Many of us would have supported you but when we remember how Erastus looted Intercontinental Bank and fled Nigeria to live in exile for years- we decline. We remember how Erastus only came back after he had settled certain parties in Nigeria so they he would get a very soft landing. But what we remember most is that Intercontinental is the second bank that Erastus looted and left for dead. Go and do your research on the first one. If those that bought Intercontinental Bank are crooks. The man, Erastus who raped her and left her for dead- is what WorldRichest: 2 Likes |

cunny88:[color=#000099][/color] Contrary to his public image as a no-nonsense Governor of the Central Bank and a reformer who always pride himself as an anti-special interest, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi’s complicity in the questionable acquisition of Intercontinental Bank by Access bank and the God-Father role of Dr, Bukola Saraki showed the true Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. Oluwaseyi Oduyela reports, how the former Governor of Central Bank- Sanusi Lamido and Dr, Bukola Saraki masterminded the biggest bank fraud in Nigeria’s Banking Industry history. By Seyi Oduyela/Washington, DC In 2009 when Mr. Chukwuma Soludo’s appointment was due for renewal as the Governor of Central Bank, late President Yar’Adua was misled by the cabal that eventually hijacked his government into refusing Mr. Soludo’s a second term and instead, appointed Sanusi Lamido as Soludo’s successor. Prior to his appointment as the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Soludo had joined the government of former president Obasanjo in 2003 and served as the Chief Economic Adviser and Chief Executive of the National Planning Commission of Nigeria . So in June 2009, Sanusi Lamido became Governor of Central Bank. Barely two weeks in office, in an unusual move, Lamido dispatched Central Bank of Nigeria examiners to five banks- AfriBank, FinBank, Intercontinental Bank, Oceanic Bank and Union Bank. A CBN source disclosed to Africa Inquirer that the inclusion of Intercontinental Bank was a surprise because the CBN just concluded a comprehensive examination of the bank and gave it a clean bill. In a surprise twist of event, CBN examiners changed their positive report on Intercontinental Bank to “non-performing.” Our source at the CBN disclosed that Mallam Lamido rejected the favorable report presented to him, hence the re-classification of the report from “performing to non-performing.” As at this time, Intercontinental Bank was one of the biggest and the largest bank with a balance sheet size of about N1.7 Trillion. Our investigation reveal that, late Yar’Adua refusal to renew Soludo’s appointment was actually influenced by Dr. Bukola Saraki using is political weight as the then Chairman Governor’s forum. It was “Saraki who pressed for the replacement of Soludo with Lamido,” our source disclosed. Why would Saraki want Lamido? What is Saraki’s interest in Lamido and what connects the two men? Africa Inquirer diggings reveal that Mallam Lamido and Bukola Saraki have been childhood friends. The two went to same High School, King’s College Lagos with their mutual lawyer, Kola Awodein. While Lamido graduated in 1977, Bukola Saraki left King’s College in 1978. Besides being school mates, Saraki and Lamido are Akingbola’s mutual enemies by their own creation. Before the emergence of Sanusi Lamido as the Governor of CBN, Dr. Bukola Saraki had taken a loan from Intercontinental Bank to the tune of N11Billion. Our investigations reveal that through Joy Petroleum, as a parent company, Saraki used four other companies namely: Skyview Properties Ltd, Limkers Ltd, Dicetrade Ltd, Carlisle Properties and Investment Ltd, while Dr. Bukola Saraki was portrayed by the bank documents as the Prime Promoter of all the companies including Joy Petroleum Ltd. Under Erastus Akingbola, Saraki secured the 11 Billion Naira loan with four houses in Ikoyi and in Abuja. The houses are on 19 Ruxton road, Ikoyi; 15A MacDonald Road, Ikoyi; 17 MacDonald Road,Ikoyi and Plot 2481 Cadastral Zone A06 Maitama, Abuja. AigSanusi andWigwe As soon as Lamido became the CBN governor, and with the doctored report of ‘non-performance” of Intercontinental Bank which was never released to the public till date, Lamido fired the CEOs of the five banks, including Akingbola and appointed acting Managing Directors. Mr. Lai Mahmoud Alabi, a former staff of Bukola Saraki was appointed by Lamido as the Acting MD of Intercontinental Bank. Lai Alabi served as Bukola Saraki’s Chairman of Songa Farms and several development funds in Kwara State. Lai Alabi’s first task as the new head of Intercontinental Bank was to summon the board of directors to write off N 8.1 Billion out of the N11 Billion owed by Saraki and which were surprisingly, well collateralize with choice assets in Ikoyi, this write-off was strongly condemned by the CBN examination report of May 2010 which complained about the massive loan forgiveness, calling it “cash gift.” The examiners also questioned the rationale behind the return of the collaterals to Saraki. Yet, Mr Lamido never acted since he was only satisfying his benefactor. Curiously, before Lamido’s takeover of Intercontinental bank, the bank’s inter-bank takings was N73 Billion, with no record of the bank’s indebtedness to the CBN but by the time the bank was sold, it was owing the CBN N100 Billion and other banks N300 Billion. Contrary to Lamido’s claim that he injected N100 Billion to revive Intercontinental bank, the bank’s balance sheet as the time of takeover was N1.6 Trillion. The bank had 330 branches, 2 foreign subsidiaries, 12,000 employees and paid-up capital of N230 Billion. If the takeover of Intercontinental bank and the replacement of its employees by former employees of defunct Societe Generale Bank were not surprising enough, the sale of the bank to Access was the most fraudulent in Nigeria’s banking industry history. In 2011, Aig Imokhuede, founder of Access Bank and a debtor of Intercontinental Bank began talks with the Sanusi Lamido-led Central Bank of Nigeria to acquire Intercontinental Bank Plc. Further to the approval of the shareholders of Intercontinental bank and Access Bank, court sanction of the Federal High Court of Nigeria and approval of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Securities & Exchange Commission, Access Bank Plc (“Access”) and Intercontinental Bank Plc (“Intercontinental Bank”) announced the completion of the recapitalization of Intercontinental Bank and the acquisition of 75% majority interest in Intercontinental Bank by Access Bank Plc. In effect, Intercontinental Bank (including all its assets, liabilities and undertakings) became a subsidiary of Access Bank Plc. Aluko & Oyebode acted as Transaction Counsel to Access Bank Plc in connection with its acquisition of Intercontinental Bank Plc. The question is how did Aig Imokhuede and Herbet Wigwe acquired Intercontinental Bank? Africa Inquirer obtained a loan document showing how Aig Imokhuede and his partner Herbert Wigwe (current MD Access Bank) used a company called United Alliance Company of Nigeria to borrow over N16 billion from Intercontinental Bank under Akingbola. The duo tactically delayed payment of the loan. Aig wrote to Mr Lai Alabi twice rescheduling the payment of the loan which were allegedly written off by the CBN before the forced controversial acquisition of the bank by Access. Our investigation later discovered that, the delay tactics was part of the plan of Saraki and Lamido to sell Intercontinental Bank to Aig Imokhuede who took loan from Akingbola’s bank to acquire Access Bank. Lamido’s CBN used AMCON to deplete Intercontinental bank’s assets before selling it to Access bank. Since Access bank is owing Intercontinental Bank N16 Billion, where did it get the N50 Billion to purchase Intercontinental Bank? Africa Inquirer discovered that Aig Imokhuede, sourced for the N50 Billion from Bank of Industry. Evelyn Oputu, Former CEO, Bank of Industry Evelyn Oputu, Former CEO, Bank of Industry As at this time, the Managing Director of Bank of Industry was Mrs. Evelyn Oputu, Aig Imokhuede’s mother-in-law. With impunity, under the supervision of Malam Lamido as the CBN Governor, N50 billion was paid to Intercontinental bank account in the evening, and immediately after the acquisition of Intercontinental Bank was announced, Aig Imokhuede, transferred the N50 Billion back to the Bank of Industry. By implication, Aig and his group paid nothing for Intercontinental Bank. Mrs. Oputu is being investigated by the Financial Reporting Council for alleged fraudulent practices as the Managing Director of the Bank of Industry.

