In an advance country like china, they hang people like this… only one person stole 80B… Northern leaders are just packing our money

And what about all the money u have been recovering for long, were have it been? Hw much? What have u people b doing Whit it?

All of them thieves

Shame to our so call leader Just imagine evil act, you steal what you can't eat

Accountant general be like Bawa papa..

Prosecute him now now

Same old story... They are all connected.

Target of every Nigerian public office holders is noting but to enrich his stomach as opportunity & damn the shame & the consequences. One Nigeria is a special designed suppression against the indigenous ppl of BIAFRA not to exist as a free ppl bcos of their envy & jealousy.

Another fulani criminal who is not qualified to be in that position in the first place. His name is Ahmed Idris a fulani man stolen N80billlion from Nigeria public funds. what a failed country is this.

Fulani controlled NigeriaGov magic. Meanwhile where is the former SSG to late MBuhari's government? The Grasscutter himself, he is busy gallivanting all over the place with Bola Tinubu so that we hwould be able to cut grass once again. Deceivers!

He should be made to list his accomplices. I'm sure there are other cabals that are sharing the stolen funds with him. Our leader have destroyed this country, nothing is remaining again.

The needful shall be done to if he is found guilty, we don't support thief

Is Nigeria not a fraud? it seems all the public office holders have nothing in their brain than STEALING! if Accountant General of a Federation (a man that ought to be responsible in ACCOUNTABILITY) can STEAL to the turn of N80 BILLION who else can you trust in the govt. SHAME!!

Buhari will order for his release.

That's serious

What’s this man doing with N80b for goodness sake? While steal what you can’t use? This is part of the reason they don’t want almajiri to go to school and see the atrocities they have committed against them rather they use them to get back at their perceived enemies

No be Fashola told Nigerians that 'any serious government will fix electricity within 6 months' 7 years later, ask him if his 6 months is same as the calender 6 month. Ask him that. In this Nigeria shame no dey rulers eye.

At the end, check who was arrested, the case will not go anywhere. Na them them. What happened in the case of dss agent that worked as unkwown gun man in Imo state. Police arrested him and what happened later. When thief suppose to catch thief, then no thief at all.

'If the uncircumcised cousin of small_penis_prophet muhammed; stole that much, imagine how much his Islamic_barao_bosses must have stolen to marry 6_wives with bastard children they send to graduate in Koran abroad. Without South, this parasites are dead economically.'✔️

Hausa-fulani are stealing Nigeria money. Idris thief, Malami thief. Wetin go remain?

So can we still fight corruption in nigeria? 😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜

Barawo Bansa!

Adonbilivit! Is this not the man appointed by MBuhari whose entire campaign was 'fighting kwaruption'? Recall that Magu of officialEFCC was also indicted over corruption and there are serious indications that Malami may also have a case to answer! This 9ja na wah sha🤦🏾‍♂️

I wonder if Nigeria will remain afloat after this government leaves.

That money can vbuild over 30 hospitals 🏥 a cross Nigeria 🇳🇬

Wetin you wan use N80 billion do? Kai Nigeria!

The criminal called Atiku Baguda was fully involved with Abacha billions dollars theft in 90s.

Na only arrest we dey hear, we no dey hear persecution.

No wonder. Una remember when fire been catch the office?

IPPIS master

He is one of those buhari put in power to be looting for him just like Emefiele all of them are into combined business of looting and sharing with their master buhari

Look at his mouth.

See his face! How and what does he intend to use 80 billion naira for? Tufiakwa!

80 billion naira theft. I weep for Nigeria. Yet ASUU is striking with a professor take home salary of less than 400k/month. Shame on government, shame on all her appointees!

80 billion☹️ Jesus !!

These Nigerians ehh. No trust anywhere. Who will bell the cat? Who do we trust in this country Nigeria? Every slightest opportunity is being misused. God, please send us a messiah

The oil which Diezani looted from is it from whose land? Is it Idris or Diezani, you people keep confusing yourselves

Collect the 80 billion add 120 billion and give ASUU make dem hold that one

He looks like El Rufai

Kai ole 80billon no plenty for you why not just 1 or 2billion but 80 why they no go court you to hide it ma na wahala for u ma if u don't know. Mumu of the highest order

ebtinsebtins

All these Hausa Fulanis ideology to our economy is taking Nigeria backward and the money they syphon is used in sponsoring banditary/ terrorism/ Boko Haram and 🦬 herdmen problem. Why are these taking Nigeria backward for God sake

Only one Nigerian 85b....?

The only way fool-ani will let Nigeria break up is if the southern oil dries up. The fleecing of Nigeria by the fool-anis continues. If you think Nigeria is for you, you're a mugu.

The fleecing of Nigeria by the fool-anis continues. Malami bought hundreds of exotic cars and gave them out to his fellow fool-ani. No one asked where he got the money from. If you think Nigeria is for you, you be mumu.

The fleecing of Nigeria by the fool-anis continues. Soon they'll run Nigeria to the bottom of the ocean, and none of them will be saved.

He has refused to join APC, or something close. A corrupt government CANNOT fight corruption.

This competes with Abacha loot. I believe many are yet to be exposed. Our President is just not in charge

Just 80billion out of all the trillion his accounting for.

Las las they go release am,is not from the northern part of nigeria?.

