– Cult clash in Ikorodu causes residents to panic

– Reports say more than six people have lost their lives

– Residents are warned not to leave their homes for safety reasons

There is serious panic in Ikorodu, a suburb of Lagos, as residents of Adamo, Mojoda, Arora and Ipoyewa are being terrorised by rival cult groups.

In a telephone conversation with one of the residents, it was gathered that a fight ensued between the and Eiye confraternity groups on Wednesday, July 5, leaving more than six people dead in the process.

The woman who pleaded anonymity also said that people have been restricted from leaving the confines of their homes by members of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and vigilante groups in the area.

According to her, some group of persons suspected to be members of the cult were dressed in all black and each of them carried machetes.

The reason for the clash, it was also revealed, was that the group wanted to get even after the other cult group killed many of their members during a recent clash.

This is not the first time that violence has been reported in Ikorodu and its environs as some alleged Niger Delta militants last month, unleashed terror to landlords in area, killing over 30 people, leaving many others injured.

Now everyone in naija is experiencing better delivery of power to their various homes and nobody is commending the efforts of the ministry in charge. But once there is no light for some days to weeks, we are so quick to come online and bad mouth the same ministry without considering the factors that are hindering the delivery of ascribed service.

It is just unfortunate that humanity had descended to the point where out of jealousy we don't do the right thing anymore.

GOD bless Nigeria and her people.

They do that because the know they won't get anything in return. Unlike women that will give them pleasure. Guys also view women as dependent creatures that need money constantly.

Following the revelation by Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose on the involvement of Buhari’s wife in the Halliburton scandal, APC on June 27th announced that the First Lady would travel to USA today, June 30 to attend the World First Ladies Conference holding at Colorado USA.

Information just coming in indicates that the First Lady has canceled the proposed visit

EFCC has all it needs to prosecute Atiku, Aisha Buhari, Kachikwu, others – U.S

The Haliburton scandal involving prominent Nigerians and disgraced congressman Williams J. Jefferson, is still a hot topic

– The United States has said the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has all it needs to prosecute all those implicated in the scandal including

– Wife of the president, Mrs Aisha Buhari and former vice president, Atiku Abubakar are one of those mentioned in the scandal

A report by Point Blank news has revealed that the United States of America has furnished the EFCC with all the details it needs to prosecute implicated Nigerians in the Halliburton scandal.

According to the report, Peter Carr, spokesman of the DOJ confirmed the sentencing memo of Jefferson which indicted Mrs Buhari, Atiku and others but declined to speak further on the issue in an email.

Wife of the president, Hajiya Aisha Buhari’s name has featured in the Halliburton scandal time and again.

A source in DOJ also squealed that because Jefferson is currently appealing some of his convictions, DOJ may not want to comment further on the matter.
Meanwhile, the sentencing memorandum obtained from the U.S District Court Eastern District of Virginia listed as exhibit, a wire transfer to congressman Jefferson from an account owned by Mrs Buhari.

US Congressman William Jefferson is currently in jail for the Halliburton scandal

A 16-count indictment, returned by a federal grand jury in Alexandria, charged Jefferson with solicitation of bribes from Nigeria and other places, honest services wire fraud, money laundering, obstruction of justice, violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, racketeering, and conspiracy.

The indictment alleges that from in or about August 2000 through in or about August 2005, Jefferson, while serving as an elected member of the U.S. House of Representatives, used his position and his office to corruptly seek, solicit and direct that things of value be paid to Jefferson and his family members in exchange for his performance of official acts to advance the interests of people and businesses who offered him the bribes.

The U.S Justice Department had at the time requested the EFCC through a letter dated June 22, 2006 to investigate Mrs Buhari and several others linked with bribing congressman Jefferson.

Mrs Buhari, Atiku Abubakar, Dumebi Kachikwu (brother to current minister of petroleum, Ibe, Otunba Fashawe (close associate of former President Olusegun Obasanjo), Aliyu Maigari and others were named in a long chain of Nigerian and American bribe takers that spirited about $45 million—for a technology transfer deal—to the US between 1996 and 2002.

Atiku, chairing of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF), then, was, alongside congressman Jefferson, Siemens, Halliburton, and others, indicted in a U.S. Senate report sent to the EFCC for investigation in 2006.

The U.S Senate report, FBI reports and U.S Court papers on the allegations have remained with the EFCC as the anti-graft agency appears to have developed cold feet in prosecuting the Nigerians involved.

Among other things, U.S Investigators had in 2006 asked the EFCC to investigate bank records of accounts managed by Mrs Buhari. They specifically asked that the bank records should include documents relating to any wire transfers of $10,000 or more.

Jefferson is currently serving jail time in the US,while those linked to his crime are still being sort after for questioning especially in Nigeria.

A source confirmed that while Kachikwu had offered to testify against Jefferson, Mrs Buhari stayed away from the FBI probe and has also stayed away from the U.S.

Interestingly, since President Muhammadu Buhari was elected as Nigeria’s leader, Mrs Buhari has never followed him to his numerous U.S trips.

The U.S Senate report, FBI reports and U.S Court papers on the allegations have remained in the coolers of the EFCC as the agency appears to be lacking the political will to carrying on the prosecution.