WorldRichest: Thank God I opened this thread and read through. This is one of the reason I know Nigeria is a country of thieves running thieves. I did not know much about Wigwe but I worked in a bank for two years and when I saw his demise I knew he was no different from the other corporate thieves. I had been studying Nigeria stock for potential investment in the future and it never makes sense. In the west you can make good money trading stocks but not in Nigeria. Thank you for sharing your experience, I will do well to avoid Nigeria cooperate thieves 1 Like |

VULCAN: I don't need your support my brethren. Ogun and Aiyelala already kee one of them and his family. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has been disgraced and humiliated twice. Bukola Saraki is fighting to keep his ancestral home from being pulled down in a state where he, his father, sister and whole family once looted for decades. Just watch as the gods deal mercilessly with them all. As for Erastus Akingbola, he is still enjoying his life while his enemies are going through hell on earth. He isn't clean either, I am was an insider in some aspects of the whole banks illegal takeover then, so I know what went on. The gods will settle the cases. Erastus Akingbola didn't loot the Bank, or do you know anyone that went to Intercontinental Bank then, and couldn't get his money? Erastus Akingbola, Cecelia Ibru of Oceanic, Francis Atuche of PhD and others only give Loans to their own private companies and friends. If you are a Bank MD, won't you give Loans to your friends who can afford to pay back? Won't you give Loans to yourself to run other businesses to make more money as long as you can pay back? Is it your enemies you will be giving loans ? 3 Likes 1 Share |
