REPORT: Ibrahim Magu Used A Nigerian Pastor To Embezzle Funds Abroad

A Nigerian cleric has been named as a channel through which Ibrahim Magu, suspended acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), laundered funds abroad.

This is according to findings from The Presidential Committee on Audit of Recovered Assets (PCARA).

One Emmanuel Omale, a pastor at Hand of God Prophetic Ministry, in the report of the PCARA, which probed the federal government assets recovered by the EFCC from May 2015 to May 2020, was said to have been used by Magu to launder funds.

According to the report after an investigation on EFCC’s activities by the Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), the cleric bought a landed property worth N573 million in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on behalf of Ibrahim Magu.

The report read. “Another individual who is helping in laundering funds for the Acting Chairman and who has been referred to in several petitions is one Pastor Emmanuel Omale (Hand of God Prophetic Ministry).”

“He is reported to have travelled to Dubai with Mr Magu and his name was used in purchasing property in Dubai for Mr Magu”.

“As an unknown pastor, the NFIU’s report showed huge movement of funds ranging from N573,228,040.41.”
