ABUJA – The Supreme Court has upheld the outcome of the April 11, 2015, governorship election that produced Governor Darius Ishaku of the People Democratic Party, PDP. A seven-man panel of Justices of the apex court, in a unanimous judgment this afternoon, dismissed the the appeal that was lodged by Senator Aisha Jumai Alhassan of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Justice Bode Rhodes-Vivour who delivered the lead verdict, affirmed the earlier judgment of the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal ‎which declared Gov Ishaku as the valid winner of the gubernatorial contest. “I am of the firm view that there is no merit in this appeal and it is hereby dismissed. The Judgment of the ‎Court of Appeal is affirmed and the election of governor Darius Ishaku is hereby upheld”, Justice Rhodes-Vivour held.

However, the apex court panel reserved its reasons for the judgement till February 22. Senator Alhassan who is currently the Minister of Women affairs, had prayed the apex court to set aside the verdict of the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal which earlier upheld governor Ishaku’s election. Ishaku-Darius ‎It will be recalled that the appellate court had on December 31, 2015, reversed the judgment of the Taraba State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal which nullified Ishaku’s election. In voiding the decision of the tribunal, a five-man panel of Justices of the appellate court, held that Ishaku, validly won the governorship contest. It maintained that the Justice Musa Danladi Abubakar led tribunal,‎ “grossly misdirected itself”, when it not only nullified governor Ishaku’s election, but went ahead to declare the APC candidate winner.

Justice Abdul Aboki who read the lead judgment, said the tribunal acted outside its jurisdiction when it invalidated Ishaku’s election on the premise that he was not validly nominated by the PDP. The appellate court stressed that the issue of nomination of a candidate by a political party “is clearly a pre-election matter which no tribunal has the jurisdiction to entertain”.

‎According to the court, neither the APC nor its candidate, Alhassan, had the requisite locus-standi to query the outcome of the PDP governorship primary election that produced Ishaku. ‎It emphasised that under section 87(9) of the Electoral Act, only those that participated in the said PDP primary election, has the statutory right to challenge its outcome at the Federal High Court or State High Court. ‎The appellate court said contention on whether the PDP rightly or wrongly conducted its governorship primary election, did not fall within matters that could be entertained by an election petition tribunal.

Because we are still enjoying 24hrs of total power blackout.

This is frustration in its cruellest form..

I came back today to meet an outrageous Bill from PHCN waiting for me...

You all can imagine my shock and consternation when my bill for October was increased indiscriminately.

Is the government trying to drive us to an early grave or encourage vices amongst the youths of this country? You all will agree with me that this hike is most unreasonable, ridiculous and wicked.

To add insult to injury, the reason given for this sudden review of bills is that, there is an increase in energy supply ranging from 5% to 60% to be very sincere, my area has not benefited from this 'increase in supply' as our electricity is still rationed.

To say I'm pained will be an understatement. Please somebody should talk to me before I lose my mind.

Appeal Court appoints new election tribunal chairman for Cross River State.



The President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, has appointed Justice O.A. Adeniyi, as the Chairman of the Cross River National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal currently sitting in Calabar.

Adeniyi, a member of the three-man panel was elavated to head the tribunal after a petition was lodged with the Appeal Court against the erstwhile chairman, Justice C. Awubra.

In the petition filed by Mr Paul Erokoro, counsel to some of the respondents at the tribunal, argued that Awubra’s appointment as chairman was unconnstitutional.


Erokoro had in his application also challenged the jurisdiction of the tribunal and the competence of Awubra to head the panel.

According to him, Awubra, a Customary Court Judge is not qualified to head the tribunal as the Constitution provides that its chairman must be a High Court Judge.

Before the tribunal’s sitting on Wednesday, all the lead counsels were briefed on the changes which reverted Awubra to an ordinary member of the tribunal and the elavation of Adeniyi.

In spite of the development, Erokoro asked the tribunal to start all cases afresh, arguing that proceedings under Awubra should be deemed null and void.


Other counsels however argued against the request citing several cases to support their positions.

Prof. Jacob Dada and Mr Essien Andrew argued that the tribunal cannot start afresh as the three-man tribunal remain the same.

