“I can provide you audited and classified transfers from NNPC into private accounts”
Adeyanju
ASHENEWS reports that a Nigerian activist, Deji Adeyanju, has alleged that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) are guilty of transferring money into private accounts.
The recent suspension of Betta Edu as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, on the allegation of requesting the transfer of ₦585 million into private account, has generated mixed reactions.
It is becoming evident, as can be heard from a cross section of the general public, that it is common practice among ministers and other public officials, to transfer public funds into private accounts.
Adeyanju who featured on Arise TV monitored by ASHENEWS on Sunday, called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to broaden its investigation to other public organizations.
“Edu is just one among the ministers.
“Even what she said in the heat of the moment was that it is common practice. All the ministers do it; there is nothing that Betta has done that they are not doing. Quote me anywhere today that even NNPC transfers money to private accounts.
“I can provide you audited and classified transfers from NNPC into private accounts.
“CBN (Central Bank of Nigeria) transfers money (into private accounts). Even this set of people that have taken over from the crooked (Godwin) Emefiele administration; these new guys are transferring money into private accounts.
“If the EFCC wants to fight corruption, they should not just pick up an individual but it should cut across the board,” he said while insisting that he had evidence to substantiate his claims.
