The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested two sons of Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State for allegedly laundering N11 billion. The spokesman for the commission, Wilson Uwujaren, who confirmed the arrest of the duo to newsmen in Kano on Friday, gave their names as Aminu and Mustapha.
A few days ago Gov. Sule Lamido told the world that one of President Jonathan's favourite, most pampered and closest Ministers demanded and received a 250 million USD bribe. The President did nothing about it and a few days later two of Lamido's sons are arrested and detained by the EFCC for allegedly laundering 12 billion naira from the coffers of Jigawa state.
Who is fooling who here and how petty can this President be? Nigerians should wake up. We are living in a vicious dictatorship where criticising the government, the President or any of his Ministers or exposing their most evil deeds means that you are endangering the lives and liberty of your loved ones. What a shame.
It is shocking to know that the Governor Sule Lamido, two of his Children, Aminu and Mustapha, and 10 of their family companies transferred the total of N10billion from the Jigawa state government accounts.
But another point of view is that the Governor is been victimized by PDP for rebelling against the second term ambition of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Also for a poor state like Jigawa, N11 billion is about 10% of the state budget for 2012 fiscal year.
Aminu Lamido the eldest son of the progressive governor was arrested nearly a year ago, while trying to export about $50,000 dollars to Egypt on the pretence that it was for his sick daughters treatment.
EFCC exposed that the little girl was discharged nearly a year before the arrest.
EFCC detectives uncovered the money that was transferred from Jigawa state government accounts into the accounts in which governor Sule Lamido and his two sons.
