The long arm of the law is catching up with those formerly described as sacred cows. This is all in the spirit of President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision to crack down on every suspected corrupt Nigerian. The purge spearheaded by the EFCC has been yielding good results. Now a former Custom boss is in the net; he has just returned 1 billion naira to the Federal Government in addition to having his 2 billion naira worth of mansion forfeited to the Federal Government! The Custom boss Alhaji Abdullahi Dikko had earlier returned a whopping 49 billion and was released on sick grounds. Five of his former Deputy Comptroller General’s retired and indicted had each returned the sum of 10 billion naira each to the Federal Government according to insider sources. The funds were allegedly drawn from proceeds of the 7% cost of collection and !% comprehensive import supervision scheme. He was arrested on June last year but released on grounds of poor health. A source in the EFCC confirmed that the EFCC Act Section 71 (b) gives them the power to investigate the property of any person if it appears to the EFCC that the person’s lifestyle and extent of properties are not justified by law. Section 28 says the Commission will immediately trace and attach all assets and seizures of such a person which has been acquired. Section 29 permits the assets of a person arrested under Section 28 to be seized by the State.

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.

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?
