Allegation of payment into the personal account of our Chief Executive is Fake – NIMASA

The Nigerian Maritime Administration & Safety Agency (NIMASA), has debunked content of a video on an assumed N1.5 Trillion and Nine Million Dollars payment into the personal account of the NIMASA Chief Executive.

Spokesperson of NIMASA and Assistant Director, Public Relations, Osagie Edward in a press release stated categorically that there is no iota of truth in the allegation as the social media post had been earlier circulated over three years ago in 2021.

“It is worthy of note that in 2021, when the allegations were then circulated, NIMASA DG had personally requested the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC to investigate it. In the petition he personally signed and dated May 24th, 2021, Dr Jamoh complained that the viral story has impugned his integrity, character and family name.

“This re-circulation of the 2021 video is the handiwork of mischief makers who are bent on misinforming unsuspecting members of the public for interest best known to them and their sponsors” Osagie cautioned.

NIMASA advised members of the public to disregard the content of the malicious and misleading social media post.
