Nigeria Corruption Statistics

Hamzat Lawal says the NFIU policy as a development in governance is an opportunity for the 9th National Assembly to make a historic mark in Nigeria’s democracy by passing the law that enhances local government autonomy.

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Benin zonal office on Saturday, May 4, arrested 13 suspected internet fraudsters during an early morning raid at Uromi, Edo state.

The organisation known as Justice Frontier Forum insisted that the law did not limit the powers of any sitting governor or outgoing governor from paying the severance package to himself and that of his appointees.

In the course of executing the search warrants, items which included laptop computers, 25 five exotic cars, which include several brands of Mercedez-Benz, Lexus, Toyota and expensive mobile phones, were recovered.

Nigerians reacted to the judgement of former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Walter Onnoghen who was found guilty of all the charges leveled against him.

Mr. Ezenwa Nwagwu, co-convener, Say No Campaign, made the accusation at a round-table discussion on Redefining the Fight Against Corruption in Relation to the Office of the AGF on Tuesday, April 16 in Abuja.
