Halliburton scandal: Jonathan Orders Adoke to Fish Out $26.5m Plea Bargain Money

Aftermath of the directive by the Federal Government to the Police to resuscitate the investigative report of the $180million Halliburton scam and America’s insistence that the $26.5million plea bargain money returned by Construction giant, Julius Berger, be located and made available to Police, there is confusion over the whereabouts of the huge amount of money.

Irked by the development, Saturday Vanguard gathered that President Jonathan as directed the Attorney General of the federation, Mr. Adoke to fish out the money and make it available to the Police by next week.

The decision to task the Attorney General with the assignment, according to sources, followed conflicting statements by both Julius Berger, office of the Accountant General of the federation and the Police investigators about the true position of the money. One account said the money was in the possession of the Accountant General of the federation. Another account said the money was being kept in the office of the AGF while the Police said they are at a loss over the money’s whereabouts.
