Timi Frank, a former All Progressives Congress (APC) deputy national publicity secretary, has asked the Department of State Services (DSS) to arrest and prosecute heads of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) under Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain made the remarks in response to the DSS’s suspension and arrest of former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Godwin Emefiele.
Emefiele was suspended by President Bola Tinubu and whisked to Abuja by DSS operatives following his arrest in Lagos State.
Security agencies, according to Timi Frank, must arrest and prosecute other heads of critical government agencies who have abused their positions and allegedly stolen the commonwealth of the people.
He named Bashir Jamo, Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Mohammed Bello Koko, Group CEO of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, and Muhammad Nami, Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
Others include former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, Senator Hadi Sirika, and Hajiya Sadiya Umar Farouq, ex-Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development.
The politician stated that failure to arrest and prosecute these suspects known to have used their offices for selfish gain would show that the Tinubu administration is only out to witch-hunt Emefiele now under DSS custody.
He added that without moving against the powerful cabal, the Tinubu’s administration would have lent credence to insinuations that it is only up against Christian political office holders as recently alluded to by the immediate past Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-rufai.
According to him:
Those who illegally benefited from illegal allocation of oil blocks and marginal oil fields championed by the NNPCL and the CBN’s Money Redesign Policy must be fished out and prosecuted.
The execution of the National Social Investment Programme by Hajiya Farouk leaves a lot of questions to be answered. This is the time for Nigerians to know what really happened and how much was used to feed school pupils at home during COVID.
The recent deception by Sirika who chattered an Ethiopian Airline Aircraft to deceive Nigerians that Nigeria Air has materialized must also be probed. Personal Assistant to ex-President Buhari, Tunde Sabiu must not be left out.
