 Kebbi Police Officer Rejects ₦1.6m Bribe from Banditry Suspects A police officer with the Kebbi State Command's State Criminal Investigation Department (SCIB) has turned down a ₦1.6 million bribe intended to compromise an ongoing banditry investigation. Kebbi Police Commissioner, Bello Sani, disclosed that Umar Garba from Dangandu village, Abubakar Alhaji from Maimaichi village, and Usman Muhammed from Bakaramba village conspired to offer the bribe in an attempt to influence the investigation. The bribery attempt occurred at the police command and led to the arrest of the suspects. They are set to face charges for trying to obstruct justice in connection with alleged crimes committed by the Lakurawa group in the northern part of the state. Commissioner Sani praised the officers for their integrity and reiterated the command’s commitment to cracking down on bandits and their accomplices.

 EFCC Has No Business with Edo Election Witness that has no Corruption Issue

 

The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to a trending video insinuating  that Mr. Jonathan Okunbor,  a suspect being investigated for an alleged N6billion fraud, was an election witness.  


The Commission wishes to state without any equivocation that Okunbor is not a witness of the Peoples  Democratic Party, PDP, in the election tribunal as claimed by Mr. Asue Ighodalo.  Rather,  he is a prime suspect connected to a case of misappropriation of funds involving all the 18 local government areas of Edo State.

 Ongoing investigations showed that about N6billion was diverted to Kezmith Global Ventures owned by Ogunbor. The suspect was running the ventures using the name and identity of Mr. Godfrey Emode. 


The Commission’s investigators,  in their quest to unearth the shadiness of Ogunbor, arrested Emode who led them to the suspect in Eterno Hotel where a pre-trial meeting was being held.


 Investigators interrogated  the counsel to Ighodalo  on the status of Ogunbor in the election tribunal matters and he clearly stated that he was not a witness in the matter.   


In spite of this,  Mr. Ighodalo and his co-travellers at Eterno Hotel prevented EFCC officers from carrying out their constitutional duty and obstructed them from arresting Ogunbor. Specifically, Ighodalo insisted that Ogunbor was his witness when it was obvious that he only wanted to aid his escape from the Commission’s investigators.


The EFCC remains committed to its adherence to the rule of law and the Commission has no business with any Edo State election witness that has no corruption charge before it.  The EFCC will not hesitate to bring anyone to trial, witness or no witness, if it has a basis for doing so.


 The public is assured  that  Ogunbor will be brought to book soon in connection with the alleged N6billion  fraud involving his firm,  Kezmith Global Ventures.
