Recently, Mr. Mohammed Dele Belgore, SAN, and my humble self, were invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to its Lagos Office for questioning on N450million campaign fund during the 2015 Presidential elections. Of course, we were in the EFCC’s custody for a few days and today, by the grace of God, we were granted bail on self-recognisance. It is however apt to put the record straight and situate the development within the context of the politics currently playing t under the present administration. I wish to state unequivocally that this didn’t come to me as a surprise. It is a continuation of politics by other means, and that has nothing to do with the source of election funds that emanated from the presidential campaign office. The question is; what has EFCC got to do with donations voluntarily made by oil marketers to Jonathan government? The commission, in a bid to implicate us and set the general public against us, was busy struggling and frantically searching for better word to use. The whole charade is an abuse of prosecutorial power .

“There should be a synergy of government agencies in Port Harcourt, particularly the South-south zone so that we can find a lasting solution to the issue of oil theft, and tackle the issue of vandalism,” he said. On his part, the Zonal Head, Ishaq Salihu, appreciated the Brigade Commander for his kind words, and promises. “Your presence will go a long way in not only solidifying an already existing relationship between the EFCC and the Nigerian Army, but will go a long way in the joint fight against oil theft/bunkering,” he said.
