He lied blindly in that interview, I don't even know where to start.

BruncleZuma:
Buhari promised got in and found out he wasn't cut out for it...as you said may the best man win.

BruncleZuma:
Stop mixing half-truths with rhetorics my good Op, Oil (Bonny Light) was never 100$ for 16 years, it was for just 4 months spread to two years.

Please look amongst the current ruling party for those who have embezzled and give proper convictions.

Una media trials don do us; the reason you guys are in power was to "miraculously" do everything you promised, we are not asking you to start a "díck measuring" competition with PDP.

Brother since when Sai Baba has been fighting and recovering "stolen loot", how much has entered ur hand or the economy at large, if he is collecting and recovering billions and nobody is seeing the , traces of improvement in the economy , it becomes a clear case of thieves collecting from fellow thieves , for thier own benefits, as far as I'm concerned PDP , can and has handled this country better than APC, I don't see fighting corruption , which has been more of witch hunting opposition's as an achievement for buhari led administration...

CROWNWEALTH019:
Instead of reminding us how corrupt PDP was, why not tell us what APC had done??

This corruption stories popping up now won't work and its becoming annoying.

We were better off when corruption was thriving than now that the killer of corruption entered

Bitter Side Of Reality… Former Billionaire, Kola Aluko, Covers Body With A Plethora Of Ludicrous Tattoos.*Now Lives In Mexico

Less than two years ago, uber-wealthy oil and gas magnate, Kola Aluko, was the cock of the walk, the guy every prosperous guy wanted to be like; who once dazed Hollywood royalties and billionaires by splurging £1.5million on champagnes at Oscar winner, Leonardo Di Caprio’s 39th birthday; famously dated international model, Naomi Campbell, and was known to live la vida loca like a Brunei Sheikh.

His home in the sedate, upper crust area of Ticino, southern Switzerland, used to draw gawks and drools. He had many of such across the world. In 2013, the billionaire businessman who loves race cars reportedly bought the limited edition Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio speedster said to be worth a whooping £2million.

He wasn’t arrogant but whenever he got tired of riding around in his array of Ferraris and other vintage cars, Kola would hop on his 200-foot yacht – nicknamed Galactica Star, and enjoy the cool breeze and slow pace of life on the oceans. So beautiful is the Galactica Star that anytime vacation beckoned, Hip Hop royalties, Jay Z and Beyonce, favour the luxury yacht originally purchased for more than $80 million. Kola was a made man and he lived like one. But all these seem like eons ago.

Now a virtual fugitive, Kola has been running from the long arms of the law over allegations of money laundering perpetrated when Diezani Allison-Madueke held sway as Nigeria’s Minister of Petroleum Resources. The US Department of Justice declared him and equally wealthy businessman, Jide Omokore, as persons of interest in a civil complaint filed at a District Court in Houston Texas against Madueke detailing how they laundered millions of dollars which were used to buy properties in the U.S. and the UK on her behalf.

The US District Court Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, on July 14, 2017, ordered the seizure of Aluko’s assets worth $144 million. All his Ferrari and vintage cars have been seized. There are no traces either of his expensive wrist watches. Kola no longer commands the awe and attention of the past years. Gone also is the throng of hangers on and hero-worshippers around him. Neither does he roll in the circle of the rich and famous as was the case a few years ago.

In fact, as the days roll by, the chickens may finally be coming home to roost as pictures of him exclusively obtained by The Capital show a gaunt and pale Kola. Hitherto chubby and bubbly, now sunken are his rosy cheeks while his visage has gone from merry to morose. Not just that, Kola is now heavily tattooed as pictures show. And many are wondering why he suddenly started having tattoos when he is just a year shy of 50. He lives a low life in Mexico and adjusting to life without the exaggerated obsequiousness and panoplies of power. So long!

Truth be told, Buhari with all his "I don't care" body language and not well calculated political moves has made saraki more popular and powerful, to control or tame saraki now is not going to be easy for Buhari.
I believe Buhari was warned about saraki been Senate president but to punish Tinubu he decided that they should play the politics the way they want, I was expecting Buhari to be smarter to intervene in the crisis then and find a way to pick someone who is neutral and less ambitious apart from the two candidates fighting for the SP position.

