Xapio:
Where is the evidence that it was used currently? ....

Manspeaks:
Sometimes we need to set sentiments apart and focus on the veracity of an issue. I may not like this man, Dino Melaye, but we need to check the statement very well. .. Is that not February 24, 2010 I'm seeing?

Exactly the point I tried to make above.

Xapio:
Shut the fvck up. It is you that is saying it was used recently that will produce evidence to back-up your claim..

You mean Dino doesn't have to prove his innocence again

raumdeuter:


You mean Dino doesn't have to prove his innocence again

Provide the evidence or shut the fvck up..

Hahaha Dino. They have released your account number. The government can now ask for its details. Attempting to shut up social media will see you faster out of the senate than you can imagine. Social media is the voice of the people and the voice of God. If you try to shut them up, they will physically come and drag you and your friends in government on the streets of Abuja. Just mind your business and do what you were sent to do in the senate and stop acting like a child.

Shut the fvck up. It is you that is saying it was used recently that will produce evidence to back-up your claim..

What Nigerians especially their political class has failed to realised by now is that Sahara Reporter are young and vibrant bunch of good modern folk that enjoys the art of investigative journalism more than anything.
They are well funded, well connected and practice their trade in the world headquarters of information- New York. Politicians in the Western world had since realized that going toe to toe with the likes of SR is a suicide attempt on your career. They have the upper hand, they can get the most secret information and most classified if they want to.
The likes of Dino Malaye should know this and never go into a fight you have little chance winning, unless you got no other options.
SR are not Vanguard, Tribune or NTA.

WORD!

Xapio:
Thank you my brother. Sentiment is killing Nigeria more than corruption. The only thing I see in those documents is account statement in 2010. Nothing proves it was used recently...

If sahara reorters could state few days ago that dino melaye used his foreign account to do transaction with a cosmetic company on the 4th of december 2015, with the name of the company published and followed it up by revealing the account number and other documents today, you should know they may have other vital info with them. To me they are being tactful not revealing all yet. They want to outsmart dino melaye.

redhanded

urity (DSS) today issued a release disclosing that some its agents took part in robbing a Bureau De Change in Abuja. Curiously, the agency’s release, which was signed by a spokesman, Tony Opuiyo, failed to provide details of the robbery, apparently in an effort to cover up the ultimate ownership of the stolen money.
However, an investigation by SaharaReporters confirmed that the robbery took place on November 20, 2015 near the home of Senate President Bukola Saraki in Abuja.
Mr. Saraki had frequently used bureau de change agents to carry out money laundering since his days as governor of Kwara State, a fact detailed in police reports of his money laundering activities.
SaharaReporters learnt that when Mr. Saraki needed some cash with which to bribe judges handling his numerous challenges to his ongoing trial at the Code of Conduct Bureau, he often called on bureau de change agents to help transport the cash, sometimes after converting it to foreign currency, which is much easier to move around.
Our reliable sources, in confirming Mr. Saraki’s part in the bizarre heist, said the DSS had yet to determine the exact amount of cash Mr. Saraki was trying to raise at the time of the robbery, but they insisted it was in billions of naira.
A source familiar with the DSS investigations said the agency’s operatives attached to the Senate President were always aware of the senator’s procurement and movement of cash. However, on this occasion, Mr. Saraki decided not to use his DSS agents to escort the cash, since he feared “all eyes were on him and on some of his details, too.” Instead, the bureau de change operator was to make his own arrangement for police officers to accompany him as he moved the cash to Mr. Saraki’s home.
Unknown to both Senator Saraki and the bureau de change operator, the senator’s security detail had a plan of their own. They recruited some of their colleagues, including army Captain Hussein Ishaku Mshelia, to waylay the bureau de change operator on his way to Mr. Saraki’s home. The robbers stole the money by staging a perfect “sting operation.” The security agents who carried out the heist were dressed in DSS camouflage and strategically positioned themselves in and around Mr. Saraki's house.
When the delivery vehicle was about five minutes away from Senator Saraki's house, several heavily armed men dressed in DSS vests and military camouflage struck and rounded up the bureau de change operators conveying the money. The agents reportedly told the bureau de change operators that they were under arrest for money laundering, specifically for moving such a huge amount of cash without any evidence of official transaction. The three policemen hired by the bureau de change operators left as soon as the armed interceptors presented identity cards that showed that they were truly DSS operatives.
As soon as the police escorts left, convinced that the DSS agents were truly on official assignment, the armed agents, among them some DSS operatives attached to Mr. Saraki, told the bureau de change operators that they knew where the money was being moved to and aware that the deal was illegal.
When the main bureau de change operator telephoned Senator Saraki to report his trouble, the senator instructed him not to mention his name at all. But Mr. Saraki did not know that some of the agents who had planned and executed the interception and heist were his security agents. Our source said Mr. Saraki initially thought the security men who had caught the bureau de change operator were from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Thereafter, the DSS agents who planned the operation originally demanded N350 million in order to let the vehicle conveying the cash to move on. After much negotiation, they were paid N310 million.
Shortly after the robbery, the suspects were identified and detained at the agency’s headquarters in Abuja. Some of the suspects, confirmed to be SSS personnel attached to Senator Saraki, have undergone several interrogations. SaharaReporters learned that, as a result of the heist, Senator Saraki’s DSS detail, including his chief security officer, named Paul, and chief detail, named Abdulrasheed Ahmadu Maigari, had been reassigned to the DSS headquarters. Another set of DSS agents have been deployed to Mr. Saraki.
Mr. Saraki, who enjoys a cozy relationship with the Director General of DSS, Musa Lawal, personally contacted the DG to request the return of Paul, the senator’s erstwhile CSO. A source within the agency told SaharaReporters that, despite the senator’s request, both Mr. Paul and Mr. Maigari remained at the headquarters where they also underwent interrogation before the DSS released some names today.
Today’s press release, which was authorized by the DG of the DSS, was instructive in its omission of crucial details, including the date, time and location of the robbery. The omissions were designed to conceal Mr. Saraki’s role as the recipient of the stolen funds.
Below is the text of the statement by the DSS:
N310M ROBBERY-DSS ARRESTS CULPRITS: N66.4 MILLION RECOVERED
The Department of State Services (DSS) wishes to inform the general public that the Service has arrested two (2) out of five (5) of its Staff involved in the robbery and sharing, on 20th November, 2015, of the sum of three hundred and ten million naira (N310m) belonging to a Bureau De Change operator in Abuja. While three (3) of the DSS staff are now at large, the Military Authorities have commenced a detailed investigation of five (5) of its personnel involved in the crime.
Preliminary investigations have revealed that Abdulrasheed Ahmadu MAIGARI of the DSS, conspired with four (4) other colleagues of his namely: Solomon INUSA, Peter OKOYE, Patrick ISHAYA and George Mwatapwa IBBI, to carry out this reprehensible act. The five (5) military personnel were led by one Capt. Hussein Ishaku MSHELIA. Meanwhile, the Service has arrested MAIGARI and IBBI; and MSHELIA equally arrested by the Army authorities. Efforts are ongoing to apprehend those still at large. A total of Sixty-Six Million Four Hundred and Thirty Seven Thousand, Four Hundred and Forty-five Naira (N66,437,445.00) and Six Thousand Two Hundred Dollars ($6,200) have so far been recovered, while efforts are being made to recover the remaining amounts. It is to be noted that security agencies now act in concert, thus the joint investigation undertaken with the Police, Army and the DSS.
This action of the Service is in line with the posture of the current Administration and DSS management focus on professionalism, transparency and accountability. Those so far arrested have been suspended pending the completion of investigations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Service wants to reiterate its commitment to the basic ideals and principles as established by its forebears and will not spare anyone found to be contravening the rules and regulations or the laws of the land. We therefore encourage members of the public with useful information that could lead to the arrest of those at large to volunteer same to the Service or other security agency. The DSS also wishes to use this opportunity to assure all law abiding citizens of their safety and urge them to partner with the Service in the smooth discharge of its responsibilities.

