Esther Nnamdi-Ogbue was sacked by NNPC over corruption scandal
According to Sahara Reporters, top sources at the EFCC confirmed that the money was owned by Nnamdi-Ogbue who was recently sacked alongside three other top NNPC officials over oil sale scandal.
NAIJ.com had reported that in 2016, her cook, Mr. Gabel Segbedji, who is from Benin Republic had absconded with cash and pieces of jewellery worth $6million in 2016.
According to the EFCC, "the operation followed a whistle blower's confidential alert received by the Commission's Lagos office this morning regarding some noticed suspicious movement of bags in and out of a particular apartment in the building. According to the source, the movers of the bags, make believe that they bring in bags of clothes.
The monies recovered where in different currencies
"Another source who is conversant with the apartment of interest indicated that some woman usually appeared on different occassion with Ghana Must Go bags. " She comes looking haggard, with dirty clothes but her skin didn't quite match her outward appearance, perhaps a disguise", the source said.
"On getting to the building, operatives met the entrance door locked. Inquiries from the guards at the gate explained that nobody resides in the apartment, but some persons come in and out once in a while. In compliance with the magisterial order contained in the warrant, the EFCC used minimum force to gain entrance into the apartment.
The EFCC whistle-blower policy led to the recovery of the monies
