Alleged $38m fraud: Court gives EFCC go-ahead to investigate oil company, others ⬇️

Justice Bolaji Olajuwon, in a judgment, said that the suit instituted by the company and its General Manager, Olusegun Olaleye, lacked merit.

The Judge disagreed with the lawyer to the plaintiffs, Mike Ozekhome, SAN, that the investigation of the plaintiffs’ activities by the anti-graft agency amounted to harassment, and was unlawful. The judge rejected all the reliefs sought by the plaintiffs and dismissed it for being unmeritorious. “The intelligence reveals that the 1st plaintiff, its directors alongside other companies like Airsafe Aviation Global Limited, used multiple accounts to move funds in and out of Nigeria to the tune of 38,198,624.08 dollars between September 2017 and December 2018, without any clear underlying/legitimate business transaction.

The agency said that; “preliminary investigation revealed, among other findings, that both 1st plaintiff and Airsafe Aviation Global Limited, were incorporated by the CAC in 2018 with the names of Messrs Chukwunwike ChuksMacjulie and Money Sheyi Godfrey as the directors and shareholders.”
