Still on the unfinished business of the EFCC in Kogi state
—Let the supposed fight against corruption be total and holistic..
By Otori Ozigi
I want to make it abundantly clear at this juncture that I alighn myself completely with the ongoing fight against corruption by the President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
I have nothing against such fight if those leading the war against graft are not themselves guilty of corruption.
I will not be comfortable with a situation where corruption is fighting corruption abi initio.
Where is Abacha loots?
What happened to all the exotic vehicles recovered from suspected criminals over the years?
This is nothing but a mockery of the what is supposed to be a desired and holistic war against corruption in Nigeria.
Let me come to the kernel of this short piece from me this afternoon.
All I have been saying about the illegal activities of the EFCC versus FGYB in the last 8 years is that the so-called money laundering charges levelled against the firmer governor leaves a sour tastes in the mouth.
At best it is a selective and misguided attempt to call a dog a bad name in a bid to hang it.
The ongoing charge of alleged money laundering levelled against the former governor is dead on arrival..
It is a badly packaged tissues of lies and cocktail of fake news from the pit of hell.
First,the EFCC started their I’ll motivated investigation and prosecution from the Media again.
Who does that?
Why are they fixated with the romance with the media!?
Whatever happens to discreet and professional investigation and prosecution?
Why is EFCC in romance with sensationalism and over dramatisation of all their fights against suspected cases of corruption by political exposed Nigerians and others?
It is only EFCC that would go to a village and arrest everyone with a laptop as Yahoo yahoo criminals.
There mode of war against corruption is outmodel and anachronistic to put it mildly.
I think it was high time to scrap the entire institution called EFCC and let another entity be carefully put in place going forward.
Still on Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello so-called allegations of money laundering case brought against him.
We were told that he committed the offence in September 5,2015 as captured in the initial charge sheet deposited in the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The whole world is aware that this is clearly a white lie from the pit of hell.
Except Alhaji Yahaya Bello have become a celestial body that could steal a whooping 80 billion from the government of Capt. Idris Ichalla Wada who was the sitting governor of kogi as at that time in history.
Recall that the entire allocations from the Federation Account was a miserable 58 billion naira accrued to Kogi State in 2015.
Suffice to say that when the vEFCC discovered it’s foolishness and Idiocracy it fast forward it to 2016.
In the new amended charges deposited to at the Federal High court sitting in Abuja, the shameless and useless lawyers of EFCC insisted blindly that,Akhaji Yahaya Bello allegedly swallowed the vexed 80 billion Kogi state money.
I strongly believe that a time would come when EFCC would be compelled to account for all the monies expended on that institution since it’s establishment under the administration of former president olusegun Obasanjo..
I think it is not mere coincidence that all the past chairmen left the organization in a blaze of unceremonious circumstances.
I strongly believe that EFCC needs urgent deliverance before the evil spirit tormenting the organization brings total shame and opprobrium to the whole country.
I will advise Alhaji Yahaya Bello to sit in the comfort of where he is and eat pounded yam and egusi soup and swallow it with a bottle of chilled palm wine and let EFCC be dancing skelewi upon and down.
EFCC is nothing but a big joke.
No reasonable people take them serious anymore.
Only the gullible Nigerians are clapping for them.
Let me remind EFCC that they should check files of late Prince Abubakar Audu who was facing trial for alleged 10 billion naira money laundering before he passed away.
Let them check the files of other suspected kogi criminals since 1990 till date.
The records are there.