They said that the change was only administrative and that the sitting of the tribunal was time-bound.

They further argued that Erokoro’s application was incompetent and overtaken by events.

Adeniyi reserved judgment on Erokoro’s application and also said that the tribunal would take all the substantive matters before it to conclusion.

The chairman advised parties in the respective cases to adopt their final written addresses.

Adeniyi, who adjourned all the matters for judgment, ruled that parties would be communicated on the date set by the tribunal.

The chairman noted that the 180 days provided for in the Electoral Act for the tribunal to wind down would elapse by Oct. 13, 2015.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that five cases were brought before the tribunal for determination.

They include: Stanislaws Tawo Afu of Labour Party versus Christopher Agibe of PDP; Sen. Bassey Otu versus Sen. Gershom Bassey; Dr Alex Egbona versus Rep. Bassey Ewa; Dominic Edem versus Apostle Essien Ayi and that of Julius Okputu versus Sen. Rose Oko

Hours To Promised Inauguration Of A 260km Highway, Buhari Refuses To Visit Cross River



The proposed visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to Cross River State for the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a 260km superhighway has been cancelled.

A statement by Christian Ita, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River, on Thursday, confirmed the cancellation.

It stated that the decision to postpone the ceremony was communicated to the governor in a letter signed by the Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari.

“The presidency attributed the shift to a letter written to the president by the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Environment, Nana Fatima Mede.

“She claimed that the proposed highway, if allowed to go on, would cut through the Cross River National Park.

“The letter claimed that the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) on the proposed road was yet to be carried out,” the statement said.

But Mr. Ita stated that the proposed road would not traverse the Cross River National Park, as the superhighway would be several kilometres away from the national park.

“Based on the input of the Cross River National Park, the road has since been re-routed with the alignment now several kilometers away from the park.

“As a governor who is passionate about the preservation of the state’s biodiversity with his establishment of the Green Police, he would not embark on a project that would undermine the environment,” Mr. Ita stated.

He said the EIA report on the road was being handled by environmental consultants, PGM (Nig) Limited recommended to the state by the Federal Ministry of Environment.

Mr. Ita said the governor would work closely with the presidency to clear areas of doubt, adding that a new date for the ceremony would be announced later.

Meanwhile Cross River State Governor Ben Ayade had informed residents about the planned visit to inaugurate the 260 kilometre Calabar –Katsina Ala Road as an indication that the president share a good dream for the state.

He spoke while inspecting a portion of the Highway where work has already commenced at Nsan village in Akamkpa Local Government Area.

Ayade said the state was ready to host the president.

He said he was humbled and challenged that the President believes and shares in his vision of embarking on the project, with the aim of boosting the state’s economy.

“I am excited, challenged and fulfilled that somebody as high as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria could understand and share in my dreams and aspiration to create a Super Highway that will also create that harmony between the northern and southern part of Nigeria,” stated

Dear Sir,

DEMAND FOR THE THOROUGH AND URGENT INVESTIGATION AND PROSECUTION OF PROF. OSIM CYRIL NDIFON OF THE FACULTY OF LAW, UNIVERSITY OF CALABAR FOR RAPE AND OTHER OFFENCES

INTRODUCTION
We are alumni of the Faculty of Law,
University of Calabar, Calabar. We are all
barristers and solicitors of the Supreme
Court of Nigeria and are spread throughout
Nigeria and well beyond. Professor Cyril
Osim Ndifon, the disgraced and suspended
Dean of the Faculty of Law, University of
Calabar, was one of our law lecturers.
He taught us the course Nigerian Legal
System sometime in the year 1999. We
heard with alarm the allegation that
Professor Cyril Osim Ndifon raped
Sinemobong Ekong Nkang, one of his
students, following her refusal of his
sexual overtures.
While we know that by section 36 (5) of
the Constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria 1999 (as amended), a presumption
of innocence inures in favor of anyone
accused of having committed an offence,
we note with dismay that the allegation is
all too familiar and is an enduring theme
of the over two-decades-old academic
career of Prof. Ndifon.
Ndifon’s victims number in the hundreds, if
not thousands. Our own class, which is
approximately 200-strong, teems with
victims of his intimidation, sexual
harassment and sexual predation.


