Contrary to views by some quarters that the current government ant-corruption war is targeted at the opposition, President Muhammadu Buhari, according to Premium Times ordered the arrest of a key member of the panel investigating the mismanagement of public funds meant for the war against Boko Haram, Mohammed Umar, after receiving damning reports that he was involved in alleged money laundering and illegal possession of firearms,

President Buhari okayed the arrest of his close ally, Mohammed Umar, despite being his close ally and loyalist, after perusing reports alleging that the retired Air Force officer ran a blackmailing and extortion cartel, officials said.

Mr. Umar was arrested last week as operatives of the State Security Service (SSS) raided his Abuja home.

Those familiar with the matter said before moving against the retired officer, the Director General of the SSS, Lawal Daura, met with Mr. Buhari where he tabled reports suggesting that the panel member had been busy using the name of the president and other top officials of the administration to intimidate, extort and blackmail individuals and businesses.

“The president became worried and jittery when he was confronted with the way a man he trusted had been behaving,” a presidency source said. “So he ordered that he should be picked up while the allegations against him are thoroughly investigated.”

Security sources told this newspaper that documents seized from Mr. Umar’s residence during a raid on June 19 included classified documents from the president’s office, details of government transactions from the Central Bank of Nigeria, and details of bank transactions belonging to the Office of the National Security Adviser.

A document containing details of disbursements made to the Nigerian armed forces and security agencies was also recovered during the raid.

Mr. Umar retired as an air commodore in the Nigerian Air Force in January 2014. While in service, he headed the Air Force’s Holding Company as well as the Air Force Properties Limited.


He retired into enormous wealth, officials involved in the investigations said.

Currently, he has six companies, including a private jet company with a fleet size of 10 aircraft, officials said.

Security sources also said he is also one of Abuja’s biggest property owners.

“Many top government functionaries live in his houses in Abuja,” a security source said. “He also has properties in Dubai and London.”

Mr. Umar became a close ally of President Buhari shortly after the 2015 elections.

Armed with a cache of information on Nigeria’s security contracts during the immediate past administration of Goodluck Jonathan, he soon became a key figure in the president’s investigative committee on arms procurement.

“He suggested most members of the panel,” another presidential source told Premium Times.
However, investigators said Mr. Umar’s swift rise to relevance in President Buhari’s administration was beginning to raise concerns regarding whether the new administration failed to conduct a thorough background check on him, or simply ignored the man’s past.

Officials said Mr. Umar was one of the first military officers to be arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission just years after the anti-graft agency was established.

He was detained for salary and procurement fraud in the Air Force, but the matter was later handed over to the military for trial, those familiar with the matter said.

Our sources said Mr. Umar was compelled to make refunds, and the matter was brushed aside allowing the man to return to the force.

Multiple officials told Premium Times that Mr. Umar’s stupendous wealth has always confounded several of his colleagues.
“As far back as 20 years ago, when his annual salary couldn’t afford a car, Mr. Umar had a private jet,” one source said.

Married to the daughter of a former Nigerian petroleum minister, Rilwan Lukman, Mr. Umar ran local and international businesses while he served in the Nigeria

You mean he ordered the arrest of Buratai, Feyemi, Silva, Amaechi, Audu Ogbe, Fashola etc? All of them have damning report against them. Who is Umar? Buhari has been biased that if he arrest an unknown politician or officer by the name Buhari, media in shock will hype it like he achieved the unimaginable.

Corruption us more on the Waste Side.
They are the people eating fat on Nigeria.
That is they and the northerners are enjoying the one Nigeria

Then they should feed their zombies that trash because we don't need Yahoo boys as scape goat. Feed us Buratai head on our plate and we will take you serious. The fight against corruption shouldn't be for the opposition

Wailers can cry from here to the lagoon, the fact remains that PMB has once again demonstrated his INCORRUPTIBILITY and lack of bias in the war against corruption. Only in sick twisted minds are there 'small looters' and 'big looters'.

This was Buhari's kinsman, loyalist and member of his anti-corruption squad that like Fayose, FFK and Diezani, was discovered to have skeletons in his cupboard and the President promptly ordered his arrest and investigation, and subsequent prosecution.

But then, these children of the ineffectual buffoon are so soaked in the culture of corruption and impunity that they would kick and scream whenever victory over those twin cancers are secured. The FG has cleared the air on Buratai and wailers can tie a rock to their necks and jump in the lagoon if they're not satisfied.
