CORRUPTION: Names Of People Involved In Nigeria's High-profile Corruption Cases by Eborabadan(m): 9:08am On May 30, 2020 |
Over the years, Nigeria which was once the giant of Africa has been wallowing in poverty, underdevelopment, unemployment, epileptic electricity supply, security challenge and political instability. But corruption and money laundering has become its prime order in governance. Here is a list of some politicians that have faced corruption charges since the inception of democracy: 1.) Mohammed Abacha -N446 Billion case The Federal Government in February 2014, charged Alhaji Mohammed Abacha to court on nine counts charges of stealing and conspiracy. He was accused of unlawfully receiving about N446.3bn allegedly stolen from government coffers between 1995 and 1998. But the then Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Mohammed Adoke, asked Justice Mamman Kolo of the FCT High Court to strike out the charges on the grounds of “fresh facts” that just emerged concerning the case. He was silent on whether new charges would be filed against Mohammed or not. Efforts to arraign Mohammed on two previous occasions were unsuccessful because of his repeated absence from court. But he was present in court when a private prosecuting counsel, Daniel Enwelum, informed the court of Adoke’s instruction to discontinue the case. Applying to court for the withdrawal of the case, Enwelum said, “I have been instructed by the AGF and Minister of Justice to withdraw the charges as presently filed before this court, because there are fresh facts and documents available to him". Punishment: None. 2.) Stella Oduah -N255m car purchase scandal The committee set up by former President Goodluck Jonathan to probe the N255m bulletproof car scandal in the aviation ministry indicted the Minister, Ms. Stella Oduah. It was gathered in Abuja that the report of the presidential committee tallied with some findings of the House of Representatives Committee on Aviation, on the scandal. There were reports that with the approval of the minister, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) purchased two bulletproof BMW cars at an allegedly inflated rate of N255m. The development sparked a countrywide controversy with many Nigerians and groups calling for her sack. Punishment: Case still on trial 3.) Police Pension Fund Fraud The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned the ex-permanent secretary in the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs, Atiku Abubakar Kigo; the chief accountant, Mrs. Uzoma Cyril Attang, and four others before an Abuja High Court on an 18-count charge of conspiracy, breach of trust and embezzlement of N32.8 billion police pension funds. The six accused persons were docked before Justice Hussain Baba to whom the case was reassigned following a controversial judgement of the first trial judge, Justice Abubakar Talba who gave a light sentence to one of the accused, John Yusuf, who pleaded guilty to a three-count charge. But Attang, who was arraigned by the EFCC for the first time in connection with the alleged fraud, was granted N10million bail and two sureties in like sum. Those who were re-arraigned included Esai Dangabar, Atiku Abubakar Kigo, Ahmed Inuwa Wada, Mrs Veronica Ulonma Onyegbula, Sani Habila Zira, Christian Madubuike, and John Yusuf who had been convicted. Punishment: Accused got a two years sentence or 750,000 fine. He paid 750,000 as fine.

viyon02: Did Tinubu steal your father's money or your state money? The man only served as a governor in Lagos State and that's about 13yrs ago. Funny enough, the man has never held any federal government position before yet people like you with big lips will open your big mouth to label him of corruption. Oga Lagos State is doing fine under the leadership of Tinubu and no one cares weather he is corrupt or not. Go to your state or region and hold your leaders accountable for your misfortune. Stop shouting Tinubus name up and down |

You must be from another state but in Lagos politics, and if you are lagosian you must be stupid, you don't know what you just said, why on Earth you support someone that loot the future of unborn children. 3 Likes |

viyon02:You must be a wailing wailer. I don't know when having businesses in Nigeria become a crime. You are just wailing with nothing to say. I expected you to even tell us how he stole Lagos money but you are just nagging for the success of another man. Tinubu we all know had money before he contested as Lagos State governor. So as a former governor you expect him to have nothing and be poor. Mention Tinubus family you know who control any part of Lagos apart from his wife who is a senator. All these wailings and baseless accusations won't help you. Lagos is doing fine under Tinubu 1 Like |

RuudVanNisteroy: So Tinubu is now federal government who will provide 24hours electricity and water for Nigeria right. You guys won't cease to amaze me with you hogwash talk. What has Tinubus problems in Chicago and USA got to do with your wailings or progress of Lagos State? Let's start comparing Lagos with other states in Nigeria first before we go international. You guys don't have any reason allegation against Tinubu. All you do is shout without any evidence. Well talk is cheap |

RuudVanNisteroy:It is funny how people have turned to, you abandoned your self acclaimed duty to attack your kleptomaniac politicians in your region to drag tinubu who has never ruled Nigeria before, lagos has recorded remarkable achievement under tinubu leadership, Tinubu groomed politicians are occupying important positions in Nigeria political settings today, Vice president, speaker etc. and you want to drag such person with Kobo kobo mb data.

I know your highly fustrated and depressed with tinubu matter, since your ogogoro adopted godson was booted out of office, Tinubu only crime to a particular tribe , is his alliance with PMB to win win 2015 elections.
