Nigeria: Minister, ex-Legislator in $100 million scam

Cairo Ojougboh

More Nigerians are stepping forward to provide damning information on how much rape and robbery has been visited on the nation since democracy came back in the last eight years. The latest shocking disclosure has to do with a ring of executive robbers said to be led by former Works and Housing Minister, Chief Tony Anenih and his lieutenant Dr. Cairo Ojougboh. They and their retinue of mistresses of power are said to have been involved in taking out of the Nigerian system more than N10 Billion ($100 Million) in the last eight years.

Whistle blowers told Pointblanknews.com during the week that Chief Anenih originally recruited Dr. Ojougboh as a Personal Assistant without portfolio. But in real terms Ojougboh exercised oversight on behalf of his boss Anenih on sundry affairs that concerned extra legal expropriation of lands, public funds and even retinue of women of easy virtues.

Some Banks often masquerade in Nigeria as genuine clearing houses. They seldom alert the Government or Nigerians on questionable transactions. Many of Dr. Ojougboh and his godfather’s deal were done through Guarantee Trust Bank, GTB and Zenith Banks, Abuja branches.

Dr. Ojougboh was later said to have excelled in assisting Chief Anenih to milk the Nigerian public so much so that the People’s Democratic Party, PDP system gave him unlimited support to win election into the Nigerian House of Representatives. While in the House of Representatives, Chief Anenih gave all the support that a political godfather could provide. Ojougboh through Machiavellian scheming emerged as the House Committee Chairman on Petroleum Resources.
