Did Africa have great rulers? It did and most powerful of them
were the queens. Meet them now.

Everyone who is interested in the African history, for certain
wants to learn the facts about African kings and queens. But
people know a lot of information about African kings, not
queens.

The man is a symbol of the power for majority of
them. But it is not always so. There were many brave and
clever women on the African earth, whose government has
exerted a great influence on history of the state. So, this is the
list of the 7 brightest black queens in Africa!

1. Amina

Amina, the Muslim queen-warrior, was a Zarian princess.
She made outstanding military career. As a professional
soldier, this black queen took part in the military
campaigns for conquest of neighboring states. It was
made for expansion their own territory. She also made a
big contribution to improvement of trade.

Amin has been ruling for a long period of time. Those
days the state endured economic dawn. She was
suggested to marry, give birth to children, but the queen
has refused. They say the woman was afraid to lose the
power.

She also had an unusual rule – after each won fight, she
chose to herself a man from a camp for the night, and
doomed him in the morning to death that the man didn't
tell anything about joint night with the princess.
Her legendary acts have made a prototype of the known
TV series "Xena: Warrior Princess".

Saraki has tasked the various standing committees of the
National Assembly to ensure full implementation of the 2016
budget
Senate President, Bukola Saraki has tasked the various
standing committees of the National Assembly to ensure full
implementation of the 2016 budget through effective use of
their oversight duties.


President Muhammadu Buhar had on December 22, 2015
presented N6, 077,680,000,000 budget but the Senate passed
N6, 060,677,358,227 as the 2016 budget, a reduction of N0,
017,002,641,773.


Highlights of the budget as passed included Aggregate
Expenditure N6,060,677,358,227; Statutory Transfers
N351,370,000.000 (retained); Debt Service
N1,475,320,000,000 (retained); Recurrent Expenditure reduced
from N2,648,600,000,000 to N2,646,389,236,196; Capital
Expenditure also reduced from N1,845,540,000,000 to
N1,587,598,122,,031; Fiscal Deficit N2,204,936,925,711.16
while Deficit/GDP is 2.14%


Giving his remark during the plenary after the passage of the
2016 Appropriation Bill by the Senate in Abuja, the Senate
President also urged President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure
an effective implementation of the budget, while also calling on
the President to ensure an early presentation of the next year
appropriation bill to the National Assembly.

He also pledged that the Senate would immediately commence
the amendment of the Public Procurement Bill currently before
the National Assembly as a way of aiding the effective
implementation of the budget.

According to a statement by the special assistant to the Senate
President on print media, Chuks Okocha, the Senate President
said: “The budget reflects efficient and equitable allocation of
resources to reduce the challenges that we are all aware of.
This budget is a product of bipartisan engagement,
commitment and patriotism.


“It gives me great joy to commend and appreciate all the
efforts that all of you, my colleagues, have put in. It is the duty
of the Executive arm to ensure full implementation of this
budget as part of the campaign to bring succuor to our people.
While implementing it, we charge the Executive to also consider
the need to support locally produced goods in order to help our
economy.

2016 budget: What the senate passed


“We have all seen the earlier hiccups in the beginning of the
budget and we hope that by the time we are preparing the
2017 budget, the Ministries, Departments and Agencies and the
Budget Office would improve their level of interaction. We also
hope that government itself would bring the budget much
earlier to give ample time for the legislature to do its job. It is
very important that we do this.


“I will also thank the Appropriation Committee and, of course,
we have all noted the areas of omission and I hope the
Executive will be able to address the different areas that we
talked about.


“I also particularly observed that we have made an effort to
reduce the size of the budget, in our own view, to reduce our
deficit and also reduce our level of borrowing and as much as
possible we all want a budget that is sustainable.

“We have played our part; the different committees should do
their job now in the area of oversight to ensure that we have a
budget that is fully implementable.


“Nigerians have been waiting for us to pass the budget; I think
at this time too, the implementing agencies should ensure that
they get to work quickly in implementing the budget. We on our
part have one or two bills to consider like the Public
Procurement Act so as to assist with easy implementation of
the budget.”

