If the information at our disposal is anything to go by, a former Accountant -General from South West, Nigeria has equally been linked with the alleged $5b money laundering in connection with the embattled former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke.
Source reveals that the accountant -general named witheld has been running from pillar to post to cover up and avoid arrest.. Investigation continues to unravel all his properties .
It could be recalled that another business man allegedly linked has been identified as Mr.Kola Aluko who had sold off at least four properties as he continues to elude authorities.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has, therefore, written to the United States Government asking it to freeze the accounts where the proceeds of the sales were paid into
The properties sold include: a house at 755 Sarbonne Road, Los Angeles, California, 90077, USA and a house at 952 North Alpine Drive, Beverly Hills, California 80210, the neighbourhood of notable Hollywood stars such as Sylvester Stallone and Steven Spielberg.
Other properties sold by Aluko include: a house at 1948 Tollis Avenue, Santa Barbara, California, USA.
The properties are suspected to have been sold in an off-market transaction using a limited liability company.
The said property was also sold in a similar manner barely two weeks before the EFCC was able to secure a Federal High Court order granting a Mareva injunction permitting the Nigerian Government to freeze assets owned by Aluko across the world.
Since the order, Aluko was said to have sold another three properties thereby frustrating attempts to seize them.
It was also learnt that the anti-graft agency is seeking the seizure of three private jets allegedly belonging to Aluko as well as a yacht worth over $80m.
