The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC today, Wednesday, January 13th, arraigned one Felix Tangwami, a former chairman Demsa Local Government Area of Adamawa state, before Justice Helen Nuhu Hamman Joda of Adamawa State High Court, sitting in Yola, on a five-count charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretense to the tune of N981, 468, 000.00.

A statement by the EFCC's spokesperson Wilson Uwujaren, states that Tangwami, in his capacity as the council boss, used his position to award a a number of contracts to companies where he has interests and failed to deliver on the contract terms.

These include: Contracts for supply of cerebrospinal meningitis vaccines awarded in favour of Binam Integrated Services Ltd; supply of VVF Oral Vaccines for Immunization against typhoid in favor of Nchaloro Nigeria Ltd; supply of 500 units of motorcycles to be distributed to all the Local government Areas in Adamawa State in favor of Bange Integrated service Ltd; building of a school for technical skill acquisition in Numan in favor of Bange Company Ltd.

I like this new breed of judges :N500m bail for N950m fraud. Just beautiful.Even these upgraded bail conditions are enough to deter some thieves.
I expect Metuh's N1.4b fraud charge to be set at N1b bail when it goes to court.

Adamawa! A state very synonymous with corruption. I doubt if any state can compete for d trophy in Nigeria, even Abia under orji was a learner. Since we began this republic 17yrs ago, they've never got it right.
