MYSTERY! GEJ's 69 Prado SUV Fraud?

 The EFCC has been asked to probe the purse from which the cars were acquired and look into claims that they have been sold off.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has been urged to dig into the controversial case of the mysterious disappearing of over 69 brand new Toyota Prado SUVs.

According to Nelson Ekujumi, a Nigerian rights activist and public affairs analyst who made the call, the SUVs were allegedly given to the spokesman of a socio-cultural organisation by former President Goodluck Jonathan for support during the 2015 general elections.
Ekujumi said he suspected that the SUVs were sold, by the spokesman, to a car dealer in Victoria Island area of Lagos.

“One is hereby seeking the investigation of the anti-corruption agencies to unravel what happened to over 69 brand new Toyota Prado Jeeps allegedly given to a spokesperson of a socio-cultural group for distribution to a certain group of individuals for their support for the political ambition of the former President Goodluck Jonathan before the conduct of the 2015 general elections by the 
presidency,” Ekujumi said on Sunday, January 31.
The claims were made via a series of statement posted on his Facebook wall. He said: “We suspect that the vehicles were diverted and sold to a car dealer in Victoria Island, Lagos state.”
PM News reports that Ekujumi urged the EFCC to investigate the actual number of the brand new Prado jeeps that were given to “this socio-cultural organisation spokesperson” by the presidency prior to the 2015 general election.

He also asked the anti-graft agency to find out if the money for the purchase of the vehicles was appropriated for and where the money was sourced from if it was not appropriated for.
Among others, he asked the EFCC to: determine the persons behind this assault and abuse of public trust; ascertain how many of these brand new Prado jeeps were delivered to the beneficiaries by the socio-cultural organisation spokesperson as directed by the presidency; and verify how many of these Prado jeeps were allegedly diverted to a car dealer’s showroom in Victoria Island, Lagos.

While commending President Buhari’s stand against corruption and the efforts of the various anti-graft bodies to win the battle in the country, Ekujumi said he was doing this because the role of the citizen in complementing government programmes is very critical to societal stability and peace.
“Hence, if we are to win this war against corruption, then all hands must be on deck.
“It is expected that the anti-corruption agencies will move fast to investigate this clear case of corruption in order to engender public confidence in winning the war against this social malaise,” Ekujumi stressed.


Meanwhile, the secretary of Ekiti state PDP, Dr Temitope Aluko, has made claims alleging that former president, Goodluck Jonathan gave Fayose $37 million cash to prosecute the state’s 2014 governorship election.
