EFCC traces cash to Kwara ex-governor AbdulFatah Ahmed's wife Omolewa Ahmed and Leah Charity Foundation's accounts




THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has traced some of the looted N2 billion for Small and Medium Enterprise Development (SMED) in Kwara State to the account of a former First Lady in the state.

The First Lady, who has so far refunded N3 million, has refused to report to the anti-graft agency for interrogation.


She told EFCC that she was indisposed but silent on the nature of her illness. She also has not presented any medical report.

The commission might stop her from traveling abroad under any guise.

Also, a royal father, who was given N78 million out of the N2 billion, might be arrested for refusing to refund the slush funds.

It was learnt that one of the market women used a share of her illicit allocation to organise the disruption of Tradermoni outing in Ilorin by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

The ex-First Lady had illegally collected cash from the N2 billion which she diverted to her foundation.

But detectives discovered that instead of using the cash for SMED, she converted it to promote herself.

The objective of the foundation is to “initiate and implement strategies to deal with Cultural, Socio-economic, Health and Wellbeing issues militating against the development of Children, Youth and Women with the slogan Life Empowered Anchors Hope LEAH

A reliable source, who spoke in confidence, said: “Our detectives are on the trace of the ex-First Lady. We accorded her much respect but she has been avoiding interrogation.

“Without honouring our invitation, she later sent the director of her foundation to refund N3 million to EFCC. But we need her to come for interaction on the looted funds traced to her. She is claiming to be sick but no evidence of any medical report.

“If she does not appear before EFCC detectives, we are going to watch-list her and prevent her from traveling abroad.”

Responding to a question, the source added: “Some of the suspects already quizzed have implicated the ex-First Lady. There is also evidence of allocation of funds from the N2 billion for SMED to her account.

“Selected and influential market men and women across the 16 local government areas of the state received N5 million each as loans, but did not payback.

“One of the market women used a share of her illicit allocation to organise the disruption ofTradermoni outing by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

“About 50 percent of the controversial loans were shared by highly placed individuals and selected businessmen and women at the expense of other beneficiaries.”

As at press time, there were indications that a First Class royal father, who collected N78 million out of the SME bazaar, might be arrested for refusing to refund the cash.

The source said: “There were no justifiable reasons for the allocation of the N78 million to the ruler. The money was also not used for farming which he got it for.

“The traditional ruler has been running around for soft landing. But the issue at stake is about public funds. We may arrest him any moment from now.”

The EFCC has so far arrested the Director-General, Kwara State Bureau of SMED, Segun Soewu, over alleged N2billion fraud.

Some of those arrested were: Ogudu Samuel of Brightway Micro-finance; A.K. Imam of Magajin Garin MFB; Adeleke M.S. of Sincere Micro-Finnace Bank(MFB); Yusuf Muideen of Balogun Fulani MFB; Issa Abdulrasheed of KCMB Mfb, and Oyebode Asimiyu of Apels MFB.

Others include Lawal Ayo of Omu-Aran MFB; Tope Eniola of Iludun MFB; Lawal Folashade of Stockcarp MFB; Yusuf Tajudeen of First Heritage MFB; and Olawoye E.O. of Offa MFB.

The EFCC began the probe of the N2 billion following intelligence reports alleging fraudulent misappropriation and mismanagement of the cash to assist market men and women across the 16 Local Government Areas of the state.

All the MFBs failed to follow due process and the SME cash was also distributed to highly-placed politicians, and prominent people in the 16 local government areas in the state.

Saraki laughs heartily with Atiku

Saraki mopes at Osinbajo


Pictures are a thousand words

Saraki is looking at Osinbajo medically. Saraki is a medical doctor.

FarahAideed:
Aisha Buhari and her daughters are also known to shop at Selfridges and Harrods so I don't get where the EFCC is going ...EFCC has continually failed to establish that the contributions into Patience Jonathans account all came from proceeds of crimes or corruption as against Patience Jonathan submission that they were all procceeds of gifting and goodwill ..Anyone that has done business in Nigeria knows that at the end of every successful business transaction gifting in appreciation is usually done to the spouse of an Oga in the organization especially when you are not sure if the Oga will accept anything from you and not most of such gift are given without you being even asked to do so ....

EFCC should tell us how Aisha paid for bag and watch

eyinjuege:


I quite agree with you.
Evil people everywhere
Fake foundations everywhere

The worst are the fake pastors and devilish deaconesses

Karma will visit them all

Osinbajo ole

Fake Pastor has revealed himself to be a thief

Looter. Fantastically corrupt

Hardrock1:
You're right,that is Gbemisola Saraki's mum not Bukola's mum.

