“The office of the Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) took over the investigation, checked the content of the baggage and discovered among other items, the address of the owner as well as the contact number.

El-Rufai said this while speaking at the Sunday Service of the Latter Rain Assembly which he attended yesterday July 31st. “We have always known that there is massive corruption in Nigeria but the revelations of the past one year have shocked even the most pessimistic of critics.

I pity him because he has always become President anytime Nigeria is in trouble. First, it was after the NPN (National Party of Nigeria) government had almost grounded the economy (in 1984) and now, after a massive looting of the nation’s treasury; and he has to lead the team to fix it”he said Attend Professional Blogging
