REA Fugitives: Angela Oselukwe and Uduak Akpan Isreal
These two ladies, whose names are Angela Oselukwu and Uduak Akpan Isreal, are the missing link between the N5 billion Naira graft and the successful identification of several fronts that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole,used in receiving kickbacks from a massive theft of public funds.
According to EFCC officials, Angela and Uduak opened bank accounts at the United Bank For Africa (UBA) into which deposits were made by a member of the house, Godwin Ndudi Elumelu and Senator Nicholas Ugbane. Others making deposits into those accounts include Mohammed Jibo, Dr Abdullahi Aliyu, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Power, the MD of Rural Electrification Agency, REA, Engineer Samuel Ibi Gekpe, and several other unscrupulous REA officials.
Angela and Uduak, who are in their thirties, were the major signatories to the several companies that were used in stealing N3 billion from the REA.
The two ladies maintained offices in the upscale Maitama area of Abuja. Some of the companies belonged to siblings of Speaker Bankole and his father. The companies linked to Bankole, his father, brother and cousin are: Vulysteke Metallic Construction Ltd, Parthenon Acropolis Nig. Ltd, Complete Trade Nig. Ltd, Zobra Global Services Ltd and F-Plus Concept Ltd.
These companies were paid for services they didn't render with the help of the two amazons of graft, who were spirited out of Nigeria as soon as investigations began regarding the 2009 scam.
