Politics › Governor Ajimobi Accused Of Stealing N15 Million From Access Bank by baslone(op): 10:27am On Jun 20, 2011
Governor Isiaka Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State allegedly pocketed over N15 Million erroneously credited
to his Access Bank account in 2007 and has refused to pay back after the bank has made repeated
efforts to recover the money, sources told Pointblanknews.com

Instead, the newly elected Governor of Oyo State has been using the Police to harass and intimidate
staffers of Access Bank in the matter that is currently before the Ibadan High Court over what the bank
described as “fraudulent withdrawal of monies mistakenly deposited in his account.”

The staffers of the bank in a suit filed at state high court, with Suit No. M/60/10 in a matter of an application
for an order for the reinforcement of the applicants fundamental rights in Motion on Notice, sought to enforce
their fundamental rights, having been arrested and detained by the police on an allegation brought against
them by the governor that they fraudulently deducted the sum of N15 million from his account in the bank.

The statement of fact relied upon by the applicant, it was gathered, revealed that sometimes in the year 2007,
the first respondent (the governor) placed the sum of N15,432,860.01 in a fixed deposit in the bank for a period
of one month with the instruction that the said amount be paid into his current account upon maturity.


It was also gathered that the said investment matured on 20th February, 2007 and the governor’s account was
credited with the sum of N15,432,860.01. The banking process of the governor, it was also learnt, was fully automated
while postings of funds into his accounts were done by the computer. Unfortunately, the system at that time was
experiencing a disruption in its operation and consequently, the system initially credited the governor’s current account
n 20th February 2007 and it again credited the same account with exactly the same amount on 21st February, 2007
which was the next day. After the total sum of N30,865,720.02 was credited into the account of the governor instead
of N15,432.860.01, the governor withdrew and utilised the additional sum of N15,432,860.01 even though he was
aware it did not belong to him.

The bank was said not to have discovered the double credit until sometimes in October 2008, when the auditors
came to audit the account of the bank. They swiftly wrote to the governor on October 7, 2008 notifying him of
the duplication of credit liquidation into his account.

According to the letter, which was signed by the top management staff of the bank and handed to the governor,
“We regret to inform you of an erroneous credit into your account domiciled with our bank on the 21st February
2007. On the said date, your matured investment in commercial paper in the sum of N15,432,860.01 was erroneously
credited into your account for the second time apart from the same amount credited to the account the same day. In
the light of the above, we humbly request that you provide us with a repayment plan of this fund which was recently
discovered by bank examiners.”

It was gathered that rather than refund the N15 million in question, the governor, referred the bank to his
lawyers, alleging that his account was being manipulated by the officers of the bank.

Worried that the bank could institute a legal suit against him, he was said to have written the bank on
October 14, 2009 alleging fraudulent manipulation of his account with the bank.

According to the letter, “This is to confirm my meeting of Tuesday October 13, 2009 with your General Manager,
South West. I am disturbed by the debit alert of 13-10-09 confirming that my account was debited with the sum
of N15,432,860.01. On further enquiry, I was told that your bank mistakenly credited same amount twice in
February, 2007. I have since concluded three subsequent investments totalling 65 million during the same period
and operated the account till November 2008 with a credit balance of N237,548.15 and no mention of any duplicated
credit, neither was it reflected in my account balance.

“Based on several visitations by your staff, the account was re-activated in October 2009 with a credit balance of
N237,548.15 and a cheque of N2.5 million and a bank draft of N25 million. When I re-activated the account, there
was no debit balance on the account. Surprisingly, my account was unilaterally debited with N15,432,860.01 after
about 2 (sic) years of statement of account reflecting credit balances and no duplicated credit.”

The bank’s reply to the governor’s submission that his account was being manipulated by the bank and signed by
top management staff and dated October 14, 2009 stated that “We refer to your letter dated 14, October, 2009
on the above subject matter and we are by this letter sir, reminding you of our two previous correspondences
with respect to duplication of credit to you. Please, find attached the acknowledgement copies and the statement
of account reflecting same. One of our officers from the head office also informed that he had a discussion with you
on the issue during which you acknowledged receipt of the said letters and also informed that you have refered the
case to your legal adviser.

