EFCC Uncovers Alleged Theft Of Another N40billion By Ex-nimasa DG, Akpobolokemi by wachakuta(m): 8:32am On Dec 16, 2015 |
A day after he was re-arrested in front of the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, has slammed two separate charges on Patrick Akpobolokemi, a former Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, and others. In one of the new charges filed before a Federal High Court in Lagos, Mr. Akpobolokemi faces 40 counts of fraud and money laundering to the tune of N34.5billion. In the second charge filed before a Lagos State High Court, Mr. Akpobolokemi is accused of stealing N600million. Both cases are yet to be assigned even as the embattled former NIMASA chief battle to secure his release on bail, pending arraignment in court. Mr. Akpobolokemi was bundled by security operatives into a waiting bus outside the court, Monday, after he refused their directives to return with them to the EFCC office. The former Director General was re-arrested after Justice Buba Ibrahim adjourned his trial to January 18, 2016. The EFCC had instituted criminal charges to the tune of N2.3 billion against Mr. Akpobolokemi and five others before Mr. Buba. Sources at the EFCC disclosed that the Commission had to re-arrest the former NIMASA boss on Monday following fresh evidence of fraud. Mr. Akpobolokemi’s arrest is on the strength of fresh evidence that he allegedly converted the sum of N11.7billion and another N816 million meant for the development of the temporary site of the proposed Nigeria Maritime University, Kurutie, Warri South Local Government area of Delta State, for his personal use. The suspect was said to have obtained a presidential approval of N13billion through the office of the then National Security Adviser to former president Goodluck Jonathan, Sambo Dasuki, for the acquisition and development of a temporary site for the Nigeria Maritime University. Mr. Dasuki himself is facing multiple charges of fraud and embezzlement of public funds. Out of the N13billion approved for the university, N11.7billion was allegedly paid into a company suspected to be owned by Government Ekpemopolo (popularly known as Tompolo), an EFCC source said. After the said money was paid, investigation further showed that N6billion was then moved into another account belonging to one of the associates of Mr. Akpobolokemi, the source added. Also, the sum of N816million allegedly obtained through a presidential approval for the Voluntary International Maritime Organisation Members State Audit (VIMSAS) implementation in Nigeria, was allegedly diverted to Mr. Akpobolokemi’s personal use, the EFCC source further added. Mr. Akpobolokemi and seven other NIMASA staff were arraigned on December 3 before Justice Salihu Sa’idu of the Federal High Court, Lagos, on a 30-count charge bordering on conspiracy, fraudulent conversion of funds, and money laundering. The accused persons allegedly conspired to launder several billions of naira under the guise of providing security intelligence around the maritime domain. The accused who were earlier arraigned on December 4 before Justice Ibrahim Buba include Captain Ezekiel Bala Agaba, Ekene Nwakuche, Governor Ameche Juan, Blockz and Stonez Nigeria Limited and Al-Kenzo Nigeria Limited. They were arraigned by the EFCC on a 22-count charge and were granted bail in the sum of N50 million each.

Between this Akpobolokemi and Dasuki and Dokpesi, it's difficult to know whose jail term will be measured with rope. We can't really blame them. This is what you get when you have a man not competent to be a class captain presiding over affairs of 170 million people. The unfortunate thing here is that those pauperized by this senseless stealing and looting are the ones fighting to die in defence of their abusers! Any wonder why we remain backward? Jona is a hero of corruption. OZAOEKPE:Is Buhari the EFCC chairman? Has he personally arrested anyone? How has the war to retrieve our stolen common wealth affected other aspects of the economy? If anything, it is helping restore investors confidence and that of international community in our economy. Btw, I thought you guys dared him to name or arrest anyone on corruption. Now that he's doing just that, why complaining? Una never see anything. 159 Likes 17 Shares |

OZAOEKPE: What is the difference? By the way, aren't there ministers? For Finance, budget planning, power, transport, petroleum, etc. Should Buhari do their jobs for them? I like Magu's EFCC strategy. They should have hundreds of charges against these thieves and charge them to court with one charge per day. As soon as they are granted bail, they should re-arrest the ole inside the court premises and charge them again the next day. This should be done for about 2 months before they are actually arraigned for their crimes. These thieves think they are wise.

PassingShot:you asked for money to pay your final year exam, i gave you the money immediately. But, behind my back, you went to a shopping mall to get some household equipment. Who's to blame? Dasuki asked for money to get weapons for the army, Jonathan gave the order for the money. Dasuki spent part of money and deliver the rest to the military. Who's to blame? 7 Likes |

Those efcc operatives that re-arrested him knew about this new N40b fraud and they still gave him the benefit of arguing with them to enter their van or not?
