Follow @NigeriaPI EFCC grills ex-Permanent Secretary over looting of N27b, watch-lists insurance firm boss Erstwhile Chief of Staff to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Brig. Gen. Jones Oladehinde Arogbofa (rted), would have probably stayed out of trouble today with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) but for a rather strange gift, The Nation can now reveal. Some public officers dipped their hands into the national purse and stole N27, 188,232,208.20 and then proceeded to purchase a N585million house which they presented to him as a gift. The money was the benefits of deceased staff of the defunct Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN). The deal has now blown into the open with the EFCC taking Arogbofa into custody. He was subsequently quizzed following which he agreed to refund about N150million of the terminal benefits which was traced to the property purchased for him. It was learnt that the anti-graft agency has also grilled a former Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Power who played a role in the diversion of the cash. More heads may roll in government on the diversion of the funds. Informed sources said those who looted the dead workers benefits decided to involve top government officials in the deal to cover up their tracks. About 10 of such officials are currently under surveillance. The coordinators of the deal were said to have paid cash to or buy expensive gifts for the affected officials. One of the source said: “The perpetrators of the fraud pretended they were doing Arogbofa a favour by virtue of his closeness to ex-President Jonathan. They told him that they had a gift...
