NSCDC rejects report of N2bn traced to its official’s account (see bank statement)

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) has dismissed a report into allegations that its personnel were involved in a $2 billion financial trail.

The Commander of the Mining Marshals of the NSCDC, Johnson Onoja, denied the report during an interview on Monday in Abuja.

Onoja said the bank statement purported to have been used for a transaction of over N2billion, in the last one year showed a total credit of N760,129 and debit of N760,457.

He expressed disappointment with the report, saying it was false, malicious and with negative intentions on the part of the report’s publishers.

He said investigations and the bank account balance of the person said to be in possession of over N2 billion, showed that the suspect’s current balance amounted to almost zero naira.

According to him, the bank account number of the said staff showed credit and debit of less than N800,000 in the last one year.

“Everything you saw in the publication is completely false and they also claimed that I refused to release the phone which was marked as an exhibit in a murder case.

“I was surprised to see the publication that the family of the deceased submitted the petition after I had met with them separately and discussed it thoroughly,” Onoja said.

The commander said the case is currently being handled by the relevant authorities.
