What about the remaining?

This is complete madness how on Earth can one person steal N109 billion, is he planning to use it to buy his way into heaven or what? And you have people hungry and homeless,hospitals empty with out equipment and drugs. Nigeria my country.....

Upon the whole money they stole, they still look like cockroach, No peace for the wicked

P

What is going to happen to him next ?

At the Black Market Dollar to Naira current exchange rate of 775, he managed to return 697,500,000 which is a laughable amount compared to the billions he stole. He stole 109 billion and did not even return up to 1 billion. This is very funny. MBuhari, well done. I hail you!

And nobody apprehended him 💔🥺😢🤦‍♂️😭

I’m ashamed to be linked to this lawless nation 🥺🤦‍♂️

APC .. na BAT turn

N585,000,000 out of N109,000,000,000? That's 0.5% only This is madness!

GOD GOD GOD GOD GOD WHAT TYPE OF COUNTRY IS THIS😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 people are suffering and one person stole this much, Biafra , oduduwa enugu, fight for referendum

Take a look at what yoruba people support to run a whole country government, fulani's government have finished Nigeria , we want Biafra for God sake

GOD, this people are very wicked and heartless , if you know what's better for you, support Biafra, let go our separate ways

Where is the remaining money his not suppose to be kept in prison rather executed so as to serve as a lesson to other if not the next person will go for a high amount. Na only God feet save Nigeria

God go punish you You supposed to be an example for Nigerians and the entire Muslim community in Nigeria. Is it what Al Qur'an though you?

PrinceLince Who be that yeye witness... Una dey play with us for this country oh

So out of N109b he didn't even return up to half of N1b

This is Very abnormal, for one person to steal 109 USbilion dollars in the federal government account , he deserves life in prison without any option of fine

Naa waa oo in a sinking country where there is no light, water ,good road,good medical facility,job, everything is NO ,yet some group keep dominating and suppressing other. This injustice is too much.

I love Sahara Reporters but please it helps the reporting to state the equivalent in Naira if the $ is part of the Naira loot. Thank you.

😂🤣🤣🤣 zoological republic of criminals

And they keep saying Nigeria is broke🙁 I reserve my comments

Like seriously

Jesus 😭

Fulani through buhari have really dealt a serious blow to all Nigerians! Just imagine what a single individual stole from a countries coffa and yet still moving freely

Primitiveness in suit and tie. Other variants include: Agbada, Sokoto, Kaki and Safari; spread around the privileged class of ruinous pricks found within the geographic space called Nigeria.

He stole naira and returned it in Dollars. I thought TSA was supposed to be the “cement” that would seal all the lootings and theft we used to hear about Government officials. Looting post-TSA has maybe surpassed looting pre-TSA. The more you look, the less you see.✊

And this man is still walking freely enjoying his stolen money. The EFCC is busy parading young boys for having laptops and wearing dreadlocks. What a country. If we miss PeterObi, Nigeria will never ever recover from it.

Is a shame and this man is walking freely, a country that pick and choose who to arrest and disgrace and who not to.

What happened to death by hanging ?

What happened to the remaining money?

Nigeria is a rich country. Vote wisely.

Heartless BANDIT

Criminal

Nothig will happen. He didn't steal alone.

What is update about osibanjo daughter that arrested in uk.. we Nigerians ear are totally open to hear or to know more details about the case

Where is the money? To whom did he return it to? Any valid proof of return? Stolen in Naira, returned in dollars, what happened? Was the testimony of the witness confirmed? Let it not be that the returned money will be diverted for election funds?

Stole 900billion and returned not even up to a billion and we should celebrate him🤡🤡🤡

The kind balls wey you go get to return just $900,000 out 109billion naira, as in....

Yet, he is on 'suspension'. What offence would a person commit under APC government to get dismissed from service?

The main problem Nigeria face is this where is the remaining money?

😂😂. Funny thing is he is still owing the N109 billion cos $900k no reach N1 billion 🤣

It is bad enough that politicians and civil servants steal from the public till. However, the sheer volume of their thievery is mind boggling.Nigerians are indeed wicked yet profess to be the most religious people on earth. Shame!

That’s 398.874 million naira out of 109 billion 🤦🏾‍♂️ what the fvck is that supposed to me.

God

Is Buhari aware of this his guy actions? So, what's next, is he returning the rest, and when?

This is what Fulani government are only good at looting of treasury.

EFCC should press his neck & those of his merry men very well, they would cough out the rest of the looted funds.

