NIMASA DG BOSS ASK EFCC TO PROBE THE N1.5TRILLON ALLEGATION AGAINST HIM
The Managing Director of Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency Dr. Bashir Jamoh has asked the chairman of Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) to investigate an allegation leveled against him by one Jackson Ude.
Recall, that Ude accused Bashir Jamoh in a series of tweet of diverting N 1.5tn into his personal accounts.
He also alleged that Jamoh diverted US$9,557,312.50 to his personal account.
In the letter addressed to EFCC on Tuesday, Jamoh asked the agency to investigate the “ insidious and perniciously damaging “effect of the alleged money laundering on the government of the country.
"I write to bring to your attention the attached online publications and tweets that have gone viral since Friday 21 of May 2021,” the letter reads.
“The publications emanated from a series of tweets of one Jackson Ude alleging the sums of N1.5tn and another US$9,557,312.50 were traced to my personal account.
“The allegation of money laundering which impugns my integrity, character and family name has been circulating on social media also suggested that the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria be invited by security agencies to give reasons why such huge sums of money were transferred to my personal account instead of the Treasury Single Account.
“In view of this weighty allegation and the insidious and perniciously damaging effect on the government and the country, I hereby request that a thorough and painstaking investigation be carried by your commission with a view to unravelling the truth or accuracy of the allegation. This is to put the record straight in the public domain, please.”
