According to sources, a portion of the forfeited funds, amounting to N54 billion, was distributed among certain ministers and aides of President Tinubu, in collaboration with EFCC officials.
Some of President Bola Tinubu’s ministers and aides have been accused of sharing over N54 billion from the N120 billion forfeited to the Federal Government by Aminu Yaro and his wife, Saadatu Yaro.
The Yaros, who were associates of former CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele, reportedly agreed to forfeit the funds as part of a plea bargain with the EFCC to drop pending criminal charges against them.
According to sources, a portion of the forfeited funds, amounting to N54 billion, was distributed among certain ministers and aides of President Tinubu, in collaboration with EFCC officials.
Sources have characterised this development as scandalous.
“Emefiele’s accomplices Aminu Yaro and his wife, Saadatu Yaro forfeited N120 billion as plea bargaining,” one of the sources said. “Now Tinubu’s aides and ministers shared over N54 billion of the money amongst themselves and EFCC is complicitly aware.”
