Economic and Financial Commission have finally arrested outgoing Speaker Dimeji Bankole of the house of representatives.

An EFCC source told Saharareporters moments ago that the agency operatives moved in today to arrest Mr. Bankole after the agency received intelligence was planning to flee tonight.

For the past one week, the EFCC and Bankole have been engaged in a tense stand off arising from Mr. Bankole's refusal to answer the agency's summons for interrogation over series of corruption allegations.

Saharareporters exclusively broke the news that the EFCC investigators had linked Mr Speaker to an account at the United Banker of Africa (UBA) through which the outgoing speaker had laundered about $1 billion.

A source at the EFCC told SaharaReporters that agency was able to arrest the speaker today as soon as it discovered he had planned to escape from Nigeria early tomorrow morning.

Last Friday EFCC agents had made an attempt to arrest the speaker from his residence but that had been rebuffed by Mr. Bankole's security protection.

The EFCC had appealed to IG to withdraw Bankole's police security to facilitate the outgoing speakers arrest instead Mr. Ringim arrived at the scene to break the siege, stating that president Goddluck Jonathan had ordered the the EFCC should retreat from arresting Bankole.

A police source said Mr. Ringim came under fire following our report of his role. He later lied that he only paid the speaker a social visit at his residence, unaware of plans to by the EFCC to arrest him.

In response to criticism, the IG of police then ordered the withdrawal of Bankole's police protection.

A source within the presidency said Jonathan who is due to be received this Wednesday at the White House did not want a baggage of appearing to American officials to be continuing the tradition of protecting Nigeria's major corrupt officials.

The source said that Jonathan then instructed the IG of police and the DG of the state security service to immediately withdraw Bankole's security detail.

A source at the EFCC told us the the EFCC was able to arrest him shortly after he lost his police guards.

In addition to the huge financial scam at the UBA, the former speaker is also implicated in car buying scandal.

Which due does it paid that you are talking about?

I hope they called it off.

are you at home.

Happy birthday

Well i knows Gods we surprise many people comes 2011.I'm waiting to study the way things are going before i make comment

Alafin did not do anything that warrant deposition. Akala can not depose him.I think Akala is afraid of alafin because of the influence he has in oyo town.
Alafin supported Ajimobi ANPP Gubernatorial candidate in 2007 election,and ANPP win in oyo town. Alafin deed the same thing in 2003 when he supported Ladoja.
Alafin is an inflencial paramount ruler. i believe that is why akala is afraid of him

I notice he has been moving close to AC member since last year. He always appear in most of the opposition function recently, He might emerge as AC flag bearer. You guys should just wait and sea. He is very close to Tinubu. And now that Atiku is no more in AC he might be the next option for AC.

Soludo has congratulate Peter Obi, He faulted the election but he acept the defeat.

Ngige said he will challenge the result.

He/ she is the member of the committe set up to pay yaradual visit at Saudi Hospital.He is chating with Yaradual at the moment.

I don’t expect anything from that judgment except stroking out that case.

Those Osun state judges are not straight forward

Agagu has been relised since yesterday evening by 8.30pm, i had it in STV 10pm news yesterday, they called is cheif press offical and he comfirm the development, he was arrested in the morning at abuja and later relised by evening.

I congratulate the man, how I wish is the same in ekiti instead of council the 10 local government election, the judges should have courageous enough to declare Fayemi the winner of April 14 2007 election

@superboi
Why not specify the olusegun that you are taking about, have you forgetting that the two contestant bear Olusegun

For me I still appreciate the work of LASTMA in Lagos state, if they are not in Lagos today, Lagos road will not have been motorable, everybody always in hurry to reach where ever he or she is going, including me, but with the fear of LASTMA, people get it to there head that you can not obstruct the traffic rule and go away with it easily,

If police arrest you for any traffic offence, immediately you gave them N100 they will leave you, especially if you now give them N500 you will become GOD, they will be the one to cleared the road for you, but LASTMA will never do that even if they are going to collect bribe from you they will first delay you, and if you don’t want them to embrace you then obey the traffic law. (I sea them as classic bribe collector)

My point is that, am not saying the way they are rubbing innocent citizen is right but I still appreciate there present in Lagos state, the center of excellence

I hope Mimiko win the case at appeal court, beacuase there is a good evidence that proof pdp was not the actual winner of that election in that state

Can anyone update us on what is happening on appeal court judgment today,

What is the position of (FCMB, BANK PHB AND FIN BANK,UNION BANK) I realised you dont mention  those bank on your list

@wokess
What are you insinuating about, are you saying Adenuga and fashola are not in good condition that is why they want to demolish it or what?

What you need to realized is that fashola is doing a greet job, am not aware of demolishing the whole filling station but I know the lekki epe expansion of the road affected the front of that filling station, and it is not only that filling station affected, it affected all the bulding along lekki epe road, so what are you now talking about, I don’t understand you, I leave in Thomas estate aja and I pass through that place everyday to my office, may be you can enlighten us on the issue better than the way you have put it.

Appeal court as done a great job again, I don’t really know how abia state tribunal judges come up to there conclusion to nullify that election in the first place,

In my own opinion I think Abia tribunal judges was compromised

I congratulate the governor,

The seating just started couple of minute ago and so far I can sea the judgment will be in favors of the governor

It is a welcome idea,  i will be glad seen the dream been  sucessful

@toksajayi
I think you are mixing two thing together, The two fellow you are talking about, 1st is (Kobojunkie) everybody knows that she is a controversial person in niaralan, and it as been on this forum for years, and am 80% sure that she knows nothing about what you are talking about, second person is kobomoje, it might be the one you are referring to, because to be honest with you, I only start to saw his own post on this thread, and if you read there post carefully you will definatly realized that they are two deferent person, try to reason with me and I believe If you ask most of the member on this forum they will tell you the same thing,

Try to cool down your temper, if not, even if what you are saying is true, with the way you raining causes on people , no body will take you serious,

Breaking news, VP Good luck Jonathan awarded 1.8million dollars for maintenances and sustenance of his office in absence of president yaradua,
