Mr Toyin Subairu, Senior Special Assistant to president Bola Tinubu on Domestic Affairs and Special Duties, has been accused of using his position to block the prosecution of Abubakar Isa Funtua and his Ugandan ally, Asega Aliga, who allegedly defrauded Keystone Bank of N28 billion through phony loans.
The allegation was made by former presidential spokesman and publisher of Point-blank news, Mr Jackson Ude.
Vociferous Ude also revealed that Isa Funtua and Aliga collected another $25 million from Keystone Bank and disappeared.
Ude, who disclosed this via a post on his official X handle, said Funtua only returned to Nigeria after he was summoned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
However, sensing that he could be convicted for fraud, Ude said Funtua enlisted Toyin Subairu to reach out to the anti-graft agency and using the President’s name to stall his prosecution and that of Aliga.
He said, “After collecting millions and a promise of other benefits, Toyin Subairu has been using his position as Senior Special Assistant to the President on Domestic Affairs and Special Duties, to stop or frustrate the prosecution of Abubakar Isa Funtua and his Ugandan ally, Asega Aliga, who both defrauded Keystone Bank of N28billion through phony loans.
