EXCLUSIVE: EFCC Arrests Atiku’s Lawyer Uyi Giwa-Osagie For 'Laundering' $2m

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKFEB 19, 2019



he Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Uyi Giwa Osagie, the lawyer and treasurer of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, for alleged money laundering.

Osagie was arrested on Monday following the arrest of Alhaji Abdullahi Usman, a notorious BDC owner based in Lagos, who was caught ferrying $2milion by air from Abuja to Lagos.

When the money was intercepted by EFCC, Usman confessed that Uyi paid naira equivalent of $4million into his account. He converted it to $2million pieces and ferried to Lagos, and on arrival took it to Keystone Bank.

A source familiar with the matter said this was money Atiku was to use in settling all his party people ahead of the elections. After arresting Uyi, EFCC operatives searched his Ikoyi Reeve Road home and found documents linking him to Atiku. He was reportedly recalcitrant during the arrest, and is still in EFCC detention.

Also, presidency sources told SaharaReporters that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) postponed the election to allow Atiku get money from other sources.

EFCC spokeman Tony Orilade refused to confirm the arrest, telling SaharaReporters he could not make any statement on the issue until he had received clearance from the authorities.

I know an unalloyed lie when I see one
Who told you muguns that FFK commands that much clout outside his orbit of delusion?

Have you seen the list of foreign observers accredited by INEC? Or do you think Nigeria is some uninhabited island any maverick can simply waltz into?

HigherEd:

Shut your demonic mouth you this child of perdition how does church come into this argument? Does church collects your oil revenue? Does church receive allocations from your treasury? So how has the church impeded your govt from doing the same the Chinese govt is doing. Don't just make reductive and non correlating comments from your dysfunctional brain.

There are 52,000 churches in UK, 380,000 in USA yet they have lived in perpetual prosperity for centuries. The Britain that evangelized Christianity all over the world was more stronger, wealthier then than now when its Christianity has waned.


Church is a private community of individuals that exists all over the world which has blessed numerous communities and fought for many social justice issue. And mind you there are over 72 million Christians in China... And we are growing there in a phenomenal rate. So you go tell the bastard of a devil that sent you that you have failed in your demonic mission to associate Christianity with penury...

It is you who needs to zip it!

The Britain that evangelized Christianity all over the world was more stronger, wealthier then than now when its Christianity has waned.

Do you understand the history of Britain at all? Do you know how that nation's wealth was acquired? Wait - don't tell me - history is not taught in schools in Nigeria.

If you don't know there is a direct correlation between the number of faith-based organisations in Nigeria and the country's retarded development, it is because you have poor tools of analysis. Simple.

We're products of the information we contain. Sir, may I crave your indulgence to school you on the Igbos, properly change the stereotypical narrative that had bewildered few of us.

First, you make mention of Igbos lacking in innovation and other metrics of a great clans. May I start by mentioning many of Igbos in the new order that has changed the face of the world.

1. Eboe Osuji = ICC President
2. Arunma Oteh OON= is the Treasurer and a Vice President of the World Bank.
3. Phillip Emegwalim- Father of Internet
4. Chimammada Adiche
5.Ngozi Okonjo
6. Oby Okwesili
7. Chukwuma Soludo.

In sports, do you have doubts, because the greatest footballers in Nigeria today are Igbos.
In Entertainment industry we're doing too well.
Commerce, even our enemies will give it to us.

Sir... You talked about hate, wow! Sir! Are you aware that Igbos has a helping methodology called Igba Booyi? It's a system where a person is asked to serve somebody without any form of legal documentation for years, and at the end of 4=5 years he/she is settled?
Igbos have shown more love among them, when compared to many.

While the appraisal provided by the Prof is one that can easily be applied to any of the larger ethnic groups and is, invariably, difficult to fault; what do you offer in return beyond the most puerile of responses kernel001?

How does the personal accomplishment of each individual you mentioned up there, which was attained in a completely different milieu, invalidate the Prof's incisive analysis?

@POLITICSNGR
Permit me to share just one example of that cruelty here. One of the most notorious and egregious acts of wickedness that Tinubu has ever indulged in is the fact that he encouraged his puppet governors in Lagos state to prosecute Prophet T.B .Joshua's SCOAN Church after the Church went through the trauma, hardship and tragedy of being bombed by a group of callous and heartless terrorists a few years earlier resulting in the death of almost 200 innocent souls, most of whom were foreigners.

Tinubu knew the facts and knew what really happened but because he hates the Church so much he sought to cover up the truth and instead joined hands with others and blame the bombing of the building on the victims, the Church itself and the man of God, alleging that the structure was not well-built and that it had a faulty foundation.

FFK, Nigeria's David Icke, peddler of conspiracy theories by the truckload, has spoken.

I suppose Tinubu should simply have authorised "his puppet governors in Lagos" to lap up T.B Joshua's conjectural account about what led to the building's collapse instead.

