CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA IS A SERIOUS ISSUE!!!

1. Two former senior public officers returned about N8Bn to FG to avoid being prosecuted.

* Former AG-F Jonah Ogunniyi Otunla (2011-2015), returned N6.3B

* Ex-CG of Customs Abdullahi Inde Dikko (2009 - 2015), returned N1.9B

2. Otunla claimed that the now suspended acting Chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, promised him that he would not be prosecuted, should he return funds traced to him, companies linked to him, and his associates.

3. In line with the agreement, Otunla said one of the companies linked to him – Stellar Vera Development Ltd – refunded N750m; another company – Damaris Mode Coolture Ltd – refunded N550m, while the two firms later made additional joint refund of N2,150,000,000.00.

4. He added that, at a point, he raised several bank cheques for N10m in favour of the EFCC which he handed to its Economic Governance Section.

Otunla said in all he made a refund of N6,392,000,000.00 to the Federation Account through the EFCC.

5. Dikko, said he entered an agreement with the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami “to return $8m or its equivalent in naira atN197 to a dollar.”

6. Dikko explained, in one of the court documents, that shortly after he retired, he entered in an agreement on May 25, 2016 with the AGF and the Director General of the State Security Service.

7. The ex-Customs boss said he met with the two FG's representatives at the International Hotel, Park lane, Mayfair, London, during which Malami directed him “to return $8m or its equivalent in naira, at N197 to a dollar so as to prevent the FG of Nigeria from prosecuting me.”

8. Dikko said he fully complied with the directive of the AGF by paying the money in its naira equivalent.