THE FACTS OF THE RAPE
Professor Cyril Osim Ndifon had scheduled
a test for his 400-level Law of Equity &
Trust class to be held on Saturday, August
29, 2015 in one of the halls of the Faculty
of Law. The test held as scheduled. Forty
minutes into a sixty-minute exercise, he
entered the hall and asked everyone to
hand in their answer booklets.
As invigilators moved from desk to desk
collecting scripts, those who were yet to
be reached tried feverishly to round up
their answers. Professor Ndifon walked up
to one of these students, a 20-year-old girl
whom he had been admiring for ages,
grabbed her script and tore it to shreds,
dumping the shreds on her desk.
The hapless and totally bewildered girl
gathered the shreds and stuffed them into
her bag. About half an hour later, she was
on her way out of the faculty building and
was bound for her hostel in the company
of friends when Prof. Ndifon drove in.
He had left shortly after the drama in the
examination hall. On seeing her, he asked
whether she still had her shredded answer
script. Yes, she answered. Prof. Ndifon
then asked her to gather them, get a fresh
foolscap sheet of paper and go up to his
office to copy out her original answers.
She went up to his office where she met
his secretary and two other persons. She
explained her mission and was allowed to
sit with them in the outer office to copy
out her answers. The Dean’s office is on
the first floor. Shortly thereafter, Prof.
Ndifon walked in.
He directed her to go to his private office
on the second floor so she could use the
table there. She had been writing with the
answer script placed on her thighs and had
been uncomfortable. She gratefully went to
his office on the floor above and settled
down to work.
About five minutes into her writing, Prof.
Ndifon walked in with his trademark
swagger. He had a glass of wine in his
hand. He took a sip of it and, without
swallowing it, asked a kiss of her. She
declined and continued with her writing. He
went out. About five minutes later, he
returned. This time, he locked the door and
removed the key from the lock.
To put the girl’s mind at ease, he told her
he wanted to work and could do without
distractions. He sat on his chair and
seemed to be working when he suddenly
stood up, walked up to the girl and
solicited for a kiss. Again, the girl turned
him down. He seemed to take her rejection
in his strides and told her to go on with
her writing. However, he remained
restless.
A few minutes later, he planted himself
before her and tried to force her to drink
his wine. When she again refused he
poured some of it into his mouth and tried
to force a wine-laden kiss on her. The girl
fought him off, causing some of the wine
to spill on the floor and on her clothes.
Determined to have some reward for his
exertions, he dragged her from her seat to
the settee a few metres away and told her
point blank that he wanted to have sex
with her. She told him that she would not
have sex with him. He tried to forcefully
UnCloth her. She screamed. With no one
answering her screams, he undressed
himself and fetched a condom from a shelf
in his office. He put it on and, pinning her
down, forced his manhood into her body,
inflicting a great physical and emotional
pain that was as brutal as it was
mindless.
While he continued to hurt her, there was a
knock at the door. The fellow knocked and
went away, the footfall receding. Prof.
Ndifon got off the body of his young
victim, wore his clothes and helped her
into her own clothes. He apologized
profusely, telling her that he did not know
what had come over him. He opened the
door and went out.
The girl looked round for her mobile phone
so that she could place an SOS call. It
was nowhere to be found. She went to the
door and tried the handle. It was locked. In
her traumatized state, she had not heard
him locking it. With nothing to do, she
imposed some composure on herself. She
had gone there to write her test. She had
to follow through as she was anxious not
to fail the course of no less a lecturer than
the Dean of the Faculty himself.
About thirty minutes later, her nightmare
turned the key in the lock and entered. He
was carrying a bottle of Guinness Stout
which he opened and began to drink out
of. He offered it to her but she declined.
He tried to force the bottle into her mouth.
Some of the drink entered her mouth
which she promptly spat onto the floor. He
took a swig of the bottle, dragged her
close and forced the drink from his mouth
into hers.
Yet again, she spat it out on the floor. He
flew into a rage and ordered her to
UnCloth at the count of three. His victim
had not eaten all day. Her ordeal lasted
from around 3 to 5pm. She was very
exhausted and told him as much. But Prof.
Ndifon was having none of it. He counted
to three. When his victim refused to obey
him, he dragged her to the settee and,
suing his knees to pinion her, ripped the
zipper on her trousers.
She was weak both from hunger and her
ordeal and, in tears, pleaded with him to
let her be. He was deaf to her entreaties.
He told her that she was so great an
actress that she could win an Oscar,
assuring her he had met many girls like
her in the past.
After more struggling, his weary victim
was momentarily free. She got down on
her knees and pleaded with him to let her
go. He simply pushed her down, wore a
condom and once again forced his
manhood into her body. When he saw that
she was at the point of losing
consciousness, he got off her body and
told her she could go.
He offered to drop her off in his car. But
she refused his offer. She got dressed and
was staggering down the stairs when he
caught up with her and asked her to carry
his bag to his car. She complied. Only one
of his staff was left. He assisted his boss
to lock up the Dean’s office after which
they drove off in Prof. Ndifon’s car.
By this time, all her friends and course
mates who had been waiting for her had
all left, except one who refused to leave.
According Sinemobong, the said friend saw
her ’’…in tears and rushed up to help me.
He asked what happened to me, but I
could not still put myself together to tell
him what happened. I asked him to help
dial my mother’s number in my phone, and
I narrated briefly what Ndifon did to me.
My friend, with the help of a Good
Samaritan drove me to the Police Station
where I made a written statement”.

