#1.6b Fraud: EFCC To Arraign Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan's S.A, Waripamowei Dudafa

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is set to arraign former President Goodluck Jonathan's Senior Special Assistant on Domestic Affairs, Waripamowei Dudafa for an alleged N1.6b Fraud.

It was learnt that Dudafa would be charged alongside one Iwejuo Nna, also known at various times as Taiwo Ebenezer and Olugbenga Isaiah.

They will be charged before Justice Mohammed Idris at a Federal High Court in Lagos.

The first count charge, we reliably gathered, states that the accused persons on or about June 11, 2013, in Lagos, “allegedly conspired amongst themselves to conceal the sum of N1.667bn said to be the proceeds of crime.”

The offence is said to be contrary to Section 18(a) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) (Amendment) Act, 2012 and punishable under Section 17(a) of the same Act.

In the other charges, Dudafa also allegedly used six companies – Seagate Property Development and Investment Limited, Avalon Global Property Development Company Limited, Ebiwise Resources, Pluto Property and Investment Company, Rotato Interlink Services and De Jakes Fast Food and Restaurant Nigeria Limited – to conceal varying sums of money between June, 2013, and April, 2016.

The EFCC has lined up 21 witnesses including representatives of some banks to testify against the defendants.

A former Aide-de-Camp to Jonathan, Col. Ojogbane Adegbe, who was arrested in February for the same offence, has since been retired by the Nigerian Army.

It would be recalled that Dufada was arrested by the EFCC at the Lagos airport in April, while attempting to travel out of the country through the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, for his alleged role in the sharing of about N10bn to delegates at the PDP presidential primary in 2014, where Jonathan was the sole candidate.
