The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission [EFCC] seems to have finally awakened to its responsibility as Ambassador Usman Sarki was seen leaving the EFCC

It is self-evident that the EFCC woke from their slumber on realisation that the United States FBI, Justice Department, state department, and others have directly started investigations on the case.
In an earlier report titled “Lamorde Accused of Negligence; Persons with Disabilities petition Buhari for his sack”, Elombah.com had published how sloppy the EFCC were in investigating the fraud case involving Ambassador Usman Sarki and Alhaji Abdulrauf Olarenwaju Iliasu.
An organisation, Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities International, Inc. [ERPDI], speaking through its President, Chief Eric Ndubueze Ufom, had severally petitioned various offices and individuals alerting them of alleged fraud involving Alhaji Abdulrauf Olarenwaju Iliasu on “poor and helpless Nigerians with disabilities as his victims.”
The EFCC officer who interrogated Ambassador Sarki as gathered by Elombah.com was Aminudeen Mohammad, head Bank Fraud Investigation Unit.
Offices and individuals petitioned include EFCC, President Muhammadu Buhari, Secretary of State to the United State, John Kerry, United States Attorney General’s Office and United States Institute of Peace.

Ambassador Sarki was accused by Persons with Disabilities International of “knowingly or deliberately and intelligently conspiring with Alhaji Abdulrauf Olarenwaju Iliasu to engage into corruption and defrauding Innocent Nigerian Investors of more than 4 billion Naira.”
Elombah.com gathered that Ambassador Sarki was ordered to appear before the EFCC on September 8, 2015. However, in order to avert the popularity that might follow the invitation, he went to the EFCC earlier.
Incidentally, his accusers, some of the Nigerians Investors defrauded were at the EFCC Office to file official complaint about Alhaji Iliasu’s continued fraudulent acts, after being released on bail by the EFCC and promptly invited journalists.
During interrogation, Ambassador Usman Sarki informed the EFCC that he visited their office earlier than September 8, 2015, because he will be busy preparing for the UN General Assembly Meeting and President Buhari’s first visit to the assembly, which will take place at the UN Headquarters New York, from September 24-27, 2015.
It could be recalled that his accused accomplice, Alhaji Abdulrauf Iliasu was earlier sent packing from him Aso Rock residence and subsequently arrested by the EFCC but was granted bail while the case lingers in court.
Speaking about the upcoming UN Assembly, President of Persons with Disabilities International, Chief Eric Ufom condemned the fact that Ambassador Sarki will be in the team of Nigerians that will welcome President Buhari to the US.
He stated: “It is sad that this same known and recognized Nigerians Diplomat, who knowingly or deliberately and intelligently conspired with Alhaji Iliasu to commit grievous diplomatic rape and blunder that brought huge embarrassment and shame to Nigeria, is the same person that will be champion and receiving, President Buhari, whose main mission is to ‘Fight Against Corruption’.
“It is sad and very unfortunate that this same Ambassador Usman Sarki that knowingly or deliberately and intelligently conspired with Alhaji Iliasu to engage into corrupt and fraudulent acts, with the names of poor and helpless, more than 25.5 Million, long-neglected or ignored Nigerians with Disabilities, continued to represent Nigeria at this very important United Nations.”
Chief Ufom, therefore, expressed strong wish that President Buhari and his advisers should order Ambassador Usman Sarki’s immediate recall back to Nigeria for more questioning.

Nigerians With Disabilities in Diaspora Pleads with President Buhari for the Immediate Resignation of the EFCC Boss Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde Due to His Deliberate Failure to Charge and Prosecute Alhaji Abdul-Rauf Olarenwaju and Ambassador Usman Sarki’s For Corruptions and Fraud
(WASHINGTON-DC: JULY 23, 2015) – Today, the Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari his delegation ends 3 days official visit to Washington, DC and leaves the United States for Nigeria.
While speaking at the recently concluded, United States Institute of Peace, organized conversation, on Wednesday, July 22, 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari had strongly emphasized that, “The fight against corruption is a full time job that the Federal Government will carry with sustained resolve. I have always maintained zero tolerance for corruption. I am even more committed to fighting this number one enemy decisively because I am convinced beyond any shadow of a doubt that the much needed impetus for our country’s survival is held back by corruption. I will not allow this to continue.”
