However, the paper refused to take down the news story, stating that “fighting corruption,” was not about monetary reward but for “posterity to judge.”

The Nigerian Financial Intelligent Unit, NFIU, was able to confirm the report of this paper. Statement showed that N573 million discovered in Prophet Omale’s bank account’ – 1486743019.

A request was officially made to the bank for the account statement of the religious cleric. But, instead of making the document which was requested by panel investigating Mr Magu available, Mr Nuru took a doctored statement which did not reflect the money in question.

The panel having seen the statement from the NFIU, immediately requested that Mr Nuru go back to the office and bring the correct version, a source authoritatively told DENISAURUS News.

Those present are now shocked that the same CEO of FCMB is now claiming to have made a mistake on the of 573 million paid into Prophet Omale’s bank account.

According to Section 15 of the MLPA (2011), a person who commits money laundering activities faces imprisonment from 7 to 14 years.

A company involved in money laundering is liable to a 100% fine of the received benefits for unlawful activity and annulment of their licence.

Having noticed the money in Prophet Omale’s account, a Suspicious Transactions Reporting, STR  under the Anti-Money Laundering, AML regulations set up to monitor such issues, should have been flagged up by the bank.

Instead the bank refused to raise any alarms and even when asked, the CEO deliberately doctored the account, sources informed DENISAURUS News.
