Abuja—The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has made a major breakthrough in pinning down and obtaining first hand information from the major beneficiaries of the $115 million (N24 billion) payout by former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, through the former Managing Director of Fidelity Bank. Apparently relying on information provided by the former MD, who was quizzed and released by operatives of the commission last week, EFCC intensified its grilling of top Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, members who shared the loot a few hours to the last presidential election. In a bid to recover the N1.2 billion received by the Edo and Cross River states chapters of PDP, EFCC, yesterday, questioned the former governor of Cross River, Senator Liyel Imoke, to shed light on how the N500 million the state got was used and his role in the sharing and utilisation of the money.
