online publication
exposed the sordid details
of a N1.2 billion mansion
just purchased by
President Goodluck
Jonathan’s Minister of
Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-
Iweala,in Maitama area of
Abuja, ireports-ng.com has
uncovered four secret
bank accounts where
billions of naira, millions
of US dollars and GB
pounds are hidden by
current Nigeria’s Attorney
General and Minister of
Justice, Mohammed Bello
Adoke.
Adoke was appointed as
Justice Minister by
President Jonathan on
April 6, 2010 and has since
then been enmeshed in
various allegations of
corruption and providing
cover for the corrupt who
are facing court trial by
withdrawing corruption
charges against them.
Weeks of underground
investigations by ireports-
ng.com have however
revealed more shocking
details about Adoke’s
secret bank accounts in the
nation’s federal capital
territory, Abuja. One of
such is an account number
002228052782 at a branch
of First City Monument
Bank located at Plot 252
Herbert Macaulay
Way,Central Area Abuja. In
the account is a stunning
sum of $16 million US
dollars.
Further investigations
revealed that Adoke is
keeping yet another $24
million US dollars in
account number
041152000428 with
Diamond Bank located at
Plot 117 Adetokunbo
Ademola Street, Wuse 2
while another 5.3 million
Great Britain Pounds is also
kept in the same account
with Diamond Bank.
As if that was not enough,
ireports-ng.com also
revealed that Nigeria’s
Justice Minister operates
another secret account
with the Ahmadu Bello
Way branch of Zenith
Bank, Abuja where a
whooping sum of N6.2
billion is being kept.
Born on September
1st,1963, Adoke was not
known for any serious
legal practice until he was
brought to the limelight in
2010 when he was
appointed as Justice
Minister by Mr Jonathan.
Since then, there has been
series of allegations of
under the table deals by Mr
Adoke using his official
position. He has in the last
48 hours issued two
statements to threaten
protesting Nigerian
workers to sack them and
charge civil society
activists involved in the
protests with treason.
Last year, an online
publication accused Adoke
of taking bribes from an
arranged sale of moribund
NITEL property in Area 11,
Abuja and buy back of
same from Adoke’s
kinsman popularly called
Alhaji AA Oil. Adoke’s share
of the deal was said to
have been diverted to
build a massive mansion
for him on Gana street,
Abuja. Though he denied
ownership of the property
saying it belongs to AA Oil,
finishing works have since
stopped on the sprawling
property which was being
worked on day and night
before the scandal broke
out.
Also last year, a civil
society group called
Coalition Against Corrupt
Leaders,CACOL petitioned
Nigeria’s anti-graft police,
EFCC to probe allegations
that Mr Adoke collected
bribes running into over $
23 million US dollars from a
plea bargain deal he
arranged between
government and some
multinational firms
including Siemens,
Halliburton and Julius
Berger.Ironically, Adoke
supervises the EFCC that is
supposed to investigate
the various corruption
allegations against him. It
is yet to be seen whether
the present head of the
agency, Mr Ibrahim
Lamorde will have the
courage to probe graft
allegations against Adoke
which his predecessor
failed to touch.
