Akpabio linked to N865billion illegally deposited with 3 banks in Uyo

Some online news portal are reporting that former governor of Akwa Ibom State and Senator representing Akwa Ibom East, Sen. Godswill Akpabio, may soon be in another messy corruption scandal following the discovery by the Central Bank of Nigeria of huge funds linked to him in the

vaults of some banks in the state capital, Uyo.

The monies were allegedly said to have been secretly kept in UBA bank, Polaris Bank and one other new generation bank with each

of the bank managers in the State serving as “unofficial” account officers of the money.

More shocking is the discovery that the monies were not paid into any known account but kept as ‘unrecorded’ cash deposits by

the former Senate Minority Leader”, according to the report.

AND it was also gathered that most of the money were laundered when Akpabio was Governor, and is said to be in US-dollar.

The apex bank recently began a discreet probe into suspicious N865billion cash deposits allegedly made by the former Governor in

three banks in Uyo.

The source said the CBN after its investigations will invite the EFCC if any case of culpability is established.

The authenticity of this story has not been verified, though.
