The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is set to arraign a former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode; a former Minister of Finance, Senator Nenadi Usman; a firm, Joint Trust Dimensions Limited; and one Jimoh Yusuf for an alleged N1.5bn fraud.
An impeccable source at the anti-graft agency told punch correspondent that Fani-Kayode, Usman and Yusuf would be charged with 17 counts bordering on money laundering and fraud.
The EFCC had arrested Fani-Kayode and Usman for their role in the sharing of a N4bn campaign fund during the build-up to the 2015 presidential election.
The money was said to have emanated from the account of the Office of the National Security Adviser domiciled in the Central Bank of Nigeria.
The money was said to have been transferred to the account of JTDL and then distributed to some chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Usman, who was the Director of Finance of the Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation, was alleged to have transferred N840m into the Zenith Bank account of Fani-Kayode with account number 1004735721, domiciled in Maitama, Abuja.
Fani-Kayode was said to have received the funds in three tranches.
The first tranche of the payment, involving N350m, hit the account on February 19, 2015. Another N250m was also paid into the account on February 19, 2015, while N240m was credited to the account a month later; precisely on March 19, 2015.
Apart from Fani-Kayode, others, who also received the funds, were the Chairman of the Social Democratic Party, Chief Olu Falae (N100m); a former Governor of Imo State, Achike Udenwa; while a former Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Viola Onwuliri, also got N350m in two tranches while Nenadi Usman took N36.9m.
A coalition of pro-Jonathan groups, headed by a former Special Adviser to the President on Political matters, Prof. Rufai Alkali, also received N320m.
The accounts of those accused of receiving funds have since been frozen by the EFCC.
Usman has returned about N23m to the EFCC while two of her properties in Abuja have been seized by the anti-graft agency......
Punch
*Na wah!...Since the ex Minister says he didnt know where the money came from,let them just collect back what is left in his account and set him free..or has he spent it?...If one collects money from a thief,does that make one an accomplice when one doesnt know that giver was a thief?Lawyers please step in...
See money. Anyway God should help them to be free from EFCC wahala. Now no APC members are thieves. So it is only PDP people that are theives.
ReplyDeleteGod is watching you all.
Stella we don explain this matter for here tire na. Lol
DeleteFFK has finished the money. I'm sure whatever is left is what he will use to pay his lawyers. He has no landed property that they can seize to recover the money. He's in a deep doodoo!!
OK bye
#FreeFFK
ReplyDeleteEnd time snow white
ReplyDeleteBonuses and ingredients!...
ReplyDeleteBuhari will not end well!...
*nonsense...
DeleteWill you end well?
DeleteYou entire family members will not end well,you shall die in poverty olosho extra
DeleteHow can you spend money you don't know how it entered your account. We are talking hundreds of million not like one kain 10k. Stupid man
ReplyDeleteIs ur brain working at all?
DeleteDo you investigate the source of the money people give you?,,.
DeleteBiko shut up!,..
Stranger let's just pretend we believe him. Lol
DeleteKF the K!
DeleteDon't know why ur own case makes me laugh.
The fact that he even received official money in his private account says it all. Ontop of it he didn't disburse the funds as was instructed. All the people that worked on the media team for Jonathan's campaign under this man were complaining bitterly. The gist was that he had the cash stashed up in his abuja home, under his baby mama's care. And when anyone needed money FFK would ask his Gf to disburse the funds. Dem use Jonathan money do big man come dey suffer now. Lol
DeleteBut it's normal.
DeleteIf you were contracted to do something and money comes into your account, you wouldn't be bothered about the source of money.. For instance you were called to supply something to a company, the money would be transferred in your account for you to execute the Job.you wouldn't know if the company paid you with stolen funds.. That's how I see this. He was asked to do. Something and giving the money for it.
His case isn't like others who didn't have any contract to do and were wired money.
If someone purchase something from me and pays me for my services and it is discovered it was stolen money, I'll return the money if what was purchased from me is returned or if the services I offered whixh can't be return is somehow paid. I'm not about to loose my own money
Everyday you continue to display your inability to comprehend anything that might be remotely considered as intelligent @queen and useless anon 9:25

DeletePlease use your sense for once Madam Queen of this blog. People like you have allowed your hatred for Buhari take out all your sense of reason. Can't you guys see how all these stealing has put the nation in trouble?. You keep saying that no APC member has been arrested, let's start with PDP members and the day PDP wins election they will arrest APC guys.
DeleteWe admire other nations but do not really wish progress for our nation because of religious and ethnic considerations.
For all the South East and South south guys that call APC a hausa party, hope you guys are aware that your beloved PDP has zoned 2019 Presidential ticket to the north. So where is the reward for all you guys' support for PDP
Vuhari? Hahahahhahahahaha Queen is that his new name? LMAO
