Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Magu, has rented a mansion in the elitist Maitama District of the Federal capital territory (FTC) Abuja, News Express can report this morning.
The storey building located at No. 8B, Rudolf Close, off Katsina Ala Crescent, in the highbrow Maitama District, was the abode of a former federal minister who died some time in May 2014.
An impeccable source said: “The property was rented to the Acting EFCC Chairman for N40,000,000 at N20,000,000 per annum.
“Furthermore, the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) curiously awarded a contract to Africa Energy, a company owned by Rtd Air Comm. Umar Muhammad, to furnish the residence at the cost N43,000,000, in a Government where the President is known to have frowned at and rebuked his ministers for requesting N20,000,000 each to secure accommodation and furnish them.
“It is shocking that the man spearheading the anti-corruption crusade of the government will be involved in such a venture. More surprising is the involvement of FCDA in renting a house for EFCC and under what arrangement.”
News Express made efforts to get the reaction of Magu and EFCC but the commission’s spokesmen Osita Nwajah and Wilson Uwujaren did not respond to text messages sent to them seeking their reaction to the story.
Is this CORRUPTION happening under the nose of our able retired General, only saviour, fighter of corruption, the DullardPoo of Daura? If the senators confirm him on the job what more will Magu do?
techmo: Mumu omokirikiri How exactly did he know the contents of the Bullion van
The Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011 (and the amendment to the Act in 2012) makes it a crime for any individual to accept or make any cash payment that exceeds ₦5 million.
Personal cash withdrawal isn't Cash Payment
Mumu omokirikiri thinks the scenario is like
EFCC officers: knock knock Budillion Gateman open up the gate
Gate man, DSS and Police details: welcome Mr EFCC
EFCC officers: Mumu Omokirikiri gave us a petition that a Bullion van drove in to Budillion drive Ikoyi and entered your residence on the eve of a Presidential election
Gate man, DSS and Police details: so Mr EFCC and mumu omokirikiri what is the offense, are bullion vans unlawful ? Atleast mere Private fueling stations, hotels WAEC, NECO all use Bullion security vans, and can you show us any evidence money was in the van or if any cash exceeding 5million was in the van as at that time
Why are you wailing so uncontrollably like a baby whose feeding bottle has been taken away What do you think that the EFCC will investigate? This time it won't be like under Jonathan when he bribed the judges and got away.
Freegift75: Code Of Conduct Tribunal Freed Bola Tinubu In Error – Rotimi Jacobs . . . Rotimi Jacobs, a senior advocate of Nigeria and the Federal Government prosecuting counsel in the 13 count charge of false assets declaration trial of Senate President Bukola Saraki on Thursday said the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) was misled to discharge former Governor of Lagos State Bola Ahmed Tinubu when he was arraigned before it in November 2011.
cuvox: Kaduna state Governor Mallam Nasir el-Rufai has said his government has traced some violent,aggrieved Fulani to their countries and paid them to stop the killings of Southern Kaduna natives and the destruction of their communities saying that the renewed violence is carried out by bandits.
El-Rufai made this known while fielding questions from some select Journalists in his office in Kaduna.
He said: “For southern Kaduna, we didn’t understand what was going on and we decided to set up a committee under Gen. Martin Luther Agwai (rtd) to find out what was going on there. What was established was that the root of the problem has a history starting from the 2011 post election violence.
“Fulani herdsmen from across Africa bring their cattle down towards Middle Belt and Southern Nigeria. The moment the rains starts around March, April, they start moving them up to go back to their various communities and countries.
“Unfortunately, it was when they were moving up with their cattle across Southern Kaduna that the elections of 2011 took place and the crisis trapped some of them.
“Some of them were from Niger, Cameroon, Chad, Mali and Senegal. Fulanis are in 14 African countries and they traverse this country with the cattle.“So many of these people were killed, cattle lost and they organised themselves and came back to revenge.
garfield1: I remember many edolites saying that buhari won't get up to 20%.esan has always given apc 40% and it won't change.both obaseki and pastor have been disgraced.the senator representing cross river south was publicly beaten in many of the areas he went to campaign but in the end,he won.
Oshiomhole is just too determined to take out obaseki,there's nothing to stop him.
I am sure and certain that the Edo people are more determined than coNrade Oshi-omo-Ole is. Why will they want to be under the same yoke of Lagosians under ThiefNuibu? When they are not crazy Edo people will work tirelessly since yesterday to stop him.
kenzysmith: u mean we should join u to help u loot the state during your next term is ok
Please have small sense na. I take God beg you. Haba, shame dey catch me for you o.
nairavsdollars: How will APC National chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, raise the hands and campaign for Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, the same man he called a thief and other vile names in the 2016 governorship election in Edo state?
Oshiomhole attacks Edo PDP guber candidate,says he’s a thief
Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State says the gubernatorial candidate of the PDP, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, is desperate to become governor because he wants to get immunity from prosecution for his role in the Dasuki arms deal scandal.
Speaking at the APC campaign flag-off for Edo North at Auchi, Wednesday, Mr. Oshiomhole said the EFCC should do its job and make the PDP candidate face the music for collecting N700m of the Dasuki Arms fund.
The governor, who said he has records of how the past PDP government looted the state resources, said the PDP has no project to point to in Edo North in 10 years.
He said: “According to Pastor’s statement to EFCC, he took the N700m Dasuki fund to their Leader’s house and they shared it in line with the principle of PDP which is ‘share the money’.
