LUCKY IGBINEDION

He charged of looting and laundering more than N2.9 billion belonging to the Edo State government between 2003 and 2007
Senator Iyabo Osasanjo
The firm, which is linked with Senator Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello, a daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, was reportedly awarded the contract for the construction of the 5MVA Borokiri sub-station and its three components in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, under the National Integrated Power Projects scheme in 2006.
The panel is investigating how the government of Obasanjo spent about $16bn on the power sector between 1999 and 2007 without commensurate results.
Although the projects were listed in the documents submitted to the House of Representatives Committee on Power and Steel by the NIPP management, its site was barren when the committee members visited the site of the project.
Obasanjo-Bello had in January been accused of impersonation when it was alleged that she had, sometime in December 2005, traveled to Austria to enter into a contractual agreement in company with a Nigerian businessman, Mr. Albert Awofisayo.

Gabriel Aduku
The Minister of Health, Prof. Adenike Grange and her Minister of State, Arc. Gabriel Aduku have become the first major victims of the Umar Yar’Adua administration’s avowed zero tolerance on corruption as they were fired recently over corruption charges against them.
The two ministers, appointed about eight months ago, and some top officials of the health ministry were accused of taking out and sharing part of the unspent ministry’s money totaling N300 million.
