Ahead of May 29, 2019, handover date to newly-elected states helmsmen, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has set up teams to probe some governors accused of perpetrating acts of corruption, SUNDAY PUNCH has learnt.

At least 12 states will have new governors on May 29 after the tenure of the current ones would have ended.
The states that will have new chief executives include Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Imo, Kwara, Nasarawa, Yobe, Borno, Adamawa, Bauchi, Gombe, Zamfara.

Of the 12 states, however, four governors have been accused of corruption.

They include Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State; Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed; the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum and Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari; and Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun.

Okorocha, who has been suspended by the All Progressives Congress, has been accused of diverting over N1bn meant for the campaign of his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu, who contested on the platform of the Action Alliance.

The EFCC said in an interim report that it had arrested the Accountant-General of Imo State, Uzoho Casmir, for allegedly helping Okorocha to launder N1.05bn for the governorship and state House of Assembly elections.

In Zamfara State, the EFCC is investigating Yari for alleged diversion of funds running into billions of naira.

A Federal High Court in Abuja had, in 2017, ordered an interim forfeiture of the sums of N500m and $500,000 said to have been looted from the Paris Club refunds made by the Federal Government in favour of the 36 states of the federation.

The sums of money, said to have been recovered from two firms, First Generation Mortgage Bank Limited, and Gosh Projects Limited, were allegedly linked to Yari.

The EFCC alleged that the sums of money were fraudulently diverted from the NGF’s bank account on the instruction of Yari. According to the commission, about N500m from the money was diverted to offset Yari’s personal loan obtained from the First Generation Mortgage Bank Limited.

Ahmed of Kwara State, will also be invited by the EFCC once his tenure comes to an end.

His successor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazak, has also vowed to probe the governor once he loses his immunity.

Ahmed, who is the godson to Senate President Bukola Saraki, was accused of diverting state funds.

Earlier in the month, the EFCC arrested six commissioners and government officials in Kwara State for allegedly diverting N1bn a week before the National Assembly and presidential elections.

The EFCC said in a situation report that bank officials had been brought in for questioning and had made relevant statements.

Amosun, who has been suspended by the APC, has also come under probe by the commission.

The probe was sequel to a petition written by a group, Committee for the Protection of Peoples Mandate, over an alleged misappropriation of N4bn Anchor Borrowers’ Fund meant for Ogun farmers.

The group, in the petition dated February 20, 2019, alleged that the sum was made available to the Amosun-led government in 2017 by the Central Bank of Nigeria to provide jobs for the residents through the mass production of rice.

It alleged that Amosun staged a jamboree ceremony and set up fake rice pyramids to deceive the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, when he (Emefiele) visited the state last year.

The group further accused the governor of abandoning the project in spite of his promise to establish rice plantations in the three senatorial districts of the state.

The EFCC may, however, have to wait till 2023 before taking further action on five governors-elect – Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State; Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State; Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State and his Akwa Ibom State counterpart, Udom Emmanuel, as well as Kano Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, who are all being investigated for alleged diversion of public funds.

Should Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, win re-election in April, the EFCC will also have to wait till 2023 before taking any action against him.

A panel constituted to investigate the electoral and other offences perpetrated during the December 10, 2016 Rivers parliamentary re-run said that it recovered N111m from 23 INEC officials.

The Chairman of the panel, Damian Okoro, alleged that three senior electoral officers collected N20m each out of the N360m given to them by Governor Wike, while the remaining officers received N15m each.

When contacted on the telephone, the spokesman for the EFCC, Mr. Tony Orilade, said all the corruption allegations would be treated on a “case-by-case” basis.

Orilade said, “I don’t have the full details of the cases but investigations have been going on as regards some of these cases and as soon as their immunity is gone, we will take further action and if there is a prima facie case, we will take the matter to court.

“As for those who have won and are going to be covered by immunity, it does not mean that investigations will stop. They are not immune from investigation but from prosecution as guaranteed by the constitution. And at the proper time, if there is a prima facie case, they will be prosecuted.”

Good work.

She first covered her face, then he did so in the next pics..
The question is what/who are they hiding from?

Let's assume the reason is x
X = ?

Soln
If the guy is married(m) and the girl has a serious relationship(r),

X = m + r - (p²)/L
Where p= people around
L= Love

But marriage and serious relationship = partners existing (Pe)

Therefore, X= Pe/L
Using the inconclusive formula, where Pe/L= inconclusive
X= inconclusive

Hence, we don't know why they're hiding their faces

The United States says it is compiling reports
on the 2019 general elections with a view to
giving a proper response on it.
The US said it was actively involved with
political happenings in the country, particularly
regarding the 2019 election.
The US Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of
African Affairs, Tibor Nagy, said this in a
telephone press conference on Tuesday.
Nagy said during the build-up to the elections,
the US Ambassador, Stuart Symington, and his
team took many steps to ensure that things
went smoothly.
The US official said in the pre-election period,
in the election period and currently in the post-
election period, they are providing
phenomenal guidance to Washington on how
the US Government should and should not
respond to the election-related matters.
He said, “So, just rest assured that the United
States of America Embassy and the Consulate in
Lagos, are actively involved and are doing an
absolutely superb job to monitor events and to
provide guides on how Washington should react
to whatever the events there are.
“As you know, our secretary did make a
telephone call.”
Prior to the Presidential and National Assembly
election, the United States Secretary of State,
Michael Pompeo, was reported to have placed
a call across to the Presidential Candidate of
the Peoples Democratic, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar,
for a free, fair and credible election in the
country while President Donald Trump called
Buhari.
The US had threatened to place a visa ban on
persons involved in electoral violence.

for alleged electoral violence
The American Government had said, “We, and
other democratic nations, will be paying close
attention to actions of individuals who interfere
in the democratic process or instigate violence
against the civilian population before, during,
or after the elections.
“We will not hesitate to consider consequences
–including visa restrictions – for those found to
be responsible for election-related violence.”

