Allegations Of Fraud Against Okiro Smear Campaign – NGO

Mike-OkiroA non-governmental organization known as People United For Societal Harmony, PUSH, yesterday in Lagos, described the recent allegation of financial impropriety leveled against the Chairman of Police Service Commission, PSC, Sir Mike Okiro, as not only ill-motivated but aimed at smearing his sterling and unrivalled records.

The NGO also decried allegations of threats to the life of the petitioner stating that it was a clear case of “guilty conscience of a drowning man wanting to pull as many reeds as possible”.

In a statement jointly signed by the Director-General and Coordinating Secretary, Dr. Sylvanus Ujumandu and Mrs. Sade Jaiyesimi respectively, the PUSH noted that Okiro served in the Nigeria Police Force and got to the peak as the Inspector-General after which he meritoriously retired without a dent on his records.

“We are, however, pained and piqued that apart from the incontestable fact that the said petition of alleged financial fraud against Okiro emanating from a non-account staff of the commission, Aaron Kaase, was not only lacking in truth but spurious, ill-motivated and purely aimed at smearing his sterling and unrivalled records.

“The petitioner was arrested and arraigned for allegedly collecting various amount of money from unsuspecting persons under the guise of helping them to procure Visa to some European countries. In such circumstance, the normal thing for any organisation whose staff was fingered in such corrupt and sharp practices is to suspend the suspect and allow free and unhindered investigation and that was done in the case under review”.

  1. This hired agents will forever amuse me with falsehood. Aaron Kaase is our hero no matter how much you have been paid to smear his name. Is not the same Okiro that forged his late wife’s signature to obtain a loan from the defunct Lead Bank and NDIC was chasing him everywhere? I also know as fact that Aaron Kaase did collect money from anybody to procure visa. Has the PSC ever come out to say he used official files and documents to obtain visa? If the answer is no, why did the issue suddenly come up when he wrote a petition in May. We know all this cheap blackmail using pseudo names and NGOs. It’s a pity that a time when we should all join hands to fight corruption, some hungry dogs are still be used to smear the name of an upright person fightin corruption. Okiro go and tell the anti graft agencies how many staff u have and whether u collected money and did not travel as alleged and stop wasting PSC money on write ups that will not help u.

  2. Information whatever, if u like delete my posts but Okiro is not clean. Ask NDIC whether he has paid the debt he forged his wife’s signature to obtain without paying. Tell him and the NGOs and hungry people writing on his behalf that the best place to tell his stories are EFCC and ICPC and not this deceit.
