PoliticsLagos Lists 140 Convicts In Sex Offenders Register by brightec(op): 7:50pm On May 04, 2015
Commissioner of Justice made the disclosure at
the 2015 Ministerial Press Briefing in Ikeja.
He said that the state had recorded no fewer
than 12, 120 rape cases and other sexual
violence matters in the last four years, describing
such acts as threats to dignity and humanity.
According to him, the government is doing its
best to address the problem through the law
and other means.
Giving other statistics, Ipaye said that it had
sentenced 5,834 offenders to community
service for various offences in the last four years.
He said the figure included the 3,083 that got
non-custodial punishments such as cleaning
public buildings and sweeping, among others in
the last one year.
Ipaye explained that this was part of the
strategies to decongest the prisons.
“I am pleased to inform you that the
programme has continued to wax stronger in
demonstration of the fact that criminal justice
system does not need to incarcerate offenders
in order to be effective.
“ With the community service option available to
judges and magistrates, convicted offenders do
not need to be sent to prison for every minor
infraction of the law.”
In the area of public prosecution, the
commissioner said that in the last one year , out
of the 795 police investigation files sent to the
Director of Public Prosecution’s office for legal
advice, the unit completed work on 716
(90.1%).
He said the rest were still being processed, as
many required additional information or further
investigation by the Police or other relevant
agencies.
“During the same period, the Directorate of
Public Prosecutions is engaged in the
prosecution of 1,069 criminal cases in all courts.
“This figure includes the 786 cases which are
currently being prosecuted at the Federal and
the State High Courts as well as 54 and 11
respectively at the Court of Appeal and the
Supreme Court.
“The number is also inclusive of the 218 cases at
the Magistrate Courts.
“In addition to the 1,069 active criminal
prosecution files, DPP’s office is also handling
160 applications for enforcement of
Fundamental Rights,” he said.
As part of the state government’s commitment
to use technology to combat criminal
tendencies, Ipaye said the state government had
created a Crime Data Register (CDR), where
records of crimes and the perpetrators were
electronically taken.
“CDR is an electronic repository of information
about suspects and offenders who pass through
any of the prisons in Lagos State.
“The CDR involves the participation of all key
prosecution actors in the criminal justice
process, namely; the Lagos State Judiciary, the
Lagos State Ministry of Justice, the Lagos State
Command of the Nigeria Police and the Lagos
State Command of the Nigeria Prison Service.
“Currently, the CDR is a robust system in terms
of its IT infrastructure and functionality. We now
have 62,789 unique records in the system, of
which about 40,000 have biometric and
fingerprint details,” he said.
In the year under review, Ipaye said that the
Office of Public Defender, the agency saddled
with responsibility of providing legal aid services
to indigent citizens, handled over 15,000
matters on behalf of indigent Lagosians at no
cost.
These matters, according to him, cut across
labour cases, civil matters, criminal cases,
coroner’s inquests and fundamental rights
cases.
“This brings the number of matters that OPD has
been involved in the past four years to 30,998.
OPD also facilitated the collection of over N42m
as compensation on behalf of complainants in
the last one year.
“All together in the past four years, OPD has
assisted Lagosians to collect N152m as
compensation,” Ipaye said.
On her part, the Director, Office of the Public
Defender, OPD, Mrs Omotola Rotimi, said the
agency, in the last one year, recorded 526 rape
cases, owith 227 still in pending in court.
” At least 15 judgment were made, ranging from
life to seven years imprisonment. In the last four
years, about 12, 120 rape cases were recorded,”
she said.(NAN)
PoliticsEnugu Assembly Speaker Dismisses Report Of His Impeachment by brightec(op): 7:37pm On May 04, 2015
Enugu Assembly speaker dismisses report
of his impeachment
MAY 4, 2015 : NAN
Leave a Comment
The Speaker of the Enugu State House of
Assembly, Mr Eugene Odo, has described his
purported impeachment by the nine-man
faction of the lawmakers as legislative
recklessness and impunity.
Odo told the News Agency of Nigeria on
Monday that he was still the speaker of the
Assembly.
He noted that the action of the Chinedu
Nwamba group was illegal, unknown to law
and unknown to democracy.
“The status quo remains. I am still the speaker.
It is only two-thirds of the 24 lawmakers that
can impeach or suspend the speaker and only
eight of them cannot suspend or impeach the
speaker.
“It is true that they formed a quorum but a
quorum cannot impeach the speaker,’’ Odo
said.
He said he was being persecuted for not signing
a forged supplementary appropriation for 2012,
which the governor allegedly wanted him and
the Clerk of the Assembly to sign in 2015.
Odo claimed that the document had no records
in the proceedings of the Assembly.
The speaker said the crisis started when the
lawmakers declined to sign the N11bn loan
sought by the governor less than 60 days to the
end of his tenure.
“The governor surreptitiously called some
members and gave them N2m each to
impeach the Speaker,’’ he alleged.
According to him, one of the lawmakers, who
felt that the impeachment was against his
conscience, pulled out, leaving only eight of
them.
The speaker said the Assembly would resume
its plenary session on Tuesday.

