Nigeria's Former Finance Minister, Nenadi Usman who was recently arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has named some of her accomplices .
According to THE BOSS NEWSPAPER,the former Minister named former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode; former Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Social Democratic Party (SDP) leader Chief Olu Falae; former Imo State Governor Achike Udenwa; former Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Viola Onwuliri and Okey Ezenwa as beneficiaries of billions of Naira withdrawn from the Central Bank of Nigeria.
A source within the EFCC who spoke anonymously said, “Mrs Usman was the Director of Finance of the Presidential Campaign Committee for the re-election of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan. At the prompting of the former President, N4billion was withdrawn from the CBN under the guise of security needs for disbursement to party chieftains.”
“The cash was transferred into the account of Joint Trust Dimension Nigeria Limited, a company traced to Mrs Usman, where it was later shared to various individuals and organisations for purposes that are not stated. Nenadi, who made a statement to EFCC later went abroad on an undisclosed mission.”
“Her trip slowed down investigation because as a vital coordinator, she ought to reappear for further interrogation. This development made the EFCC to watch-list the ex-minister.”
“Fani-Kayode was the chief beneficiary of the disbursement as he allegedly received N840million, paid in three tranches into his Zenith Bank, Maitama branch account with No.1004735721.”
“The first tranche of payment involving N350million hit the account on February 19, 2015. Another N250milion was also paid into the account on February19, 2015 while N240million was credited to the account a month later; precisely, March 19, 2015. The balance on this account as at 31st December, 2015 was N189, 402.72.”
“Next is Goodluck Support Group, which allegedly received N320million. Falae allegedly received N100m through Marreco Limited, a company where he is Chairman. The fund was credited into the company’s United Bank for Africa Plc account No. 1000627022 on March 25, 2014.”
“Both Udenwa and Mrs Onwuliri got N350million in two tranches. The first tranche of N150million was paid into their joint account with Zenith Bank on January 13, 2015. The second tranche of N200miilion was credited into their account with Diamond Bank.”
