There were indications over the weekend that President Muhammadu buhari’s anti-corruption war is being revved up as investigations closed-in on another confidant of President Goodluck Jonathan.

The on-going investigations border on some scandalous deals in the petroleum industry regarding Offshore Processing Agreements, OPAs, whereby crude oil, worth billions of naira, was given to traders in exchange for refined imported products – specifically, Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, also known as petrol, as well as the illegal use of diplomatic passports by some individuals to engage in illegal foreign exchange movements.

Sunday Vanguard investigations also revealed that the presidential directive issued last month, instructing the Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, to withdraw diplomatic passports from some individuals, who are no longer in service, was a swift move by the Buhari Presidency to forestall

what a source described as the “the continued use of the passports by some dirty individuals to smuggle foreign exchange out of the country”.

Meanwhile, the trial of some of “those believed to have illegally benefited from petroleum subsidy would resume with Buhari determined to ensure that monies stolen from the treasury of the Federal Government of Nigeria, FGN, would be recovered”, a Presidency source disclosed to Sunday Vanguard

We were also made to understand that the outcry by the immediate past Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, who now occupies the position of Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, regarding tens of billions of dollars that were missing, can be linked to some powerful individuals who

walked Aso Rock Presidential Villa freely



Oil deals

Some documents sighted by Sunday Vanguard, regarding the activities of some persons known to have enjoyed the confidence of the Villa, showed the intricate web of conspiracy for the purpose of milking the Nigerian state.

Two companies (names withheld), used principally for some of the deals which saw Nigeria losing billions of dollars through oil deals and whose addresses are the same, located in Victoria Island, were directly linked to the Presidency.

Presidency officials during the Jonathan administration had argued that the selection of one of the companies was based purely on merit and that it was not fronting for anyone.

But one of the promoters of one of the companies, who featured prominently in the “SWISS TRADERS’ OPAQUE DEALS IN NIGERIA,” is said to have had familial links with one of the confidants of the former President who got him appointed into one of the Multi-National Commissions/ Joint Development Authorities, JDAs, that Nigeria had with one of its neighbours.

It was learnt that some of the directors of the Commissions/JDAs carry diplomatic passports.

The companies were, according to a source, used “to engage in all manner of oil deals some of which did not enjoy the benefit of due process but were anchored and driven from the Presidency”.

Sunday Vanguard gathered that the CBN’s directive on the deposit of foreign currencies into domiciliary accounts in Nigeria was a function of the realisation by the Buhari Presidency that huge sums of forex were being warehoused by some individuals who had direct access to the Villa in the last dispensation.

Indeed, a few of those who were said to have been intercepted while trying to take millions of dollars abroad were described by a Presidency source as “having direct links to Aso Rock in the last administration”.

This is a different leg of the investigation into the corruption allegedly allowed to fester by the Jonathan Presidency, totally different from the former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Allison-Madueke.

Acting on a petition before it, Sunday Vanguard was informed by the Presidency source that “a lot of terrible things were discovered to have happened, especially in the last days of the last administration, but Mr. President is acting on some of the information while investigations are on-going; also”.

The source added: “Those close to the Villa in the last dispensation and known to be involved are being zeroed-in on.”

Enough of this we will. PMB administration should stop this media prosecution and quickly get to work by speeding up the probe process, charge all the persons involved to court for prosecution. People should serve as examples before this government can be taken seriously! !

This country would have practically died if Jonathan had won the election ... praise be to God who saved this country .... hmmmmm

Frankly speaking, I am so disappointed on the immediate past administration. Jonathan may be the most corrupt president ever. He was so reckless.

we mistake activity for action. talk is cheap, we haven't seen anything he has done

Is it only me that observed that the government of Buhari will always manufacture story to distract the public whenever there are issues against it? This story was to divert the attention of the public from the morally bankrupt men that Buhari nominated as ministers AND to distract us from the spate of Boko Haram bombing. This distraction tactic of Buhari and his agents is Dead on Arrival.

On topic, Buhari SHOULD prosecute whoever is wanting and stop disturbing us with 'probe' noise.

APC na was oooo

It is not enough. You guys should stop all dis rubbish talk that it is enough. Probes must continue. It is not a distraction. It is a najor part of governance. It does not prevent development rather it promotes development.

The people who voted Buhari voted him 4 this reason. Those of us who voted him are happy with his style.

