A former presidential spokesperson, Reuben Abati, has been arrested.
Mr. Abati, who was spokesperson to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan was arrested on Monday and is expected to spend at least Monday night at the office of the anti-graft agency, EFCC.
The journalist is being questioned for allegedly receiving some money from former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, EFCC sources told PREMIUM TIMES.
Mr. Dasuki is currently being tried by the EFCC for his management of arms funds under him , in what is now known as #Dasukigate.
Mr. Abati’s arrest makes it at least three former aides of Mr. Jonathan who are currently in EFCC custody.
A former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, is still with the commission since last week Monday when he voluntarily surrendered himself after staying months away from the country.
Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Jonathan campaign spokesperson, was arrested on Friday and is still with the commission.

ReplyDeleteStella's boo!! Abeg make una free our blog boo. It wasn't him!!
DeleteAwwwwwwwww
DeleteReuben our BV
Oya all BVS come lets go to Aso Villa n campaign for his release
Who didn't see this coming? After that article he wrote about the evil spirit in Aso rock, I guess he got the attenti he was looking for.
DeleteAnyways, he can always talk his way outta this mess
Reubens ke? This dasukigate is getting really serious o.hope the EFCC accommodation is on point sha like a first class hotel we don't want our billionaires sleeping on concrete floor...hehehehehe...ole
DeleteNot surprised! Hope your hands are clean Uncle Reuben?
DeleteYes yes yes!!! About time they ask this puppet some questions, hope he implicates that dumb ass Jonathan and his cabinets. I want all of them in jail!
DeleteE be like say na everybody EFCC wan arrest now. Na wa o!
ReplyDeleteReceive sense in Jesus name. Why haven't they come to arrest you? Dasuki dash you money?
DeletePlease Bubu free my Reuben Abati, will only support you if Amaechi and co are arrested
DeleteThis just got interesting.
ReplyDeleteTo all those that were on Chidinma's case on the Uti post...
ReplyDeleteIt is
you can't have your cake and eat it too.
This phrase is easier to understand if it is read as "You can't eat your cake, and have it too". Obviously once you've eaten your cake, you won't have it any more. Used for expressing the impossibility of having something both ways, if those two ways conflict.
Anon 6:19 are u minding the blind followers of their 1eyed king?lmao
Delete😂😂😂..show me an incorruptible official in Nigeria and I'll show you ten virgins below 30.
ReplyDelete'Above' 30. You're welcome.
DeleteJeez I hate this administration!
ReplyDeleteShame on all those who clamoured for this kind of change. I guess they can't stand his brilliant write-ups any longer.
Ahahahaha. My dear your argument is laughable. So you really believe that he was arrested for writing brilliantly? My God, I weep for this generation.
DeleteBuhari is gradually turning into a tyrant!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm....
Sisi Eko,what do you have to say?
Who's going to write epistles for us since they've arrested this man?
Gradually? He is a Tyrant! This slow and useless president must be removed!
DeleteGradually? The old man is a tyrant
DeleteVindictive evil minded somebody.
The worst thing to happen to Nigeria ever.
Ahan. Reuben Abati too. This is becoming something else. If PDP ever wins power back they'd surely do the same to APC past office holders. But then that's Nigerian Democracy for you. If he is guilty then prosecute.
ReplyDeleteThe APC office holders will jump ship na. That's the modus operarandi
DeleteLooks like everyone in the last administration will be fingered in this #Dasukigate orgy. I am not rooting for corruption but it is beginning to border on the ridiculous with the cleanse being one sided.
ReplyDeleteWhere have you been kehinde, it haff tey.

Kehinde Ake, saw you in the papers, getting married, but it was in my dream. Lol.Must be because alot of bv' been asking after you.
DeleteAwon ole jatijati
ReplyDeleteRemains Kunle Aluko to come and account for his share of Dasuki loot,oh yeah he absconded just like his thieving brother Kola Aluko
DeleteThis Dasuki money is a very big virus. I was thinking that Abati is clean.
ReplyDeletethe noise making was meant to keep the flies off their smelly nyash. when you commit a crime and you make more noise, people tend to leave you alone thinking you are innocent. dem forget say na fulani and cow dey sleep together inside bush with cow dung. if Ruben come out eh, the write up go kill nigerians.
DeleteWhat is happening in this damn country? I hope all these accusations are not true but even at that buhari do something about the economy because people are suffering.