...Joshua, known to his followers as The Prophet or The Man of God because of supposed miracle-working and clairvoyant powers, has claimed the building fell because of sabotage.

But engineers have indicated that the addition of extra floors without strengthening the foundations caused the collapse.

Ayinde said the main auditorium of the church, to which thousands flock every week to hear Joshua's sermons, had been given approval for five floors on 1 January 2004.

But subsequent inspections had determined that three extra floors were being added, in contravention of the approval, he said, calling the auditorium "structurally defective".

"The ongoing construction on the existing five floors to eight is not being professionally executed," he told the hearing.

"During our visit, we saw a column being erected on a water tank. It shows that building professionals are not used."

Child Support Payments
If you owe $2,500 or more in child support, you are not eligible to receive a U.S. passport.

Pay your child support arrears to the appropriate state child support enforcement agency before applying for your passport.

If You've Already Applied for your Passport
Make arrangements to pay your child support arrears with the appropriate state child support enforcement agency.
The state agency reports to HHS that you've made acceptable payment arrangements.
HHS removes your name from their list and reports this to us. This may take 2-3 weeks.
We verify that HHS removed your name.
We process your application normally.
Please Note: Direct all questions about your child support arrears to the appropriate state child support enforcement agency. We have no information about your child support obligations, just if you have arrears greater than $2,500.

Driver’s License Reinstatement

The Georgia Division of Child Support Services (DCSS) has made revisions to the driver’s license process as a result of an amendment to GA Law, O.C.G.A. §19-11.9.3(o). The law states that DCSS will inform delinquent noncustodial parents (NCPs) of resources that are available to them as potential alternatives to driver’s license suspension.

These License suspension options are available to any NCP who notifies DCSS about significant changes in their employment and income. They must provide verification of a new job, the loss of a job or any change in income. It is very important for the NCP to contact DCSS as soon as possible so that they will have an opportunity to explain their circumstances. They will also be encouraged to sign an Enforcement Deferral which will help them to avoid license suspension if they pay as agreed.

Not hold the same opinion with you doesn't make me a clown. When I mentioned the so called socialist programmes, I only mentioned America. Those programmes aren't even socialist in the strict sense. No matter how people want to put it, Venezuela is a socialist country and that is the cause of their suffering. Full blown socialism.

A lot of people ignorantly mention most of the countries you stated to support socialism. They are capitalist economies. Here is a quote from the prime minister of Denmark.

When you make a statement which argues that socialism normalises envy, without offering further qualification or context, that amounts to clowning around to me. But in order to not to lower the tempo of this discussion needlessly, I would withdraw that remark and also tender an apology.

When you offer a quote from a centre-right PM in Denmark to invalidate my point about having "strong socialist systems", are you just trying to be as opaque as possible? I am asking because what I wrote is nothing short of a view that is commonly held by most political observers - regardless of where they stand on the political divide.

@OP who lines up a long list of ills associated with socialism, also readily admits that the examples he provided are hardly 100% socialist. To be clear, without meaning to do so, he inadvertently reinforces the view advanced by the socialist party of Britain; which holds that there are no socialist countries in the world at present.

There are none in Europe, which is suffering from a great capitalist crisis. In Latin America, Venezuela is not socialist, despite nationalising some enterprises. See articles on Venezuela here.

Moving swiftly on, would the same clown be prepared to accept that some of the most stable economies in the world today - Denmark, Norway and Sweden - also have strong socialist systems? Why is that so? Would he acknowledge the benefits that accrue from the provisions made by the state in the areas of education, health care, pensions, and so on, in those countries?

All thanks to Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for having the foresight to revitalize the railway industry in Nigeria, all revitalized railways in Nigeria was contracted, started and fully paid for by the President Jonathan led PDP government.

This is one of many projects constituted by the PDP administration.

Kudos to PMB for completing the work on behalf of the Jonathan presidency for Nigerians.

With that in hand it is pertinent to still remind Nigerians that the Buhari led FG can not point to a project started and completed in the last 3 and half years.

Fully paid by the Jonathan led PDP government
You are such an unrepentant liar.

quote]The Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, who signed on behalf of the Federal Government, had said the cost reduction for the projects was achieved after the contract was renegotiated by both parties.

“The contract was awarded by the regime of former President Goodluck Jonathan for $11.917bn. When we took over at the ministry, we renegotiated with the CCECC and we succeeded in reducing the contract sum from $11.917bn to $11.117bn and we are able to save $800m after the renegotiation,” he had explained.

Amaechi also said the projects should be completed in two years, adding that the railways would be connected to the seaports.[/quote]

https://www.rootstv.ng/2019/02/07/duke-backs-out-of-presidential-race-endorses-buhari/amp/?__twitter_impression=true
due to litigation and inability to campaign.

This blogger is getting ahead of him/herself.
You mean Olu Falae also endorsed Buhari?

