No Bomb Blast Or Attack By Boko Haram In February - Watts75

As everyone attention was shifted to Ese Oruru, no one noticed February came and gone without a single Boko Haram suicide bombing or attack on villages. I think this is the first time in as many years a whole calendar month will come and go with the Boko Haram killing.

Similarly, throughout February, it has been one recorded success to another by the Nigerian military.

NJC Heavily Slams Judge Ofili-ajumogobia, Terminates Promotion Prospects

The National Judicial Council (NJC), chaired by Hon. Justice Mahmud Mohammed has come down with a heavy disciplinary gavel on Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia of the Federal High Court, warning her and putting her on the “Watch-List” of the Council for the next four years.


The judge will also not be considered for any elevation to the Court of Appeal or any Ad-hoc Judicial appointment until she retires from the Bench.

A statement by Soji Oye, the Acting Director of Information [of…], said the decisions were taken at a meeting of the Council held on February 24th and 25th. 

The NJC decisions are a sequel to a petition against her by one Victoria Ayeni alleging misconduct and injustice by Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia for failing to deliver judgment in a pre-election suit between Victoria A. A. Ayeni and Olusola Sonuga and 2 Ors.

SaharaReporters has however learned that Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia has some other undisclosed strikes against her, including obtaining money from former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode to set him free of the corruption charges against him in a case before her.

It would be recalled that last July, Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia discharged and acquitted Fani-Kayode of all the corruption charges against him.  In her dismissal of the charges, she described the prosecution’s case as “feeble”, arguing that it had failed to provide “copious evidence” linking Fani-Kayode with money laundering.

In her petition, Ms. Ayeni had alleged that Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia deliberately adjourned the suit several times until the termination of the life span of the Ogun State House of Assembly, a charge the NJC apparently agreed with.

It has also emerged that Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia struck a deal with the embattled former Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Patrick Akpobolokemi, who is now being tried on various multi-billion Naira corruption charges, to provide employment for her daughter in exchange for covering up his atrocities in court.

The decision of the NJC on Hon. Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia is with immediate effect.

Fraud: EFCC Unveils Criminal Conspiracy Between Corrupt Judges And Rickey Tarfa

Chain Of Fraud: EFCC Unveils Criminal Conspiracy Between Corrupt Judges And Lawyer Rickey Tarfa

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) today in Lagos unveiled a criminal network of collaboration and illicit transfer of funds between Justice H. A. Nganjiwa and Justice M.N. Yunusa, saying that abundant evidence is available as to how the judiciary chieftains obtained and transferred huge sums of money between them.

The startling revelations are contained in a court counter-affidavit by EFCC Special Task Force (STF) member Moses Awolusi in response to an earlier affidavit by Mohammed Awwal Yunusa in the twisting and turning case against senior Lagos lawyer Rickey Tarfa, who is alleged to have bribed Justice M.N. Yunusa with N225,000 to pervert the course of justice.

Tarfa had instituted his case against his arrest by the EFCC in an effort to invoke his fundamental human rights.

About what the EFCC called a ‘chain of fraud’, Mr. Awolusi affirmed: “That through the above network collaboration, the Applicant between 27th June, 2012 and 23rd December 2014 paid the total sum of N5,335,000.00 (Five Million Three Hundred and Thirty Five Thousand Naira only) to Hon. Justice H. A. Nganjiwa’s personal account number domiciled in Fidelity Bank Plc, out of which the said Hon. Justice H. A. Nganjiwa transferred the sum of N1,600,000.00 to Hon. Justice Mohammed Nasiru Yunusa’s personal account No. 1005055617 domiciled with UBA Plc.  A copy of the UBA personal account detail no. 1005055617 of Hon. Justice M.N.Yunusa is shown to me and marked ‘RT 3’.”
He said investigations further revealed that Hon. Justice H. A. Nganjiwa also sent his company (incorporated in 2006) bank details of AWA AJIA NIG. LTD with Account No. 0000971931 domiciled with Access Bank Plc to Mr. Ricky Tarfa.