To you it is distraction. To those of us who voted for him it is an important revelation. And those who share my view are d majority. Democracy is about majority. So you can wail all you like , it changes nothing.

Coming from Vanguard, a PDP media outlet, this is definitely plausible.

Tighten more than noose, darling Bubu, crush some balls while at it!!!!

Meanwhile the crazy ones here are claiming the policy was to systematically kill the businesses of their kinsmen, like it's not PMB's people whose biz it is to deal with currency that will be most affected..


Like it's even the 10k$ ,34k$ stashed in underwears that is being talked about...

Wonder why some people manage to make everything all about them everytime.!!!

You stopped making sense a very long time ago

He's disturbing you with probe noise abi ? Madueke , her mother and uncle are noises ?

Saraki is a noise ?

More people being arrested is a Noise ??

Alamesiya death rumor noise ?


FYI , Amaechi is under fire, if he's corrupt , i am sure Buhari will ensure he gets what he deserves

Is it Buhari that is investigating Madueke since 2013? Did UK NCA ever mention that they recognise one corruption govt led by Buhari? Didn't Sahara Reporters made it clear that Buhari has NO iÑput in Alison's case? Abi na Buhari kill Alamesiegha? The noise of probe is not impressing Nigerians.

The only groups of Nigerians that are not impressed are the ones who never believed in him in the first place, so no loss there. you can't lose what you never had..

sahara reported 2yrs ago that the this woman had cancer but it was denied, the same illness is now being used to evoke sympathy..

As for alams, if he's truly dead; (the jury is still out on that (pun intended), then its the cruelest form of irony..

Stealing billions, being scared to travel to the west for effective medicare, & then dying in a teaching hospital like a peasant!!!!!

Anyone that is caught & successfully prosecuted will be severely dealt with but till then, quit with the community policing...

Amaechi's destiny is not tied to jona & they were never brothers...

Buhari will not do anything, he will only keep on probing on media till his tenure elapses.

Am I missing something? How does this relate to the posted you quoted?

Buhari is a legend in the realm of incompetence

Whereas in the Dikko case Buhari ran into trouble with the British government for attempting to abduct a resident on its territory without warning, this time Buhari appears to have been working closing with British authorities before Allison-Madueke’s arrest; The raiding of her home in Abuja by local anti-graft agents appeared to be synced with her arrest in London.
And it was a newly formed International Corruption Unit of UK’s National Crime Agency that made the arrests of five people (including Allison-Madueke) connected to the case.


Those arrests came after concerted efforts by Buhari to pressure Western governments and financial institutions to help combat money laundering and recover misappropriated funds from corrupt regimes, particularly in African countries.

Unlike your tin god , Buhari wouldn't announce on TV that he cured Ebola from Nigeria

Carry your fictitious and non-verified 'source' from a wackless blog wakar. I know propaganda when I see one.

1. Show me any statement credited to NCA that they are working with EFCC

2. Show me how the NCA even need Buhari for prosecuting bribery/laundry case that happened on UK soil.

3. Show me anywhere when Buhari indicted Alison or invited her or even demanded her extradition.

Ride On Buhari those who voted for you are 150% in support of your actions...

Why will I as a Nigeria be saving over a year to buy an EOD and a Ghanian will come from nowhere to steal billions of dollars in Nigeria even when Otuoke has no portable water for its people...

Ride On Baba

Allegations and counter allegations meanwhile our economy is dying and the dullard has presented a combination of expired politicians to kill it off.

Where are the technocrats to help steer Nigeria away from the rocks.

rusher14:
There is no noise associated with this government's probe of illicit deals from the last administration.

For this purpose the Buhari government was voted.

It was expected, was never going to be easy but certainly required.

As the fifth estate of the realm, the media is playing its role of publishing its findings on activities which they consider newsworthy.

This is no distraction actually but an echoing of what this government has always stated.

May this administration continue to hunt down and bring to justice those who have looted public funds.

From your write up Buhari was elected to probe Jonathan.

It does not matter if our hospitals are moribund or if our roads are impassable or our economy is crashing so far the witch hunt is on you are satisfied.

If Buhari is serious about fighting corruption we will know but as long as the likes of Tinubu, Obasanjo, Amaechi, IBB and cronies are roaming freely then he is joking.

Please enough of all these nonsense and conjectures. When are we going to see real governance and all these propaganda?
