There
is apparent lull in the activities of whistle blowers in Nigeria. The Tempo suddenly fizzled out with the
arrest and detention in Kuje of a whistle blower said to have provided wrong
information. “It is not lull as you
think” says Sunday Agbabiaka, a Civil Servant in Abuja. “What you see is the result of subdued
environments”, he declared. Not since
the announcement of that policy has the Nigerian Government made so much
harvest of cash haul and eventual seizures in millions of dollars, pounds
sterling, etc. Yet, inspite of this,
life continues as usual.
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.
