The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Alhaji Sule Lamido, a former governor of Jigawa State for money laundering.
The governor’s two sons, Mustapha and Aminu were arrested in Abuja.
Here's what a source told Punch: “The former Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, and his two sons, Mustapha and Aminu, were arrested this morning by operatives of the commission. They were actually arrested very early this morning, they were with us for hours before they were flown to Kano for possible arraignment on Wednesday (today).They left Abuja Airport around2.30pm. It is most likely that they would be arraigned tomorrow (Wednesday), that I can tell you.”
According to Punch reportage, EFCC had arrested the two sons of the governor in November 2015, over alleged misappropriation of billions of naira belonging to the Jigawa State Government.
Confirming the arrest of the former governor on Wednesday, Wilson Uwujaren, the head of media and publicity of the EFCC said:
“I can confirm to you that the former Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido and his two sons are with the commission.”

May justice prevail!!
DeleteGood....
ReplyDeleteAnd I wonder why Tinubu is still walking freely...
Abi, Ndi ori.
DeleteI just hope that EFCC did their homework well. So the case will not collapse in the courts as usual.
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of sounding pessimistic, I must say that it's going to be business as usual. The prosecution is full of theatrics, they file up charges to excite the gullible masses who are not part of the intricately woven plot of deception. They raise our expectations like Super Eagles and smash them into smithereens. The prosecution will soon start backpedalling and the case will be thrown out for lack of diligent prosecution. Then they jump unto another case and the cycle spirals on. In times like this, I miss being a Jehovah Witness member for the firm belief that man's government cannot gratify our expectations.
DeleteWell spoken. I may have to visit Jehovah Witness doctrine soon as I'm getting so despondent. I think I viewed Buhari as a messiah but frankly he's just a huge dissapointment
DeleteAnon it's too early to give up on the old man,i think he's trying his best,hes trying to establish a good base before he gets the building lifted,(if u can relate it to dis illustration).i believe he will deliver,the only fear still remains many pple's oxes will be gored' cos d general is fearless.
Delete@ake,i missed u oo.u seem to avoid d blog much since u got a wife,crush or what will I call her dat declared love for u.see u see wife u run oo.lol!
For real,dose EFCC pple are equally corrupt.all they do inbetween raising the hopes of d public and crashing it is to collect their own share of d loot and free d case.but then will u even blame them?whether dey insist or not,one big Oga from somewhere will use his influence and scatter d case even while in court.we live in a lawless society that even the judiciary stink of corruption.d whole system being upside down is d cause of all dese.
November 2015. EFCC is using time machine o, they travelled forward in time to make the arrest. All this na for show cause i know the case will be throwned out of court as usual.
ReplyDeleteAll hail EFCC... Plz don't 4get Emmanuel Uduaghan, that man is a chronic armed robber. He took after his cousin Ibori, runs in the family u know. #alinko
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they're probably sipping some tea at the commission.
ReplyDeleteWaiting to hear the concluding part because this drill is not new
ReplyDeleteThe system will surely work
ReplyDeleteEFCC should always have convincing evidence before arresting people. If not the court will set him for lack of evidence.
ReplyDeleteOh well, let the law do their job
ReplyDeleteThey will arrest and still not prosecute. Smh...thief small, them no go gree
ReplyDeleteHope our judiciary system will leave up to expectations
ReplyDeleteOk and as usual, they won't get the money back neither will they be found guilty. No be Naija? *Yinmu*
ReplyDeleteIf they stole, they should refund the money. Thieves everywhere
ReplyDeleteThey were cunningly arrested yesterday when they came on invitation 2 d commission not as if they went 2 their hse 2 arrest them. And they are still in Abuja , they are yet 2 be moved 2 Kano for possible arraignment as the commission didnt get a flight 2 move them yesterday 2 Kano
ReplyDeleteLol.... Explanasion'
DeleteThey'll still release them anyway. Yero & Yuguda up next.
ReplyDeleteOwo palaba won ti segi
ReplyDeleteNot only Ibori will go to jail
ReplyDeleteOthers are coming
Yinmu!
ReplyDeleteEfcc make sure you punish them not only arrest
ReplyDeleteWe've been hearing arrest but we've not heard persecution.the next news will be they av bin released.
ReplyDeleteIf EFCC is sure they have a strong case against them they should atleast get a conviction this time around. I am starting to think that EFCC delibetately throws some of this cases and only bring their A game when it involves small fries. Just look at what happened in Tanzania of all places o; I am looking forward to the day we have something similar here.
ReplyDeleteThey should forget arrest and collect the stolen funds back abeg
ReplyDelete*scratches head* wots d function of EFCC again? Someone shud pls remind me cos I have nt seen any politHIEViAN they arrested,tried n effected refund of looted funds.
ReplyDeleteAbeg na to collect the money,we don't need arrest
