Lamorde was however absent as Chairman of the Committee read a letter where the EFCC boss pleaded for enough time to respond to the issues raised by the petition.

It's quit obvious this Lamorde man has something he's hiding. Everything will soon be exposed.
ReplyDeleteLamorde should show, no hiding behind legal practitioners.
ReplyDeleteShow for what? Because of a petition from a credit card scammer that Saraki want to use to kill the tempo on investigation of money laundry on him and his wife. Petition that never followed due process in the senate floor, that Bukola Saraki hurriedly set up. That is what we get when people like Saraki become Senate president and scheming to become Nigeria's President come 2019. Rubbish!!!
DeleteB/4 Now it was Abacha, Nyako, Lamido, Now Lamorde. All the thiefs ar comming from de north No Wonder they have enough money to sponsor Boko Boys ....God will expose them 1by 1
DeleteThief Saraki's wife was summoned by EFCC to answer corruption allegations against her, therefore it's Saraki's turn to invite the EFCC chief. Saraki and his thiefing kingdom, may satan strike you in the face.
ReplyDeleteEither it is Saraki that sponsor the petition or not. EFCC chief should show up. requesting for enough time is understandable but it shows that he has no record record or proper record for the remittance of the money.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't take time to get the record in a data base. Just a click on print command
The evidence should be clear.
ReplyDeleteEFCC,the big thief that thieves the thief.
