n investigation by SaharaReporters has revealed
that a Nigerian private jet caught in
Johannesburg with $10 million belongs to Pastor
Ayo Oritsejafor, the head of the Christian Association
of Nigeria (CAN). Mr. Oritsejafor is also a close
confidant of President Goodluck Jonathan.

The CAN leader’s private plane with US registration
number N808HG was one of two jets cited by South
African officials on September 5 Mr. Oritsejafor's jet
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 to Felix Idiga, the owner of Jafac
Aviation Limited.
Two Nigerians and an Israeli defense contractor, Eyal
Mesiaka arrived in the jet when they were accosted
in South Africa authorities. A South African source
disclosed that Mr. Oritsejafor's jet was released after
top Nigerian officials intervened, claiming that the
weapons to be purchased had the official blessing of
the Nigerian government. The jet arrived with two
plastic suitcases and two hand luggages with
combination locks only known to the Isreali
contractor, according to CityPress
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.
