Senate on Wednesday resolved to
probe the link between the Paris Club Refund and the Office of the Attorney
General of the Federation where an alleged plan to defraud Nigerians of over
$200 million dollars was uncovered.
It was disclosed that the
whopping sum had been warehoused at the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN.
This disclosure was made
following an adopted point of order 42 raised by senator Dino Melaye
representing Kogi West.
In his presentation, Melaye said
he had a profound evidence to prove that there is a massive corruption that is
about to be incubated.
In his words, “Mr. President and
my very respected distinguished colleagues, I have a profound evidence to
buttress, elucidate and prove that there is a massive corruption that is about
to be incubated.
“Mr. President, this is in
relation to the Paris club refund where already there is a plan between the
Paris club refund and the office of the Attorney-General of the federation
where over 200 million dollars have been warehoused as I speak, with the
Central Bank of Nigeria.
“Already, there is a sharing
formula to defraud Nigerians of this amount of money. Mr. President, if I have
the leave of the Senate, I will want to bring a substantive motion on the next
legislative day”.
Ruling on the matter, Senate
President, Bukola Saraki put it to a voice vote and, it was unanimously
