Their mission is to go after financial criminals, and it seems they are actually trying to do it. CHUBA OKADIGBO Former president of Nigeria's national senate (1999-2000). He was impeached over a corruption issue and had to step down from the presidency, but stayed in the Senate until 2003. Then he ran (unsuccessfully) for national vice president on the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) slate, but lost to the current president Obasanjo's People's Democratic Party (PDP). Okadigbo died in 2003. He had been teargassed at a rally a few days before. Maybe this is what "Mrs. Okadigbo" refers to below.
