Attached is a letter written by the Director General/ Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Bashir Jamoh, to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) asking it to probe an alleged N1.5 trillion and another US$9,557,312.50 traced to his personal account.
According to Dr. Jamoh, the allegation, which bordered on money laundering emanated from series of tweets of one Jackson Ude alleging that the said sums were traced to his personal account.
In the letter addressed to the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission with file number NIMASA2020/DG/EFCC/VOL1/09, Jamoh stated that the allegation of money laundering impugned his integrity, character and family name.
He noted that the letter also suggested that the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria be invited by Security Agencies to give reasons why such huge sums of money was transferred to my personal account instead of the Treasury Single Account (TSA).
“In view of this weighty allegation and the insidious and perniciously damaging effect on the government and the country, I hereby request that a thorough and painstaking investigation be carried by your commission with a view to unraveling the truth or accuracy of the allegation,” he wrote, in order to, in his words, “put the record straight in the public domain”.