Cristiano Ronaldo put on a stunning display as Juventus triumphed over Atletico Madrid in their Champions League second leg clash at the Allianz Stadium, as the forward's hat-trick confirmed a 3-2 win on aggregate.

After a highly frantic start, the home side thought they had got off to the perfect start inside just four minutes, when Giorgio Chiellini pounced on a loose ball at the feet of Jan Oblak, but Ronaldo was adjudged to have fouled the keeper in the seconds before.

But, 22 minutes later, a period which flew by in a blur of intensity and fight, that man Ronaldo rose highest once again against Atletico to meet a wonderfully whipped in ball from Federico Bernardeschi and clatterhis header past Oblak and into the net.

The blood (literally, in the case of Chiellini) and thunder of the first half continued into the second, as I Bianconeri continued to pour forward.​

And, this time, they did have a goal awarded inside the first four minutes, as Ronaldo pushed another powerful header towards Oblak, who looked to have improbably clawed it away before goal-line technology intervened.

As the minutes ticked down towards 90 and extra time beckoned, substitute Moise Kean had a glorious chance to win it when he went one-on-one with the Slovenian, but couldn't direct the bouncing ball goalward as he skewed the shot wide.

But that all faded into oblivion when Angel Correa pushed Bernardeschi in the penalty area, and CR7 made no mistake from the spot.

This is really heartbreaking. In this picture are the wife and the child of Professor Pius Adesanmi, the Nigerian Canada based scholar who met his death in the ill-fated Ethiopian Airline that killed him and 156 others on Sunday, 10th of March, 2019.

Mrs. Adesanmi in the picture is seen breaking the news of her husband's death to their daughter, Tise, in Canada while suspending her own grief.

The aircraft, a Boeing 737 MAX 8 carrying 149 passengers and eight crew members, lost contact with air traffic controllers six minutes after taking off on its way to Nairobi, Kenya.

Adesanmi flew on a Canadian passport. He posed with the passport in the last picture he posted on Facebook on Saturday morning.

Another set of suspected thugs have been apprehended in Akwa Ibom state, ahead of Saturday's governorship election. The suspects were rounded up this morning by agile youths who stormed EverBee Hotel along Idoro road in Uyo, the state capital.

Over 32 of them were nabbed. According to the youths, the suspects will be handed over to the police as the law demands.

One of the suspects who revealed he's from Benin city in Edo state, said that they were brought to the state to monitor the election as observers of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He also revealed that they were at the hotel to receive the money that will be shared to them.

This is coming after various thugs in buses were arrested by police operatives few days ago in Akwa Ibom state.

Tinubu is the leader of the Yoruba race. He is the next Obafemi Awolowo. And the people of Yorubaland gave him such power

So he should be interested and solely make decisions concerning any political post in Yorubaland, even as low as the councilorship seat

The real Yorubas will forever be indebted to Jagaban. We owe him our all

For some days, a common sight at BRT bus stops in Lagos state is an unusually large crowd of commuters waiting for the arrival of an available BRT bus.

These commuters are sometimes subjected to hours-long wait for BRT buses. In the evenings, it gets worse. Then, commuters wait much longer for the arrival of available buses.

[
From our investigation, it was discovered that the scarcity of fuel at the fuel dump of the sole franchisee of the Lagos BRT service was the reason for the scarcity of available buses at BRT bus stops.

https://i2.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Crowd-At-BRT-Lane-6.jpg?w=600&ssl=1

Further investigations revealed that the management of the BRT franchise operator in Lagos – Primero Transport Services Limited – is experiencing a face-off with their suppliers of fuel.

This situation has warranted the withdrawal of some buses in their fleet from the roads, thus causing a shortage of active BRT buses.

Primero Transport Services Limited was established two years ago to operate the BRT buses from Ikorodu to CMS.

His Excellency Mr. Akinwumi Ambode launched the operation of the company on 12 November 2015

Primero commenced its BRT services with 434 Youtong high capacity buses.

The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Primero Transport Services Limited is Mr. Fola Tinubu.

Four children of the same mother were burnt to death at their home in Animal Line by Dore Street, off Mciver Market in Warri, Delta State, on Tuesday night, March 5th.

The children who were between the ages of six months to six years old, were in their house waiting for their mum to finish preparing dinner when an explosion that engulfed their building occurred.

Although the cause of the fire is yet unknown, it is believed that the mother might have been using adulterated kerosene to cook.

The mother of the children sustained serious burns and was rushed to Oghara hospital where she is receiving medical attention.

Chairman of the Warri South Local Government Area, Dr Michael Tidi, who was at the scene of the incident on Wednesday morning, said the remains of the children has been deposited in the morgue.
