EFCC Arrests Wabote Over Alleged $35M Fraud

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Timber Kesiye Wabote, former Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), over an alleged $35 million fraud linked to the Brass Project.

Wabote’s arrest follows that of Akintoye Adeoye Akindele, Managing Director of Atlantic International Refinery and Petrochemical Limited, who is under investigation for alleged misappropriation, money laundering, and diversion of public funds.

The EFCC alleges that Akindele, who spearheaded the Energy Infrastructure Park project in Bayelsa State’s Okpoama Community, received $35 million from NCDMB for a refinery project that never materialized. Both suspects are currently in EFCC custody as investigations continue.

The motto of Nigeria is grab it whenever you get the opportunity. I don't know how much longer we have to stay together to realise that this experiment of over 100 years isn't working.

EFCC have not been effective the way it should. The new EFCC chairman need to prove himself as worthy of that position. The embarrassment the commission received in attempt to prosecute Yahya Bello will rub on the commission and Tinubu administration as a government who pampered corrupt people.
Let's hope EFCC will redeem it's image

At the end of the day, he will be set free by the court may be due to the fact EFCC got no convincing evidence to nail him.

I will tell you for free. Nigerians are greedy!

Nigerians representing us from the 6 geopolitical zones are GREEDY!

An average Nigerian outside the corridors of power hopes to be in government someday to loot (have his/her share of the national cake).

Nobody does anything for the common good of Nigerians but for their insatiable avarice.

Nigeria as a nation is bedeviled with GREEDY DEMONS who appear to be public office holders.

The Federal Republic of Nigeria existed before your misery, The Federal Republic of Nigeria will be here a century after your misery.

Truth well spoken. That’s why I laugh when people blame only politicians. For example you ask politicians for accountability but yet attack anyone who asks a Nigerian pastor for same. What an ironic Nation.
