Falana’s latest press push is all about getting back the massive *₦210 trillion* that an audit report says was siphoned from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) into the Federation Account. He’s calling for a full Senate‑led investigation, the prosecution of the 400‑plus alleged terror financiers still walking free, and for that huge sum to be funneled straight into social programmes that could ease the hardship millions are feeling ¹ ² ³.
He’s not just shouting numbers for effect—Falana points to the same audit that showed the alleged diversion, arguing that putting that money back into the system could fund everything from school feeding to cash transfers. At the same time, he’s keeping the pressure on the government to finally bring those terror‑financing suspects to court, saying the ongoing impunity only fuels insecurity.
So, in short: Falana wants the *₦210 trillion* (roughly $210 trillion at current exchange rates) returned, an investigation launched, and the funds earmarked for anti‑poverty programmes. The ball’s now in the Senate’s court and the EFCC’s hands to see if any of this turns into real action.
