Sharrap. Any building can be destroyed if it breaches the law! Una go build for rivers without following laid down plans , laws, n structures!!!

Was it only mosque that was destroyed?

Noise maker

semyman:
Leaders of the Muslim community in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, have condemned the demolition of a Central Mosque in Trans-Amadi, as they called on President Muhammadu Buhari, Governor Nyesom Wike and members of the National Assembly to intercede on behalf of the over 10,000 worshippers.
Haroon Muhammed, an imam, said the mosque was demolished by government officials who came with mobile policemen on August 20, citing non-compliance despite the existence of Rivers State approved building plan.
Appealing to Governor Wike, Muhammed said: “This is the most populated mosque. Muslims all over the world can see what has happened to a mosque that is duly approved by the state government. We have been harassed three times now – once on the 29th of last month, then on August 16 and 20 without any formal notice.
“Today, we are denied a place of worship. We don’t want to foment any trouble with government officials. We want the world to help us beg the governor for us to have a place of worship, because this central mosque is the only one serving the whole of Trans-Amadi. Members of the armed forces, the agencies, the police, army, oil company workers, and government workers, who are Muslims, worship in this place.” This is how inhospitable to the Muslims these people are. In fact, the dwarf fence covered with tarpaulin where the Muslim students in Rivers State University of Science and Technology was demolished by the then VC during Amaechi's government. All appeals to the schools authorities and Rivers State Government was vehemently turned down. Pls send these clarion call to all your Muslim Contacts until it gets to the Muslims in Authority who can influence rebuilding of the mosques. Lawyers can also work on these from the legal angle. Allah will reward you immensely if this reaches the right person by spreading wide.

It is evident that Keyamo is a true man and not a politician.

A politician is ready to deny his own blood brother if it will negatively impact his political ambition. Instead, Keyamo laid it all bare and revealed the depth of his friendship with the accused.

It is not Keyamo's fault if his family friend involved himself in crime in another country, and if eventually convicted, they will still be family friends who have been helpful to each other at some time in their friendship.

See them!!!

Would you have said this if Keyamo was in PDP or if he were Igbo?!

Smh

godwinkessi:
He has not been proven guilty! Jerry Doesn’t look like a fraudulent man though. This Keyamo is a very good friend. He’s what we need in Nigerian political system. Very transparent and plain. That’s the only thing I love about Jehovah witness

life is a very funny place this same man that have been busy justifying anything that is wrong with this government, a man who finds it difficult to support anything that is right except it's benefit him ,all of a sudden is a good man to our unreasonable youths, I am seeing keyamo statement as nothing but of a man that is just trying to down play the situation.

Thank GOD you didn't deny him like your party denying WADUME, so also PDP and all bigwig Politician sponsoring thugs during political campaigns and rallies, thereafter denying them when they have issues. Kudos to you Keyamo.

When I told you people that all our prominent politicians are all retired Yahoo boys una think say I dey talk nonsense.

Is there a valid reason for this?
If yes,I pray they should be given a better place to build another mosque.
If it were to be in the north n the other way round,u for don they hear sentimental utterances

This is how a minister of ND should talk. Friendship or not, he just gained my respect. Protect your own first before anything. We sabi ourselves.

Muyiwaipere:

So.dis guy na Ajeri

Abdulazeez99:
Minister of State for Niger Delta Affairs, Festus Keyamo, has described suspected fraud kingpin, jerry Ikogho, as a brother and friend from a good home, Igbere TV reports.

The newly appointed minister said this in an interview with newsmen after pictures of the two men appeared on the Internet.

Igbere TV reports that Ikogho is one of the 77 Nigerians charged for massive fraud and money laundering in the United States of America following an extensive FBI operation.

The suspects allegedly conspired to scam at least $46 million from victims via romance scams, business email compromises and other online fraud schemes.

A grand jury indictment was filed in the Central District of California back in October 2018 and unsealed last week after the arrest of 14 defendants in the US.

The remaining 63 individuals are believed to be abroad, with most in Nigeria.

