Don't let ex AGF Idris, off the hook......group urges EFCC.

A group, Southern Solidarity Forum, has hailed the resumed trail of former Accountant General of the Federation, Mr Ahmed Idris. Recall, Mr Idris is standing trial for corruption and misappropriation of funds to the tune of 106 Billion.

Speaking to newsmen during a parley with stakeholders and members in Osogbo, Thursday, the coordinator, Otunba Olagoke Fabiyi said " we have understood the antics of the former AGF. He was trying to be clever by half. How on earth will an educated individual, with his calling claimed to have made a statement under duress? It is inexplicable, absurd and nonsensical. To even have the effrontery to say EFCC deceived him into making his statement is laughable and childish".

Mr Fabiyi continued, " what we witnessed during the trail in court was a desperate attempt to ridicule the anti corruption fight of president Bola Ahmed Tinubu, through the resilience of the EFCC, under the chairmanship of Mr Olukayode. It must be understood that, the current leadership of the EFCC is seriously pushing to purge and rid the country of corruption, and avaricious activities of individuals like of Mr Ahmed Idris. Even the EFCC witness, one Mr Hayatudden, who is from the same place with the former AGF, confirmed, that Mr Ahmed Idris did make his statement voluntarily".

In the same vein, the Secretary of the forum, Ms Bisola Adeyemi faulted the slow pace of the trail. She said, " individuals like Mr Ahmed Idris should have been thrown in jail since. Because, he stole our future. Imagine, ASUU went on strike for about 6months, demanding for a little less than what the AGF stole. He was even fingered as one of the reason ASUU went on strike because of a fraudulent IPPIS, which he was a major beneficiary".

She continued, " his codefendants, should equally not be let off the hook. One wonders the type of consultancy services they provided which amounted to such humongous figures. These people had really toyed with our future".

Other speakers during the event hailed the renewed fight against corruption as timely. They urged EFCC to be dogged in their activities, and should not spare anybody, regardless of his position or status in the country.
