New NFF Sponsor involved in Diezani scandal..

Post by Purity »

Aiteo Chief Executive Officer, Benedict Peters, is the latest Nigerian oil mogul to be named in the case surrounding the bribery allegations against former Nigerian Oil Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke.

Three London properties linked to the alleged bribery of Mrs. Alison-Madueke have been frozen under the UK Proceeds of Crime Act, at least one of which is owned by Mr. Peters.

The order, issued in September 2016 and obtained by Africa Confidential, forbids defendants Benedict Peters, Mrs. Alison-Madueke, Atlantic Energy’s Kola Aluko and Jide Omokore, Christopher Aire (a jeweller for Mrs. Alison-Madueke) and Donald Amamgbo (her cousin) from disposing of or dealing with the properties.

Messrs Alison-Madueke, Aluko and Omokore were named in the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DoJ) asset forfeiture, which stated that the same London properties totaling more than £10m were bought for the oil minister in order to secure lucrative Strategic Alliance Agreements (SAAs), which saw prized Nigerian oil assets passed to the minister’s cronies for pittance.

Mr. Peters’ company Aiteo has been linked to the 2015 INEC bribery scheme that saw Mrs. Alison-Madueke’s son, Ugonna Madueke, distribute $115million to INEC officials via Fidelity Bank in 2015.

For the most part, when you see a Nigerian "businessman" with a sudden windfall, it is usually connected to misappropriated government money. Of course, the logical sequence of events is to legitimize it. Ifeanyi Ubah delved into football club ownership and Benedict Peters sponsors the FA Cup and covers Rohr's and other salaries. Ubah has beaten Peters to the next big step - involvement in politics. Last week, he was one of those cleared to contest the forthcoming Anambra Gubernatorial primaries for PDP. Madam Maduekwe should be the sole sponsor of all the national teams following this glorious trend.

Honestly, was wondering why I had never heard of him when he suddenly showed up to be sponsoring Rohr.
