INTROVERT:
EFCC haff wake up.

tbaba1234:
The rate at which EFCC is charging people to court since May 29 is nothing short of remarkable. This is a clear departure from the last administration when they were almost comatose and all you needed to do to be safe is switch to the president's party. Sule Lamido was refused bail and remanded in custody. Ohakim was given bail at N270M.

Let's hope that they can prosecute the cases properly and that the Judiciary hands down appropriate punishments.

Really !

The same EFCC that freed Sylva who was Buhari's committee chairman

It is the fear of Buhari that caused it in the fullness of time it shall change

Lamido is a very charismatic leader. He controls huge followership in the north and beyond

How many votes (%) did his party, PDP receive in the last elections - presidency, governor, senate, reps, state assembly

Thanks

Court Grants Ohakim N270m Bail For N270m Fraud

A Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday granted a former Governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim, bail in the sum of N270m.

Ohakim, who is being prosecuted for N270m fraud allegedly perpetrated in 2008, is to produce a surety resident in Abuja to guarantee the bail.
Justice Adeniyi Ademola, in his ruling on the bail application, filed by Ohakim, also ordered the prosecuting agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, ‎to submit the passport and other travel documents seized from the former governor to the Deputy Chief Registrar of the court.

The judge was silent on where the accused person should remain pending when he would meet the bail conditions.

But Justice Ademola had, on Wednesday, ordered the accused person to remain in EFCC custody pending the hearing of his bail application on Thursday.

At the hearing of the bail application on Thursday, the defence counsel, Chief Chris Uche (SAN), urged the court to grant his client’s prayer.

He said his client, whose passport had been seized by the EFCC, had remained faithful to the bail conditions granted him by the anti-graft agency.

But the prosecutor, Mr. Festus Keyamo, opposed the bail.

He argued that rather than granting bail to the accused person‎, the court should grant an accelerated hearing.

But the judge in his ruling held that the accused person had placed sufficient materials before the court to warrant granting him bail.

The EFCC had on Wednesday arraigned Ohakim on three counts of fraud, including making cash payment of $2.29m (N270m) for a property in Asokoro, Abuja.

The prosecution also accused the former governor of collaborating with Tweenex Consociates H.D. Ltd. ‎to conceal the ownership of the property by drafting an agreement portraying him as a tenant in the property.

Ohakim, who was governor of Imo State between May 2007 and May 2001, was also accused of failing to declare the property as part of his assets while under EFCC arrest in November 2008.

The offences were allegedly committed in 2008 in violation of section 15(1)(d) and section 14(1)(b) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2004, respectively.

Meanwhile, Justice Evoh Chukwu of the same Federal High Court in Abuja, had on Wednesday fixed hearing of the bail application filed by former Adamawa State governor, Murtala Nyako, his son Abdul-Aziz and others till Friday.

The EFCC had also on Wednesday arraigned Nyako, who was removed as Adamawa State Governor by the state House of Assembly on July 15, 2014, along with his son, Abdul-Aziz, and others comprising, Zulkifikk Abba, Abubakar Aliyu as well as five firms through which he allegedly siphoned about N29bn belonging to the state.

‎The other firms arraigned along with Nyako and his son were Blue Opal Limited, Sebore Farms and Extension Limited, Pagoda Fortunes Limited, Tower Assets Management Limited and Crust Energy Limited.

EFCC Please when will TA ORJI of Abia State be arraigned. Can't wait for the guys to be transferred to Ekwuluobia prison.

Why could the state lawmakers not impeach him?

Why should we all wait, like IMPOTENT people, for just one person- the president to deal with ALL the 36 state governors who are stealing OUR money and we know but decide to wait till the fullness of time?

The same scenario is playing out with those state governors who owe salaries either fully or partially in terms of deductions that are not duly remitted. Why are we not pressing for their IMPEACHMENT?

Is that not DUMB

Is this not one of the main reasons why we remain un-evolved, primitive scumbags to our longer-nosed fellow homo sapiens, easily excited by glittering things that have very little real value to our development?

