Lagos businessman and front man of OAS Helicopters, with their headquarters in Maryland, Lagos, Captain Everest Nnaji, has been granted bail by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Odengene, like he is popularly known, was arrested by the anti-graft agency for allegedly engaging in 419. The Enugu born owner of the defunct Electrostatic World was accused of defrauding a Middle East businessman of a whooping $7.9 million, alongside one Victor Uadiale.
Both men allegedly sold the dummy of a non-existent business to the man which he fell for and parted with the huge sum. Some part of the money was eventually traced to Nnaji’s account at Barclay’s Bank in the United Kingdom. Thus, his arrest. Always calm and collected, he was one of the prominent faces at new Ekiti Governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose’s inauguration. I saw him rocking his drink and sitting quietly at Fountain Hotel, where an after-event party held on that Thursday, October 16, 2014.
