All this long piece and you can't even name this suspected criminal… or just his or her picture. But if it was an ordinary citizen or suspected Yahoo boy, you would have jailed him and shared his pictures on social media.
Let us know when you're really ready to do your job fairly.
@TheoAbuAgada
Just tell Nigerians the truth. The person is serving under the current administration. Why he/she can’t be named.
@OlayinkaLere
Who's the owner of this Estate?
@phelixio
Wait!!!....you mean one person stole money to build 753 units of Duplexes . Who's this person?😫
@OgbeniDipo
Full disclosure is needed to build trust. You should include the name of the individual.
@spoiltkid
For withholding the name you are considered as the biggest fraud ever in Nigerian history.
@khanofkhans11_
I scrolled and read word for word, EFCC was busy keeping the corrupt person anonymous. What the hell is the former top brass of the government. If it’s an average Nigerian, they’ll include a name, pictures, and even an X-ray 🩻 to show him well.
@EmmsAdra4
Name this thief, and shame them publicly as they deserve.
@donald_segun
What is the name of the former top govt official?
Which ministry, department, or agency did he head ?
At what period in time did the head of the govt MDA he stole the money from ?
What was the amount he stole from govt coffer?
After the forfeiture of these properties, what’s next?
Will they be sold to recover the stolen fund or they would be left to, rotten as is the norm in Nigeria?
These and many more questions need answers in order to enjoy the trust of the public in your activities.

Shuaibu said targeting high-profile individuals was crucial for achieving a stable society rather than targeting “yahoo boys.”
The Appeal Court judge lamented the continuous presence of corrupt individuals in positions of power.
