The Only "BABA Duara" Nemesis...The only Yoruba friend I have... A da fun eeeeeeee

the only Yoruba friend you have....guy u 'wicket' rotflmfao.

Saw them this morning on my way to office.

A South African online media outfit, Mail and
Guardian Africa, came after Nigeria on Tuesday,
saying, “The money ‘eaten’ there is bigger than
the Gross Domestic Product of 38 African
nations.”
If the stolen fund it estimated at $50bn were a
country, the online medium reported, it would be
Africa’s 11th biggest economy.
“Some estimates put the ‘lost’ funds at $50bn. If
it were a country, it would be Africa’s 11th
biggest economy, at par with Tunisia’s entire
GDP and larger than the economic output of
Ghana, Tanzania, Uganda, Ivory Coast or the
Democratic Republic of Congo,” the online report
said.
It quoted a Nigeria’s transparency watchdog as
saying that the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation diverted more than $30bn oil revenue
since 2009. This figure, it said, was bigger than
the annual production output of “half of the
nations in Africa.”
Mail and Guardian Africa said the financial
shortfall caused by the theft, added to the falling
prices of oil, had put Nigeria – a country where
“about two-thirds” of the population live on less
than a dollar per day – in a financial strait.
For Nigeria’s investment in the NNPC, the report
said, the country had gained nothing but terrible
disclosure records and absence of
accountability.
“For all its importance to Nigeria, the NNPC is
largely inscrutable. It had the worst disclosure
record among 44 energy companies analysed in
a 2011 report by anti-corruption non-profit
organisations, the Transparency International and
the Revenue Watch Institute.
“The NNPC consistently denies any wrongdoing.
Allegations of missing funds go back as far as
when President Muhammadu Buhari was a
petroleum minister,” the post recalled.
While it admitted that the country’s oil sector
needed an urgent reform, the online news
organisation said history was not on the side of
Buhari’s push to split the corporation.
It described the NNPC as the largest
government-owned company, saying Buhari may
not succeed in his plan to unbundle it. Arguing
that the establishment was synonymous to
corruption, it recalled that it had faced
allegations bordering on financial frauds since
1978.
“A Lagos-based newspaper reported in 1978, a
year after the NNPC took its current name, that
the company failed to remit an equivalent of
about $3.5bn it owed the treasury. In the 1990s,
a military-sanctioned investigation discovered
that $12bn oil revenue was unaccounted for
under the regime of Gen Ibrahim Babangida
(retd.).
“The Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency
Initiative said, at least, $23.2bn due to the
government was not deposited into the
federation account from 2009 to 2011. Recently,
the then-Central Bank of Nigeria Governor,
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, alleged that the
corporation retained as much several billions of
dollars that was due to the government,” the
report said.
Back home, there is so much to read on digital
media about corruption, the pains it has inflicted
on the masses and how it could be tackled.
Recent media reports on government’s plans to
probe key past public projects and investments
merely fuelled the online discussion.
The government revealed that it was scrutinising
bank accounts where the stolen funds had been
kept. Following the statement, bloggers and
social media users have been urging government
to also look into highbrow mansions in Abuja,
Lagos, Port Harcourt and other major cities.
In recent times, several hashtags drawing
government’s attention to such houses have
been trending. The stolen money, according to
social media posts, could be hidden in houses
belonging to relatives, wives and concubines of
former public office holders.
Blogging on this on Tuesday, one Chukwudi
Enekwechi said, “Recently, a huge sum of money
was being frittered away by relations, concubines
and wife of a politician. Even more interesting is
that locations where such money is hidden are
listed online. For example, Lekki Phase 1, Ikoyi
and Victoria Island, Port Harcourt, Maitama and
Asokoro were mentioned.”

God should intervene. Yesterday it wasn't easy for me to get kerosene. Very Few filling station in Abuja now sell kerosene between N150 to N170 while open market sold N250 per litre. Has kerosene been fully deregulated ? I am concerned because it is the only petroleum product needed even in remote villages.

