The Ikoyi cash whistle-blower is said to have disappeared into Europe less than 24 hours after receiving part of the N421 Million as part of his commission from the Federal Ministry of Finance.
The whistle-blower, whose name was not mentioned, helped the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), to recover the $43 million, N23 .2 million and £27, 800 ( about N13 billionn) from an Ikoyi apartment on April 12 this year.
Counsel to the informant, Yakubu Galadima confirmed the development to the PUNCH newspaper, even as he commended the federal government for finally honouring its agreement after eight months.
He said that his client did not run mad after receiving the money as predicted by some government officials.
The counsel disclosed that the Federal Government had promised to pay him the balance next year.
“My client confirmed to me that he had received a credit alert from the Federal Government. He travelled out of the country this morning.
“He has been paid the first instalment but there were many tax deductions. Yes, we are happy. I will give you more details later but I can confirm now that he has received some money.
“As you can see, my client did not run mad as predicted by Prof. Itse Sagay.”[myad]
