How Tinubu-led Nigerian Government Paid Over N2billion Into Private Accounts Of Ex-Militant Leaders


On May 15, 2025, another N32.5 million was paid into his account. On June 25, 2025, a further N32.5 million was paid to him. Odiki also received N33.2 million on July 25, 2025, and another N33.2 million on October 28, 2025.

Despite fiscal provisions in Nigeria which frown at government funds being paid into private accounts, the Nigerian government has paid amounts running into over N2billion into the personal accounts of four ex-militants for the 2025 fiscal year.

This development is based on a review of the public payments portal, Govspend.

On April 22, 2025, a sum of N33.2 million was paid to ex-militant Odiki Jacob with the payment description: "Being payment of March 2025 bulk stipends to camp leader of Ekpomopolo Tobi Camp phase 1, for 500 delegates as approved by the administrator."

Prior to this, a sum of N31 million was paid into his account on March 18, 2025. Earlier, on February 27, 2025, a sum of N33.2 million had also been paid into his personal account. 

Similarly, on May 15, 2025, another N32.5 million was paid into his account. On June 25, 2025, a further N32.5 million was paid to him. Odiki also received N33.2 million on July 25, 2025, and another N33.2 million on October 28, 2025.

On November 24, 2025, a sum of N32.5million was also paid into his account.