He commended the Senators for a job well done, despite the
earlier hiccups encountered when the 2016 Appropriation Bill
was presented last year.

– Man sentenced for offence committed since 2013

– Counsel pleads for leniency, says culprit is a family man


For participating in the killing of 11 police officers, Jackson
Feutubobai, has been sentenced to death by hanging.
According to Sahara Reporters, this judgment was carried out
by a high court in the Oporoma judicial division in Bayelsa
state on Tuesday, March 22, after he was found guilty of killing
one Inspector Joseph Ofozini.

Jackson Feutubobai has been sentenced to death by hanging.

Feutubobai was among the killers of eleven policemen who
were reportedly killed in the Lobia II community in the
Southern Ijaw local government area of the state on April 5,
2013.


The police prosecutor had informed the court of the accused’s
five other cases in various courts, including cases involving an
alleged kidnapping and sea piracy.

After hearing the application against the suspect, the presiding
Justice, M A Ayemieye sentenced Feutubobai to death by
hanging, noting that it is mandatory for those accused of
murder to be sentenced to death.


Arthur Andrew Seweniowor, the state prosecuting counsel, who
addressed journalists after the sentence, said if the accused
fails to appeal in three months, the death warrant will be
signed by the governor.

Efieseimokumo Bipedei, who represented Feutubobai before
the court, had earlier pleaded with the court to temper justice
with mercy, arguing that the accused person is a family man
with five children dependent on him, asking the court to reduce
the sentence to imprisonment.

ThankGod Clinton Ezetu, the second accused person was later
discharged and acquitted after no evidence linked him to the
murder of the eleven policemen.

– CSP Abayomi Shogunle, reveales how social media is
helping the Complaint Response Unit (CRU) department
tackle crimes

– CRU is a community-based reporting mechanism where
members of the public can report their complaints policing
activities

The head, Complaint Response Unit (CRU), Nigeria police, CSP
Abayomi Shogunle, has revealed how social media is helping
the department tackle crimes.

[img]http://i.onthe.io/vllkyt6vjfjq4127o.5d527fb6.jpg[/img]

Abayomi Shogunle, the head, Complaint Response Unit (CRU),
Nigeria Police at social media week Lagos


Speaking at the Social Media Week Day 4 event tagged: ‘Let’s
Talk Governance! Citizens, Government and Technology’, on
Thursday, February 25, hosted by EiE and Strengthening
Advocacy and Civic Engagement (SACE), Shogunle said there
was a need to make the police accountable to the public,
adding that the need to resolve complaints was the reason why
the complaint service was launched.

Read the interview below:

In the first 100 days of setting up CRU, how many cases were
you able to resolve and how quickly were you able to resolve
them?

The CRU in its first 100 days received 1,946 reports. We were
able to resolve 1,522 cases which have been closed.


After investigation we also discovered that 133 cases are false
because the information provided was not correct. We have at
the moment 291 pending cases, which is a spill over from the
first 100 days that we are still looking into.


Are there any plans in place on training police officers on
human and public relations?

Training of police officers on human and public relations is
ongoing. It is the belief of the police leadership that every
single officer is a public relations officer of the Nigerian police
and every single policeman is a representation of the image of
the Nigerian police force where individuals conduct in the
public.

The training is already included in basic training institutions
and the force is also doing more in partnership with
development partners.



How does social media in general help your work?


The social media not only in Nigeria around the world is
developing into another community. It is developing into what I
would call a suburb. There are streets, towns on the social
media platform and the Nigeria police force has to get on
board to know what is happening and also to engage and
communicate with members of the public using that same
platform.

So to a great extent the social media is helping the work of the
Nigerian police. For instance in the first 100 days of the CRU
we received 160 distress call from social media. It is also
helps in solving crimes and getting the attention of the Nigerian
police force in things that the force should actually be
interested in the happenings in the society.


How active are you on social media?

