Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s in-law, Bola Shagaya has been accused by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of fraustrating its effort to conclude investigations into a suspicious 1.9 billion naira found in her Unity Bank account. Shagaya who had been invited by the EFCC for investigations ignored the invitation, making the commission unable to conclude investigations and file a charge against her.
Oghare Ogbole, a female operative of the EFCC, stated this in a counter-affidavit which the anti-graft agency filed to oppose a suit filed by Shagaya to challenge the freezing of the Unity Bank account. The EFCC had placed a ‘No Debit Order’ on the account, following an interim order given by Justice Muslim Hassan of the Federal High Court in Lagos on December 29,2016.
Bola Shagaya however, filed an application, urging the judge to lift the freezing order, saying she was not given fair hearing before her account was frozen. The EFCC opposed her, insisting that the freezing order was lawfully obtained. The EFCC claimed that the 1.9 billion found in the Unity Bank was the balance of a total of N3,305,150,000, which Shagaya received as ‘founder fees’ on behalf of an organisation, women for change spearheaded by Patience Jonathan, a former first lady
The anti-graft agency revealed that, the 3.3 billion was paid by Index Petrolube Africa LTD. and its sister company, Autodex Nigeria Limited, both belonging to one Honourable Ezeani ThankGod, adding that the reason for the N3.3billion payment was to “fraudulently facilitate Dual Purpose Kerosene to ThankGod’s company.
The EFCC claimed that out of the N3.3billion, Shagaya paid a cumulative sum of 1.2billion to Mrs Jonathan and kept the balance of 1.9billion for herself. On this basis an order was secured by Justice Muslim Hassan to freeze her account. For those of you who dont know Bola Shagaya’s son is married to Osinbajo’s daughter.