Former Super Eagles captain Austin Okocha says he has no plans of going into coaching but hopes to one day be the president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

“No, not for the moment. I’m more interested in the executive positions. I prefer to be the one who appoints them and tells them what to do “ was Okocha’s response when he was asked if he will one day be a coach.
Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha,

Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha,

However when asked about eyeing the NFF presidency in the future, the former Fenerbache, Bolton, PSG, Eintracht Frankfurt and Hull City playmaker responded positively to his ambition.

“Why not? Yes. In fact, I’ve just been named the chairman of the Delta State Football Association, which I’m delighted about. Who knows what the future has in store, though?”.

The Delta State FA boss made this known during an interview with fifa.com where he refused to name his favourite among the teams he played for, but picked his goal against Oliver Khan, scored in 1993 against Karlsruhe while he was playing for Eintracht Frankfurt as his most memorable.

“I was very young and I hadn’t made a name for myself yet. Klaus Toppmoller was my coach at the time and he started me on the bench for that game, which I wasn’t especially pleased about.

“We were 2-1 up when he finally decided to put me on. We were under pressure and my job was to keep the ball, but we put a break together and I suddenly found myself in the opposition penalty box with four or five defenders facing me.

“I just dribbled with the ball, going one way and then the next before putting the ball past the keeper, who was none other than Oliver Kahn.”

PoliticsClosing Door To Defectors: Apc’s Decision Will Enhance Democracy — Ikokwu by brightec(op): 11:42am On Apr 29, 2015
By Clifford Ndujihe

SECOND Republic Politician and one of the founders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Guy Ikokwu, has commended leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for closing their door to defectors, who were trooping to the party from the PDP and other parties.

Ikokwu, who is also the President of Pan Ndigbo Forum (PNF) said the advice is in order and will enhance democracy.

Since the PDP lost the March 28 presidential polls and most of the governorship and legislative seats at the state and federal levels, a host of PDP stalwarts had been defecting to the APC in droves with their supporters.

President-elect, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), last week said those defecting to the APC would not be considered for appointment. The National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in a statement, spoke in like manner and advised those leaving the PDP for the APC to remain where they are.

His take on APC’s stand: Report from the APC Committee as elaborated by their Media Director Alhaji Lai Mohammed revealed that the president-elect, the party chairman and the party leaders are not in favour of any more embrace with political defectors who were referred to as fair weather collaborators.

PoliticsS’west APC Rejects Ondo Dep Gov’s Impeachment by brightec(op): 5:11am On Apr 28, 2015
By Olasukanmi Akoni

LAGOS—The All Progressives Congress,
yesterday, rejected the impeachment of Ondo
State Deputy Governor, Alhaji Ali Olanusi,
stressing that the process of his removal violated
provisions of the impeachment clause in the
1999 Constitution.
The party added that the decision of the State
House of Assembly was a contempt of court that
ordered all parties to maintain status quo in a
suit the deputy governor filed before he
travelled out to challenge the plan to impeach
him.
The party’s National Vice Chairman in charge of
South-west, Chief Pius Akinyelure faulted
Olanusi’s impeachment in a statement he issued
in Lagos, noting that the decision of the state
assembly would not stand.
Akinyelure described the impeachment process
as a mockery of constitutional order, which he
said, Governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko
and all members of the State House of Assembly
were sworn in to uphold.
He lamented that despite the decision of a High
Court sitting in Akure that all parties should
maintain status quo until substantive suit is
determined, the legislative arm of the state went
ahead to impeach the deputy governor.
Akinyelure said the House of Assembly
committed three different infractions to the
1999 Constitution in the process of the deputy
governor, who had travelled out of the country
for medical check-up before impeachment
procedures started.
PoliticsISIS Al Baghdadi Is Dead: Radio Iran by brightec(op): 7:40pm On Apr 27, 2015
New Delhi:

