LAGOS, Nigeria – Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed Lai Mohammed on Friday named those that have looted the treasury of Nigeria.

“The PDP has challenged us to name the looters under their watch. They said they did not loot the treasury. Well, I am sure they know that the treasury was looted dry under their watch. Yet they decided to grandstand. This shows the hollowness of their apology,” he said. According to him, the national chairman of the party, Uche Secondus, on February 19, 2015, received N200 million from the office of then National Security Adviser (NSA).

“Then PDP Financial Secretary, on the 24th of October 2014, took N600 million only from the office of then NSA. Then National Publicity Secretary Olisah Metuh is on trial for collecting N1.4 billion from the office of then NSA,” he said.

He also said a stalwart of the PDP, Raymond Dokpesi, the Chairman of DAAR Communications is also on trial for receiving N2.1 billion from the office of then NSA.

“Former SSA to President Jonathan, Dudafa Waripamo-Owei, on trial over N830 million kept in accounts of four different companies.” According to him, “This list is just a tip of the iceberg, and the PDP is aware of this.

“We did not make these cases up. Many of these cases are in court and the records are available,” Mr. Mohammed said.The minister also said some of the people he mentioned are seeking to plea bargain. The minister however failed to mention those who who have looted under the present administration.
