Dr. Ngozi Olejeme

The past deputy chairman, Finance Committee of the Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation, is under investigation for allegedly receiving $2.8 million from Arthur Eze under false pretense.

In a petition written to EFCC, Arthur Eze, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Oranto Petroleum alleged that Olejeme in 2014, solicited for his assistance to give her $2.8 million to execute her governorship ambition. He alleged that the money was given to her between April 2, 2014 and March 25, 2015.

A source at the EFCC disclosed that… “Her house was searched and we found a Ghanaian international passport number: H2619481 and one Ghanaian international driving permit number: IDP0008462 both in the name of Amartey Doris but carrying Mrs Olejeme Ngozi’s pictures. One ECOWAS travel certificate with number: 232/270052 in the name of Osakwe Justina Otito carrying the picture of Mrs Ngozi Olejeme was also recovered”.

“One Nigerian diplomatic passport with number: F50000049 in the name of Olejeme Juliet Ngozi was also recovered. Olejeme obtained the multiple passports under different names in her desperate bid to evade arrest.”

It would also be recalled that Olejeme is as well being tried for allegedly diverting and embezzling N69 billion while she was the chairman of NSITF.

Besides, the EFCC source also said that: “Investigations revealed that several funds were diverted from NSITF account to several individual and corporate accounts during the time Olejeme held sway as NSITF boss. About 37 choice properties belonging to Olejeme and believed to be proceeds of the embezzlement, were recovered during investigation and the matter was charged to court.”
