Oladimeji RamonThe Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has accused a businesswoman and socialite, Hajiya Bola Shagaya, of frustrating its efforts to conclude investigations into a suspicious Unity Bank account with a balance of N1,902,673,399.93.. An EFCC official, Oghare Ogbole, stated this in the counter-affidavit the anti-graft agency filed to oppose a suit filed by Shagaya to challenge the freezing of the account linked to her. According to the EFCC, the N3.3bn was paid by Index Petrolube Africa Limited . It said after paying N1.2bn to Mrs Jonathan, Shagaya kept the balance of N1.9bn for herself by “warehousing” same in her personal bank account with Unity Bank. The EFCC said Shagaya would have been charged to court, but she had not honoured their invitation to enable them to conclude investigations.
