THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR

NIGERIA IS A MASSIVE CRIME SCENE.

For those who may not be aware, I will share a little true-life story that will shock you to the bones about this money.

Actually the money found in this Lagos apartment in 2017 was not only 43million dollars. They also found £28,000 and 23million naira ALL IN CASH at the apartment. Yes, ALL IN CASH.

Guess who the owner of that apartment is? A former director of the NIA and former ambassador of Nigeria to commonwealth. A gentleman called Chief Ayo Oke.

By February 7, 2019; two years later after the money was found in his apartment, the Federal High Court in Lagos issued a warrant for the arrest of Chief Oke, former director general of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), and his wife Folasade following an application by EFCC. Just before their court date, they reportedly left the country for “medical treatment”.

 The EFCC then declared the couple wanted after their failure to respond to court summons. They were charged with the theft and laundering of staggering amous of public money. One of the EFCC charges relates to roughly $43 million, £28 thousand, and ₦23 million—all in cash—that the EFCC found in this their Lagos apartment following the 2017 raid.

Another charge by the EFCC against th couple relates to $160 million that the couple allegedly diverted from the Nigerian federal government for their own use.

In 2017, after this scandalous discovery of money in his apartment, Chief Oke was suspended as director general of the NIA. The then Vice president of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo headed a committee that investigated the incident and recommended to President Buhari that the director general be removed. 

Till today, NOBODY knows what happened to that money and where that money is right now. As I said above, it was not just 43 million dollars found in that house. They also found £28,000 and 23 million Naira ALL in cash. In that same apartment. On that same day in April 2017.

Now for the icing on the cake:

Guess where Chief Ayodele Oke is now?

He is quietly back in the country after Tinubu freshly nominated him few weeks ago as an ambassador. Yes, the same man who fled the country and evaded the courts when suspicious millions of dollars was found in his apartment. He is now an ambassador representing our country before the international community.

And no, what you just read now is NOT fiction, it is not nollywood and it is not a wild imagination.

Every single detail I shared here is true. You can google it and fact-check me.
