Chidi Odinkalu
While speaking at a programme in Vienna, Austria on Thursday, Nigerian human rights lawyer, Chidi Odinkalu, dismissed the claim of the
EFCC acting chairman, Ibrahim Magu, that the man who gave the
anti-graft agency information about the monies stashed in an apartment
at Ikoyi, Lagos, is now a millionaire.
According to TheCable, he said; “We
are currently working on the young man because this is just a man who
has not seen one million naira of his own before.
So, he is under
counselling on how to make good use of the money and also the security
implication.
The claim by @officialEFCC chair, Magu that Ikoyi Billions #Whistleblower "is now a millionaire" is verifiably false https://t.co/D8aXK7haoT— Chidi Odinkalu (@ChidiOdinkalu) November 10, 2017
“We don’t want anything bad to happen to him after taking delivery of his entitlement. He is a national pride.”
Recall that under the President Muhammadu Buhari's whistleblower
policy, any individual who gives information (whistleblower) is entitled
to between 2.5 percent and 5 percent of the recovered loot.
While reacting to Magu’s claim on Friday, Odinkalu said the
unidentified individual had been detained in three different places,
adding that the whistleblower’s life could be in danger.
He wrote; “The claim by @officialEFCC chair, Magu that Ikoyi Billions #Whistleblower “is now a millionaire” is verifiably false.”
“It’s also false that @officialEFCC has bn working with Ikoyi
Whistleblower. Instead, he’s suffered serial detention in 3 difft
institutions.
“I know the Ikoyi Billions Whistleblower & can confirm that he’s been despicably treated; his life cld be n danger.”
