Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) have reportedly found N5
billion lodged in an account operated by the
daughter of an Army General.
An official of the EFCC who revealed this said
that 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.
Though the Army General’s daughter is currently
on administrative bail, she is however, expected
to report back for further interrogation next
week.
