NJC probe: How Salami, ACN chieftains exchanged calls •Contents of call logs uncovered

CONTENTS of call logs admitted in evidence by the National Judicial Council (NJC) probe panel investigating alleged corruption in the handling of governorship appeals in Osun and Ekiti states have

been finally uncovered.



In the final address of the petitioners; former Governors Segun Oni of Ekiti, Olagunsoye Oyinlola of Osun and the Peoples Democratic Party (Osun State) to the Justice Umaru Abdullahi panel, the blow-by-blow account of how the alleged unethical calls were made between the President of the Court of Appeal, Isa Ayo Salami and chieftains of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) were detailed.

According to the document obtained by the Nigerian Tribune; “On 11th, November, 2010, ACN chieftain and spokesman, Lai Mohammed called one Tunji Ijaya (08034010700), a well known associate of Justice Ayo Salami and an ACN sympathiser, at 8.36 a.m. from Kosofe, Lagos, less than one hour later, precisely at 9.30 a.m., Mohammed called Ijaya again.

\“On 12th November, 2010 at 1.35 p.m., and at 1.39 p.m., Tunji Ijaya called Justice Ayo Salami twice from Ikeja, Lagos, precisely around Royal Exchange Assurance area.
A

t 3.14 p.m., same day (12th November, 2010), Lagos contractor and ACN financier, Kayode Olowolafe, called Ijaya from Bourdillion Road, where Bola Tinubu has his residence. “Between 6.50 p.m. and 9.12 p.m. on the same 12th November, 2010, Olowolafe exchanged texts with Ijaya.
“

Still on the 12th November, 2010, Lai Mohammed called Ijaya three times between 10.38 p.m. and 12 midnight.

“On 13th November, 2010, Lai Mohammed called Ijaya at 7.11 p.m. from Farimu Layout, Kosofe, Lagos.

“On 15th November, 2010, Justice Salami called Ijaya at 12.18 p.m. for 151 seconds from 118, Waziri Ibrahim Street, Eti-Osa, Lagos.

“On 16th November, 2010, Justice Salami exchanged eight SMS texts with Turaki Kabiru Tanimu, ACN chieftain and 2011 governorship candidate for Kebbi State at 4.34 a.m.

“On 16th November, 2010, Justice Paul Galinge (08038700932), a member of the Osun panel exchanged four SMS texts with Justice Salami at 7.15 a.m.

“On 17th November, 2010, Justice Salami sent SMS twice to Ijaya at 8.40 p.m.

“The following day, 18th November, 2010, Justice Salami called Ijaya twice between 9.20 p.m. and 9.21 p.m.

“On 24th November, 2010, Justice Salami called Ijaya at 8.40 p.m. and he spoke with him for 399 seconds (six minutes) and for 407 seconds at 9.35 p.m.

“On 25th November, 2010, Lai Mohammed called Ijaya at 4.36 p.m. for 60 seconds from Abuja around the National Stadium area. Same day, 25th November, 2010, Olowolafe exchanged four SMS with Ijaya between 6.14 p.m. and 6.18 p.m.

“On judgment day, 26th November, 2010, very early at 8.03a.m., Lai Mohammed called Ijaya and they spoke for 73 seconds. In the evening of that day, Justice Salami received a call at 9.40 p.m. through Justice Clara Ogunbiyi’s husband’s line (08035039519). Same day, he exchanged SMS with Ijaya at 9.22 p.m.

“On 12th December, 2010, Lai Mohammed exchanged text messages with Justice Salami at 14.50 hrs.”

Chairman of the party also contended in the address that “That communication between the Court of Appeal Justices and the ACN lawyers on one hand, and Justice Salami and ACN chieftains on the other hand as revealed in the call logs referred to in the petition was unethical.

“That Justice Salami did not deny the telephone interaction as revealed by the call logs but queried propriety of the invasion of has privacy under Section 37 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as reported by the Nigerian Tribune publication of 10th May, 2011.

“That Justice Salami admitted the issue of financial inducement in the landmark interview that he granted in the publication of ThisDay Newspaper of January 25th, 2011.”

The petitioners also released the documented testimony of the National Security Officer through Director, Lawful Intercept, Ndubuisi Onyia which read: “Mr Onyia, the Director of Lawful Intercept of NSA confirmed the authenticity of the call logs exhibits 12(2), 12(3), 12(4), 12(5), 12(6), 12(7), 12(, 12(9), 12(10), 12(11), 12(12), 12(13) and 14(b) before the panel as follows:

On the 19th April 2011, he said he received a letter from NJC requesting that call logs covering some phone numbers, including that of Justice Salami, whose telephone number is 08034004871, Ijaya whose telephone number, is 08034010700 and Lai Mohammed, whose telephone number is 08034303333 be made available to NJC.

The letter is tendered as exhibit 11. Mr Onyia said because of the voluminous nature of the call logs he accompanied a USB flash disk with a cover letter, exhibit 17A to NJC where the call logs exhibits 4, 5 12, (13), 14(b) were downloaded and received by the director of administration of NJC.

“Under cross examination, Onyia stated as follows: “My position at the NSA is not in doubt; NSA can clear me. There is no limitation as to any form of communication that we can use to obtain information. I choose e-mail because it is quicker and we have a time limit from NJC Panel. I sent a letter to NJC not e-mail. I do send information both by e-mail and hardcopy. We got the response by e-mail because of the urgency of this matter.

“The information in the flash drive was not scrambled because it was handled person to person. I hold B. Sc Economics and HND Engineering in Telecommunication. I have heard about cloning in Telecommunication. It depends on your level in Engineering to clone. I am hearing cloning of phone number from you for the first time. I identified the filename in the flash not the content.

