The Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission has recovered N381m from Mrs. Omolara Amosu, the
wife of the immediate past Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adesola Amosu.
Sources within the EFCC
said on Saturday that the money was recovered in three tranches: N180m, N101m
and N100m.
The detective told Punch
that the money was traced from the account of the Nigeria Air Force to the bank
accounts of a company in which Amosu’s wife is a director.
He added that Amosu’s
wife is a signatory to the accounts.
He said, “We recovered
N381m from Amosu’s wife, Omolara. Initially, we recovered N180m from her
account before another N101m and then N100m. These were monies transferred from
Air Force accounts.”
Explaining how the
money was diverted, the detective added, “They (Air Force officers) sent the
money to an account where their wives have interests or are signatories without
doing anything.”
A second source within
the EFCC told Punch that more properties belonging to the immediate past Chief
of Accounts and Budgeting of NAF, Air Vice Marshal J.B. Adigun, had been
seized.