Something is fundamentally wrong with the african mindset. I Assume he will be in his 50s & worth more than APC pres form. So what on earth will he do with 80b. And why is there so much corruption under this govt. So much than all the past govt put together.

This guy must be a young Nigerian🤔

blasphemy wey pass blasphemy

He will be released soon and promoted just like Magu. This present administration encourage corruption alot.

How can someone steal 80 billion naira. Does it mean that this administration of Zamburumas, has no structure, technology or checks of it's agencies?

thìeves

Eyin oyinbo e wa fun mi ni visa

Corruption under this govt is unimaginable.

Thief

When he gets charged to court, he will be represented by a team of more than 50 SAN's. Case closed

Too bad.

Shey dem talk say moni no dey.

I wonder why they gave this one up. They’re all stealing, EFCC is just not going after everyone

Only you pack 80 billy codded, you know plan with Malami and others how una go take pieces am and you think say u go fit enjoy the bar freely, see wetin greediness cause u now.

Am sure this guy no observed Ramadan fasting… He has no conscience! These are the dudes that chased fear of God outta Nigeria 🙆🏾‍♀️

Na them under Buhari government Pen dey still N80billion

80billion can solve ASUU and ASUP problem

Ah Mr AGF, Govt have no money to implement the agreements it entered with ASUU but you have more than enough at your disposal to do whatever you want. Keep it up.

Showbiz.... I told you guys that something will happen and you guys will forget JusticeForDeborahSamuel

With half of the money he can buy APC. I suspect negotiation is on by now.

Jeessuuu Christi!!!😳😳 And ASUU is on strike.

Tomorrow the case dies

Abeg, Northerners dey thief. Chisos!

See greedy 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Let this sink in at NGN600 per $1 NGN80,000,000,000 is $133,333,333 only in Nigeria 🇳🇬 can such stupendous sum go missing and no one notices. How do you loot such amount of money when Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 had only $50M in useable reserve at the beginning of May. SMH 🤦🏽‍♂️

Money wey dem fit give asuu maybe dem go pity us na him dis one go fab

mexizgeorge 50b dey this country?😳

Hush boerboel

Someone should tell me, what's the SIN of this Nation call Nigeria? Why did these elites wanted to consumed everything available for the masses? Haaaa!....Idris again, Westin he wan buy sef? abi he wan buy election form? God dey!

Justice for Ahmed 💪😉

Idris started fleecing nigeria since 1999

That's all they know how to do in this stupid circle called. Nigeria

He is going to get away with it. They all do. No consequence for financial and political criminality in Nigeria. Nigeria is a vast criminal space.

Shey dem say na only Igbo men like Money pass.. Na Canadian loud this one steal 😂😂

80 billions fraud is a huge sum of amount. If we need change this man must be executed. Because many Nigerians have already died due to inability to settle their hospital bill of less than 1 million naira.

May APC and this kind of leadership under self acclaimed Mr integrity never happen to Nigeria again ❌ Everyone serving under this APC led govt is a potential billionaire One Nigeria is a complete fraud ❌

Ha 80B

This is the version of corruption the APC brought to government

No shout am too much as he would soon be released and freed being a Northerner.

BUHARI WILL SET HIM FREEHE IS A NORTHERNER

And ASUUNGR demand is yet to be met. It’s okay

Na wa!!

IFB

The micro financial institution people need to be arrested too. They are causing harassment for citizens and should be charged for libel. They invaded into their contact.

Just empowering their people through stealing the nation's money.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is truly a prophet, things he says are happening already. This government is the most corrupt

The situation will be managed nothing will come out of his arrest Case close. As long as na Fulani (Hausa) forgert it Arrest on media and release off media eg Magu and co We are busy borrowing money from countries we are better than,One person has D guts to steal N80 billion!

Very unfortunate indeed! I think Nigerian lawmakers should legalize corruption.

If one person is siphoning 80 billion Nigeria must continue to borrow

What are they planning to do with such fund

I hope we won't be made to forget about this in few days sha

Did I hear fraud 🤥🤣🤣

From NSCDC to Accountant general; same ole same.

Barawo...Ole...thief! Make him rot in jail..

This man is a deadly looter and a quiet one at that. It's a shame that nothing might happen to him at the end of the day. Buhari is presiding over perhaps the most corrupt government in Nigerias history.

With this news, blasphemy and Deborah killing will die down in the few days + suspect released. This guys hold our mumu button, I swear.

Their games will start cutting one after another. They'll be exposed before May 29, 2023 — even Buhari Himself. But the three persons I'm waiting to hear their doom are: Femi Adesina, Garba Shehu and Lai Mohammed (the 3 idiots)

80billion, I think he wants to get apc presidential tickets

Same amount DIEZANI use to buy Dubai Mansions and braziers.

Just imagine 80 billion,this country na wa oooh 😮

Some people no dey fear God ohh how one person go carry this kind amount of money 💰 like huhhh 😢😢

They’ve been stealing and nothing has change about them and their dirty looking people. We can’t continue like this.

Ah! Agba picka

HE IS A NORTHERNER. BUHARI will let him off the hook

Jungle justice for him and all who steal public funds

It's been long overdue. Guy's involved in fleecing the country, on many fronts.

The just call Billons as thoiugh it's just sand. Imagine this one that looks like vulture even stealing N80B

This is the only way out..

Sir_Abberhh your uncle don enter one chance.

Them say na Diezani take everything b4 na!
