If the Buhari led government concluded all investigations it started, we would've made progress, and also avoid future reoccurrence. However there has been many probes ordered by his administration, which for some reason has not been concluded with the report made public. Some of this incidents claimed many lives of Nigerians, while others threatened our hallowed institutions; one would expect speedy conclusion of such probes, so that Nigerians will have answers, and for those who may have been responsible be duly punished according to the law.


Shiites Killing

In December 2015, over 350 members of Shiites Muslim sect were massacred by the Nigerian Army in their place of worship in Zaria, over right of way. It is instructive to note that Amnesty International also released the report of their own investigation, showing that the bodies of the victims which includes women and Children, were secretly buried in mass graves. However President Buhari who ordered a probe on the incident, has not fired or prosecuted any Army officer involved in this great atrocity. This has brought worldwide criticism on the government, and also suspicion, that the President may be taking this incident lightly because it is a different sect from his.


Rann Bombing

On January 17, 2017, a Nigerian Air force Jet took off from the airport base and flew to an IDP camp in RANN Borno State, and bombed the camp, killing over 115 Nigerians including women and Children. The Airforce called this a mistake, and again the President ordered a probe into the incident, but almost 3 years now, no one has been punished for that incident, or tangible explanation given for the tragedy that happened.

The Air force Chief has also been in office without consequences.


Ikoyi Stolen Dollars

November 2017, the media was awash with numerous photos of cash found in an apartment in Ikoyi Lagos, allegedly belonging to the wife of a former NIA head, Ayodele Oke. Over 43 million dollars was found hidden in this apartment, the President ordered a probe, which was led by Prof. Osinbajo, which later recommended the dismissal and prosecution of the former NIA chief.

Oke was fired for this incident, but no one is facing trial over this incident. It is instructive to note that in his statement, Ayodele Oke said the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) was well briefed on its operations which included the reason for hiding the money there.


Soldiers killed Police officers to Free a notorious Kidnapper

In August 2019, the Nigerian Police in Taraba State, arrested a notorious Kidnapper, Wadume. And while transporting him to the police station for detention and prosecution, they were ambushed by men of the Nigerian Army, who shot and killed 3 police officers and one innocent civilian, then went ahead to free the kidnapper. The Police came on twitter and decried the killing of their men by the army, but the army also took to twitter and publicly defended their men who carried out the operation.

It was later revealed that a Senior officer, Capt. Tijani Balarabe, ordered that operation. The President ordered a probe into the incident, and again it has not been concluded. Wadume and Capt. Tijani who ordered the ambush have also not been prosecuted, the soldiers who carried out the attack, have not been court-martialed.


National Assembly Invasion

August 2018, masked men of the DSS took over the National assembly with guns and attempted a "Legislative coup". Simultaneously, the convoy of the Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki was blocked on his way to work, while the Deputy Senate P{resident's home was cordoned off by men of the Nigerian Police at the same time. This was an attempt to forcefully change the leadership of the National Assembly. The Acting President Prof. Osinbajo, ordered the sack of the Former DG of DSS, Lawan Daura, and his arrest. He was later released behind the scenes without prosecution, while the President ordered another probe into the incident. This probe is also inconclusive, and nothing has come out of it since then, while the perpetrator is free. It is believed that the President is covering up for him because he may have ordered the invasion.


Former SGF Babchir Lawal and IDP Funds

The former Secretary to Government of the Federation, Babchir Lawal who was indicted for corruption by a probe ordered by President Buhari, and subsequently fired, is still a free man without any prosecution. This probe became necessary after many Nigerians cried out on his involvement in diverting money meant for IDP's.

One would expect that a government that claims to fight corruption will move quickly to prosecute Babachir Lawal, but instead they have kept quiet on this incident since, and Babachir is free without consequences.


Agatu Killings

From February to March 2016, about 300-500 Nigerians were Killed in Agatu, Benue State by suspected Fulani herders, women and Children were butchered in their sleep, and homes razed down by fire. The President ordered a probe into the incident which has been again inconclusive. HE even sent the former IG of Police to the area, but it was later revealed that the IG did not particularly obey the order.


Killing of PDP woman Leader

This incident is recent, but it is on this list because of the importance. A PDP woman leader, Mrs Achejuh Abuh was killed in her home by suspected APC supporters after the Kogi State Governorship elections. She was burnt alive.

The President ordered a probe, and we have not seen or heard the report of this probe, or even know the names of the people probing this incident. Could it just be mere lip service?


ISIS leader got Nigerian Visa

A notorious and wanted ISIS leader, Ahmed Al-Assir was apprehended in Lebanon on his way to Nigeria, with a Nigerian Visa on his passport. Which raised the question on how a wanted terrorist got a valid Nigerian Visa without being flagged by the authorities. This is coming at time ISIS arm in West Africa; Boko Haram, is mounting serious war on Nigeria in the North East, killing many soldiers and civilians, with suspicion that they are working with highly placed Nigerian officials, for them to have access to the deadly and sophisticated weapons they've been using. This makes it even more important to discover which official gave him the Nigerian Visa and who gave the order?

4 years later, the probe ordered by President Buhari on this incident is inconclusive.

We hope that as we enter a new year, that some of the reports of these probes will be made public, and the people involved are punished according to the law.
