President Muhammadu Buhari prevented Vice President Yemi Osinbajo from asking the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to look into fraud charges made against him, according to Vice President Osinbajo.
The National Emergency Management Agency’s governing board was indicted in 2018 by the house of representatives’ ad hoc committee on emergency and catastrophe preparedness (NEMA).
A N5.8 billion north-east assistance fund was allegedly improperly approved by the board, which is presided over by Osinbajo.

Additionally in 2020, it was claimed that the vice president had received N4 billion from Ibrahim Magu, the previous acting chairman of the EFCC.
Osinbajo called the allegations “baseless” and invited Mohammed Adamu, a former Inspector-General of Police (IGP), to look into them.
Speaking on Friday at a private dinner to celebrate Buhari’s 80th birthday, Osinbajo said: “One day, I went to him because there were some allegations that were made against me.
“I went to him to show him the letter I’d written to the EFCC to investigate.

“This time he said, ‘VP, why do you worry about all these people? These people just make all sorts of allegations, they make all sorts of stories up, even they are saying that I am about to get married again. And even some foolish people were waiting at the National Mosque, waiting for me to come and marry again,” Osinbajo said.
