EFCC operatives have reportedly found N5 billion lodged in an account operated by the daughter of an Army General. According to an official in the antigraft agency who spoke on condition of anonymity to The Sun, investigations so far carried out into the account, showed that N10 million was sometimes deposited 5 to 6 times within a day.
The source stated that the Army general’s daughter is under 30 and recently got married. The account officer, a lady who manages the account was subsequently invited by the EFCC. She gave useful information which led to the invitation of the Army General’s daughter towards the last week of August. The source stated that she pleaded for more time to enable her attend to her infant child.
The young nursing mother eventually turned up with her mother, baby, husband and lawyer about two weeks ago. And for two days, she faced interrogation though she was not detained because she is a nursing mother. “Details of the account show that cash deposits of about N10 million were consistently paid into the account sometimes five or six times a day. The money so far deposited into that account and another in London should well be over N5 billion”, the source said.
Investigators also discovered that even though the lady was still a student in the United Kingdom, hundreds of thousands of Pound Sterling were wired into the bank account of a London based firm’s bank account for her. The firm, Carrington Whyte Consulting with Flat 4, Grove End Gardens 33 Grove End Road NW8 9LL London, as its address, was curiously registered around June 2014 and shortly after, the funds began to hit its bank account from Nigeria in torrents.
Though the Army General’s daughter is currently on administrative bail, she is however, expected to report back for further interrogation next week. “We had to study her last statements, juxtapose them with our findings and draw up fresh questions for her and with which we confront her next week”, the source explained.
I have read your publication about a NA General’s daughter
having N5bn in her account; she is 30 years old and a student in Britain. Without further investigations, EFCC
SHOULD ARREST HER FATHER IMMEDIATELY. That billion was not lottery winnings.(No Lottery in Nigeria anyway).
As a Veteran of the past Civil War, I am shocked, confused how the Name of our NA Officers have been in the Press for
corruption, stealing and enriching themselves with NA Budget
while other Ranks are suffering. What kind of human beings –
NA Officers are they promoting to Generals? Only in Nigeria
we have Generals more than Majors. If you go to NDA, after
five years , you are a General. It’s shamefull/disgracefull
to see our old NA reputation dragged to the mud.
I am happy the President was a Military General. All those NA Officers who enriched themselves should face Court Martial immediately because our Judiciary System is Corrupt.
EFCC, I have heard much about the good work you all are doing, God Bless keep it up. Do not be deterred no matter who is involved. No mercy because NA Generals have disappointed the Nation. Shame!!! Shame!!! Shame!!!