For decades, Nigeria’s endemic corruptions became an incurable cancer in the Nigerian society. This, has been successfully, passed on from one Nigerian Generation, to another with impunity and without fear of being charged or prosecuted, by the EFCC and other law enforcement agencies; and which today, President Buhari has truly, declared fully time war against corruption.
“The government will plug the leakages that fuel corruption in Nigeria,” continued President Buhari.
It is very unfortunate that, Nigerians in a very high government, Business, Banking and other positions, who Nigerians trusted, were the actual people, who unprofessionally, unethically and immorally, has been directly or indirectly, involved in perfecting and legalizing, corruption in Nigeria. This made it harder and almost impossible for Nigeria to successfully, monitor and combat those endemic corruptions being committed by those in power, whose duties are to stop it.
H.E. Ambassador Usman Sarki, Deputy Permanent Representative, Permanent Mission of Nigeria to the United Nations, who for decades, has been a career diplomat, unprofessionally, undiplomatically, unethically and immorally, knowingly or deliberately and intelligently conspired with Alhaji Abdul-Rauf Olarenwaju Iliasu, and used the Office of the Permanent Mission of Nigeria to the United Nations Headquarters New York, names of Nigerians with Disabilities, United Nations, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Developments, Head of civil service of the Federation, Offices of the Special Advisers to the Former President Jonathan on Ethics and Values, to engage in corrupt practices.
H.E. Ambassador Prof. U. Joy Ogwu, Permanent Representative, Permanent Mission of Nigeria to the United Nations, advices Nigerians with Disabilities Living in the United States and their DPOs, Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities International, Inc, and the Joint National Association of Persons with Disabilities of Nigeria in the Diaspora, USA, to always come and register any of their inventions or programs or projects for Nigeria, at the Permanent Mission of Nigeria to the United States New York before going to Nigeria to execute it.
On October, 2012, and thereafter, Nigerians with Disabilities Living in the United and their DPOs, officially presented to President Goodluck Jonathan and his administration, through the Permanent Mission of Nigeria to the United Nations, represented by Ambassador Usman Sarki, program to establish, Disability-Inclusive Community-Bases Institute of Rehabilitation Centers for independence Living, Post-Polio Clinic and wellness through the 6 Geographical Zones of Nigeria.
Ambassador Usman Sarki, recruited Alhaji Abdulrauf Olarenwaju Iliasu through his Brother Alhaji Shetima, to take charge of representing him in establishing and executing our program or project mentioned above, Emphasis added to criminal act of, “Theft of Intellectual Property.”
On July 17, 2013, during the 5th Session of the UN Conference of State Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, H.E. Ambassador Usman Sarki, who is the Deputy Permanent Representative, Permanent Mission of Nigeria to the United Nations, while representing the Federal Republic of Nigeria at this UN General Assembly, used that forum to jump start his unprofessional, undiplomatic, unethical and immoral intent to fraudulently use the names of Nigerians with Disabilities, in conspiracy with Alhaji Abdulrauf Olarenwaju Iliasu, to engage into corruptions, where he stated;
“In order to make life meaningful for Nigerians living with disabilities, the Government has approved the construction of a National Rehabilitation Institute and Resource Centre. When Completed, the Centre is expected to become a hub for the West-African Region in the area of research pertaining to the rehabilitation of persons with disabilities.”
Ambassador Sarki, who was fully aware that there was no such approval made by the Federal Republic of Nigeria or its agencies to construct a National Rehabilitation Institute and Resource Center, nor was there any kind of meeting held by the Government to establish such center, and Ambassador Usman Sarki knew that he cannot be able to produce any kind of munities of meeting where such discussion and decision took place, but he knowingly or deliberately and intelligently, mislead and misinformed the world with such wrong information, due to his selfish reasons to commit fraud with his statement.
On December 3, 2013, Alhaji Abdulrauf Olarenwaju Iliasu, attended the International Day of Persons with Disability event at Abuja, with the intent to recruit Nigerians with Disabilities for use in perfecting their fraud. He wasted no time to succeed in recruiting some, which he used to establish within ten days, Federal Civil Service Staff with Disabilities Multipurpose Cooperative Society, at Abuja Nigeria.
