Obi the criminal


Saturday Vanguard gathered that on the said day, which was Sunday, Police authorities in Lagos received information from one of the aides to Governor Peter Obi that a huge sum of money was been conveyed to the Governor’s private company at Aerodrome road in Apapa, Lagos.

Police sources said on getting to the scene, they saw the exotic jeeps that transported the money which were arraigned in suit cases inside the premises. LawEnforcement

The Police reportedly instructed one of the aids to the Governor who was seen there to inform the Governor of their intention to inspect the vehicles.  At this juncture, according to reports, the Governor instructed his aides not to open the vehicles until he comes to Lagos.

As soon as the Commissioner of Police was informed of the Governor’s directive, he reportedly deployed policemen to guard the vehicles until the arrival of the Governor.

That Sunday, at about 2.30 pm, both the Commissioner of Police and Governor Obi arrived the scene with their entourage and the Police Commissioner insisted that the vehicles must be thoroughly searched in the presence of everybody because the information received was a case of arms and ammunition being stockpiled for the 2010 election in Anambra State.

Governor Obi who was reportedly not comfortable with the Commissioner‘s directive was said to had capitulated by directing his aids to open the vehicle and this led to the discovery of the whooping sum of N250 million. Saturday Vanguard learnt that at this stage, the Commissioner of police quickly alerted the Inspector-General of Police, Sir Mike Okiro who directed that the Governor should make a statement over the discovery.

Sources said that in his statement, Governor Obi stated that the money found in the vehicles belongs to Anambra State and that it was meant for payment to one of their contractors who wanted cash.

It was gathered also that when the police asked Governor Obi why he should pay such a huge amount of money in cash instead of draft or cheque, the Governor could not give reasonable answer.

On Monday the following day, both the Commissioner of Police and Governor Obi reportedly moved to Spring bank where the money was paid into Anambra State Government account and a photocopy of the deposit slip made and handed over to the Commissioner of Police. Government

Saturday Vanguard also learnt that what fueled police suspicion over the money was that they also got information that the Governor was billed to travel out of the country a week after the money was intercepted.

To worsen the speculation, Governor Obi reportedly traveled overseas after the incident.

It was at this stage that the Inspector~General of Police who was properly briefed on the incident directed the Force Criminal Investigations Department under Deputy Inspector~General of Police, Israel Ajao to take over the case and unravel the mystery surrounding the movement of the cash from Anambra State to Lagos.

The IGP‘s directive was also said to have been prompted by the fact that the contractor whom Governor Obi claimed owns the money never showed up at all stages of the discovery and the fact that Lagos state Police Command preliminary investigations revealed a case of money laundering against the Governor.

Spy360:
Obi is not a criminal, he didn't do drugs or forfeit 460k dollars drug money, and he didn't forge any certificates.

Meanwhile, this witch is asking Burna Boy and Davido to pay for her husband's foolish wickedness

Obi is a big criminal that is why his name is in the Pandora papers, Why he invested state funds in private company and his aide was caught moving 250m in cash in suitcases

BlueRayDick:
All of these stemmed out of the failure of federal government and it's security agencies to get things right.

If all those customs, Immigration, police and other security agencies controlled by FG do their jobs as they ought to, we won't be having that 2 tiered systen u mentioned.

By the way, state governors do not have powers to grant their own citizens right to bear guns. Perhaps If someone other than Ribadu a Fulani man is the NSA, things would be better Sha.

Not all of the NSA have been Fulanis, and they have always carried guns. We have had Sambo Dasuki as NSA, we have had Owoye Azazi etc nothing has changed. The only thing is if other states match their madness
We have had multiple Presidents who havent done anything about it but window dress or say meaningless stuffs like it will die a natural death

Zamfara and others said its their right to practice Sharia
Bauchi and others said its their right to carry guns

I believe the Shariah thing was taken to court and was justified that each state have a right to implement laws peculiar to their states
Is it that other states especially in the South do not have their own peculiar culture too which we can implement? We in Oyo are also Fulanis, and we also have a right to carry guns. That is what I expect our state governors to do

WhoDeyHause:
Egbon una don argue this thing over and over. Placing guns in the hands of at least 50% of the population in this country no go work. Yeah it might work in the short term but it would create bigger problems in future after the issue at hand has reduced. The hood in your country is a typical example of why allowing a gun in the hand of ginika who one wicked playboy go break her heart or akpan who go get mind kpai person dog chop may not be successful.

Guns in the hand of Fulanis that their governors support is what again? How is that working so far turning the rest of us are just target practice

Berom can eat Pork and drink beer in Jos but I cannot in Bauchi because Bauchi law does not allow it.. FINE

Fulani can carry guns in Bauchi but not in Jos because Jos laws do not allow it. That should be fine too?