We have first line agents who monitor all these platforms.
Automated reply is generated specifically to respond to the
comment you’re getting.
I just want to urge Nigerians that when sending a message be
detailed make sure you include the date, time and place of the
incident.

The CRU was launched on November 13, 2015 by the Inspector
General of Police, Solomon Arase.

CRU is a community-based reporting mechanism where
members of the public can report their complaints and queries
about policing activities and solutions are provided and the
complaints are resolved in real terms.

ABUJA - President Mohammadu Buhari on Monday woke up to
the realities of epileptic power supply in Nigeria, saying that the
situation was no longer funny.


Should the situation persisits, the president said it would
seriously affect the change agenda of the present
administration.


The president said his administration must do everything
necessary to increase power generation and distribution from
its present status of about 1,500 to 3,500 megawatts with
additional 2000 before the end of the year as a way of halting
the ripple effect effects on the economy.
But giving high hopes on the power sector, the president stated
that before his government winds up in 2019, he would achieve
a historic 10,000 megawatts of electricity.
The promise was contained in a keynote address which he
presented at the opening ceremony of a two day summit of the
National Economic Council, NEC, in Abuja.
The president who noted the theme of the summit: Nigerian
States: Multiple Centers of Prosperity was apt, had identified
five key areas such agriculture, power, manufacturing, housing
and healthcare as challenges the Council must prioritize.
President Buhari also expressed misgivings over the
privatization of the power sector in the country, saying that the
process was more profit oriented than a thing of public
interest.
He stated that the sector was yet to show the gains of the
privatization Programme as quality of service was still in a
sorry state.
But being an ongoing process, the president said that it must
be completed.



He said: "Nigerians’ favourite talking point and butt of jokes is
the power situation in our country. But, ladies and gentlemen,
it is no longer a laughing matter. We must and by the grace of
God we will put things right. In the three years left for this
administration we have given ourselves the target of ten
thousand megawatts distributable power. In 2016 alone, we
intend to add two thousand megawatts to the national grid.
"This sector has been privatized but has yet to show any
improvement in the quality of service. Common public
complaints are: Constant power cuts destroying economic
activity and affecting quality of life, High electricity bills despite
power cuts, Low supply of gas to power plants due to
vandalization by terrorists, Obsolete power distribution
equipment such as transformers, Power fluctuations, which
damage manufacturing equipment and household appliances,
Low voltage which cannot run industrial machinery.
"These are some of the problems, which defied successive
governments. In our determination to change we must and
will, insha Allah, put a stop to power shortages.


"Key points to look at here are: Privatization. We are facing the
classic dilemma of privatization: Public interest Vs Profit
Motive. Having started, we must complete the process. But
National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), the
regulatory authority, has a vital job to ensure consumers get
value for money and over-all public interest is safe-guarded.
"Government to fast-track completion of pipelines from Gas
points to power stations and provide more security to protect
gas and oil pipelines.


"Power companies should be encouraged to replace obsolete
equipment and improve the quality of service and technicians."
On agriculture, president noted with dismay the high cost of
food items, saying that government must play active role in
achieving food production and self sufficiency.
He also observed that the commercial banks had no
meaningful credit facilities for the agriculture sector, asking
them to increase their lending to the sector.


He said "On Agriculture today, both the peasant and the
mechanized farmers agree with the general public that food
production and self-sufficiency require urgent government
action. For too long government policies on agriculture have
been half-hearted, suffering from inconsistencies and
discontinuities.


"Yet our real wealth is in farming, livestock, hatcheries, fishery,
horticulture and forestry. From the information available to me
the issues worrying the public today are: Rising food prices,
such as maize, corn, rice and gari, Lack of visible impact of
government presence on agriculture, Lack of agricultural inputs
at affordable prices. Cost of fertilizers, pesticide and labour
compound the problems of farming. Extension services are
virtually absent in several states.

"Imports of subsidized food products such as rice and poultry
discourage the growth of domestic agriculture.

"Wastage of locally grown foods, notably fruit and vegetables
which go bad due to lack of even moderate scale agro-
processing factories and lack of feeder roads.

