We
have received several calls and email messages asking us to confirm the arrest
of the sons of the Presidential Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party,
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, as being alleged in some quarters. Some only said we
raided the apartments of Atiku’s sons looking for foreign currencies. This is
nothing but another tales by moonlight.
It
is in the news that we have been investigating the former Abia governor,
Senator Theodore Orji over alleged N27 Billion Naira money laundering. In the
course of investigation, we discovered that he laundered part of the money
through his sons. We have been on the trail of some of the purchases made by
his son including the cars the boys allegedly bought.
Last
Friday, we traced one of the cars to a Nite Club in Abuja. In order not to
cause panic, we waited until the business of the club was over and when the
owner of the suspected car came to enter to take off, we arrested him and his
friend who has a similar brand of car. That was about 5am on Saturday, December
8, 2018.
The
two boys we arrested were Ogbonna Orji, 32, and Kelvin Ilonah. While Orji's
Car, a Range Rover is valued at about N100 million, Ilonah’s car also a Range
Rover, is valued at about N35 Million.
In
the course of further interrogation, the two boys led us to their apartment,
three flats, and documents retrieved from the apartment showed it was rented
for N13 million each per annum.
Another
brand new Prado Jeep, a 2017 model was recovered from the boys in the compound.
The
two boys in question gave useful information to the Commission which is helping
in our further investigation.
The
EFCC, as a responsible organisation is abreast of the establishment mandate and
we shall not deviate from such mandate.
We
never went after Atiku's sons neither were Atiku's sons among the two boys
arrested. There is no link whatsoever to Atiku.
Only
last week, the people’s Democratic Part, PDP was alleged to have raised alarm
that the Commission blocked and or freeze the accounts of the Vice Presidential
candidate of the PDP, Peter Obi. Again, this was another lie which we
immediately punctured as there was no truth in it whatsoever, to the
accusation. Till now, only silence has prevailed from the camp of the accusers.
