The fear of EFCC in Nigeria is the beginning of wisdom to lots of politicians.
Confirm News has it that Senator Stella Oduah, who represents Anambra North in the upper legislative chamber is not finding it funny as EFCC might arrest her according to Informantion divulge to us. Stella who allegedly bought London apartments worth N5billion in cash, from 2012 to 2014–a period in which she served as Nigeria’s Aviation Minister–according to investigative reporting in the Pandora Papers crosses to President Mohammodu Buhari party, APC to safe her secret being leaked and from exonerate from going to jail through EFCC.
It was gathered that 10 Nigerians and 26 other African politicians were implicated in Pandora Papers.
Nigeria’s Premium Times, which is a member of the Washington-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) also reports that Oduah incorporated International Trading and Logistics Company Limited (ITCL) is the tax haven of Seychelles.
And On July 12, 2011, just days after her assumption of office as Aviation Minister, Oduah used ITCL Nigeria to buy Flats 303 and 306 Grant House, 90 Liberty Street and London SW9 0BZ.
Records show that none of the four properties was bought with mortgage financing, meaning Oduah secretly routed 6.7 million pounds through her offshore company to anonymously effect the acquisitions, according to the report.
It is unclear if she declared some or all of the properties and the offshore company ITCL to the Code of Conduct of Bureau (CCB). The senator did not respond to requests for comments from journalists.
President Goodluck Jonathan however fired Oduah from her position of Aviation Minister on February 12, 2014, after she was indicted by two panels for purchasing two bullet-proof cars for the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) for N255 million, in breach of public procurement and appropriation laws.
She was recently announced to have dumped the PDP for the governing APC in August 2021.
