You are getting it wrong. All the offence he committed falls under the purview of the EFCC and NAFDAC (fake oil, and illegal profits).
NAFDAC will prosecute him, but who will charge him for profiting illegally?
Okay let me tell you a life experience. EFCC blocked one of my friends account and he was worried why such will happen as he have not done anything wrong financial wise.
A month earlier his truck was seized by Customs for engaging in illegal rice smuggling.
So, customs will be prosecuting him and afterwards hand over the financial matters to EFCC. This was the reason his account was frozen.
He was actually committing economic & financial crimes. Same as oil bunkering and rice smuggling. All this fall under the purview of Customs and EFCC.
In the court, this palm oil dealer will be joined in court by both EFCC and NAFDAC.
Strange that Nigerians don't know the ACTS setting up agencies.

The challenge in Nigeria is that government agencies duplicate effort and that amount to waste of resources.

If I assume that EFCC can prosecute the accused for illegal profiting, the primary offence is that the accused runs a business of adulteration of palm oil, the illegal profitearing is sequel to that primary offence which ordinarily will result to forfeiting income generated from the business upon confirmation of guilty verdict by competent court of law.

So why should EFCC waste resources and effort when NAFDAC can effectively prosecute the accused. They could simply have notified NAFDAC on the allegation or their findings and followup with NAFDAC to ensure action is taken.

frowland:
Economic crime rings a bell? Doubt you even know the meaning of EFCC.

Oh please, be realistic: EFCC is not established to prosecute food adulteration or counterfeiting crimes. That is NAFDAC's job

omoadeleye:
So how they arrest them is bad now? They should keep mute because is not their area of jurisdiction ba? Always tap sense before you comment

What happened to collaboration with NAFDAC? That was the job of NAFDAC. NAFFAC is the body to prosecute the accused.

Jimi24:
The writer knows Daura and Buhari more than Aisha. You need to realize Aisha is second wife and came into the picture when the first phase of Buhari's life had passed. He had practically lost his entire first family to divorce and later bereavement.
Nigeria is also demographically young. Most Nigerians only of Daura in 2015. We who were in secondary school in mid 1970s in Lagos and were politically aware read editorials in New Nigerian penned by Daura. Some of us were critical of the backwardness and conservatism of the North BUT it was Mamman Daura, Bala Usman, and a few other guys mostly university lecturers that we saw as hope of the region.
I bet the fact that the man is even educated to Masters level is a shock to most ignorant lazy youths who comment on social media.
The other idiocy is the one about Daura living in Aso Rock. Pls shut up if you dont know. Buhari can bring any relative into Aso Rock. GEJ did and even brought extended family members. Trump has all his family in the White House with his son in law making foreign policy. Such is the power of executive presidency. If you dont know, find out or shut up. The President can make a relative part of his personal staff and instruct him to be accommodated in aso rock. The power behind the mandate we give our Presidents and governors are massive and encompassing.

Talking about a cabal is amateurish. Every presidency has a cabal. GEJ had a cabal. OBJ had a cabal. Everytime you a President says " you guys will work with me closely but I wont give the most important amongst you any appointments but you will make policy with me" then you have a cabal. Cabal also arises when a Vice Presidency is resourced from another faction of a party. George H Bush (father of George W Bush) was vice president to Ronald Reagan but throughout his VP days there was always a group (cabal) around Ronald Reagan running things and George Bush was an outsider to governance most of the time. There is a cabal around all state governors in Nigeria. There has to be. You cannot be governor without an informal group feeding you info and extending your insight into society that institutions of government dont give because they are too structured.

Oh! Shut up! Stop justifying the ills of this government or any government at all.

wirinet:
Border cannot be cheaper. You are meant to pay the same duties you pay at the ports at the borders, but custom officers connive with smugglers to short change the duties or avoid them altogether. Remember, the shipping cost is the same to Cotonuo and apapa ports, Benin government charge about 5 - 10% duties on imported items, and you transport items to border posts to pay Nigerian duties again, before you drive through the horrendous Badagry Road to get to mile 12.
Now, how is it cheaper going through the land borders?

If the items originate through Benin or west Africa, yes it would be cheaper, but not when coming from China, Thailand or India.

Port charges in Nigeria are higher than port charges in our neighbouring countries.

wirinet:
They did not ban food importation, they banned importation (smuggling ) through the land borders.
If you want to import food into the country, import it through Apapa port, Tin can Island ports, Calabar ports, or any other Nigerian sea ports.

Why must importers of unbanned products use airport or seaport? Why not the border if it is cheaper after paying the import duties and levies required?

Honestly, banning importation via the borders is not a good move.

I like her

Who is stunned?

kunmiiii:
calling Nigerian students the only functional group with right mind frame is very debatable, but that aside, the policemen attached to the convoy of the First lady were not there to control aggrieved youths but to protect their principal, hurling projectiles at them and the VIP is a threat and was treated as such, an educated person should know this.

Really, you mean it was so much threat that necessitated the use of live bullets on students with fatal intentions.

We're the students armed with weapons? Did they open fire of bullets at Fayemi's wife and her entourage?

Do you understand the "Rules of Engagement" or have you ever heard of it.

Honestly, I don't see any justification in what Mrs Fayemi's security entourage did. I also believe that Fayemi's wife and the officers that killed unarmed students should be held responsible for the killings and injuries.

Besides, what is the constitutional or government role of the wife of a governor or president. Their status is alien to the Nigeria constitution hence, I can't understand what gave her and her security officers the effrontery to act in such barbaric and wicked manner.

UdyOgwoUde:
Read my comment before you quote me

Your comment is about a defender who won world footballer of the year.

