News Review-N27bn pension thief arrested after public outcry


When I read this in the Punch Newspaper, I opened my mouth and whispered the sentence in surprise. Two years in prison or a N750 000 fine for a N27bn fraud. Puurrrlease! Spare me! This is when an American teenager says 'shut up' out of disbelief (like Georgina the queen bee in Mean girls 1 when she couldn’t believe that home-schooled Cady-Lindsay Lohan had never been to a real school). 

(I am not sure if it is N27bn or N32bn, different figures from different sources.)

Anyway, I wonder how the judgement was passed because sincerely I am confused here. Call it plea bargaining, Nigerians want justice! The question is: how does the sentence match the offence? The law is meant to aid justice, not abet corruption. That sentence only encourages corruption. If one could pay N750 000 for a N27bn crime, then crime is a profitable business.  You tell him it is two years in prison or a N750 000 fine, how do they even match for such a crime? The most ignorant person on earth would choose the latter; no one wants to spend a night in behind bars. Some are asking for Justice Mohammed Talba to be probed-sensible and expected. 

If the public outcry could make the EFCC re-arrest Mr John Yakubu Yusuf, the Deputy Director in the Police Pension Office; then Nigerians please‘cry’ more, if it will bring order to the country. Thank you EFCC for listening to us.
Lastly, I agree with the Executive Director of the Civil Society Legislative and Advocacy Centre, Mallam Awual Musa as he advised  the judiciary to begin to redeem its image.

  4. Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?

    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work due to no
    back up. Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?

  5. Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole
    my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so
    she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she
    has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