In the alternative I think cooking gas is cheaper and economical

Despite claims that Nigeria’s refineries are now
operational, the country will have to depend
largely on imported petrol in the third quarter of
2015.
It was learnt on Monday that import allocation
for petrol was given to importers of the product
last week.
Our correspondent gathered that no refinery had
been able to produce petrol in commercial
quantity in the past weeks, despite claims by the
operators of the facilities that they had started
refining crude oil to produce petroleum products.
In fact, senior officials of the Federal Ministry of
Petroleum Resources and the Petroleum
Products Pricing Regulatory Agency told our
correspondent in Abuja on Monday that tankers
still headed for Lagos to load products.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation last
month announced that the Port Harcourt Refining
Company was ramping up capacity to about 60
per cent of the 210,000 barrels per day of crude
capacity, while production from the Warri
Refining and Petrochemical Company had been
projected to hit 80 per cent of its installed
125,000 bpd capacity.
The Manager in charge of the Production
Programming and Quality Control, Kaduna
Refining and Petrochemicals Company, Shehu
Malami, had reportedly said that the refinery
would save about $5.33m daily for the country
when it hits 90 per cent production capacity in
the first quarter of 2016.
But officials at the petroleum ministry and the
PPPRA wondered why the refineries had yet to
churn out products, particularly petrol, if actually
they were operational as claimed.
An official at the ministry, who spoke to our
correspondent in confidence, said, “Has any of
the refineries stated the quantity of products
that they are actually churning out? It is already
known that Nigeria consumes an average of 40
million litres per day; so, if the refineries are
working, then you can now say maybe they are
producing about 20 million litres per day and you
can now subtract that from the imports.
“We need to verify if indeed they have started
churning out products, not just on paper. Just
two weeks ago, they gave letters of allocation to
importers to bring in products to meet the third
quarter consumption demand.”
In his reaction, the National President,
Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of
Nigeria, Mr. Chinedu Okoronkwo, said the
refineries were working but they had constraints
in terms of supplying products to marketers.
He said, “For now, marketers go to where they
think they can get the products easily without
problems. The refineries are working, no doubt,
but we know that the pipelines are not
functioning properly because of vandalism. We
are working with the Federal Government to see
how we can connect, especially Aba and Enugu
up to Makurdi.
“Soon, a lot of things will fall in place.
Considering what they are producing now, if the
pipelines are not in order, then they will not be
able to get products across. However, I’m sure
that the new government, being a government of
change, is working on this issue.”
Meanwhile, the daily subsidy on a litre of petrol
has dropped to N33.86 from a high of N51.61 on
June 11, 2015, pricing template by the PPPRA
showed on Monday.
The PPPRA put the landing cost of the product
at N105.37 per litre as of August 7, down from
N123.12 per litre on June 11, while the Expected
Open Market Price was N120.86 per litre,
compared to N138.61 on June 11.
Subsidy refers to the money paid, usually by the
government, to keep prices below what they will
otherwise be in a free market system.
There have been calls in some quarters urging
the Muhammadu Buhari-led government to
remove fuel subsidy, which has been described
as wasteful and prone to corruption.
Nigeria, Africa’s top oil producer, relies on
importation for most of its fuel needs as the
country’s refineries operate below installed
capacity. The sustained fall in global oil prices
has triggered the decline in the landing cost of
petrol as crude oil constitutes a major
component in the pricing template.
Last week, the global benchmark Brent crude
plunged below the $50 per barrel mark, for the
first time in six months.
Brent, against which Nigeria’s oil is priced, was
trading at $49.86 per barrel on Monday.
Analysts at Ecobank Capital including the Head
of Energy Research, Mr. Dolapo Oni, noted that
the Federal Government had decided to retain its
fuel subsidies at least for another quarter as the
PPPRA had recently selected 29 petroleum
marketers to import 1.6 million tonnes of petrol,
approximately 2.1 billion litres, for the third
quarter of the year.
They said, “The decision to retain the fuel
subsidies is particularly surprising given the
government’s fiscal position is significantly
constrained by the drop in oil prices and
difficulties in selling its crude.”
They said, going forward, the government’s
revenue and ability to sustain the fuel subsidies
could be significantly challenged by trends in the
global oil market.

