The EFCC is sure making frantic efforts to cover up for the few weeks of 'inactivity' when President Umar Yaradua came into office. Many had actually concluded that the anti-corruption agency had been practically 'grounded' as its investigations into allegations of corruption levelled against some former public office holders were 'put on hold'.
The EFCC is however defiant and is ready to hand another yuletide gift to a former governor of Anambra State, Chris Ngige. Ngige's sin is allegedly operating a 'security account' running into 5 billion naira.
Ngige was quizzed last night and might eventually be charged when the public holidays are over.
If eventually docked, Ngige will wear jersey number 8 of ex-governors in EFCC team and will queue behind James Ibori and Ayodele Fayose in the list of 'executive political detainees' handed yuletide gifts.
What still baffles me is that a curious look at the list, apart from James Ibori of Delta, only perceived enemies of the former administration are being arraigned. What has happened to allegations of corruption also hanging on the anointed sons of the former president?

Ngige the fighter!!! will he fight like he fought Baba Iyabo and his disciples in Anambra to a stand still...though no more public sympathy for him again 'cos we are talking about corruption here, and if that allegation of 2 billion naira 'illegal' security votes is true, then he has lost my support. Jail him.