THE ISSUES
1. It is against university regulations for a
lecturer to hold a test on a Saturday in a
programme that is full time. The law
programme is full time;
2. Assuming that the girl had been guilty
of examination malpractice as alleged by
Prof. Ndifon, tearing up her answer script
was not the proper course of action to
take as the university has a clear protocol
for dealing with examination malpractice
issues.
3. Assuming that the girl had been guilty
of examination malpractice, Prof. Ndifon
had no authority whatsoever to forgive her
as she broke University rules, not his
private rules. In asking her to re-copy the
answers on a fresh sheet, he therefore
acted ultra vires as a lecturer; and, in
covering up a wrongdoing, he fell foul of
University regulations. In fact, he broke
extant law;
4. There is no satisfactory explanation for
why Prof. Ndifon took the girl from his
office as a Dean where there were two or
three other people to his personal office as
a lecturer– where there was absolutely
nobody. The facts reveal that the girl had
been carefully chosen as a target;
5. Prof. Ndifon had previously claimed that
his sex with the girl was consensual.
Assuming but not conceding that girl
actually gave herself to him voluntarily,
such consent is invalid at law as a
presumption of undue influence inures
against Prof. Ndifon considering his
position as her course lecturer and also
the Dean of the Faculty of Law;
6. Professor Ndifon has not been accused
of anything that is not within his perverse
and perverted nature.

OTHER CRIMES
Prof. Cyril Osim Ndifon was a law
undergraduate of the University of Calabar
in the 1980’s. However, in his second or
third year, the University rusticated him for
cultism-related activities.
He went to the University of Ife (now
Obafemi Awolowo University) where he
later obtained his Bachelor of Law degree
(LLB) and the University of Jos for his
Master of Laws (LLM). We are dismayed
that the University of Calabar eventually
offered him a position as an academic
staff and thus gave him a platform which
he used to pursue his mischief for about
two decades now.
It is our opinion that based on the
character deficit which his rustication
typifies; the University should not have
employed him. There is thus no doubt in
our minds that by its negligence or
perhaps even outright refusal to carry out
a thorough background check on Prof. Cyril
Osim Ndifon, the University of Calabar
unleashed an absolute monster on the
hapless students of the University in
general and students of the Faculty of Law
in particular.
The University of Calabar therefore shares
direct blame in the unfortunate incident of
August 29, 2015. Prof. Cyril Osim Ndifon
attended the Nigerian Law School.
From our experience, we know that before
a law graduate is offered admission by the
School, he must fill out a form– which is
on oath. Part of the information that the
form seeks to elicit is whether the
applicant had ever been rusticated from
the university and whether he was or had
ever been a secret cultist.
An applicant who answers those questions
in the affirmative is invariably denied
admission. Considering that Prof. Cyril
Osim Ndifon was offered admission and
that he went on to pass out of the School,
it is clear that he lied on oath.
Prof. Cyril Osim Ndifon is also an
academic entrepreneur albeit in a negative
sense. He carries on a thriving money-for-
grades trade and habitually solicits for
money from students in exchange for
grades. In our time, one of his agents was
our classmate. He habitually failed
students who either refused to bow to his
extortionist scheme or yield to his rabid
sexual advances.