"These problems I have enumerated are by no means
exhaustive and some of the solutions I am putting forward are
not necessarily the final word on our agricultural reform
objectives:
"First, we need to carry the public with us for new initiatives.
Accordingly the Federal Ministry of Agriculture in collaboration
with the States should convene early meetings of stakeholders
and identify issues with a view to addressing them.

"Inform the public in all print and electronic media on
government efforts to increase local food production to
dampen escalating food prices.

"Banks should be leaned upon to substantially increase their
lending to the agricultural sector. Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN) should bear part of the risk of such loans as a matter of
national policy.


"States should increase their financial support through
community groups. The appropriate approach should be
through leaders of community groups such as farmers
cooperatives.


"Provision of feeder roads by state governments to enable
more effective evacuation of produce to markets and
processing factories."


Speaking on manufacturing, president Buhari felt grieved that
many industries were having the challenges of accessing
foreign exchange to buy their raw materials.


Noting that the situation was a phase however, he also
identified Inadequate infrastructure such as Power, Roads,
Security, high cost of borrowing money, lack of long term
funding as factors militating against manufacturing in Nigeria.
As a way of surmounting the problems, president Buhari made
some recommendations.


"The infrastructure Development Fund should be fast-tracked
to unlock resources so that infrastructural deficiencies can be
addressed.


"There should be more fiscal incentives for Small and Medium
Enterprises (SMEs), which prove themselves capable of
manufacturing quality products good enough for export.
"Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) should create more incentives
and ease credit terms for lending to manufacturers.


"A fresh campaign to patronize Made-in-Nigeria goods should
be launched. Example: all uniforms in government-sponsored
institutions should be sourced from local factories", he said.
On housing, president Buhari said that there was housing
deficit in Nigeria. According to him, the plan by his party, the
All progressives Congress, APC to build 250 housing units
might not be realized.


He said: "Some estimates put Nigeria’s housing deficit at
about sixteen million units. In our successful campaign to win
the general elections last year our party, the APC, promised to
build a million housing units a year. This will turn out to be a
very tall order unless:


"The Federal Government builds two hundred and fifty
thousand units. The 22 APC States together manage another
two hundred and fifty thousand units.

"We invite foreign investors together with local domiciled big
construction companies to enter into commercial housing
building to pick up the rest."


The president also noted that "Severe shortage of housing,
High rents, Unaffordable prices for prospective buyers
especially middle and low-income earners", in addition to "red
tape, corruption and plain public service inefficiency lead to
long delays in obtaining ownership of title documents",
amongst others were the huddles faced in actualizing
meaningful housing scheme for all.

President Buhari while speaking health as prerequisite for
economic development, revealed that a whooping sum of $1
billion was been spent by Nigerians for medical treatment
abroad on Healy basis.

He said "In my inauguration speech last May, I remarked that
the whole field of Medicare in our country needed government
attention. Dirty hospitals! (Few sights are more upsetting than
a dirty hospital), inadequate equipment, poorly trained nursing
staff, overcrowding. The litany of shortcomings is almost
endless.

"Sound health system is part of the prerequisites for economic
development. Nigerians travel abroad, spending an estimated
One Billion US Dollars annually to get medical treatment.
Despite huge oil revenues the nation’s health sector remains
undeveloped".


In attacking the challenges of the sector, the president stated
that there should be more funding for health centres to
improve service delivery.


According to him, the "World Bank and World Health
Organization (WHO) could be persuaded to increase their
assistance".

He also stated that a public health propaganda should be
strengthened on Environmental sanitation, smoking, Better
dieting, Exercising".


This was even as he charged the National Agency for Food,
Drug, Administration and Control, NAFDAC, to intensify
campaign against fake drugs.


