Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) on Monday said the recent raid on some Nigerians by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) over a multi-million dollars internet scam will have a negative impact on Nigerians, especially those travelling overseas for one reason or the other.

Speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, Sagay who is currently in the US said the development will also negatively affect the image of Nigeria in the international community.

“It is very worrisome and I am very disturbed because not only will it affect our international image but also the prospect of interaction and travelling of Nigerians internationally, especially the manner in which you are regarded when you are in the midst of foreigners. So, it is a very disturbing issue”.

On what the Nigerian government can do, Sagay said while the Federal Government cannot do anything on the matter since it happened in the US and the FBI is already working on it, the government can assist the United States government in extraditing some of the suspects if they failed to willingly submit themselves to the authorities.

“There is nothing the Federal Government can do. The FBI is already taking action on the matter. The only thing the Nigerian government can do is if there are some of the accused people here in Nigeria, the American government will request extradition of such people”.

“So, in that case, the Nigerian government can act. If the accused persons are unwilling to travel to the US themselves, then the FG can commence extradition proceedings”.

“That is the best the Nigerian government can do because the offence was committed in the US and the US is the primary prosecutor of the matter,” he said.

Afonjas, una no dey tire for this propaganda to tarnish Igbo image? Sending all these threads back to back to FP. When 20 Yorubas are due to be executed in Saudi Arabia? If Igbos are this bad as you claim, let them have their Biafra, but you no go gree. Other tribes will not buy into your propaganda this time around to see Igbos as the villian. Very hypocritical!

The good thing is that it will also affect the politicians.

If there are opportunities in this country

Why should I run away!!!

USA are the greatest scammer but NTA will never show us

,,

Ok. But we don't have image to protect again. Our politicians have destroyed our image. The Boko Haram they created have destroyed this country beyond repair.

Then stay in your country!

So we die here

It's just a pity we've found ourselves in such kind of a mess.. I weep for Nigeria.

See what our fellow Nairalander Invictus Obi has brought on our country. They should just deactivate the guy's account

Including politicians who have dual citizenship and have plunged us into the cesspit we are today? I doubt.

Continue masturbating

mumu talk. So, foreign investors too shouldn't come here?

You may be a criminal supporting other criminals and you guys don’t always take responsibility for your actions. Your people are caught abroad which is tarnishing the Image of other Nigerians abroad and you are here saying rubbish. Of course the Yorubas commit fraud also but the present topic is about the FBI 80 with it’s notoriety

Everytime you guys keep shouting we should let you leave, are the Yorubas the one holding you down in Nigeria?

What are your legislators doing? Have they raised the issue in the National Assembly? Even if the other region won’t support them let them raise it first? You think you will get your Biafra with the Joke Kanu is doing?

Too bad, too bad.

But not as Bad as suicide bombers.

Some greedy wicked souls don spoil our name

No inhuman treatment on Earth can be worse than what inept wicked Buhari is currently metting on helpless Nigerians .

Biafrans have DESTROYED us Nigerians o!!!!! Plssss grant these negros their republic ASAP ASAP ASAP! So they can be beating their elders...... they wake them up with a round horse kick anyway!

Nigeria isn’t even in the top 20 list of cybercrime countries. So what’s the fuss about? Even the system itself has discriminated against itself. Not justifying crime but if other countries who top that list don’t face inhuman treatment from the US or the world in general, let’s look into what we can do to stand out ground that not all Nigerians are fraudsters. The bad image of the country wasn’t caused by internet scammers but politicians. Thats why were are tagged “corrupt”.

Even affecting Fiverr already Sir

I don't understand why they are blowing this issue out of proportion, compared to other countries Nigerians are in the bench when it comes to cyber crime yet citizens of this countries are not subjected to any kind of inhumane treatment.

80 citizens in one fell swoop is just too much for any country

Sometimes i just can't help but wonder... How can someone travel to the US of all places con decide to embrace crime.. Asin how? Knowing fully well that it is just a matter of time before the law catches up with him/her... How.. I don't think people who do this are normal..

Doing it in Nigeria is understandable, the country is a shithole.. Considering the fact that we worship money here atleast If them gbab you, you can always pay a huge sum to escape been punished... But for yankee, them catch you, you are gone.. I'm not sure these people are normal..

Meanwhile, if you are a yahoo boy and you are reading this i want you to knw this... It's just a matter of time.

Nice one my igbo brothers
Please find other avenues and make one Nigeria suffer worldwide
Shebi they don't want to have sense
