AUSTRIAN SCANDAL: AFENIFERE WANTS IYABO OBASANJO PROBED
The pan yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has called on the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), to swiftly launch a large scale probe into the N3.5billion power project contract scandal, involving the daughter of ex Nigeria President, Senator Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello. The Austrain flank of the deal gone sour, M. Schneider, alleged that Iyabo, entered into the deal in a false name-Mrs Damilola Akinlawon. According to Schneider, Iyabo got an Austrian shengen visa, booked into an hotel, as Obasanjo-Bello, but signed alongside Albert awofisayo,(the top gun), as Mrs Akinlawon
According to Afenifere: " There has been grievous allegation that while Obasanjo
was President his children could not distinguish
between Nigeria and Otta farm.
The Austrian scandal involving Iyabo Obasanjo Bello is
a confirmation of this allegation and reflects
Obasanjo weak moral standard."
"There have been calls for Obasanjo’s probe in the last
six months, which have been largely ignored. If
Obasanjo still enjoys “immunity” and cannot be brought
to book for various allegations brought against him,
we do not think that Iyabo has the same status. So we
therefore call on Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) to immediately apprehend her and
carry out a thorough investigation. If she is found
out to have committed this heinous crime, she should
be charge to court immediately and vacate her seat at
the National Assembly."
"Finally, since this allegation against Iyabo is just a
reflection of Obasanjo’s scandalous years, is it not
high time that we carry out a comprehensive probe of
Obasanjo himself?"
