I decided to write you after observing the relationship of Governor Ikedi Ohakim of Imo state and Mrs Farida Waziri, the Chairman of the EFCC. The relationship of the duo dates back to the years of Victoria Waziri at Milverton while Ikedi Ohakim was a 419er.
To put the record straight, I was a boy working in the 419 office of Kingsley Ibe and Ikedi Ohakim at Ajao Estate behind Stop Over Motel along the International Airport road Ikeja. Mr. Kingsley Ibe is presently in detention in Abidjan for 419 related offences, and you can confirm this from Interpol. Mr. Kingley Ibe is from Anara in Imo state and married to the younger sister of the late Morris Ibekwe a federal legislator who died in prison while detained by the EFCC for 419 related offences.
During Ikedi Ohakims 419 period, his associates were Tony Chukwu, late Zeb Phillips, Eze Cletus Illomuanya (Now a traditional ruler) Chief Reginald Amadi, Orji Uzor Kalu (With SLOK office in Calcutta Crescent Apapa), Ezego, Ode Njiji of Njima Paints (Also Victoria Waziri man friend). Governor Ikedi Ohakim had a more personal relationship with Victoria Waziri (Now Farida) during the boom of 419 in the 90’s. As a result of a petition written by a German client Mr. Bushbeck who was defrauded of 400,000 Deutsch Marks in our office, we were raided on the orders of Victoria Waziri. This led to the arrest of Ikedi Ohakim and Kingsley Ibe in 1994. They were detained in Milverton for a week and a deal was reached and they were released.
Upon their release, Ikedi Ohakim bought a Daewoo Espero from Tunde Debasco Motors and sent to Victoria Waziri. The car was handed over to her at the car park of Ikoyi Hotel in Lagos. Due to my closeness with Ikedi I was always with him and acted as his Personal Assistant. He also issued her with a cheque.
The relationship with Victoria culminated into a more cordial relationship which has lasted till date.
Ikedi used his relationship with Victoria Waziri to broker deals for other "guy men" who had problem with Milverton. Ikedi even went to the extent of setting up other guy men each time they made money from 419. The fear of Ikedi by 419ers was the beginning of wisdom then.
Ikedi Ohakim runs a 419 government in Imo state. All the beneficiaries of government contracts are 419’s like Tony Chukwu.
Mrs. Waziri speaks to Ohakim almost on daily basis asking for one favour or the other.
When the EFCC wanted to do their Eastern Zonal launch in July 2009, Mrs Waziri got a call from Governor Ohakim, and he told her to do the launch in Owerri, and that he will support them financially by providing the venue and logistics.
Governor Ikedi Ohakim also gave Mrs Waziri’s EFCC the sum of N300million tax payers money to support the launch.The launch was originally billed for Enugu but Waziri changed the venue to Owerri at the instance of Ohakim. It also afforded them the opportunity to be together at the Government house lodge.
Ikedi Ohakim has been using his company MEKAHOG to steal Imo state money. He has bought up the whole of Abuja. He just bought a house in London. His wife is his major front. They bought land recently in Abuja for N180 million using MEKAHOG account with UBA bank.
It is unfortunate that despite the numerous petitions against Ikedi Ohakim, Mrs Waziri has decided to turn a blind eye. I just want the good people of Imo State and Nigeria to note the relationship between Ohakim and Waziri.
It is worthy to note that Mrs Waziri is not fighting corruption in Nigeria.
She is a friend of 419ners and corrupt people in Nigeria.
