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.
