Speaking further in a video posted by AIT, Henry Shield stated that just as the federal government comes on television to acknowledge people, these culprits should be brought on television so that Nigerians can see the people who are killing the country. He expressed bitterness, saying, What kind of mind would one have to steal the money meant for the vulnerable, the poor people? He further stated that if it were China the day or two, we would not hear of them again.
According to him, “Someone moved 37.1 billion Naira, and according to the EFCC, about 600 million Naira in cash was withdraw at Zone 4, Abuja. The culprit built a house in Enugu State with money meant for vulnerable people, people who cannot work, people who have no hope, and they had the audacity to move such money. It is not enough that these particular individuals be punished; their names must be stroked off our national register. The way we acknowledge people and give them GCON and CON and the rest, we must also begin to identify the people that are killing us.” CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
