Centre For Anti-Corruption And Open Leadership Calls For Probe Oba Of Lagos Over Claim That Huge Sums Of Money Was Stolen When His Palace Was Ransacked During Endsars Protest

Centre For Anti-Corruption And Open Leadership Calls For Probe Oba Of Lagos Over Claim That Huge Sums Of Money Was Stolen When His Palace Was Ransacked During Endsars Protest.

The Oba of Lagos RILWAN AKIOLU may have landed himself into trouble over claim that huge sums of money was stolen when his Palace was ransacked by hoodlums during the ENDSARS protest .

This is because the Centre for anticorruption and open leadership is calling on the EFCC to probe how the traditional ruler got such amount of money.

You will recall that Oba RILWAN AKIOLU said that $2m and N17m was stolen from his Iga Iduganran Palace in October 2020 during the ENDSARS saga.

The Executive Chairman of the Centre Mr. DEBO ADENIRAN said the money declared by the Oba was beyond what the constitution allows an individual to keep in the house.

The anti corruption crusader also reacted to the alleged move by the EFCC to reopen investigation into past corruption cases against the APC National Leader, BOLA TINUBU.

DEBO ADENIRAN noted that nothing is wrong with such move so long it wasn't selective and to witch hunt TINUBU.

Amalgamated Union Of Foodstuff And Cattle Dealers Of Nigeria Ends Five Days Of Blockade Of Perishable Food Supply To The South.

After five days of food blockade to the Southern parts of the country, the Amalgamated Union of Foodstuff and Cattle Dealers in Nigeria has announced an end to the blockade.

The union decided to call off its strike after an engagement with the Kogi State Governor, YAHAYA BELLO.

President of the union, MUHAMMAD TAHIR, said the strike was called off following the Federal Government’s promise to pay N4.75bn compensation, ensure protection of its members and stop all forms of multiple taxation and intimidation from security officials on the highways.

The group had demanded compensation for the alleged killing of its members and properties lost during the #EndSARS protests and the Sasha market crisis.

While addressing the union members at the reconciliatory meeting, Governor YAHAYA BELLO said the strike had increased the hardship majority of Nigerians were already going through.

A former Minister of Aviation, FEMI FANI-KAYODE, who spoke on behalf of the West and Southern geo-political regions, said the impact of the strike was too heavy to ignore
