Agents of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Wednesday sealed off an Abuja residence belonging to the former Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) during President Jonathan’s administration, Air Chief Marshal Alex Sabundu Badeh located at No 19 Kumasi Crescent, Wuse II.
There were indications last week that some of the former military chiefs and military officers under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have volunteered to refund some money for jobs undone.
Tony Badeh who is a pilot, and family were already out of the country as at the time the anti-graft agency stormed the house, a source who pleaded for anonymity confirmed to Frontiers news.
Tony Badeh had fore-knowledge of EFCC’s visit and had to quickly travel to South Africa with his family on Tuesday.
Speaking on what transpired, Badeh’s gateman, Mr Timothy in a discussion with other domestic staff said there was little he could do. A visibly sad Timothy also said he had to call his boss, Mr Tony Badeh and who then instructed him not to resist the EFCC officials or deny them entry into the house.
”When they came here I did not resist them. I only called my Oga who told me to allow them,” a visibly sad Timothy explained.
One of the neighbours who craved for anonymity also disclosed that security officials have been monitoring the house for about 2 weeks.
“They have been coming here for a while. I mean the SSS and police people. The last time they (EFCC) came we learnt that they (the Badehs) didn’t receive the letter from them”
This statement was however corroborated by a resident in the area who simply gave his name as Mohammed. Mr Mohammed told our correspondent that the EFCC and some security operatives had earlier stormed the house to seize close to 15 new exotic cars parked in the compound before sealing it off, according to Frontiers news.
“The EFCC before sealing the house drove out close to 15 exotic cars to unknown locations. It was when I knew that something is not going on well.”
Meanwhile, efforts to reach the EFCC spokesperson to confirm the operation proved abortive.
