Dear Sir,
Greeetings to you!! I hope all is well.My name is Mr.Ben Olukoya, i was
assigned on 3rd of August 2003, by the Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo,
to be the personal assistant(PA),to the former Liberian President, Charles
Taylor,when he arrived Nigeria on exile.
Following the exit of Charles Taylor of Liberia from power under a West
Africa brokered peace agreement, led by the Nigerian President,he was
granted asylum by the Nigerian Government and was subsequently, given a home
in the south-south part of Nigeria,Calabar to be precise.
While on my assignment as the P.A to Mr.Charles Taylor, i observed that
Mr.Taylor moved in large amount of monies, illegally to Nigeria and used
some of his money to buy loyalty, and he also found me as a close confidant
and asked me to advise him on the best place,he could possibly secure his
money. That was how, i deposited $20Million in a Finance firm in Europe .
Which i intend to move oversea for investment and spend the rest of my life,
there with my family.
Since he relocated to Calabar, Southern Nigeria, all has been well until the
28th day of March, 2006, he was arrested and flown to Sierra-Leone by the
Nigerian Government, following the request of the present leadership of the
Liberian Government led by Mrs.Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, backed up by the U.N,
to appear in a Sierra-Leonean Hign Court, on allegations of war-crime
charges, etc.
