Gani Adams Never Got $22m From Gaddafi—Former Aide

A former aide to the National Coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC, Gani Adams, Sileola Fasan, has reacted to an allegation of fraud levelled against his former boss.

Over the weekend, some expelled state leaders of the Yoruba interest group led by Marruf Olanrewaju accused Adams of collecting $22 million from the late Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, urging the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to probe him (Adams). Read it here.

But in a Facebook post on Tuesday, Fasan, who claimed to have worked with the OPC leader between 2005 and 2014 as his Special Assistant on IT and Banking Matters, said there was never a time Adams had such an amount of money in both his domiciliary and Naira accounts.

“I want to clear air on the 22 million Dollars allegation from the late president of Libya. I worked with Otunba Gani Adams between 2005 and 2014. I worked as his Special Assistant on IT and Banking matters. I had access into all his accounts, I could ask for his account balance any time I needed it.

“Otunba is the type that does not hide his financial status, if he is rich, you would know and if he is broke too, you would equally know,” Fasan said.

Writing further, he said, “I am surprised at seeing what I call false allegation on the social media that he collected such huge sum of money from Libya. Otunba had never had up to $5,000 in his domiciliary account and N10,000,000 Naira account respectively, throughout my working with him.

“He did not have hidden account, his wife is my younger sister too and I had access to her own account. She is also a moderate spender and so conservative. This allegation is far from the truth. $22 million for God sake! There is God o!”
