The federal government says it identified the sponsors of
Sunday Adeyemo, better known as Sunday Igboho.
Abubakar Malami (SAN), attorney-general of the federation,
disclosed this at a press conference in Abuja on Friday.
According to Malami, a committee set up by the government found
out that Igboho is linked to 43 accounts in nine banks.
The AGF said a federal lawmaker is Igboho’s major sponsor.
“The report revealed
that Sunday Igboho is a Director and signatory to Adesun International Concept
Limited registered on 23rd April, 2010. Adesun International Concept Limited
also has Oladele Oyetunji and Aderopo Adeyemo as Directors. Sunday Igboho is
linked to 43 bank accounts in 9 banks,” Malami said.
“The major financier of the fugitive and separatists was
found to be a federal law maker in the national assembly.
“A total sum of N127, 145,000 was received by Igboho from
his financiers between 22nd October, 2013 and 28th September, 2020 through
Adesun International Concept Ltd accounts.
“A total sum of N273,198,200 transaction outflows was
recorded from Sunday Igboho’s account between 15th March, 2013 and 11 the
March, 2021.”
Malami said Igboho through his company had transferred money
to Abbal Bako & Sons, a company linked to the financing of Boko Haram.
“Investigation reveals that Adesun International Concept Ltd
(belonging to Igboho) transferred the sum of N12, 750,000) to Abbal Bako &
Sons,” he said.
“It might be recalled that Abbal Bako & Sons and its
promoter Abdullahi Umar Usman are suspects in the on-going joint terrorist
financing investigation.
“Abdullahi Umar Usman
is by way of financial transaction connected to Surajo Abubakar Muhammad (who
was sentenced to life imprisonment in UAE on charges of financing terrorism,
Boko Haram).
“This report shows the nexus between separatists’ agitation,
terrorism financing and disruptions of peace in the country.
“The report found connections of financial transaction
between Adesun International Concept Ltd and some construction companies and
businesses among others.
”Having received the reports, the federal government remains
solute in its determination to have a peaceful Nigeria. The federal government
will do the needful, within the context of the legal provisions, in ensuring
that the matter is giving the deserved attention and those found guilty will be
made to face the wrath of the law.”
