Is the position of the head of the EFCC an exclusive reserve of the Northern Muslims, are they the only ones suitable to fight corruption or is there an agenda to it?

"What happened to the Ayo Salami recommendations on EFCC ? Magu has not being prosecuted, infact his boy who may be an accomplice still heads EFCC.
The fight against corruption by the Buhari government is all a ruse."

Bawa was in charge of the Port Harcourt Zonal office when he personally auctioned off dozens of petrol-bearing trucks that were confiscated from suspected looters. Junior officers reported him and he was detained for several days in PH.

FOOL Buhari you're nominating an individual as EFCC that was being investigated for internal fraud, collusion and conflict of interest. What sort of national sabotage is this? How can you claim you're fighting corruption when you compromise the institutions yourself?

No civilized & computerized society will tolerate this barbaric / crude method of operation of invading peoples privacy to arrest them as suspected internet fraudsters without a report of victimization against them by any one as a victim. Call EFCC to ORDER NOW. Retweet widely.
