A former
Military Administrator of Akwa Ibom State and chieftain of the People’s
Democratic Party, Air Commodore Idongesit Nkanga(retd) has been arrested for
his alleged role in the $115m bribe involving a former Minister of Petroleum
Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke.
According to source the EFCC said that after the money was converted to N23bn, the suspect received
N450m through Fidelity Bank Plc.
The EFCC
source stated that he would be charged to court soon.
He said, “He
was arrested in Port- Harcourt, Rivers State on Monday. Nkanga was alleged to
have collected the money in two tranches, from an employee of Fidelity Bank in
Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Mr Saint- Anthony Ejiowu.
“The first
tranch of the money, a sum of N350m was collected on March 27, 2015 while the
second tranche of N100m was collected on March 31, 2015. Nkanga signed for the
two tranches.
“He is in the
custody of the EFCC and would be charged to court soon.” The EFCC had last week
arrested the Managing Director of the bank, Mr. Emeka Okonkwo, for his alleged
role in the scam.
The money in
question was said to have been used in bribing officials of the Independent
National Electoral Commission.
