At the heart of this network, a name reappears with insistence: Usman Danwudi Auwal, a Nigerian businessman, currently placed under a deposit mandate in the Orabank dossier. But according to the latest information from Libération, he was extracted from prison and released again yesterday on the same charges in another case related this time to the BGFI. It all begins with an account opened at the BGFI in the name of the Agence nationale des bourses du Gabon, intended exclusively for the payment of the scholarships of Gabonese students in Senegal. An agreement signed on 5 April 2023 allowed the bank to execute transfers on the basis of instructions sent by e-mail or via the SWIFT network. Between 17 July and 9 October 2024, the bank executed four orders of transfers based on e-mails that appeared to come from the director of the Agence nationale des bourses. The beneficiaries are M. Diatta, A. Cissé, C.B. What are you doing? Ndiaye, the C.I. Mbacké, Usman Danwudi Auwal and a company called Dakar Transit Transport. It is precisely this latest transfer that will arouse suspicions: no link exists between this company and the Republic of Gabon or its students. Alerted, the bank contacts Ebe Hyan Jogael, director réel de l’Agence, who declares not to be at the origin of the instructions.
