Ikoyi Whistle-blower’s cash: Lawyers, different men fight for N850m reward

CLAIMS for the estimated N850 million reward for the discovery of the Nigeria Intelligence Agency, NIA, cash haul deepened yesterday after the whistle-blower who unearthed the cash alleged a plot to dilute the money he was entitled to.

Speaking for the first time in an exclusive interview with Vanguard, the principal whistle blower, Stephen Sunday, also opened up on how he let two of his friends into the discovery.

Sunday’s lawyer, Yakubu Galadima, who also spoke to Vanguard, said he was giving the authorities a deadline of the end of the month to pay the reward, failing which he would head to the court.

He also fumed against what he claimed as the emotional trauma the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, had subjected his client to, including administration of psychotic drugs. Galadima alleged the drugs cost the EFCC a quarter of a million naira.
