    If Bankole is not brought to book all EFCC workers should be probed and investigated, The Grape Vine was that Bankole has greased thier palms and they have twisted the facts of the case. We hear it is the PRACTICE in even the UPPER House to Shear Public funds , why Bankole's case was diffrent was that he Steped on Toes should it be so?? We are waiting.............. You all fraud stars You have only said to us that our VOTES are useless, We are waiting for your second coming, Patrick Yomi Ofarn London