“That investigation revealed that the Applicant was a referee to AWA AJIA NIG. LTD’s account, a company, belonging to Hon. Justice H.A. Nganjiwa.  Now shown to me and marked RT 4 is a copy of the Account opening details of AWA AJIA NIG LTD owned by Hon. Justice H. A. Nganjiwa through which medium money has been confirmed to be transferred to Hon. Justice M.N. Yunusa’s UBA Account No. 1005055617.”
He also affirmed that as part of this chain of fraud, Mr. Joseph Nwobike also transferred the sum of N300,000.00 to Hon. Justice H. A. Nganjiwa; and Justice M.N. Yunusa received the sum of N750,000.00 from Mr. Joseph Nwobike SAN & Co., showing evidence that the statement of Mr. Nwobike confirmed this payment to Hon. Justice M.N. Yunusa.

Concerning Tarfa’s original N225,000 payment to Justice M.N. Yunusa, the deponent stressed that the cheque issued to the deponent attached as Exhibit ‘E’ was in the name of Mohammed Awwal and not in the name of Honourable M. N. Yunusa and was therefore related to a different transaction entirely.

He also pointed out that in the applicant’s further affidavit deposed to on February 19, he had admitted making the payment of N225,000.00 to Justice Yunusa, and that the circumstance surrounding the payment to the judge relating to the funeral rites his father-in-law was different from the course in which payment was made to the deponent by the Applicant’s law firm.

In a later development, the Federal High Court in Lagos today ruled that Mr. Tarfa can file a further and better affidavit to prove that the controversial N225,000 was not paid into a judge's account but to a former employee of his law firm.

After hearing the arguments of both parties last Monday, Justice Ibrahim Idris adjourned judgment.

But before the judgment could be delivered today, a former staff of Rickey Tarfa and Co, Mr. Muhammed Awwal Yunusa in a sworn affidavit stated that he was the person into whose account Tarfa had paid the said money, contrary to earlier depositions that the money was paid into the judge’s account to assist him to bury his father-in-law.

This new evidence halted the delivery of the judgment more so as Tarfa through his lead counsel, Chief Bolaji Ayorinde, asked the court to allow him to bring the new evidence on his record.

But, EFCC lawyer, Mr. Wahab Shittu opposed the application to file the new evidence.


Ruling on the application, Justice Idris agreed with Tarfa and held that "in the interest of justice, a party should be allowed to bring any evidence or material that would aid his case."


Further hearing in the matter continues tomorrow.

Nigerian Army Demotes Brig-Gen. Enitan Ransome-Kuti, Late Fela’s Nephew

Quashes prison sentence
Senator Iroegbu in Abuja
The Army Council has commuted the dismissal of Brig-Gen. Enitan Ransome-Kuti to a demotion to the rank of colonel with four years seniority.

It also quashed his six months imprisonment with immediate effect from October 15, 2015.
This decision was contained in a circular obtained by THISDAY wednesday dated March 1, 2016 and signed by Col. O. N. Taiwo on behalf of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS).

According to the circular, the council took the decision in its last meeting on February 22, 2016, after reviewing the judgment of the Special Court Martial (SCM) that tried Ransome-Kuti on a three-count charge for Failure to perform military duties and miscellaneous offences relating to service property.

The army had on October last year dismissed Brig-Gen. Ransome-Kuti, and sentenced him to six months imprisonment through General Court-Martial (GCM) by the Army Headquarters Garrison (AHQ), due to the alleged offences committed during his command of military operations in Baga Borno State, early this year.

The Director of Army Public Relations (DAPR), Col. Sani Usman, who confirmed the decision, explained that the sentence was not due to acts of cowardice, which was struck out, but hinged on several other offences that depict unprofessional conducts.

He said: “I wish to confirm that one of the accused persons, Brigadier General EA Ransome-Kuti, was awarded the following punishments on the various count charges against him as follows:
The first count charge which was cowardly behaviour, was struck out but was found guilty on count charge number two, which was failure to perform military duties and was dismissed from the Nigerian army.”

