7 Buhari-Era Heavyweights Now on Tinubu’s Corruption Hotseat
The Tinubu administration has charged these former public officers for alleged misappropriation of funds under the Buhari government: 1. Ahmed Idris, former Accountant-General: accused of diverting ₦109.5 billion. 2. Saleh Mamman, ex-Minister of Power: convicted over the diversion of ₦33.8 billion. 3. Abubakar Malami, ex-Attorney-General: forfeited 48 properties valued at ₦212 billion. 4. Malami also faces a 16-count conspiracy and money laundering indictment involving ₦8.7 billion alongside family members. 5. Among the seized assets was a mosque in Kebbi built with proceeds of illicit wealth. 6. Godwin Emefiele, former CBN Governor: indicted for diverting ₦154.39 billion. 7. Emefiele also forfeited 753 housing units to the federal government. I worry that such large-scale graft across different sectors highlights deep flaws in our justice system. We must strengthen penalties and overhaul judicial processes to deter grand corruption and safeguard public resources.
