SUSPENSION OF MAGU; NEEDS TO RE-INVESTIGATE GANDUJE'S BRIBE

It is often said that in an unjust society, silence is a crime and all onlookers are cowards. The concept of probing as well as invitation for questioning are serving the same linguistics purposes. The only difference in the two terms is its politeness. 

On Monday, 6th of July, 2020, as read on news outlet, the arrest of the former acting chairman of EFCC, Ibrahim Magu. It is no longer a news, the allegations levied against the former EFCC boss which include: leakage of investigation reports (which is not clear to the populace who it was being leaked to), discrepancies in the reconciliation records of the EFCC and the Federal Ministry of Finance on recovered funds, rebooting of recovered loots, failure in providing evidences against some suspects (maybe Ganduje is inclusive) and/or in particular, Diezani Madueke, disregard for rule of law, allege corruption of #1trillion among others. 

Having reviewed the accumulated allegations against the former EFCC boss, it is evident that he (Ibrahim Magu) is a person of questionable character. Far back as 2017, a video of Abdullah Ganduje, the governor of Kano state was quite popular to early 2019. Between those years (2017-2019), Ganduje was alleged to have taken kickbacks  (bribe/ returns) from contractor(s). During this time, the former EFCC boss  (Magu) investigated Ganduje's bribery case where he failed to speak for or against Ganduje; even when questions were directed to Magu regarding Ganduje's bribery case, he parried it and changed the discourse. In 2018, Magu claimed to have visited London for forensic analysis of Ganduje's bribery video. Yet, the case was dismissed by one Justice Egwu atunwa on the basis that the provided evidence did not record the effect of EFCC forensic analysis.

In Magu's comment " you cannot investigate him (Ganduje) for two reasons. One, because he is a sitting governor. Two, it's subjudice". Meanwhile, sometimes before Ganduje's scandal, the sitting governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose was investigated by the same former EFCC boss. In order to clear the air, the weekly Law report of 2002 cited in volume7, the supreme Court states "...that a sitting governor can be investigated..." (Fawehinmi VS Inspector General of Police).

Conclusively, it is evident that the former EFCC boss has disregarded the rule of law and trampled upon democracy with his acts and dealings. He should not only be suspended as the acting chairman of the EFCC but also other suitable punishment should be mete out on him. However, Mr Ibrahim Magu has used his good office in disguise and perpetrated evil(s). It is equally worthy to note that Mr Ibrahim Magu did not made an adequate investigation on Ganduje's bribery case, hence, the needs to re-investigate the case unless it will trample on the presidential impunity.

As earlier stated, in an unjust society, silence is a crime and all onlookers are cowards.

Playboys and Lust - Abolarinwa Tayelolu  So i wont blame the play boys,they were once in love and with their heartfelt newest desires,their love, care and everything they wished to offer were splittered with thoughtless swords...i wonder what they had gone through,faking every moves,every motives of theirs, just to ensure that they upbeat how much they have suffered in regret after losing the real person that they loved..some of them chose the railing games,some of them go dirty just to impress and flow away their pains whilst some of them remained ever the same sensing the little regrets that they could not saunter, it was never their fault that they never right their wrongs,so they never bothered to love again...love is significantly correlative to pain..most times the loyalists suffer and will never explain why it failed... As a result of their first heartbreak,the tendency and push which they had for love are permanently suspended for many more years to come. I have to be caref...

TRUST: QIDAKINGIN’S POINT OF VIEW

-
Going by the Dictionary meaning of the word ‘Trust’, according to Wikitionary.org , Trust is defined as ‘’confidence in or reliance on some person or quality.’’ With this simple meaning of Trust, we can see that having trust in someone really means a lot. Firstly, because the trustee has both confidence and reliance on the trusted . Secondly, this should be also respected because it takes good respect along with honour and dignity for someone to have trust in another person. Once the trust has been betrayed, I tell you, for the average man, that is the end of it all. One cannot gain that credibility again due to the fact that no matter the amount of pleading from the person who has lost his or her credibility, he or she already has a dual-personality to that individual whose trust has been betrayed. He or she might find it hard to stand up for that person again or even believe the utterances of that individual. Trust doesn’t necessarily mean just the monetary aspect only bu...
