topeayan:This is where folks like you that aver such weird submission get it wrong! The fact that person A is prosecuted and person B is not does not take away the culpability of person A. Simply put, non of these folks are PERSECUTED but PROSECUTED because after much grilling by the EFCC NON of them has claimed non-culpability. All we hear are the same flimsy excuses that folks like you fall for! Folks like you who opine such "If we can't catch person A, we should let ALL of them go" position, would rather we open our prison doors and let EVERYONE out because we cant catch ALL the armed robbers out there. Isn't that the height of inanity? Son, if SELECTIVE PROSECUTION will bring a bit of sanity in this system, then am all for it! If the SELECTIVE PROSECUTION had been sustained through successive govts from OBJ till now, close your imagine how Nigeria wd have been by now! For the different names folks like you keep throwing about that you believe should be prosecuted, their day in court will come. This ones been rubbished never believed that today will come knocking, so chill and stop creating an untenable position! Its only Nigerians like you that never see an armed robber out there (who does exactly the same thing as these politicians) as been SELECTIVELY PROSECUTED but you are quick to defend politicians who dont give a damn about you. Concernin leaving them ALL to face the economy like you suggested, how do you leave so much cash in the hands of rogie politicians who can make a mess of our national security vis a vis economy. The Avengers comes to mind....this is one among many things they can do because of disposable cash in their possession! 3 Likes |

sekundosekundo: -Tinubu did not decamp since 1999. He was around for 8 years without immunity (PDP did nothing) - Aisha Buhari was without immunity for 16years (PDP did nothing) - Atiku was without immunity for 8 years. He even left the party to another party - Obasanjo was without immunity for 8 years. He tore his party card. - Buhari was without immunity for 16 years contesting every election. So we prefer a Govt that will do 0 sided anti corruption crusade instead of 1 sided ? Naaaa... I dnt think so. 4 Likes 1 Share |

To those shouting selective fight against corruption, you should remember that Jonathan is still a free man and so is Okonjo Iweala, Reuben Abati among many others who served under Jonathan.. Na turn by turn..Moreover, Those who worked with PDP, served PDP government. You cannot go and arrest people who did not serve in PDP govt to come and account for how PDP squandered our money. Few months ago, one would think that Fayose has been left off the hook. Don't be surprised when event takes a new turn. You cannot arrest every thieves all at once. Investigation takes time. Buhari call this fight, "war against corruption". Emphasy on the word "war". In war, you dont let your enemy knows about your tactics. You pounce on them unawares. Jafaru Issa is another APC Chieftain that is being investigated. $2.1bn arms cash: EFCC arrests APC chieftain, Jafaru Isa. Vanguard. JANUARY 7, 2016 The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), yesterday night, arrested a former military Governor of Kaduna State and chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Brig-Gen. Lawal Jafaru Isa (reted). Why Buhari ordered arrest of close ally and arms panel member, Umar June 28, 2016 Premium Times. President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the arrest of a key member of the panel investigating the mismanagement of public funds meant for the war against Boko Haram after receiving damning reports that he was involved in alleged money laundering and illegal possession of firearms, reliable security and presidency sources have told PREMIUM TIMES. Despite being his close ally and loyalist, Mr. Buhari okayed the arrest of Mohammed Umar, after perusing reports alleging that the retired Air Force officer ran a blackmailing and extortion cartel, officials said. Mr. Umar was arrested last week as operatives of the State Security Service (SSS) raided his Abuja home. Those familiar with the matter said before moving against the retired officer, the Director General of the SSS, Lawal Daura, met with Mr. Buhari where he tabled reports suggesting that the panel member had been busy using the name of the president and other top officials of the administration to intimidate, extort and blackmail individuals and businesses. “The president became worried and jittery when he was confronted with the way a man he trusted had been behaving,” a presidency source said. “So he ordered that he should be picked up while the allegations against him are thoroughly investigated.” Security sources told this newspaper that documents seized from Mr. Umar’s residence during a raid on June 19 included classified documents from the president’s office, details of government transactions from the Central Bank of Nigeria, and details of bank transactions belonging to the Office of the National Security Adviser. A document containing details of disbursements made to the Nigerian armed forces and security agencies was also recovered during the raid. Mr. Umar retired as an air commodore in the Nigerian Air Force in January 2014. While in service, he headed the Air Force’s Holding Company as well as the Air Force Properties Limited. He retired into enormous wealth, officials involved in the investigations said. Currently, he has six companies, including a private jet company with a fleet size of 10 aircraft, officials said. Security sources also said he is also one of Abuja’s biggest property owners. “Many top government functionaries live in his houses in Abuja,” a security source said. “He also has properties in Dubai and London.” Ally or double agent? Mr. Umar became a close ally of President Buhari shortly after the 2015 elections. Armed with a cache of information on Nigeria’s security contracts during the immediate past administration of Goodluck Jonathan, he soon became a key figure in the president’s investigative committee on arms procurement. “He suggested most members of the panel,” another presidential source told PREMIUM TIMES. However, investigators said Mr. Umar’s swift rise to relevance in President Buhari’s administration was beginning to raise concerns regarding whether the new administration failed to conduct a thorough background check on him, or simply ignored the man’s past. Officials said Mr. Umar was one of the first military officers to be arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission just years after the anti-graft agency was established. He was detained for salary and procurement fraud in the Air Force, but the matter was later handed over to the military for trial, those familiar with the matter said. Our sources said Mr. Umar was compelled to make refunds, and the matter was brushed aside allowing the man to return to the force. Multiple officials told PREMIUM TIMES that Mr. Umar’s stupendous wealth has always confounded several of his colleagues. “As far back as 20 years ago, when his annual salary couldn’t afford a car, Mr. Umar had a private jet,” one source said. Married to the daughter of a former Nigerian petroleum minister, Rilwan Lukman, Mr. Umar ran local and international businesses while he served in the Nigerian Air Force, one source said. Cash Only According to court documents seen by PREMIUM TIMES, Mr. Umar carried out his recent deals in cash only. Despite owning a private jet company and multiple real estates across the world, the total amount traced to his bank accounts was only N165 million. The total value of currencies evacuated from his residence during the raid was at least N300 million. Security officials believe he received the cash payments – in breach of the money laundering law. Investigators are also trying to determine whether the cash were proceeds of illicit deals and influence peddling. Those close to him told PREMIUM TIMES that part of the cash taken from Mr. Umar’s home were payments for services rendered by his private jet company, Easy Jet Integrated Services Limited – from two cargo flights from Nairobi to Houston and Nairobi to Hong Kong. Investigators said they are working to verify the claims. Other properties seized from the retired officer’s home during the raid include 13 luxury cars – One Range Rover, two Rolls Royce, two Bentleys, one BMW 7-series, one Mercedes 5550, one Lexus Sports, one Audi R8 and one Porsche Panamera GTs. As of Monday, Mr. Umar was still held at the State Security Service detention centre in Abuja as security officials continued with investigations into the matter. The presidency refused to comment for this story saying it was within the scope of the National Security Adviser (NSA). |