Alhaji AbdulRauf Olarenwaju Iliasu, thereafter, successfully, defrauded innocent, Nigerian investors, who wanted to help rehabilitate and take care of Nigerians with Disabilities, more than 3 billion Naira, by convincing them, with the copy of Ambassador Usman Sarki’s July 17, 2013, statement at the UN Headquarters, New York.
Unsuspecting Nigerian Investors paid Billions of Naira, to Alhaji Abdulraud Olarenwaju Iliasu and his Federal Civil Services Staff with Disabilities Multipurpose Cooperative Society’s United Bank of Africa (UBA) account # 677236-1 and Zenith Bank with the captions of;
“Federal Civil Services Staff with Disabilities Multipurpose Cooperative Society
The Presidency Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Abuja
Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria”
Through the aforementioned Alhaji Iliasu’s address, with the words, “The Presidency…,” our Nigerian unsuspecting investors were unaware that Alhaji Iliasu, has nothing to do with the Presidency or Former President Goodluck Jonathan.
EFCC investigative staff, Mr. Ibrahim, Phone numbers, 08065755551, 08095755551, 08085585551, Mr. Titus of the ICPC, Phone number 08170000670, ICPC Mr. Emmanuel Phone Number 08058849737, Mr. Sunday Obua of the IGP Office Phone number 08033129778 and the National Human Rights Commission Mr. Omodara phone number 08034104538, did excellent jobs, by conducting very successfully through and extensive investigations, showing valid, debatable and veriable volumes or mountains of evidence and proves beyond reasonable doubt, which established prima facie entitlements for Ahjai Abdulraud Olarenwaju Iliasu and Ambassador Usman Sarki to be arrested, charged and prosecuted for knowingly or deliberately and intelligently conspiring with each other to engage in corruptions and defrauding unsuspecting innocent Nigerians investors of billions of Naira.
Pastor Emmanuel Oguntuyi, Head of Chancry, Permanent Mission of Nigeria to the United Nations, Headquarters New York and the Mission’s Attorney of records, also conducted their investigation, as organized by Ambassador Usman Sarki for use in covering himself up, but then, Pastor Oguntuyi, who is a Priest refused to cover up the crime and wrote good report. His New York Phone number is; 6462709737.
Dr. Sarah Jibril, Special Adviser to the Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Ethics and Values and the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, issued, published disclaimers by several Nigerian Newspapers, against Alhaji Iliasu, for using their office to defraud innocent Nigerian investors.
Alhaji Iliasu, knowingly or deliberately, impersonated that he was the Special Assistant to the Special Adviser to the Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Ethics and Values. He successfully, defrauded unsuspecting Nigerian investor of 40 Million Naira. Dr. Sarah Jibril, as soon as she became aware of this fraud, turned Alhaji Iliasu to the IGP Office of the Fraud taskforce, who arrested and charged him. Alhaji Iliasu was convicted and sent to Prison. He was thereafter bailed out of Prison by Justice Begore. This case is still pending at Abuja Court and Alhaji Iliasu refused to appear before the Judge, when ORDERED several times to Appear before the Judge.
In fact, several Uniformed Nigerian Police Officers, protects Alhaji Iliasu and roams the streets of Nigeria with him on a daily bases with a motor convoy and serine
The EFCC Boss, Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde, who has been fully aware of these known and recognized corrupt practices, committed by Ambassador Sarki and Alhaji Iliasu, but he, knowingly or deliberately looked the other way; and has failed to bring them to justice, same ways that he just started to drastically, bring similar valid cases to justice.
The EFCC Boss, in dealing with these serious issues of constitutional concerns, for Nigerians with Disabilities, he knowingly and deliberately, engaged, himself into discrimination against people with disabilities, disparate treatments, stonewalling of true investigations, obstruction of justice, concealing and covering up facts, and selective enforcements of the EFCC rules and regulations; and the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crime Law.
Mr. Lamorde grossly, violated the mandates set by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), signed by Nigerian on March 31, 2007 and ratified on September 24, 2010.