ReplyDeleteHahaha.. nawa oooo.they wan arrest everybody..who go remain..EFCC and buhari where is all this money una dey collect ooooo..hmmmmmmm.missylymn
ReplyDeletehe never expectedit... lol
ReplyDelete🙌😀😀😁😀😀😀
DeleteWhich one be shuo? Let him explain what he knows na! After all nobody is above the " law" may be except "judges" uncle Reuben tell wetin u know concerning the ish. All the best of luck sha
ReplyDeleteDear Nigerian goverment,
ReplyDeleteNoone said you shouldn't fight corruption...but you can do better in the media.
Comfort the populace with cheerier news..
Comfort us with the news that the exchange rate of naira to the dollar is dollar to the Naira.
Comfort us with the news that the cost of rice is N8k per bag.
Comfort us with the news that confidence has been restored in Nigeria so foreign investors have returned with their cash!
Comfort us with the cheery news that our online business can been resurrected because your policies on foreign exchange have taken a good turn!
Comfort the common man, re-assure him who is not "dreaming of a white christmas" but just wants to ensure an enabling business environment to thrive and have the basics in life!
Comfort them with the commissioning of road projects, our roads are death traps!
Until you do these stories that touch the heart on Reuben,FFK,Ofili-ajumogbobia et all mean complete BULLSHIT to us.
Hahahaha.....
DeleteIf you are looking for comfort,better run into any bible believing church near you.She is right there at the altar,leading the choir.
😅😅😅😅😅😆😆😆😆😄😄😄
DeleteNice one @ karma Is a bitch
DeleteBuhahahaha!
DeleteAfter revealing such secret about Aso rock was he expecting to go free
ReplyDeleteHaahaa!
DeleteMtchewwwww. Buhari is EVIL.
ReplyDeleteWhy? For arresting a man who stole from us all, yourself inclusive?
DeleteWarris all this na. This one sided witch hunting is now so annoying.
ReplyDeleteTrying to humble the opposition into silence. You say anything against the government, you get a visit from EFCC.
Is Oga at the top becoming the next Idi Amin.
Reuben of all people. Abi they need him to locate and annihilate the evil spirits in Aso?
I'm just observing.
PG18
ReplyDeleteIs their and innocent man in Nigeria? Every body should be arrested.
ASHAWO WAS 1's A VIRGIN
Hmmm...the"spiritual" side of EFCC
ReplyDeletePolitical intimidation
ReplyDeleteEheheheh. Oga Reuben, how far?
ReplyDeleteOK bye
Come oh sisi !LMAO 😁
DeleteLol Amanda, how far? I dey laugh oo
DeleteNawa ooo Na only Jonathan ppl dem dey arrest
ReplyDeleteCommon my fellow BVs, we are smarter than this nau. This is all circulating around #Dasukigate. Did you think Dasuki would have given money to Buhari's people?
DeleteDear anonymous, you think Amaechi and Tinubu's hands and pockets are clean abi?
DeleteOdiegwu. At least he will have something to write about
ReplyDeletePlease what's going on in this country? What's the essence of all this arrest here and there? Is Buhari administration all about revenge or what? What about APC corrupt politicians?
ReplyDeleteNa wa Reuben be ready to be frustrated.
ReplyDeleteBuhari is high. Why is he arresting everyone from Jonathan's government? Only thing Reuben should be arrested for are his overly long and boring articles. They should leave the man alone joor
ReplyDeleteNo comments until details emerge
ReplyDeletePerhaps it's difficult to play with oil and not be stained. Who knows
Lol....
DeleteYou are the only one that can say 'no comments' and still comment.
I guess 'lessons on bible-writing' is the only kind of comment you know.
I knew this wld happen,they wld look for one story just to victimize him bcos he spoke d truth. Corrupt efcc,corrupt govt,military regime in disguise.
ReplyDeleteSpeechless much
ReplyDeleteOne thing is sure,he wont remain president for ever and PDP will rise again!!!
ReplyDeleteVoldermot things abi
DeleteNa you wan rise PDP ? Mother in Isreal... Lol
Delete@ don, with the way APC is going, do u think they will last in that seat? With all this hunger everywhere, my dear I doubt.. And yes if they don't change, it is only a matter of time before PDP rules again. They should continue chasing the wind
DeleteLol @ voldermot things
DeleteTheir biz. Who dem epp?
ReplyDeleteMe self follow you do shuoooo!!! It's because of the spiritual side of Aso-Rock saga... May God bring you back in good health, they might even kill him sef...

ReplyDeleteI need a job bfor things turn nasty.
