<\/div>\n
The Auditor General of the Federation, AGF, Mr. Samuel T. Ukura collected N190 Million, (One Hundred and Ninety Million Naira) and another N100 Million (One Hundred Million) bribes from both the Nigerian National Petroleum Cooperation, NNPC and the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, to cook up audited accounts and cover up financial crimes, documents available to Pointblanknews.com shows.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Besides, the Auditor general also pocketed N120million, (One Hundred and Twenty Million) of the Agency fees from the N2.4Billion office complex of the AG paid for by the Federal Government, according to a petition sent to President Mohammadu Buhari for investigations.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
According to the documents, the Auditor General unconstitutionally appointed external auditors to look into the alleged missing $20Billion from the NNPC coffers, reported only $1.48Billion missing after allegedly collecting N190Million in bribe.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Recall that Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, had told the Senate Committee probing the allegation of unremitted funds, that the NNPC shipped 67billion dollars in crude and only 47 billion dollars had come back to the Federation.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
The then CBN Governor insisted that the NNPC had to proof where the 20billion dollars was.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, at the time dismissed the allegation<\/span><\/a>, calling it baseless.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PWC) also conducted a forensic audit on the alleged missing 20billion dollars, the report of which the Group Managing Director of the NNPC said did not indict the corporation in anyway.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
PricewaterhouseCoopers, the audit firm said findings in its 199-page report were limited to available information and did not constitute a review in accordance with generally accepted standards.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cThe procedures we performed did not constitute an examination or a review in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards or attestation standards,\u201d the firm said.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cAccordingly, we provide no opinion, attestation or other form of assurance with respect to our work or the information upon which our work was based,\u201d it added.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
But now a petition claimed that the Auditor General collected N190million bribe from the NNPC to help doctor the Audited PricewaterhouseCoopers 199-page report.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
It is alleged that the Auditor General is in the habit of doctoring financial reports of Government agencies in order to give them a clean bill and evade interrogation and investigation for financial crimes.<\/span><\/div>\n
One agency the AG is said to have recently tampered with its financial records is the NDDC, considered as one of the most corrupt.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Whistleblowers Club of Nigeria while asking President Buhari to immediately direct the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, ICPC and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC to immediately commence probe of the AG, alleged that the Auditor General cooked up all the financial records in the NDDC and pocketed N100million.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
The Whistleblowers petition signed by one Dudusola Ayodele, alleged that while the AG failed to submit audited financial statement of the Accountant General of the Federation since October 2014 against the constitution that allows only 90days to do submit to National Assembly, he is presently lobbying the new Senate President, Bukola Saraki to bail him out.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
On the purchase of the AG\u2019s office complex, another petition signed by one Adebayo Eniwaye alleged that on the 8 storey property located on plot 272\/273, Central Business District, after the purchase of the complex for N2.4Billion, a 5 percent agency fees as required was never paid even though the cost had been covered by the Bureau of Public Procurement.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cIt is on record that the sum of N2.4Billion was eventually paid to the property owner leaving the balance of N248million out of which our client was supposed to be paid N120million as its agency fee.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cTo our client\u2019s dismay and despite repeated oral and written demands, the Auditor General of the Federation, Mr. Samuel Ukura has refused to settle our client and resorted to uncivilized antics of threatening the life of our client\u2019s Managing Director-Chief Gbenga Alade with a view to wrestling him to submission to forget about the said N120million,\u201d the petition by Eniwaye, a Lawyer said.<\/span><\/div>\n
