Since news broke that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn its 14 count charge filed against former Minister of Petroleum, Diezani Madueke, Nigerians haven’t stopped reacting.
The EFCC was also said to have dropped the charges against Ben Otti, Nnamdi Okonkwo, Stanley Lawson, Lanre Adesanya, and Dauda Lawal, all of whom are former officials of commercial banks and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
Micro-blogging platform, Twitter, has been buzzing non stop with many reacting to the news.
See some of their reactions below:
If you watch ‘House of Cards’, you will definitely understand the nitty-gritty of Diezani, GEJ, Bayelsa Governorship and APC. Don’t be deceived Nigerians. It’s all politics, games!

Nigerians are really reinforcing the govt’s stance on regulating the social media.A simple headline that EFCC has withdrawn 14 charges against Diezani but will prosecute her & others on 4 amended charges & everyone has gone to town with the news that all charges have been dropped

@officialEFCC dropped charges against Dizeani after APC grabbed Bayelsa. Some people did not even know that Diezani is from Bayelsa state, related to Goodluck Jonathan.
You are left guess why the charges we’re dropped.

If this is true that the EFCC has dropped all corruption charges on Diezani, this simply means the @officialEFCC are jokers, they only show power when they want to arrest or prosecute yahoo boys. The main yahoo boys are the politicians and the so called efcc.

What is good for Danjuma Goje and Musiliu Obanikoro is good for Diezani Alison-Madueke
The EFCC is now applying federal character in its pardon
