EFCC has all it needs to prosecute Atiku, Aisha Buhari, Kachikwu, others – U.S

The Haliburton scandal involving prominent Nigerians and disgraced congressman Williams J. Jefferson, is still a hot topic

– The United States has said the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has all it needs to prosecute all those implicated in the scandal including

– Wife of the president, Mrs Aisha Buhari and former vice president, Atiku Abubakar are one of those mentioned in the scandal

A report by Point Blank news has revealed that the United States of America has furnished the EFCC with all the details it needs to prosecute implicated Nigerians in the Halliburton scandal.

According to the report, Peter Carr, spokesman of the DOJ confirmed the sentencing memo of Jefferson which indicted Mrs Buhari, Atiku and others but declined to speak further on the issue in an email.

Wife of the president, Hajiya Aisha Buhari’s name has featured in the Halliburton scandal time and again.

A source in DOJ also squealed that because Jefferson is currently appealing some of his convictions, DOJ may not want to comment further on the matter.
Meanwhile, the sentencing memorandum obtained from the U.S District Court Eastern District of Virginia listed as exhibit, a wire transfer to congressman Jefferson from an account owned by Mrs Buhari.

US Congressman William Jefferson is currently in jail for the Halliburton scandal

A 16-count indictment, returned by a federal grand jury in Alexandria, charged Jefferson with solicitation of bribes from Nigeria and other places, honest services wire fraud, money laundering, obstruction of justice, violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, racketeering, and conspiracy.

The indictment alleges that from in or about August 2000 through in or about August 2005, Jefferson, while serving as an elected member of the U.S. House of Representatives, used his position and his office to corruptly seek, solicit and direct that things of value be paid to Jefferson and his family members in exchange for his performance of official acts to advance the interests of people and businesses who offered him the bribes.

The U.S Justice Department had at the time requested the EFCC through a letter dated June 22, 2006 to investigate Mrs Buhari and several others linked with bribing congressman Jefferson.

Mrs Buhari, Atiku Abubakar, Dumebi Kachikwu (brother to current minister of petroleum, Ibe, Otunba Fashawe (close associate of former President Olusegun Obasanjo), Aliyu Maigari and others were named in a long chain of Nigerian and American bribe takers that spirited about $45 million—for a technology transfer deal—to the US between 1996 and 2002.

Atiku, chairing of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF), then, was, alongside congressman Jefferson, Siemens, Halliburton, and others, indicted in a U.S. Senate report sent to the EFCC for investigation in 2006.

The U.S Senate report, FBI reports and U.S Court papers on the allegations have remained with the EFCC as the anti-graft agency appears to have developed cold feet in prosecuting the Nigerians involved.

Among other things, U.S Investigators had in 2006 asked the EFCC to investigate bank records of accounts managed by Mrs Buhari. They specifically asked that the bank records should include documents relating to any wire transfers of $10,000 or more.

Jefferson is currently serving jail time in the US,while those linked to his crime are still being sort after for questioning especially in Nigeria.

A source confirmed that while Kachikwu had offered to testify against Jefferson, Mrs Buhari stayed away from the FBI probe and has also stayed away from the U.S.

Interestingly, since President Muhammadu Buhari was elected as Nigeria’s leader, Mrs Buhari has never followed him to his numerous U.S trips.

The U.S Senate report, FBI reports and U.S Court papers on the allegations have remained in the coolers of the EFCC as the agency appears to be lacking the political will to carrying on the prosecution.

Who is the street journal?

Fools can believe anything...

Fayoshe see your life


Another suit coming

The source of the story is fishy... I son't believe this story, I am sorry, but I don't

Fayose would be dancing shaki bobo by now, lolzzzzz the case is going to be interesting in time to come, Buhari is only fighting corruption in one direction, he should ask EFCC to arrest Aisha and open up the case, perhaps she might not be guilty, but wat would u see, the case would be swept under the carpet as usual.

first ladies account shud be frozen

weton concern first lady here?

You read the post so?

13 SAN's loading

We all knew all along that Aisha the wife of Bubu is the scam in the core of the Halliburton scam

Aisha go to US if you are not guilty

i told many persons here on nairaland...fayose might be wrong or right...no one i repeat no one should stake anything for the political class(which includes holy buhari and his family)...

until the said buhari aisha is found and tried the first lady remains a suspect in the halliburton scam...

i intently anticipate how this wahala is gonna turn out....

thank God for that case to come alive. Any body who has evidence,should come out to save the american investor on that firm with some politican elite and greed rich nigeria

You will the story is false the moment you get to the part where she said people are trying to cover their tracks by linking her name, claiming her passport was stolen last year, lol. The investigation was carried out in USA by the FBI, and the aisha buhari name was there in 2009.

Where is this aisha speaking from? Smh

If you look at the report, she is making it look like she is being targeted typical of a Nigeria mentality, nobody cares about her.
The entire story is false,

The president's wife can't escape this one.


I see Fayose laughing last in all of these.

Now, I need popcorn

It is an unecessary distraction from the main CASH STOLEN.

Even Reno Omokiri said What Fayose Said is FALSE.

Please how many days are we going to keep talking about this issue same thread 3 days same thread yesterday same thread today when will APC plus Aisha or Asha stop talking about this if truly she is innocent why this strong term and coming up with abusive defense of herself Now I'm suspecting Aisha or Asha buhari because it's only thief that cry so loud when something got missing.

I know very soon that old fool called Lair Mohm-mad will release a statement everyday APC must have something to talk soooooooo long about to distract people from noticing their failure. Yes Fayose said so or his PA or whoever and since the Aisha or Asha denied it please what else if she is not please she can take a legal action, please we are tired of Buhari, his wife and his party not letting us sleep always talk talk and talk go and deliver Hell No only blablablablablabla...............................................................

Waiting for EFCC to freeze Aisha Mohammedu Buhari's account, as she is now a subspect!

Oya let the former efcc boss that released her name and passport come out and defend his claims, since he said he knows her.