"NAFDAC should intensify efforts on reducing or stopping
circulation of fake drugs in Nigeria. Ministry of Health should
work closely with the Nigerian Medical Association to ensure
that unqualified people are not allowed to practice", he said
Meanwhile, the Vice President Yemi Osinabjo who chaired the
summit and the chairman of Nigerian Governors forum and
governor of Zamfara state, Abdulazz Yari who also spoke at
the opening ceremony underscored the need for prioritization
in the light of dwindling oil prices in the international market.
The summit had all the serving ministers as well as the 36
Nigerian State governors as participants.

exploitation from the service provider, the Lagos State Waste
Management Agency (LAWMA), with some others describing it
as ‘unbearable and unaffordable’.

Among other indebted houses in the area are No 10, Erinosho
street (indebted to the sum of N33, 600); 9, Mobolaji street
(also indebted to tune of N41,000) and a N45, 000 debt owed
by the 11th house on Mobolaji street, all in Ogba.

NAIJ.com’s Godday Eleojo also discovered that some of these
houses got as much as N68,000 debt notice from the agency
and in a survey of Erinosho area, it was gathered that some
houses lack good foundation, structure, and suffer from bad
and un-motorable roads.


A resident who simply identified herself as Mama Amaka, said
that the bills is too much, stressing that if the occupants have
such money, they would have occupied a better apartment and
not that kind of apartment.

The bill presented by officials of the Lagos State Waste
Management Authority (LAWMA) obtained by NAIJ.com’s
Godday Eleojo

“It is clear that we occupants of Erinosho don’t have money to
pay for unnecessary bills because we wouldn’t have rented
houses in this type of area if we had such monies. And Now
the LAWMA, plans to make live difficult by placing a huge bill
on us, which is unaffordable because we don’t know where to
get the money from.

“The LAWMA officials in question don’t even come to our area
because it is not motorable, they pack somewhere where on
the road, while we run after them to dispose our wastes while
some harass us that we have not paid for the service, and now
we see bill on our door steps as a latest trend,” she
complained.

Lawal Adewale, who resides at no 11 also confirmed that
LAWMA placed a bill on his flat, “which they describe as an
accumulated bill.

“I was shocked to see a notice that contains N45, 000 debt
when I woke up one morning, we tried talking to the officials,
but they insisted that it was an accumulation.”
Fear and pandemonium have continued to grip the hearts of
these residents as the agency has clearly stated in its served
notice that failure to pay up debts within a stipulated period,
“the indebted resident will be locked out of his or her
appartment and prosecuted, as provided by the Environmental
Sanitation Edict/LAWMA 2001.”


Meanwhile, a LAWMA official who requested anonymity
because he was not in the position to talk on the matter, but
works with Gesstimate environmental protection company, told
NAIJ.com that a single room is charged the sum of N200/
month while a flat is charged N750/month, adding that the
said amount would have been an accumulated amount used
by the residents.

THUNDER!!!!!

Biola Giwa-Adeyemi, the sister of late Dr Suraj Giwa who died
as a result of an accident involving popular actress Ibinabo
Fiberesima, has shared her thought on the recent
developments

_______________________________________________________________


The aggrieved sister of the late doctor said the family had
forgiven her, but also insisted the actress was not remorseful
over the tragic incident.

Giwa-Adeyemi also hailed the Lagos state government and the
judges that were involved in the case.

Here’s what she had to say below:


“First of all, the case was between Lagos state Government Vs
Ibinabo Febresima but not Giwa Vs Ibinabo Febresima. On this
faithful day of Feb 26th 2006 along the Lekki Epe Express way,
my late brother Dr Giwa was driving with his brother and
another family friend in his car coming from a meeting in Ajah,
they were held up in a traffic around the evening time, when
this tragic accident happened. Ibinabo was driving towards
Lekki while the late Dr Giwa was coming from the other
direction facing towards Island, just by shop-rite, when
ibinabo’s jeep flipped and lost control from her lane jumped
over the culvert or pavement that demarcate the road from the
on coming vehicle.


The speed that skipped and flipped a jeep over the road
demarcation will be considered “Reckless and Endangerment”
because the VIO dept checked the jeep brakes, the engine and
all the mechanical and electrical of the jeep but the result
shows nothing wrong with the jeep and confirm that the
accident as due to “OVER SPEEDING” in which the result was
on record.