Disgraceful

officialEFCC is biased

This is the man that should be in jail and not Nnamdi Kanu 👌😅

How can a single soul steal such amount of money? Madness!

Some stealing should carry de*th sentence

Stole in Naira, Paid back in Dollars...

The Fulanis are superior to any other ethnic group in Nigeria this: In roguery,Haram,pride and arrogance,lawlessness, bigotry,clannishness, selfishness and unforgiven spirit.They want to be everywhere to displace everybody.

🤣🤣🤣🤣wetin person no go hear and see from these fulani and northerners. Chai Nigeria don suffer. He brought how much from how much? Some people go even say he don try chai what is this 🤔 what a mess!!!

Thunder go still fire am

One man stole 190b. Lord have mercy, greed taken too far

And these are the same set of people that will lead us if Tinubu wins the next election. Same Ganduje, Umahi, Fashola and Co. SAME SET OF PEOPLE. Please let’s vote wisely.

FakeNews Need another source for verification..

Ògbólógbòó olè

Only one person

With all the huge salaries and privileges that he enjoys

tell us how much in naira!!

Cash! Cash!

Oh lord..naija

How buhari made his fulani people millionaires overnight 🤷

Just one person o and I'm sure there's more to come

Ah is he walking freely

And you are still shouting of elections when a tribe out of about 250 tribes are stealing billions that belongs to everyone everyday. Yoruba nation now Biafra people prepare for your nation. Enough is enough.

Jesu! No wonder he coerced ASUU to enroll on IPPIS

Under Mr. Integrity watch. Scam ni Buhari govt 🤮🤮🤮

A vermin of a human and what kinda justice system facilitates restitution without incarceration- you know we muddled with conniving despicable leaders.

No one stills better than northerners but they stay low key and point fingers at southern flamboyant small thieves

He is not alone in this game. It's a cartel. We just need a new, better govt

Where is Mr Integrity?

900,000 not even up to 1 b

If he could return $900k cash, imagine how much he has stashed in different houses in Nigeria. Corruption became the norm under APC.

Nigeria is really crying for help

Out of 109b u are returning 700m naira .are u OK ?

It's not up to half a billion?

Naija my country

109 billion is less than what River state received since 1999 as 13% old derivatives(83 billion), that’s what Wike used to build 12 fly overs and a law school. Just a comparison So you guys understand what’s going on here

Omo now I see why sowore says he can pay students 100k per semester! Nigeria get money but na private pocket e dey enter.

I wonder the corruption MBuhari has been fighting... Mr integrity ko, Mr integrity ni🙄🙄

Who do we want blame? The guy can't do what he did alone.

Bloody criminal Normally, this man is supposed to be in jail for life 😡

He will b free or purportedly pronounced jail but will b residing in his opulent home just like Maina. All he need to do is sort out his regionally biased kinsmen AGF Malami, and the case became empty noise. Alternatively declare support to BH, fulani herdsmen killers and b free.

So if the account general wasn't suspend this one wouldn't have been returned. It's alright, now what's his punishment for such act at least to serve as an example to others yet to be leashed

I wonder who was President when all these looting was going on and what?They said APC is canvassing for votes again?To do what?Aid more looting and killings?Vote wisely guys.Don’t say you were not forewarned this time around.

Jesus wept, na for Nigeria condition.

Thief.... criminals. Una cup don full. Look at his ugly face.

People of God 🙄🙄🙄 kukuma return the remaining cash

Has he agreed he's a thief?

To tell you how disturbing this is, a man (public servant) placed on a capped salary returned upwards of N400m he stole from public funds he was meant to oversee. If this doesn't elicit outrage & top concern, I dunno what should!

I don't understand! God abeg

Not even up to a billion, Una done really see us finish sha

Actors like this are largely responsible for the slide in the value of the Naira. Convert stolen money into dollars and hoard it. It's not available for fx needs.

If the federal Govt can recover above a billion Naira from embattle ex-AG-F Idris. This mean Sowore is right about Money can be recovered from the looters to service the nation needs.🤔

And you say you wan go war front for Nigerian matter?..Lol...you better relocate and die for a better country

So where's the rest?have his properties seized...

Yet suffer head mo-rons are asking sowore where he will get money to pay students grants .. wooo una never see suffer

That is serious, very soon he would be free to enjoy the remaining money, someone they suppose to hang openly, if a poor person steal a goat in the north, accordingly to sharia law, his hand would be amputated. Why not apply sharia law to this man and cut off his head.
