What is the source of the $115million bribe for election officials to alter the results of the 2015 presidential election in favour of Goodluck Jonathan? The answers are out.
WHO GOT WHAT?
•Mrs Gesila Khan (collected N185,842,000 out of a N681m bribe)
•Fidelia Omoile (Electoral Officer in Isoko-South area of Delta State) — N112,480,000
•Uluochi Obi Brown (INEC’s Administrative Secretary in Delta State) — N111,500,000
•Former Deputy Director of INEC in Cross River State, Edem Okon Effanga — N241,127,000
•Head of Voter Education in INEC in Akwa Ibom, Immaculata Asuquo
—N214,127,000
According to findings by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the money came from the proceeds of stolen crude oil.
“Our operatives have discovered that the $115million came from stolen crude oil. They got it from former Petroleum Resources Minister Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke,” a top EFCC official revealed.
The official pleaded not to be named because of what he described as the “sensitivity of the matter”.
He added: “We will uncover how they came about the stolen crude oil and those used to siphon the oil in order to deny the nation of revenue.”
EFCC has frozen all accounts of top INEC officials and oil chiefs implicated in the $115m (N23.29b) deal.
This, said another source, is in preparation for the arraignment of some suspects, including Fidelity Bank MD, Mr. Nnamdi Okonkwo.
Charges might also be preferred against Mrs. Alison-Madueke, who the investigators believe is central to the coordination of the huge bribe given to poll officials to alter the 2015 presidential election results.
Besides, the EFCC plans to arrest owners of oil companies believed to have contributed the cash because they have failed to report for interrogation.
"Our operatives are on the trail of members of the cartel behind the theft of crude. We have blocked all the accounts of the INEC officials, bank officials and oil chiefs connected with the poll bribery scandal."
