); Siemens (Euros 30m);
Snamprogetti ($30m); Halliburton Energy Services ($32,500,000); and
Japan Gasoline Corporation ($26, 500,000).
While making the shocking revelation as
reported by The Nation Newspaper, an EFCC source said: “One of the five
suspects interrogated by our team, indicated that the cash was used to
buy a customized security helicopter for ex-President Goodluck
Jonathan.”
The suspect added, that the helicopter is still in Buhari’s presidential fleet.
A former Minister of Finance, is
currently under investigation for releasing the cash to the Office of
the National Security Adviser, ONSA, which was then headed by the late
General Owoye Azazi.
The source added: “We have made
substantial progress in locating the remittance of the fines into an
account in the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, but the cash was withdrawn
under the guise of security funding.
“But it was not clear if the
N81.4billion was spent on the helicopter, or part of it. We are trying
to find out the cost of the helicopter from the manufacturer.
Preliminary findings confirmed that the helicopter could not have cost
up to N1 billion to N2 billion.”
