Ex Governor Ibrahim Shema of Katsina State,has blasted the EFCC for declaring him wanted over an alleged N76bn fraud in the media.

In a statement addressed to EFCC Chairman Ibrahim Magu, Shema said the act was unwarranted.

“Without any formal invitation to me, the EFCC purported, by a letter dated June 17, 2016, sent to a wrong address of Wole Olanipekun & Co. asking the law firm to make Dr. Ibrahim Shehu Shema available for an interview with the undersigned on Tuesday, June 28, 2016. The letter was signed by Hyecinth A. Edozie.

“Despite the incongruity in the way and manner the invitation was extended to me through a counsel – and also through a wrong address of the same counsel, and notwithstanding the fact that I was already billed to travel to Saudi Arabia for the lesser hajj (Umrah) on the appointment day, I cancelled all the engagements to honour the invitation with my counsel on the said June 28, 2016, only to be informed, around 10am on that day, that the interview would no longer hold, as Mr. Hyecinth A. Edozie was out of Abuja, and that a new date, after Sallah, would be communicated.”

“To date, the EFCC has not responded to the said letter, suggesting any date,” he said.

He said he was therefore shocked to read in the dailies that he had been declared wanted by the EFCC.

“As a senior citizen of this country, a legal practitioner of 32 years post-call experience, and a two-time Governor of Katsina State, I not only feel seriously embarrassed, disturbed, surprised and confounded by the report sponsored by EFCC, but also feel sorry for our dear country.

“I feel sorry for the pitiable situation we have found ourselves as Nigerians where and when a sacred institution like the EFCC is pressurised and used to sponsor fake, false, malicious, misleading and unfounded allegations against someone like me, who the EFCC has not at any time accused of fraud, embezzlement, inflation of contract, or any misdemeanour at all.

“The EFCC deliberately embarked on false propaganda against me and my person by positing that I have ignored several invitations which it extended to me.”

Human beings can be funny. Why is it that whenever an allegations of stealing are laid against office holders, people like u always get uncomfortable? Do u know what is 76B? Even the beneficiaries of these loot are not even as touchy as u and ur folks on matters like this, so I ask; are these the youths clamouring for leadership positions? God forbid.

SHEMA just report yourself to the head office of EFCC That is all .

In as much as the efcc is trying to fight corruption,they should go about it the right way....you can't declare someone wanted unless you've exhausted all possible ways to get thru to them...

Says who? anyway declaring him wanted is one of the best possible ways, he should report himself.

Don't mind efcc which is the vendetta arm of the apc government led my mohd buhari.
It will be recalled that shema worked against bubu in 2011 and was solidly behind gej...
They haven't finished with sule lamido now they are picking on another fight from another direction instead of facing the economy.
According to lai mohd , money recovered from looters not enough to inflate the economy. So, why bother....?

Clueless government..


Choosing wrong battles

Their problem!

A politician without skeleton in his cupboard wouldn't be pursued by EFCC. He is just responding to a letter since June.

Be a Man like Sule Lamido who didn't run away from the country.

Buhari's boys should calm down
I no call person name oh before dem go declare me for newspaper tomorrow oh

God dey

Buhari never forgets nor forgives.
Shema was a turn in his flesh when he was governor, not forgetting when he (Shema) said he will crush APC like cockroaches in Katsina state.

EFCC should not have declared such a gentleman wanted without formal invitation

Bad

K

if you did nothing wrong and you don't have anything to fear, then go and answer your name, why this propaganda to gain public sympathy?

What if you sleep tonight&wakeup tomorrow morning,just to realize all the past years,u've been dreaming and in actual fact, u are waking up to prepare for school,you are actually in SS2, and all your university life has been a dream. Just imagine, SS2, Waec, UTME ,100L/200L.
Worst part of it you have not done your assignment on simultaneous equation given to submit nxt day.


What will u do?


Gudnyt to u all...

Shema did fantastically well in Katsina. He built on Yar'adua's foundation which Masari ( Buhari's stooge) is currently destroying.

Can u imagine a governor buying coffins for his people instead of buying hospital equipments for effective treatment.
