1. The Maina Pension Scam: There was a
probe into pension funds that affected about
141,790 pensioners. Abdulrasheed Maina,
the Chairman of Pension Reform Task Team,
was accused of looting N195billion.The Senate set up a committee to
investigate the matter. During investigation,
Mr. Maina alleged that Aloysius Etuk,
representing Akwa Ibom State, demanded $
100,000 dollars from him as bribe. A former
director of pension in the office of the Head
of Service of the Federation, Sani Shuaibu
Teidi, who was prosecuted along with 31
others, also alleged that Mr. Etuk and other
members of the committee collected a bribe
of N3 billion from him. Although the Senate
seemed furious about the allegation, it did
not take decisive steps to investigate.
The National Assembly also did not push the
executive hard enough to implement its
report on the pension scam and punish
offenders.
2.
Kerosene subsidy scam: The kerosene
scam is considered monumental fraud by
the average Nigerian. Kerosene, which is
supposed to be sold for N50 to consumer,
sells for between N100 and N120 per litre.
Many years after a presidential directive
ended subsidy for kerosine, the NNPC
claimed it had continued to subsidise the
product.
Yet, Nigerians are not benefiting from the
subsidy as the product sells for far above
the official price at the pumps. Several
billion naira are believed to have been stolen
under the guise of kerosine subsidy. The
National Assembly made a feeble attempt to
get to the root of the matter. But it issued
no indictment and did not take concrete
steps to resolve the matter. No official of the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation,
and the petroleum ministry have been
sanctioned over the matter.

3.Police Pension Fund Fraud :Five people,
including former Director of Police Pension
Fund, Esai Dangabar, were accused of
misusing N32.8billion from the Police
Pension Fund. Mr. Dangabar accused some
committee members of the Senate of
benefiting from the loot. The senate denied
the allegation without ordering an
investigation. The world may never know
whether indeed the Senate joint Committee
on Establishment and Public Service Matter,
and State and Local Government Affairs
indeed took bribes from the pension thieves.

4.Stella Oduah : Before her removal as
Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah was
embroiled in a N255 million armoured car
scandal. She was accused of abusing her
office by compelling an agency under her
ministry to buy her expensive cars. The
House of Representatives has so far failed to
release a detailed report of its investigation
into the matter. Although Ms. Oduah was
later dropped as minister, other officials
involved in the matter remained untouched
till date.
Recently, a Federal High Court in Abuja
granted Media Rights Agenda (MRA) leave
to apply for an order to compel the House to
furnish it with transcripts of the proceedings
of the House Committee on Aviation at the
hearing of the Committee on the
procurement of the two bulletproof BMW
cars by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority
(NCAA) through Messrs Coscharis Motors
Limited.

5.Missing N20billion Naira oil money: In
2013, a former Governor of the Central Bank
of Nigeria, Lamido Sanusi, alleged that the
NNPC failed to remit billions of naira in oil
proceeds to the state. This caused a huge
rift between the CBN governor and President
Goodluck Jonathan, leading to the president
suspending Mr. Sanusi from office.
The National Assembly investigated the
matter but was unable to bring it to closure.

6.$15million private jet/arms scandal: A
private jet conveyed $15million in cash to
Johannesburg for a purported arms deal
between Nigeria and a South African firm.
That deal seriously embarrassed Nigeria, but
the National Assembly failed to investigate.
Attempts by lawmakers of the All
Progressives Congress to table the matter at
the House of Representatives were frustrated
by their Peoples Democratic Party’s
counterparts.

7.Abba Morro Immigration Scandal: Despite
the death of over 15 individuals who went to
write entrance examinations into the
Nigerian Immigration Service on March 13,
2015, the Minister of Interior, Abba Morro,
has remained in office. Before the entrance
test, candidates were made to pay N1,000
for application forms. A private company,
Drexel Nig Ltd, was also implicated in the
recruitment scam.
Although federal lawmakers commenced
investigation into the incident, nothing has
been heard of the matter ever since.
Nigerians suspect cover-up, especially
because the minister involved, Mr. Morro, is
a core loyalist of David Mark, the President
of the Senate, who doubles as the Chairman
of the National Assembly.

8.Malabu Oil Scandal: This was one of the
biggest oil scandals that did not receive the
kind of attention it deserves. It involves a
former Petroleum minister, Dan Etete, who
was convicted in France for money
laundering.
His illegal company, Malabu Oil, received an
illegal $1.1million from the Nigerian
government as proceeds for the sale of an
oil block. Upon receipt, the money was
immediately disbursed to certain individuals.
The National Assembly is yet to bring this
matter, which involves officials of the
presidency, ministers and business people,
to closure. There appears to be attempts to
cover up the matter.

9.Ekiti Gate: A leaked tape of the alleged
electoral malpractices during the
gubernatorial election in Ekiti State caused a
major stir in the country. Four principal
characters were heard discussing how to
manipulate the election. The voices were
those of former Minister of State for
Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro; the Minister of
Police Affairs, Jelili Adesiyan; former Deputy
governor of Osun state, Iyiola Omisore, and
the eventual winner of the election and
current governor of Ekiti state, Ayo Fayose.
Despite the huge evidence in the public
domain, the Presidency said it would not
investigate the matter.
The National Assembly has failed to
investigate the matter, which is clearly a
major assault on our democracy. Mr.
Obanikoro indeed went ahead to receive a
National Assembly approval for ministerial
appointment.

10.Farouk Lawan: House of Representatives
member, Farouk Lawan, was caught on tape
collecting $620,000 out of a $3million bribe
while his committee investigated the fuel
subsidy scam. He was seen collecting the
money from oil mogul, Femi Otedola.
The House of Representative referred the
bribery allegation to its committee on ethics.
But no report has been issued till date.
