EFCC Arrest Odili’s Ex-ADC Over Alleged Fraud

A former Aide-de-Camp (ADC) to one-time Rivers State Governor Peter Odili has been arrested and grilled by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged ₦4, 000,000,000 fraudulent lodgments in his account.

The EFCC had placed all accounts linked to Onyesom, a retired Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) under Post No Debit (PND).

Odili is being investigated for alleged N100 billion fraud during his tenure between 1999 and 2007.

EFCC’s investigation revealed the details of the Government House account domiciled in the Maitama branch, Abuja of a bank, which showed that about N4 billion was withdrawn by Onyesom between 2004 and 2006 for undisclosed reasons.

A former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was also one of the people that benefited from the Rivers State ‘bonanza’. Ali allegedly received a manager’s cheque of N100 million on November 28, 2005.
