Fire fighters try to put out the fire that engulfed the Central Bank of Nigeria's office at Tinubu Square,Lagos recently
Fresh facts are beginning to emerge
on the recent fire that engulfed the Nigerian Central Bank in Lagos ,Nigeria.
In an investigation conducted by
Paedia Express Multimedia in Lagos,Nigeria it was discovered through an impeccable
source that a fire truck was actually packed in front of the Central Bank of
Nigeria’s office at Tinubu Square at lweast four clear days before the incident thus signifying that the
entire incident was programmed.
A source said:”on the day that the CBN
was said to have been burnt due to a fire incident my spirit just went to sabotage”
“I had gone to Lagos Island four
days previously and I saw a fire service truck that was parked in front of the
CBN’S office at Tinubu,what that means is that the whole incident was more than a mere electrical like they told us ,somebody had premeditated a fire incident otherwise what was the truck
doing in front of the CBN before then”
“Another issue is that another set
of trucks was sent for to join the one already in the area and this gave the
documents they wanted to burn ample
opportu8nity to be destroyed “
“so somebody was interested in it been
burnt so they can cover up ,remember that there is an on-going investigations surrounding
the tenure of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi “
About four other sources Paedia
Express Multimdia spoke to on the possibility of an insider job
on the fire incident all insisted that the fire incident was a scam rather than
an accident
It would be recalled that the strange fire that struck the Marina,
Lagos office of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) recently started from the top floor where the Lagos
office of the suspended Governor of the bank, Mr. Lamido Sanusi, is located,
witnesses had told THEWILL,an online news agencyThe
fire occurred barely 24 hours before Sanusi and other top executives of the
bank are scheduled to appear before investigators at the Financial Reporting
Council of Nigeria, following Sanusi’s indictment by the council.
The extent of damage was not clear
as at the time of filing this report.
The council has been pouring over
the books of the bank and has sent investigators to the Abuja headquarters of
the bank.
Also on the radar of FRC
investigators is Ms. Evelyn Oputu, the Managing Director of the Bank of
Industry, who allegedly diverted billions of naira and real estate belonging to
the bank.
THEWILL gathered that the council is
particularly examining the controversial forced sale of Intercontinental Bank
Plc to Access Bank Plc believed to have been orchestrated by Senator Bukola
Saraki and facilitated by Sanusi.
Mr. Erastus Akingbola, the CEO of
the defunct Intercontinental Bank had accused Saraki of forcefully taking over
control of the bank.
Curiously, at the time of the shady
sale, retired CEO of Access Bank Plc, Mr. Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede and present
CEO, Mr. Herbert Wigwe, were heavily indebted to Intercontinental Bank to the
tune of about N16 billion which was facilitated through United Alliance Company
of Nigeria, a company they both jointly controlled.
The loans were reportedly written
off with the approval of Sanusi.
Sanusi was suspended by President
Goodluck Jonathan a few weeks ago following his indictment for “financial
recklessness and misconduct” by the FRC. Sanusi has however denied any
wrongdoing.
Some analysts have suggested that he
was suspended because he blew the whistle on an alleged “missing $20 billion”
proceed from the sale of crude. The Presidency however insists that Sanusi’s
suspension had nothing to do with his revelation
