I am not surprised if the list of “corrupt” individuals was leaked to the public because Nigeria’s political landscape is filled with intrigues and drama

 

[greatMelvin]

A cursory look at the names of the High-Profile individuals on this list reveals a good number of them served under the previous administration and this is something of interest.

 

[greatMelvin]

Is this a Political witch-hunt between parties?

 

[greatMelvin]

How did EFCC allow the list to be exposed? How did Punch intercept the list in question? What is the authenticity of this list? This country!

 

[greatMelvin]

Nobody is guilty unless proven so by the Court. Everything else is just speculation.

 

[greatMelvin]

The credibility of EFCC is always in question these days. Its needs a reform.

 

[greatMelvin]

Can we trust this government to totally stamp out corruption?

 

[greatMelvin]

I would appreciate a public statement made by the EFCC to clear things up.