Dangote's Yatch

that's Otedola's yatch Nana and not Dangote's

The news on Monday that President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the naira exchange rate of N160 to the United States dollar for Christian pilgrims is dismaying. Viewed from all sides, this is reckless and insensitive. Economically, it is subversive of efforts to revamp public finances, manage the exchange rate, inflation and conserve foreign exchange. It is exclusionary as it ignores those Nigerians who belong to neither of the two faiths they are often forced to subsidise. Nigeria is in dire economic straits; there is little or no room for misplaced priorities. Except the government denies it, the news of the concession was revealed by John Kennedy- Opara, Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Welfare Board, who said pilgrims headed for Israel this year would enjoy the lower exchange rate. “The President has approved $1 to N160 for the conventional exchange rate for this pilgrimage operation and he has also agreed that he will continue to encourage us particularly as we drive to ensure self-sustenance, to make sure that the pilgrims are able to pay for the pilgrimages removing government sponsorship,” Kennedy-Opara stated. It is wrong for Buhari, who rode to power on the back of the “Change” campaign to have fallen flat for such cheap rhetoric. Buhari’s policies should be well thought out, not unfolded at a whim. It is doubtful if he weighed the impact of the rash rebate at a time the Central Bank of Nigeria is taking radical measures to conserve foreign reserves and defend the naira. This is definitely not the change Nigerians voted for. For one of the mortal sins of Goodluck Jonathan was his addiction to pandering to narrow interests and his disdain for prudent use of resources for the higher interests of the economy. Buhari disappoints by dishing out more of the same. The insensitivity is shocking. From N156 to $1 last year, the naira exchanged at N196.95 to $1 last week at the official market and N225-N240 at the parallel market. To maintain the official rate, the CBN has had to take hard measures, including drawing from reserves, to defend the naira from a freefall. The reserves have been declining in the wake of lower crude oil prices firming at $31bn last week after dipping to $29bn two months ago. The CBN had in the last week of June, locked out importers of 41 items, including toothpicks, rice, private jets, tinned food, among other items, from the official forex market in a desperate bid to conserve reserves, “facilitate the resuscitation of domestic industries as well as generate employment.” Buhari has made nonsense of the policy by placing religious tourism above economic activities. It is even more disappointing at a time when lower earnings from crude have upturned government’s revenue projections and spending plans, from the federal to the states and local governments. A bail-out funding of N713.7bn to be shared among the three tiers was hammered out recently and will help about 24 state governments that have been unable to pay salaries. The Federal Government itself had to borrow N473bn to meet recurrent spending needs, including salaries, within the first four months of year. With public finances in such straits and the country teeming with millions of unemployed youths, the government should be conserving its resources, not frittering scarce funds on religious tourism. Buhari should walk the talk of change. Nigeria is a secular state with a multi-religious population. The 1999 Constitution clearly forbids government from promoting any faith as a state religion. In practice, successive Nigerian governments have elevated Islam and Christianity to state religions, spending vast sums from the public treasury on the two. The relief that change had come when Governor Nasir el-Rufai, Buhari’s close ally, declared that thenceforth, Kaduna State would no longer dabble into religion has evaporated with the ill- advised concessionary exchange rate for religious tourism. This government will not succeed if it fails to deliver change and instead, wastes resources on religion like its predecessors. Here is a country that has earmarked N953.62bn for debt servicing and N755bn as deficit in the N4.49bn 2015 budget, yet is set to pamper a few with forex subsidy in pursuit of religion. If the CBN was ready to sacrifice the jobs generated by importers of the 41 items that will have to source forex from the alternative market in order to defend the naira, what is the economic rationale for funding pilgrimages? Saudi Arabia is said to earn $1.6bn annually from pilgrims, while Israel boosts its economy with religious tourism, earning $3.3bn in 2009. Analysts had expected Buhari to wind down the pilgrims agencies, whose operations he had slammed as corrupt recently, not to deepen the state’s involvement in religion. The Steven Oronsaye committee had recommended scrapping the two boards. The enormity of the challenges facing the country demands a hands-on approach, a sustained resolve to cut costs, end impunity and detach the state from things better left to individuals and groups, especially divisive ventures such as religion. Health care, education and infrastructure are in disrepair and require creative thinking to raise funding for them. But religion is a private matter; those who seek to visit religious foreign sites should make their own arrangements while the state restricts itself to providing consular services. The approval is arbitrary and ill-advised. It should be reversed.