The army spokesman had stated that Ransom-Kuti “was equally found guilty on count charge number three, which was miscellaneous offences relating to service property and was awarded six months imprisonment.”

However, the army council had in the latest circular commuted the dismissal to lower rank and quashed his incarceration, ordering that Ransome-Kuti be released and posted out of custody.
Meanwhile, Usman is yet to confirm and respond to the inquiries if the Army has complied with the circular titled: army council decision for Implementation: Brig-Gen. EA Ransome-Kuti (N/8301), with references: A. AHQ GAR/G1/300/47 dated 26 June 15; and B. HQ DLS/A/G1/300/54 dated February 26, 2016.

Part of the circular read: “A Special Court Martial (SCM) was convened vide reference A to try the above named senior officer. He was arraigned on a three-count charges for Failure to perform military duties and miscellaneous offences Relating to service property. He was tried but was discharged and acquitted on count 1. He was however found guilty on count 2 and 3 by the SCM that tried him. He was thus awarded dismissal from the army on count 2 and six months imprisonment on count 3.

“Consequently, I am directed to inform you that reference B has conveyed to this Headquarters that the army council in its last meeting on February 22, 2016, confirmed the conviction of the accused senior officer on count two but commuted the sentence of dismissal to reduction in rank from Brigadier-General to Colonel with four years seniority WEF October 15, 2015. The council also quashed the finding of guilt and the award of six months imprisonment by the SCM on count three and replaced same with finding of “not guilty”. The senior officer was thus discharged and acquitted on count three WEF October 15, 2015.

“Accordingly, I am directed to request AHQ GAR to release the senior officer from close custody. I am also to request AHQ MS to post him out of jurisdiction.”

Ransome-Kuti was accused of dereliction of duties, which allegedly led to the capture of Baga and newly acquired weaponry by the Boko Haram terrorists.

The senior officer who was represented by the Lagos-based lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), was also alleged to have upon investigations, failed to account for the arms and ammunition under his supervision.

Meanwhile, the army last night confirmed the decision to commute of Ransome-Kute to demotion.
While responding to THISDAY enquiries, the Director of Public Relations, AHQ Garrison, Col. Aliyu Yusuf, confirmed that decision of army council had commuted the conviction to demotion.

Shocking!!! Man Beheads Step-mother In Benue

Obaganya community, a suburb in Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State, was thrown into deep mourning yesterday after a middle-aged man, Echeno Adakole, beheaded his 50-year-old step-mother, Titi Enokela, allegedly for ritual purpose.

Vanguard learned that the suspect allegedly ambushed the victim at a family farm settlement, hit her with a piece of wood and cut off her head. He thereafter wrapped it with the dead woman’s cloth and
put it in a polyethylene bag.

According to the source:

 “family members noticed that the woman had not returned from the farm and it was getting dark. Her children and other family members went looking for her; they found her headless body tucked away in a corner of the family farm.

They all raced back home wailing and crying for help, only to discover the severed head of the woman with her step-son, who was acting strange and making moves to flee from home.”

The source said the suspect was held by a mob, who attempted to lynch him but for the quick intervention of police, who took him away.

“As a result of tension in the community, the Police Area Command hurriedly moved the suspect out of the area to the State Command Headquarters in Makurdi,” he added.

When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent Moses Yamu, confirmed the story, saying the command was still investigating the matter.

How Suswam Instructed Me To Sell Benue Shares – Witness

Aluyi Victor, Portfolio Manager of Elixir Investment Partners Limited, a brokerage firm, testifying at the on-going trial of a former governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam, and his Commissioner of Finance, Omadachi Okolobia, on March 2, 2016 told Justice A. R. Mohammed of the Federal High Court, Abuja, that the company was given oral instruction to sell shares belonging to the state.

According to him, sales of the Benue State-owned shares yielded N9,411,078,000.61.

Led in evidence by the prosecuting counsel, Rotimi Jacobs, SAN, he told the court that sometime in January 2014, the company made a presentation to the state’s executive on the need “to consolidate its financial assets in order for it to be properly managed for optimal returns”.

