-New Posers for Ambassador Adefuye
Sharpedgenews.com on Thursday got further proof that the M & T Bank in Maryland, United States has indeed issued a check to the Nigerian Embassy in Washington DC and has initiated that it no longer wants to
handle the Mission’s accounts based on suspicion of money laundering.
Sharpedgenews.com has also initiated moves to obtain concrete proof of the Embassy’s transactions with the Bank of America and Wells Fargo, two banks which the Nigerian ambassador Professor Anthony Adefuye claims has no financial ties to the mission. N official of Wells Fargo who tied to tag along of the non-plausible denial of Ambassador Adefuye when told that the truth has not been told to Nigerians, promised to get back to sharpedgenews.com with information on the issue.
However, sources within the Nigerian Mission said that Adefuye’s misconduct in repeatedly going to M&T branch in Maryland and allegedly making withdrawals of $50,000 on each occasion is unheard of
Embassy sources told sharpedgenews.com that the ambassador’s indiscretions is what has landed the Mission on the present predicament, whereby it is unable to pay its Nigerian diplomats for upwards of two months in salary arrears.
“M & T Bank indeed wrote a check to the mission in respect of the balance in its accounts. He also had transactions with Bank of America and Wells Fargo. The man destroyed his own integrity when he claims that we didn’t have any bank account in the US,” said our source.
Aggrieved diplomats of Nigeria in the US now want Professor Adefuye, the ambassador, “to explain or swear under oath, if he himself believes what he has said – that the embassy has no accounts in the US.”
The ambassador is said to have been relying on the federal government’s crude oil accounts with Citi Bank for limited financial exigencies lately. In sending intimidating letters to media houses, he has not addressed the serious charges that salaries of Nigerian staff of the embassy have been left unpaid.
He has not explained how he has lately become the persecutor-in-chief against Nigerian diplomats through his active discrimination against them. He past expatriates and leaves Nigerians to suffer.
And as he equates outright lying with credible diplomacy, he has to explain the source(s) of the monies he spends, if he insists that the Embassy has no accounts with any American banks.
