The trial of former President Goodluck Jonathan’s cousin, Roberts Azibaola will begin today in Abuja. He and his wife Stella and their firm will be arraigned for alleged payment of $40million into their company, One Plus Holdings Nigeria Ltd., by Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).
The wife, Mrs. Stella Azibaola, was taken into custody on Monday night to join her husband in preparation for their arraignment before a Federal High Court in Abuja.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed seven charges against the couple. Those familiar with the case said the charges were filed by EFCC's Sylvanus Tahir and Jirbo Francis.
The EFCC has traced the source of the $40million to a bank in London belonging to Jonathan's cousin and his wife, Mr & Mrs Azibaola.
The cash was wired through Citibank N. A. Canada Square Canary in Wharf London E 145 LB into the account of One Plus Holdings Nigeria Limited.
The $40million came from the account of the Special Services Office of the Office of the SGF.
The Special Services Office has a joint account with the office of NSA and some security agencies.
It is beginning to look like Goodluck Jonathan's government was all about sharing our money. Sigh!
