headed a team that audited the account of United Bank
for Africa PLC (UBA). There is an account opened in
this bank in 1980 and since 1990 nobody has operated

After an intensive investigations,I discovered that if

foreigner, the manager of Petro- Technical Support
Services, a chemical engineer by profession and he
