Please is there no EFCC in Kano state?
Is this because PDP won the Zamfara elections?

The ignorance in Nigeria is alarming, imagine EFCC has convinced SUSPECTS to hold placards showing OFFENCES that has not been proven in a COURT of LAW.

The problem is not even the EFCC doing this, the problem is the people they victimize not knowing it is wrong and the public (who would be future victims) ignoring it. In a sane country if you present someone as guilty before a court case your case will be trashed out because of bias.

If you have read of the "trail of the century" between the state and OJ Simpsons, the state lost the case just because the police men who arrived the crime scene were racists and there were taped conversation of them using racial slurs how much more if you represented a suspect as guilty when the person has not been declared guilty in a competent court of law? You should have no case because the defence will argue that you have prejudice towards the suspect and probably manipulated the evidence.

We need to know our rights in this country, these people will never be seen as innocent in public ever again even if they are proven innocent in a court of law, this is a social media trial filled with prejudice just to show that "EFCC is working".

Haba, This Case Is Obvious na. If They Actually Diverted The Fund Meant For Inec Workers And Adhoc Workers, It Serves Them Right. If Their Innocence Are Proven By The Court, The Can Sue EFcc And Demand For Dedicated Frontpage Newspaper Appologies. Corruption Need To Be Disgraced In Nigeria.

Charge is not equal to offense.

Offense is proven, charges are yet to be proven.

At the real poll PDP was never the winner. PDP is ruling there because a supreme court judgement declared that APC failed to conduct valued primary acceptable by the law. Even that declaration came after the gubernatorial election results have been declared.
So, Why would somebody in his/her sense links this clear case of criminality to politics? Or didn't you read their arrest is because they short change some people of their hard earned money? Yet idiot like you will chose to bring in politics.
