Federal Government Raids Corrupt Judges, Recovers Millions from Their Homes

Image result for arrested judges in the judiciary in AbujaThe Federal Government through the Department of State Security Services have at last made good its promise to take the bull by the horns and halt the gale of mindless corruption that has eaten deep into the fabric of the Judiciary. Following series of petitions and months of painful investigation using modern tracking technologies the DSS launched the raids which netted nine judges, many others apparently tipped off by a fifth columnists. The raids were sanctioned by the supervisory body, the National Judicial Council (NJC) which sent shock waves within elitists circles especially the Federal Civil Service. Those arrested include  Supreme Court Judges, Justice Sylvanus Ngwunta and  Justice John Inyang Okoro, both of whom were alleged to have received heavy bribes from Governor Wike for favorable decision following his disputed election. Recovered from Justice Ngwunta are: N35,208 million, $319,475, 25,89 pounds, 280 euros; He is said to be heavily involved in massive development of properties in Abuja and Calabar; From Justice Okoro was recovered: N4.35million, $38,833 and  1,000 euros; Justice Okoro is said to be building 7 houses simultaneously in Calabar. Other arrested Judges include Justice Abdullahi Liman believed to have collected a whopping $2 million from Governor Wike to favor the Ahmed Makarfi PDP led Committee in their face-off with the controversial Sheriff led faction. He is accused of sharing the loot with Justice Ibrahim Auta  who stands as the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court of Nigeria.

The others include  Justice Dimgba Nnamdi and Justice Mauzu Pindinga, who collected a bribe of N100 million to subvert justice ( from the same Governor Wike) and  Justice Mohammed Ladan Tsaminya. By far the biggest catch yet is Justice Adeniyi Ademola in whose bedroom was found a sickening N54 million cash, $171,779, 4,400 euros, and 1,010 rupes. Though the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has condemned the spate of arrests, The Expose News gathered that  the Buhari led administration is determined to clean up the nuisance of corruption in the Judiciary. A cross section of Abuja residents interviewed were shocked that Judges could descend so low despite their oath of office. A report that emerged after their arrest showed that none had spent their salary in the last two years! One Isa Ahmed hailed Buhari by saying" Now he is proving to be the Sai Baba that we voted; he must not spare anyone". Another respondent said "this is happening in the same country where innocent people could hardly afford common N200!"

2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS SHOCKING REVELATIONS ABOUT FUNDS DISBURSEMENT

How the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan frittered away the nation’s scarce resources is beginning to spill out – despite the shrill insistence by ex-Finance Minister, Okonjo Iweala that the records sheet were clean! Information pieced together by our investigators show that several paramilitary Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior shared a record 10 billion each for the purpose of influencing the March 28 General Elections in favour of the defeated incumbent.   However, things did not go down well with the ranks and file during the sharing. Outgoing Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Boss (name withheld) was said to have misappropriated the huge booty by allegedly pocketing 5 billion for himself, while declaring the other half (5 billion) as the sum total.   The bone of contention was that while the rank and file received 40,000 each some key associates close to the big guns went home with a hefty slice.   Causing the rumble.

OPEN LETTER TO HON. BABATUNDE FASHOLA

Permit me to go straight to the point.  All protocols observed Sir.  I note your massive achievement in your days as Governor of Lagos State.  And it is widely believed that your appointment as Minister of Works, Housing and Power would witness same admirable face-lift. As down to earth investigating Journalist, we travel a lot and wish to bring to your notice certain critical roads that need your urgent attention. One of them is the Lokoja-Okene highway.  Honorable Minister, the continued state of this road is a serious indictment and slap on the face of whoever is the Director of Federal Highways in your Ministry.  This major artery, as important as it is, has caused several unnecessary loss of lives.  There is simply no excuse for this road to remain in this dangerous state two years into the tenure of this administration.  What then differentiates the APC Government from the PDP, if not prompt attention to vital national assets? Seco...

BISHOP DAVID ANGEL, A.K.A. BAZOOKA, BRINGS RELIEF TO TROUBLED FAMILIES IN KETTI

. The Bishop is young, vibrant and full of vitality; once he mounts the Altar, let’s say 10.oclock in the morning, he hardly gets down till hours later; he conducts Service with consummate passion, enthusiasm and rapt attention to minute details; he quotes the scriptures eloquently, sings to the admiration of the worshippers and preaches with fiery candor that reminds you of the inimitable father of prosperity.. Bishop David Oyedepo! What a coincidence, the younger and the old bear the same name! What follows next follows next is prophesy, prophesy upon prophesy! He says “if there is a man to pray there is a God to answer”! Not done, the young powerful man of God is angry: “This error must be corrected”, he charges when service gets hotter. The “error” he is talking about are legion: protracted barrenness, stagnation, limitation, unexplained difficulties, poverty and a life of non achievement! Many of the worshipers are those who are tired having visited several churches and Pastors...
