Kinsman and top aide of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Waripamowei Dudafa has reportedly had his account frozen by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the anti-graft agency was able to recover the sum of N900m from the account.
It will be recalled that Dudafa was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed Airport allegedly trying to flee the country.
The Punch reports that an EFCC source said “Dudafa told us that he had no money; so, we began to investigate his accounts. We then found N900m that was hidden in one of his accounts through the connivance of his account officer,”
“Dudafa initially denied owning the account but when he was confronted with evidence, he had no choice but to admit. Some people, who had paid money into the account based on Dudafa’s instructions, even came forward to say that the account indeed belonged to Dudafa. The N900m will be used as evidence against him in court.”
Sambo Dasuki who was the former national security adviser and is currently under fire from the EFCC over the infamous arms purchase scandal had earlier fingered Dudafa in the collection of the N10bn which was allegedly looted.
