Ikoyi Cash: We Refused To Pay Whistleblower Because He Would Go Mad – Presidency by Ebisco01: 9:51am On Nov 14, 2017 |
The Chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), has stated that the Federal Government does not want the whistle-blower who informed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission of the N13bn in an Ikoyi apartment to run mad. According to him, the FG deliberately delayed the payment because he needed to be adequately counselled before such amount would be handed over to him. Sagay said if the commission, which the whistle-blower claims is N860m, was given to him immediately, he probably would have squandered it within a month or two. The presidential adviser told Punch that, “What I gathered from my inquiry is that the man is not sufficiently stable to receive such a huge sum of money. He is like someone who will almost run mental when he gets the money and will use it in an irresponsible manner, attracting not only undesirable people but even danger to himself. “I think what they wanted to do for him was to provide counsellors. Not just counsellors for character and mental situation but counsellors who would be like consultants that would help him to really invest the money and plan in such a way that he doesn’t throw it away in five minutes. “They are trying to help him. Nobody is denying him anything. They are trying to help him but he just misunderstands the intention and like everyone that has been deprived for a long time, he is so desperate to have it, but from what I can see, if they just give him everything, it won’t last more than a month or two because so many people will start finding ways to get to him and taking their portions from him. So, they were just trying to help him but he became hysterical.” Sagay told Punch that the has decided to Federal Government to pay the whistle-blower in tranches, adding that such a method of payment would deter him from spending it all at once. He added, “It is better to pay him in tranches. I agree with the government because if not, he will throw it away. This is valuable money that government could have used for millions of unemployed and wretchedly poor people. “One man is getting it and he just wants it so that he can blow it all in five minutes? No, the government has a responsibility to see that his excitement does not end in seeing the money being thrown away irresponsibly. So, I agree with the government.” http://www.mcebisco.com.ng/2017/11/ikoyi-cash-we-refused-to-pay.html

And the By-Force consultants will be paid from the man's money, thereby slicing a sizable chunk of it from the owner. If the man choses to spend all the money in one day, it is nobody's business. Even lottery winners are allowed to spend their money anyhow they chose. Someone is infringing on this guy's rights. How can you treat a grown man like a kid? Some 'consultants' would charge him money to 'teach' him how to 'spend' his money. Story. The way this man has been treated over his own money could discourage lots of whistle blowers from blowing their whistle. Give him his full cash. He is not a kid! Lalasticlala is this fair? 4 Likes |

How convenient, the person that stashed away the money hasn't gone mad it is now this innocent young man who found it is at the risk of going insane abi. Well from all indication it now seems the owner of that money has been found and his money refunded so where to raise the 850million for this man's compensation is now a problem. 2 Likes |

What ain't we going to hear from Bubu and his deranged aides? A whistle blower that was sane enough to conceal his identity while divulging the info to FG and up till now, has just been seen as being mentally unstable by Bubu's government. It seems Bubu now has Senior Special Assistant on 'madness' who can always tell him who is mad and who isn't. Awon olofo! |

It's okay to say he might misuse the money. Let the government prepare to hire a counselor and economic adviser for him and pay for the experts from the commission they supposed to pay the whistle blower. |
