Jonathan Initiates Probe Of AGF Adoke! by Nobody: 12:01am On May 10, 2013 |
President Goodluck Jonathan may have taken the first anti-corruption step of his presidency against a highly placed government official: Mohammed Bello Adoke, Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation. In a letter to Otunba Dino Melaye, Executive Secretary of the Anti-Corruption Network, the Nigeria Police Force announced that it is investigating the allegations of corruption, abuse of office and incompetence leveled against the Minister last month in a petition his group sent to the President. The letter invites Mr. Melaye, to the Police Force Headquarters tomorrow, May 10, in connection with the investigations. Signed by Commissioner of Police Alli Amodu, it says that theInspector-General of Police directed that a full-scale investigation be conducted into the allegations by the X-Squad which he leads. It would be recalled that on April 4, the Anti-Corruption Network sent a petition to President Godluck Jonathan in which it accused the Minister of massive corruption, abuse of office and gross incompetence, and asked the President, if his war against corruption was serious, to fire him. The petition contained a lengthy chronicle of allegations against the Minister. On April 11, the Network wrote another petition in which it reminded President Jonathan of its original petition, and again called on him to get rid of the Minister. Prior to those activities, in February, another group of anti-corruption campaigners, the Anti-Corruption Coalition, called on Mr. Adoke to resign his office or be prosecuted for “aiding and abetting” corruption in the country. Similarly, in a report published in January 2012, iReports-ng.com accused Mr. Adoke of secretly operating four secret accounts in which he had $40 million US dollars, 5.3 million Great Britain Pounds and N6.2billion Naira. The Minister denied the reports. If rumours of the police investigation are true, this will be the first time that Mr. Jonathan is initiating the probe of a member of his cabinet, several of whom faced massive allegations of corruption and are publicly derided by the public. While this police investigation will be a major boost for the legion of anti-corruption campaigners in the country, one of them raised an immediate flag this evening. “If Mr. Jonathan actually intends to be taken seriously, he ought to have suspended the Minister while these investigations are going on,” he said. “You cannot leave him in a position where he can influence, and will most likely influence this so-called investigation. Besides, what is the structure of this investigation? Will the public be invited to testify? Will whistleblowers be encouraged? Where do people who have information send it?” While it seems the police will question Mr. Melaye and askedhim for documents during their meeting tomorrow, it is important to remember that the former federal legislator does not enjoy the best relationship with them. Only last month, he reported that he had been the victim of an assassination attempt in Abuja. The police denied the claim. link: http://saharareporters.com/news-page/president-jonathan-initiates-probe-agf-mohammed-adoke 2 Likes |

From i-Reportsng: 'In our earlier postings, we had reported that “Weeks of underground investigations by ireports-ng.com have however revealed more shocking details about Adoke’s secret bank accounts in the nation’s federal capital territory, Abuja. One of such is an account number 002228052782 at a branch of First City Monument Bank located at Plot 252 Herbert Macaulay Way, Central Area Abuja. In the account is a stunning sum of $16 million US dollars. Further investigations revealed that Adoke is keeping yet another $24 million US dollars in account number 041152000428 with Diamond Bank located at Plot 117 Adetokunbo Ademola Street, Wuse 2 while another 5.3 million Great Britain Pounds is also kept in the same account with Diamond Bank. As if that was not enough, ireports-ng.com also revealed that Nigeria’s Justice Minister operates another secret account with the Ahmadu Bello Way branch of Zenith Bank, Abuja where a whooping sum of N6.2 billion is being kept.” ' http://ireports-ng.com/2012/01/22/nigerias-attorney-general-bello-adokes-mansions-in-london-dubai-uncovered-sends-security-agents-after-ireports-ng-com-editors/ Hmmm... These bankers have really goofed. When the chips are down, Adoke might even turn around to sue the banks for breach of fiduciary trust, if the allegations are true. I guess those are more reasons why these looters prefer Swiss and Cayman Island bank accounts. But what does one plan to do with all these money bikonu? Is he an atheist? |

hmmmm!!! see as people they shout. so because they said he has large amount of money(to which he denied), y'all are acting like its true. i am not For or Against him, infact, i don't give a damn about him, but we shouldnt jump to conclusion because someone said something, we need facts/proof. With this our attitude if someone says my father has 30 million USD in a swiss acount, y'all would sentence him as charge without proof/evidence Summary, We need evidence to back-up this claim against Bello Adoke 1 Like |

NO LONG TIN: hmmmm!!! see as people they shout. so because they said he has large amount of money(to which he denied), y'all are acting like its true. i am not For or Against him, infact, i don't give a damn about him, but we shouldnt jump to conclusion because someone said something, we need facts/proof. Why did Adoke not take action against ireports at the time the allegations were first tendered, if he felt his reputation had been unjustly besmirched? Those of us who followed events closely at the time, vividly recall his rather terse defence, which did little to dampen the import of these allegations or even assuage concerns harboured by the Nigerian public. That it has taken this long to even get to the point where a "probe" is initiated simply goes to show how matters relating to corruption continue to be treated with levity in our society. Mr. Adoke told Pointblanknews that he indeed owns the accounts, but claimed the deposits in the said accounts were not up to the amounts published by Ireports-ng. But the minister’s attempt to understate his staggering cash holdings has triggered more revelations of his financial shenanigans. iReports.ng has released more devastating information about Mr. Adoke’s ties to and financial involvement with several companies that have ripped Nigerians off in fuel subsidy scams. The site reported that some of Mr. Adoke's close allies, infuriated with his despicable role to put down the on-going nationwide strike in the country, have provided documents that lay bare the minister's stupendous wealth hidden in over 25 blue chip companies in Nigeria – including firms that have reaped fraudulent profits from the contentious oil subsidy funds. A rundown of the documents made available to ireports-ng.com reveal that Mr. Adoke is a major investor in Oando Oil, a firm that gulped down more than N228 billion out of the N1.4 trillion shared by about 100 oil marketers between January and August, 2011. The website’s investigation indicated that the Justice Minister owns an investment of about N1.5 billion in Oando Oil PLC. A top-level political source in Abuja who is close to President Goodluck Jonathan told SaharaReporters today that the attorney general’s cozy relationship with some of the oil marketers was the reason the government has refused to pursue the option of prosecuting fraudulent profiteers who have cheated Nigerians of hundreds of billions of naira in the name of fuel subsidy.
