President GoodLuck Jonathan's Friend, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor In N1.6 Billion Arms Deal + SA authorities seize His Private Jet

 

A Nigerian private jet caught in Johannesburg with $10 million (N1.6 Bn) allegedly belongs to Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, the President of  Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

Pastor Oritsejafor is also a confidant of President Goodluck Jonathan.


According to Sahara Reporters,the CAN leader’s private jet with US registration number N808HG was one of two aircraft  cited by South African officials on September 5,2014. Oritsejafor's plane allegedly  arrived South Africa with $9.3 million cash loaded in several suitcases. News of the seizure of the cash broke over the weekend, triggering questions about the ownership of the jets and weapons they intended to purchase.

Nigerian aviation authorities disclosed that one of the jets belonged to Pastor Oritsejafor, while the second one was registered in the name of Felix Idiga, the owner of Jafac Aviation Limited.

Two Nigerians and an Israeli defence contractor, Eyal Mesiaka reportedly arrived in the jet when they were accosted by South Africa authorities. A South African source disclosed that Pastor Oritsejafor's jet was however released after top Nigerian officials intervened, claiming the weapons to be purchased had the official blessing of the Nigerian government.

 The jet,the report claimed, arrived with two plastic suitcases and two hand luggage with combination locks only known to the Isreali contractor, according to the source.

"Earlier today, SaharaReporters rang the mobile telephone number of Mr. Idiga. At first, he pretended and claimed that he was the Aide De camp to Mr. Idiga. But when our correspondent identified himself as a reporter from SaharaReporters, he owned he started answering questions relating to the issues but claimed the jet we published on our site wasn’t his own. Asked if he knew of another private jet named in apparent arms buy in South Africa, he asked where we got our information after we read the jet registration number to him. He then denied that his jet was involved, before hastily hanging up the phone.
We were unable to reach Pastor Oritsejafor before going to press."