That was a foolosh lie put out by Gbemisola when she ran for governor (and failed to win) to excuse her inordinate ambition of trying to seize power from her blood brother. They have the same mother.

sinceraconcept:
in Islam,wasteful spending is not allowed in marriage,instead,the money you would spend ,part of it should be used to invest and large part of it should be given to the bride as what we call Saddaki. She can do whatever she wants with the Saddaki,most brides use theirs for business. Islam doesn't encourage inviting musicians to come and sing lewd music that would make the wedding another point of meeting for fornication,no alcohol,etc or just renting big event centre,killing cows,etc just for a day wedding.
Blocking the road for wedding,even for praying are sins in Islam because you obstruct the passage of people.

Nigerians forever taking panadol when there is no headache. The Saudi Arabian Muslims that are custodians of the Prophet's birthplace and teachings have the most lavish weddings in the world. Ishaq is just stingy. That is all

If Indimi thinks this gallivanting about is his presidential campaign he should continue. He has entered one chance. They will chop his money and go.

yarimo:
So because he is a governor he shouldn't own a house in abuja abi? YAHAYA BELLO is a wealthy man since before he became governor of kogi state, DINO MELAYE keep on fooling your self by thinking you can distract the governor. Mumu senator of the year and worst senator since kogi state was created

Where was this hooligan Johnny just come Yahaya Bello ever wealthy? The fellow is a grand looter.

dawahlarry:

It is very good to always keep mute on things you don't have knowledge about. You better stop reading fake stories up and down and grab your Quran for knowledge.


In Chapter 33 known as al-Ahzab, verse 59, Allah gives the following command to Prophet Muhammad:

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ, قُلْ لأَزْوَاجِكَ وَ بَنَاتِكَ وَ نِسآءِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ: يُدْنِيْنَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ جَلاَبِيْبِهِنَّ...
“O Prophet! Say to your wives, your daughters, and the women of the believers that: they should let down upon themselves their jalabib.

What is all this extreme Islamic dogma from Buhari Media Organisation's Ibrahim Garba Wala? Instead of the hypocrites to pray for Buhari to recover they are attacking Saraki's daughters? What was a so called devout muslim even doing looking at somebody else's wife and daughters? Anyway who does not know the saying that "oju imale kin kuro n'di oti"?? All these bigots should look at their own black sack clad wives.

TijaniAbu:


Bola Tinubu cannot be doing juju and dare take Baba Adini title, he knows that is the day he will meet his maker. By the way, his daughters are very wild things. See the daughter of of your pious muslim Jagaban who is not an enemy of Islam ko? Jagaban e-rats in glass houses should not throw stones. Asiwaju of lewdness. Friend of Islam father of hijab wearing un-clad daughter. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, see your life? Upon all the money Tinubu stole to put in this young woman's hsbc account in Great Portland Street UK, she has surpassed her father's sins of deceit.

That is the type of hijab nairaland commenters praise, stark nudity under transparent hijab. And that is Tinubu the media controllers daughter? Sad.

adem30:


You are right Bro. He is just a Political Muslim.
I remembered when they gave his wife a Muslim name when he became Governor. She rejected it immediately

You are a dirty liar. What does it profit you to tell lies on another man's wife. Mrs Toyin Saraki is née Ojora, her father is a Muslim, as such she has had Muslim name from birth. Whether she chooses to be called by Muslim name or not is her private business.

delman88:



THIS IS WRONG

It is wrong of nairaland to continue to encourage religious hatred, infringement of privacy, inciting and publishing defamatory statements by nairaland commenters against Saraki's children and family, 2 of whom are underaged. All such posts should be deleted. It is disgusting and reprehensible that most libellous commenters are known voltrons of vice president Yemi Osinbajo. The presidency should be ashamed of themselves, after all, did Saraki's son not graduate from the same LSE that Osinbajo struggled to read masters as a mature student? Osinbajo and his team will be better advised to face lifting the country from economic decline than attacking Saraki's children.

iamrealdeji:
that Fatai Ahmed is no doubt the most foolish governor in Nigeria. Saraki treats him like a slave. I heard Saraki slapped him at Emir's palace when he raised a point about unpaid salaries of local government workers and the man was just looking like lucozade.
Fatai is not even fit to be the head of nuclear family talkless of a whole state. Saraki just hand picked him because he's foolish.
only thing about Fatai is that he's handsome,I don't see anything in him that warants making him governor

Fatai Ahmed handsome? O ga o is it the kwara governor you saw and said he's handsome? You need eye test

Elohor Oguntimehin aka Freda Francis wages of sin. She does not know who fathered her child out of the numerous men she sleeps with. Her hoe-dom come.