Nigerians with Disabilities Living in the United States, led by Chief Eric Ndubueze Ufom, are pleading with President Muhammadu Buhari for the EFCC boss, Mr. Lamorde, to resign or be replaced with a new EFCC Credible Boss, immediately for failure to arrest, charge and prosecute, Alhaji Abdul-Rauf Olarenwaju Iliasu and Ambassador Usman Sarki, same ways others were addressed.
Nigeria in one of the World’s richest oil and gas producing Nations, by with huge pockets of poverty because of Nigeria’s known and recognized endemic corruptions.
More than 25.5 Million long-neglected or ignored and marginalized, poor and helpless, Nigerians with disabilities, directly, suffers from the consequences of Nigeria’s known and recognized endemic corruptions.
Today, Nigerians with Disabilities, were wrongfully, being classified and called terrorists by their Government, who forcefully removed them off the streets of Kaduna State and other states of Nigeria because of Nigeria’s terrorism and endemic corruptions, which they do not have any hand on, but for Mr. Lamorde & others, failure to do their jobs right

Burkina Faso’s military government has halted a malaria eradication project backed by billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates and his foundation.
The project, run by the research consortium Target Malaria, focused on releasing genetically modified mosquitoes into the environment to help eradicate malaria.
On Friday, authorities ordered Target Malaria to immediately suspend all operations in the West African nation.
The move marks yet another clash between the government and international non-governmental organizations, many of which have faced intense restrictions under military rule.
The decision sparked heated reactions from civil society groups. Opponents of the project argue that Burkina Faso should focus on safer and more traditional solutions rather than experimenting with controversial genetic technologies.
A spokesperson for a coalition campaigning against the project stated that citizens “deserve protection through proven health measures, not risky experiments.”
Target Malaria, however, defended its work.
The group insisted that since 2012, it has complied with Burkina Faso’s national laws and worked closely with local authorities.
It expressed readiness to cooperate further with the government despite the sudden suspension.
The project has faced criticism not only within Burkina Faso but also internationally.
It became the target of online disinformation campaigns that claimed the genetically modified mosquitoes posed unforeseen dangers to the ecosystem.
While the first release of such mosquitoes took place in 2019, the long-term effects remain under global scientific debate.
Burkina Faso, one of the ten countries most affected by malaria, recorded more than eight million cases in 2024 alone.
The disease remains one of the leading causes of death in the country, particularly among children under five.
Supporters of the Target Malaria initiative argue that innovation is crucial to ending this deadly cycle, but critics fear it could introduce new risks.
This ban comes amid wider tensions between the military rulers and international organizations.
Since seizing power nearly three years ago, Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s administration has increasingly tightened control over foreign-funded NGOs.
In recent months, the government revoked the licenses of at least 21 groups, accusing some of pushing foreign agendas and destabilizing national sovereignty.
Analysts see the latest crackdown as part of a broader trend. Burkina Faso’s rulers are distancing the country from Western-backed projects while strengthening ties with alternative global partners.
However, the sudden halt to malaria research may come at a cost, as the country continues to battle one of the world’s deadliest diseases.
For now, the future of genetically modified mosquito projects in Burkina Faso remains uncertain.
The debate highlights the sharp divide between innovation and caution, science and politics, as the country balances urgent health needs with national sovereignty concerns
The candidate of the Young Progressive Party (YPP) in the November Governorship election in Anambra State, Sir Paul Chukwuma, on Friday joined a peaceful march against the intimidation and abuse meted out to Ndi Anambra by operatives of Udogachi and SASA through misuse of governmental authority.
Udogachi, a security outfit created by the Soludo-led Government and the SASA, an anti-touting agency otherwise known as Ndi Akodo, which is notorious for using pestles on citizens, have come under intense scrutiny owing to the numerous clips of their abuses against the people.
In the past week, operatives of Udogachi have come under serious criticism for manhandling a young girl who is a serving youth corps member in Oba, Idemili South LGA of Anambra State.
During the peaceful march against the brutality of Udogachi and SASA, which was organized by Make Anambra Great Again, the YPP Governorship candidate regretted that the governor of Anambra State, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, would allow agencies of the State established to serve the people to become instruments of operation against the same people.
