The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned Joel Madaki and Felix Bilishan Tagwame, before Justice A.M. Anka of the Federal High Court, Yola, Adamawa State, on four counts bordering on conspiracy, misappropriation and diversion of funds.

Investigation into the $115million fraud involving Diezani Alison-Madueke, a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, was linked to them. It was further revealed that the said funds were exchanged to an equivalent of N23, 299,705,000 and was used for the 2015 presidential election.

Substantial amount of the funds, investigations showed, were shared to some staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) across the nation by Fidelity Bank on behalf of Madueke.


The accused persons pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The prosecution counsel, A.M. Labaran asked for a date for trial to commence and urged the court to remand them in prison custody. But the defence counsel, A.T. Shehu, moved applications for bail
which was opposed by the prosecution.

Justice Anka, after listening to the various arguments, granted them bail in the sum of N200million and surety in like sum.

The matter has been adjourned to February 5, 2019 for trial.

The EFCC will on December 10 arraign the President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Mr. Paul Usoro (SAN) at the Federal High Court, Lagos, over alleged N1.4billion fraud.

He will be arraigned before Justice Muslim Hassan.
The anti-graft agency claims that Usoro converted and laundered the money in connivance with Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State.

However, the governor was not listed as a defendant in the charge, as the EFCC indicated that he is “currently constitutionally immuned against criminal prosecution.”

Also mentioned in the body of the charges are one Nsikan Nkan, described as Commissioner for Finance, Akwa Ibom State; Mfon Udomah, described as the Accountant General of Akwa Ibom State; Uwemedimo Nwoko, the Akwa Ibom State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice and Margaret Ukpe, all of whom were said to be at large.

The anti-graft agency claimed that the N1.4billion allegedly converted and laundered by the defendants belonged to the Akwa Ibom State government.

And this amount is still less than one tenth of the money this thief called Diezani stole herself.

This thief and criminal left the country since PMB won the Presidential election back in 2015 and she has never set her foot on her mother's land since then.

Only the guilty are afraid.
She stole money that will make her even richer than the Richest woman in Africa and beyond.

In a sane society, She, Jonathan and all other 40 thieves that raped and ransacked this country will be in prison for the longest time.

But as long as God lives, no evil and corrupt politicians will ever go scot free from what they did to this nation, no matter the party they are, either APC or PDP or any other party.
Painful end await them all.

Diezani, you can never ever escape punishment, dire punishment for all the actrocities you commited before running away!

Oh boy

You start history of corruption in Nigeria from where it suits your politics, your politics of having an 80 years old man being president of Nigeria in 2023.

Selective fight against corruption to silence opposition politicians.

You hide your kinsmen who ruled Nigeria since the 1960s and robbed the county dry till 1999, rulers who didn't know that aging social infrastructures for Electricity, water supply and transport systems needed replacement.

Replacements of outdated infrastructures only started in 1999 by those President Buhari has been hounding as criminals through EFCC.

What of Maina, Ganduje Lawal, etc. Nigeria has never been this divided

I can see your PDP candiadate

What's the difference between APC and PDP?

What's in a name?

Nearly every APC member was in PDP, and vice versa.

I am not a member of any political party.

If you do not have a PVC, that will be BAD.
If you do, vote for the candidate of your choice, and leave me with mine.
Okay?!

Suddenly her name comes alive and a cool campaign tool.

You can’t touch her as you can’t provide concrete evidence to a real court

EFCC should just bring her for trial and stop all this noise making.

Another beautiful distraction