“As already communicated in the two letters, the bank erroneously credited your account domiciled with our
bank on 21 February, 2007 with the sum of N15,432,860.1 which had already been credited into the same
account in the precious day.

“Sir, we humbly state that as an ethical organisation, we would not do anything unprofessional on our
customers’ account. Our not passing the debt entry into your account was to guide against debit interest
accruals which would have increased the outstanding balance greatly.”

The Governor through his counsel, wrote to the state police command asking that the case be investigated. Three
bank officials were summoned by the legal department of State CID, where they made their statements on oath.

The statement by one of them read thus, “I received a mail from the Treasury Unit of my bank notifying me of a
double credit into the account of a customer. We were reliably informed in the mail that the customer’s investment
in the bank had matured on the 20th February, 2007, but the account of the customer had been credited twice, that
was on 20th February, 2007 and again on the 21st February, 2007. I was instructed to write a formal letter to the
customer notifying him of the error made by the bank and to ask him to inform us of how and when he would repay
the money since he had withdrawn everything. The amount credited his account was N15,432,860.1 on the 20th
February, 2007 and the same amount credited on the 21st February, 2007 next day.”

“I wrote a formal letter to the customer notifying him and attached his account statements showing these
double credits and went to his house. When I got to his house, his personal assistant said he had gone out
and asked me to call him. I called him on his mobile and informed him that I had a letter for him. He said I
should leave the letter with his P.A. and that he would see it. I made the P.A. to sign an acknowledgement
copy for the letter and account statement.”

He stated further that, “In December 2008, I was given a letter by my boss from the Treasury Unit of my
bank to deliver to the customer. Again, he was not at home. His P.A. called him and he asked me on phone
what I came to do. I told him I was given another letter to give to him. He then asked if my bank had not
been contacted by his lawyer and I said I was not aware. He told me to drop the letter with his P.A. who
also signed the acknowledgement letter.”


 
According to him, in October 2009, the customer gave a staff of the bank a cheque to pay into his
account and on the 13th October, 2009, the account of the customer was debited with the sum of
N15,432,860.1 by the Treasury Unit of his head office. The said money was paid in by his P.A.
Corroborating the above statement, another bank staff, who was also arrested on the order of
the governor, stated that, “I was in my office on February 1, 2010, when three police officers from
the state headquarters and a lawyer to our customer, said I was under arrest on a case brought
against me and two others by the customer. The case was on N15 million recovered from the account
of our customer sometimes in October 2009, under the condition that the customer was owing the
bank on a transaction that dates back to 2007 on which the customer had been informed repeatedly
to refund the money which he refused. I heard he was erroneously credited, and had spent the money
and was unable to refund it until the money was recouped in this account on the said date the money
was erroneously credited to his account in 2007.”

Another staff also had this to say: “He had an investment of fixed deposit in the bank, and when the
investment matured, the system mistakenly credited him twice. This error was noticed by the bank during
audit period by the head office. This, I heard, was communicated to the customer both verbally and in writing.
Later in 2009, I understand that he paid some money into the account and our Treasury Unit deducted the
money due to the bank. A senior management team was dispatched from the head office to further explain
the situation to him. We were informed by the executive management that he agreed that he owed the bank,
but requested that he should be allowed to pay over a period of 18 months, a request which the bank declined.”

The suit, dated 5th February, 2010, is still pending in the State High Court.

Foreign Affairs › Pakistan Arrest Cia Informants Over Osama by baslone(op): 3:06pm On Jun 15, 2011
Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- Pakistan's intelligence agency has arrested a person
who rented a safe house to the CIA before American special forces killed Osama bin
Laden, as well as suspected CIA informants, a source familiar with the arrests told CNN Wednesday.
A second official confirmed that Pakistan had detained informants who gave information to
the CIA before the raid but said he did not know the exact number of people arrested or when it happened.

The revelations, first reported by The New York Times, are likely to further strain what has become
a rocky relationship between the two countries.

CIA Director Leon Panetta discussed the arrests Friday with Pakistan army chief Gen. Ashfaq Kayani
and Lt. Gen. Ahmad Shuja Pasha, Pakistan's head of military intelligence, the official said. A United States
official confirmed that the discussion had taken place but would not give details about the arrests.
The first Pakistani official did not say whether the owner of the safe house was suspected of being
a CIA informant. He asked not to be named discussing sensitive internal matters.

