The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said it has laid hands on a bank account with over N2.5billion opened in the name of a former female minister’s housemaid. Investigators of the anti-graft agency believe the account was opened by the former influential minister in the name of the housemaid as part of the effort to cover her track. However, preliminary investigation has shown that the former minister is the sole signatory to the account.
According to the Nation, a highly placed EFCC source said yesterday that she would be brought to justice.
“Our findings indicated that the ex-female minister opened an account in the name of her housemaid and with her photograph. But the signature in the account is that of the ex-minister,” the source said.
“At the time we made the discovery, over N2.5billion was in the account. But the volume of transactions in the account has been huge. “We are suspecting that the ex-minister did not put the housemaid in the picture of what she wanted to do with her passport photograph. “We have established that the ex-minister has been drawing funds from the said account. We have retrieved records of all transactions by the ex-Minister. We will soon bring her to justice no matter how long it takes to follow due process.”

And the innocent house maid may not even know that she was a billionaire with over 2.5billion naira in her account, she probably will still be babysitting & waiting for her 5k monthly pay. Man's inhumanity to man

Na wa oh, dis people under Jona all of them na tiff, the poor housemaid go they suffer now.. Later some people go dey insult Buhari. Although he is slow but let's Support him coz from wat I deduced here if Buhari is not clean he can't be pursuing people that are corrupt. Jona is a criminal and all under him are tiffs too. Let's allow this baba to work and straighten tinz a bit.
