An audio tape of Central
Bank of Nigeria governor, Godwin Emefiele, allegedly discussing how he would
cover up an alleged N500 billion theft, with other top executives of the bank,
has been leaked.
According to Sahara
Reporters, who shared the audio tape online, Emefiele and his Deputy Edward
Lametek Adamu alongside the Director for Finance in the apex bank, Dayo M.
Arowosegbe as well as one of the Special Advisers to the CBN Governor, Emmanuel
Ukeje, were discussing on how to cover up the loss of over N500billion stolen
from the CBN in a private investment that flopped.
Read the full report by
Sahara Reporters below:
Two authentic telephone
audio tapes exclusively obtained by SaharaReporters reveal how the governor and
top officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria haggled over plots to conceal the
loss of huge sums of monies in a Dubai investment according to sources at the
bank.
Emefiele is heard saying in
the audio to the deputy governor Adamu: “To avoid any serious problem is just,
the government to have to agree to give us at least 100 billion cash but the
government will not agree.They will kick against it”.
Expressing fear over what
the opposition will say about the loss of the money which will slip Nigeria
into hard times, the CBN governor can be heard in the audio saying: “How do I
handle this? to which the deputy governor replied “we have to rack our brain
and do something out because we can’t afford it at all, not at this time.
Emefiele replies “the implication for the economy is, no no, no”.
“The opposition will say it
should have depreciated in the project.
The tapes revealed how the
top officials managing Nigeria’s central bank connived and conspired to cover
up financial fraud which has affected the Nigerian economy.
Mr. Emefiele a former
Managing Director of Zenith Bank of Nigeria was appointed by former President
Goodluck Jonathan to head the CBN in June 2014.
Since assuming the
governorship of the Central Bank taking over from now embattled Emor of Kano,
Lamido Sanusi, it has been reported that the Central bank Governor has engaged
in a series financial scams including foreign currency manipulation, money
laundering and roundtripping to favor a group of politically exposed persons
close to President Muhammadu Buhari.
He was the governor of the
Central Bank when Nigeria slipped into the worse recession in 29 years.
Last week, Mr. Emefiele was
renominated for a five-year tenure by President Buhari.
These audio clips show
Emefiele discussing extensively with top officials of the bank to conceal the
loss made with the shareholders’ funds from commercial banks, the monies were
reportedly diverted to invest in Dubai to the tune of N500 Billion sometimes
towards the end of 2018 and they reportedly lost that investment.
Emefiele repeatedly
lamented the hopelessness of a way out of the problem: “I’ll have to think of a
way out because we cannot afford it at all.
“The implications are just
too many to even think about and damaging. We cannot allow this like this, we
cannot” he said.
In the discussions captured
on tape, top financial officers at the CBN blamed one Arowosegbe and at several
points contemplated cooking up the books, discarding several ideas.
At some point in the
conversation, they plotted to ask the federal government for the shortfall
through the Ministry of Finance but decided against it to limit outside
exposure.
As the conversation went on
they didn’t know what to do to avoid a negative balance sheet for the
shareholders’ fund entrusted to the apex bank.
SaharaReporters sources at
the CBN say Mr. Emefiele and others in the bank eventually found a way out of
their dilemma by diverting funds in possession of the CBN and also printing
hard cold cash.
