Fact check: Could EFCC rightly return houses disowned by Timipre Sylva?
September 2, 2017
...The EFCC’s charges say Sylva converted about N2 billion worth of properties and resources belonging to the state under false pretence, with an intention to hide the origin of the proceeds, an offence punishable by Anti-money Laundering Act.
In one of the cases, he had allegedly asked Union bank to provide a N2 billion over draft under the false pretense of augmenting state workers’ salaries.
A further N380 million, N20 million were also converted separately under similar circumstances within the same period, the commission said.
The EFCC has said it was adopting a new policy of pre-trial confiscation of assets belonging to the accused-particularly former governors and powerful politicians- to help neutralize financial war chest with which they have prolonged cases.
The question, once again, is: how come the commission has returned 48 houses to someone who so vigorously denied owning them?

DutchBruh: I have never been a fan of Nnamdi Kanu due to his antichrist statements and belonging to the brotherhood of the Jewish founded Freemasons. There are two options the FG has to neutralise Nnamdi Kanu Support base: 1) Expel him from the country permanently and send him back to UK and get the technology to block transmission of his message 2)Arrest Nnamdi Kanu and the Arewa Youths that issued the quit notice.
In theory, Nnamdi can actually be stripped of his British citizenship for promoting terrorism abroad and against the UK.
European human rights judges have ruled that Theresa May’s policy of stripping British terror suspects of their citizenship while abroad to bar them from returning to Britain is lawful.
Judges at the European court of human rights (ECHR) unanimously threw out a claim by a Sudan-born terror suspect who took UK citizenship in 2000 that depriving him of his British passport violated his right to a private and family life.
Most Nigerians are quite ignorant about the workings of government in the UK. But without fear of contradiction, I can tell you that Nnamdi Kanu has some serious questions to answer - when next he arrives at a point of entry into that country. You can take this assertion to the bank.

