An angry Victoria Hammah was said to have called the FIC Chief Executive, Samuel T. Essel, to find out the rationale behind the investigations, especially when no one had lodged a complaint of missing money or theft against her.
Financial experts and lawyers had urged the former Deputy Minister to institute a legal action against the FIC.
A source close to the former Deputy Minister told Daily Guide over the weekend that Ms Hammah placed a call to the National Security outfit to find out who was behind the investigations and she was told they were not aware of any probe into her bank accounts and therefore should ignore the reports.
According to the source, her checks at all the high places in government indicated that nobody appeared to know where the directive to probe her accounts was coming from and therefore decided to call the FIC Boss herself.
Angry over the deliberate leakage of the alleged probe into the public domain, Ms. Hammah called the FIC boss, Mr. Essel on Friday who said he would want to meet her one-on-one to trash out issues.
This response infuriated the embattled former minister who told Mr. Essel point blank that she did not want to have anything to do with him.
“Oh Honorable, we can’t talk on phone, let’s meet over it,” the FIC boss allegedly told Ms Hammah.
But Ms Hammah was not in a mood for any meeting. “Please don’t call me honorable, I’m Victoria Hammah, and I’m not going to meet you for any meeting. I want you to publish the bank statements after your investigations,” Vicky reportedly fired back.
According to the source, Vicky was particularly angry that she was not briefed about the inquest into her private bank account only for the same people investigating her to leak the letter written to the banks to the media, ostensibly to embarrass her.
