EFCC must conduct a thorough investigation and produce water tight evidence of terror financing and other alledged crimes. Not when they get to court, their cases would be thrown out of the window due to lack of convincing evidence against these evil men.

No
Teymanhenry:
This is a matter of grave national concern and it should urgently reach the President’s attention. The idea that a state government could pay public funds into accounts linked to alleged terrorists raises serious questions about oversight, accountability, and national security.
Such allegations must not be treated lightly. A thorough, independent investigation is essential, and the courts should take full charge of the matter to establish the facts. If any individuals are found guilty after due process, the law must take its full course, with penalties that reflect the severity of the crime.
Terrorism financing undermines national security, erodes public trust, and directly endangers innocent lives. No political, ethnic, or institutional consideration should shield anyone from justice. The integrity of the state and the safety of citizens must come first
Absolutely correct 💯, thanks for your brilliant thoughts and comments.

It is obvious that either you can’t read and/or comprehend. Please go and read the entire presentation and then come back and see if what you said makes any sense.
Yes, his post is in order if you yourself read the Op. The Myetti Allah guy was first detained for six months on terrorism related issues but was later released by orders of the attorney general without telling Nigerians why. That's enough to cast doubts on the sincerity of cases like these.

I suspect that the Bodejo of a guy is the overall head and linchpin of the whole Fulani terrorists in Nigeria, maybe he was released to lay low and should no longer formement troubles by the AG but the opposition hierarchy started using him again to cause trouble and discredit the present administration but ended betraying them after collecting money, the Bauchi Governor fell into that trap.

My brain can not comprehend the amount of DOLLARS an seeing here. All cash? Where are all these monies? All in Abuja there because no sign of them spending even 1% in Bauchi.
Re: EFCC’s Terrorism Financing, Money Laundering Charges Against Bauchi Officials by faceland: 8:37am On Jan 15
They always say (in investigation) "follow the money".

How billions vanish in cash? Typical security hardly get ₦20k per month and they sign for it.

And what exactly does Bauchi state produce? A state that receives more from the federation account than it generates. Now, why exactly is the governor of Bauchi state sending hard currency to the head of a known terrorist organisation? Simple, to fund their operations all over the country. The guns, the weapons and ammunition the Fulani all over Nigeria are using to kill, this is how they get funded.

The foreign Fulani mercenaries that are hired to come and kill in Nigeria, this is how they get paid. It is not out of place to believe that the Bauchi state governor is not the only governor in the north doing this.

If democracy wasn't a charade in Nigeria, the Bauchi house of assembly would have initiated impeachment proceedings against the governor long ago.
Governors are so powerful, they have most of the actors in their pockets since they control the money, everything is dictated by them. See Yayah Belo, what happened to him after all these charades?

Terrorism or terrorism financing should not be part of the immunity that a state governor enjoys as the effects of terrorism affects the whole nation. Any state governor found to have hands in terrorism financing should be made to face the full wrath of the law even if he/she is still is a sitting governor. sad

You can see how a whole state govt has been channeling their funds to illegal causes, most unfortunate.

Good job by the EFCC..

nkemjacob2:
Let's not blame EFCC though they are not perfect but they still try to bring evidence. What we should look after is what happen next after such revelation. What is the judiciary and other institutions doing.
Absolutely!
Re: EFCC’s Terrorism Financing, Money Laundering Charges Against Bauchi Officials by commoditiesnig(m): 9:52am On Jan 15
My brother this revelation really amaze me. Seeing a state govt. funding non state actors.. most unfortunate

The FG/Presidency need to action on this urgently.. matter of national security

Inside EFCC’s terrorism financing, money laundering charges against Bauchi officials


A PREMIUM TIMES review of official documents and court records paints a disturbing picture of how money meant for the development of Bauchi State ended in private pockets.

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/848712-inside-efccs-terrorism-financing-money-laundering-charges-against-bauchi-officials.html
Are Bourdillon bullion vans the private pockets where Lagos TAX money ends, such that the state is a shithole, smelly waterless mess after 27 years of Tinubu's progreThief lootocracy master plan huh

anonimi:
The eyesore on Bourdillon Road
2nd January 2025

Beyond his neighbours, there is something about the sight of people hanging around a president’s residence that does not speak well of his leadership capabilities. Maybe no one has nudged him to see it, but the impression that spectacle on Bourdillon Road generates is that Tinubu enjoys the sight of suffering humans and thrives in—and through— their poverty.

If all these years, impoverished people hang around you and you remain comfortable enough to keep them just so they can be handed tokens of your large heart, then it means you have a pro-poverty mindset. Such a frame of mind is oriented toward cultivating poverty rather than stimulating abundance.

That is why he could unproblematically relate the story of his “friend” who went from using five Rolls Royce to a far-less valued car and not consider the import of the nonsense he was saying. That spurious account was an indication that this is a man for whom poverty—of others, not himself—is an ideal.