Let's not consider the merit of similar cases since outcome of any court proceedings solely rely on merit of the argument being put to scrutiny in front of the presiding judge.

Rich people are usually able to get away with murder because they can afford the best lawyers not necessarily because they can buy justice.

He was probably remanded because he could have disappeared or whatever. We don't have the details so we can't speculate

I just want us to focus on the charges he is facing for now

We are already speculating without having all the details but then that is what real life is about- speculating to fill the gaps in information. So no biggie.

I have made my point with you, I believe, so time to move on.
Cheers.

Well said...The thieves should also feel the heat...

When the SHOW is over for the targeted victims the stealing will CONTINUE unabated because there is no SYSTEMATIC approach that is based on law & order for fighting corruption.

That was the case with OBJ's failed anti-corruption haphazard media shows even with the country at the bottom last of Transparency International rankings.

How many of those jailed by his EFCC are not enjoying themselves when he was also the Baba of Corruption himself with many scandals

...F A C T.. C H E C K ...

'Obasanjo and Atiku in 8 years built one UNIVERSITY each for themselves....Bells and ABTI.
They built NONE for Nigerians.

Jonathan and Sambo in 4 years built 14 (FOURTEEN) new universities for all Nigerians.
NONE for themselves.

NOTE: OBJ and ATIKU are now consultants/sponsors/piloters/members of APC....
They too are seeking CHANGE!!!

I choose TRANSFORMATION than this their CHANGE.
What about you

He is being remanded in custody not sentenced

Why do you always close eyes then deliberately point at others when being challenged?

Have they stopped wike from probing Amaechi?

BTW: What's with your obsession with posting gifs/clips/articles with no relevance whatsoever with topic of discussion.
You deliberate tactics to divert attention won't work with me.

Stay on topic and let's iron this shyte out

Do you think Lamido being arraigned and denied bail is a step in the right direction. If you don't, tell us why!

Being arraigned is a a step in the right direction.

Being remanded in prison for two months is NOT and smells of witch-hunting particularly when you consider that others have worse corruption but are posting pictures of relaxing in their house in Abuja.

jaybee3:
What exactly were you insinuating about your brainless vengeance comment and annoyingly trying to tie the judgement with lamido's refusal to join the G7?

Was he guilty of getting kickback or Not?

Should he be getting kickbacks for contracts awarded

Should public servants be deliberately interfering with bidding processes to enrich their pockets?

They get kick backs and wickedly share the disbursed funds or deliver substandard projects just so they can enrich their pockets.


Why won't you ever stand for what's right in your pathetic life?

If he is guilty let the courts decide not jailed for two months pending conclusive investigations. That is the witch-hunting.

Moreover are you saying all those who sponsored Buhari, including Amaechi with dollars did so based on their SALARIES, in line with the N18,000 minimum wage for other workers
If not, can you please tell us why they are also not in jail.
Thanks.

Dollarization Of The APC Primaries: How Amaehi Vanquished Atiku #saibuhari

The blogosphere was inundated with reports of the excessive sharing of dollars at the All Progressives Congress which took place during the latter part of last week.

One APC supporter and Special Adviser to Osun Governor on Environment, BolaIlori had blown the scandal open after he saw the beginning stages of the dollarization in action.

He took to his Facebook page and scribbled, “Crazy things are happening here!!! Some of these cannot represent the change Nigeria is yearning for. Excessive dollarization by one of the aspirants to is to say the least obscene. I have been involved in political process for decades now, I have never witnessed this volume of raw dollarization of party primaries. I only read about this kind of things in PDP primaries. A question been asked by conscientious delegates is that whoever can be giving out between $2000 to $5000 to…delegates certainly does not represent the kind of change Nigerians want…those who contributed to the pauperization of Nigeria now revel in dollarization… majority of Ondo delegates are still standing with Buhari but have been reduced from 85% to 70% within 24 hours…the remaining has gone with dollars ooo.!!!!!”

One has to wonder how Buhari was able to win the primaries in this era of stomach infrastructure where dollars are like the Biblical manna that God sent down from heaven to nourish the Israelites as they made their way to the promised land.

