Former Akwa Ibom governor and senate minority leader Godswill Akpabio may
already be in trouble with the Department of State Service (DSS) after
a Supreme Court confessed to receiving bribes from him.
According to Sahara Reporters on Tuesday, October 18, Justice John Okoro has told DSS investigators that he received a bribe of $20,000 from Akapabio when he (Okoro) was appointed to the exalted judiciary position in 2013.
It is believed the incident took place while Akpabio was still governor of Akwa Ibom state where he served from 2007 to 2015 before he was elected to become a senator.
This is coming barely two weeks after operatives of the DSS stormed several houses of some judges across the country and arrested them based on corruption allegation.
Two arrested Supreme Court judges, Justice Sylvester Nwali Ngwuta, who was reportedly caught with huge cash stashed at his home, claimed he made money from selling rice and palm oil.
With all this confessions I smell a set up between the APC members, it is well.
ReplyDeleteStella this story is fake, where is your source. The said Judge has written to CJF denouncing collection of any bribe , but alleged that Amaechi and Umana tried to bribe him which he duely notified the CJF at that time. This story is completely false. Check your source . it may be from all these spoof sites
DeleteLol so he is also a trader that he made such huge profit. Their business
ReplyDeleteIsn't it surprising that these judges being humiliated are igbos and the alleged bribe giver is from the Niger Delta? The two regions Buhari promised to punish for not voting for him.
ReplyDeleteMehn...you are so stupid its unbelievable.
DeletePls it is not only the Igbos. the judge (yoruba) handling dasuki's case is there likewise some from the north. He is harassing those who don't want dance to his tunes...

DeleteWhite lies from the pit of hell .The same way this clueless govt lied the public that FFK wife's Access bank account has billions of naira hidden it when in reality the total money is less than N300k. Shame on Buhari
ReplyDeleteBribery left, right and center. Made money selling rice and palm oil.
ReplyDeleteIts alright
ReplyDeleteMallam Buhari,I guess ur northern Muslim brother Judges and Politicians do not receive and give bribes respectively ? U wants us to believe that the North is full of saints and righteous people. So the late Sani Abacha is now from the south also?
ReplyDeleteHe will only confess to taking bribe from pdp members na. Chei! This government only God go fit judge una.
ReplyDeleteIf this so called confession is true, then the JSC should take the crown for being the most greedy. How much is 20k dollars to a JSC? But we know greedy people will do so much for soooook little.
ReplyDeleteNgwanu
ReplyDeleteMtcheeeew. Let me rest abeg. If you arrest the Judges for collecting bribe, also arrest the people who gave the bribe, simple.
ReplyDeleteI'm indeed tired of this government.
I agree with you on this,the giver and the receiver should be punished.
DeleteAs in Eh.. I'm truly fade up of this government, from one drama to the other.. All this one, doesn't mean anything to the common man. Pls do something about the economy, before we all die of hunger