After the accident, Ibinabo left the scene of the accident without
checking for any survivors, she took the license plate and
registration out of the car and fled from the scene, that was
considered “HIT AND RUN”. The people at the scene of the
accident recognized her as Ibinabo Febresima, and stated she
was drunk.”Driving Under Influence” of whatever she had.


The State Department of Transportation has to use the VIN
number to locate the Owner of the jeep, in which the owner was
Daniel Wilson. That was my very first time of hearing the name
of Ibinabo Febresima.


The Doctor died at the scene of the accident because the jeep
was on top of the Honda accord driven by him and they
couldn’t save him on time because of the seat belt and the
weight of the jeep, the brother and the other family friend in
that car had survived. Did she know the state of mind and the
emotional instability of the people involved in that accident up
till now, Ibinabo has never been in a Coma.


After all the evidences against her, with the result of the VIO by
the State department of Transportation, The DPP office took
over and charged her to court and she hired Festus Kiamo in
which after reviewing the case he withdrew by saying he
cannot represent her because it’s a bad case.


Doctor Giwa has a living mother for goodness sake, wife with
3 children’s, Ibinabo deprived him from seeing his children
graduate from university and getting married, also from being
the one to bury his mother at her old age, “Whereas no one
ever prayed that on the day of their children’s success and
happiness they should replaced them with someone else”.
Ibinabo was never remorseful, they brought her to meet with
me shortly after my brother’s death in GRA Ikeja before my
return back to the USA, but her only concern then was to drop
the charges against her.


I told her that it’s not my family Vs her but the State Vs her,
that where I come from in USA that we do not interfere with
the justice system, that they should do their job and advise her
to apologize publicly to the masses and to the family and
throw herself to the mercy of the court. She said and l quote “I
CAN’T DO THAT, BECAUSE IS GOING TO DAMAGE MY
CAREER” what an ego, she cannot apologize publicly, I feel like
kicking her ass.


She’s worried about her stupid career, What happened to the
career of the Doctor, who happened to be a ‘MEDICAL
DIRECTOR AND THE HEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
PHYSICAL REHABILITATION MEDICINE AT GENERAL
HOSPITAL LAGOS. People say there is no justice in Nigeria, but
it does once in awhile.


The lower court magistrate O.A Isaac found her guilty with the
option of 100,000.00 Naira, which is considered a judicial
recklessness, 100k does not even buy an iPad, the life of
someone does not worth more that 100k, so that people will
take the liberty of committing crimes.


Later Justice Deborah Oluwayemi of the High court find her
guilty and overturn the option of fine and gave her 5 yrs in
prison, she spent 3 weeks and came out on bail to go to Court
of Appeal, however, how can a convicted person came out on
bail, here in USA you will be in jail and they will transport you
to and from each time you have an hearing.

Finally Appeal court found her guilty and sentenced her to 5
years imprison. Let her face the wrath, it is said that you can
run but can’t hide, it’s a law of Karma that catch up, This will
serve as a deterrent to others.

Who will believe after 10yrs she
will still be slammed, The Family of the late Dr Giwa had
moved on with our life’s, She was forgiven, it was very difficult
and painful, but God gave us especially his mother and
children the fortitude to bear the loss.


On behalf of our families and friends, we really thank the
Lagos State Government, The attorney general Mr Sasore, DPP
Mrs Odutola and colleagues, Justice Deborah Oluwayemi,
Justice Jamilu Yammama Tukur, Justice U.I Udukwe-Anyawu
and Justice Tijani Abubakar and everyone for their support, no
evil shall befall anyone, as you all go out and come in, may
God’s grace and protection abide with each and everyone. .
‘JUSTICE AT LAST’ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUSTICE AT LAST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JUSTICE IS FINALLY DONE !!!!!!!!!!!!. IBINABO HAS NEVER PAID
A DIME TO ANY FAMILY MEMBER OF THE LATE DR GIWA AS
INDICATED BY HER FRIENDS, AND IF SHE DID PAY ANY
FAMILY MEMBER, SHE NEEDS TO START MENTIONING NAMES
NOW”.

