The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has described the call by Lagos Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the Code of Conduct Tribunal to re-open the case against the National leader of APC and former Lagos Governor, Bola Tinubu as an attempt to tarnish Tinubu’s image. Lagos State Publicity Secretary of the APC, Joe Igbokwe, in a statement, yesterday, said APC viewed the call “as silly rants of frustrated losers desperately splashing mud to tar others when they are facing weighty corruption cases.” According to APC the trial which happened during former President Goodluck Jonathan’s led government and instigated by PDP; “Lagos PDP and indeed the entire PDP are suffering acute Tinubu-phobia borne out of the fact that Asiwaju Tinubu constitutes the greatest nightmare for PDP rank and file given his prosecution of the defeat of the PDP last year.” APC, also described Lagos PDP as a spent gathering of losers facing indictment for their role in the monumental corruption that marked the woeful PDP governance in the country.

Theophilus Danjuma, a retired army general and former defence minister, is one of Nigeria’s richest personalities, courtesy of his ownership of one of Nigeria’s most lucrative oil blocs and a money spinning shipping firm.

The retired general is a long time user of offshore entities, and the Mossac Fonseca files has now exposed another of his companies – Eastcoast Investments Inc – which he incorporated in Nassau, in the Bahamas, on March 25, 1997.

At inception, Mr. Danjuma and a certain Colin Marcel Dixon were directors of the company.

PREMIUM TIMES learnt that the general formed the company to enable him to do business with Scancem International of Norway when the later decided to expand its involvement in Africa to include a project in Nigeria.

But the company soon became embroiled in a messy bribery scandal, with Scancem, according to court papers, later buying out Eastcoast Investment from the project on December 1, 2003.

It was later determined that “the money went mainly to another account, Eastcoast Investment had, to General T.Y. Danjuma and a certain The Volta Company”.

As the controversy raged, Mr. Danjuma resigned as director of the company, but we did not sight any document indicating that he transferred his shareholding to anyone.

A certain Satish Chander Dosaj, who later died, replaced him. On his death, Elizabeth Dixon, believed to be Mr. Dixon’s wife, was brought in as director.

But even before incorporating Eastcoast as a special purpose vehicle to do business with Scancem, Mr. Danjuma had used several offshore entities in the past, mostly registered in tax havens.

The database, Opencorporates, indicate that Mr. Danjuma served as director and vice-president of Cross Group Holdings International, which was registered in Panama on October 15, 1976.

Mr. Danjuma was still in service and was Chief of Army Staff at the time the company was incorporated. He was also director of Zara Logistics, a company registered in Cyprus on September 2, 1993.

It remains unclear what businesses Mr. Danjuma used the companies to transact.

The retired general was also among global personalities found to maintain secret accounts, operated with codes, with the Swiss branch of banking giant, HSBC.

He was linked to HSBC account 15731CD, which was opened in 1993 and closed in 2001.

That revelation came to during the February 2015 #Swissleaks investigation which exposed some of Nigeria’s wealthiest industrialists, former government officials and their relatives, among thousands of individuals around the world who operated highly secretive foreign accounts with HSB​C, concealing their identities for years and using codes perhaps to shake off tax authorities from accounts.

Some of the accounts were found to hold illicit assets from criminals, traffickers, arms dealers and other outlaws, secret files published last week by a consortium of journalists around the world have shown.

That trove of documents, released by the French Daily, Le Monde and ICIJ, in partnership with PREMIUM TIMES, and a host of other major media organisations around the world, showed how HSBC profited doing business with people who stole from their countries and some of the world’s most notorious con artists, including people who made a fortune fuelling wars in Africa.

PREMIUM TIMES was also the only Nigerian publication involved in that investigation, which lasted several months between 2014 and 2015.

The documents seen by this newspaper at the time did not provide details regarding the balances in the account and the use to which Mr. Danjuma put it.

An elaborate bribery and corruption Scheme

Court documents obtained by PREMIUM TIMES independently of the leaked Mossac Fonseca files described Scancem, Mr. Danjuma’s business partner, as being “involved in extensive bribery and corruption in a number of countries in Africa”.

The company’s elaborate bribery operation in the continent was supervised and coordinated by the head of its Africa business, Tor Egil Kjelsaas, who also had a warm relationship with the retired general and his company.

It was revealed that sometimes, Mr Kjelsaas withdrew cash from banks in London and Luxembourg and flew with it to bribe local contacts in Africa, especially in Ghana.

Some of the monies were handed over to local contacts in envelopes while others were transferred to accounts in Luxembourg, Switzerland and other places.