UK’s National Crime Agency Freezes Alison-Madueke’s London Properties
August 28, 2017
By Tobi Soniyi with agency report
The UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) has frozen London properties valued at £10 million allegedly bought for the former Minister of Petroleum Resources Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, as investigations into the case against her unravel by the day.
The two properties located at Regents Park in London, along with one in Buckinghamshire, have now been frozen based on the request of Nigerian authorities.
According to online news medium, Premium Times, a London court gave the freeze order in September 2016 but details of the rulings have only recently become public.
But the agency was too late in preventing a further two properties worth £8 million from being sold.
In July, the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) had revealed four properties it alleged were bought for the former petroleum minister by individuals and firms seeking her influence in obtaining lucrative oil assets and crude oil lifting contracts.
Some of the oil assets were assigned to people believed to be her cronies through Strategic Alliance Agreements (SAAs).
The DoJ’s affidavit stated that businessmen, Jide Omokore and Kola Aluko were involved in the purchase of two of the properties allegedly bought for Alison-Madueke.
The UK order obtained by Africa Confidential, a newsletter specialising in politics and business in Africa, has revealed that three of the properties have been frozen under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
Apart from Alison-Madueke, Omokore and Aluko, the order also named three other individuals as defendants in the case, all of whom were believed to have received contracts or oil assets from the NNPC during the embattled minister’s tenure.
The order forbids the defendants from disposing of or dealing in the properties.
Although the NCA has frozen three properties valued at £10 million, the agency was too late to prevent a further two properties worth £8 million from being sold.
One of these, a massive nine-bedroom house in London’s exclusive Hampstead Garden Suburb, bought by a British Virgin Islands-registered company in January 2011 for £5,850,000, was sold in May 2015.
Similarly, the property at 39 Chester Close, one of the properties listed in the DoJ case, which was bought by Aluko’s BVI-based Mortlake Investments for £1.73 million, was sold in July 2015, months before the NCA initially arrested the former minister.
UK estate agent, Daniel Ford & Co, assisted in the purchases of three of the properties, and UK solicitors firms, Addie & Co and Gordon’s Partnership, were conveyancers of the deals.
According to Corruption Watch, a UK NGO, investigators should look carefully at these organisations’ due diligence practices.
The order signals a step up in the UK’s investigation of the former minister, who was first arrested by the NCA in October 2015 when the agency confiscated her passport and £27,000 in cash found in her apartment.
However, the extent of the evidence against Alison-Madueke and the other defendants remains unclear.
The September 2016 forfeiture proceeding of the properties was held in private, meaning that the evidence that the NCA presented to support the seizure was not accessible.
Although some of the businessmen all had lucrative contracts with the NNPC, and are all accused of lavish spending for Alison-Madueke, this alone might not be enough to secure criminal prosecutions against any of them, analysts have said.
“In the U.S. and UK, simply buying luxury items for a government official like Ms. Alison-Madueke isn’t against the law,” said Aaron Sayne, a financial investigator and Senior Governance Officer at the National Resource Governance Institute.
“Investigators have to link the money involved to a crime that happened in Nigeria. And if the crime is bribery, they must also show that the items purchased rewarded her for helping someone win a government contract. That’s not easy to prove, especially well enough to stand up in court,” he pointed out.
The DoJ’s case included transcripts of conversations in which the minister appeared to admit her role in awarding the SAA contracts to Atlantic Energy – but it is still unclear whether the UK has additional evidence relating to the contracts that others received during Alison-Madueke’s tenure.
A newspaper columnist critical of Nigeria's late and current president said Sunday that the oil-rich nation's secret police seized his passports when he entered the country.
Okey Ndibe, who writes a weekly column on politics for The Sun newspaper, told The Associated Press he believed his brief detention and the passport seizures came from the government's displeasure over his articles.
