While reading the lead judgment, Justice Adah stated that the proceedings of the CCT shouldn’t have been conducted “in a shady or clandestine manoeuvre” the way the ex parte order was obtained by the prosecution. However, the court said it could not upturn Onnoghen’s conviction since the trial had already taken place. A source said, “Even though the NJC (National Judicial Council) recommended that Onnoghen should be paid his benefits in full, I can tell you that he has not been paid anything and all his allowances have stopped. “His accounts remain frozen. It was some judges who even contributed money for him recently for medicals expenses. “I was told that his ordeal might be connected with his decision to challenge his conviction at the Court of Appeal which the government of the day might have found embarrassing because the Court of Appeal accused them of depriving Onnoghen of a fair hearing.” Onnoghen, who was CJN from March 1, 2017 to April 5, 2019, was suspended by Buhari in January, a few weeks to the presidential election, on allegations that he failed to declare five bank accounts in his asset declaration form at the Code of Conduct Bureau. Buhari hinged his decision to suspend Onnoghen on an ex parte order by the CCT Chairman, Danladi Umar. Onnoghen’s many attempts to stop his trial were futile. He also faced a mini-trial at the NJC where the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission presented evidence against him. The NJC subsequently recommended his retirement with full benefits and Onnoghen immediately complied and tendered his resignation before Buhari on April 5. However, his resignation letter was not acknowledged by the buhari regime until his conviction by the CCT on May 28. The CCT ordered Onnoghen’s sacking and barred him from holding public office for 10 years. It also ordered that the sums of money in different currencies found in his Standard Chartered Bank accounts, a total of N46m, be forfeited to the Buhari regime https://ebeanonews..com/2019/12/fg-bars-onnoghen-from-travelling-seizes.html?m=1 |
The immediate past Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, has been barred from travelling out of the country by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.). Saturday PUNCH reports that the move may be part of a fresh probe into Onnoghen’s affairs. Onnoghen was convicted for not declaring his assets by the Code of Conduct Tribunal in April An internal report issued by the Nigeria Immigration Service, which was read out to our correspondent by a top officer, stated that Onnoghen, his wife and daughter were attempting to travel to Accra, Ghana when they were accosted by immigration officers. The report stated, “On November 11, 2019, retired Honourable Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, was attempting to travel to Accra, Ghana. He was in company with his wife, Nkoyo, and daughter. “His passport, with number A50445233, was flagged because Justice Onnoghen’s name was on the watch list. The passport is currently in custody of the NIS.” The senior officer told Saturday PUNCH that the passport seized from Onnoghen was not a diplomatic passport but the ordinary green passport. The immigration officer told our correspondent that the directive to seize Onnoghen’s passport came from the Presidency. “Justice Onnoghen will have to meet with the Presidency to know why his passport was seized. We are only following instructions,” the officer said. https://punchng.com/fg-bars-onnoghen-from-travelling-seizes-his-passport/ https://ebeanonews..com/2019/12/fg-bars-onnoghen-from-travelling-seizes.html?m=1

