Hian!!! This man made very weighty allegations against the AGF on live Tv and is even ready to back up his claims with evidence and the AGF responds by arresting him on trumped up charges. Shouldn't the AGF be more concerned about disproving his allegations?. Anyway, i feel the story is incomplete but whatever happens, nobody is coming out of this covered in glory. Naija we hail thee!!!.

If the issue of George Uboh is not handled well by the FG, I'd lose every ounce of respect for them.

First and foremost, the caption by Sahara reporters is libellous. George Uboh was charged for credit card fraud in the USA (which was a petty crime and didn't deserve more than a few months of jail time) but he was somehow robed in for Heroine possession and trafficking and it was for that purpose that he served the 9 years.

While in Jail he began to read literature connected to the Law and was able to challenge the USA govt for his wrongful imprisonment for Heroine possession. If one was to google his name against Reno who headed the case, you would see that George won the case and had his sentense upturned even though he would later be deported to Nigeria.

George started a money laundering and scam detection agency and has worked at different times for the NPF, EFCC, Bayelsa state govt until he was recently appointed by the AGF in February of this year.

I have no doubt that should his case be mishandled, President Buhari's corruption war will be treated as a scam by not just me, but by every other well-meaning Nigerian across the world.

George was instrumental to the downfall of Lamorde when he exposed all the atrocities that were committed by the EFCC under his reign including not remitting 1 trillion Naira of recovered loot back to the FG.

George most recently, came on air to expose the scam being perpetuated by the AGF who has been conniving with banks to prevent them from returning all the hidden dollars within their coffers to TSA. George said in his first month working for the AGF he was able to recover close to 1B USD and was therefore surprised to see that the amount announced as recovered fell way below his own personal recovery.

George insisted that he could prove that banks within Nigeria were housing close to 70B USD including Keystone Bank ( a relatively small bank having 542M USD within its own coffers). George challenged the Channels News men to ask any public authority to disprove the authenticity of his evidence to which he would dole out 10k USD to each of them should they succeed.

He said on LiveTV how that Access bank were calling him over the phone to urge him to calm down under the supervision of the AGF. When George refused their advances, and even wrote 3 letters to the AGF, the President and the VP, he was summarily fired by the AGF who then claimed to have been oblivious of George's checkered past.

What makes this assertion laughably ridiculous is that during his campaign to expose the EFCC the news about his jail time in the USA was being announced daily even to the point of creating a DVD to smear his image. I wonder how the AGF can then claim at this point that he didn't know about it, considering that he courted George since Nov of 2015 before giving him that job in February of 2016.

George is being witch-hunted for exposing the 2-faced conniving bastard that the AGF is and if President Buhari refuses to take the right actions concerning this issue, it will ultimately cause his downfall and the downfall of the APC.

You mean the man is a convicted drug felon?

Heroin not Igbo o!

George Uboh, Fraudster Hired By AGF Malami, Arrested By DSS For Forgery

You are the one who didn't contextualize the information you read,
having criminal history doesn't give DSS the right to arrest him,
he has served his term so the "fraudster" tag is just a diversion.
What new economic crime has he committed to warrant his arrest ?

I don't think there's anything wrong in hiring a reformed fraudster. They are the ones that know the inner workings and how to trap them.

If you have watched "Catch me if you can" by Leonardo Dicaprio based on the true life story of Frank Abagnale, you will see that they used the best thief to catch fraudsters. He became their best agent.

It is corruption to see the crimes of an individual and do nothing about it only to bring it up when you percieve that the individual has done something against you. That for me is what the problem is; that is the problem with this government.

It's the favourite tool of MI5,CIA and the KGB nothing new if the DSS get up to speed

To those in support of this, It is turn by turn. It will soon get to everybody's turn. Continue to applaud the human rights violation of this government.

But how did he get hired in the first place. didn't they do background check on him before hiring him? A whole fraud.

Its like government are hiring convicts and criminals who must remain loyal or face prosecution. Examples of criminals hired by government are plenty. If you are a PDP or a non loyal criminal, prison is your friend. But if it is the other way round, you are a change agent.

Like someone said. Freedom is over rated. True.
The only violation here is not allowing him fair hearing. Nothing wrong in arresting him. What do you think was Osama Bin Laden's offense? Wasn't he used and dumped by the yanks?

Since APC and Buhari took over power my heart has be bleeding and cry for Nigeria a lot this nation is doom honestly. I asked this question all the time and I ask God again pls DADDY what is Nigeria crime that you gave us this kind of party called APC and a leader like Buhari. God please in your mercy kindly forgive us our sins because this punishment is too terrible. Truly we are tired of PDP but God APC is not the alternative we hope for at all Nigeria has be bewitched unknowingly by APC, GOD pls daddy just help us we need you right now 3 years to come may be forever doom on this soil many are still in pains of 1984 and adding these ones to it will be a total doom pls God help.

Now no one can talk freely, DSS will bully you, EFCC will bully you, Police will fire shot and kill for anything, LASTMA will bully you, KAI of Lagos will bully you, imagine immigration boss came to office for first day and threatening to arrest politicians hhhhmmmm..... immigration too showing puffy, the most annoying of all is the useless Civil Defense till end time I still don't know the usefulness of civil defense in our society people that suppose to be relegated to senior boys scout now became terror to the extend carrying arms and kill people Nigeria is a nightmare hoenestly. Very soon boyscout too will join plus Man o War and yet some are still sai ear infection half deaf president. Keep sai one day it would be your turn then I will see whose sai you will call then.

I seriously sorry for all APC members, DSS and EFCC I have said it before and will say it again that the way PDP were shocked and were send packing and find themselves in these mess they are right now so also the clock will turn against APC oh! heaven the revenge on APC will be too brutal I swear. If Ghadafi and Sadam that seems looking like the best leader for their country despite their horible leadership end up the way they ends up after believing no can can move them and they will be their forever but in a tickle of an eyes the revolt came and they were gone with their family and blood spilled on by road for dogs to licks then nothing in life goes for ever.

I am amazed at how some Nigerians think. We are talking of billions in Naira stolen, millions in dollars and other foreign currency of stolen money that could have been used to provide good infrastructure and job opportunties to the people. And all you could argue about is Heroin. This guy served his jail term he didnt deny. Fed govt saw he is an asset and asked for his service. For crying out loud he us good at what he does. Added to that he is fearless. Bringing up allegations that he was jailed is a distraction at this moment. Besides some people were jailed for treason and yet came out to become commander in chief. I am just saying.

Wonderful.!!

He was wrongly charged for the Heroine possession and the American govt lost their case against him.

The only thing that he was guilty of was credit card fraud which at the time (1992 or so) was treated as a petty crime that could be atoned for by a short jail term or community service- not 9 years.

George didn't forge any documents. He is exactly like someone mentioned: he is like Frank Abagnale or Madoff, whose services were later used by the FBI.

George is really gifted at detecting scams and laundered money that is why he was contracted by the EFCC and even the AGF.

Their only issue with him is that he tends to be overzealous and defiant about scams. Once he sees something wrong, he cannot look the other way.

He is also very brute and doesn't mince words even during his interviews. Please talk to anyone you know, the AGF will bring down PMBs anti-corruption campaign.

George said PMB was the only president since Yar Adua to reply his letters and to promise to look into the issue. That's why it has come as a surprise, that the desperate AGF will try to gag George by arresting him before PMBs return from London.
