Here in Jos, the current anti corruption fight by the buhari administration is selective and tends to target only does that remain vocal and outright critics of government anti-people policies. Jang's predecessor who by the way, jumped bail some years ago in the UK, is still working as a free man simply because he cross carpeted to APC. This is among many other reasons.
