We should not let our affiliation to a political party blind us to say what is right or wrong. We may be ignoring these red lights now, but may suffer it later. Fighting corruption is fine by me, but do it within the armbit of the law.

We should draw a line between fighting the opposition and fighting corruption. If all the people in government are saints and all the oppositions corrupt, then we should seriously watch this fight against corruption.
Has any of those arrested denied collecting money from Dasuki?
Did APC join PDP in looting the federal treasury?

We are closely watching the situation as it is unfolding. The red light will catch up with another person who has eaten from the treasury illegally.
I think it is due to the fact that PDP members were more involved in the looting's of Nigerians money and the fact that they were involved more at the federal level that made it looks like they are the only people under scrutiny.
Anyway, it's turn by turn. More people from the ruling party will surface on the radar.
One thing that is sure is that no one has been arrested that is not involved in the looting or eating of our yams voraciously.
So, let us not pity anyone whose turn it is to give account of his or her stewardship in the public service.
We all know that our public officers stole seriously from our treasury without thinking about the consequences on the people.
Let us not forget that their feasting on our money is responsible for the decay in the system.
Either by tribe or that of party affiliation, these treasury looters don't share their loot's with anybody outside their immediate family and friends.
Rules are made to guide human affairs. These looters had been breaking the rules for long.
Now that the rules is breaking them, we should not pity them as they have no pity for the masses.

If he eats Yam, then they must have gotten enough info. Drag him to court and present the info and evidences.

Which court order did they disobey?
Nnamdi Kanu: Court ordered that he be released unconditionally since the government did not charge him to court. He was then released, immediately rearrested and charged to court. He is now waiting to take his plea after which the issue of bail can then come up.
Dasuki: Court granted him bail, he met his bail condition and was released and immediately rearrested for another offence. Are you suggesting that if he went on to kill someone, or it was discovered that he killed someone he should not be arrested because the court in granting him bail for say money laundering said he should not be arrested? The law doesn't work that way and it is subject to interpretation. Ever wondered why his lawyers have not gone to court to challenge his rearrest?

The earlier Ekweremadu realised that PDP is dead , the better.
I can see how you're wishing deep within you that PDP dies. I bet you it won't die in this manner. If you want PDP dead, I would advise you to tell Buhari to be fair in this anticorruption war. Only then will he win the hearts of many Nigerians and canvas more support. Tell Buhari to provide good governance, create employment opportunities and be fair to everyone then PDP might not be strong again. What we are currently witnessing in the so-called anti-corruption war is worst than the alleged hate campaign staged by the PDP during the elections

Rule of law is the reason a lot of looters got away during GEJ's inglorious reign in Nigeria. Loot N1b, get N10m bail and go home to enjoy the loot. Case closed.

Anyone who did not follow the rule of law in looting/embezzlement should not expect rule of law to be followed in solitary confinement of his/her behind.

Buhari should lock all of them up and throw away the keys. Let the heaven fall.

DEPUTY President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu has warned that continued detention of the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh was designed by the Federal Government to gag the mouthpiece of the opposition.

Ekweremadu who stressed the need for the All Progressives Congress, APC led government to be cautious against the trampling of the opposition and total disregard for the rule of law in the guise of anti-corruption war, said that with this development, the country was fast descending into authoritarianism, adding that it spells doom on the nation’s democracy.

In a statement signed yesterday by his Special Adviser, Media, Uche Anichukwu, Senator Ekweremadu who reaffirmed the PDP’s support for a genuine anti-graft crusade, however, decried a situation where such crusade becomes a calculated attempt to decimate and silence the opposition, while members of the ruling party with serious corruption allegations go about their businesses.

The Deputy President of the Senate who was speaking in the light of the continued detention of Metuh, Senator Ekweremadu said,” the continued. detention of the PDP mouthpiece was an attempt to gag the opposition and therefore unhealthy for democracy.”

Warning against the corruption of the anti-corruption war, he argued
: “An anti-graft trap that catches only members of the opposition and those with axe to grind with the government of the day is compromised.”

He called on the nation to denounce and resist the prevailing situation where people are held in custody against the directives of the courts and laws of the land, insisting that there would be no justice without the rule of law.

Continuous stealing of our money is unconstitutional, unethical and undemocratic.
Senator Ike Ekweremadu should shut up and watch his own back. Regardless of what the blood suckers (thieves) think, say or do, the new Nigeria is here to stay.

May God bless this administration and our president, president Muhammadu Buhari.

I agree with the DSP. Mr. Metuh should quickly explain to the EFCC how he came about the money allegedly traced to his company's account so that he can be released.

I miss his press releases.... grin

The fight against corruption is commendable. It is not easy to summon the courage needed to fight corruption knowing your foes are formidable. However care should be taken that the fight would not be cast in bad light.A situation whereby you detain a person without laying charges against him,Flouting court orders and a one sided pursuit of corrupt politicians ( cos I can't be convinced in this Nigeria that its only PDP that ate yam) will not augur well for our nation.the presido should realise that he got his power from the constitution and that the same constitution grants certain rights to all these detainees.
