Crime › Police arrest Ex-NMA Chairman Who Served As Fake Medical Doctor For 9 Years by dridowu(op):
The long arm of the law caught up with a 44-
year-old secondary school certificate holder,
Martins Ugwu Okpeh, who, for nine years had
been parading himself as a medical doctor and
even rose to become the chairman of a branch
of the Nigerian Medical Association, NMA.
Okpeh, an indigene of Ogbadibo local government
area of Benue State and father of five stole
copies of the medical and academic credentials
of his childhood friend Dr. George Davidson, a
medical doctor practising in Jos and used it to
secure employment in the Federal Ministry of
Health.
The fake doctor continued his deceit and
practised as a medical doctor and collected
salaries from the ministry until the lid was blown
off his scheme.
An anonymous petition led the police to
investigate his activities and he was paraded on
Tuesday by the deputy force spokesman, CSP
Abayomi Shogunle.
According to Shogunle, an anonymous petition
from the ministry endorsed the police analytical
tracking and interception centre for discreet
investigation.
And “what was perceived as unprofessional
conduct and unwholesome behaviour of inciting
trouble and blackmailing by the selfacclaimed
medical doctor Martins Ugwu Okpeh prompted an
anonymous petition against him to the Federal
Civil Service Commission in May 2015.”
Shogunle said investigation conducted through
the records available at the Medical and Dental
Council of Nigeria showed that the Okpeh
adopted the identity of Dr. Davidson, a true
medical doctor on residency training in Jos.
“Martins Ugwu has been parading himself as a
medical doctor in the Federal Ministry of Health
in Abuja for almost one decade and was among
medical volunteers trained by the ministry in
conjunction with African-Union Support to Ebola
Outbreak in West-Africa (ASEOWA) mission in
Liberia,” Shogunle said.
Confirming his involvement, Okpeh said he
actually took the certificates from his friend to
join the Health Ministry in order to unearth the
fraud and “mess” there as an insider.
“I never opted for clinical services to avoid
damage that may occur, I went into
administration and research. It is in the Health
Services, Research and Statistics that all the
fraud in the health sector is found.
“I have great remorse but its my desire to save
my country that pushed me into this, I have great
passion for Nigeria, I participated in the Ebola
mission and much more and have not even been
paid.
“Severally, there were biometric verifications, but
I survived them, I was the NMA chairman in
2008, Federal Ministry of health, I don’t think has
the mechanisms for that, the Ministry is porous,”
he said.

Politics › Pro-aregbesola Rallies In Osogbo Photos by dridowu(op): 4:05pm On Jul 07, 2015
A huge crowd of residents of Osogbo, the Osun
state capital on Tuesday gathered to condemn
what they described as unfair stigmatisation of
the Governor of the state, Ogbeni Rauf
Aregbesola over issues of unpaid salaries. At different rallies held in different parts of the
state capital, Osogbo, the residents who trooped
out under different groups demanded explanation
for what they called desperate moves by the
opposition to capitalize on the nationwide
problems of salary challenge to create mayhem
in the state.
Among those who trooped out were women,
artisans, traders, and civil rights organizations
such as the Ola Oni Centre for Good Governance,
Osun State Civil Society Coalition, Committee for
Democracy and Human Rights, Centre for Voters
Awareness, Coalition Groups for Good
Governance, Sharing Heart International, Climate
and Environmental Awareness Initiative, who
insisted that they must let those championing
the campaigns of calumny against Aregbesola
realize they are on a failed mission. From Aiyetoro area of the state capital to Old
Garage Area, Olaiya and Okefia Roundabout, the
pro-Aregbesola campaigners carried different
placards with different inscriptions such as
“Don’t stigmatise Aregbesola over unpaid
salaries”, “Osun is not the only state owing
workers”, “Omisore, PDP funding violence against
Aregbesola’s government”, “Salary issue is a
national challenge” and many others.
One of those who led the rally at Olaiya, and a
civil right advocate, Comrade Amitolu Shitu, while
addressing the crowd, said the people of Osun
must be wary of selfish politicians using the
salary issues to create tension and make
Aregbesola appear like an enemy of the people.

Shitu said, “To the best of our knowledge, the
Nigeria Labour Congress has identified at least
23 states of the federation where salaries are
not paid up to date. In fact, if you look at the
local government workers, Osun is one of the
states owing the least number of months with
the payment local government workers up till
February and we are aware that even that of
March is ready. There are states with up to 8
months of unpaid salaries in councils.
“The same thing goes for state civil servants.
Why then is this crazy stigmatization of Osun and
its governor? We are here to say enough is
enough.”