The Old Residency Museum, the First Aso Rock in Nigeria that housed the offices of Lord Lugard and other early administrators and colonial officials of Nigeria are still intact in Calabar, the Cross River State capital. You can still see the massive offices that served as Nigeria’s first ‘Aso Rock’, where both the Northern and Southern Protectorate of Nigeria were administered from before it was amalgamated by the same Lord Lugard in 1914. Materials used in erecting the structure, were all brought in from Britain by the Royal Niger Company, with the experts to build it. The one-storey edifice was built in 1884 in Old Calabar. Now called Old Residency, it was originally known as the Government House, and it accommodated the early British administrators of the Niger coast territories. The Old Residency is situated between the residence of the State Chief Judge and the official residence of the deputy governor, and with presidential lodge in front. The building, in 1950, also served as ministerial guest house. After the Nigerian Civil War, the Old Residency accommodated offices of the then new South Eastern States of Nigeria. The building was declared a national monument in 1959 and has been renovated over time by the National Commission for Museums and Monuments in 1986. Credit is given to Dr. Ekpo O. Eyo, the first Nigerian who became Director of Antiquities of the commission and later Director General in 1968 till 1986 by which time the place was open to the public. He influenced the retention and upgrade of the Old Residency to present national status. The pioneer surveyor of antiquities at the commission, a Briton, was Mr Kenneth C. Murray from 1943 to 1968. Curator of the museum, Mrs Evelyn Osuagwu said the first man that occupied it was one Consul Hewett, who now has a street named after him in Calabar. She said the Old Residency is now used as a national museum, adding that after Hewett, many other colonial administrators and key government functionaries had offices and lived there with their families. The Curator said that the museum was the first tourism site in Calabar, which attracted thousands of visitors therein. She explained that the museum also showcases the culture of Nigeria and historical artefacts. “We keep antiquities and ancient things that have values. We collect things that have values and that include educational, scientific and ancient values. “We also have a research department whereby we research into people’s culture and showcase to our visitors. “Today, the museum is a tourists site, attracting thousands of visitors who wants to sight the the items and machineries used in the colonial era,” she said. History lives in Nigeria’s first Aso Rock, the old Residency Calabar. If you are thinking of tourism, think Cross River. Article, Photos are that of George Odok Jnr, NAN Correspondent.

The Federal Government has announced plans to establish community museums as part of efforts to ensure that local communities benefit from tourism. The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, announced the plan on Thursday at the ongoing 4th World UNWTO/UNESCO World Conference on Tourism and Culture in Kyoto, Japan. A statement on the event was made available to newsmen in Abuja by Mr. Segun Adeyemi, Special Assistant to the President (Media) Office of the Minister of Information and Culture ”In Nigeria, we observed that tourists stay in the big cities when they visit. ‘They visit the museums in the cities where objects gotten from different parts, including the rural areas, are displayed but they hardly go to the rural areas. ”To encourage tourists to visit the rural areas where money spent is quickly reflected in the local economy, we are trying to establish community museums,” the minister said. ”Parts of ancient residencies of traditional rulers and important chiefs are being turned to museums. ‘Thus, we are not limiting museums to big cities. Money spent by tourists while visiting these rustic places stay longer in these areas. “Lamido Adamawa now has the Fombina Palace museum, just like the Emir of Potiskum has palace museum,” he said. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2019/12/fg-to-establish-community-museums-to-boost-tourism-lai-mohammed/

The US had been cracking down on cyber scammers recently, over 80 Nigerians had been arrested in the USA for internet fraud and other online crimes during the fourth quarter of 2019. After the arrests, more charges were pressed on some of the suspects and one of them is not just a scammer. Abaeze Atuche is a hacker and he had done something that no hacker had ever attempted to do before. Atuche hacked the US government and gave all members of his family and 15 of his friends’ permanent American citizenship. As we speak the American government is in a process of deporting all 33 people who got their citizenship as a result of Atuche’s hack. No details as to how he pulled it off yet but insiders say his skills are unbelievable. “The US government online network is impregnable but this guy proved it otherwise. If he was not arrested I don’t think there was ever going to be an investigation on how his family members got their citizenship”. Abaeze Atuche is only 29 and the hacking started five years ago when he was only 24-years-old. He entered the US using a fake American passport in 2013 and never left. By 2016 his big family and 15 of his Nigerian friends were permanent US citizens. https://ebeanonews..com/2019/12/nigerian-man-hacked-us-govt-and-gave.html?m=1 https://talkofnaija.com/nigerian-man-hacked-the-us-govt-and-gave-his-family-and-friends-permanent-citizenship/?fbclid=IwAR0wGX4TkPdfS_-IWmtrLZ5kyCZx9dubPhfPvvOu8239FygNaCmtFZ_uHoo
