Shocker: EFCC Traces Fresh N3.145bn to Fani-Kayode, Falae, Udenwa, Others

  According to multiple online sources, yesterday, EFCC investigators said they had uncovered evidence showing how some people allegedly shared N3.145billion in the build up to the 2015 presidential election. They’re: former aviation minister and director of media for the Goodluck Jonathan Campaign organization, Femi Fani-kayode. Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation and leader of the SDO, Olu Falae; a former finance minister, Nenadi Usman; a former Imo state governor, Achike Udenwa; former minister of state for foreign affairs, Viola Onwuliri and politician Okey Ezenwa The money was paid by the CBN into the account of the Ministry of External Affairs’ Library, from where it was moved into the account of a private firm, Joint Trust Dimension Nig. Ltd, with Zenith Bank from where it was shared. Fani-Kayode was the alleged chief beneficiary, receiving N840m, paid in 3 tranches into his Zenith Bank, Maitama branch, with number 1004735721. The first tranche of payment of N350m was made on February 19, 2015. Another N250m was on February 19, 2015 while N240m moved into the account on March 19, 2015. The balance on this account as at December 31, 2015 was N189, 402.72. When contacted by PREMIUM TIMES, Fani-Kayode said: “The funds were paid into my account by Nenadi Usman, who was director of finance of the Goodluck Jonathan campaign. The campaign asked me to open an account for my campaign directorate, which I did. They then paid the money in for the assignment I was given. I asked them where the money came from. They said it was from private contribution for the Jonathan campaign. I believed them, and I had no way of knowing exactly where the money came from. As far as I’m concerned, it was campaign funds, and the money was used for the purpose for which it was meant. And we accounted for it to the man who gave us a job to do, President Jonathan.” image Culled

Am an International Journalist, Events planner and Blogger whose media journey dates back to June 2002 as a TV presenter with the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) Ile-Ife Osun State while I was having my National Diploma in Mass Communication. I left NTA in 2005 to pursue my B.SC in Mass Communication at the Olabisi Onabanjo University OOU Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State and finished in 2008 before joining one of Nigeria's best investigative Tabloids (National Enquirer Magazine & www.enquirermag.blogspot.com). I am very privileged to be trained by one of the industry's bests, my boss and mentor Mr. Tunde Moshood Jr, the former Editor of the defunct Fame Magazine, Publisher of National Enquirer and president Miss Global Nigeria who taught me everything I know in Journalism especially the investigative aspect which is the fulfilment of being a member of the Fourth Estate of Realm (as we journalists are usually officially addressed). My desire to take my journalism practice beyond the Newspaper & Magazine came from the passion I have derived over the years from investigative journalism as Online Media is the best platform to tell a story or news the very minute it’s at your disposal without wasting time. I promise to serve you nothing but exclusive and interesting news, interviews, events, articles from around the world and please feel free to email me on faith.irabor@faithirabor.com on spotted errors as well as ideas that would make me do better as there is no perfect being anywhere except God.
