Matawalle's $2m Bribe Hoax: EFCC Will Not Bandy Words with Suspect

The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has been drawn to a trending interview granted to the Hausa Service of the British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC, by Bello Muhammed Matawalle, governor of Zamfara State, where he allegedly made wild bribery allegations against the Executive Chairman of the Commission, Mr. Abdulrasheed Bawa

Matawalle's recourse to mudslinging is symptomatic of a drowning man clutching at straws. But despite the irritation of his phantom claims, the Commission will not be drawn into a mud fight with a suspect under its investigation for corruption and unconscionable pillage of the resources of his state. If Matawalle will be taken seriously, he should go beyond sabre-rattling by spilling the beans - provide concrete evidence as proof of his allegations.

Again, the Commission wishes to alert the public about plans by some of the alleged corrupt politically exposed persons to flee the country ahead of May 29. The Commission is working in close collaboration with its international partners to frustrate these escape plans and bring those involved to justice.

If it is the way you handle Yahoo boys you handle these politicians like that too them for nor get mind dey talk anyhow... Meanwhile the major supporters of corruption in Nigeria is the Judiciary. Make dem make me EFCC chair for only one year and watch me eradicate corruption

Very painful! Loosing election as a Sitting Governor is challenging, you can cry louder Sir!

The Baba with a full squad (+ reserves) of children should come forward with his evidence and stop trying to discredit and distract the EFCC

But u gat to clear d air on that

Wahala
Almost all our leaders are criminals

We know.

Una get shame before? Can your agency account for all the recovered loot and properties from people? I saw a video this morning of your useless workers going into one hostel, packing all their properties including generator. Shame catch me for una.

One day one day
Monkey go go market, he no go come back.

You’re only interested in perceived enemies meanwhile the worst looters and scammers are in your offices and also in government house and you fools turn blind eyes.

Keep flexing muscles, one day, e go happen for this country

EFCC should just shut up there. Have they ever investigated Malami with all the corruption allegations on his head?? Stupid Bawa yapping nonesense

Bring out evidence!

Tinubu gave Apapa N500M

Where is the proof/evidence?

Hausaefcc 😀

This issue will be resolved in the parlor of one imam.

Unless he has a solid evidence to prove his case, I think he messed up....


Well, a strong case was established against the police officer Abba Kyari on 419 and drug, yet they are hiding him instead of taking him to the USA....

Investigate Malami how? You need to understand that unfortunately there are certain untouchables in government. The Attorney General is far more powerful than the EFCC head - as a prosecuting body, the EFCC is subject to the direction of the Attorney General. So how do they want to investigate someone that can start, stop, take over or end any prosecution whatsoever with a simple written order?

So u guys have now belittled our own popularly elected governor,who was also unanimously confirmed by d supreme court to a common criminal or suspect?

It is simple; did you or did you not ask for a $2m bribe?

All this rigmarole no dey work!

I blame Matawalle, he should have done what Otedola did to Lawan; catch the crook on video in a sting operation!

Bawa is Malami's stooge

Tinubu is the Grand Corruption of the Federal Republic GCFR

Go to court and answer your case

Please, for the sake of decency and the strengthening of our democracy, "trade words with" this "suspect". That's the wish of most hapless Nigerians!

Just imagine
