The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was on
Thursday shocked when the Senator representing Kogi West, Senator Dino Melaye
revealed that the frontline communication company in Nigeria, MTN Nigeria has
been involved in gross money laundering.
Senator Melaye who made the disclosure under order 42 of the
Senate rule was particularly pained, saying that at the crucial moment when the
nation is facing economic challenges, all hands must be on deck to recover
every loot in the country.
“We are in a precarious situation and now is the time to
recover every stolen money in the country,” he said.
Speaking further, Senator Melaye revealed that, “between
2006 and 2016, the MTN Nigeria, in collaboration with 4 commercial banks and
with the help of a serving Minister, has moved over $12bn out of this country”.
He also disclosed that if given the opportunity, he would
move the substantive motion in the next legislative day, with concrete
evidences.
Ruling on the point of order, the Senate President, Dr.
Bukola Saraki granted Dino Melaye the privilege of moving the substantive
motion during the senate plenary of Tuesday 27th September.
