Kudos to the judiciary

They should investigate properly first. What is they believe it is part of the money shared by Deziani?

Revenge mission

What about Iwu's boss?

officialEFCC is a very sensitive National Institution. There should therefore be zero tolerance for any kind of “Passing Off” or simulation of the official EFCC Handle There is need to stop this👇🏼. It is intended to misinform the public & discredit officialEFCC.

Iwu does not need a lawyer. All he needs is to join APC and he might even be made a minister.

Worse INEC boss ever

Does his detention has to do with the election he conducted in 2007 when he awarded the victory to Yar'adua against Mr Buhari. We are glad and gives it us confidence that the new INEC BOSS Mahmood Yakubu will be made to answer to the fraud committed in the last elections too .

Maurice Iwu chai... corrupt leaders in every sphere of the system.

That means Yakubu Mahmud should await his time.

Yakubu wait for your time. Your own case is even a landslide. The only man that is capable of swallowing servers. 😅😜

Ok... What about Mahmood? Leave Jega for now but Mahmood nko. The guy helped twist the will of the people

But if it was just a normal person the same court would order thier remand in prison Lol as long as your rich and influential in this country even the laws will be adjusted for you just to make you comfortable 🤔🤔🤔

Yakubu should get ready.. immediately after the supreme court verdict on presidential election tribunal.
