The pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere; a Second Republic lawmaker, Dr. Junaid Mohammed; and the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights, among others, came down heavily on the Federal Government over the release of a looters’ list containing just six names.

They described the list as laughable while accusing the government and the All Progressives Congress of spreading propaganda and lies.

The Federal Government on Friday made good its promise to release to Nigerians the list containing names of alleged treasury looters.

The list which was released by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in Lagos, on Friday,  identified the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Prince Uche Secondus;  former National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh; and the Chairman of DAAR Communications, Dr. Raymond Dokpesi, as some of the people who looted the treasury.

Also on the list were the names of Dudafa Waripamo-Owei, a former Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan; a cousin of former President Jonathan, Robert Azibaola; and an unnamed former PDP Financial Secretary.

In July 2017, the Attorney General of the Federation, Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN), said the Federal Government would publish the names of treasury looters intermittently after it must have met some conditions.

This was after a Federal High Court in Lagos gave a ruling compelling the Federal Government to “immediately release to Nigerians information about the names of high-ranking public officials from whom public funds were recovered and the circumstances under which funds were recovered, as well as the exact amount of funds recovered from each public official.”

The Federal Government, through The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, had on June 4, 2016, disclosed that it had recovered cash sums of N78,325,354,631.82, $185,119,584.61, £3,508,355.46 and €11,250, among others, between May 29, 2015, and May 25, 2016.

Twenty-two months after, the information minister released a list with six names.

The information minister said, “The PDP has challenged us to name the looters under their watch. They said they did not loot the treasury. Well, I am sure they know that the treasury was looted dry under their watch. Yet they decided to grandstand. This shows the hollowness of their apology to Nigerians.

“Let’s just give them a teaser with this list: PDP Chairman, Uche Secondus, (on the 19th of February, 2015, he took N200m only from the office of the then National Security Adviser); the then PDP Financial Secretary (on the 24th of October, 2014, he took N600m only from the office of the then NSA); the then National Publicity Secretary, Olisah Metuh, (on trial for collecting N1.4bn from the office of the then NSA.

“Dr. Raymond Dokpesi, Chairman of DAAR Communications, (on trial for taking N2.1bn from the office of the then NSA); former SSA to President Goodluck Jonathan, Dudafa Waripamo-Owei, (on trial over N830m kept in accounts of four different companies); former President Jonathan’s cousin, Robert Azibaola, (on Thursday, a Federal High Court ruled that he has a case to answer for collecting $40m from the office of the then NSA.)”

Mohammed, who stated that the list was just a tip of the iceberg, said, “We did not make these cases up. Many of these cases are in court and the records are available. Some of the people on this list are seeking plea bargain, and that is a fact.

“We insist that Nigeria was looted blind under the watch of the PDP, and that the starting point in tendering an apology is for them to return the loot."

So all the corruption fighting for 3 years and counting, which this administration has been firing from all cyclinders is only on 6 names, of which all is centred on Dansuki's (NSA) unproven court case?

Thought metuh is in court for N400m, lie mohammed alledged N1.4bn.

Where is dieziani and the alledged $90bn they said she stole?

It will never be well with Lie Mohammed for his brand of lies, it will never be well with APC for distracting & deceiving Nigerians that they are phighting kworruption. Shame on the offensive body odor of the grand master of deceit for running a super clueless GONMENT of fraud.

In a sane society, lai would be fired for pre empting the courts. But we live in a banana republic so he can say whatever he likes

So all the high to low profile fellas involved & indicted in over whelming corruption from the presidency to the least in the heiracy of the APC failed to make the list
Of course they're now heavenly saints.Lets me refresh Lai's memory:Buhari's certificate scandal/Dubious asset worths,Budget padders,Abba Kyari-MTN scandal,Buratai's Dubai's mansions/arms scandal,Danbazzua arms scandal(reason why Buhari disband the probing committee),
Amaechi/Fashola/Fayemi gates, Ikoyi/NIA gate,Mikanti Baru/NNPC gate,Maina's saga,NHIS sec.scandal,SEC sec.-Gwarzo scandal,Yusuf Buhari's #55M power bikes scandal,Unremitted NNPC monies etc.
So Lai can see that he have lied again?
Meanwhile were are the-http://thenationonlineng.net/corruption-55-people-stole-6-2bn-lai-mohammed/

even the 6 are still in court.

Firefire:

Say again let me feel you man.Jah,Jah fire burn all them APC babylon them ina the nation.Big up.

I love the way APC has turned Nigeria into a joke.

Just maybe people will be angry enough to stand their ground in ensuring they are not only voted out, but hounded for the destruction they have brought on the nation.

Why is my good friend chief omeka no longer active?

Lol,their target is to tarnish PDP image,but is not going to work.Like the Gov fayose said,all the looters are now in APC,hence what we have now is the new PDP. Once again i stand with PDP in 2019.

So Buhari was only able to catch six opposition looters. Great CHANGE!

Now they are washing their dirty linen in the open. Truth is they are all corrupt - all the politicians!

But Buhari’s government is undemocratic here. What happened to the presumption of innocence? You don’t release a list of corrupt officials when they are yet to be found guilty or even convicted.

At best you title it ‘aledged corrupt officials’, not looters list. Let he that is holy cast the first stone.

Until the average Nigeria breaks their shackles of ignorance, then we're still million miles away from reality. We all need to realize this is not about party politicking. Blame the ruling party all you want, it doesn't change the fact that these parties are simply formed for election purposes.
Until Nigerian politicians (both APC & PDP) and her people start to put our differences aside, work collaboratively, see the nation's problems as a collective one NOT, a party's own.... from an objective perspective rather, than a subjective one.

'Bi-partisanship' is what we need NOT, 'Party-politicking'

Nigeria as a nation is fvcked up, which is a known fact. Every ruling party is ONLY working to the tune of their selfish interests and to spite the opposition party. This happens at the detriment of the populace especially the once at the grass root.
The opposition party/watch-dogging has become a very dirty one which results in nothing but, a state of quagmire... again at the expense of the reeling poor masses. Politics in this part of the world is a mere game for the corrupt and educated elites.

Both APC and PDP are the enemies of Nigeria's progress.

God bless Nigeria... God punish all the Politicians !

Southerners are foolish, as usual it is only people from the south that loot money why didn't Apc put Lawal David Babachir even Dasuki

And the amount they even claimed was stolen is it enough to send Nigeria into recession as the lying bastards used to claim?
