  2. How did he manage to leave at the airport; why was he allowed to board? EFCC should ask the US to extradite him back to Naija.

  3. Make una allow the sleeping dog to lie. The man is broke now cos the money he alledgely looted has been spent for long. Let us first get the over N100 billion that Ibrahim Idris stole and from that we can pursue the N4 billion stolen and spent by Audu.
