Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on
Thursday, raided a facility being developed by former President,
Goodluck Jonathan’s cousin, Robert Azibaola, in Otakeme, Bayelsa State.
No reason was given for the raid, though the company premises was
searched by the operatives on the suspicion that they would find
hidden cash.
Spokesman of the company, Austin Ekeinde, lamented that some containers, machines and buildings were damaged in the process.
He said “At about 1500 hours today, 13th April 2017, EFCC operatives
invaded KAKATAR premises in Otakeme in Bayelsa State and vandalised
containers, equipment, machines and damaged our buildings in the
process.
“KAKATAR premises in Otakeme houses our construction equipment,
machines and residential buildings and it not for the storage of cash or
any other material.”
The development came on the heels of similar raids in Lagos, Kano
and Kaduna by EFCC operatives in search of cash suspected to have been
stashed by some powerful Nigerians.
