The EFCC yesterday arrested and detained a former Permanent Secretary in
the Ministry of Labor, Clement Illoh, after N316 million was traced to
his personal account in Zenith Bank. A source at EFCC who spoke to The
Nation, said the N316 million which is questionable, was discovered
during investigations into the fraud in NIMASA
"The EFCC in the course of investigating the Technical Committee for
Ratification of MLC of Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency
(NIMASA) discovered that the sum of N14.1 million was paid to Clement
& Bob Associates. Further investigation revealed that the said
company, Clement & Bob Associates, belongs to Dr. Clement Illoh,
where he is the sole signatory. It was further discovered that the sum
of N49 million and N13 million were also paid into Clement & Bob
Associates account from the now defunct Subsidy Reinvestment Programme,
SURE –P. Illoh has been unable to provide satisfactory answer on how he
came about the said N316 million in which he has the sum of N200
million in fixed deposit and over N16 million as balance in Zenith Bank.
The EFCC also discovered that Illoh purchased property worth N75
million from Aso Savings and Loan, Abuja using the name of his wife,
Rose.”
