The office of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) has revealed how over $1.30million cash was recovered from the Abuja home of a member of committee set up by President Muhammadu Buhari to investigate procurement of arms and equipment in the Armed Forces, Air Commodore Umar Mohammed (rtd).

A lawyer representing the office, Shuaibu Labaran, said upon receiving intelligence reports, operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) stormed Umar’s home, conducted a search and recovered $1,030,000 cash and other currencies at the military officer’s residence.

Labaran said some sensitive official documents (which he refused to name) and two pump action guns (marked: SBSG Magnum 397 and SBGS Interpress 09-1573) were also recovered during the search.

He gave the house address as No 4 Lungi Close, Mississippi, Maitama, Abuja.

Labaran spoke while making his opening remark, as the lead prosecution lawyer in the trial of Mohammed and his firm, EasyJet Integrated Services Limited, before Justice John Tsoho, of the Federal High Court, Abuja.

Under the Administration of Criminal Act (ACJA) 2015, a prosecutor is required, before the commencement of trial, to render an opening statement, containing a summary of his/her case against the defendant.

Earlier, Labaran told the court that the prosecution has complied with the order for Umar’s release from DSS’ custody, having fulfilled his bail condition, following which he applied to make the opening statement.

Lead defence lawyer, Hassan Liman (SAN), confirmed Umar’s release from the DSS custody.

He said his client was released on December 2.

^ ^ ^ People change when under pressure or in power . . . But I trust the number 1 anti-corruption crusader - Buhari, to change those people.

Firefire:


Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are...


Its takes a high level kworupt man to appoint several kwurupts people as his aids.


SHAME on the useless Kworoption fights.

What makes you think Buhari knows everybody he appoints one-on-one or personally. That was one of Jonathan's mistake, he kept appointing his village people and tribe.

Can you now see that there is very little Muhammadu Buhari can do if you and I do not change our mindset? Imagine this unfortunate issue, a man that was selected to investigate the stealing of our money, he too went behind to steal. Can Buhari alone do everything? Now, who can Buhari trust?

Corruption will surely fight back but I know that it won't succeed . . . Not under this admin.