Sources close to the APC with knowledge of the way the Primaries unfolded have revealed that it was Rivers State Governor, Amaechi who flew back to Rivers State and returned to Lagos on Thursday morning with enough dollars to make Benjamin Franklin blush.

It has been revealed that Atiku offered the delegates $5000 each, but Amaechi doubled it to $10000 a pop. Thus turning the tables in favour of General Buhari.

Since his adventure into the APC, Amaechi has gone out of his way to prove himself a party loyalist, always the first to shoki or azonto at the many events the APC holds, which he himself is usually the chief sponsor.

According to party insiders, Amaechi has overtaken Tinubu as the major financier of the party. One does not need to wonder why he is always at President Jonathan’s throat over misappropriated oil wells or other such business. Anything that diminishes from the State’s coffers will have a ripple effect on his funding budget for the APC.

Thanks.

In as much as I like Lamido, this would serve as deterrent to intending corrupt officers.

Why do you like Lamido, if I may ask?

back2sender:
This your cartoon did not sway voters prior to the election when so much was at stake and it will not now when nothing is at stake, please play another music

Indeed nothing is at stake since you prefer living in a lawless jungle of selective witch-hunting rather than a country where the president is fair to all Nigerians and there is equity before the law

The jungle justice show that excites the 200 million mumus but does not improve our corruption just like under OBJ, not so

zik4ever:
I dont get something here. They are presumed innocent until proven guilty by our laws and if they can't be prosecuted immediately or granted bail, why remand them in Prison from today till September? Just asking for clarity please. Thanks.

This is the new reality under DICTATOR Buhari's witch-hunting of his opponents.

It is only a matter of time before he reaches out to those who may be hailing him now,

Nothing to show for it?? are you for real?

Please tell us what Amaechi spent almost N4 trillion budget to achieve in eight years:

- Ratio of students enrolled in 2007 compared to 2015.
- Ratio of students to teachers/classrooms/libraries/laboratories in 2007 with 2015.
- Coverage of all households and businesses with tap water in 2007 to 2015.
- Ratio of citizens to doctors/nurses/ward beds in 2007 to 2015

and the number of people RECRUITED annually to improve the above ratios.
Thanks.

Abi governor na just to share crumbs of money ni

I personally took these pictures today in Port Harcourt.

It rained lightly just a couple minutes today in some parts of Port Harcourt. Not long and the residents of Eliozu, Oroigwe, Port Harcourt had their smuldering pains get more difficult as usual.

This car is been towed by a towing van on the collapsed bridge in Eliozu. This narrow bridge is the only entrance and exit from this community that has over 10,000 houses in it. This bridge has been collapsed over 4 years ago.

Whether I misyarn or not is a question of perspective and should you feel you want to point it out to me, its a matter of choice also.

Surely you don't need me to tell you what to do, do you?

I can't read the picture you posted. Its not clear. But in essence, I would still want to believe the FG as of then should have held their ground in court and wait for the supreme court judgment, not cower every time these governors take them to court.

And besides, is the Federation account the same as The Excess Crude Account because I don't believe the federation account can be reserved for 'a rainy day'.

The Excess crude account is an INTEGRAL part of the Federation Account held in trust by the federal government on BEHALF of all the three tiers of government i.e. including the 774 LGAs and 36 states.

In phyno voice __Kill em all

They are better ALIVE for extracting valuable INTELLIGENCE essential for long term victory over these terrorists.

barcanista:
Apologies for the "disrespect". What is your argument? Are you arguing that the FG shouldn't have spent it without "authorisation" by the Governors? If this is your argument then it is a matter between the FG and the States and Not between NOI/Jonathan and the states. Again, it doesn't make it "illegal" as there is NO law that stipulates that the states must agree.

If he has any grouse about it, he should petition his state assembly lawmaker to cause the governor to sue at the Supreme Court for a refund.

That is what happens in a law & order society, not so instead of him blabbing and blabbing here without consequence.

Paparazzi president takes pictures while his country burns in the hands of terrorists.

How many deaths WITHOUT any action since 29 May?
