I agree.

This is the judiciary they are expecting us to follow.

I wish Buhari is a Military Head Of State

EFCC arraigns Saraki’s cousin, ex-commissioner for N371m scam

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Tuesday arraigned a former Special Adviser to the Kwara State Governor on Millennium Development Goals, Ope Saraki, who is also a cousin to Senate President Bukola Saraki for an alleged N371m scam.
The EFCC said in a statement by its spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, that a former Commissioner for Information, Olatunji Moronfoye, was also arraigned before Justice Oluremi Oguntoyinbo of a Federal High Court sitting in Ilorin for offences bordering on abuse of office, diversion of public funds and money laundering.
While Moronfoye served as commissioner under Saraki when he was the governor of Kwara State, Ope served under the current Governor of Kwara State, Abdulfatah Ahmed.
Moronfoye and Saraki, who were first arraigned on May 13, 2015, had to re-enter their plea on Tuesday following the transfer of the former trial judge, Justice A. O. Faji.
According to the anti-graft agency, Moronfoye, while being the Special Adviser to former Governor Saraki (now Senate President) allegedly used his position to enrich himself.
The EFCC alleged that Moronfoye awarded contracts to the tune of N200m for the renovation of Ijagbo Primary Health Centre and specialist hospitals within the state to a company in which he had interests and was the sole signatory to its account.
It said Ope allegedly abused his office and laundered state funds for his personal benefit by awarding inflated contracts to companies owned by his cronies.
The commission said in one of the transactions involving the purchase of buses for the state, Ope fraudulently procured 13 Hiace buses from a “local car dealer” and converted the vehicle to an ambulance instead of a factory-built ambulance for which a contract of N171, 990, 000 was awarded to Chemiroy Nigeria Limited.
One of the charges read in part, “That you, Ope Saraki, being the Special Adviser on Millennium Development Goals to Governor of Kwara State sometime in 2012 at Ilorin within the jurisdiction of this honourable court did by undue interest conducted procurement fraud in the procurement of 13 units of ambulance for 13 General Specialists Hospitals in Kwara State at the sum of N171,990, 000, a contract awarded to Chemiroy Nigeria Limited and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 58 (4) (b) of the Public Procurement Act, 2007 and punishable under Section 58 (5) 0f the same Act.”
Moronfoye and Saraki pleaded not guilty to the three and five counts preferred against them respectively.
In view of their pleas, counsel for the EFCC, Joseph Uzor, urged the court for a date to commence trial.

Hmmmmm

SR pro Buhari

Where is firefire to come earn his 2k pay per post allowee.

jinha:
now the NBA should keep quiet...

Smart woman. The name doesn't look Nigerian. A whole SAN and Judge. Corruption in Nigeria. Transfer of the judge to Yobe state is not enough, he should be brought to book.

Enlighten me, is it a crime for them to have conversations over the phone, it's not lime we are privy to the content of their discussions to pass a judgement solely based on record of calls

Did u even read the post? This ain't no matter about the last administration for fûck's sake! It's a matter between 2 directors of a company. Mehn, una sef... Zombies sef...

Sahara Reporters...investigative journalism extraordinaire!

Is this right? Publishing people's private details in public? Sahara Reporters are overdoing it really. This is something that should have gone through the proper channels, but is being made public for all and sundry.

Will the Efcc bark during the last admin not to talk of arresting a san. Open ur eyes.
Dakuku was on point afterall.

These are the reasons why most of us believes that justice in Nigeria is like horse trading. It is for the highest bidder/the most connected.
A society that can not guarantee its citizens fairness, equity and justice will invariably decend into anarchy. I sincerely hope that the judicial system will be reformed in good time

I think it's not professional ,for a judge to be in contact with a lawyer presenting a case before him..

The characters in question are public figures. Nothing about them should be hidden Realy. That's what the law says.

Saharareporters is just on a class of its own. I suggest the EFCC and DSS enlist them on code for under cover operations. Udo diri unu

I am surprised that you see nothing positive in the resurgent Efcc. Your case is rare!

Am surprised everyone here is praising Saharareporters. Sadly, if they were exposing someone in APC or PDP the reserve would have been the case.

Kudos to Saharareporters.

Lol. Ur obviously a zombie. You better stop getting carried away by media hype young man. Until the common man begins to feel the positive impact of the govt in concrete and real terms, there's absolutely nothing to be happy about for this country.

Correct

To all zombies pls this is not good news in any way. It has no effect on the common man nor does it reduce the growing inflation or dollar exchange rate. Efcc can go to hell. They are even more corrupt than the 3 arms of govt. Rubbish