“Anambra is not in a good place today. It affects all of us. We are determined to fix our state,” Paul Chukwuma said while addressing a large crowd at Eke Awka market.
The peaceful march, which commenced from Aroma Junction in Awka, terminated at the Anambra State Police Headquarters in Amawbia, where the group was received by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations, DCP Ibrahim Ezekiel.
At the Anambra State Police Command’s office, Sir Paul Chukwuma addressed the DCP and listed some of the reasons for the peaceful march, which include the abuse meted out to innocent citizens by Udogachi and SASA.
He also called on the police to rise up to their responsibilities, while assuring them of support from Ndi Anambra.
“The responsibility placed on the government in terms of protection of lives and properties is well spelt out in the constitution. In Anambra today, we are experiencing what is a negation of the position of the law. We know the agencies of government that are saddled with the responsibility of ensuring law and order in our state. Anambra State is still part of Nigeria as a sub-national entity. We are experiencing something that has never happened in the history of Anambra State…with what is happening today, we are beginning to wonder if the Nigerian Police Force has abdicated their responsibility and duty to Ndi Anambra. Today, we have experienced a litany of what we call an aberration to the protocol of such organization and agency (Udogachi and SASA). A lot of heinous crimes are being perpetrated in Anambra State by the so-called security outfit Udogachi. We don’t have anything against establishing such an outfit. But we are of the opinion that such outfits, when established, must abide by the rule of law,” Chukwuma said.
Reacting, DCP Ibrahim Ezekiel, who stood in for the Commissioner of Police, assured Paul Chukwuma and the group that the issues raised would be addressed by working with all stakeholders.
Speaking on behalf of the group, Nkem Mbonu, the group’s coordinator, said that the group had articulated three clear demands from their engagements with the people of Anambra State.
The demands include: an investigation into cases of missing persons in Anambra State. Secondly, an investigation into the alleged secret cells of Udogachi in Awka and Onitsha. Finally, the assumption of full security of the state by the police, as well as the disbandment of SASA.
The walk, which covered about seven kilometers, was well received by thousands of Anambra residents, who expressed their disapproval of the modus operandi of Udogachi and SASA operatives.

VIRAL VIDEO: Moment Yahaya Bello Orders Kogi State House Members to Sit on Floor, Gives Strict Directives
A viral video circulating on social media has captured former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello making newly elected State House of Assembly member, Hassan Shado, and his supporters sit on the floor during a meeting in Abuja.
The meeting took place at Bello’s residence on Monday, where he received members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to discuss party unity and responsibilities.
Shado, who won the Dekina-Okura II State Constituency by-election on August 16, was formally presented to the former governor.
INEC declared Shado the winner after he polled 55,073 votes, defeating Godwin Meliga of the PDP, who garnered 1,038 votes.
During the session, Bello emphasized that Shado must strictly obey the directives of Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo in all legislative matters.
He drew his ear to stress the importance of cooperation, warning the lawmaker to align with Assembly decisions even when he did not fully understand them.
Bello said, “Go and cooperate with the Speaker and other members of the House of Assembly. Support Governor Ododo in everything that comes to the Assembly, even if you don’t understand it.”
Bello also reminded Shado that political victories are collective achievements.
He stated, “No candidate wins an election alone. Your people worked tirelessly from nomination to election day. Do not let them down.”
He urged inclusivity, consultation, and collective leadership, emphasizing that unity remains the key to APC’s continued success in Kogi State.
The former governor praised the people of Kogi East for demonstrating unity, which he said had been lacking in the past.
He further expressed confidence that APC would retain all major political positions in upcoming elections, declaring, “Our President, Bola Tinubu, will be re-elected.
Governor Ododo will be re-elected. All our candidates will continue to win on our great party’s platform.”
Bello’s post-governorship period has been marked by controversy.
The EFCC accused him of diverting over N110 billion from Kogi State coffers during his tenure.
He evaded multiple court summons and even a failed arrest in Abuja that led to a shootout. Ultimately, Bello surrendered to the EFCC on November 26, 2024, after months of avoiding legal proceedings.
