Curropt officialEFCC which refused to investigate that curropt Attorney General who is building a Rayhan University and upgrading his hotels in Kano. These curropt shameless thieves can never be trusted

Nigerians will be interested to know their identities and who they work for, I hope this won't be swept under the carpet.

It's now they choose to wake from slumber? Why did they have to wait this long? So if Tompolo didn't arrest those vessels that came to steal our crude and discover those illegal spots on the pipeline where they steal our crude they would have still be sleeping. Stories!

Misplaced priority! This should be investigated by the navy and the police and not the corrupt EFCC joor. This is to cover up the whole matter.

What of the one dem burn? So dem fit hand over vessels to efcc, & cds say no need for investigation for the one dem burn. Naija I hail thee.
