The source of this fund is gratification from a German contractor I have helped to secure contracts and has nothing or whatsoever to do with our government.
The money $10.2 million has been deposited with a security firm abroad. I need the assistance of a reliable and trustworthy person to help me receive this money, because as an active General we declared our assets according to our constitution before taking oath of office, and also, we will be compelled to declare our assets near or in the future due to the ongoing corruption in our Country which you might be aware of it if you do listen to BBC/CNN NEWS.
