Some lawyers and the judges are egregiously corrupt. They work together with the police ...Efcc men aren't left out in this matter . The case you brought before the court will determine what the court will decides . I recall the case of Adedoyin,a man who suppose to be charged for the murder of an hotel lodger but by the time police charged him the court ,it was a very silly charge that will attract light sentence under the law. Thank God that Femi Falan ( SAN ) took over the case to review and prosecute the man . The matter would have ended in wuruwuru way . |

frog12:Cheney was charged by Nigeria not the U.S. courts who found no evidence to charge him with. Nigeria's case did not go anywhere because, like most cases, Nigeria rushes to charge folks without evidence. The recent charge and imprisonment of the Binance Official is an example of what Nigeria's EFCC is notorious for. ![]() If Nigeria had irrefutable evidence in the Cheney case, Americans would have served Cheney up on a platter of gold to Nigeria back then. There were more than enough Americans at the time who hated Cheney and would have demanded his head during that period. The guy was not loved at all and people searched far and wide for ways to prove any and every case against him. So, that story you lot tell of Hillary Clinton somehow coming to Nigeria to change the tides on behalf of Cheney is bullsheet! ![]() https://abcnews.go.com/International/nigeria-drops-bribery-charges-dick-cheney/story?id=12440856 |

EFCC, where is the former Kogi State governor for prosecution? Ganduje is steering APC. Instead EFCC is talking about Halliburton case of the '90s. Atiku Abubakar had contested presidential elections more than three times since the Halliburton case. Is EFCC not the same, or is the present EFCC head there as APC's head hunter? |

Nigeria is hard to administer as a whole, break up this whole into manageable chunk and watch these corruption die a natural death. |

frog12:Which laws did he violate? And why was your EFCC all too willing to throw away the charges —circumvent those laws you claim he violated— after it was offered money, not by Cheney, but by Halliburton? Read what EFCC itself said back in 2010 about why it decided to drop the charges. ![]() https://abcnews.go.com/International/nigeria-drops-bribery-charges-dick-cheney/story?id=12440856 |

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) should be dissolved. The laws enabling EFCC should be repealed. In practice, EFCC is of no benefit to the general Nigerian population. EFCC was created just to please the west in general, and the United States in particular. |

I am posting part of the quotes from your link to answer your question. And do you think America will allow its former number 2 man to stand trial in a third world country? Bribery is a crime anywhere in the world. Cheney was in charge of halliburton at that time Talk all you want they froze their money and it seems EFCC got part of it :A spokesman for Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Femi Babafemi, told ABC News that the charges were dropped after the company agreed to the settlement, which includes the company forfeiting some of the $130 million dollars currently frozen in Swiss accounts. The head of Nigeria's anti-corruption body says the country charged Cheney with bribery to send the message: "Nobody is above the laws of the land." Kobojunkie: |

frog12:Stop fishing! 🤔 Halliburton, the company, is not Cheney, the individual. Nigeria's decision to supposedly drop direct charges against Cheney, the individual, because the company, Halliburton, paid fines to Nigeria, is a clear indicator that Nigeria really had nothing on Cheney, to begin with. 🤔 |

I've always cited this case. It's why I don't pity foreign firms operating in Nigeria. Yet when you sanction them some people will be saying that you are discouraging FDI. |
| Re: Halliburton Scandal: US Made Over $3bn, Nigeria Lost Out — EFCC Chairman by Kobojunkie: 7:05pm On Nov 12, 2024 |
Buccalcavity2:Local companies operating in your Nigeria don't do the same and even get away with it most of the time, particularly those directly linked to your politicians. A crime is a crime but it seems like you lot scream worse when foreigners come down to do what Nigerian people equally do and drink water down with. ![]() |

Haliburton paid bribes to Nigerians. The U.S. charged Haliburton to court and punished them with severe fines. Nigeria did not prosecute a single Nigerian for the bribe taking, and yet the EFCC is whining that they didn’t receive a cut of the fines paid in the U.S. for what reason na? |

Kobojunkie:Please! I'm indifferent if it is local or foreign. Point is, sanction any company that errs. Don't lessen the sanction because of your fears of FDI or foreign interest. Let them know you for your standard! They don't send you when the table is turned! So MTN messes up, sanction! She'll does sanction! Glo does sanction! |

Buccalcavity2:So, how many local companies in Nigeria have been sanctioned by the Nigerian government over engaging in bribery and corruption deals with Nigerian politicians? Wouldn't it make more sense to say that the Nigerian Government should deal fairly with foreign companies— equally absolve them of crimes in much the same way it does local Nigerian companies of crimes committed? I am just saying that the Nigerian government, if it is going to flout the law where it pertains the local companies, should also be willing to do so with the foreign companies. ![]() |