A serving police sergeant serving with the Area
‘A’ Police Command, Lion Building, Campbell,
Lagos State, Joseph Okweke, has been arrested
for leading a notorious armed robbery gang »
that has been terrorising residents of the state.
It was gathered that Sergeant Okweke, who
hails from Obuluku in Delta State, used to wear
his uniform and gave out guns and ammunitions
to his gang whenever they went to rob.
He told investigators that the sight of his
uniform used to make people to lower their
guards, making it easy for him and his men to
swoop on them.
The five-man- gang of robbers » , which
specialised in attacking ware houses and tying
up security guards, were busted after they went
for their last operation at Ogudu area of the
state.
While two members of the gang escaped,
Okweke and other two were arrested. The two
had been identified as Gbenga and Orobo.
Orobo is a dismissed army officer who had
refused to reveal why he was kicked out of the
army.
The men were arrested by security guards
attached to a company they went to rob and
handed over to officers at the Ogudu Police
Station. While being interrogated, Okweke said
he had been robbing with his uniform for over
five years.

At the fullness of time

Nollywood mass producing since 1800 BC...

(CNN)— They used to be the preserve of
informal home gatherings around old flickering
TV sets, but Nollywood films have now gone
global.
Movie streaming giant Netflix has dedicated an
entire section to Nigeria's mega film industry,
so rather than having to buy a DVD, viewers
around the world can now get their fix of
Nigerian drama straight to their computer
screens -- Nollywood is notorious for churning
out hundreds of movies per month, capturing
viewers with stories ranging from romance and
drama to comedy and witchcraft.
iROKOtv, a Nigerian online platform for on-
demand films , already streams home-grown
movies to the diaspora around the world, but
with 25% of Nigerians predicted to access the
internet via their mobile phone by 2018, the
home market is expected to grow too.

Movie star power

Befitting the mammoth industry that Nollywood
is, its glamorous movie stars are revered in the
country as any Hollywood A-listers would be.
Shown above are four of Nigerian film's most
recognizable faces.
Ramsey Nouah stumbled into the film industry
almost by accident. He was looking for funds to
cover his school fees when a friend suggested
he tried acting. Some 25 years later, Nouah is
today one of Nollywood most prolific stars.
Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde , heralded as the queen
of Nollywood, has appeared in around 300 films
since her debut in 1995. Her allure earned her
the nickname of "Omosexy," while two years
ago she was named one of the top 100
influential people in the world by Time
Magazine.
Jeta Amata comes from a family of Nollywood
stars, so it was perhaps not surprising that he
became one of Nigeria's most prominent film
directors. He is often praised for the high
production values and strong narratives of his
movies, and has worked with both Nollywood
and Hollywood famous stars, including Mickey
Rourke and Kim Basinger.
Genevieve Nnaji, dubbed the "Julia Roberts of
Nollywood," has been acting since the age of
eight and has won the 2005 African Academy
Movie Award for Best Actress.

High output, low profit

Nigeria's film industry pumps out around 50
movies per week and is estimated to generate
around $600 million annually for the country's
economy. With more than 1,200 films a year, it's
the world's second biggest producer behind
India. Nollywood is also Nigeria's second
biggest provider of work, employing directly or
indirectly more than one million people,
according to the United States International
Trade Commission.
However, films are typically low-budget and
revenues are small. One of the highest grossing
Nollywood film so far is thought to be "Ije: The
journey" , which generated $500,000 when it was
released in 2010. It stars two of Nollywood's
biggest stars, Genevieve Nnaji and Omotola
Jalade-Ekeinde as sisters fighting for justice.

Search of excellence

In recent years, a new wave of filmmakers who
want to shake off Nollywood's reputation for
shoddy productions is emerging. Dubbed the
New Nigeria cinema, these young professionals
want to create a movie industry which can
compete with Hollywood -- not just in quantity
but also quality.
Actor Wale Ojo, one of the biggest supporters of
the movement, told CNN: "New Nigeria Cinema
basically means an elevation of Nigerian film --
high production values, good strong narratives,
stories that capture the essence of who we are
as Nigerians, as Africans.
"And it means also that these films can be
shown at international film festivals anywhere in
the world, from Toronto to Cannes to Venice."

