Rejoinder: Scavengers Cart Away $4 Million from $76 Million Cash Haul Stockpiled in Abuja Apartment by Aisha Odariko and Ex-Perm Sec Mohammed Kyari
Rejoinder: Scavengers Cart Away $4 Million from $76 Million Cash Haul Stockpiled in Abuja Apartment by Aisha Odariko and Ex-Perm Sec Mohammed Kyari
The Northeast Concerned Citizens have read with dismay a publication made by the Peoples Gazette with the above headline, indicting our son, Dr. Muhammad Kyari Dikwa, on corruption and public fraud claims.
We strongly wish to state that the report is riddled with irresponsible falsehoods and fabrications, which we have exposed for the reading and thinking public to see.
First and foremost, if the allegation of money being piled up in a residential building were true, then the narrative presented by the Peoples Gazette strongly suggests that the media organization was among the so-called scavengers who perpetrated the robbery operation, using this story to divert attention from the authorities’ investigation.
Secondly, it is suspicious how the Peoples Gazette arrived at the conclusion that Dr. Muhammad Kyari Dikwa owned the claimed stockpiled loot or had an affair with NDIC manager Aisha Odariko based solely on the statement provided by her driver, who was found by the police to have led the criminal gang in breaking into a residential property in Apo District of Abuja.
The Peoples Gazette unwittingly displayed the clear political motivation behind this report when it listed Dr. Dikwa’s achievements: “Mr. Kyari Dikwa’s public profile touted his role in fostering enduring government reforms such as the introduction of the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS), Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS), Treasury Single Account (TSA), Asset Tracing Team (ATT), Whistleblowing Policy, Fiscal Sustainability Plan (FSP), and Strategic Revenue Growth Initiative (SRGI), among others. They also mentioned his involvement in revenue management and serving as a director of funds at the Federal Ministry of Finance. In the private sector, they referenced his work experience at Transcorp Hilton and the Transition Company of Nigeria…”
This particular excerpt from the story reveals the organization’s clear bias rather than a genuine investigation into corruption of public interest. Notably, the report failed to mention the name of the security agency responsible for investigating the alleged stockpiled looted public funds. The purported scavengers are now at large, having escaped from prison custody. The story is rife with inconsistencies, leading one to suspect that this is indeed corruption fighting back. Otherwise, we see no reason why an incident that they alleged occurred in 2020 is now being repackaged and circulated.
Many Nigerians can attest to the extent of the loopholes regarding ghost workers and other forms of massive public corruption within the civil service, which Dr. Dikwa’s initiatives had addressed in Nigerian public institutions.
Throughout his career as a civil and public servant, Dr. Dikwa has not been indicted for any form of corruption, and no money was reported missing under his watch.
Consequently, he has received numerous national and international service awards in recognition of his excellence.
Through this medium, the Northeast Concerned Citizens implore the Peoples Gazette to retract this false, malicious report and refrain from willfully damaging the character of our sons who have served this nation with dedication and perseverance. It is imperative that Nigerian media regulatory agencies and the government intervene to prevent such irresponsible use of the media.
Signed,
Amb. Umar Mohammad
National President, Northeast Concerned Citizens in Abuja

A Life of Purpose: My 50-year Journey of Impact, Gratitude and Philanthropy – By Aare Adetola Olaniyi Emmanuelking
A Life of Purpose: My 50-year Journey of Impact, Gratitude and Philanthropy – By Aare Adetola Olaniyi Emmanuelking
The 2nd of April holds a profound significance for me. This year marks a momentous milestone – my 50th birthday—a celebration of half a century filled with rich experiences and impactful contributions. In stark contrast to the jubilant celebrations of my 40th birthday, which saw the streets of Lagos alive with revelry, I have chosen a path of humility and gratitude to observe this occasion. I plan to reflect quietly on my journey and offer heartfelt thanks to my creator for the many blessings I have received.
My life story is truly remarkable. The inspiration for my thriving real estate business was born during a particularly challenging period—while I was recuperating in a hospital. It was then that I envisioned a venture that would transform the housing landscape in Nigeria and beyond. Today, that vision has flourished into a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate, and I have dedicated myself to providing affordable housing solutions. My work has significantly impacted the lives of countless individuals, turning the once homeless into proud homeowners. My innovative approaches have not only disrupted traditional real estate practices but have also inspired many others in the industry to explore similar pathways.
I remain profoundly grateful to my creator for enabling me to turn my lofty dreams into reality. I have focused my efforts on addressing the pressing issue of housing in Nigeria, crafting affordable home plans that have set a standard many in the industry have sought to emulate. As a trailblazer in the real estate sector, I have become known as the benchmark for real estate business success in Nigeria. Yet, I eschew lavish displays of wealth and grandeur. Rather than inviting praise from my admirers through elaborate festivities, I am instructing friends and associates to express gratitude on my behalf and to redirect their gifts toward charitable endeavors. This philosophy represents what I view as one of the greatest gifts I could receive for my birthday—bringing joy to those in need.
An embodiment of generosity and selflessness, I have intentionally opted against the extravagant celebrations common among billionaires. Instead, I encourage my community to focus their resources on philanthropy during this special time. For me, the opportunity to support and uplift the less fortunate embodies the true spirit of celebration.
In honour of my 50th birthday, I have planned a personal prayer service dedicated to me and my family, which will serve as a moment for reaffirming my commitment to a life devoted to serving God. My gratitude is especially poignant, given the challenges I have overcome. Adversity has met resilience on my journey, and I continuously witness the favour and protection of my creator, which empowers me to thrive despite life’s many obstacles.
Moving beyond personal reflection, I am also initiating plans for widespread communal betterment across Nigeria. I aim to donate substantial infrastructure improvements to underserved communities, making tangible contributions to enhance residents’ lives in significant ways. My commitment is symbolized by my pledge to commission 50 impactful projects nationwide, each representing a part of my dedication to fostering positive change and supporting community development.
While I have plans for a well-deserved retreat with my family beyond Nigeria’s borders, I remain grounded in my values and commitment to my community. As my 50th birthday unfolds, many are gathering to honour me in various ways, a testament to the profound influence I have had on their lives and the societal landscape.
In line with the wisdom of renowned playwright Professor Femi Osofisan, who insightfully noted that birthdays are not merely for the deceased, I truly appreciate the significance of this milestone, especially within a society where the average life expectancy is less than 50 years. I stand as a beacon of humility, gratitude, and an unwavering commitment to improving the lives of others.
Ultimately, as part of my ongoing legacy, I have made it clear that my 50th birthday celebration will revolve around positive societal contributions. Instead of indulging in extravagant expenditures for personal enjoyment, I prioritize investments that will uplift communities across Nigeria. I am determined to ensure that my milestone is marked by meaningful contributions rather than mere indulgence, reaffirming my role as both a property magnate and a dedicated servant to my country and its people.
In conclusion, I want to thank you all for your love, wishes, and prayers. May heaven celebrate you all, too. Amen. Happy 50th birthday 
to me.
