Respectfully there was significant and well‑documented corruption during Goodluck Jonathan’s administration (2010–2015).
However, no single number exists for “how many” corruption cases because corruption occurred across multiple sectors, ministries, and agencies. What we can rely on are documented patterns, investigations, and academic studies.
What the evidence shows about corruption under Jonathan
Corruption was widespread and systemic
Multiple academic and policy studies describe corruption during Jonathan’s era as “endemic,” “astronomical,” and deeply embedded in government operations.
These studies highlight:
Diversion of public funds
Ghost workers
Police extortion
Port and passport office bribery
Election irregularities
Missing oil revenue
Slow, corrupt bureaucratic processes
These were not isolated incidents — they were systemic.
EFCC struggled to fight corruption during Jonathan’s tenure
Research on the EFCC under Jonathan shows:
The EFCC faced political interference
Anti‑corruption efforts were limited in effectiveness
Public trust in anti‑corruption institutions declined
This means corruption cases existed, but enforcement was weak.
Bottom line number of confirmed corruption arrests under Tinubu is 1
Name: Mustapha Abdullahi
Amount involved: ₦500 billion
Status: Ongoing EFCC investigation