Department Of State Security Robbery Scandal: Agents Stole Money Meant For Senate President Bukola Saraki
The Department of State Security (DSS) today issued a release disclosing that some its agents took part in robbing a Bureau De Change in Abuja.

datguru:
How did they get it

jamb question . ask again !

This sahara guys are really more efficient than our so called security agents

U sure say u understand Watin the guy write?. Read well before u expess.

OBAGADAFFI:


You just said the undiluted truth.

SR, is weapon in the hand of the western world, that's why they have so much information about African leaders.

Edunwa302:
This sahara guys are really more efficient than our so called security agents

Not really SO efficient.
The cheque is dated 2010 i.e. FIVE years ago.
The bank statement has NO date.

Saharareporters need to do a better muslinging job.
Not that I care about the useless Dino oh.

Eziachi:
What Nigerians especially their political class has failed to realised by now is that Sahara Reporter are young and vibrant bunch of good modern folk that enjoys the art of investigative journalism more than anything.
They are well funded, well connected and practice their trade in the world headquarters of information- New York. Politicians in the Western world had since realized that going toe to toe with the likes of SR is a suicide attempt on your career.

SR are not Vanguard, Tribune or NTA.

Sahara reporters are ' the British media and 'julia assange' of Nigeria. The greatest investigative journalism we've ever had. They are far different from the gonzo journalism we have in Nigeria

Bank of America. I believe that's B.O.A. Isn't that the bank use by most yahoo boys. Everyday you hear them say "I dey find person wey get B.O.A account" hope Dinosaur Melaye didn't do what I'm thinking when he was still showing his street credibility.

Daniel Dino Melaye aka special body guard! That's the reward u get wen u support a korrupt senator

engrfcuksmtin:
Can't give the details, from my personal interaction with Dino Melaye, THE GUY IS A BIG SCAM! His constituency, party, colleagues n Nigerians as a whole will soon know the truth about him and his likes.

Please tell us something new.

Lalasticlala its "cheque" not "check"

OrlandoOwoh:

. . . but is still being used?

His comment is cynical, to mean 'student acct indeed'. Lol

The answer is CAPITAL YES! !!

freakcin:
Excuse my ignorance chaps, but is there any law in our constitution that barrs public office holders from operating foreign accounts.

Also, is this legal? Publishing legal banking details of an individual online for the world to see.

A scene in the film, Gladiators comes to mind ' Rome Nigeria is like the mob, conjure magic for them and all else is forgotten' at this crucial point in time when we are facing all sort of crisis as a nation, Dino Melaye's bank balance should be the least of our worries.

Sahara reporters aka the first to know ... Only god knows how they always get their information first hand .. They leak information hidden by even the most powerful man in the country.

Obansanjo account details loading...

Grundig:
This shows absolutely nothing.
It doesn't say if any transaction was carried out.

One of the accounts ioperated while In theuk as a student is now dormant but I still get regular bank statements and correspondence from the bank.

Bro,that account is still very much in use.As at September 1,he withdrew $1200 Via ATM.
This is a case of one going to Scatter a Beehive.Ofcourse when the Bees scatters everywhere,he should be ready to bear the consequences.Sahara Reporters dey their own,Dino go find their trouble.

TrappKING:
Lalasticlala its "cheque" not "check"

Americans call it "check" and not "cheque" sir. Point of correction