The enigmatic chief of
Islamic State jihadist group Abu Bakr
al-Baghdadi is dead, Radio Iran has
reported today.
Earlier, a Guardian report quoting
sources with inside knowledge of the
group reported that al-Baghdadi was
severely injured in a US-led coalition
air strike in March.
According to that report, al-Baghdadi
was inujred at al-Baaj district of
Nineveh, close to the Syrian border. It
also said he was making a slow
recovery and was out of his day-to-
day control of the jihadist group.
Al-Baghdadi, believed to be in his
40s, had a $10 million US bounty on
his head. Since taking the reins of the
Islamic State in 2010, he had
transformed it from a local branch of
al-Qaida into an independent
transnational military force,
positioning himself as perhaps the
pre-eminent figure in the global
jihadist community.
ISIS suffered a series of major
setbacks in the recent months with
many of its top commanders being
killed or severely injured.
Recently, a top Iraqi military
commander Lieutenant General Abdul
Amir al Shammari told Sky News that
his forces had killed "more than 250
terrorists in the past few days".
He said this had been achieved with
assistance from the Iraqi air force,
military helicopters and coalition air
strikes. "The coalition strikes provided
cover for our troops to push
forward."
Under the leadership of al-Baghdadi,
the Islamic State, which called itself as
the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria
(ISIS) earlier, had gained ground
across northern and western Iraq in a
lightning advance in June and July last
year, causing several of Iraq's army
and police divisions to fall into
disarray.
It had carried out thousands of public
executions using brutal methods and
implemented strict Islamic law in
areas they captured, which sent
shockwave across the global
community.

PoliticsJonathan’s Defeat, Temporary Setback For PDP – by brightec(op): 6:26pm On Apr 27, 2015
The Presidency on Monday described the defeat
of President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015
presidential election as a temporary setback for
the ruling Peoples Democratic Party.
The defeat of the President by the the
candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj.
Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), brought to an
abrupt end, the 16-years rule of the PDP.
But the Presidency said supporters of the PDP
should not despair, adding that the defeat
should be an opportunity for the party to re-
strategise and plan ahead.
Special Adviser to the President on Political
Affairs, Prof. Rufai Ahmed Alkali, stated this in
an interview with journalists in Abuja.
He described the outcome of the 2015 general
election as a temporary setback and not the
final destination for the PDP.
Alkali appealed to the supporters of President
Jonathan to use this transition period as a time
for reflection to heal and re-strategise.
He said, “I wish to appreciate and thank all the
groups and individuals that have contributed
one way or the other to support President
Jonathan during the election.
“We should all see the outcome of the
presidential election as a temporary setback not
a full-stop in a long sentence of the political
history of this great country Nigeria.”
He said though the President and the PDP lost
in the election, the loss did not mean a final
bus-stop, adding that all the supporters of
President Jonathan still remain the most critical
political assets of the PDP and await the
direction of the party.
“It is conceivable that as a result of this
unprecedented setback, our members and
supporters may lose focus, hope and direction
and even be tempted to engage in divisive
activities, nonetheless, we should be more
united than ever before as the task now is to
join hands together to strengthen the party”,
Alkali stated.
He called on all the supporters of President
Jonathan nationwide, especially those that
contributed to the campaigns and stood for the
President in the just concluded presidential
election, to remain calm and resolute as the
country prepares for the May 29th handover to
the incoming administration.
Responding to questions on the decision of the
President to concede to his opponent even
when the entire result of the election was not
announced, the Presidential aide said, “Our
President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, has
displayed and establish an exceptional legacy
that will remain permanent not only in Nigeria
but in the whole of Africa.
“The President’s actions to call and
congratulate Gen. Muhammadu Buhari before
the final results were announced shows that Dr.
Jonathan is a man of his words and is leaving
an indelible mark in the sands of time”.
He expressed appreciation to the supporters of
the President and everyone for their individual
and collective support and urged them to have
faith in the PDP.
The Presidential Adviser further advised those
promoting chaos and disaffections in the
country to desist from it because according to
him, Nigeria has shamed all doomsday
prophets.

