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.

RE-Can an insecticide kill the police? Maybe not but AG Mohammed D Abubakar can...

D Truth Uncensored: Can an insecticide kill the police?:Just like insects crawling on my beautiful skin so are the policemen in my area to me. As early as 6am, they line the mini-express looking serious with their guns, torches and batons, summoning vehicles especially bikes n kekes to a halt (for security check, pschewww, you wish) for breakfast o jare...and I can bet pounds to a doughnut that if the Boko haramists pass with a bus loaded with explosives, the policemen would collect their daily egunje and let them pass...God forbid bad thing.

Can an insecticide kill the police?

Just like insects crawling on my beautiful skin so are the policemen in my area to me.

As early as 6am, they line the mini-express looking serious with their guns, torches and batons, summoning vehicles especially bikes n kekes to a halt (for security check, pschewww, you wish) for breakfast o jare...and I can bet pounds to a doughnut that if the Boko haramists pass with a bus loaded with explosives, the policemen would collect their daily egunje and let them pass...God forbid bad thing.

The most shameful of all, is that they extort money from these commercial transporters without shame, acting as though it is their birthright. And permit me to say, 'who born that driver wey go do actor say im no go pay?'. My o my! I don't think he would be in good shape to tell the story.

Also annoying is the fact that they have three check points along our inner express road and each group collects their own. One passenger was so angry that he shouted 'una no get union?'. Funny also is the fact that once they have collected their money (most times N50), they would give the driver a number, so that each time he drives pass and they stop him he would mention the number to show he had  already settled. Note that the number expires in the evening, after which a fresh roster is taken.

Words cannot express my disgust at the shamelessness and heartlessness shown by those who ought to be on the look out for the masses. I know there are good ones out there who have integrity but where are they? The only thing I can do for now is pray for our country Nigeria, because if u eat a little bit of liver and challenge them...no be me send u o. 

Since I don't have the liver yet, anytime I pass by I wish there were insects and I had an insecticide spray...
