Whistle Blower Policy Pays Off : NNPC Top Shot, Nnamdi-Ogbue Is Owner Of Flat Where EFCC Seized $43m+ Ex-PDP National Chair Is Landlord Of Luxury Apt. Complex,
Mrs. Esther Nnamdi-Ogbue
The whistle blowing policy of the Federal Government is paying off positively as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission today stormed a residential building in the 7th Floor of a four – bedroom apartment at Osborne Towers located at 16, Osborne road Ikoyi, Lagos, where a humongous find of foreign currencies and Naira notes to the tune of $43.4m, £27,800 and N23.2m was uncovered.
Sources with knowledge of the raid told THEWILL that the
funds were seized after a whistleblower in Abuja leaked the existence of
the stashed cash in a flat inside the Ikoyi luxury residential
apartment complex (Osborne Towers) located at 16 Osborne Road, Ikoyi.
EFCC sources said that the apartment where the money was
found allegedly belongs to Mrs. Esther Nnamdi-Ogbue, a managing director
at the NNPC in charge of retail, under whose watch millions of litres
of petrol belonging to the NNPC disappeared.
The products stored at tank farms operated by Capital Oil
and Gas Limited and MRS Oil in Apapa, Lagos, were misappropriated by the
companies. Nnamdi-Ogbue is believed to have been forcefully retired
from the corporation on Tuesday alongside at least two others over the
scandal.
She previously served as managing director of the
Pipelines and Product Marketing Company Limited (PPMC), a subsidiary and
cash cow of the NNPC.
More update later.