The lack of state-owned pipe-borne water in the homes of Lagos residents has continued to be a source of concern, a non-profit group, Corporate Accountability and Public Advocacy Africa (CAPPA) has said.

At a press event to mark this year’s World Water Day, the group said its monitoring team’s visit to state-owned waterworks showed that most of them are not operational.

The group said the waterworks it visited include the ones at Maryland, Mushin, Ikorodu, Obalende, Agbowa, Onikan, Ikoyi, and Amuwo Odofin.

Only the one in Ikoyi is producing water, according to CAPPA.

A 45-year-old resident and father of three, Mr.Fatai Lamide told PUNCH HealthWise that no building in the community has toilet facilities.

The Oyo State-born mechanic said, “We don’t have toilet in this area, including our compound. This canal that you see serves as toilet to all of us living in this area. We defecate inside nylon and throw it inside the canal.

“For people that don’t want to use nylon, they have a special bucket that they use after which they pour it inside the canal too.

Immunity shouldn’t cover a governor with terrorism financing and involvement at all

You will hear the Media trial because he is not in APC. He is the only governor having corruption charges since he is not in ApC


The others sins has been forgiven.

Not when they get to court, their cases would be thrown out of the window due to lack of convincing evidence against these evil men.
With Oshiomole's Assembly of Past Crooks, APC progreThieves, the court does NOT even have to throw out the cae, it is the executive branch of the government that will WITHDRAW the case.

What happened to Okowa's case? What of Goje's case?

Did Buhari's APC make Omisore their National Secretary despite confessing to stealing Dasuki money?

Has Buhari and Tinubu not been more corrupt than PDP presidents who borrowed less money while giving us cheap petrol and better life without saving $84 billion from subsidy removal like APC's Tinubu and N1.4 trillion during Buhari/Osinbajo administration's removal of the same subsidy in 2016?

chisomkachy:
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn the alleged money laundering suit it filed at the Federal High Court against Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.

Naija News understands that the anti-graft did not give any particular reason for its application for withdrawal.

Following the application to withdraw, Justice Nicholas Oweibo discharged the ‘lien/Post No Debit’ placed on Obasa’s three accounts in Standard Chartered Bank.

The accounts are (US Dollars) 0001852063; (Current) 0001852056 and (Saving) 5002309624.

The judge also set aside the ex-parte orders he made on September 15, 2020, which led to the freezing of the accounts.

Recall that the court on September 15, 2020, granted an interim order freezing Obasa’s accounts following the EFCC’s application in a suit marked FHC/LCS/1064/2020.

The agency had said it was investigating the Speaker for the alleged offences of conspiracy, diversion of funds, abuse of office and money laundering.

But Justice Oweibo, on August 16, 2023, heard the application to unfreeze the accounts in his chamber.

During the hearing, the EFCC was represented by Mr. Sulaiman I. Sulaiman, while Obasa was represented by Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN).

The EFCC lawyer told the court that the application to unfreeze the accounts was pursuant to Section 44(2)(K) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Sections 26, 29 and 34 (1) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004, and under the court’s inherent jurisdiction.

Section 44 of the Constitution concerns constitutional rights to property.

Justice Oweibo held: “It is hereby ordered that an order is hereby granted to the respondent/applicant setting aside the ex-parte orders of this court made on the 15th day of September 2020 upon the ex-parte motion of the Applicant/ Respondent in relation the funds of the Respondent/Applicant domiciled in the accounts stated in the following schedule:

“ACCOUNT NAME, FINANCIAL ACCOUNT INSTITUTIONS, TYPE OF ACCOUNT, 1. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered, (US Dollars) 0001852063 2. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Current) 0001852056 3. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Saving) 5002309624.

“Issued at Lagos, under the seal of this Honourable Court and by the hands of the Presiding Judge this 16th day of August 2023.”

Brendaniel:
The same man Tinubu released and dropped all terrorism charges against?

This EFCC media trial looks pure political, I'm not saying the people involved are innocent but the fact that Tinubu does everything he does for politics even if it doesn't favour anybody except him, from what I feel here, he just wants Gov Bala in APC, so I just see all these as pure nonsense till I see sincerity from Tinubu

When I say you people become like mad people when this tribalism is applied to your thinking faculty, some of you think I'm actually joking,

Mr Bodejo reportedly spent about six months cumulatively in detention in 2024 and briefly faced terrorism charges within the year before the Attorney-General of the Federation’s office withdrew the case without giving reasons.
What date do you see there?

Even after I posted it the first time with the date, intelligence, education, logic, common sense becomes useless when you people apply this tribalism...

What exactly is wrong with you people?

How do you people reason like this?

Sometimes I ask myself, are we really dealing with human beings here?


How in the world did you people become like this?

Look at the country, when I see this type of attitude, it just tells me why the country is where it is today, people who reason like you are the people currently ruling the country and they have supporters like you...
