NOTICE:
N900m Did Not Turn to Paper in EFCC's Custody
... The Real Story

The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has been drawn to several online reports alleging that about N900 million (Nine Hundred Million Naira) of mutilated naira notes,
being subject of prosecution at the Federal High Court, Ibadan, and kept in several boxes in EFCC's custody has turned to paper. The report is very mischievous and a gross misrepresentation of facts of the matter.
It is imperative to note that the case was reported to the EFCC by the CBN in 2015 and the parties involved are currently in court.

#PressRelease Ex-Gov Okorocha: Our Case - EFCC

The EFCC, wishes to state that operatives of its Enugu Zonal Office, on July 23, 2019 traced and marked some property traced to ex-Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha as well as those of his family members and cronies. #Thread
It was the outcome of painstaking investigation, and as a result of the failure of those to whom they were traced to, to honour the EFCC’s invitation for interrogation. Operatives neither “raided” nor “harassed” anyone in the course of the action.
They include: Dews of Hope Hospital traced to Dr. Paschal Obi, ex-Principal Secretary to Okorocha; Market Square Supermarket; All in One Shop, and premises belonging to Imo State Broadcasting Corporation now hosting Rochas Foundation College owned by Senator Okorocha.

#PressRelease Alleged N100bn Scam: Our Position- EFCC

The EFCC has noted a story in Punch Newspaper, Saturday, July 13, 2019, titled: "Osinbajo's firm linked to company fingered in alleged N100bn Alpha Beta scam". #Thread
While not denying the fact that petition was received on Alpha Beta by the EFCC, preliminary investigation showed that the petitioner did not substantiate the allegation contained in it.

For the records, Alpha Beta investigation is ongoing. We have nothing to hide.
As a matter of principles, the EFCC does not deal on hearsay, we act on facts and data.

The EFCC will not allow anybody to drag its name and reputation into the mud for ill-motive reasons.

Zamfara in the last 7 days, like the week before it, reveals how the Military and the armed groups are engaged in a cat and mouse game. Human life remains short and brutish, as about 100 people were abducted and over 30 killed in the past week alone.
The state still suffers at the hands of armed men, including areas that witnessed a lull, following Police & Military deployments. The military is not also smiling with many of the people they were deployed to save. So far they have accused hundreds of complicity in the killings.
On Friday, four people were kidnapped in Jangeme along Gusau Magami road. The following day, three persons were also killed and scores abducted on the road to Sabon Birni from Anka by another band of armed men in #Zamfara.

ZAMFARA STATE IN THE LAST 7 DAYS continues to bleed. Bloodletting not abetting, conditions have remained grave and dangerous. The sources of pain for the people remain formidable.
Abductions have aggravated. Terrorists and armed bandits are spreading cruelty and calamity unchecked and unperturbed. There are no signs that military forces and the government have any strategy to counter and neutralize the vendors of death and anguish in the land.
The people of #Zamfara are bleeding both in blood and in cash. The terrorists are daily making millions, milking an already constricted populace of resources and cash, enough to maintain a steady scaling up purchase of arms and ammunition.

Zamfara in the last 7 days recorded less bloodshed compared to the previous week, but the rate of abductions of persons remains the same. There's however, something to worry about: an emerging evidence of the presence of Ansaru in #Zamfara,
operating across the states in North West #Nigeria right into the border with Niger Republic. #Ansaru is a sect, a breakaway faction of #BokoHaram in 2012. The were responsible for the prison break in Abuja in 2012.
So far, several armed bandits and cattle rustlers are being proselytized into the fold of the Jihadis while erring armed bandits are systematically being taken out by the #Ansaru elements. The Northwest may likely be the new jihadi battle ground in #Nigeria like the Northeast.

Zamfara in the last 7 days:
One of the most brazen acts of insensitivity towards the citizenry by politicians was displayed in #Zamfara state on Sunday, 10, February, 2019 by President Muhammadu Buhari at a political rally ahead of the presidential election.
Muhammadu Buhari, a candidate of the ruling party, APC, and Commander in Chief of the Federal Republic of #Nigeria did not convey words of sympathy towards the citizens over the unceasing banditry and killings going on in the state for some years, at yesterday's rally in Gusau.
No acknowledgement, no condolences, no empathy for the millions of the people who have been marooned at their hour of greatest need by the government they elected. Many who showed up at the rally were angry, they expected president to assure them of a future that is safe.

#Zamfara is suffering from a sort of triple jeopardy. It is one of Nigeria's poorest states& since 1999 has been led by a procession of venal cads that have excelled only at manipulating religious sensibilities. See Ahmed Sani's bogus Sharia regime&Yari's sermon on meningitis.
It is geographically, literally&figuratively on the fringes of the national consciousness. Like most border states (such as Borno & Yobe) it is on the periphery of governmental attention. Borno&Yobe also had a long history of suffering cross-border banditry before Bolo Haram.
#Zamfara is also largely rural&as in other rural areas, there is scant presence of law enforcement assets. It has huge forested areas that have become ungoverned spaces. Remember the over 1000 lead poisoning deaths a few years ago due to the activities of illegal gold miners.
