Now I know why GEJ went to Aso Rock Villa to visit with PMB. He should his state to PMB, base on logistics.
Dickson bleeped up, GEJ simply taught him a lesson.
Quiet people are dangerous, Lyon is secretly working for GEJ. This is the life of a mafia...
I respect GEJ, he's a die hard politician embedded in academics.

Base on who I be, I wanna be like GEJ when I grow up.

...you get the point now..

Mohammed Bello Adoke, a former Nigerian attorney-general, has been held in Dubai by Interpol, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.

People familiar with the development said Mr Adoke was arrested shortly after arriving in Dubai on November 11. He had travelled there for medical evaluation after a court warrant for his arrest was vacated in October.

Justice D. Z. Zenchi of the Federal Territory High Court had in April issued a warrant for Mr Adoke’s arrest following an ex-parte application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The EFCC has been pursuing Mr Adoke over claims he was involved in the controversial Malabu Oil deal. Mr Adoke strongly denies links to the alleged fraud and has been on self-exile since vacating office in May 2015.

He has repeatedly cited a court judgment that said he could not be prosecuted for actions he took while in office based on presidential directives.

Justice Zenchi invalidated the arrest warrant on October 25 based on prayers from Mr Adoke’s lawyers who argued that the order was wrongfully procured.

The judge also asked the EFCC which seeks to prosecute Mr Adoke to serve him the court papers by substituted means.

In her ruling that day, the judge, after hearing the submissions of all the counsel, and upon perusal of all the affidavits in support of their motions, made the following orders:

“The arrest warrant issued for the arrest of the 4th-9th defendants in charge No FCT/HC/CR/124/2017 and to be executed by the police and the Interpol is declared null and void and of no effect whatsoever.

“Accordingly, the order of 17th April 2019 issuing a bench warrant on the 4th-9th defendants is hereby set aside and vacated.

“It is further ordered that the case be adjourned sine die until the prosecution takes the required procedural steps to effect service on the defendants herein.”

It appears the Nigerian authorities failed to update Interpol overseas of the development on the case.

PREMIUM TIMES learnt that Interpol officials in the United Arab Emirates, UAE, were shocked when Mr Adoke told them the warrant for his arrest had since been vacated and that there was no basis to hold him.

Our sources said Interpol authorities in the UAE have now requested the Nigerian authorities to officially update them on the matter.

The Ministry of Justice in Abuja has been working on transmitting the order to Interpol in Dubai to secure Mr Adoke’s release, but the process was being delayed because Attorney-General Abubakar Malami was not available, sources said.

Mr Malami could not be reached Sunday afternoon for comment. A spokesperson for Interpol told PREMIUM TIMES the headquarters cannot speak on Mr Adoke’s case because it specifically relates to the UAE.

Nigeria recently signed a mutual legal assistance treaty with the UAE that would, among others, ensure Nigerians accused of corruption and fraud, can be arrested in the UAE and deported to Nigeria to face prosecution. Such persons could also have their properties in that country seized.

ECOWAS are not smiling... Hmmmm Border closure. Ghana President must be negotiating some soft landing here, but alas, we don't have border with Ghana

A man who claims to be a democrat refuses to congratulate the winner of an election, even after highest court affirmed it. Rather, he takes a swipe at ALL democratic institutions. That’s the hallmark of a bad loser. It appears the DUBAI STRATEGY turned out to be the DUBAI TRAGEDY

President Muhammadu Buhari has instructed the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to make special funds available for the local production of textiles and garments in Nigeria.

Mr Buhari gave the instruction after declaring open the 31st National Education Conference of the National Union of Textile Garment and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria (NUTGTWN) in Abuja on Tuesday.

The theme of the conference is “Labour and Industry in the Next Level”.

The president who was represented by the Registrar of Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, Segun Ajiboye, called on the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) to facilitate the training of textile industry workers to sustain current efforts at improving local garments production in the country.

He said his administration demonstrated its committed to improving industries in the country with the signing of the Executive Order 003.

Mr Buhari said the order mandates all procuring authorities to give preference to Nigerian companies and firms in the award of contracts, in line with the Public Procurement Act 2007.

The president said the CBN had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Nigerian military and paramilitary outfits, as part of efforts to revive the Cotton, Textiles and Garment (CTG) sector in Nigeria.

“After a series of engagements, the CBN initiated the signing of an unprecedented MoU between the Service Chiefs, chief executives of uniform services and textile garment manufacturers on enforcement of Executive Order 003 in support of local urgent procurement.”

The president also said there is a need to train the existing 40,000 garments and textile industry workers.