The incident also comes as Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan prepares for what could be a tumultuous and violent April election in a nation long familiar to strong-arm tactics to muzzle the press.
Ndibe, a U.S. citizen who teaches at Trinity College in Connecticut, said an immigration officer stopped him Saturday night after he arrived at Lagos' Murtala Muhammed International Airport. The columnist said the immigration official introduced him to an officer with the secretive State Security Service, who detained him for about two hours as he made telephones calls.
The secret policeman ultimately took Ndibe's U.S. and Nigerian passports and ordered him to appear for questioning Monday morning at the agency's Lagos headquarters. Ndibe said the officer offered no explanation for his actions.
Gunmen Storm Lagos Press, Confiscate Book On Jonathan Feb 08, 2015
Like actions in Hollywood blockbusters, gunmen, which number could not be easily ascertained, on Friday morning raided a printing press in Shomolu area of Lagos State, carting away copies of a book on the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.
Our correspondent gathered that the gunmen harassed the printers and took away copies of the book, entitled Two-Faced Jonathan: 100 Reasons Why Jonathan Must Go, authored by Blessing Agbomhere.
Workers in the printing press who were too frightened, could not ask questions or confront the gun-wielding men suspected to be security operatives.
Speaking to journalists on the development, Agbomhere said the book was scheduled for launch at the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) Secretariat in Lagos, before the incident.
Agbomhere, who is also the initiator of Change Ambassador of Nigeria (CAN), said, “This book was being printed in Shomolu and I was told that the book that was to be launched today (Saturday) was taken away after someone within the printing press, who has sympathy for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), alerted security operatives about it.
“They came and confiscated all the printed copies of the book. They came in mufti.
“We don’t know the arm of security agency that they belong to, or whether they are private individuals or not.
“The printers had to immediately release the books to them, because, they were heavily armed. I am not owing them. I have already paid them.”
EXCLUSIVE: Jonathan awards $40million contract to Israeli company to monitor computer, Internet communication by Nigerians
April 25, 2013
...The earliest hint that the Jonathan administration had desires to invade privacy of citizens surfaced ealy April when researchers at the Munk School for Global Affairs at the University of Toronto alerted the world that Nigeria, Egypt, and Kenya were deploying Internet surveillance and censorship technology developed by an American company, Blue Coat, which specializes in online security. Blue Coat’s technology will allow the government to invade the privacy of journalists, netizens and their sources. Its censorship devices use Deep Packet Inspection, DPI, a technology employed by many western Internet Service Providers, to manage network traffic and suppress unwanted connections.
Civic groups kick against DPI because, they say, it makes it possible for censors to look into every single Internet Protocol packet and subject it to special treatment based on content (censored or banned words) or type (email, VoIP or BitTorrent Protocol).
DPI not only threatens the principle of Net Neutrality and the privacy of users, civic groups say, it makes single users identifiable and, in countries that flout the rule of law and violate human rights, often exposes them to arbitrary imprisonment, violence or even torture.
Mr 'live in London' - you could not possibly know more about the workings of the British judiciary than I do. The queen of bling will do a long stretch @HMP, there is no question about it.
bonechamberlain: u are the bot here, one needs to know u before they condemn evil about you. that's the mindset of irrational folks. don't think that way unless u may never find help.
what is the name of the seven ex governors and ex ministers, no name but we must put diezeani there for people who cannot think to smile foolishly.
the only person who is working against their interest is you, because u are showing ur gullibility by being happy about this charade.
my only interest is for the accused persons to be charged to court if found guilty jailed and the stolen wealth recovered. anything apart from that is not in my interest. all these media charade is for the interest of gullible folks.
Did I not mention our corrupt judiciary in one of my earlier comments? Think man!
You see, this is precisely why the EFCC must employ every instrumentation available to it - to recover stolen loot. Going it about it in the manner most Nigerians are accustom to, is hardly likely to yield meaningful results.

