EFCC recovers N381m from ex-Air Force Chief’s wife

A total of N381m has been recovered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC from three different accounts of the wife of ex-Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adesola Amosu.

According to a report by The Punch, the sums of N180m, N101m and N100m, were recovered from three different bank accounts of a company which has Mrs. Omolara Amosu as a director and signatory.


It was alleged that the funds were transferred from the account of the Nigeria Air Force to the bank accounts of the undisclosed company.

Amosu, who has been detained by the anti-graft agency and quizzed over the procurement of two second-hand Mi-24V Helicopters instead of the recommended Mi-35M series at a cost of $136.9m, would be charged to court once EFCC rounds up its investigation at the end of February 2016.

On Friday, there were reports that a staggering $117,000 cash was recovered from Amosu's Lagos home.
