Operatives of the EFCC have confirmed plans to arraign Oyo-Ita
for alleged fraudulent activities.
Sources at the anti-graft agency told LEADERSHIP not
TheNigerialawyer last night that the commission was preparing
charges against Oyo-Ita over N3 billion fraud cases.
The sources, however, said that “this kind of investigation is
not something to be rushed into and hence, the reason why we are
taking our time to do a thorough job and prepare charges before
arraigning the embattled head of service and others involved in the
crime.”
One of the sources claimed that Oyo-Ita had been unable to
return to the office of the EFCC since she was granted
administrative bail because she checked into a hospital.
It was gathered that after her grilling by the EFCC for several
hours, the HoSF checked into a hospital for a yet-to-be disclosed
ailment. The anti-graft agency grilled her on August 8, 2019.
Oyo-Ita was interrogated by the EFCC for alleged abuse of duty
tour allowance, money laundering and stealing of public funds.
About N600 million has allegedly been traced to the account of
one of her key aides, who was unable to explain the source of the
money.
Already, the EFCC has placed a lid on the account and initiated
the process of obtaining an interim forfeiture of the money to the
federal government.
Preliminary investigation confirmed that about N3 billion has
been traced to the HoSF in accounts of proxy companies.
Oyo-Ita’s problems started when EFCC’s operatives uncovered
slush funds linked to her while probing the activities of a former
minister under whom she served as permanent secretary. She
allegedly used different fronts or cronies to obtain contracts from
Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
While tracing embezzlement by the ex-minister, detectives were
said to have stumbled on the diversion of funds into proxy
companies which the head of service has links with.
The startling revelations made the detectives to dig further
into her activities as permanent secretary and head of service.
The EFCC said that there were proofs on how she secured
contracts through proxy firms from some ministries including
Special Duties, Power, Works and others.
The investigators also discovered that she was involved in the
falsification of Duty Tour Allowance (DTA) and estacodes.