Former Nigerian governor jailed for five years for corruption
MARCH 6, 2017
YOLA, Nigeria (Reuters) - A former Nigerian state governor was jailed for five years on Monday after being found guilty of corruption related to procurement of cars while in office, a judge said.
James Bala Ngilari - who was governor of northeastern Adamawa state for seven months until May 2015 - was convicted of awarding a contract for the procurement of 25 vehicles at a cost of 167 million naira ($548,891) without following due process.
Convictions of serving and past government officials remain rare in Nigeria, despite President Muhammadu Buhari making a crackdown on corruption a central plank of his government’s approach after taking office in May 2015.
“The only thing is to give you the minimum sentence of five years” Justice Nathan Musa said.

Defender of the corrupt, please tell me how the Nigerian government is suppose to arrest someone who is effectively on remand (for money laundering) in the UK?
Nigeria’s federal high court has charged the country’s former oil minister, who served under ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, with money laundering in connection with an alleged bribery scandal aimed to keep Jonathan in office.
The court found that Diezani Alison-Madueke, who ran the oil ministry from 2010-2015, and three officials in the country’s electoral commission “conspired among [themselves] to directly take possession” of more than 264 million naira (worth nearly $1.4 million at the time), according to a statement from Nigeria’s anti-corruption agency published Wednesday.
erico2k2: ok let me say this, how about the money in Nigeria let us forget the ones abroad, the ones in Nigeria what news have we got about them ones? is there also a web of financial jurisdiction and legalese fire-walling them? Russians and Chinese had had their asset and Money frozen in London and swiz,are you trying to tell me the Nigerian thief is far more clued than these ones? Abeg tell me another story plz.
You have clearly not been following current recovery efforts in Nigeria? But even at that; there is plenty of resistance coming not only from sections of our corrupt judiciary and political establishment but also our restless youth, who have been programmed to work against their own interests. Just read back over some of the comments on this thread (including yours) if in doubt.
erico2k2: I will take NIgerians serious when they start naming everyone involved, why say a former Governor without calling his name and if you dont want us to know his name well, keep the news secret until all investigation is done.
Difficult times calls for different rules of engagement - this is why you have Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams as distinct policing divisions in most countries.
Are you aware that Nigeria is still trying to recover Abacha's ill-gotten wealth till this very day, because it is firewalled behind an intricate web of financial jurisdictions and legalese? Would it not be better to recover some loot now under some kind of agreement with the acclaimed thief, than to spend the next 40 years propping countries like the UAE and Dominica Republic, while the masses in Nigeria make do with a life of penury?
Nigeria may lose another $550m ‘Abacha loot’ to US – Sagay
January 12, 2017
...“Nigeria presently stands to lose another $550m recovered from the Abacha family to the US, contrary to the earlier promise by the U.S. to return same to Nigeria,” he said.
Sagay said the amount represented a separate tranche from the earlier $480m forfeited to the US following a court judgment in August 2014.
He said that the stringent conditions for repatriation being given by the countries in which some of the nation’s stolen wealth was stashed contradicted the earlier promises made.
He expressed concern at the country’s challenges in the tracing, seizure, forfeiture and return of Nigeria’s assets laundered outside the country.
Saga explained that the challenges were due to stringent conditions and other uncooperative attitude of the countries in possession of the stolen funds.
He said, “Out of the Abacha loot for instance, Switzerland seized over $505.5m between 2004 and 2006.
“The UK recovered $2.7m from Alamieyeseigha’s account in London in 2005. Alamieyeseigha’s home and other real estate as at 2005 was estimated at over $15m,’’ Sagay said.
Also speaking at the parley, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, called for the unconditional return of Nigeria’s looted fund.
Dabiri-Erewa, who said asset recovery was different from asset returning, decried the uncooperative attitude of the countries where the stolen funds were being stashed.
“America has over $400m that have been officially recovered as stolen funds from Nigeria. But America is keeping the funds, they are telling us about technicalities; they are saying we recovered doesn’t mean we can return.
“We want every Nigerian in Diaspora, friends of Nigeria, to join this committee in demanding that every Nigeria’s stolen fund recovered in any part of the world should be returned to Nigeria,” she said.
According to her, the person who steals is just as guilty as the person who keeps stolen funds.
She said, “The person who steals is a criminal; the person who keeps known stolen funds is also a criminal.
“You can’t give us aid of one billion dollars and keep one billion dollars of funds you have recovered from Nigeria.

Stop defending the indefensible in Nigeria, by spreading #FakeNews delivered by news organisations that lack any credibility. The sighting of a single cockroach in 2013 did not turn the White House into the global object of ridicule our seat of government is fast becoming. Put simply, you lied!
dainformant: Since it was reported that president Muhammadu Buhari will spend three months working from home after his office was damaged by rats, Nigerians have not rested in making mockery of the situation considering how such a highly guarded place could be infiltrated by mere rodents.
Some Nigerians have dug up an old article where it was revealed that the White House was overrun with Cockroaches and Rats..
According to the article, the White House – the home of the country’s sitting President and his family – has always had a problem keeping unwanted rodents out. President Carter had mice. President Bush had rats. President Obama has cockroaches.
Nigeria's government spokesman Garba Shehu said the office required renovation after damage was done by the rats to the furniture and air conditioning in his absence.
In your attempt to mask the truth, you've reached deep into the cesspit of racialised commentary - which was designed to deride the Obama administration.

Dongreat: People will believe anything from the internet. He's 23 and has 3 BSc. degrees in Law from three different Universities right? Ask yourself how many years it takes to complete a BSc. Degree in Law in Nigeria, taking considerations of the yearly strikes? Then include years in his degree in the U.K. From my calculations a Law degree in Nigeria is 4 years and UK is 3 years. That's 4 + 4 + 3 equal 11 years. 11 minus 23 that's 12. So dude entered kindergarten from a 6 months old pregnancy, graduated to primary at 3 years, finish secondary at 11 years and entered a Nigerian university at 12 years.
Ps: calculation was without strikes in the Nigeria university.
Congratulations bloggers, you just won the Nobel Prize for world most stupid and dumbo of the 21st century.

