Bankole arrested (see details here).
A step in the right direction, but I am not rejoicing yet. Remember Tafa Balogun? He stole billions (see here for full list of charges), yet spent under a year in prison (see here). He is now a free man, enjoying the remainder of his loot that the EFCC was unable to trace.
So kudos to GEJ for stopping Bankole from eloping (he was meant to have fled the country this morning). But I reserve my applause until this case reaches its logical conclusion, with all the funds returned, Bankole jailed and stripped off all honours, and checks and balances put in place to ensure this type of thing does not happen again.
Let's see how this latest episode of the ongoing soap opera in Nigerian government (which I have titled "The lifestyles of the corrupt and infamous") unfolds.