“I came to testify on the letter and the call logs. I confirm that call logs exhibits 4, 5, 9, 10, 12(2), 12(3), 12(4), 12(5), 12(6), 12(7), 12(, 12(9), 12(10), 12(11), 12(12) and 12(13) are all from the office of the National Security Adviser, downloaded from exhibit 14(b) - USB flash drive.”

Oyinlola asked the panel to hold that by empanelling those he "trusted" to handle the Osun case, Justice Salami had breached his judicial oath to discharge his duties without fear or favour, affection or ill will.

He's the god of corruption and every corrupt person shall bow before him.

Fashola visited Toronto earlier this year to inspect the TTC trains.

The Lagos deal would be the first of its kind for the TTC. Decommissioned cars are usually sold for scrap metal and can fetch up to $1,500 dollar each. While Ross declined to discuss specific figures, he says the sticker price for Lagos is "significantly more" than scrap prices, putting the potential profits to the TTC in the millions of dollars.

It is not unusual for technology from western nations to end up in poorer countries. Marketplaces in Africa and Asia are flooded with North American clothes, computers, and even cars, but the purchase of larger technology like trains is rarer.

The cars will have to be significantly refurbished to fit existing infrastructure in Lagos, and some Nigerian media reports have lamented that the government appears to have settled on "tokundo," or used, trains instead of brand new vehicles.

Although half the cars are more than 30 years old, Ross is adamant they are perfectly safe and are only being decommissioned for capacity reasons. But he also admitted the TTC is not required to make sure the cars meet any safety standards before selling them.

"Once sold, it's up to the new operator to ensure they are in good working order," he said. "They do need to be maintained much more frequently than the new trains, simply because of their age. At some point they will run out their useful life."

Murtaza Haider, director of the Institute of Housing and Mobility at Ryerson University, said the age of the cars is definitely a cause for concern.

"We should be ensuring that there is some service life left in these vehicles and we're not going to be playing havoc with the lives of those who would ride these vehicles," Haider said. "There's metal fatigue, and that metal fatigue could result in dangerous conditions. I would be paying a close watch on this for the next ten years to see how many accidents do happen in Lagos."

How We Spent N160bn World Bank Loan on Light Rail Project

He, therefore, explained that the state government already “has in place, strategies to repay the loan. The federal government was in the know of the state’s decision to take the bond and it approved it.”

He added that the truth “is that what they do not also say is that no state in Nigeria can borrow money outside, from any multilateral agencies without the approval of the federal government.

“What they did not say is that they approved it. No state can raise money by bond the way we have done without the federal government’s approval. Both SEC and NSE are all federal regulatory agencies through which we must pass. If they said okay, it means there must be something good about the debt.

When is the light rail going to be delivered, the project seems to be going on for years?

I just said it, it’s being funded by Lagos State and the Federal Government support is not there. But I believe strongly that we will create a financial restructuring that will allow us to deliver that light rail within the next 18 months.

Dollarization Of The APC Primaries: How Amaehi Vanquished Atiku #saibuhari

The blogosphere was inundated with reports of the excessive sharing of dollars at the All Progressives Congress which took place during the latter part of last week.

One APC supporter and Special Adviser to Osun Governor on Environment, BolaIlori had blown the scandal open after he saw the beginning stages of the dollarization in action.

He took to his Facebook page and scribbled, “Crazy things are happening here!!! Some of these cannot represent the change Nigeria is yearning for. Excessive dollarization by one of the aspirants to is to say the least obscene. I have been involved in political process for decades now, I have never witnessed this volume of raw dollarization of party primaries. I only read about this kind of things in PDP primaries. A question been asked by conscientious delegates is that whoever can be giving out between $2000 to $5000 to…delegates certainly does not represent the kind of change Nigerians want…those who contributed to the pauperization of Nigeria now revel in dollarization… majority of Ondo delegates are still standing with Buhari but have been reduced from 85% to 70% within 24 hours…the remaining has gone with dollars ooo.!!!!!”

One has to wonder how Buhari was able to win the primaries in this era of stomach infrastructure where dollars are like the Biblical manna that God sent down from heaven to nourish the Israelites as they made their way to the promised land.

Sources close to the APC with knowledge of the way the Primaries unfolded have revealed that it was Rivers State Governor, Amaechi who flew back to Rivers State and returned to Lagos on Thursday morning with enough dollars to make Benjamin Franklin blush.

It has been revealed that Atiku offered the delegates $5000 each, but Amaechi doubled it to $10000 a pop. Thus turning the tables in favour of General Buhari.

Since his adventure into the APC, Amaechi has gone out of his way to prove himself a party loyalist, always the first to shoki or azonto at the many events the APC holds, which he himself is usually the chief sponsor.

According to party insiders, Amaechi has overtaken Tinubu as the major financier of the party. One does not need to wonder why he is always at President Jonathan’s throat over misappropriated oil wells or other such business. Anything that diminishes from the State’s coffers will have a ripple effect on his funding budget for the APC.

16 years of dividends of democracy! It is sad we get so high on political affiliations that many ignore the staring realities whichever political divide we find ourselves, we all ply the same bad roads bearing the consequences of incompetency and God forbids that it leads to accidents, untimely death knows no Pro-APC nor Pro-PDP. Rather than people close marking their State Governors and local government chairmen, they prefer being busy blowing hot air online!

'How I spent my morning!!!!!! I played on the beach this morning, haven't done that in a while, sooooo thankful for grace and provision. This has been a great time out!
Thank you Miami!!!!! It's been real'