[quote author=AntiWailer post=47636573] So should those who have not decamped be left alone at least ?[/quote After all the so talked about recovered loots what are they telling you; 'Nigeria is broke' i guess?. Even the people they claimed to have rescued from Boko Haram they end up killing them through stolen / diversion of their food. (starvation). The worst I will do is to cast my vote to an ANCESTOR who have not invested in any meaningful thing for the past 32years. I voted last for Abiola and since then, I have not seen any credible candidate to cast my vote to. SEKUNDO HAVE SPOKEN. |

AntiWailer:You actually belong to the greatest world wide enemies, the Islamists, whose mission is to cause deaths and destruction. It would have be more natural, acceptable and at the end bring about peace if two thieves are caught, all of them tried and if found guility, be given the suitable and equal punishment. If out of the two thieves, one is left to go free, whether of government, group, individual will not only come face to face with God's punishment, whatever the outcome of that action will be on the leader's head and its supporters. Buhari is bending natural justice because he is on top today. The most destructives aspect of what Buhari is doing is that all those wrong doings will be referred to and be used by subsequent governments. It means those evil and wrong doings will continue to destroy the system and at the end draw us back for ever and ever. By that time, you will know why it is not good to be an evil man. The cries of all those people tried, punished despite the fact that they accussed without prove yet, will be like fire in time to come. All these complaints, angers, killings,sudden deaths etc are as a result of this devilish ways of this government. Know it today that these frustrations by those suffering may turn out to be happiness tomorrow because God, Mohammed never agree with one sided punishment. 1 Like |

AntiWailer:But, going by Buhari's characteristics, it will be better to only deal with those who have proven cases becuase even the devil will never believe apc. Besides, I will prefer the almighty corruption to continue provided my tenants can remain in their employment and pay my rents, provided, the banks, companies and organisations can function without closing down, provided Nigerians will not exchange their children for buckets of rice, garri etc. I will prefer corruption provided this unbearable hardship, groaning, suffocations, frustrations, sudden deaths will not be there.

Drabeey:Well, in the case of Baba Falae, to me I don't see any issue in a party without presidential candidate to give her solidarity to any chosen candi date just as they supported PDP during the last election. If PDP decides to mobilize them with cash, it was not wrong and there is no way Falae can trace such money to Dasukigate. After all, many people contributed funds to President Buhari campaign including notable questionable personalities. I didn't hear that he reject such fund. However, saying that he divided the money between himself and the party maybe not be the business of EFCC as well. Lets be frank here. The corruption fight of this Government to me logically, it may not be totally from a Nigeria patriotic mind. Very soon, we shall see the end of the whole drama and the truth will be revealed |

To start with, i'm apolitical, i dnt support apc or pdp. I'm for good governance. Its a known fact that Buhari's probe is one-sided (against pdp). Even the blind can testify but thats Nigerian politics. So my joy is "probe and arrest whoever stole public funds" even though the probe is lopsided...for now. Another dispensation will come after other rival party criminals and by that Nigeria will have a balanced equation. Thats law of karma. Let them keep witch hunting themselves till the common Nigerians (you and i) triump. So at the end of the day its a win-win for Nigerians and collosal loss for our rougue Politicians. |

blissbay: I share your sentiments, the EFCC does too, that is why it is giving those with them yams, the opportunity to return them without further prosecution. “We are not victimising any political party or investigating the source of campaign funds. All we are doing is tracing the billions of dollars stolen from the ONSA account. Once you return the money, you will have no problem.” OTOH, morally, Baba with his wealth of experience his aware of the massive looting and naked native stealing going on under Jonathan, and he was ready to support the same candidate for peanuts, selling we his people to penury -- that's moral treachery, or chicanery if you will! |