If its federal system then you abide by the laws of the state, if its Unity system then its same for everyone regardless of the state

Blueraydick this is my post that got removed

We need to stop this 2 tiered system within the same country, its either its bad for all or bad for none. Same argument when the North started Shariah and OBJ let them have it that it will die a natural death

Now Its legal for Abdul a Fulani to have gun but illegal for Obinna to have in the same country. Lets even assume its legal for you in Bauchi, then why bring it across your state lines into mine in Oyo where its illegal

Olowunl01:
Egbon you have started again🤣🤣🤣, Last time it was Tinubu built Lagos😂😂😂. Yar Dua & Jonathan's era dwarfs Buhari + Tinubu, It would be an insult to add Obj.

Nigerians in Nigeria have spoken, Nigerians in Diaspora don't have the lived experience, so anything we opine cannot be compared to those with the lived experience.

And yes, I agree that investor confidence is returning based on economic prospect, Dangote Refinery like him or loathe him has been a positive impact (Jonathan initiative ) but currently people are going through pain, am afraid the govt isn't doing enough.

People lived experience had been majorly better in Jonathan's vs APC.

This is the first time in almost my entire adult life that I am not hearing official forex rate vs black market

Where the govt picks their friends sell FX to them at one rate and directs you to buy from them at another rate. Surely those who dey run bureau de change will swear for this admin for blocking that easy path to wealth or those profiting from subsidies

So who is the authentic Governorship candidate for accord party now

Seems the smaller parties even have more problems than the giant ones

Bros mi, we all saw the state of Lagos that Tinubu inherited and the concrete policies he put in place to turn the state around which we can now see. All that Boom we see can be traced to the blueprint which successive govt followed and shows to be superior to any other state

Nigerians in Nigeria spoke in 2023 and elected Tinubu, they will speak again in 2027 and we can see if the online opinion match the reality of offline the voters so we wont take online opinion for reality

Just like Olumide Apata was winning online polls but no one knew him in Edo

Offline people's lived experience would be assessed through the votes next year

Actually when we check then experience and remove sentiments, we knew how FG was borrowing to pay salaries during Jonathan era, how Diezani Kola Aluko were running riot

Some of the failed policies of their regime is what Nigerians are feeling now which Tinubu is trying to fix

iamoyindamola:
That is what I am saying now
We should continue using saw dust and stove then

Yes na. We did and we no die

Oyinbo drink tea, I drink pap. Na hot water we both dey drink

Firewood or gas, As long as the food done

Theflint1:
He's no different from the president that's declaring for presidency while his country is on fire, and at least Seyi Makinde can say state police isn't in effect, and he's not in control of the armed forces.

What's Tinubu's excuse?

Tinubu has delegated to the governors who know their environment and state better. Also equipped them to secure their homelands, like its done in a Federal system we practice

If Seyi cannot perform his duty, Maybe he should quit and let Tinubu come and handle Oyo directly. There have been cries about the activities of bandits and movement in the Oyo forests, what has Seyi done about it ?

Kikelomogbenga:
You are just stating names. Michelle said she hasn't entered kitchen to cook since 2008. Kamala definitely doesn't cook.

This is Kamala saying she cooks

Kikelomogbenga:
Yes it's outrageous causes circumstances could change. So when the man loses the job and can no longer provide the woman is permitted to leave the marriage? If you wife becomes bedridden and can't cook you will marry another woman?

Circumstances change but that os different from being the default

There is a difference between a car that has a temporary fault and one that cannot move from the inception and day it was bought

andrewbaba44:
Egbon me and you Kuku know the condition of city

The condition of city is that they are topping the EPL as at last Friday

Won The Carling cup and in a FA cup final

There is a chance they win everything in England

Kikelomogbenga:
Salah was Pfa player of the year last season and golden boot winner fast forward to this season he's finished. Even the Mane that flopped still enjoyed nearly 20goals and assist despite missing 3 months with injuries. I am convinced if Ibime plays up to 40games for Bayern he will do at least 15G&A.

Mane got to Bayern and he suddenly became finished and was shipped out in one season

Same with Cooutinho shipped out in 1 season

airmark:
Ramdeuter, how are you the Burndisleaguedown Champions and in the Ucl Semis, despite having Upermikano as defender?
Your guess is as good as mine.

Upamenaco is a starter for France that made the last world cup final

semid4lyfe abeg help me release the last post

Kimbeast:
You and I know why it works here in the states. First of all you will need a Nationwide database. How many States in Nigeria have a fully digitalized interconnected system ? 2.Corruption and bribe 3. Does Nigeria even have a residential database.

