Omokri’s Petition On Tinubu Breaks Record, 10,000 People Sign Petition In A Day by celinajumbo11(f): 2:22pm On Aug 21, 2020 |
The petition urging the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to investigate a former Governor of Lagos, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has reached 10,000 signatures in just one day. This is a record, as no political petition on Nigeria has reached such numbers in so short a period of time. The petition is specifically calling on the EFCC to investigate Bola Tinubu for contravening the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act of 2011, by having bullion vans ferry alleged large sums of money into his house on the eve of the 2019 Presidential election. It will be recalled that on the eve of the 2019 Presidential elections, drone imagery showed bullion vans ferrying suspected monies into Mr. Tinubu’s Bourdilon residence. The next day, in an interview with Channel Television’s Seun Okinbaloye, Mr. Tinubu was asked “the allegations are that those bullion vans carry money or ballots”, before he could finish asking his question, Mr. Tinubu interjected and said “Is it my money or government money? I don’t work for government...even if I have money to spend in my premises, what’s your headache?” However, the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011 (and the amendment to the Act in 2012) makes it a crime for any individual to accept or make any cash payment that exceeds ₦5 million. Yet, 18 months after this incident, Mr. Tinubu has not been investigated by the EFCC, which has tried others for lesser malfeasances. The petition started by Reno Omokri, a bestselling author and activist, seeks to compel the EFCC to fulfil its constitutional responsibilities. By virtue of the Economic and Financial Crimes commision Establishment act (2004), the law mandates the EFCC to combat financial and economic crimes. The Commission is empowered to prevent, investigate, prosecute and penalise economic and financial crimes and is charged with the responsibility of enforcing the provisions of other laws and regulations relating to economic and financial crimes.

Mumu omokirikiri How exactly did he know the contents of the Bullion van The Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011 (and the amendment to the Act in 2012) makes it a crime for any individual to accept or make any cash payment that exceeds ₦5 million. Personal cash withdrawal isn't Cash Payment Mumu omokirikiri thinks the scenario is like EFCC officers: knock knock Budillion Gateman open up the gate Gate man, DSS and Police details: welcome Mr EFCC EFCC officers: Mumu Omokirikiri gave us a petition that a Bullion van drove into Budillion drive Ikoyi and entered your residence on the eve of a Presidential election Gate man, DSS and Police details: so Mr EFCC and mumu omokirikiri what is the offense, are bullion vans unlawful ? Atleast mere Private fueling stations, hotels, WAEC, NECO all use Bullion security vans, and can you show us any evidence money was in the van or if any cash exceeding 5million was in the van as at that time they hate to see Omo Odua , Omoluabi shine . 471 Likes 41 Shares

Anti Money Laundeering /Countering Financial Terrorism (AML /CFT) act 2011 does not make accepting or making cash deposit of N5million for individuals or N10million for a corporate body a crime. It only mandates the bank to report any such transaction to Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit as a suspiscious transaction. Banks and other non bank financial institution render this returns weekly so chances are these bullion transaction has been reported and investigated already. Signing a petition is as important as having the right basis for the petition. A N100k transaction can be reported if in the eyes of the bank, it is an unusual transaction just like a N100mil transaction wont raise any red flags if the account is used to such huge amounts. 278 Likes 14 Shares |

The Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011 makes it a crime to transact cash transactions above 5 million Naira. It is on this basis that Atiku’s son in law is being tried. It does not matter how you get the money. Once the cash is above 5 million, it can only be transacted through a bank. If it is transacted in cash, it becomes a crime 54 Likes 3 Shares |

Let me quote from the link you provided: The Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011 makes it ILLEGAL for any individual to accept or make any cash payment that exceeds N5m (Five Million Naira). This means that every cash transaction over N5m must be done via a financial institution. Perhaps you did not read your own link. I know Bola Tinubu is paying you. But love Nigeria enough not to allow alleged criminals determine your future. techmo: 140 Likes 9 Shares |

rescuenaija: Now I get your problem clearly It's simply English Cash Payment , cash transaction VS Cash Withdrawal Cash Payment ; A cash payment is bills or coins paid by the recipient of goods or services to the provider. It can also involve a payment within a business to employees in compensation for their hours worked, or to repay them for minor expenditures that are too small to be routed through the accounts payable system What this means is Tinubu can't buy products and services or make payment exceeding 5 million without notifying financial authorities When ? where ? And how ? did Tinubu make a " cash payment" exceeding 5 million.. payment to who ? for what ? any evidence to back such claims . 260 Likes 15 Shares

Simple English: A cash payment is any payment in cash, for goods and services. By ferrying in money into his compound on the eve of the Presidential elections, what was Tinubu doing?
