EFCC Official Inspecting Money discovered at Ikoyi Apartment<\/p>\n
December 13, 2017: The whistle-blower, who helped the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recover the $43m, N23.2m and \u00a327,800 (N13bn) from an Ikoyi apartment on April 12, 2017, has finally been paid his commission. The whistle-blower travelled out of Nigeria barely 24 hours after receiving part of the N421m reward. This was confirmed by the whistle-blower\u2019s lawyer, Mr. Yakubu Galadima on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
He praised the government for finally honouring its agreement after 8 months. Galadima also joked that his client did not run mad after receiving the money as predicted by some government officials. He, however, said his client had not been paid in full, adding that the Federal Government had promised to pay him the balance next year.<\/p>\n
The lawyer said, \u201cMy client confirmed to me that he had received a credit alert from the Federal Government. He travelled out of the country this morning (Wednesday morning).<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has been paid the first instalment but there were many tax deductions. Yes, we are happy. I will give you more details later but I can confirm now that he has received some money.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you can see, my client did not run mad as predicted by Prof. Itse Sagay.\u201d<\/p>\n
Galadima said the Federal Government\u2019s decision to pay his client was an evidence that his client was the real whistle-blower out of the others that had been laying claim to the money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