Keyamo began a relationship with Ikogho as a child in the 70s in Ughelli, Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State.

They were classmates at Government College Ughelli and were children of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

While Keyamo’s family barely managed to make ends meet, Ikogho’s father was a major car dealer in the area.

Speaking in the interview, Keyamo said he did not know the kind of business Ikogho was doing in America.

“We were born together in the same town at Ughelli in Delta State. His parents and my parents are close friends up till tomorrow. We were both raised in the Jehovahs Witnesses sect. It is a whole family union. If he has legal issues, I handled them for him free of charge. I didn’t know him as a client but as a family friend with whom we both grew up together,” Keyamo was quoted as saying.

Asked if he was aware that his friend was into shady business, Keyamo asked: “How would I know? He has not been proven guilty. Have you concluded that he is into massive fraud and money laundering?”

The lawyer who once prosecuted cases on behalf of Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), added that he needs to hear from Ikogho what transpired in America before he takes a position.

Hear him: “If his explanations are not satisfactory, I will scold him. I have spoken with the wife since this issue broke out, but I have been unable to get in touch with him. But I need to hear from him.”

Describing what happened to his friend as “very unfortunate”, Keyamo added that Ikogho grew up and did his youth service in Nigeria.

“I used to stay with him when I first came to Abuja. He is my brother and friend, though I am just a month older than him. Anybody can be in trouble. I am praying for him. If he has valid explanations I will help him legally. I can’t run away from him,” he concluded.

IF ANYTHING ,I RESPECT KEYAMO FOR THIS ..HE DIDNT TURN HIS BACK ON HIS FRIEND .MANY WOULD TO AVOID BEING PULLED IN ..HE IS STANDING BY HIM

How many of us have such pals...?

You grew up with a friend right from childhood and on getting to adult, he turned into an armed robber. Will you deny you dont know him? Can we leave politics alone and think for once.

IamaNigerianGuy:


BMC is always ready to do their 30k job.

Keyamo, a lawyer with above 20 years experience at the bar, did not know the source of wealth of his childhood friend with whom he retains intimate contact, and he did not bother to find out.

Tell it to the birds

Same way Invictus Obi was a celebrated young entrepreneur, even celebrated by Forbes.

Or you think Fraudsters do not have legitimate businesses they use to front their wealth?

If America the host government did not know until now, why would Keyamo a friend in Nigeria have known?

chigutz:
He could have denied him or at best claim he was a client buh he stood firm. This is what friendship should be

If he denied him, the next day, more news about their relationship will be unearthed and that could be the beginning of trouble for keyamo in this early hour of his ministerial glory

Solid and mature response.

Obviosly e follow chop

Very very dirty politicians

Always be with someone that will be there for you anytime anywhere , date someone that will never let you down or run away if things it’s difficult...

Odjirigho:
A real man he is

And also street smart. If he denied that guy, evidences of their relationship would surely spring up and that could stir a damaging controversy for the new minister.

It was better he told his own story and put bloggers out of a juicy scoop

Keyamo. Kudos to you.
You are truly a good friend.

This local man (me) is truly impressed.

. Keyamo has reduce my anger on him, this what we call brotherhood.

Look @ the 2 thiefs

May sense never depart From you and your generation. Good analysis.

I love what he did.

But with his explanations of the depth of their friendships, anybody would have done what he did. Exception of he is implicated in the case then he reject to save his ass.

They were like brothers and no one will reject a brother that the relationship have always been good from childhood.

aminusodiq:
Keyamo sounds lik a good friend!!!

Nonsense will U say this if it Wike

Keyamo is just hiding under one finger. How can you claim he's your brother and close family friend but pretended not to know the kind of business he's into. Which legal issues has keyamo assisted him with, free of charge and why did the guy find himself in legal mess in the first place?. There's more to this than meets the eye. I hope he won't swallow all these later when the cat is let out of the bag. Keyamo is someone who doesn't think before he talks . This time around, we shall see how he ends this.

I dont like this guy's gut.

But he is a true friend.
