CRIME UPDATE: EFCC arrests, ex - Jigawa Gov Saminu Turaki • OlamondNaija

EFCC Arrests, ex- Jigawa Gov Saminu Turaki
A former governor of Jigawa State, Senator Saminu Turaki was this afternoon, July 4, 2017 arrested by agents of EFCC. He was picked up at the venue of the public presentation of a book on Brigadier Zakariya Maimalari, the first regular combatant officer in the Nigerian Army, in Abuja.
Before the arrest, EFCC has had to declare Turaki wanted for failing to present himself for trial since 2011 on 36 counts corruption charge before the Federal High Court, Dutse.
The court had issued a warrant directing the Inspector General of Police or his officers and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to arrest Saminu Turaki and bring him before the court. Justice S. Yahuza gave the order after Turaki consistently failed to attend trial.
But attempts to execute the warrant failed as Turaki remained elusive. On May 19, 2016 operatives of the Commission acting on a tip-off had stormed the 16 Denis Osadebey Street Asokoro, Abuja home of the former governor but he slipped through their hands.
Turaki faces multiple charges bordering on criminal conspiracy, stealing, money laundering and misappropriation of public funds.

Yenagoa teenager’s murder By Samuel Oyadongha, Yenagoa “How could a boy we took as our own blood do this to our daughter (Faith)? He may have run away but he will definitely not escape the long arm of the law. May the blood of our daughter continue to pursue him until he is tracked down and brought to justice.” These were the words of one of the bereaved family members in Biogbolo when Sunday Vanguard visited the community on Thursday. The tensed atmosphere in the usually serene  community in Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State could be felt days after the Friday night knife attack on 18-year-old Faith Pius by one Torchikwu, a 26-year-old plumber, from the eastern part of the country which led to her death last Sunday. The death sparked an orgy of violence in the area on Monday and Tuesday, leaving many traders, especially furniture makers, inconsolable.
