Ex-Finance Minister's Son's Account.......
🔛
A bureau de Change Operator has told the
Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC)
that N115 billion was paid into his
account for the son of a former
Minister of Finance.
Salisu Umaru said he did not know what the
minister's son used the cash for. The former minister
and his son were not named "so as not to jeopardise
the investigation". The cash is believed to be part of
the $2.1 billion "phoney" arms deals funds.I
Salisu, who gave the EFCC details of how the
N1.5billion was wired into his company's account,
said he never knew what the cash from the Office of
the National Security Adviser (ONSA) was meant for.
He said : "I was invited by EFCC and when I reported,
I was shown my company's account statement with
Zenith Bank called Jabama Ada Global Nigeria Limited
in which there was an inflow of N500million on
5/2/2015 and N1billion on 16/4/2015 into the
account from the Office of the National Security
Adviser.
"On the inflow of N500million into my company's
account on 5/2/2015, I wish to state as follows :
That on the same date(5/2/2015), I paid the
equivalent of US$2,380,952 to the son of the minister,
being the equivalent of the said N500million at the
rate of N210 per dollar.
"I do not know what he used the money for. My own
business is to buy and sell dollars. It is only the
minister's son that can explain what the money was
meant for. The minister's son signed and collected
the said N500million.
"On the N1billion inflow into my company's account
on 16/4/2015, I wish to say the money was
disbursed as follows: $1,000,000, being the
equivalent of N220million; and $327,000 (equivalent
of N72,600,000) were paid cash to the son of the
minister while the sum of N704,400,000 was
transferred to various accounts based on the
instruction of the minister's son. He gave some of the
instructions through text messages. Some of the
instructions were also received from the father.
"I also want to state that I do not know what the
N1billion was meant for and what it was used for."
