Let me state this clearly that my decision to take up investigation of Udom Emmanuel is borne out of goodwill and to let Gov. Umo Eno know that even if his people won’t question him after his FOUR YEARS tenure, I, Fejiro Oliver will call him to account in EFCC.
Moving on
I promised to give 10% snippets of Ibom Air fraud today and here I am to keep to my promise.
On 24th December 2018, Udom announced that Ibom Air has been FLOATED
February 2019, he announced that he has BOUGHT three planes for take off
Today, let’s unveil the truth you didn’t know.
Ibom Air was not floated in 2018. It was floated by former Gov. Attah on February 21st 2013
It has a total share value of N3 billion currently.
In the year 2018, it opened two account with Zenith Bank. The account numbers are 1014573001 and 5070918778 under the name Ibom Airlines Limited. The first account number has Ibom Airport, Uyo as address and the second has Investment House, Plot 143 Olusegun Obasanjo Way, AKS as address.
The first account has phone number 08023144401 as its number to receive all debit and credit alerts.
The second account has phone number 08022231593 as its number to receive all debit and credit alerts.
It gets messy now.
Note that Ibom Air is under the Ministry of Housing and Special Duties when the account was opened and that was where inflows came in from to the airline account.
For instance, on 2nd November 2018, the ministry sent N1.5 billion to account number 1014573001 of Ibom Airlines.
On 7th November, the ministry sent another N1.5 billion to the same account number.
On 13th December 2018, it sent N600 million to same account.
Let’s leave it there.
On 14th November, N2,575,000,000 was again sent to Ibom Airlines from the ministry .
And the next day 15th November, the over N2.5 billion was immediately wired offshore to AVMAX AIRCRAFT LEASING INC.
On the 23rd of same November, the same over N2.5 billion was sent to the same AVMAX AIRCRAFT LEASING INC.
Now lemme leave the other meat for EFCC.
This company is located in Canada and contrary to the public news that it was paid for, the planes were initially LEASED to the state government and NOT bought.
The monies moved offshore were converted to dollars at the then exchange rate of N360. Prior to then, dollars worth over N5 billion when Naira still has value had already been bought and moved offshore using Ibom Airlines account.
Before I go, why’s Akwa Ibom Investment Corporation that owns Ibom Air majority shares an inactive PSC while an unnamed fellow is an active PSC?
What is N5 billion paid for as deed of legal charge in respect of provision of banking facilities for the acquisition of two Bombardier CRJ 900 Aircraft in September 9th 2021.
One thing was clear. Money was borrowed to buy the two aircrafts later on? Where was it borrowed from? Why was money borrowed despite the state having money?
Answers will come in EFCC custody. That I promise you my people of Akwa Ibom.
And for a teaser, was Ibom Airlines account moving money to Dashad & Co, a sole proprietor firm, that’s under investigation by EFCC for money laundering?
For now, I’m under serious heat and will be back after settling every threats to me. I have one life and I will put it on the line for 10 million Akwa Ibomites.
Let’s Dakaada… Let’s rise to the spirit of greatness
