The day of reckoning is here. After walking free for about two years, former Minister of Interior, Abba Moro, and four others are now set to face trial for their roles in the shoddy March 15, 2014 immigration recruitment exercise that killed no fewer than 20 job seekers across the country.
After investigating the matter for five months, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has now slammed an 11- count charge bordering on obtaining by false pretence, procurement fraud and money laundering on Mr Moro; permanent secretary of the ministry at the time, Anastasia Daniel-Nwobia; a deputy director in the ministry, F.

Crucify him...crucify him

The day of reckoning.

Thank God
I tot moro was gonna go free...


If you av always wished for dis hit like

Jonathan sef!

The man should not be left off the hook, he should be made to pay for the sins he committed in the past. He should return the millions of Naira he took from the poor job seekers and be shut in prison for killing some of them.

Homicide charge dey wait.

Nigeria looters are too much . ... Spray them with " ota pia pia"

Let him pay for those lives!

This was one litmus test jonathan failed massively.
ABBA Moro should have been fired immediately.
What's it with Nigerians agencies asking people to pay monies before recruiting and still have provisions in their budgets for online portals and related data activities.

I am a supporter if this administration and APC as a Party but am beginning to get pissed off at the way EFCC prosecute their cases as in the case of Metuh. I just hope they av strong evidence against him. They should begin to do thorough jobs and not a media war with no convictions.
