Some Nigerians, under the aegis of the Kogi Conscience Liberation Movement and the Kogi Concerned Citizens Forum, staged a demonstration on Friday at the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), calling for accelerated investigations into the alleged N80 billion fraud involving the former Governor of Kogi State and other key officials.
The protest, led by Peter Onuma and Okpanachi Jacob, highlighted the severe economic consequences of corruption on the citizens of Kogi State. The demonstrators emphasized the plight of the civil service, where workers are receiving only a fraction of their rightful salaries, severely impacting the local economy.
Recalling the actions of the previous administration under ex-Governor Bello, the group pointed out the prolonged and controversial screening exercise that resulted in job losses, deaths, and widespread hardship.
Amid chants demanding justice, Onuma declared: “Our state’s economy is bleeding, and the people are suffering because of the greed and mismanagement of those in power.
“It’s a domino effect. When the workers are underpaid, the entire community suffers. The velocity of cash flow is crippled, and the hardship is palpable.
“It wasn’t just the former governor. The corruption has seeped through to the local government chairmen and financial appointees. It’s systemic.”
Reeling out their demands, Okpanachi, on his part, said, “We are asking for a thorough examination of Kogi State’s expenditures from 2016 to January 27, 2024.”
“An investigation into the former Governor of Kogi State and other corrupt officials to set a precedent for future administrations.
“An assertion that former governors should not be immuned from investigation and that the public is keenly observing the proceedings.
“An investigation into all local government chairmen involved in the corruption network. “Public disclosure of the findings from the endless screening exercise conducted by Governor Yahaya Bello’s administration.
“A comprehensive probe into all parties connected to the alleged N80 billion and N10 billion fraud cases.”
The group reaffirmed their commendation for the EFCC’s anti-corruption efforts while urging the agency to shine its investigative light on the ongoing issue of percentage salaries, suggesting that the current Kogi State administration is perpetuating past corrupt practices.

A chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Alhaji Buba Galadima, has declared that the lawmakrs in the National Assembly who had a hand in the passage of the State Police Bill would be consumed by it when it eventually comes into being.
Alhaji Galadima said this, on Tuesday, on Arise TV, during an interview.
The elder statesman, who said he had fought against its creation since 1987, said the lawmakers erred in the passage of the bill and he said the lawmakers would pay dearly for it.
He likened the State Police scheme to the Native Police structure in the pre colonial era.
Foreign Counterparts’
Said he, “The State Police Bill was just passed like that without really looking at the nitty-gritty of that law.
“I am not very much concerned because most of the characters in the National Assembly were not matured enough when the Native Authority Police was used by the Native Authority or the Regional Governments of that time. If they knew, they would not have put their fingers into this. And I assure the country that those who have a hands in this will pay dearly in the hands of State police. Am sure some of the members of the National Assembly, when this law is passed, will never have the chance to visit their states,” Alhaji Galadima declared.
A classified military document has listed 104 Nigerian Army soldiers as deserters following a Boko Haram attack on their base in Borno State.
The soldiers were attached to the 162 Amphibious Battalion along the Mandara–Buratai Road.
According to the document obtained by SaharaReporters, the soldiers were declared to have “absconded” from their duty post with their personal weapons after the attack.
The attack, which occurred on June 5, reportedly left at least eight soldiers dead.
“At the 162 Battalion on Mandara–Buratai Road, eight soldiers were killed in action. They attacked us at 4 a.m. today, Friday, when it was raining,” a military source said.
“They killed eight soldiers and beheaded them. Several others were injured during the attack,” the source added.
A military signal marked “RESTRICTED” reportedly declared the 104 personnel deserters more than three weeks after the attack.
“The above-named soldier and 103 others absconded from their place of deployment to an unknown destination on June 5, 2026, with their personal weapons after the BHT/ISWAP attack on our location,” the signal read.
“In view of the foregoing, I am directed to respectfully affirm that the said soldiers have not reported back for duty and are hereby declared deserters with effect from that date,” it added.
Military sources said authorities had frozen the bank accounts of the affected personnel and directed formations to apprehend any of them found within their areas of responsibility.
The breakdown of the affected soldiers includes one Staff Sergeant, three Sergeants, seven Corporals, 38 Lance Corporals and 55 Privates.
