He said:
‘’Let me just give you an example. We investigated a matter in which a bank’s MD (Managing Director) marketed a property to a Minister of the Federal Republic (of Nigeria), and the minister agreed to purchase that property. And then, of course, negotiations took place back and forth. At the end of the day, the minister agreed that, ‘yes’, she is interested in buying the property; agreed for $37. 5 million.“Now, the bank sent a vehicle to her house, and then, in the first instance, $20 million was evacuated from her house. The bank succeeded in putting it into their system, and they paid the developer.''profile/3696FB_IMG_166154600052001842.jpg
