The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has dismissed as fake news reports claiming that Interpol rejected its wanted alert on Bashir Haske, son-in-law of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

In a statement issued on Saturday, the anti-graft agency described the reports as false, stressing that no such rejection came from Interpol.

The EFCC had earlier declared Haske wanted over alleged financial crimes. However, shortly after the declaration, reports surfaced alleging that Interpol turned down the alert on grounds of political persecution—claims the Commission has now debunked.

The disorderly conduct of Wasiu Ayinde, the veteran Fuji musician, led to the suspension of two ValueJet pilots by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), TheCable understands.

Ayinde is popularly known as Kwam 1 or K1 De Ultimate and commands a huge following in Nigeria’s music industry, having popularised the Fuji genre.

Sources informed TheCable that Kwam 1, who was onboard a ValueJet plane on August 5, was seen drinking from a flask and was approached by a flight attendant who suspected that the content was alcohol — a substance prohibited onboard aircraft in Nigeria.

The attendant was said to have asked the musician to surrender the flask, but Kwam 1 refused, saying it was medication prescribed by his doctor.

TheCable understands that following his refusal to give up the flask, the flight crew deboarded the celebrity.

Consequently, an enraged Kwam 1 proceeded to the front of the aircraft in an attempt to prevent it from taking off.

In a video seen by TheCable on Wednesday, the Fuji artist was seen standing in front of the aircraft, with ground personnel interacting with him.

Seconds later, Kwam 1 and the ground personnel were seen dodging the wing of the ValueJet plane as the flight forcefully took off in breach of aviation safety rules.

In response, the NCAA, on August 6, announced the suspension of two pilots over the incident which occurred at the domestic terminal of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

The authority said it received reports of a serious breach of aviation safety protocols involving a ValueJet flight.

According to the NCAA, the pilots commenced departure procedures from the designated bay without adhering to the mandatory pre-departure clearance protocols.

“This reckless action endangered the safety of ground personnel and other airport users, contravening established civil aviation regulations and international safety standards,” the NCAA had said.

Apart from the suspension of the pilots, the aviation authority is considering punitive measures for Kwam 1, such as being put on a ‘no-fly list’, over his unruly conduct.

A ‘no-fly list’ is a database of individuals prohibited from boarding commercial flights due to suspected links to terrorism or other security threats.

If the NCAA goes ahead with the punishment, Kwam 1’s international and local engagements may take a hit.

Former Super Eagles first-choice goalkeeper, Peter Rufai, is dead.

Rufai passed away on Thursday after battling with prolonged illness. He was 61 years.

During his playing career that lasted two decades, Rufai played in Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain.

He also represented Nigeria at two World Cups and as many Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.

Please, also release the email Peter Obi begged you to make him a governor of Anambra state

Dear Citizens of Nigeria.

Please find attached an email sent to me by Peter Obi at 6:13 PM on Monday, October 8, 2018. Four days after this email was sent, Peter Obi was announced as Waziri Atiku Abubakar's running mate on Friday, October 12, 2018.

I am sure very reasonable and objective Nigerians can read his email, follow the timeline, and draw whatever inference they want.

My ONLY motive in publishing this evidence is to establish that I did not lie. I would not have considered publishing this email if a Peter Obi surrogate had not called me a liar on a popular podcast.

Everything I said during my interview is true and can be backed up with DOCUMENTARY evidence.

If this email is fake or AI generated, then I challenge Mr. Obi to deny it, and I will publish even more damning evidence, although it is not my desire to do so.

However, even if I am nothing, at least I am a meticulous record keeper.

Thank you all, and may God bless Nigeria, as well as you, and your loved ones.

Because an agent of Peter Obi went on record in a video interview as calling me a liar over my assertion that Peter Obi emailed me his resume, unsolicited by me, and kept on harassing me with calls when he wanted my help to be made running mate to Waziri Atiku Abubakar, I am left with no choice but to publish the evidence.

The evidence will be published by 8:30 PM, Nigerian time.

My ONLY motive in publishing this evidence is to establish that I did not lie. I would not have even considered publishing this email if I had not been called a liar. See you at 8:30 PM.

He mentioned in the video that the court document was served to “unknown” person.

You just proved him right.

How do you serve an unknown person a notice?

Jamiubond009:
Hmm is this really a deserved award or just rewarding of praise singers

lonelydora:
Just because he's a rival to El-rufai.

Tinubu is just interested in political conquest. He has nothing to offer.
