Former Chairman of Special Investigative Panel for the Recovery of Public Property (SPIP), Okoi Obono-Obla has made shocking revelations.

He said; “You must have heard that we recovered a lot of assets from Ekweremadu and several men and women of means in this country tried to reach me to tune down our investigations.”

“But I was not ready to talk with them and I am not very surprised that they have resorted to blackmail and other tactics to imaginably wish to smear my name and reputation.”

“What is happening now is diversionary, something we are very good at in this country; because I have rebuffed their corrupt advances. I will say no more.

“I cannot hazard a guess because we did a lot of recoveries for a lot of FG agencies and the amounts were huge.”

“At NEXIM bank for instance, we recovered over 35billion dollars and like sums for the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria.”

“We also recovered several billions of dollars from commercial banks in the country who trickily overcharged government accounts in their banks. These banks were also involved in illegal charges, on accounts owned by ordinary depositors.”
