EFCC Arraigns Two For Allegedly Receiving N450mn From Diezani Largesse

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arraigned Joel Madaki and Felix Tagwame, before Justice A.M. Anka of the Federal High Court, Yola, Adamawa State, on four counts bordering on conspiracy, misappropriation and diversion of funds.




Investigation into the $115million alleged fraud involving Diezani Alison-Madueke, a former minister of petroleum resources, was linked to them.


It was further revealed that the said funds were exchanged to an equivalent sum of N23, 299,705,000 and was used for the 2015 presidential election. Substantial amount of the funds, investigations showed, were shared to some staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC across the nation by Fidelity Bank on behalf of Mrs Alison-Madueke.


One of the counts reads: “That you, Chief Madaki, Amb. Hassan Adamu (now at large) sometimes in March 2015 at Yola, Adamawa State of Nigeria within the Jurisdiction of this Honourable court, did conspire amongst yourselves to accept cash payment of the sum of Four Hundred and Fifty Million Naira only (N450,000,000) from one Shaba Mohammed, Head of Operations, Yola Branch of Fidelity Bank, Adamawa State, which sum exceeded the amount authorized by law.

They pleaded “not guilty” to the charges.

Justice Anka, after listening to the various arguments, granted them bail in the sum of N200million and surety in like sum. The matter has been adjourned to February 5, 2019 for trial.
