Shadowy financial operator, Saint Egbunike Onuohah, who allegedly uses different faceless bank accounts to launder money for embattled former Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation Minister, Betta Edu, is now on the run.

Onuohah’s role is coming to light on the heels of the bubble-busting presidential directive suspending Edu and subsequent directive to Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to thoroughly investigate the erstwhile minister.