“Now EFCC asked how to narrate who and who did you share to, he said ‘ oh we gave various local governments’, they are singing how they shared government’s money for defence exactly same way as local witches used to sing at midnight when there was no light in villages.
“Do you know why he wants to be a governor, Mr Ize-Iyamu wants to be a Governor to get immunity to protect him from prosecution. Today, we ask EFCC why is Ize-Iyamu having confessed to money collected for Defence from Fidelity Bank, having confessed to taking it for purposes other than defence and directing how he shared it, he must face the music that Dasuki and others are facing. Even their leader wrote in his handwriting that he collected N300 million from NSA.
“Do you want to hand over Edo treasury to a thief. I’m a proud Kukuruku man, not the son of a cook, but we don’t take money for Police, money meant for soldiers, money meant for Defence to secure Christians in Churches, Pastors are collecting it and sharing it to their party members...."
Ize-Iyamu will take Edo back to Igbinedion’s era – Oshiomhole September 18, 2016
The Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, has criticised a former Governor of the state, Chief Lucky Igbinedion, for saying Oshomhole’s successor will emerge from the Peoples Democratic Party.
Igbinedion, who was governed the state between 1999 and 2007, had recently said that the next governor would not only emerge from his political family but that the party would win by a wide margin.
But Oshiomhole told journalists at the 84th birthday celebration of a former Governor of the Midwestern region, Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia on Saturday that the state would not return to the ”dark era” of the opposition party.
The governor said that the task for residents of state on September 28, the day of the governorship poll, was to choose whether they wanted the house of Igbinedion, as allegedly represented by Pastor Ize-Iyamu, or they wanted to sustain the breakaway.
He explained, “The people have a clear choice to make. You want Igbinedion era back because Ize-Iyamu has been straight forward on it that they want to change this change to the Igbinedion era. Lucky has confirmed that one of their own would be used to reverse the clock back.”
He added, “Edo cannot return to the house of the Igbinedions… They want to use tax payers’ money to celebrate a man who has never served Edo State. ”
He called on people to vote for the All Progressives Congress candidate, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, in order to move the state forward.
“Edo people have seen the light. They cannot go back to the dark era which the Igbinedion house represents. They will consolidate the present gain and raise it to a higher level by voting for Godwin Obaski, who is not and will never be part of the Igbinedions,” he said.

NGpatriot: Politics, tribalism and bigotry turned lazy Nigerian youths into hypocrites and enablers of corruption, they cry, more and shed crocodile tears over corruption in Nigeria, but steadily support of of the most corrupt organizations in Nigeria, the legal umbrella that shield and protect corrupt public officials, the man sanctuary and place of refuge for corrupt politicians.
NBA is the reason why there's no deterrent against corruption, politicians know they only have to bribe lawyers and judges who are all NBA members to be st free based on the most ridiculous and absurd legal technicalities after which they go home free to spend your money in peace with their children, family and friends.
Nigerian youths are on their own also enablers of corruption based on the insane and ignorant mentality.
flyingpig: Like father like son. The el-rufai's are adequate in intelligence but channelling it wrongly. Pathetic. I hope and pray your entire family fails in future political ventures.
Thank the armed forces for rigging your father in after a woeful first term in office. Posterity and history will treat your family well.I trust journalists, and definitely not the brown envelope geng.[/b][/b]

Nchenches: Apc is thinking of replacing Ize-Iyamu.
Iyamu carries huge legal baggages that many SANs cannot bring him out from �
Why are you telling them this na? Please let them make the same mistake of Zamfara, Rivers and Bayelsa. Should I add Imo where their Kyari-procured judgement is at stake?
dheilaw1: Obagone has threatened the man with dethronement
We know the man who has a record of violence since he was a youth. The cultist who threw acid on his fellow students and has been a confirmed thief ever since. The sinner-turned saint of coNrade Oshi-omo-Ole of the Association of Past/Present Criminals, APC packaging experts.
RuudVanNisteroy: Adams Oshiomhole told the world that Ize Iyamu was a cultist who was rusticated after he deformed another student by pouring acid on him and also a thief who looted the state dry when he was Secretary to the State Government, under convicted thief Lucky Igbinedion.
MrBrownJay1: we are not on the same page, not even on the same book. you foolishly automatically thought that the OP SHOULD/MUST give away some of this money away to a woman, as if it is a requirement for dating, while i am telling him that he doesnt have to give anything to a woman, and even if he wants to do so, that should be HIS choice, and nobody else's.
we all know all your broke broken liabilities that will start to date a dude today, and next day you will start begging for Brazilian hair, transport fee, recharge card, school fees etc, as if the dude is your father and/or you suddenly realize you had to pay for these when you met that dude.
Please i need an advice on the next step i should take in life. I am a guy, 25 years of age and still living with my parents, though i am not jobless but recently my bank account just hit one million and 200 thousand naira.
So my parents are advising to buy a landed property in my home town that will take about 900 to 1 million naira. But the thing is that i am 25 and i feel at my age i should no longer be staying with my parents, so i want to rent a flat and furniture it to my taste, i feel it is time to move on, i need my freedom to finally face life like a man.
So my question is, should i purchase a landed property at 25 and continue living with my parents or pack out and start my Adult life. Note: i am not jobless".
How much rent per annum will you get on this property if you buy it? What percentage of returns on your investment will that be and how that compares with the best interest on savings/fixed deposit you can get? You better invest your money wisely (not in some vainglorious home town property that does not give the best yield vis-a-vis inherent risks) and stay with your parents as long as possible, until you want to marry sef.