– The witness is a retired air commodore in the Nigeria air
force

– He said out of N4 billion slated for personnel salaries only a
little above N2 billion was used

– He also said he rejected N120 million given to him to run his
office as a finance director with Nigeria air force

A witness has given account of how he helped the former chief
of defence staff, Alex Badeh buy houses in various locations.
The first witness in the trial of a former chief of defence staff,
Alex Badeh, on Wednesday, March 16, narrated how he takes
money to the official residence of the chief of air staff.

Salisu Abdullahi, a former director of finance with the Nigeria
air force told the court out of a monthly N4 billion slated for
personnel salaries only a little above N2 billion was used for
the said purpose.


“However, our total wage bill as at that time was above N2
billion monthly,” Abdullahi said.

He said the balance which was usually between N1.6 and N1.7
goes to the chief of air staff.

Badeh was the chief of air staff from October 4, 2012 to 2015.
Abdullahi said: “Out of this amount, N558,200,000 was usually
earmarked for the general administration of the chief of air
staff. “


He said the remaining amount was also returned to the chief of
air staff for commands and direct reporting unit for
procurement projects and training.
The disbursements of the funds are usually authorized by the
chief of air staff.

Abdullahi added that expenditures from the funds are approved
by the CAS through the procurement and planning committee.

“ The amount was actually under the complete control of the
chief of air staff, ” he said.
He however added that sometimes the chief of air staff may
give approval for somethings to be done.


“But in most cases, the amount was exchanged into US dollars
under the authorization of the chief of air staff to the director of
finance of NAF – that is me – and I pass the same instructions
to the finance officer at the headwaters of Nigeria air force
camp, ” Abdullahi continued.

He added that the authorization usually comes to him
(Abdullahi) by word of mouth from the air chief.

“Only instructions given in writings are those forwarded to his
office from branches and the unit for approval. When such
approvals are given, they are forwarded to my office for
necessary payment action,” he said.

He said subsequently, the money was exchanged and brought
to him (Abdullahi) as the director of finance.

He then takes the exchanged money to the chief of air staff at
his official residence in Niger Barracks.

“As military officers in such situations we do not refer to any
acknowledgment, however, in some cases I do tell the finance
officer to meet me at the air house in Niger Barracks with the
money so that he can see when I hand over the money to the
chief of air staff,” Abdullahi said.

Also the witness, who retired as an air commodore in Nigeria
air force informed the court that he was given N120 million
monthly to run his office as a finance director.

“I rejected the money because I did not see any reason why
such money should be given to my office so I directed that the
money should be kept under the control of the chief of air
staff, ” he said.

He said the money was then used to cover the travelling
expenses of the chief of air staff within Nigeria.

Badeh, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) alleged have breached public trust during his time as
chief of air staff and subsequently as chief of defence staff.
He is accused of money laundering to the tune of N3.9 billion
at this time.


He currently under the custody in Kuje prison due to his
inability to meet the bail conditions granted to him by the court.
Meanwhile, Alex Badeh on Wednesday, March 16 made an
application against the jurisdiction of the court to hear the
charges against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC).

The defendant today, filed a motion on notice challenging the
court’s jurisdiction on the matter before it.

Badeh also in an objection said the charges against him by the
EFCC is erroneous and misleading. He further urged to hear his
application.

But in an objection, the prosecuting counsel, Rotimi Jacobs
said the effort by the defendant to file an application after trial
has been slated is aimed at stalling trial.

the gods are angry

Cyojunior:
The fact of the matter is that nothing ever worked since Buhari has taken the reins of power. Nigeria is in comatose. Hunger is all over the land. Food is getting costlier. Petrol is getting scarce. Schools are dysfunctional. Hospitals are slaughter slabs. People are dying. Investors have fled the country. The Naira is in free fall. Kidnapping is on the rise. Boko Haram is still a threat. Buhari is denying all the promises he made during his campaign. Corrupt elements filled the crannies of his government. Under his nose, the 2016 budget was corruptly padded.
