EFCC Re-arraigns Sylva For Alleged N19bn Scam by Ghydyon(m): 10:45pm On Dec 02, 2013
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission will on Tuesday re-arraign former Governor of Bayelsa State, Timipre Sylva, and six others on 42 counts before Justice A. R. Mohammed of the Federal High Court, Abuja.
The other accused persons are Francis Okuburo, Gbenga Balogun, Samuel Ogbuku, Marlin Maritime Limited, Eat Catering Services Limited and Haloween Blue Construction and Logistics Limited.
According to a statement on Monday by the Acting Head, Media and Publicity, EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, Sylva’s re-arraignment is sequel to fresh evidence linking him with a bouquet of fraudulent transactions that border on money laundering during his tenure as governor of Bayelsa State between 2009-2012.
The anti-graft agency had earlier arraigned Sylva over six counts of criminal conspiracy and conversion of state’s property and resources amounting to N2.45bn before Justice Adamu Bello of the Federal High Court, Abuja.
The Prosecution counsel, Festus Keyamo, said Sylva allegedly perpetrated the fraud through proxies under the false pretences of using the amount to augment salaries of the Bayelsa State Government.

EFCC,leave them,let them go. You're wasting your time. Nothing will come out of it. Even if they're sent to prison,within hours,they will surely get presidential pardon.

Sylva without any doubts is corrupt even a newborn is aware of that. On the issue of presidential pardon, he will not be getting any because he is not on the president's good books.

Simply because he decamped to Apc ? I expect the EFCC to also re-visit patience jonathan money laundering case and prosecute the ugly fat jigaboo.

was he a progressive when the money was stolen? Using EFCC to witch hunt perceived political enemies is just outright stupidity on the part of the president.

Alams stole more than that and is rubbing PGEJ belly at Aso Rock. I thought, my fellow Ijaw kinsmen said that, it is our Oyei money. So why the double standard on Sylvia. What of Alams, Alaibe and other rogues.

Am amazed that my lecturer who taught me Theory of Structure in the dept of Civil Engineering, UNIPORT is among the APC members that defected from the NPDP. One time commissioner of water resources to Sylvia.

Hope people realised, that politics is a game of interest, if Oduah can be safe and his brother Sylvia will be arraign for opposing him. It goes to show you that we don't know were this country is heading to.

'Fresh evidence' has emerged days after his public romance with the APC?

The court should decide his culpability or otherwise, but public opinion should also decide the moral credibility in this 'abracadabra' war against corruption. How will the rest of the world take us serious with this kind of executive unseriousness?

Sorry people, but your President is a joke. Even Mr. Ebele Jonathan knows that.

his running battle with EFCC didn't start when he joined APC but why did they re open his case now that he has joined APC? What does that tell you?
