CrimePolice Arrest Man For Beheading Aunt by baslone(op): 4:41pm On Sep 07, 2011
Awka- The Police in Anambra on Tuesday arrested a man for allegedly cutting off his aunt’s head and dumping her body in the cesspit of an uncompleted building.

The State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Emeka Chukwuemeka, told newsmen in Awka that the suspect had confessed to the crime and was being held along with the aunt’s mother, brother and sister.

Chukwuemeka said that in spite of the confession by the prime suspect, the police would carry out further investigations to unravel the motive behind the crime.

“This is a heinous crime as far as we are concerned. We are working on the lead that he could not have committed the crime alone. We will eventually arrest those that must have carried out the act with him,” he said.

He said the crime was committed at Amawbia, near Awka, adding that the deceased, Mrs Margaret Nwanna, was said to have gone missing last week Friday.

“But none of the family members who lived in the same house with her could give account of her whereabouts.

“It was then that concerned relations of the deceased called the police who arrested every member of the household.

“It was during police interrogation that the suspect was said to have confessed to the crime and took the police to the place where the body of the deceased was dumped.

“Family sources said that there was no love lost between the deceased and the family of the prime suspect before the deceased was killed,” he added. (NAN)

It's just unfortunate that Abacha is a scape goat used to boast every administration's fight against corruption.

PoliticsFg Recovers N6.18b Looted Funds From Sani Abacha by baslone(op): 1:37pm On Sep 06, 2011
ABUJA, - The Federal Government has recovered £22.5m (about N6.18 billion) loot
from the family of the late Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha.



There are plans to recover $400million more, it was learnt yesterday.

The money is stashed away in the tiny Island of Jersey from where the £22.5m was recovered two weeks ago.

Jersey is an Island off the coast of Normandy, France.

Jersey and the Bailiwick of Guemsey are often referred to as the channel of Islands.
They are not part of the United Kingdom (UK), but the UK is constitutionally responsible
for the defence of Jersey.

Although not part of the European Union, Jersey is treated as a member for the purposes of free trade in goods.

The latest recovery adds to the millions of dollars and pounds recovered from the family
of Gen. Abacha, who died 13 years ago.

It was gathered that the loot was recovered by a three-man negotiating team, led by Attorney-General of
the Federation Mohammed Bello Adoke (SAN). The team visited the Island.

Damien Dodo (SAN) and Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Secretary Emmanuel Akonmaye
were on the delegation.

A source, who spoke in confidence, said: “Gen. Abacha stashed the funds through a Lebanese.

“When the Office of the AGF was alerted by a whistle-blower, the government opened discussions with the
Attorney-General of the Island of Jersey, who cooperated fully with the government, leading to the repatriation of the £22.5m.

“An agreement was signed with Adoke’s team and the loot has been repatriated to the Federal Government’s treasury.”

The source, however, added that in the process of repatriation of the N6.18billion, $400million was uncovered.

The source added: “Again, the AG of the Island of Jersey has offered to cooperate with the Federal Government to repatriate the $400million.

“We will soon start negotiation with the government of Island of Jersey.”

The Abacha family is said to be panicky over the government’s fresh moves.

It was gathered that the family was shocked by the return of the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

A source said: “Some members of the family have not been comfortable since the return of Mrs Okonjo-Iweala,
who facilitated the repatriation of over $600m stashed away by the family in Switzerland.

“As if to underscore her determination to repatriate more looted funds, Okonjo-Iweala even wrote a letter
of commendation to AGF Adoke to encourage him to help relocate more of Abacha loot in other parts of the world.

“Some members of the Abacha family have been meeting with some government officials to prevail on the government for reprieve.”

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the National Seminar on Economic Crimes, held at the EFCC Training
School in Abuja yesterday, the AGF alluded to the recovery of the looted fund, but did not give details.

He said: “Only recently, we negotiated the recovery and repatriation of the sum of £22.5m from the Island
of Jersey, being the proceeds of money laundered from Nigeria.

“I wish to seize this opportunity to commend the Attorney-General of Jersey for the support and co-operation
we received and urge other jurisdictions to also extend to us the much-needed cooperation to enable us repatriate
stolen assets within their jurisdictions.”

Adoke said: “We also intend to vigorously pursue stolen assets and the confiscation of other instrumentalities of
crime within the country by strengthening our confiscatory and forfeiture laws.

“In this regard, we have commenced work on a comprehensive Assets Forfeiture legislation that will address the
present inadequacies in our various laws.

“The Nigerian Proceeds of Crime Act and Bribery Act are also in the pipeline. What these legislative interventions
portend for Nigeria is that we are actively responding to global initiatives to make corruption a high-risk venture
that is ultimately not rewarding.

“Other notable initiatives that we have embarked upon at the Federal Ministry of Justice is the drafting of
Regulations to give effect to the Terrorism (Prohibition) Act 2011 to aid the effective prevention and prosecution
of terror-related acts and the Regulations to give effect to the Freedom of Information Act 2011.”

Oooh, don't let that amuse you!
PoliticsWikileaks- Pressure Was Brought On Judiciary To Do Obasanjo’s Will by baslone(op): 11:16am On Sep 06, 2011
A just released Wikileaks cable shows that Nigeria's former Chief Justice, Muhammadu Uwais,
was so highly fearful of President Olusegun Obasanjo’s interference with the judiciary that in
2005, he sought a meeting with the new American ambassador, Mr. John Campbell, so that
"someone knows what is happening here" in case something happened to him.

Mr. Uwais told Mr. Campbell that he and other Supreme Court justices were experiencing
"pressure and harassment" from President Obasanjo because the presidency was concerned
that the court might not “do his bidding” beginning with complicated effort of James Ibori,
the Delta State governor, to run for the governorship again in 2003 against the background
of his alleged conviction for stealing roofing materials years earlier.

At a point in the complicated process that involved all kinds of interests and political manoevres,
Justice Uwais told Mr. Campbell that the Ibori case had been followed by attempts to deposit large
sums of money into his bank account in order to implicate him.

As the legal challenge against President Obasanjo by the ANPP’s General Muhammadu Buhari
over abuse of security forces, lapses in voting procedures and other elements of the severely
flawed 2003 elections of Obasanjo’s election by drew to a close in 2005 with the Supreme Court
gearing up to announce its decision, pressure on the judiciary and other participants mounted.

Mr. Uwais told Ambassador Campbell that attempts had been made to bribe, blackmail, intimidate
and threaten him.

Despite that, the Chief Justice stressed he would see the process through and that had never
considered walking away from the challenge.

Expressing his personal evaluation of the candidates, he characterized Buhari as "honest, hardworking
and sincere," and told the ambassador that Buhari would eliminate corruption.

But he criticized Buhari for having an "ineffective campaign organization," observing that he was too
loyal to those who had helped him in the past and reluctant to dismiss some who were detrimental to his efforts."

Justice Uwais characterized Obasanjo as "mean, insincere and not trustworthy," a man who would turn
on anyone for petty personal reasons." he said, and continued that Obasanjo was "increasingly addicted
to the office of the Presidency."

Although Justice Uwais also observed that Obasanjo was almost "completely out of touch" with the
thoughts and needs of Nigeria, he observed that he had at least appointed some advisers with credentials
even if their actions and motives were suspect."
