Yakubu Galadima, the lawyer of the whistleblower who informed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission  (EFCC) of the $43m, N23.2m and £27,800 (N13bn) recovered from an Ikoyi apartment, says his client is considering taking the Federal Government to court for fraud if he is not paid his money soon. Galadima also stated that his client had intentions of relocating from the country due to threats to his life and was suffering from mental trauma.

“My client’s concern is that time is of the essence. The guy wants to relocate from the country. There is no time and his life is in danger. He is jobless at the moment. He is not doing anything right now and in fact he is a burden on me.”

Prior to this

EFCC Chairman Ibrahim Magu had on the sidelines of a conference held in Vienna, Austria stated that the whistle blower was now a millionaire and was being counseled on how to manage the money received. Magu later denied making such a statement.