ReplyDeletePMB and his cohorts should just stop all these corruption probe when all of them are all corrupt!! I wonder when these APC n PDP war will end till then Nigeria won't be better.
ReplyDeleteIssokay. I'll wait for the wonderful piece Mr Abati will write after his release.
ReplyDeleteGood morning people.
Next epistle on the way
ReplyDelete#GODWIN
Hmmmm this regime is something else. I just hope we are all save
ReplyDeleteSafe***
DeleteSave to where ? That Stella's boat abi bridge.
Stella's best friend has been arrested,u was waiting for this. Is buhari won't have left him out,I knew this would happen..his articles are pending till he is out of this mess
ReplyDeleteI was*. Cos buhari*
DeleteI knew they were coming for him next. He has been talking a lot. I knew he will be bundled
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he'll write about the experience if/when he comes out. Can't wait to read. 😆
ReplyDeleteProblems everywhere..... APC Welldone ooo.
ReplyDeleteSay what?? Which kain country be this bikonu? Are they in power to lead us or carry out revenge on the past government? Na wah
ReplyDeleteWho else ? I think that Reno or abi na rhino be him name. Everyone that participated in Jonathan government must write statements.
ReplyDeleteU mean renal
DeleteNa wa
ReplyDeleteNa wa
ReplyDeleteIf found wanted, he should be charged.
ReplyDeleteI don't care who they are, but all those that brought Nigeria and Nigerians to this standstill, most surely pay in one way or the other.
They should all return their portion of the stolen money. Some of them should be use as a scapegoat.
And the witch hunt continues.
ReplyDeleteOMG!...
ReplyDeleteI think Reno Omokri is next!...
Dude should just stay in the US abeg...
Criticize this nonsense Vuharia's government and they will put your name into those that ate from Dasuki!...
APC and Vuharia lies are becoming too much!...
Useless stupid government with no vision!...
I just wonder why people are still supporting this government. Are they blind?
DeleteThis man is just bn vindictive in the name of fighting corruption. At least one person should be found wanting in his cabinet. 2019 come quick!
@abril...and until 2019 coms, go drink a bottle of vinegar to quench ur stupidity. Mofo!
DeleteThey should kuku arrest the whole cabinet of Jonathan. EFCC be busy running round like headless chicken. All the so-called arrests, nothing tangible has come out of it so far. Nonsense.
ReplyDeleteTrust Reuben to enlighten us of what transpired between them in his writeups.
1 million likes
DeleteAso Rock Ghost is after Reuben. He stole more than 50M from Dasuki gate. Those of you being emotional about it should think abt what 50M will change in ur lives.
ReplyDeleteIdiot may you perish with your propaganda!
DeleteBring your facts or evidence or forever remain silent 50 million can't do shit to my life ewu
Do you have life at all? What have you bebefited from previous recoveries?
DeleteD monies they have recovered so far, how many dem done use help ur own life? Or any other life for that matter? Namsense
DeleteThe observer what is your point then? Should we leave them with d money then? D nation's loot shld not be recovered? Nonsense.
DeleteWhere did Abati get money to buy a house in Ikoyi and relocate his two wives n children abroad?Legit income Abi.All of them will suffer.
DeleteHope they won't come for Charly Boy? Nothing is impossible with Buhari...
ReplyDeleteEh ya.
ReplyDeleteI guess the Aso Rock witches and wizards can still haunt you after leaving.
Abati has talked more than he supposed to talk ooo.
ReplyDeleteAnybody that talks bad about this government, efcc go follow am.
The Queen please i love you, lets start saying good things about vuhari ooo. I dont want efcc on your case.
They couldn't stand his long write up. They are exposing themselves because Reuben will spray their dirty linen outside after the detention. Which Dasuki money if I may ask? That is what happens when a commoner is priviledge to be in power.
ReplyDeleteA commoner is priviledge? Wat are u saying? Since u dont want a commoner to become president why not go nd invite d children of d queen of england to come nd rule us. A commoner like u is angry dat a commoner is ruling.
DeleteBuhari too should be arrested for questioning. The two suv he got were there not from Dasuki?
ReplyDeleteThe question should be, 'Did he collect?' If he did, then he must face the outcome. Awon ole!
ReplyDeletePlease when will they pick umana and akpabio.
ReplyDeleteWhen they pick your entire family unam ikot
DeleteSerious matter
ReplyDeleteThey are afraid because he has been exposing the dirty secrets at the aso rock.
ReplyDeleteBuhari has showed us reason why we shouldn't vote him come 2019 except he rigs the election. Shutting up the opposition isn't democracy!