The second Pakistani official asked to remain anonymous because he is not authorized to speak to the media.
Bin Laden considered Pakistan deal Explorer searches for bin Laden's body

Panetta visited Pakistan last week, just over a month after Navy SEALs entered Pakistan secretly
and killed bin Laden, further heightening tensions between Washington and Islamabad.

A Pakistani military spokesman confirmed that there were "a number of people arrested in Abbottabad
after the raid on the Osama bin Laden compound," but said he could not say if the people were CIA officers.

Some were seized at "a house in Abbottabad that was used to monitor the bin Laden compound
activities," said Syed Azmat Ali, the military spokesman. "They could have been Pakistanis who were
informants to the CIA."

Ali said those arrests were made by Pakistan's powerful military intelligence agency, the
ISI, "immediately after the raid, so this is not a new piece of information."

He and the intelligence official who asked not to be named were responding to reports in the New York
Times that Pakistan had arrested five CIA informants who gave information to the United States before
the raid on bin Laden's hideout.

The newspaper attributed the report to "American officials" without naming them.

It said one of those arrested was a Pakistani army major who kept records of license plate numbers
on cars that visited the bin Laden hideout. Ali, the Pakistani military spokesman said that was "categorically" not true.

It also cited a damning assessment of Pakistan's cooperation with American counter-terror efforts by a top CIA official.

Deputy CIA director Michael J. Morell rated Pakistan's help at a three on a scale of one to 10, the
Times said, quoting "officials familiar with the exchange."

Asked Wednesday by CNN to rate the Pakistani spy agency's relationship with the CIA from a scale of
one to 10, military spokesman Ali said four.

Panetta, who has been nominated to be secretary of defense, told Congress in confirmation hearings
last week that, "The relationship with Pakistan is at the same time one of the most critical and yet one
of the most complicated and frustrating relationships that we have."

The relationship between the two countries has been in a downward spiral over disputes about how
to pursue counterterrorism efforts.
The United States believes Pakistan is not doing enough to go after al Qaeda and other extremists, while
the Pakistanis are upset with what they consider to be unilateral steps taken by the United States within their borders.

The United States is suspected of carrying out regular strikes by unmanned aircraft targeting
suspected terrorists in Pakistan -- a suspected strike on Wednesday, killing 10 suspected militants,
two Pakistani officials said.

Pakistani officials believe there were more than 100 American drone strikes in their country in 2010,
a record, according to CNN national security analyst Peter Bergen. They think most of the casualties
were foot soldiers or civilians, not high-value terror targets, he said.

The New America Foundation in Washington, which maintains an independent count of reported
drone strikes, says there were 118 in 2010, killing between 600 and 1,000 people.

Public opinion polling shows that nine out of 10 Pakistanis have an unfavorable view of the drone strikes.

Pakistanis were also angered by the case of Raymond Davis, a CIA contractor who was charged with
killing two Pakistani men, then released after compensation was paid to their families.

Davis described the two men as attackers and said he shot them in self-defense. Lahore Police Chief
Aslam Tareen, however, said the case was "clear-cut murder."

According to Davis, the shooting occurred January 27 after two men attacked him as he drove through
a busy Lahore neighborhood, the U.S. Embassy has said.

U.S. officials originally said Davis was a diplomat and tried to claim diplomatic immunity, then later revealed that he was a CIA contractor.

CIA chief Panetta's unannounced visit last week was the latest in a series by U.S. officials -- including
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen and Sen. John
Kerry -- in efforts to smooth things over after bin Laden was killed in the SEALs raid.

Oyedepo is rated as one the world richest pastors based on all his debt free self
owned assets as well as those of the church he leads.
By 1998, he was already one
of the 10 richest pastors in the world according to him. According to Oyedepo himself,
the richest pastor in the world presently is Kenneth Copeland who has given out 27
jets to different pastors as at 10th April 2011. Bishop Oyedepo is arguably among the
top three richest pastors in the world
especially considering his mentor 'Enoch Adeboye'.
