How we shared N468.7m project fund: Suspect tells ICPC

A principal suspect in the alleged stealing of  N468, 794,613.79  earmarked for the Great Green Wall, a federal government initiative to check desert encroachment through tree planting, has revealed how a cartel planned  the fraud and how the beneficiaries helped themselves to the loot.

Adeolu Olugbenga Adeyanju told Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) interrogators that the cartel hijacked the account from the Federal Ministry of Environment and stole the sum before luck ran against them in the process of exhausting the entire allocation of over N1.392billion originally meant for the project.
