There are reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has recovered about N381m from Mrs. Omolara Amosu, wife of former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adesola Amosu.
The money recovered in three tranches: N180m, N101m and N100m were reportedly traced from the bank accounts of the Air force to that of a company in which Mrs Amosu is a director, and a signatory.
An EFCC source, stated that “They (Air Force officers) sent the money to an account where their wives have interests or are signatories without doing anything.”
Another source also revealed, that more properties belonging to the immediate past Chief of Accounts and Budgeting of NAF, Air Vice Marshal J.B. Adigun, had been seized, including a quarry located in Ogun State, with equipment worth about $600,000.
Two weeks ago, houses worth over N2bn in Ikoyi and Victoria Island allegedly belonging to Adigun were seized.
Amosu, Adigun and over nine air force officers are currently under investigation by the anti-graft agency for the procurement of equipment which was said not to be transparent.
Meanwhile, it was learnt that Amosu and some other officers would be charged to court as soon as the holding charge which the EFCC obtained in court to hold the officers for 30 days from January 28 lapses.
