Ex-Zambian President Arrested For Nigerian Oil Deals by tonididdy(m): 10:23pm On Mar 25, 2013 |
[img]http://img.rasset.ie/000729fc-642.jpg[/img] Zambia has officially charged former president Rupiah Banda for abuse of authority over a Nigerian oil deal, a government spokeswoman has said. Mr Banda last week appeared before an official panel to answer allegations of corruption. The allegations relate to his three years in charge of Africa's biggest copper producer. Mr Banda has been accused of misappropriating more than $11m (€8.4m) during his three years in office. He has been released on a bond and will appear in court tomorrow. Zambia this month stripped Mr Banda of immunity from prosecution, a sign it was getting closer to bringing formal charges against him. Mr Banda, who led Africa's top copper producer from 2008 to 2011, has maintained his innocence. The former president was questioned for nearly three hours after his arrest, his lawyer Sakwiba Sikota said, adding that Mr Banda had done nothing wrong. Mr Banda later appeared before supporters telling them to remain calm and that he would win his case in court. He was defeated in 2011 by rival Michael Sata, whose government has launched several high-profile corruption probes into deals struck by the former administration. http://www.rte.ie/news/2013/0325/378289-zambia/ |

Excellent. Wish our laws work this way as well. Who was the president of Nigeria when this man committed this crime? If that president was aware of this, would he face the full weight of the law just like this man? If not, will the Nigerian(s) involved in this, be prosecuted as well? 1 Like |

Nigeria govt is been run by mafia organization established in 1960 and it will not stop to exist cos we nor get mouth. If Nigeria is a functioning institution, the president or official that strike the deal with this Zambia president should be questioned and give explanation to Nigerians if not arrested. But this case different. Judiciary nor care. Senate nor care, house nor care. Na waooo. PDP should stop killing nigeria. no politician even raise the motion for investigation. what a joke 1 Like |
