Jonathan set to probe Babangida over 12.4 billion Scam

After years of prevarication by several governments, the chicken might be coming home to roost for Ibrahim Babangida. NEXT gathered in Abuja, the seat of power, last night, that the Federal Government has raised a committee to probe the eight-year military government of Mr. Babangida.

The former military president is alleged to have mismanaged over $12.4 billion that accrued from crude oil sales during the Gulf War.

The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Bello Adoke (SAN), told our correspondent in a telephone conversation that the committee is chaired by the Solicitor-General of the Federation and Permanent Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Justice, Abdulahi Yola.

Although the committee has been charged to work expeditiously to meet the huge expectations of the citizens, it was learnt that it has no deadline, however.

Mr. Adoke’s revelation came on the trail of renewed actions being made to push for the enforcement of zoning as a political means of picking the presidential candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) from the north in 2011 by a 48-man team inaugurated on Sunday at a meeting held by the Northern Elders’ Forum.

IBB is an evil genius as descirbe by some of his allies, but within dis my little world i have knew from time in-memorial that God has never create a human that he can not dealt with, Jonathan may not have enough power to probe him because of some strong forces around our political ARENA today, but when God is ready 100million batarlion of securities can not stop God, his influence with all the prominent dignitaries accross the world will fail him, and we should not 4get he can only fool us but he can not fool God, at an appropriate time our ever living God shall bring IBRAHIM BADAMOSI BABANGIDA in to  book and the AXE of Judgement shall be lay on him, and the whole world will know that God is God he never change.

jack of all trade they said is master of non, this is not only nonsense but stupidity combined with madness at its highest level , probe probe and probe , homany many probe ? and does it make any sense at all to embarked on the long journey at a shortest time ? the life span of this very regime is just some feew months from now , so why wasting our resource on the matters that will not yields any fruitful results ? Yar-Adua his master started his journey on 7 points agend and get no where in 3yrs , and what sense is there starting the remaining one yr on probe and probe when we have more pressing issues at hand , ? like this man is not having an advisers at all or so stubrons to take to the advices , by the time he will be living office in may 2011 , he may end up being the worst leader nigeria ever has
