EFCC Detains Social Investment Scheme Coordinator, Halima Shehu by ogododo: 8:12am On Jan 03
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested and detained the suspended National Coordinator and Chief Executive Officer, CEO, of the National Social Investment Programme Agency, NSIPA, Halima Shehu.

DAILY POST reports that the arrest came a few hours after President Bola Tinubu approved her suspension over the suspicious movement of N17 billion from NSIPA account to some other accounts within one week.

The embattled CEO was accused of approving payment of billions of naira by the agency without presidential approval.

It was gathered that operatives of the EFCC, who were drafted to the National Coordinator’s private office and home, got her arrested at about 8 pm on Tuesday.

According to The Nation, after searching her home and office, Halima was taken into custody at about 9 pm for interrogation.

It was also gathered that the EFCC was closing in on a director of the agency, who was allegedly complicit in the huge payments into the suspicious accounts.

Hmmmmmm
This story is suprising,how can a Government official move 17 Billion within 3 months of her appointment,Kai that must enter the Guinness Record Book as the fastest time any government official took to pilfer the Treasury in Nigeria.
I'm sure,though that the woman involved couldn't have done it without the help of some core civil servants.
I think it's time the Head of Service sends a bill to the National Assembly with urgent alacrity.
The Civil service rules must be amended, any civil servant who engages in any kind of pilfering or connives with anyone to steal from the government should be dismissed.
I know a civil servant can't be dismissed from service because of issues of corruption,but things have to done to decapitate these very corrupt government officials.
As far as those Corrupt civil servant are still in service they will continue to misadvise any minister,or official posted to their agency or Ministry.
For the Secretary,I wish her well,if her allegations are proven,she should be made a scapegoat for other appointees of this Government.
And for Asiwaju,I praise him for the quick action he took in suspending the Woman,that was one of the weakness of Baba Buhari, his lethargic attitude enabled corruption to fester in Nigeria.
I'm sure if it was Baba Buhari,he would not respond to the allegations for another 6 months,and when he decides to respond, he will form a committee to investigate the allegations,after the investigation is finished,the president will pass the recommendation of the committee to office of the Attorney-General.
Mr Malami will now form another committee to recommend action points on what to do the Secretary,that will take another 3 months,I wonder how corruption will not fester in that kind of environment.
When someone is accused of corruption, suspend the offical,ask the agency to investigate,and within 3 weeks,relive her of her duty and take her to court.
That's the easiest way to fight corruption.
God bless Nigeria.

These social support schemes were used by the Buhari administration to siphon trillions with his tribesmen unfortunately,the Yorubas are out to do the same under Tinubu.

Nothing will come out of this. EFCC will give a media show of arrest and detention and something will exchange hands, that's all. How many conviction of political suspects have EFCC secured? Akpabio, Obiano, Kalu, where are they. They will shamelessly jubilate securing conviction of Yahoo boys but the real thieves are working the streets free, some of them are even making laws as lawmakers.

How was it possible for Halima Shehu to move N17b without presidential approval when such approval was prerequisite for moving the money? Like I said, a day will come when story will be told about this current generation of leaders in Nigeria and people will laugh tired.
This generation of public office holders is what I called, a lost generation.

Nice move by Tinubu. This energy should be sustained with the searchlight beamed at every MDA irrespective of who is heading it. Tinubu has the opportunity to write his name on gold regarding fighting corruption, unlike his predecessors. He has nothing to lose. He virtually has everything. He should make this country great again. Anyone who is not ready to work under him or engage in corrupt practices should be fished out and prosecuted.

This is a very good one on president Tinubu. This was how they messed up Buhari's government and the mumu man didn't do anything about it. Who remembers malami, that minister of disaster etc everything is buhari's name. President Tinubu should let them know that if they mess things up they will answer for it.

Only Unreasonable people will think that corruption is easy to fight in a country whereby corruption look like water that they drink daily.
Take it or leave it Tinubu is taking hard step..
Most northerners will take those steps has nailing their people. But the truth is we must do the necessary if we want change.
Talk is cheap guys ...
If you are to fight corruption, you will be fighting with top guys in Oil, CBN, etc.
Don't forget that the masses are also corrupt so taking masses to fill those gap won't change it.
Someone will said enact a rule. Rules hardly stands where corruption is deepen. If you don't believe in corruption what about ur brothers, friends. Peter Obi cant be president and also be Ministers....
Can only work out IF U ARE READY TO GIVE ALL U HAVE TO FIGHT IT. INCLUDING UR LIFE... Bcus it will take the Grace of God to survive it. Nigerians don't want the Truth. They only want someone who can be there as benefit to them . Selfishness