THE INTRIGUES
Prof. Ndifon is a powerful man. He is a
legal practitioner, a professor of law and a
Dean of the Faculty of Law. He also has a
huge sentimental capital. He is Cross River
State’s first (and, to the best of our
knowledge, only) Professor of Law.
People in the highest echelons of power in
the State and beyond are working hard to
help him escape justice. They argue that
Cross River State will be the loser if he
falls from his exalted position.
It does not matter to them that his sexual
rapacity knows no tribe or tongue. Prof.
Ndifon himself has never been guilty of
displaying any ethnic sentiments in his
selection of victims.
In fact, he has an eclectic taste: whether
Igbo or Efik, Ejagham or Ibibio, Yoruba or
Ijaw, Yakurr or Yala, everyone is fair game.
Besides, it is disingenuous for anyone to
suggest that Cross River State can be best
served by a serial rapist. No glory can
sprout from a foundation of shame and
infamy. He is not an asset to Cross River
State but rather a heavy liability.
Already, Prof. Ndifon and his proxies have
taken to social media, especially Facebook,
to plead his case. Firstly, they leaked the
identity of the victim by publishing her
name and picture; their aim is to
traumatize her further into perpetual
silence.
All previous press reports had withheld the
information as to the identity of the
victim. Secondly, they have tried to shape
the narrative in a way that casts the victim
as a morally loose person. But that cannot
stand. Even if a lady is a LovePeddler, it is no
less rape for any man to have sexual
intercourse with her without her consent.
Again, Prof. Cyril Osim Ndifon and his
sympathizers are piling tremendous
pressure on the girl to drop the case. They
have also subjected her to threats and
intimidation. In fact, her lawyers have
taken up the matter of an Army captain
who called the victim to threaten her.


OUR PRAYERS
On the strength of the foregoing, we
earnestly and respectfully urge on you the
following demands:
1. That you thoroughly, professionally and
impartially investigate the case of rape
against Prof. Ndifon with a view to
charging him to court to answer for his
evil. His reputation as a skirt chaser,
sexual harasser and rapist is the stuff of
legends. For about two decades, the randy
academic had blackmailed many female
students into hopping onto his infamous
table by threatening to frustrate their
graduation from the law programme unless
they had sex with him. The monster must
be quarantined before he does more
damage. The reign of impunity must stop.
2. That you liaise with the Nigerian Law
School to investigate Prof. Cyril Osim
Ndifon for perjury and to prosecute him for
same.
3. That you bind Prof. Cyril Osim Ndifon
over for good conduct to the end that no
harm will come to any of the signatories to
this petition. We urge you to ensure that
this matter is not compromised or even
compounded. As the police often remind
us, it is an offence to compound a felony.
Rape is not a matter for amicable
settlement.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
The Law Class of 1997, University of
Calabar.

Cc: Lalasticlala, Seun. Please let's all help this little girl get justice. This matter must not be swept under the carpet.

With the prevalence of Atm Cards theft and cards related fraud, it becomes imperative that the public be aware of possible remedies available to victims.

Do you know that if your ATM Card is stolen you have a remedy? According to the Cybercrime (Prohibition) Prevention Act 2015, Section 15(2) states that "A person who steals an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) commits an offence and shall be liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term of not more than 7 years or a fine of not more than N10, 000,000.00 or to both fine and imprisonment. All proceeds of such theft shall be forfeited to the lawful owners of the ATM."

The said Act also makes provision for punishment of various Computer related fraud, Cyber-terrorism, Cyber stalking,Cyber squatting to mention just a few.

It is an Act that provides for the prohibition, prevention, detection, response, investigation and prosecution of cybercrimes, and for other related matters.

For those criminal elements out there, it is no longer business as usual. The Long arm of the Law awaits anyone who prides himself in atm card related fraud.

A word they say, is enough for the wise!!!
