Mimi Atedze reporting, Makurdi Nigeria

It is confirmed that CEO Star Sharwama was arrested and detained yesterday by EFCC officials in Makurdi.

A female EFCC staff ordered and paid for an item , she was supposed to pay 1500 but made an online transaction of 1600 instead.

Meanwhile Star Sharwama was expecting an alert for the Payment of 1500 but the alert did not drop , they saw an alert but assumed it was for another person's order not hers because her bill was 1500 and not 1600.

kept calling to remind her of their money, when they finally got the statement from the bank which showed that she was the person who made the payment of 1600, Star Sharwama called to inform her and apologize for everything but she was very angry and vowed to deal with them .

On Wednesday Miss Ato was arrested with other staff of her restaurant and detained at Efcc office in Makurdi, the others were later released, but she was kept in detention and released around 7 pm, she was accused of fraud .

She was asked to report back today on allegations of fraud. Miss Ato was to be charged to court today for fraud.

This is the arrest video and that the the charge sheet ....

Not a direct answer to your question but to you and anyone else who comes across this issue in the future, this video addresses the question, do the Nigerian Customs have the power to seize cars or not?

Ignorance they say is no excuse before the law.

Please consult a lawyer so you will be properly guided to navigate the minefield you have found yourself

Owerri1stSon:
It all started yesterday, 14th or March when I was heading to a burial at around 11am.

My longtime class mate's Mom died, so I really needed to attend that burial since it was over 8 years since I saw him back in Abuja and now I am in IMO State, and since they are coming to IMO State for their Mom's burial, I deemed it necessary to attend that burial.

Besides, we were family friends aside being in same sec. school.

I alighted at fire service in owerri, and decided trekking to the burial which is not far from the road when a SARS officer called me and was like I should give him my phone.

I wanted hesitating but while he was talking, I noticed that he just finished smoking ibo with one of those strong drinks, so I didn't want trouble or what might lead to another, I had to give him the phone.

He started checking my phone;

*He checked all my pictures from a—z but couldn't find anything.

He went to hangout and checked it but it wasn't even activated

He asked me what so many gmails were doing in my phone? That if I know the implications of many gmail in my phone, I will decide to settle with him there.

I was like WTF? Gmails? I use them in case of any online registration but he said I am "A YAHOO BOY."

I told him to to check all gmails and see if there was any yahoo message or any message that would indict me, he refused and asked me to follow him to the station.

The station was very closed by.

There he took me and handed me to some SARS officers there and was like 'This is is one of them"

There, I met other 21 innocent guys too then I knew my case was about to start.

They gave my phone to an officer who checked phones to know if guys are doing "Yahoo or Not" and when he checked my phone, he was like what is google translator doing in my phone? That I am a suspect. Just like that?

I was like sir, check those google translator and if you see any sentence that relate to yahoo, you can arrest me, he said so far I had "Google Translator" in my phone, I am a suspect..

I told them that I was attending a burial before I was called, that even if the want to hold the phone till I come back, they should cause I can't miss this, they told me to shutup.

I tried explaining to an elderly police man, what I got was a slap from him, shouting that I am a suspect, I am foolish, this and that.

I was with other innocent guys there for over 4-5 hours before my phone was pickup to be checked again.

I called them innocent because I was there when their phones where equally checked and upon finding nothing on their phones, they still arrested and wanted putting them in cell. 4 of them had to bail themselves for 24k each.

I wanted attending a burial around 11am and now, this is 4:20pm I was still with them.

My phone was recheck maybe after seeing that I ain't giving them nothing or any sort of money, they gave it back to me and allowed me to go..

I was thinking of suing them most especially the elderly man for slapping me just because I was trying to explain things to him

This stuff just made me hated Nigeria more and more.

The Police Station in Owerri, behind Fire service is a total mess.

The police/sars there are armed robbers and thieves, please, this should be checkmated.

I believe they always give them target and commission for bring guys.