He said, “Elixir got a verbal instruction from the former commissioner to consolidate the shares from various stock brokering houses, which was valued at about N25.5 billion and made up predominantly of Dangote Cement and Julius Berger shares.”

He told the court that the instruction from Okolobia was handed down to the managing director of the company, ordering that the money made from the sales be paid into three different bank accounts.

Based on the instruction, a total of N1 billion was paid to Benue Investment and Property Company Limited, and N5.3 billion to Benue State Ministry of Finance.

He added that a third payment of N3,111,008,018.51 being part of the money made from the sale of the shares, was credited into the Zenith Bank account of Fanffash Resources, a bureau de change firm owned by Abubakar Umar.

A written instruction for the remittance of the proceeds from the sale of shares had already been presented before the court at a previous sitting, and admitted as evidence against the defendants.

He said, “At the point of making payment we however realised that there was no name of Fanffash Resources on the written instruction and we made the observation that the account does not belong to Benue State government or Benue State Ministry of Finance.”

He further noted that another 24 million shares of Dangote Cement was sold in order to mitigate the risk of a substantial drop in the value of the portfolio and a total of N3.7 billion was realised as they had gotten a written instruction to raise N10 billion for the state.

The letter for the instruction to raise N10 billion, and authority to sell block trade at the discount of 15 percent in the stock market were admitted as evidence.

Also accepted as evidence were the certified true copies of the letters of instruction acknowledged by the bank, and forwarded to the company.

Justice Mohammed, thereafter, adjourned to March 22, 2016 for continuation of trial.

Pdp Crisis Thickens...lawmaker Dares Akpabio And Ors

CRISIS IN PDP!
VICTOR UDOFIA GOES GA GA
*DARES AKPABIO, UDOM, PAUL EKPO OVER HOR’S AMBITION.
*CLAIMS OWNERSHIP OF PDP STRUCTURE IN IKONO.
By OUR REPORTER

The Lawmaker representing Ikono State Constituency may have taken enough of his dosage, as he openly promised to thwart the second term senatorial ambition of the former Executive governor of the state, Senator Godswill Akpabio as well as ensure that, the state Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Obong Paul Ekpo, does not go for a second term, come March congress of the party.

The legislator, who disclosed this, to his supporters, who came to inquire on the stand of the Peoples Democratic Party, regarding the forthcoming congress, boasted that, if the governor doesn’t align in his new political structure, he will lose his second term ticket as the party was bent on filing someone from Oro nation to complete the tenure of the present government.

Udofia insinuated that, his House of Representative ambition in 2019 was a settled arrangement, noting that, his agreement to succeed Hon. Iboro Ekanem was binding and sacrosanct.

He however, chide the Ikono House of Representative member for being insensitive to the plight of the people, claiming that, with his wealth of experience in the Hallow Chamber, he will outshine all the first timers in the Green Chamber, by 2019.

He commended the Secretary of the party, Mr. Ibanga Akpabio, for supporting him, despite the antics of the State Chairman Obong Paul Ekpo, to keep him and the party at arms’ length, adding that, he has nominated all the party officers in Ikono Local Government area.
“I was given the sole power by my boss, Ibanga Akpabio, to nominate and carefully select all the chapter and ward executives of the PDP in Ikono. So as far as Ikono is concern, I am fully in charge.
“Paul Ekpo taught he could play with me, today, he is begging me to consider his people for ward executive. Even the chapter Chairman of our party here, I have send him, on political oblivion, he can never be relevant again.
“I am fully in charge, so don’t worry. The governor needs to perform very well, else, we will hand over his second term, to Senator Nelson Effiong from Oro nation.
“The party and the former governor was fade up with Udom Emmanuel, due to his negligence of Uyo- Ikot Ekpene road, whereas, Etinan-Eket road and Etinan-Onna road were under construction. The system is not happy with the Udom of a man.
“Akpabio has assured us that, he will be contesting for Vice president, so I don’t think, there will be vacancy for him, in second term.
“I commend all of you for standing by me, during the trying times, I will carry every one of us along” He promised.