"Contrary to those claims, Melaye’s relatives and many senators have told SaharaReporters that he was never kidnapped but only staged a walk into a bush to avoid being charged before a Kogi High Court."

who told you so Mr fake news reporter. and those ones up there are already convinced.

what would he have been afraid of, is it a court he has been attending of late? or was he not in Lokoja last week to commission projects. then suddenly he would 'walk into the bush', how low you guy can go in this your BMC job is really amazing.

chiedu7:

Bimpe29:
Leave Saraki alone.

kay5you:
What’s really wrong with naija celebrities ( musicians, actors , footballers and politicians inclusive), always thinking they are doing us a favor.
This comment is so unprofessional. I’m really disappointed with Etebo.

no way she can send Saraki to gaol, naija go scatter

This is Justice Adebukola Banjoko of the Federal Capital Territory High Court who found former governor of Taraba State, Reverend Jolly Nyame guilty for criminal breach of trust on 23rd May 2018.

She was so appalled at Nyame’s brazen theft of public money that she bellowed: “There’s no moral justification for the level of outright theft, and the Court must therefore, impose a statement, hopefully as a deterrent to other public officers, who may be similarly inclined”
Justice Banjoko stated that Nyame, a clergyman, as governor of Taraba, breached the trust reposed in him by the indigenes of the state, when he misappropriated N250 million which he approved purportedly for the purchase of stationery for the state.

In a ruling which lasted more than 4 hours, Justice Banjoko found Nyame guilty of 16 counts, bordering on criminal breach of public trust.

The angry judge sentenced him to a total of 28 years in prison, 14 years of which was for criminal breach of trust.

4 years ago, Justice Adebukola Banjoko of the Federal High Court, Gudu, Abuja, while presiding over the alleged $620,000 bribery suit brought against a member of the House of Representatives, Farouk Lawan, withdrew from the case .

The judge ordered that the suit be returned to the Chief Judge of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Ibrahim Bukar.

Mr. Lawan, a former Chairman of the House Ad-hoc Committee on Fule Subsidy Regime, and the Secretary of the Committee, Boniface Emenalo, are being prosecuted by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences Commission, for receiving the bribe from a businessman, Femi Otedola.

The suit commenced on February 2013 when Messrs. Lawan and Emenalo, were arraigned on a seven-count charge.

Justice Mudashiru Oniyangi had presided over the suit until his elevation to the Court of Appeal, the reason it was assigned to Mrs. Banjoko.

The lawmaker, through his counsel, Mike Ozekhome, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, had on October 29, 2013 filed an application demanding the withdrawal of Mrs. Banjoko, but withdrew it.

Besides, Mr. Lawan personally petitioned the FCT Chief Judge, alleging that the judge may likely be bias because of her close relationship with Mr. Otedola, who is the accuser and a witness in the case.

Despite the withdrawal of the application by Mr. Lawan, the judge still quit, saying that though Mr. Bukar had cleared her of the allegation against her by the lawmaker, Mrs. Banjoko said it was a “scandalous challenge” on her integrity.

She said, “In my 17 years on the bench, six years and as a magistrate and 11 years as a judge, I have never been confronted with a scandalous challenge of my integrity.”
Meanwhile on Tuesday, Mr. Ozekhome, who withdrew the application he filed on behalf of his client, pleaded with the judge that day to ignore the wrong impression it might have created.

The prosecuting counsel, Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, who also apologised on behalf of Mr. Lawan, asked Mrs. Banjoko, to continue to handle the case, but the judge declined.

While denying that she was not in any way close to Mr. Otedola, the judge insisted she would stay away from the case because “justice is rooted in confidence.” She also stated that the lawmaker had already exhibited lack of confidence in her.

According to her, “In the prevailing circumstances, I do find it difficult to continue this case. This case is returned to the honourable Chief Judge for re-assignment.”