They get paid if any of the guys bails themselves.

They extort illegally!!!

Know your rights. Whether or not you have a lawyer. Even better still if you have a lawyer.

The other day they attempted the same on a guy who insisted on making a video of their illegal search...needless to say they left his alone after a while

When does the police have the power to search?

Apeshy101:
The Economic and financial crime commission (EFCC) has announced via the commission’s verified Twitter Account that it has arrested a blogger identified Mr Dikeocha Chukwuebuka who published a fake tweet purported to be the commission’s cell in Portharcourt.
www.nairaland.com/attachments/11118615_1_jpeg83b5009e040969ee7b60362ad7426573

The Port Harcourt Zonal Head of the Commission, Mr Usman Imam who announced the arrest while briefing newsmen in Port Harcourt today, February 27, 2020 said the suspect was picked up at about 4pm on Wednesday, February 26, 2020 .


Describing the report as most embarrassing he said “I want to assure the suspect and indeed the media, that the Commission will follow through this investigation and ensure that justice is served in accordance with the law,”

He also urged social media influence’s to be weary of fake news.

Recall that EFCC had on February 12, 2020 vowed to apprehend the promoter of a report in the social media, which falsely claimed that the Commission’s holding facility is overcrowded, while detainees are allegedly subjected to mistreatment.

In the photo that went viral on social media, Mr Dikeocha Chukwuebuka with Twitter handle @TheRealDayne claimed that the photo was EFCC’s detention center and that suspects were treated with contempt

Is the arrest of this blogger by the EFCC a legitimate exercise of the power to arrest?

Join me as I dissect the Power of Arrest and/or the Power to Arrest under Nigerian Criminal Law, the first video in the series can be found here:

98.1251% of people that have commented and would comment, do not understand the news.

Neither do they know what is a Garnishee order absolute.

In simple terms- Garnishee order arises when a court instructs a third party (the bank) to pay a creditor a certain sum on behalf of the debtor. In this case, CBN is to pay a team of lawyers on behalf of FG (debtor).

GTB has a similar case with Innoson.

Failure to do so will attract consequences.

What I don't understand is why Emefiele would go to jail. What happened to entity concept?


Emefiele is different from CBN. It is just like Segun Agbaje going to jail for failure to pay Innoson a sum.

Abi, somebody epp me out.

For ignoring court summons, we published two videos that discussed the power of a court to summon/the power of criminal summon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERY1bIOLM1c

Under Nigerian Law, you can either be served a criminal summons, meaning that you are the accused, the CBN Governor is the accused, or a witness summons, which means you know something about the offence, come and tell the court, this happened to President Goodluck Jonathan in 2013.

Our other video tells you everything about criminal summons in plain language


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eDAkc8I6U4

Interestingly, it was published a few moments ago

In this YouTube video, some of the questions we answer include which of these legislations have provisions for public summons - ACJA, ACJL, CPA and CPC?

Which legislation permits a courier service to serve summons?

When summons are served on a Sunday or a public holiday, the date the summons takes effect is the next working day, how about summons issued on a Sunday or public holiday, on what date does it take effect?

Can you differentiate between the effect of disobedience to summons under the ACJA, ACJL, CP and CPC?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERY1bIOLM1c

President Goodluck Jonathan, Chief Justice of Nigeria Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen, Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki, Inspector General of Police Ibrahim Idris.

What do these names have in common?

SUMMONS!

All of them received court summons while in office!!

In this part, we introduce our listeners to the concept of summons and the power of summons/the power to summon using some real-life summons.

Next, we treat the power of search in criminal proceedings generally in Nigeria; then we introduce our viewers to the three types of search recognized by Nigerian Law; thereafter we take each type of search i.e., Search of Persons, Search of Premises, Search of Things and help the viewer see the provisions of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, Administration of Criminal Justice Law, the Criminal Procedure Act and the Criminal Procedure Code in that order.