“Even the national chairman was not in the meeting so it is a fraction and many state chairmen did not come. We were aware of the meeting and we are going to respond tomorrow.

”I can tell you categorically that the action was perpetrated by the faction led by the national secretary who is voted to be the running mate to Donald Duke.

“They ganged up and did that with Mr Duke who is nowhere to be found. We have not gotten the details but we are aware that the fraction has been into something since yesterday.”

He emphasised that it was not the entire NEC meeting that came up with the decision to support President Buhari in the coming general elections.

”It is not the NEC, I am a member of the NEC. How can you have a NEC meeting where you do not have the National Chairman, the publicity secretary, the youth leader and numbers of the zonal vice chairmen and Prof Jerry Gana who is also a senior stakeholder?”

Messrs Falae, Gana and Duke could not be reached as at the time of this report. Mr Gabam also did not pick his calls.

“The government at the time of Ige’s killers know the truth. That government protected – I repeat – protected, and rewarded his killers. Those who wish to dispute this had better first immerse themselves in the circumstances of that murder, and the unconstitutional, indeed illegal trajectory of the principal accused, one that not only facilitated his unconstitutional participation in the ensuing election but catapulted him straight to the occupancy of the seat that had been kept warm for him during his trial and absence,” Mr Soyinka said.

“On release, he was ushered straight into the slot of Chairman of the Appropriation Committee of the House of Representatives. That was not all. The head of that government, General Olusegun Obasanjo, proceeded to burnish Ige’s memory with characteristic zeal.”

Exhibit 2

The Adamawa Emirate (German: Adamaua; French: Adamaoua) is a traditional state located in Fombina, an area which now roughly corresponds to areas of Adamawa State and Taraba state in Nigeria, and previously also in the three northern provinces of Cameroon (Far North, North, and Adamawa), including minor Parts of Western Chad and the Central African Republic. It was founded by Modibo Adama, a commander of Sheikh Usman dan Fodio, the man who began the Fulani jihad in 1809. The capital was moved several times until it settled in Yola, Nigeria on the banks of the Benue River in Nigeria around 1841. At the time of Adama's death his realm encompassed parts of modern Nigeria and much of north Cameroon. It was technically part of the Fulani Empire, and it had to pay a tribute to the leaders in Sokoto.

Ogundamisi is an idiotic toad since he got blinded by this

There are too many untutored urchins on NL.

Meanwhile, the so-called aviation expert (Engineer Yakubu Dazhia) has some form for chicanery and subterfuge.

His name is Engineer Yakubu Dazhia. Jim said Dazhia was his contact man in Nigeria. Dazhia made us to believe that was the owner of the company in America.He said we should make available $460,000 as the cost for one engine. We consequently make available to Dazhia $460,000. After paying the said amount, we thought the engine would be brought to us within a week or two at most, but one month of waiting rolled over to two years since February, 2008 and up till date, we are yet to take delivery of the engine from Dazhia. After paying the money, this man did not show up from February till August,2008. We later got him on phone. He told me that he was not in the country and that he was in the United States of America(USA) for an eye surgery and I told him that since that was the place the engine was to be procured, ‘O.K let me come down to meet you’. He said I should come and he gave me his contact phone number I America. On getting there, I put a call through to him, this man refused to pick my call. Meanwhile, I did not have any other contact there except that of his accomplice-Captain Jim who I was able to locate in August,2008 who revealed to me that Engineer Yakubu Dazhia did not pay a dime to him for the engine procurement. Then, Captain Jim said if I can provide another $140,000, he would get me an engine. Again, I gave him the money in addition to another $50,000.Upon all, no engine was provided and neither was a refund made. In fact, this was the height of our problems and the consequent suspension of our operations in 2008. My Chairman was unhappy with the development and he said we should opt out of the airline business.

"No matter how long a lie is sustained, the truth will someday prevail." - T.B. Joshua

Anyone whose watched the video of that incident will know the circumstances surrounding it were not ordinary. I am no 'expert' but the manner and speed in which the building fell looked like a controlled demolition. The closeness of the plane is another genuine cause for concern.

I hope the court can finally get to the bottom of this. After all, September will make it five years since the incident happened!

NB - this documentary from a South African channel regarding the incident is also well worth a watch:

^^^You can continue deluding yourself and other T.B Joshua adherents.
You think we are all beholden to inverted logic?

When Ojo asked for his observation about the incident, Dazhia posed a question for the pilot of the aircraft. He said: “As a professional, I insist that only the pilot knows why he was flying at a low altitude. That is all I have to say.”

But under cross examination by Deputy Directors of Public Prosecution (DPP), Dr. Babajide Martins, Dazhia agreed that although he had an engineering degree, his Ph.D “has nothing to do with aircraft engineering.”

He also noted that he was not an aircraft traffic controller, a bomb expert or accident investigator. Neither did he lodge any complaint about the incident to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Organisation (NCAO).
