Eight
persons have been fingered as key figures President Muhammadu Buhari is
seriously interested in sending to prison as soon as possible. Here
they are!
Eight persons who served or
benefitted illegally during the administration of Goodluck Jonathan,
have been fingered as key figures President Muhammadu Buhari is
seriously interested in bringing back to the country to face corruption
charges.
It was gathered that President Muhammadu Buhari’s trip to the
United Kingdom in May, is expected to facilitate the extradition of
these looters who have fled the country.
Below are eight of Jonathan's men President Buhari is seriously considering sending to Kirikiri maximum prison;
1. Musiliu Obanikoro
Senator Musiliu Obanikoro is a former minister of state for Defence
and is allegedly hiding in the US. The EFCC has been on his trail in
connection to the misappropriation of $2.1 billion meant for the
purchase of arms.
The fund was disbursed through Sambo Dasuki, the former national
security adviser allegedly on behalf of the Peoples Democratic Party. It
was reported that part of the money was sent to the former Lagos
gubernatorial candidate to facilitate the rigging of the Ekiti and Osun
elections.
2. Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu
Adamu Mu’azu is a former National Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party and is wanted by the EFCC for the disbursement of
government fund to PDP zonal chairmen. He resigned his position as
chairman of the party following the defeat of the PDP at the general
elections. He is reportedly hiding in Singapore.
3. Abdulrasheed Maina
Abdulrasheed Maina is the former chairman of the Pension Reform
Task Force. He was declared wanted by the EFCC for his supposed role in
the fraudulent biometric contracts in which himself and former Head of
Service, Steve Oronsaye, and two others were fingered for stealing over
N2billion of pension funds. He has also been declared wanted by Interpol
following Nigeria’s request to apprehend the fugitive.
4. Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke
Diezani Alison-Madueke is the former minister of Petroleum
Resources during the administration of Jonathan. The former minister is
embroidered in series of corruption cases with the most notable being
the lodgement and disbursement of N2.3bn through Fidelity bank to
officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission during the
2015 elections. She is also facing cases of money laundering in the UK
where she has been hiding.
5. Ugonna Madueke
Ugonna Madueke is the son of Diezani and reportedly served as the
middle man between his mother and the managing director of Fidelity
bank, Nnamdi Okonkwo who has also been arrested by the EFCC. His
whereabouts is unknown but there are indication he is not in Nigeria. He
has been declared wanted by the EFCC.
6. Abdullahi Dikko
Abdullahi Dikko is the former comptroller-general of the Nigeria
Customs Service but voluntarily resigned in August, 2015. After his
retirement, he fled to Dubai where he has been hiding since. The house
of the former customs boss in Abuja was raided by the EFCC in January
and the EFCC has declared him wanted following his refusal to honour
their invitation.
7. Prof. Rufai Alkali
Prof. Rufai Alkali served as senior political adviser to
ex-president and also the coordinator of Goodluck Support Group. The
EFCC traced N320 million to the group and Alkali was in charge of
distributing the money to 100 pro-Jonathan groups. The money was
channeled through the account of the Ministry of External Affairs
Library, before it was moved to the Joint Trust Dimension Nigeria
Limited.
8. Mohammed Adoke
Mohammed Adoke served as minister of Justice and Attorney General
of the Federation. He is wanted in connection with the $1.1bn Malabu Oil
deal. Adoke is in The Netherlands where he claimed he is undergoing an
advanced law course. He was invited by the EFCC but has not honoured the
invitation yet. He wrote to vice president, Yemi Osinbajo saying the
EFCC invitation was curious and that some persons were planning to
humiliate him. He has not returned to Nigeria since and the EFCC are hot
on his trail.