But while Mr Kjelsaas was helping to coordinate Scancem bribery operation across Africa, he was alleged to have kept some of the bribe money for himself.

The document also revealed how Messrs. Danjuma, Kjelsaas and Dixon, who himself was an employee of Scancem, allegedly collaborated to obtain a $3.2 million buyout from Scancem.

Scancem operations in Nigeria started in 1997 but was short-lived because the company incurred huge losses which the court blamed on Mr. Kjelsaas, who left the company in 1999 but was retained as a consultant until 2001 and was involved in the company’s operation at the time.

“Kjelsaas drained Scancem’s involvement in Nigeria of significant funds,” the court revealed.

Due to the huge losses, Scancem opted to walk out from the Nigerian operations, but its contract with Eastcoast, which was signed under Mr. Kjelsaas’ management, required it to pay out a significant sum to Eastcoast before it could exit the partnership. If Scancem had taken this option, its losses would have been very significant. So, it decided to buy out Eastcoast’s shares in the business.

In July 2003, before buying out Eastcoast, Scancem hired Hibis, a private investigative company to make enquiries about the ownership of Eastcoast, the company discovered that “most of the commission moneys paid to Eastcoast went toMr. Dixon and a company, Tormead Ltd.

Further investigation showed that Mr Kjelsaas was the real owner of Tormean Ltd. According to court documents, $190,000.00 was transferred to Tormead Ltd from the contractual commission paid to Eastcoast.

On December 1, 2003, Scancem bought out Eastcoast for $3.2 million. Once the money was paid, most of it was transferred to another account operated by Eastcoast, some to Mr. Danjuma, while $790,000.00 was transferred to The Volta Company, a firm believed to be linked with Mr Kjelsaas.

Mr. Danjuma did not answer calls made by PREMIUM TIMES to his known mobile number. Neither did he respond to text messages seeking comments for this story. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/201308-panamapapers-general-theophilus-danjumas-offshore-companies-secret-account-exposed.html

My husband and I are happy in our marriage. We have two little girls and a satisfactory sex life. Love Lately however, I’ve found myself fantasizing about other men, particularly my husband’s closest friend. He’s recently been separated from his wife and I find myself thinking about him all the time. I even become jealous when he talks about women he fancies. Is this a symptom of deeper problems in my marriage? I’m thinking of having a bite of this particular forbidden fruit! Yinka,by e-mail. Dear Yinka, Your wondering eyes are not at all unusual, it is completely normal. As a matter of fact, the most virtuous, faithful, pure-minded woman can’t control her thought and lust all of the time because part of a woman’s make-up is a very strong sex drive. Don’t, under any circumstance, let guilt pressure you into irrational, possibly damaging actions, including your jumping into bed with this man simply because you find him sexually appetizing! Whatever you do, don’t tell your husband about your attraction to other men or give him any reason to suspect you’re lusting after one. It would be irksome to both of you if he became anxious or jealous because of your revelations. It would certainly disrupt his relationship with his friend. Any flirting between you and your husband’s friend must be kept under control. It is natural for you to warm to him and enjoy his affection, but know where to draw the line. Warmth between two people does not have to end in sex.

In a twist of fate that could yet bring succour to Nigeria and Tanzania, the Chadian Football Federation has rescinded its decision to withdraw from the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers if Caf would accept it back.

The Chadians announced this news via their official website on Thursday evening, four days after they threw Group G into disarray with their decision to drop out of qualifying due to financial constraints.

Looking at the financial implications of withdrawing which has attracted a $20,000 fine from Caf, the Chad federation said it thought it wise to remain in the competition rather than spend the money on a fine.

“We will return to qualifying and we regret any logistics problems that this might have caused Caf, our fellow group opponents and our fans,” a statement from the general secretary of the Chadian Football Federation, Amadou Keita Chaibou, read.

“It is our hope that this return will help us avoid more sanctions seeing that our poor country cannot afford to pay $20,000 when we claim not to have money for flights and accommodation.

“We also hope that it would not affect our plans to qualify for the World Cup in 2018 so we have returned like prodigal sons wishing that Caf will accept our plea.”

However, the decision on whether to accept Chad back to the competition would be made by the Caf Competitions Board in the next few hours.

It is good news for Nigeria and Tanzania who had given up on qualifying for Gabon 2017 due to the soar away success of the resurgent Egyptians.

Now, any one of the two sides could still garner enough points to finish in second place and with points high enough to see them through to Afcon 2017 as one of two best second-placed sides.

Happy April 1st! http://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/4065/africa/2016/04/01/21885582/renewed-hope-for-nigeria-tanzania-as-chad-rescind-decision?ICID=HP_BN_2
