A private jet caught in Johannesburg with around $10 million inside is the property of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, Sahara Reporters provides.
According to the report, the head of the
Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) owns the
private plane with US registration number
N808HG, which is one of the jets recently seized
by the SA officials.
The money totaling $9.3 million cash was packed
in several suitcases. The cash was seized at the
Lanseria airport following the luggage search.
Reuters previously revealed that SA police
started investigation in terms of 2 Nigerians and
an Israeli contractor, who were on board trying
to illegally bring cash into the country , in what
might have been part of an arms deal.
The 3 passengers claimed the money was aimed
at buying arms for the Nigerian security , City
Press said.
Sahara Reporters refers to the information
allegedly provided by the Nigerian aviation
authorities: that one of the jets belonged to
Pastor Oritsejafor while the second one was
registered to Felix Idiga, the owner of Jafac
Aviation Limited.
It was disclosed by the South African source that
Oritsejafor’s jet was released after some high-
ranked Nigerian officials insisted that the money
was approved by the government for purchase
of weapons.
CityPress revealed that only the Israeli
contractor knew the combination locks to all the
cases, which were on board.
When contacted, Mr. Idiga denied owning the jet
involved in the scandal. Pastor Oritsejafor could
not be reached for the comments.
