Ecobank Fugitive Poise To Name Accomplices

Information reaching this medium has revealed that the Ecobank fugitive, Abdul Salim Mansaray, has threatened to name names involved in the billiongate scandal, wherein over fifty billion Leones of taxpayers’ monies was siphoned.

Close sources told this medium that the syndicate was between Ecobank Staff and some workers at the National Revenue Authority. Should Salim Mansaray go ahead with his threats, more heads will roll. This threat from Mansaray is said to be sending shivers down the spine of many in the syndicate, who felt that the absence of Salim Mansaray will simply end the entire investigation. Some analysts and commentators have averred that the embezzlement of such a huge amount of money from the bank, could not have been a one-man job, but had all the trappings of a team, as accounts were opened and funds directed to those accounts, and later withdrawn. Many believe that such a huge cash cannot simply disappear into thin air, but may have been carefully transferred to some safer unknown accounts, probably out of this country. The NRA could be culpable in such a syndicate, as it could not say that it is not keeping track of monies paid by taxpayers into its account. If the NRA could keep track of the Electronic Cash Register, which simply deals with sales by business people, which many say is a much lesser tax than the ones paid by corporate bodies, one wonders about the security measures that the institution has to protect tax payers’ monies.

Anyway, if the alleged name calling of co-rogues in the billiongate saga, as threatened by Salim, becomes a reality, Sierra Leoneans will know about the criminal cartel fleecing the country.

Stay tuned for more details as things unfold.
