#CorruptBuhari: Claim he is anti-corruption, but under his watch as federal commissioner for petroleum resources, it was discovered that $2.8 billion of Nigerias oil money was withdrawn from the NNPC account in Londons Midland Bank and fraudulently deposited in a private BCCI (Bank of Credit and Commerce International) London account where it generated interest amounting to 419 million pounds for private pockets. BCCI, described by Time Magazine as the dirtiest bank of all, turned out to be a rogue bank of international drug-barons and money-launderers owned by a notorious Pakistani; Agha Hassan Abedi. The bank finally collapsed in 1991 after British and American regulators discovered it was involved in widespread money-laundering deals. The Shagari administration instituted a probe panel, headed by Justice Ayo Irikefe, to get to the bottom of the $2.8 billion scandal. The Senate also instituted its own investigations, headed by majority leader, Olusola Saraki. The Saraki committees report was presented to the Senate at the tail-end of the Shagari administrations first term, with the resolve to address the matter after the 1983 election. Conduct a coup détat overthrowing the civilian government before the report could be made public. Bury the Irikefe Report, ensuring that it has never been made public. Intimidate the press into silence by promulgating the infamous Decree 2 which stifled press freedom and threatened prosecution of even those who tell the truth, as long as it is not palatable to him. Send politicians indiscriminately to jail on corruption charges as a way of diverting attention from his own corruption scandal. Remove the Chief Justice of the Federation and replace him with Justice Ayo Irikefe, the man who headed the probe panel whose report he buried. Also appoint Chike Ofodile, the secretary of the probe panel whose report he buried, as your attorney-general.