Politics › Lagos Presents Cheques To Iyana-ipaja, Idimu Fire Tanker Victims by dridowu(op): 2:24pm On Jul 07, 2015
Lagos state governor, Akinwunmi Ambode on
Tuesday redeemed his promise to assist victims
of recent tanker fire explosions in Iyana-Ipaja
and Idimu areas of the State with the distribution
of cheques to 243 victims enumerated by the
State government.
The governor who was represented by his
Deputy, Dr. (Mrs.) Oluranti Adebule at the event
held at the Igando Rehabilitation Centre, Igando,
urged the beneficiaries to utilise the
government’s widow’s mite to rehabilitate
themselves as much as they could.
“We know that what government has given is not
enough but with the belief that you are going to
put it to judicious use, it would go a long way to
help out. Please stay peaceful and remain
focused”.
“We want to you to go back home and
rehabilitate yourself as much as you could. The
good Lord would continue to be with you. We
pray not to witness this kind of incidence again.
We share in your feelings and urge you to
continue to give your support to this
administration,” he said.
He urged citizens to continue to be patient and
join hands with his administration, adding that
the government is going to be very responsive
and has already demonstrated that by the
financial assistance.
Earlier, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of
Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, Dr
Aderemi Desalu said from the Iyana Ipaja
incident, 76 persons were recommended for
financial assistance out which seven were
landlords and got N500, 000 each while 64
others who were shop owners each got N150,
000, while five tricycle operators got N50, 000
each.
Desalu said from the Idimu petrol tanker
incident, a total of 369 were affected out of
which 167 are adults. “We brought members of
that community to this camp. We had a total of
369 residents including children. They have been
here for one month and would be departing very
soon. 167 of them are adults. We recommended
N50, 000 but the Governor magnanimously
doubled what we recommended.
Meanwhile, a Committee set up by Governor
Ambode to examine the immediate and remote
causes of the petrol tanker disasters witnessed
last month has submitted its report.
The Committee chaired by the Secretary to the
State Government, Mr. Tunji Bello presented its
report to the Governor on Tuesday at the Lagos
House, Alausa Ikeja.
It would be recalled that Governor Ambode in the
wake of the Iyana Ipaja and Idimu petrol tanker
explosion set up a fact finding committee with a
charge on them to prepare guidelines for ethical
conduct for tanker drivers, who were found
culpable in the unfortunate incidents.
The committee was also expected to engage the
insurance industry and work out appropriate
policies expected to protect residents of the
state from havoc in future tanker incidences in
the state.
In the report, the Committee made far reaching
recommendations to the Governor on how to
prevent reoccurrence of such disasters in future.
Receiving the report, Governor Ambode promised
to work on the recommendations, saying that the
state government will take necessary steps to
protect the live and property of its citizenry.
He said his administration does not subscribe to
forcing down directives hence the decision to set
up the committee with representatives of
relevant stakeholders to fashion out preventive
strategies against such occurrences.

Crime › 5 Nigerian Students Detained In Malaysia For Internet Scam Involving RM2.4m by dridowu(op): 1:16pm On Jul 06, 2015
GEORGE TOWN, July 6 (Bernama) -- Five Nigerian students and two local women believed to be involved in an internet fraud amounting to RM2.4 million were detained during raids in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur.

The five students, aged between 20 and 30, and pursuing Information Technology courses in a leading private college in Kuala Lumpur, were detained at several condominiums in Petaling Jaya, Cyberjaya, Damansara and Kuala Lumpur on June 30.

Following the arrest of the five student, police detained the two local women, aged 40 and 55, who are the owners of the accounts used by the syndicate said Penang Commercial Crimes chief ACP Azmi Adam, here today.

He said police also seized five laptops, 20 hand phones, ATM cards, SIM cards and documents believed to have been used to con their victims.

Azmi said police launched 'Ops Merpati' after receiving a report from the owner of an ice producing factory owner in George Town who claimed he had been cheated by the syndicate.

The 62-year-old victim said he had received an e-mail from the syndicate in March, informing him that he was among 50 recipients selected to receive RM15.9 million from the government of the United States.

"The e-mail requested the victim to follow certain procedures to ensure he did not miss the opportunity. Convinced by the contents of the e-mail, the victim carried out 51 transactions involving money, to accounts numbers given by the syndicate before realising it was a scam. He later lodged a police report," he said.

Azmi said initial investigations revealed that the syndicate had conned several victims to a tune of RM2.4 million.

Police have also found transactions involving up to RM1 million that were banked in from a neigbouring country.

Politics › Boat Mishap: Lagos Recovers Bodies Of 6 Dead Children by dridowu(op): 2:25pm On Jul 02, 2015
The Lagos State Government says the bodies of six children who drowned in Wednesday’s boat mishap in Ojo area of Lagos, western Nigeria, have been recovered.

At a news conference in Alausa, Ikeja on Thursday, Managing Director, Lagos State Waterways Authority, LASWA, Yinka Marinho disclosed that three of the bodies were recovered yesterday and three today.

According to him, eight of the 14 children survived the tragedy as six unfortunately died, adding that what happened was that a Motorised Boat rammed into a canoe carrying the children to school when the motorised boat developed a fault midway in the water around Irewe, Ojo.

He explained that the operator of the boat was trying to fix the problem as his boat stopped in the water when it rammed into the canoe despite shouts by the children.

Marinho disclosed that the captain of the motorised boat has been arrested and detained at the Railway Police Station.

He lamented that the passengers in the boat were not wearing life jackets despite the fact that the government had distributed 3,500 life jackets to boat operators.

He said the state’s 53 water terminals where all registered boats must take off, adding that no boat operator must leave the terminal without its passengers wearing life jackets.

He said there were life guards stationed in the waterways to ensure that the waterways law were obeyed.

Marinho said many canoes plying the waterways, especially those from riverine communities, were not among those to be monitored by LASWA, which was why many of them did not use life jackets.

He said government did not have enough manpower to monitor them, adding that since many people did not ply such areas, much attention was not always paid to them, but noted that government would now pay attention to monitoring them.

Marinho further disclosed that in the next few weeks, another set of 2,400 life jackets would be distributed to boat operators while another set of 1,800 would be distributed for the use of school children in riverine areas.

He stated that in the next few days, the authority would comb riverine areas of the state to take a census of school children to know the number of life jackets to be provided for them.

Marinho added that government would ensure that the use of the life jackets were monitored with appropriate sanctions meted out to violators.

General Manager, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, Dr. Femi Oke-Osanyintolu appealed to those using the waterways to always wear life jacket in order to minimise death.

Director General, Lagos Safety Commission, Odebunmi Domingo vowed that the government would enforce the law and ensure that people using the waterways always wear life jackets.