We are analysing Africa's best strikers. What is your point?

UdyOgwoUde:
Cannavaro won FIFA best player as a defender

Can you read the subject of this discussion again? Maybe you will understand that we are talking strikers not midfielder or defenders.

This man is high on alter wine

TMKsouth:
This is what attracted them Don't act like you don't know SA ROCKS!!

Obviously, you have a problem, check into a mental care facility. They may be able to help you.

TMKsouth:
Stay in your own countries and fix them yourselves. That way you will stop begging me to accept you.

Something dey work you.

livinbygrace:
So it’s right for TuFace(a dropout,cultist ) to give lecture at OAU and honored but wrong for MC to be invited ?Most of you just go to school but drop your sense at the entrance .NURTW is legally registered organization in Nigeria and they are recobginzed as a section of transportation ministry.

Bill Gates was a drop out yet he has addressed and employed graduates of Harvard University severally.

Tuface was a drop out, I don't know about the cultist accusation you put up against him, he can address OAU students with due respect especially because he is not into a shameful, dangerous and ridiculous profession

Tuface is an "Agbero" or Thug.

livinbygrace:

Did I argue about NURTW? I see you went to school without the simple ability to comprehend statements.

Perhaps you are "Agbero wanna be" so it is pointless having this discussion with you.

If you so desire a banter on Nairaland, please look elsewhere not my mention.

Duggedised12:
nope

Read it again till you get the gist. I trust you can get it; I didn't use any code in my statement.

Duggedised12:
sorry ,rephrase

Don't tell me you didn't get the gist

Duggedised12:
i am not a Muslim o, lol disregard that thing on my profile, na strong head carry me enter Muslim thread lol.

Really, Nairaland has so much room for people willing to express their views in masks. The strong head still dey work you abi

Duggedised12:
The outrage should be directed at our lawmakers ,they are the real monsters who set the rules only to favor them.

I see you are a Moslem. It will be interesting to have people like you champion the advocacy for review of the consent age.

It is a Moslem religious ideology that was deliberately introduced to the Nigerian laws.

Duggedised12:
The age of sexual consent in Nigeria is 11 years Know the law before the outrage. So at best its not statutory rape. This is why your senators marry 13 year olds and get away with it.

Well, your point is noted, especially given that Nigeria has the lowest age of consent in the world. This can only escape statutory rape in the Nigeria but no where else in the world.

However, I think the law should be reviewed in respect of age of consent in Nigeria. You should be advocating such change especially being a concerned lady.

The crime is best described as statutory rape. The little girl is just 12 years old hence her consent to sex is immaterial. He raped her.

Honestly, I am ashamed to identify with UNILAG on this invite to MC Oluomo as Special Guest.

Could the institution be subtly encouraging students to engage such shameful, volatile and dangerous profession.

We shall see how it will pan out in 2023

popcykaylah:
Na wah o.. she said too much .. what’s with cursing his kids ?? Na wah o all these women self

Wetin the guy do sef? Even if she felt offended, she could have addressed it with him rather than bring the drama to social media.

Even Otedola assists artists and we read about it on social media, if she is ashamed to be helped by the Actors Guild, why accept the money offering?

TMKsouth:
I was regurgitating the bull you fools also say when referring to SA. Or haven't you noticed? Go back to school man - somewhere underneath a tree like you gorillas do.

I do not need to return to school to identify nonentities like you. Have you taken a critical look at yourself and compare with a gorilla?

Just let me know when you find a difference. I can still bet that you and your lots will neither be useful to yourselves or the despicable South Africa in the nearest future until you abolish this destructive, bitter and hateful mentality.

TMKsouth:
That was the intent. Been warning you people since 2008 and yet you wont budge. Nigeria must be a serious shithole for your people to withstand this.

I should think you are in the fools paradise of South Africa, thinking you are in heaven. I wonder what attracted Nigerians to your fools paradise abinitio.

Anyway, we still love the shithole and we will be glad to return from the den of destructive haters, burglars and thieves in guise of xenophobia.

TMKsouth:
We really are. that's why you should warn others not to come squat in our country.

I don't need to warn others, they have seen your real person and nature already.

TMKsouth:
Why would we be intimidated by Nigerians when we have the Chinese who have actually built their economy to become the 2nd biggest in the world?

Oh wait... you gonna say something stupid and meaningless like that you have swagger and our women want you ; Learn to embrace meaningful things FOOL!

You mentioned those issues yourself, if it was meaningless to you, you will not remember it or note it as possible issues that intimidate you.

The counterfeit products your mayor was talking about were not produced in Nigeria, further investigation may indicate that they were produced in China that you so much extol. Why don't you get your government to standardise products shipped to your country?

However, there is no point trying to reason with a devastated, demented and uncivilised human being like you. Nigerians will go back home thankfully.

TMKsouth:
They've introduced bribery to the police - that's why communities are taking the law into their own hands. We're reset-ing our country and going back to the SA we were once proud of.

Which SA? The one before Mandela uprising or the one after? The one the Nigerian government had to make effort to save your ancestors, I am almost certain you weren't born then.

TMKsouth:
Also fly back the other hundred-of-thousands still loitering about benefiting from their proceeds of crime.

If they are willing to return, we will take them back to Nigeria. However, it is not enough reason for you to attack and kill them.

If you think they are criminals, report them to the police and let the law take it's course.

TMKsouth:
In SA we wont tolerate it. We have serious problems that dont need you to adding to them.

Why not take up your government and employers on that issue rather than attack foreigners.

Now I see how ridiculous you guys are.
