A FORMER Chief of Staff to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Chief Mike Oghiadome, stands the risk of forfeiting two mansions
to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission after N35billion arms slush cash was traced to a member of his family.The Legal Unit of the EFCC is already processing the forfeiture of the two assets.Ogiadhome himself has been invited for questioning but he was yet to honour EFCC’s invitation at press time.A ranking member of the House of Representatives who was similarly invited, has been lobbying in the power corridor to prevail on EFCC to drop the summons.
A document obtained by our correspondent said in part: “In 2007, the UN told the Federal Government to equip the Nigerian contingents on peacekeeping missions all over the world. The UN asked the Federal Government to raise the money while it will reimburse later. “The disbursement of the N35billion spread from 2008 to 2013 with different purposes being used to divert the money.”
As for the VTB Export/ Import Limited, the contracts secured were supply of arms and ammunition and supply of arms to the Nigeria Police . “Investigation confirmed that Richfield Technologies Limited paid N320million to a member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Wole Oke for a house in Asokoro District on 2B Udo Udoma Crescent and another on Queen Idia Street. When we profiled the account of Richfield Technologies Limited, there was evidence of the transactions in another bank account. We are working on clues that it was 10% cut.
But when Donald Peterson was interrogated, he said he had been a contractor with the Ministry of Defence since 2002 but in the course of looking for more contracts, he met Oshioke Ogiadhome who told him his father was looking for a trusted person for contracts.
