Recent removal of Negative content

Did WP:BOLD removing those negative edits. A clear case of WP:ATTACK and against WP:BLP policy. WP:BLP states : Biographies of living persons ("BLPs") must be written conservatively and with regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives; the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment.

What you are doing has nothing to do with WP:BOLD. You are removing well referenced relevant information from an article while Wikipedia:GAMETHESYSTEM. Please refrain from vandalizing the Wikipedia. The segments you are removing are based on facts which have been published at The Guardian. It was a discussed topic in Nigerian politics and it should remain there in the article. Are you trying to make the article look like a CV? Also please refrain from alleging wrong things and Wikipedia:GAMETHESYSTEM. 103.234.38.162 (talk) 05:42, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Persistent Vandalism on this Page removing well sourced information again and again

Some users are consistently removing highly sourced information from the page. There may be COI involved. The claim may be removing 'negative' information but there have been enough coverage to these scams and fraud including coverages from Punch, BBC News, The Guardian and all Nigerian national news papers. Removing the highly covered fraud and scams may make the article look partial, a wikipedia article should not be partial. 103.234.38.162 (talk) 21:40, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not revert referenced information about the person based on WP:RS without enough explanation. 103.234.38.162 (talk) 19:35, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Don't forget to follow WP:BRD. Your additions to this page are simply not how we summarize things, we just neutrally summarize major aspects of people's careers, your additions read more like attacks. What was the outcome of this investigation? Investigators freeze accounts all the time, this freeze was made a year ago. Be mindful of WP:DUE, some things are worth mentioning but not really worth writing more than 50 words about. – Thjarkur (talk) 21:40, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding this section...

=== Governor of Lagos State ===

On 1 March 2017, the governor Ambode's administration made a deal with private foreign-owned waste management company, Visionscape, to take charge of the activities of waste management in Lagos state.^[1]^[2] The governor's action was criticized for his decision to dump Lagos State Waste Management Authority ( LAWMA) the state-owned agency created for the management of waste disposal.^[1]

In 2019, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had secured a court mandate to freeze N9.9 billion belonging to the Lagos state government and which were linked to Ambode.^[3]^{[relevance? outcome?]}

O'n-O'nik Should it appear as is on the article? Relevance of part of that section is debated. As Thjarkur noted, it is common for investigators to freeze accounts. Israell (talk) 08:07, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