And what does it take to create this database, we have enough personal data from NIN to BVN etc to create one so that we can account for and plan better

The main reason we refused to do this is because of the plan to cheat and corruption. The day we expose the scam behind our 220m population

larride:
Meanwhile Adelabu will never be Governor of Oyo state Insha Allah in Jesus name.

So I don't know why you guys are even arguing this.

Why not

A40:
Truthfully speaking anything other than regime change will be a pyrhic victory. I would suggest that from the onset the US should have made it clear that this will be a grueling war.

We would take wins we would take losses but nothing other than complete obliteration will suffice

I strongly doubt that if the IRGC would survive they will just follow the path of peace and never build a nuke again. Especially after this battering. That regime is a cancer and you completely remove cancer you don't let any parts of it remain. It was always going to take longer than initially expected but the plan has to be to continue to batter this regime to where the people can either overthrow a la Arab Spring or they can put boots on the ground to finish things off

Let's not forget America created this mess when they toppled Mossadegh. They can fix it and take the painstaking steps for a lasting solution

This is not really feasible if we are honest, a structure of almost 50yrs cannot be rooted out like that. We have learnt that you cannot deBaathify easily, people who have been in power for 50yrs and have access to arms and training will not give up easily

Iran will want to bring US boot on ground so they can get an advantage, At the end of the day only someone in power currently that is slightly moderate might be accepted. At the end they might just settle on Perzekhian the president if he is not a radical as well

You cannot root out 50yrs of programming with bombs and rockets in 1yr

izzou:
The woman could have simply collected her rice, and go home to vote her conscience, abi?

The Man kidnapped could have simply told us he is supporting Tinubu for money, rather than telling us that security is perfect; The same insecurity that's keeping his family restless.
If you want a change, you act. Whether you collect bread or not, what did you do?
That's why Musa is correct. No matter how you pity these kinds of people, they will still vote again.
Tinubu will still pull large numbers in those villages of the North West and North East. I mean, people who lost their fathers and Mothers will vote him again

See

This is the type of things Madrid gets away with

BelieVe me, Russia didn't go all out with Ukraine, if they did, it will provoke the anger of the entire world, especially when the war Russia is fighting, isn't even welcomed by most countries. So, the best Russia can do, is play it the way they're playing it.

And why would Russia care about the anger of the entire world? If the US wants to do something, they do it and the others follow them

Theflint1:
He won't win, but you must agree that he has supporters, and they're enough to create the nuisance value they create.

This is your bias talking

Who will Tinubu contest against in this Nigeria 1v1 that can defeat him? Only Atiku stands a chance

Spy360:
Do you think that in a free and fair election, with above 50% turn out of eligible voters, that Tinubu will win 20% of the votes?

If your answer is yes, then I'll stop

Yes Tinubu votes represent the wish of Nigerians

Just yesterday APC won 5 out of 6 FCT seats. PDP won the last one. ADC, LP nowhere

Emotions no dey do politics

Spy360:
You see why we are against succesive governments and only seek the next best person?

Amoda told us not to vote for him in 2027 if he doesn't provide constant electricity.

Any president that cannot solve the electricity issue should not be president again

And that best person is Tinubu with what we have seen in his last 3yrs. Way bettwr than the alternatives

izzou:
Hehehehehe
Despise kwa? Easy, my Chief.
Well, I can't say for the North, but for the South, roads are currently ongoing. The Sagamu to Ijebu Ode is ongoing..
The Benin to Asaba is ongoing. The East West road is ongoing. Benin to Sapele is ongoing, and some others I can't remember sha. Owerri to Aba is also ongoing. Julius Berger still dey do Lagos/Ibadan expressway since GEJ era too.
They are all concrete too.
He is doing well in terms of roads. We have to give him that!

On your mandate izzou stand Bola

It'd be a problem if I told the FAM to tighten their belts while I went about living lavida loca

Tighten their belts and see the benefits like the people in various states are seeing

Theflint1:
Understood, your style is to first block, then label them toxic.

You enjoyed being a prophet of doom under Jonathan, allow people enjoy same under Tinubu without getting labelled, in the spirit of freedom of opinion.

I'm sure you won't find my posts boring if it was 95% about the glory of Tinubu like Raumduter does tho...in fact you'd call it bringing balance

Do you find my post boring?

Theflint1:
There's no capital project investment from the state or federal government that's translated in an improved quality of life for the average Nigerian.
I agree that Tinubu has made more funds available, but there's nothing on ground that indicates that wasn't him making more funds available for him, and others in the political elite to embezzle.

The suffering Nigerians are grappling with, in the name of much needed structural changes has been for so little, hopefully things get better, but you seriously should begin to consider that we might be going through hell for next to nothing.

You mean those saying that Otti is a good governor are lying or paid agents

You mean those plying that coastal road, their lives and commute have not improved
