In a letter addressed to Senator Neda Usman, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Code of Conduct and Public Petitions, the Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre (RULAAC) has issued a pointed reminder concerning its unresolved petition from December 9, 2024.
The petition alleges serial fraud and institutional collusion linked to Mrs. Titilayo Mary Eboh, with complicity from personnel within the Nigeria Police Force and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Signed by RULAAC’s Executive Director, Mr. Okechukwu Nwanguma, the letter decries the Senate’s prolonged silence for more than seven months since the petition was acknowledged, stating that no visible action has been taken to probe the “weighty issues raised.”
RULAAC’s petition details accusations including: Multiple multi-billion naira fraud schemes allegedly orchestrated by Mrs. Eboh, Alleged compromise and collusion by officers of the IRT, FCID Alagbon, and EFCC, Reports of extortion, unlawful detention, and harassment of victims such as Mr. Chinedu Ngwaka and a female bank employee in Anambra, Bribery and the shielding of suspects by law enforcement operatives and A persistent pattern of impunity is damaging public trust.
The letter warns that continued inaction sends a dangerous message—implying that justice can be sidestepped by those with influence. RULAAC is now renewing its call for the Senate Committee to launch a formal investigation into the petition, obtain investigation updates from relevant agencies, examine the conduct of implicated officers for misconduct and obstruction, recommend restitution for victims, including the release of frozen accounts and return of seized assets and ensure disciplinary measures against any officer found culpable.
“RULAAC remains confident in the National Assembly’s duty to check executive excesses and defend citizens’ rights,” the letter concludes. “We urge your Committee not to let this case be buried in silence and neglect.”
