I guess im the only one tired of arrests without conviction. since 1999, we can count how many public service holders convicted for fraud by efcc. i doubt if they are up to or more than 5. So does that mean our judiciary system is 'faulty' or Efcc don't have good lawyers or that our politicians are not corrupt? Im just fed up with all this to be honest. the last one convicted was told to pay back 1/10000 of the loot, i wonder how that works

ademoladeji:
A former governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim, has been arrested by the Economic and FINANCIAL Crimes COMMISSION, EFCC.

Mr. Ohakim, governor between 2007 and 2011, was arrested Thursday at about 10.05 am at his residence in the Asokoro district of Abuja.

A source at the commission said an invitation was sent to the former governor but that he failed to turn up Wednesday as advised.

EFCC operatives, who had been on his trail for days, our source said, stormed his residence Thursday and drove him in an unmarked car to the commission’s headquarters in the Maitama district of the nation’s CAPITAL.

He is currently being detained, with his interrogation expected to begin later in the day.

The source said the former governor has questions to answer concerning a number of PROPERTY allegedly traced to him.

Also, a former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has willingly surrendered himself for questioning almost the same time Mr. Ohakim was brought into the EFCC’s headquarters in Abuja.

He is currentl‎y been quizzed by the commission’s operatives over alleged bribery and MONEY laundering offences.

No big deal. He is not above the
law.
If he has a case to answer, let him
answer it. I know this is selective
Justice, as there are several
people far more corrupt than
Ikedi Ohakim walking as free men. But if
Ikedi Ohakim is found wanting, let him face the law!

Let's start from someone.

Everything is already being politicized.
'selective justice'
'witch hunting'
'apc and okorocha's handwork'

Yet Nigerians want govt to fight corruption to zero level
Maybe, Nigerians should draw up a roaster of who to start with first.
Painful that the victims of corruption defend the corrupt.
Is this ignorance, tribalism, bigotry or lack of common sense?

And that is what some of you have refused to learn. A complex society such a Nigeria and its multi ethnic challenges and ethnocentrism cannot be rid of corruption through the noisy arrest and jail methods.

Every attempt will be politicized and regionalied and would not end corruption either as our patriotism ends at our regions.

Our systems are so porous that every public office holder is jail worthy by default. We must fix these systems first ..... And make it tough to loot public funds.

Only after the systems are fixed can we narrow down to the few offenders who will attempt to bypass the system. For now, both the prosecutor and accused are corrupt.

GEJ was the man that saw through these ramblings and noise

Kim Kim don enter; meanwhile, the fatter ones are frolicking in Hilltop houses and state-of-the-art mansions all over Naija.

Hopefully, any recovery from Kim Kim must be returned to IMSG. Imo needs cash to complete the too many uncompleted projects in the state - including the ones Kim Kim left behind.
