US Freezes Nigerian Embassies Accounts

Nigeria and the United States of America government might be heading for a diplomatic row over the decision of the latter to freeze some of the accounts of the country’s embassy in Washington, DC.
Bank of America, M&T Bank and Wells Fargo received directive from the US government to close the accounts of the Nigerian embassy in Washington and its consulate in New York on suspicion of money laundering after traffic on the various accounts raised a red flag.

The decision is sequel to intelligence report generated by a panel comprising representatives of the US Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the Department of Treasury, unknown to Nigerian embassy officials, to monitor wires and traffic in all the accounts operated by the embassy.

The US on Wednesday vowed to ignore a request by the federal government urging Bank of America and Wells Fargo to unfreeze Nigerian embassy’s bank accounts in Washington, DC, and New York. The move, according to sources, is setting the stage for a potential showdown between the two countries with Nigeria also threatening to reciprocate by freezing the US embassy’s accounts in the country.
The online media stated that about $3.6 million dollars was said to have entered and left the accounts in under a month, the latest transaction being the withdrawal of $50,000 in hard cash by a top embassy staff. In rejecting the federal government’s request, a source in the State Department was quoted as saying,
“The Nigerian embassy was unable to respond to requests for clarification about payments and transactions into the account and there are reasonable grounds to believe that the accounts are being used as channels for money laundering and other financial crimes.’’

The source, who said the move was not targeted at the country’s embassy alone, told the online news blog that the embassies of two other unnamed African countries were affected by the freeze. Also, an unnamed federal government official in the foreign affairs ministry was quoted to have stated, “We must not accept the illegal decision to shut down legitimate embassy accounts simply because we are in America.”

A source at the Nigerian foreign affairs ministry told Huhuonline.com was asked whether Nigeria will go the extra mile to institute retaliatory action which could be interpreted as a declaration of war, and he retorted: “I don’t know if it’s an act of war, but it’s outside all norms of international behaviour…we’ll see what happens when push comes to shove.” Since the freezing of the bank accounts, the Nigerian embassy has been grounded as it can no longer conduct regular embassy business, such as paying bills and the salaries of diplomats.

As part of efforts to resolve the issue, the auditor-general of the federation and a team of auditors left for the US to begin auditing the accounts of the embassy. Efforts by embassy officials to open new bank accounts with other American banks have so far been politely turned down, prompting consideration of reciprocal measures such as closing the bank accounts of the U.S embassy in Nigeria.

Video of how Farouk Lawan asked house of assembly to remove Otedola’s companies from probe report

How he was able to fool every member of the hoc committee to his request…..My God, Isn’t this unbelievable?

Apparently, Mr. Farouk  was released on Saturday, at about 4PM.

The Public Relation Officer for the NPF, Frank Mba, confirmed to Channels television that lawmaker was released on the condition that he will appear before the Police’s Special Task Force team on Monday, 18th of June 2012 and subsequently until the matter is disposed of.
Mr Farouk, who has been in police custody for the last two days, was detained by the police Special Task Force team on Thursday night, to answer questions bordering on allegations of $3million bribe, raised by a major oil marketer.
The CEO, Zenon Oil ad Gas Limited, Mr Femi Otedola had alleged that the lawmaker demanded the sum of $3.5 million as bribe and received $620000 as down payment from him, in a sting operation, allegedly coordinated by the State security services.

Well the whole world is watching to see how this turns out

For those who are not familiar with Rodney King;

King was 26 years old when a group of white police officers brutally beat him while a bystander videotaped them from his apartment window on March 3, 1991.

A year later, on April 29, 1992, an all-white jury acquitted four police officers over his assault.

Hundreds of thousands of people poured into the streets in anger, igniting a wave of deadly violence and arson that swept through large areas of Los Angeles.

There were 54 riot-related deaths and nearly $1 billion in property damage as the seams of the city blew apart.

He was found dead in his swimming pool,
