The United States has urged the Federal Government and its citizens to do everything possible to ensure the safe return of the more than 200 schoolgirls abducted from their school hostel in Chibok, Borno State.

The Nigerian Military had on Thursday, stated that it would not be in a hurry to rescue the Chibok girls who were abducted in April 2014.
The Acting Director, Defence Information, Military
Headquarters, Col. Rabe Abubakar, said that while it was of utmost concern to the military to rescue the girls, the
operation required adequate patience and planning.

According to the US acting Consul General, Dehab
Ghebreab, who spoke at the red-carpet première of the
Hollywood crime-drama thriller, ‘Captive’, in Lagos State
recently, the US government would stand against
individuals and groups, who target people for violence,
persecution or discrimination based on their religion.

She said, “Nigeria has its share of humanitarian problems
with Internally Displaced People due to the vicious
atrocities of Boko Haram. In 2014, the United States
provided about $11 million for humanitarian assistance to
Nigeria and we continue to support Nigeria to crush Boko
Haram. On this day (Thursday), the Chibok girls have been
missing for 535 days. Everything humanly possible must bedone to ‘Bring Back the Girls’.”

She also expressed the US’ commitment to end extreme
poverty in Nigeria and other African countries. The consul
general noted that the US had the knowledge and
technology necessary to end extreme poverty within two
decades.

“There is progress upon which to build; aggregate poverty
rates are now falling for every region of the world, and
there are 700 million fewer people living in extreme povertytoday than in 1990. However, even with this progress, 1.2 billion people are still living in extreme poverty and the majority live in Africa,” the US diplomat added.

Chairman, Lagos State House of Assembly Ad-hoc
committee on screening of nominees for commissioners
and special advisers, Hon. Wasiu Eshilokun, has assured
that the screening exercise would be thorough and
devoid of any witch-hunt.

Eshilokun, who is also the Deputy Speaker, gave this
assurance at a press conference organised by the
committee members to shed more light on why the
House opted for a screening committee first before the
open screening on the floor of the House.
While denying that the House was in the know of the
press release from the governor’s office to the effect that
the commissioners and special advisers will be sworn-in
on October 5, Eshinlokun said there was no rift between
the legislature and the executive on the screening of the
nominees.
According to him, though the screening is a new
development, it is within the constitutional powers of the
House as stipulated in Section 103(1) of the Nigerian
constitution.

He said: “It is in furtherance of this that the Lagos State
House of Assembly appointed this committee to screen
the nominees for the post of commissioners and special
advisers, which was sent to it by the governor.”
Ehinlokun noted that setting up the screening committee
is in the spirit of change mantra of the All Progressives
Congress- (APC) government.
He however added that any nominee found to have
presented fake certificate would be automatically
disqualified.

The UK National Crime Agency (NCA) has
disclosed that investigation into activities of
Nigeria’s former petroleum minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, started back in 2013.
The past minister was arrested on October 2 in London
over bribery and corruption allegations and was further
that day released on bail. Diezani was obligated to return
to the Charing Cross police station on Monday for further
questioning.
On Saturday the Agency provided some more details on
the matter. The statement on the NCA website reads:
“On Friday 2nd October, the National Crime Agency’s
recently formed International Corruption Unit arrested
five people across London as part of an investigation into
suspected bribery and money laundering offences.
“All five people arrested were released on conditional
police bail later that evening, pending further investigation
both in the UK and overseas.
“The investigation commenced in 2013 under the Proceeds of Corruption Unit, and transferred to the NCA earlier this year.”
Premium Times has learnt that Diezani’s travelling
documents, so as the ones of four other Nigerians
arrested alongside, were seized.
It should be recalled that hours after the reported arrest
the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission raided her Abuja house and sealed the
property.

Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has said his
appearance before the Code of Conduct Tribunal
today has further demonstrate his belief in the
rule of law and respect for the judiciary of the
country.
His media office on Monday, September 21, said the
country’s number three citizen would attend his trial
at the Code of Conduct Tribunal today (September
22) , In a personal message signed by Saraki and made available to Naij.com, the embattled senate
president if he were to be a Senator, nobody will be
interested in the asset declaration form he filled
over twelve years ago.
“Today, I appeared before the Code of Conduct
Tribunal for the commencement of my trial in a case concerning the asset declaration form I filled in 2003 after I have explored the opportunity to defend myfundamental human rights in other courts.
“My appearance in court today once again
demonstrates my belief in the rule of law and
respect for the judiciary of our country.
“As I stated while taking the plea in the case, I
reiterate my belief that the only reason while I am
going through this trial is because I am Senate
President. If I were to be just a Senator, I doubt if
anybody will be interested in the asset declaration
form I filled over twelve years ago.
“This belief stems from the fact that Section 3 (d) of
the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act
provides that If there is a breach or non-compliance
with any section of the law, the person involved
should be given the opportunity to either admit or
deny and that in the case of a written admission, no
reference to the Tribunal shall be necessary. So, If
the CCB had followed the guidelines, procedure or
the due process provided in its own law, we won’t behaving this trial.
“It is my humble opinion that this case is a vivid
example that there is still flagrant disregard for due
process in our polity. This trial is not only being
observed by Nigerians alone, the international
community is watching because Nigeria is a key
member of this community. So, the executive,
legislature and judiciary should do the right thing
that will truly demonstrate that we have imbibed the
spirit of positive change.
“It is however necessary for me to thank my
colleagues in the Senate for the solid support and
solidarity they demonstrated for me. I also thank
my counsel for the brilliance they have shown in
presenting our case and the supporters who were
present in the Tribunal in their hundreds. I want to
assure you that I am innocent of all the charges and
will clear my name in due course,” Saraki wrote.
Recall that the CCT ordered the arrest of Saraki
yesterday, September 21, for failing to appear at the
tribunal court to stand trial for a 13-count charge of
corruption levelled against him by the Code of
Conduct Bureau following his asset declaration.
