Zenith Bank Official Says Dasuki Gave $40Million To GEJ’s Cousin, Azibaola Roberts & Wife
November 14, 2016 – Zenith Bank Official Says Dasuki Gave $40Million To Jonathan’s Cousin, Azibaola Roberts & Wife
A Zenith Bank official has told a Federal high Court in Abuja that $40 million was transferred from the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) into the account of a company owned by a cousin of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Azibaola Roberts, and his wife.
Olabode Farinola, a compliance officer with the bank, is a principal witness of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in the ongoing trial of Mr. Roberts and his wife, Stella.
He told the court presided over by Justice Nnamdi Dimgba that the money was transferred to OnePlus Holdings LTD from the office of the NSA according to bank description.
Under cross-examination by counsel to Mr. Roberts, Chris Uche Mr. Farinola also admitted that the NSA never complained to Zenith Bank that the $40 million was wrongly transferred.
“I’m not aware of the purpose of the inflow or how it was disbursed but we didn’t receive any letter from the NSA that the money was wrongly transferred”, Mr. Farinola said.
Mr. Roberts and his wife are facing a seven-count charge brought against them by the EFCC.
They were accused of diverting $40 million meant for the supply of tactical communication kits for Nigeria’s Special Forces. The funds were allegedly transferred from the account of the Office of the NSA domiciled with the Central Bank of Nigeria.
During a previous cross examination, Ibrahim Mahe, another principal witness had told the court that only the former NSA, Sambo Dasuki, could explain why OnePlus Holdings Limited got a $40 million pipeline security contract.
This is another loot
Jonathan was never bothered about the progress of Nigeria when he was commander in chief. In as much he and his family can get better chunk of nation’s money. He just didn’t care. This money was disbursed when people were crying of no money. When people are crying about inflation.
With all these money distributed to only group of individuals why didn’t he come with a special program that every Nigeria will benefit from. Our leaders are so greedy with no sense of direction. Our problem in this Country is how to come up with a special plan that will turn people’s lives around positively. The white folks are not that special nor smarter than we are but we are just full of visionless leaders who are so useless for their people. May God saves us from enemy within.
Father Xmas at it again.