Culled from Global Accord Newspaper

Senator Ben-murray Bruce Writes Open Letter To Nigerian Youths

Senator Ben-Murray Bruce has penned down an open letter to the youths of Nigeria, Read Below:

Youths of Nigeria, I want to communicate with you today. I noticed that there are too many divisions amongst our youths and as a stakeholder in Nigeria and parent of Nigerian children, I believe I ought to intervene.

Youths, do not make the mistakes my generation made. Do not see yourselves through tribal and religious lens. My generation of Nigerians did that and look where it has led us. You must do better.

It is foolish for any youth to fight another youth over APC or PDP. Let me ask you, what is the difference between the APC and the PDP? Half of the members of the APC are former PDP members and vice versa.

Let me ask you youths a question: Do the APC and the PDP fight over you as you fight over them? How many ministers have they given you? How many ambassadors have they given you? How many heads of parastatals have they given you? That’s right, the answer is ZERO!

So resist the desire of vested interests to control you and use you to fight other youths on social media and in real life.

What youths do not realize is that you are victims of divide and conquer. You make up 60% of the population yet account for 0% of the federal cabinet!

Your price should be more than a plate of rice and a handshake. Work together not against each other! Come on Nigerian youths, be smart!

If you think after you have been used to fight each other these vested interests will hand power to you, think again. Their kids who are abroad will do same to your kids!

It is time to end the hate and come together for Nigeria’s good. Long after we are gone, you will be around. So learn to get along.

As I have said and I will keep saying, the youths are the leaders of today if only they will resist being used by vested interests.

How old is Trudeau, the Canadian PM. He was 43 when he became PM. You can be much more than a thug or Twitter overlord. You can be like Trudeau’s.

My name is Ben Murray Bruce and I not only want to make commonsense, I also believe in the Nigerian youth.

Senate Moves To Enforce Patronage Of Local Goods

The Senate
THE Senate, Wednesday adopted a motion seeking the amendment of the Procurement Act to compel all government agencies and institutions to give maximum priority to patronising locally made products.
Adopting a two prayer motion moved by Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe (PDP Abia South) titled “Need For Patronisation of Made-in-Nigeria Goods,” the Senate urged the Federal Government to initiate and implement the first option policy on purchase of locally manufactured goods for any government procurement in all arms of government and every public funded organisation.
It also urged both the National Assembly to amend the Procurement Act to ensure that as a matter of law, agencies of government and government funded institutions adopt ‘the made-in-Nigeria’ goods first option policy and where consideration is first given to the local industry before any other.
In a comment shortly after the motion had been passed, Senate President Bukola Saraki said: “I used the opportunity to commend him because I had the opportunity to attend the ‘Made-in-Aba’ exhibition which he has been doing using the zonal intervention funds and I think it was very good because as you all know there is a wrong misconception sometimes of this zonal intervention funds of the National Assembly. The perception sometimes are these monies is not used for any good course and it was very commendable to see that for years these monies has been used to support his trade fair,” he said.
Earlier, Abaribe lamented that: “Today, Nigeria consumes what it does not produce. Investment in real sector has given way to trading in foreign and imported goods, stressing that the resultant impact has been a negative balance of trade, the shutting down of textiles companies, battery, tobacco, wood processing factories, cocoa and palm oil farms and other factories that had been the bane of the Nigerian economy.”
According to him, government spends billions of naira yearly to purchase imported vehicles, furniture, textiles, printing paper and even consumables such as rice, drugs, vegetable oils, fruit juice, noting that in the second quarter of 2015 alone, Nigeria spent N42.4 billion in importation of wheat and meslin and spent N25.3 billion in importation of rice.
Abaribe, therefore urged government to put measures in place to ensure obligatory official patronage of locally made products for all agencies of government and all officials funded by public funds, local producers and investors will have the incentive to invest quantitatively and qualitatively in the country because of the certainty of the market demand.