15TH SEPTEMBER 2014 MCL AFRICAN BURSARY WINNERS The Law Faculty is delighted to announce that Onoriode Aziza and Adeola Owoade are the first recipients of the Herbert Smith Freehills African Bursary, for which nationals of a country in Africa offered a place on the MCL are eligible.
The bursary was established due to the generosity of Herbert Smith Freehills, one of the world’s leading law firms. It has strong African connections and nearly 3,000 lawyers in offices spanning Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States.
Mr. Aziza and Mr. Owoade were awarded the Herbert Smith Freehills African Bursary on the strength of outstanding academic results achieved at the Faculty of Law, Obafemi Awolowo University. Mr. Owoade graduated in 2009 and Mr. Aziza did likewise in 2012.
The total amount of the bursary is £22,050. This will be split evenly between Mr. Aziza and Mr. Owoade and will defray for each of them half of their MCL course fees. Herbert Smith Freehills is additionally offering Mr. Aziza and Mr. Owoade a one week work experience placement in their London office that will take place during one of their breaks between academic terms.
Now to the blogger who clearly mangled facts here; why would someone who had distinguished himself enough at OAU, to attract an award at Cambridge, feel the need to do yet another undergraduate degree? Think!!!
WHY THE MCL? Those contemplating undertaking graduate studies in law have a wide range of options from which to choose. The factors dictating your choice will vary considerably depending on individual preferences. The MCL is ideally suited to those who are seeking a strong corporate orientation within their graduate studies.
As odious as some of his pronouncements have been in recent years, there is no denying that he is right on the money here. But even so, the fat buffoon needs to understand that his brand of godfatherism is arraigned against the wind of progress in Africa.
If he is at all interested in maintaining any relevance into the future, he needs to learn to walk the path of honour - which offers no respite to those who wear the glad rags of ethnocentrism.

NIGERIA'S former oil minister faces charges only at home, but her name crops up in a growing number of international cases that lift the lid on the scale of alleged corruption in the country's oil sector.
Since leaving office in 2015, Diezani Alison-Madueke has been implicated in bribery, fraud, misuse of public funds and money-laundering cases in Nigeria, Britain, Italy and the United States.
The first female president of global oil cartel Opec – who was one of Africa's most prominent politicians – has always denied the allegations, which involve billions of dollars siphoned from oil deals and state coffers.
But, former US State Department Nigeria specialist Matthew Page suggested that a US civil forfeiture case to seize US$144 million (RM617 million) in assets from allegedly ill-gotten crude contracts may just be the start of Alison-Madueke's legal troubles

If they claim they have a case against her, why have they not arrested her or charged her to court? Today $400 million recovered. Last week $2.96 Billion of property surrendered. Last month 900 billion Naira traced. Two months ago, 99.34 billion discovered from her business associates. 5 months ago 6million pounds identified to family member. Tomorrow, will be $5.98 billion traced to her foundation. Where are all these monies? My people make una think well well.

The thought of a woman going from design and couture to oil and corporate excellence and becoming the world's richest black woman is deeply worrying and difficult for you to grasp. I also noticed that many of you are well secured in tangible commodities, the idea of prospecting in non-tangibles and features is too complex for you all to understand.
Are you aware that a national budget is a prospect? It is forecasted against future earnings and revenues based on a performance index and calculated growth. For Nigeria, tax revenue and oil proceeds are some of the bases used to calculate budget proposal. If oil decline, budget will not perform. If tax receipts decline because lack of foreign exchange killed businesses that depend on imports to operate, then budget will not perform. But if oil and tax grow beyond forecast, not only will the budget meet expectations, it will be in surplus and exceed projections. Start by understanding how budget works, then you can comprehend how exploration, prospect, rights and rewards all tie together.
And where in this exhibition of retar#dation have you addressed my questions? What the feck do you know about how a budget works?
Have you never been told that it is better to remain quiet and be thought of as a fool, than to write and remove all doubt?
Now let me educate you a bit, because I am qualified to do so: you do not need the brains of George Soros to accumulate vast amounts of wealth, when you are connected to a corrupt government administration, in a rentier state. The truth stands on its own merits despite your reprehensible attempt to sell a lie, by offering puerile revisionism.