Despite his legal troubles, Bello maintains influence over APC lawmakers in Kogi and continues to assert political authority, as shown in the recent video with Shado.

The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, has urged all Nigerians to acquire combat skills such as Karate, Taekwondo, and Judo to protect themselves in the face of increasing danger.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Thursday, August 21, General Musa likened learning martial arts to other essential survival skills, including driving and swimming.
“That one should be taken as learning driving, learning how to swim.
Whether we have war or not, it is a survival instinct,” he said.
He added that in Europe, swimming and basic security education are compulsory because citizens must understand and practice personal safety.
The defence chief emphasised that the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) should incorporate unarmed combat training into its programme to prepare graduates for real-world threats.
He explained, “That’s what the NYSC is supposed to do, but the NYSC has been watered down to three weeks. Self-defence is very important.
Unarmed combat, swimming, driving these are critical aspects of human survival. We should never take them for granted because they prepare us for the future.”
General Musa further encouraged Nigerians to remain situationally aware of their environment, alerting authorities to any suspicious activities or individuals.
He said, “The world we are in now is dangerous. We have individuals who don’t mean people well. They kill for whatever reason.”
Highlighting evolving threats, General Musa disclosed that terrorists increasingly use gold to finance their operations.
He noted that complex international networks make it difficult to immediately expose or prosecute these financiers. “Gold is the main source.
They circulate it through various channels, including foreign links, which complicates intervention,” he explained.
General Musa acknowledged that bad roads and challenging terrains hinder rapid military response to attacks.
He said, “Many Nigerians expect immediate intervention from the Armed Forces without understanding the logistical challenges. By the time information reaches us, terrorists have already struck and vanished because they move more quickly in these regions.”
He added that improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in the North-East further slow troop movement.
Regarding the Southeast, General Musa noted that the arrest of pro-Biafran agitator Simon Ekpa in Finland in November 2024 has improved security in the region.
He said, “Troops are actively pursuing Ekpa’s lieutenants in Imo, Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi, and Abia states. We will continue operations until all threats are neutralised.”
The CDS also praised the synergy among the Nigerian Army, Air Force, and Navy, which led to the arrest of Ansaru terrorist leaders, describing it as a major success in the fight against terrorism.
General Musa concluded by announcing an African Chiefs of Defence Staff conference to foster continental collaboration and enhance regional security efforts.
Detectives from the Akwa Ibom State Police Command have arrested a man posing as a medical doctor following the death of a 35-year-old woman, Blessing Sunday Etim, during an alleged illegal abortion.
The suspect, identified as Sunday Okon Akpan, reportedly owns and operates the Full Life Medical Centre (FLMC) in Ikot Obio Odongo, Ibesikpo Asutan Local Government Area.
Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Timfon John, the spokesperson for the Akwa Ibom Police Command, revealed that police launched a search for the victim after receiving a distress call from her mother.
DSP John stated that operatives acted quickly following the report, which indicated that Blessing had gone to work at the FLMC and never returned.
According to police reports, the suspect attempted to secretly dispose of the victim’s body in her room.
A co-tenant, who witnessed the act, raised an alarm, forcing the suspect to abandon the corpse and flee the scene.
Police quickly arrived at the scene, where detectives discovered a premature foetus, confirming the occurrence of an illegal abortion.
Police traced and arrested Sunday Okon Akpan, a resident of Afaha Offiong village, Nsit Ibom LGA.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspect is not a licensed medical doctor or nurse but a community health practitioner who allegedly used his clinic to perform illegal medical procedures, including abortions.
The health centre has since been found abandoned.
DSP John confirmed that the victim’s body has been deposited at a morgue for preservation and autopsy, while investigations continue to uncover more details surrounding the incident.
She also promised to update the public as the probe progresses.
This shocking incident highlights the dangers of unlicensed medical practitioners operating clinics and offering illegal procedures.
Police authorities are warning residents to verify the credentials of anyone offering medical services and to report suspicious activities to prevent similar tragedies.
As the investigation unfolds, Akwa Ibom police have vowed to ensure that justice is served, and the public remains safe from unqualified medical practitioners operating in the state.