The Labour Party has flayed state governors for
blackmailing President Muhammadu Buhari to
release over N700bn bailout to them, saying the
action set a bad precedent and will encourage
governors to steal more.
The LP National Chairman, Alhaji Abdukadir
Abdulsalam, told journalists in Abuja that the
disadvantages of the bailout far outweighed its
benefits.
He said, “This over N700bn released by the
President for the bailout belongs to Nigerians.
Although it is good that workers will get their
salaries, but the bailout has created a bad
precedent. Such an action is tantamount to
illegality.
“Buhari came with the promise of change, but it
seems the President has not learnt from the
mistakes of previous administrations because
what is happening now was what happened
during the administration of former President
Olusegun Obasanjo when the state governors
prevailed on him to bastardise the local
government system and local government funds
were diverted to personal use of the governors.
“For how long will Buhari continue to bail out
the states to pay workers’ salaries? It will be
difficult for the President to prevent many of
the governors from mismanaging the funds
since they know that even when they are
caught, they have plea bargain and that the
alleged offence is bailable.”
Abdulsalam added that when former President
Goodluck Jonathan assumed office, the
governors also deceived him to carry out certain
policies and projects, “but at the end
disappointed him.”
He said, “Buhari has fallen into their trap; they
must have deceived him that they used money
meant for workers’ salaries to campaign for him
and his party and that he must now save them.
But unfortunately, Buhari has spent over N3trn
without appropriation or recourse to other
considerations.
“The government claimed the bailout were
loans; but under what conditions were the loans
given? What is the mode and processes of the
repayment? In this regard, the President has
started on a very bad note, this is unfortunate
and we are going to suffer for it.”

The Super Eagles were expected to host the
Pharaohs of Egypt in the northern city next
March but the current security situation could
cause a change to that decision
Jul 7, 2015 17:36:54

In the space of two weeks after the Nigerian
government issued an order dismantling military
check points across the country, more than two
hundred lives have been lost to bomb attacks by
members of the notorious Boko Haram jihadist
group.
These attacks have all happened in the north of
the country with major cities Maiduguri, Kano,
Jos and Zaria being hit.
On Tuesday, a bomb attack in Zaria left at least
25 people dead.
Zaria is about 78km from Kaduna, venue of the
2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match
between Nigeria and Egypt.
Security came into the news last month when
Super Eagles captain Vincent Enyeama voiced
concerns about the safety of players and fans
ahead of the opening qualifier against Chad in
Kaduna, a city that had been attacked in the
past.
However, the Nigeria Football Federation insisted
that the city was safe and that everything would
be made to secure players and fans at the
stadium.
That game ended without an incident except for
a few unruly fans who invaded the pitch during
goal celebrations as Nigeria won 2-0.
Afterwards, the NFF queried Enyeama and asked
the goalkeeper to appear before a disciplinary
committee hearing for the “uncomplimentary
remarks with regards to safety and security” he
made.
In a later release, the NFF refused to address
the security concerns, insisting that the Super
Eagles would take on the Pharaohs in Kaduna on
March 23, 2016, after their next game away to
Tanzania in September.
However, with the recent return of violence to
the North during the holy month of Ramadan, a
lot of questions are being asked of the NFF.
It seems that the organization is yet to have a
discussion about the possibility of shifting the
game to a safer part of the country as Goal tried
to reach officials on Tuesday afternoon.
“No, no, no I will not talk on that one, I will not
talk on that one,” said NFF general secretary Dr.
Mohammed Sanusi, before hanging up the line
when Goal called him for the federation’s
decision.
A text message to NFF president Amaju Pinnick
did not get a response by the time of publishing
this report.
Neither did NFF spokesman Ademola Olajire pick
the calls made to his mobile phone.
It is not yet known what the response of the
Egyptian team as well as the Confederation of
African Football would be to these recent
attacks.
However, officials would feel there is still a long
time away from making the final decision.

