Bayelsa State Governor, Alamieyeseigha, Arrested In London!

that is what i have been saying. all the governors save one are all doing the same thing that has been happening since 1985- looting the country dry. i would not be surprised that when 'alan-thief' comes back to nigeria, he'll be welcomed with a chieftaincy title. THE ONLY SOLUTION TO CORRUPTION IN THIS COUNTRY IS PUNISHMENT BY DEATH PENALTY; believe it or not.
shame on obasanjo and his so called EFCC

Don't be surprise if he escape jail in London.  They will find a way to beat the law.  I personally hope he goes to jail to show no one is above the law, and maybe people will start thinking twice before they loot.

now the already imponded gov's wife has been hijacked alonside her husband. it's been suggested that she will be charged with aiding and albeiting financial crime(whatever that means).
  while i don't hold any brief for her, or have any personal relationship with the alamiesiya's, i think this whole battle of fight against corruption is being taken to an unreasonable proportion.  i mean..if her husband is alleged to have siphoned public funds from a goverment she's not part of ( at least constitutionally), and she's been held on grounds of aiding him, then i think that is just not fair. wont be suprised if they eventually clamp down on their children.

  how be it, i think this whole arrested issue is a point to a lapse in our legal system. because if we were efficient, we wont be leaving our duties to foreigners.

strictly my opinion...your say?

About time, the Gov denied the money, so it has to be her money, since they jointly own the house. someone own the money.  and the Gov is a coward to put his wife and family in this mess. He should take responsibility for his action like a real man .

Dude I doubt if the looting governor's wife would be unaware of where all that money came from.  A quarter of a million pounds spending cash was found in her possession, and amusingly she claimed that she intended to use it to purchase sewing machines for the impoverished women of Nigeria's Bayelsa State, whose treasury her husband had fleeced so comprehensively.

I have never held political office in any country, but I am certain that I would see the inside of a cold jail cell if I were ever stupid enough to be in possession of stolen money or property.  In such a hypothetical situation, I cannot imagine an arresting officer paying any attention to my protestation that I ought to be set free since I didn't sign the checks used to siphon the cash.  In this light, any over 18 children of the kleptomaniac governor should also face the music.

Well this is going to serve as a good example to our state govenors because they are too found of this doing it.
