Defending Femi Gbaja: How a Scam Accusation Backfired
A known fraudster has accused Femi Gbaja of wrongdoing, yet the available facts reveal that Gbaja was the one who exposed a criminal network. The accused denied knowing Gbaja, claimed to speak through a late friend’s phone and admitted running a fake organisation with government budget allocations and hundreds of staff. He has since fled rather than cooperate with security agencies. It takes little logic to see that a genuine whistle-blower would not sue a criminal syndicate leader for ₦10 billion. Gbaja reported the scam to the DSS, EFCC, ICPC and police over a year ago. Now the President has ordered a fresh ICPC probe with a 30-day deadline. With the allegations disproved and a formal investigation underway, Gbaja is set to be fully vindicated. The real culprit will face prosecution for fraud and the suspicious death of his accomplice.
