Nigerians will soon jump for joy as the committee probing the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and other Government Business Entities (GBEs) headed by the Special Investigator, Jim Obazee, has traced about N8trillion of the funds looted from the vaults of the apex bank and the GBEs to various bank accounts operated by individuals and private business organisations.
The recovery of the located N8trillion is, however, expected to commence any moment from now.
This and other revelations, according to reliable sources, are contained in a preliminary report already prepared by the Special Investigator and his team.
But Obazee, it was learnt, is waiting for President Bola Tinubu to return from his foreign trips before submitting the report and then obtain the presidential approval to deposit the funds to be recovered into the Federation’s consolidated account or the recovery account, as he’s expected to get the President’s approval to open the account for depositing the money.
Tinubu is, however, expected to officially announce the N8trillion as the first recovery made by the Obazee-led team of investigators, while subsequent recoveries will be announced fortnightly or monthly.
About N400trillion looted from the CBN and GBEs is expected to be recovered by the Obazee-led team of investigators.
Meanwhile, our correspondent gathered that the special investigator has begun to take steps to prevent a recurrence of the situation where the management of the apex bank presents fake or doctored financial audit reports to government in their bid to cover up such “monumental fraud” allegedly perpetrated under Emefiele’s watch.
Obazee, it was learnt, has therefore, recommended in his preliminary report to be submitted to Tinubu, the immediate withdrawal of the seven-year CBN audited annual financial reports released in September, following the discovery of some discrepancies and irregularities in the financial accounts.
CBN had in August released its financial reports for years 2016 to 2022 amid the ongoing probe of the apex bank by Tinubu’s Special Investigator. But the audit reports are said to have been found out by the Special Investigator to contain inaccurate and false data.
