Billions of crude oil fund lost from the Nigerian treasury could be linked directly to the presidential villa, without Diezani Alison-Madueke involved, a Vanguard report says.
Some documents sighted by Sunday Vanguard, regarding the activities of some persons known to have enjoyed the confidence of the Villa, showed the intricate web of conspiracy for the purpose of milking the Nigerian state.
Two companies (names withheld), used principally for some of the deals which saw Nigeria losing billions of dollars through oil deals and whose addresses are the same, located in Victoria Island, were directly linked to the Presidency.
The companies were, according to a source, used “to engage in all manner of oil deals some of which did not enjoy the benefit of due process but were anchored and driven from the Presidency”.
Reports say the CBN’s directive on the deposit of foreign currencies into domiciliary accounts in Nigeria was a function of the realisation by the Buhari Presidency that huge sums of forex were being warehoused by some individuals who had direct access to the Villa in the last dispensation.
Indeed, a few of those who were said to have been intercepted while trying to take millions of dollars abroad were described by a Presidency source as “having direct links to Aso Rock in the last administration”.
This is a different leg of the investigation into the corruption allegedly allowed to fester by the Jonathan Presidency, totally different from the former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Allison-Madueke.