The AGF had last Wednesday written separate
letters to the Senate President, David Mark, and
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Aminu Tambuwal, asking them to stop the
constitution amendment in deference to the
suit challenging the process.
The AGF’s lawyer, Chief Bayo Ojo, maintained in
his letters dated April 22, 2015, that to go
ahead with the passage of the bill despite the
pendency of the suit challenging the process
“will be an affront to the rule of law and
democracy.”
President Goodluck Jonathan had refused to
assent to the 4th Alteration Bill on the grounds
of the alleged failure of the National Assembly
to fulfill the mandatory requirement for the
passage of the bill.
The AGF had filed the suit at the Supreme Court
challenging the final passage of the bill
following the amendment of the constitution by
the National Assembly conferring on itself the
power to pass an amendment of the
constitution without the president’s consent.
In his originating summons, the Federal
Government asked the apex court to make an
order nullifying and setting aside Sections 3, 4,
12, 14, 21, 23, 36, 39, 40, 43 and 44 of the
Fourth Alteration Act, 2015 purportedly passed
by the Defendant.
The plaintiff filed his application for
interlocutory injunction, through his counsel,
Chief Bayo Ojo (SAN), in view of the
determination of the National Assembly to
proceed with the amendment despite the
pending suit.
He anchored the application on provisions of
Order 3 Rule 14 of the Supreme Court Rules as
amended.
The AGF argued in the application that the
National Assembly was determined to proceed
with passing the amendment by overriding the
President’s assent despite the fundamental
nature of the issues raised against the passage
of the bill.
“Hon. Samson Osagie, Minority Whip of the
House of Representative said to the whole
world at a press Conference purposely called
on the issue in this suit that despite any case
filed against the said Act (which actually is a
Bill); the National Assembly would go ahead to
pass it into law,” a supporting affidavit deposed
to by Theophilus Okwute, in support of the suit.
The AGF also argued that the whole Nigerian
polity stood to benefit a lot if the issues in the
substantive suit are resolved one way or the
other before the National Assembly proceeded
with the passage of the proposed alterations to
the constitution.
The AGF said the balance of convenience tilts in
favour of resolution of this suit before any
further step could be taken on the Bill.
Okwute, who is of Bayo Ojo’s law firm, stated
in the affidavit, ”That I listened to Hon. Samson
Osagie, the Minority Whip of the House of
Representative on the NTA 9 O’clock News on
24/04/2015 when he said the National
Assembly would go ahead to pass the (Fourth
Alteration) Act (Bill) 2015 into law despite any
Court action because no order had been made
against the National Assembly to restrain it
from doing so.
“That by that very disposition of the said Hon.
Samson Osagie who spoke to the press as a
Principal Officer of the Defendant/Respondent,
it is clear that the Defendant/Respondent is
determined to proceed to pass the Fourth
Alteration Act (sic) into Law despite the
pendency of the substantive suit herein.
“That fundamental questions raised by the
plaintiff/applicant on the proposed alterations
to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria through the Fourth Alteration Act, 2015
which is in issue in this suit.
“That it will be in the larger interest of Nigeria
that those issues be resolved before the
Defendant/Respondent takes any further step
in giving effect to the proposed alterations to
the Constitution.
“That with the utterances of Hon. Samson
Osagie at the press conference earlier alluded
to in this affidavit, it is clear that the Defendant
is determined to ignore the proceeding before
this Honourable Court on the proposed
alteration and proceed to give effect to the
alterations to the Constitution.
“That the whole Nigerian legal system shall be
put into confusion if the Defendant/
Respondent proceeds to give effect to the
Fourth Alteration Act (Bill) 2015 and this suit
succeeds such that the Constitution remains
unaltered, meaning that the Act is void and or
no effect.”