Imagine a Sai Babarian like Babachir Lawal asking "who is the presidency" after just finishing a meeting with vice president Osinbajo, when told he is being suspended and queried? His outburst is pregnant with meaning. The day will come too late for Buhari to be saved when he realises his vice president is working against him. Is this Babachir Lawal not the same lawless grasscutting Looter that Buhari told to shun Senate summons? Who is the presidency indeed!

They lose the cases because the cases were political persecution witch hunts that had no basis being brought in the first place. The executive is just attacking people perceived not to support them, which is abuse of process and abuse of office. When this executive has been voted out of office, they themselves will be on the receiving end of abuse of office prosecutions. Using government agencies and processes to wrongly attack citizens.

Mmaxix:
Still wondering why these girls have not been allowed to go home and get on with their lives. Why are they still in the custody of the government till date ? They should naturally overcome such a traumatic experience under the support and love structure of their families. Looks like its from one kind of captivity to another....just wondering

These girls in the pic cannot go home because they never came from Chibok in the first place. Mrs Osinbajo's fakery is just too much, she carried ready made blanket there to pretend to be teaching girls to knit. This should be embarassing, but the powers that be are shameless.

Nobody. Buhari would be dead by then.

Wealth of ages looking demure.

xpool:

It is the senate not Saraki, it is a joint decision, and it is the business of the senate not yours.
Senate presidents have been impeached before, not even once, not twice and they were deemed normal senate practice, why so much noise on this.

They are making noise because Ndume kept the secrets of the dullardeen herdsmen. He is a Boko Haram sympathiser. Lousy fellow

Dem no invite Magu? Na only dis lying fake pastor dem see to call?

SalamRushdie:


Please can you tell me one legitimate action Buhari can take against Saraki

Buhari and Osinbajo took so many illegitimate and illegal failed actions against Saraki, looks like God is punishing them

What type of a name is even David Ibiyeomie? Sounds like a 419er. All these fake pastors all over d place.

See Magu howling with self righteous indignation? The Sun has not even given him the Saraki Treatment! They should have listed his houseboy's wife's rich uncle's bank manager's client's property and accused him of not declaring the dustbin clearing price. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

It is now clear that Sambisa is not a forest, and was never a forest. Only Buhari and Osinbajo know why they lied.

malton:


The mother was born privileged and never had to depend on Niger Delta oil.

Not everyone lives off of oil money.

Dunce!

The mother was born privileged and never had to depend on Niger Delta oil? Abeg no lie. The primary school certificate mother and this her daughter with their oversized chin of life like axe that can chop yam are products of PTF loot of old.

RIP. End time retreat for one chance wives.

DLondonboiy:
The victims medical bill cannot exceed 10million...yet, she wants to make mouth with it...

The sarakis have been milking Nigeria since time immemorial... Helping this young lady is not something you should even mention...

bloody hypocrites.

Why are you abusing Saraki's wife when you can always go and pay the victim's bill yourself? The woman thanked Nigerians for finding the victim's family, money cannot do that, only goodwill, and social media could do that.

In this recession Dogara come add 360 thieving wives to padded budget? Na Aisha Halliburton send am abi wetin? Buhari no dey to send dem to za oda room. Excellency ko excellency ni. Rubbish and nonsense 2 day money squandering retreat. Thieves.

God forbid. Reno is on his own. God should remove both Buhari and Osinbajo.

sarrki:
With the stolen billions ?

It's a good gesture if it's pure money

We love corruption in Nigeria

Which lie of which stolen billions? You better shut that your dirty lying mouth before God shuts it for you permanently.

I love Toyin Saraki for the way she goes about helping pregnant women survive, something she has been doing before her husband entered politics. You didnt see the Nigerian woman that delivered quadruplet in UK that 2 died and UK government is shouting health tourism for the woman to pay £500,000 pounds? Toyin Saraki in Nigeria is helping women survive childbirth even of triplets and you are talking rubbish and spinning lies. May God prevent your helper from meeting you in your hour of need.
