Andookaa SAN gave a clean bill of health to ex governor,James Ibori which led to the vacation of the freezing order on his £ 35 million assets suspected to have been looted from the treasury of Delta state government,

"The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice also corrected insinuations in the media that he wrote a letter to the London Court in respect of the case involving Chief Ibori. He explained that his letter of  August 7, 2007 was only a response to  a letter from Chief Ibori's counsel, Mr Speech Bircham of the City Dispute Resolution Solicitors, London", the statement said.

President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua has engaged lobbyists in the United States to project the image of his government in that country, THISDAY can now reveal

According to records the US Justice Department posted online, Watts Consulting Group has signed a preliminary contract with the new government of President Yar’Adua in the hopes of inking a longer-term deal.

AN ACUSED IS NOT GUILTY UNTIL PROVED OTHERWISE BY A COMPETENT COURT OF LAW

British Police did ask the AGF, their letter was never replied

Ibori as a fugitive was meeting with Yar'adua in New York during the UN General Assembly

Is Ibori still under investigation?

Ibori was investigated while in office = Ibori is no longer investigated now that he is out of office.

Sir, it is wrong procedure to ask the AG for the legal situation, the police and the EFCC can provide that, they are arms of government.

Why did he use different phrases as investigation while in office but not charged to court while out of office. Why did he not state that he is still under investigation.

The office of the AG is being abused and you say it is the EFCC that is not presenting a case, is it the EFCC that wrote a letter to the court??

1. Chief James Onanefe Ibori, has been charged to any court of law in Nigeria? NO

2. Chief James Onanefe Ibori, has been tried and/or convicted by any court of law in Nigeria for any offence relating to money laundering? NO

3. was there a request for a freezing order emanating from my office(AGF) against your client(IBORI)? NO

We need them, they don't need us. Period

Reason: Nigeria is not happy with the way Nigerians are treated by the Visa Section of the Canadian High commission in Nigeria

“That there is no record that your client, Chief James Onanefe Ibori, has been charged to any court of law in Nigeria in respect of any offence relating to money laundering or any other offences in connection with his acts and activities whilst in office as Governor of Delta State between 29th May, 1999 and 29th May, 2007.

“That your client, Chief James Onanefe Ibori, has not been tried and/or convicted by any court of law in Nigeria for any offence relating to money laundering or any other offences in connection with his acts and activities whilst in office as Governor of Delta State between 29th May, 1999 and 29th May, 2007.

“That there was no request for a freezing order emanating from my office against your client pursuant to the exercise of my power under Article 3 of the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty.”

It's just human nature to take part in downward comparisons in order to make ourselves feel better.

Belgium has been locked in political stalemate since elections in June failed to produce a new government.

The uncertainty has sparked fierce debate over whether the country should be split into the mainly Dutch-speaking Flanders and French-speaking Wallonia regions.

He is right - whats wrong with that?

"When I remember the situation that I saw in Congo 47 years ago and the situation that Nigeria was then; and the situation that Nigeria is today and the situation that the Democratic Republic of Congo still faces today, then we must thank God for His mercies."

The former Plateau State governor had in a petition to President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua accused the EFCC of appropriating N741 million of the N770,056,000 seized from him in the United Kingdom.

However, the EFCC said yesterday that the commission’s only involvement in Dariye’s case with the London Metropolitan Police was “to the extent that EFCC assisted the Metropolitan Police with information and evidence to help it in the investigation and prosecution of Chief Dariye over his contravention of UK money laundering laws, in line with Section 6 (j) and (k) of the EFCC Establishment Act.”
In a statement signed by Mr. Osita Nwajah, Head of Media and Publicity, the commission said it was the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation that handled the repatriation of the loot.

The Guardian learnt that the students were protesting the death of one of their colleagues in an accident in front of the university and had dug up part of the road to act as a speed breaker when the convoy ran into them. Chime was said to have alighted from his car and was talking with some of the students who appeared pacified when, suddenly, some of his security aides in front panicked and started shooting sporadically

Sources said most of the students took to their heels when the shots rang out. However, two of them died from gunshots, while many others were wounded. The governor was quickly spirited out of harm's way.

Special Adviser on Media to the Kogi State Governor, Mr. Farouk Adejo, who confirmed the incident however told The Guardian that as at press time, it had been brought under control. He said Governor Idris, who is on lesser Hajj to Saudi Arabia, had been notified of the incident

Either OBJ likes it or not, he'll be made to pay for his misuse of power one day and thats for real.

that is not true we do care and that is why we are against IBB or his boys ever coming to rule us.

Then you will be stuck with Jonathan "Badluck"---Alamayesigha's twin brother!

you can carry a weapon if you are a police officer,

it just has to be declared
