Why are all these people acquitted? ~Does it mean N6bn didn't get lost? ~Does it mean d plaintiff didn't do a diligent job? ~Is it difficult to proof corruption cases beyond reasonable doubt? ~Can't we put in place mechanism to make graft difficult in public office?

Watch out for the next campaign manager of Apc, your billions are needed somewhere

Just as expected...

Our justice institution are one of the major problem we have in this country. Imagine, N6bn fraud, acquitted just like that...

That means he can go home & sin no more...

The more you look, the less you see in Nigeria.

This is the reason why everyone wants to become a politician. Steal and getaway with it.

I pity those who steals millions instead of billions.

It makes sense. Why should the Judiciary waste it time to write a beautiful judgment justifying why the man should be jailed for pilfering public funds only for him to be pardoned by saint MBuhari and get the conviction erased from records for whoever ? 😅

Corruption is Fighting Back

He can now go and start planning how he's going to spend the remainder of the billions

Lmao

It is an impeachable offense to keep our children out of school for 7 months and contrary to section 18 of 1999 Constitution of Fed Rep of Nigeria as amended, which guarantees equal and adequate educational opportunities at all levels. ENO.

Victory for kwaruption. We know it always wins.

Anyone hoping otherwise definitely do not understand this government. It is only Maguire that tackles his team-mates...

Àgbà yahoo will always dey free nah!

Certainly it will come to this...... Naija 🔚

You didnt put discharged....what naija cannot do doesn't exist

That money do. Enter voice mail again Nigeria my country