In spite of the spike in attacks by the violent
Boko Haram sect in the north-east, the Federal
Government has said it is winning the terrorism
war.
The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, Amb. Bulus Lolo, told journalists
on Saturday in Abuja that President Muhammad
Buhari has mapped out a regional security
strategy in collaboration with Chad, Niger and
Cameroun to end Boko Haram attacks.
According to him, Buhari’s recent visit to Chad,
Niger and Cameroun was to strategise not only
on military option but to explore others
measures that could be adopted to address the
fundamental causes of the insurgency in order
to find a final solution to the problem.
“Thus the governments of these countries have
agreed that they will meet military option with
economic, social and supportive measures that
will also bring succour to the people; with the
strategies being put in place, the war against
terrorism will be won soon because we are
closing in on Boko Haram,” Lolo stated.
He said that the President’s visits to Germany
and South Africa for the G7 and the African
Union Summits respectively were fruitful in the
sense that it provided Nigeria with a wider
initiative to resolve some of the challenges
confronting it.
Lolo explained the President’s resolve to tackle
corruption and unemployment which he said are
linked to insecurity, adding that Buhari’s
commitment to the war against corruption was
well articulated.
He stressed that the international community
perceived Buhari as having the credentials for
“scrupulous honesty and the pedigree as an
incorruptible leader,” noting that it is an
endorsement that Nigerians should be proud of
and a sign of hope that the nation has stepped
forward again under the Buhari administration.
The Permanent Secretary while fielding
questions from reporters, noted that economic
diplomacy remains the cardinal objective of the
government, stressing that the government
would bring the enormous expertise in the
country to bear as well as mobilise both human
and financial resources to make sure that the
foreign policy objective of Nigeria is realised by
the present administration

The Nigeria Football Federation has terminated
the appointment of Stephen Keshi as Head
Coach of the Senior National Football Team,
Super Eagles.
A statement by the NFF Executive Committee
on Saturday said this decision was made,
“having thoroughly reviewed the reports/findings
of the NFF Disciplinary Committee and NFF
Technical and Development Committee, as well
as having reviewed the actions and inactions of
Mr. Stephen Keshi, in the performance of his
duties as Super Eagles’ Head Coach, which we
found to lack the required commitment to
achieve the Federation’s objectives as set out
in the Coach’s employment contract.”
The statement further read, “To this end and
pursuant to the provisions of Clause 4.3 of the
Employment Contract between Mr. Stephen
Keshi and the NFF (the contract) and the
various clauses therein, the Nigeria Football
Federation has decided to exercise its option to
summarily terminate the employment contract
of Mr. Stephen Keshi with the Federation with
immediate effect.”
It added that the termination was “without
prejudice to the settlement of any existing and
due financial obligations between the NFF and
Mr. Keshi.”
NFF 1st Vice President, Barrister Seyi
Akinwunmi, speaking on behalf of the entire
Executive Committee of NFF, assured Nigerians
that the decision was not taken lightly or with
any prejudice, but in the ultimate interest of
Nigeria football. He thanked Mr. Keshi for his
services to the country and wished him the very
best in his future endeavours.
“In the interim, the Super Eagles’ team affairs
will be jointly managed by Assistant Coach,
Salisu Yusuf and the Technical Directorate of
the NFF headed by Coach Shuaibu Amodu, until
the Federation names in due course a new
Head Coach, who, along with the NFF will chart
a new direction for the Super Eagles to ensure
credible participation in international
competitions and assist in building a sustainable
football culture for the country,” said
Akinwunmi.

A police officer, Mr Jerome Eze who was
dismissed from service for no just cause has
asked the National Industrial Court (NIC) to
send the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria,
Mr Godwin Emefiele and the Permanent
Secretary, Ministry of Finance to prison for
refusing to pay to him from the police account,
a judgment sum of N67 million.
After securing a judgment against the police for
unlawful dismissal, Eze proceeded to garnishee
the police account with the CBN.
The court granted the garnishee order nisi and
later made it absolute.
The court ordered the CBN Governor and the
Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Finance to pay
Eze
They were ordered to pay Eze over N67 million
for wrongful termination of his appointment as a
police officer without due process, loss of
earning and the insults heaped on him.
When they did not, Form 48 (Notice of
Consequences of Disobedience to Court Order)
made pursuant to Order ix, Rule 13 of the court
was issued against them.
Failure to comply with the judgment in the
matter makes Emefiele and the permanent
secretary "guilty of contempt of court and will
be liable to be committed to prison".
Eze, a police officer of the rank of Deputy
Superintendent of Police (DSP), with Force No:
AP11718 in suite no: NINC/ABJ/CV/309/2012
filed a petition against a dismissal letter
P11718/FS/15 signed by the Inspector-General
of Police (IGP) "though the letter did not
disclose any offence".
