Meet The Senator Who Signed Andrew Yakubu's Bail (photo) by jcflex(m): 7:16am On Feb 18, 2017 |
Last week, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) busted the Kaduna residence of a former managing director of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Andrew Yakubu. It was gathered that the raid on Yakubu's residence was due to a information given to the commission by a whistle-blower. Following the raid, $9.8 million and 74,000 British pounds were recovered by the EFCC. Although the former managing director claimed that the money was presented to him as gift by an associate, a Federal High Court sitting in Kano has ordered that the monies be forfeited to the federal government. Also, few days after the money was recovered by the EFCC, Yakubu was arrested and later granted administrative bail by the commission. The bail condition given by the EFCC included the provision of a surety, Daily Nigerian reports. The online news media also said a serving senator stood as surety for the former NNPC's managing director. Sources said the anti-graft agency had planned to detain Yakubu pending its conclusion on investigations against him. The source, however, the senator representing Kaduna South senatorial district (Peoples Democratic Party) Danjuma Laah, 56, filled the bail document for the release of Yakubu. He also said Laah, popularly known as 'the sleeping senator' is a regular visitor to Yakubu's Unguwan Wakili residence in Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna state. The source also said a retired military army general is among many others trooping the EFCC headquarters to facilitate Yakubu's release. https://www.naij.com/1088959-meet-senator-signed-andrew-yakubus-bail-photo.html 1 Like 1 Share

Well, a friend in need is a friend indeed! Someone just has to be there for him. Someone had to sign the bail document. And it's not news that 99% of our lawmakers are ultra corrupt. 125 Likes 5 Shares |

Afterall Yakubu was part of Sen. Laah's financiers to the National Assembly. In a saner clime, no top politician would want to associate with Yakubu openly, but here in Naija, it's a pride to associate with him. Top politicians not only associated with ex-convicts like, Bode George and James Ibori, after leaving prisons, they were also celebrated in their respective churches. Therefore, its not a big deal that a mere senator bailed a mere ex-GMD of NNPC. Na Naija we dey jare 16 Likes |

Chuksonyeike: I weep for my country because of ppl like u. In sane societies, no reasonable person will associate with such a person. But all u could vomit is tribalistic and religious rubbish. No hope for this country with ppl like u. The most annoying part if all is dat ur life is not better despite all ur support for looters. Get a life bro. 53 Likes |
