Buhari will remain the most pro-corruption crusader of all time in the history of Nigeria.

His antecedents are still much close by.

drshrewd:
how about others? how about the huge money that where found in their account.

at least there are concrete proof to back up the accusation meted on them by the DSS. It is left for them to prove their innocence in the court of law unlike the verbal way they are currently accusing the transport minister without any concrete evidence

You are just jumping from on commentating invohenremt comments.

So you agree that DSS actually plant those money. Fine that you agree, let EFCC come to disvclaim this.

@OP lie muhhamed must be your brother

robosky02:
is the EFCC

not hearing the allegations why no questioning

mikron, TonyeBarcanista, Truckpusher, temitemi1, KingTom, rokiatu, Ajibel, Seun, ireneony,

You want to hear how PMB election was funded.

PMB Is not ready for that right now. He's still fighting kwuruftion

News reaching out is that Appeal court restrains lnec from replacing or tampering with Eyitayo Jegedes name on their list.

More details coming soon

Eight days after operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, raided their homes, Justices Nnamdi Dimgba and Adeniyi Ademola, yesterday, resumed sitting at the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court. This came on a day the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, began interrogation of two Federal High Court judges, Mohammed Nasir Yunusa and Hyeladzira Ajiya, accused of corruptly enriching themselves in the course of their duty.

However, Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Professor Itse Sagay, said corruption in the judiciary was worse than crimes against humanity, noting that as custodians of hope of the last man, judicial officers could not afford to be corrupt.

The DSS had in the process of a “sting operation” it conducted between October 8 and 9, ransacked the Abuja homes of both judges. The said operation had resulted in the arrest and detention of seven superior court judges, among whom were two Justices of the Supreme Court — Inyang Okoro and Sylvester Ngwuta. Though Justice Ademola was among judges arrested and subsequently granted administrative bail,

Justice Dimgba was freed after his house situated at the Apo Legislative Quarters was thoroughly searched by security operatives, who allegedly carted away several documents, including drafts of yet-to-be-delivered judgements. Since the incident occurred, the two judges have not sat to preside over cases pending before their respective courts until yesterday.

Whereas Justice Ademola sat at Court 7, his counterpart, Justice Dimgba presided over matters at Court 11. Justice Ademola, who sat for close to two hours, attended to 12 cases, with two of them pending cases against the DSS. Specifically, the two cases were fundamental rights enforcement applications by persons currently held in DSS custody. While the first suit marked CS/518/2016 was filed by one Olusegun Komolafe, with the Director-General of the DSS and another as respondents, the second suit, marked: CS/498/2016, was also lodged against the DSS by one Engr Chidiebere Onwudiwe.

Hearings in both matters were stalled by failure of the DSS to send any legal representation before Justice Ademola. Consequently, the judge deferred hearing in the suits after he ordered that fresh hearing notices should be served on the DSS.

Both Justices Dimgba and Ademola are currently awaiting the nod of the National Judicial Council, NJC, to drag the DSS to court over the “illegal invasion” of their homes, which they said amounted to gross violation of their constitutional rights. Among cases Justice Dimgba heard, yesterday, was a suit by a governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ondo State, Mr. Olusegun Abraham.

The judge, in a bench ruling, ordered the service of all the relevant court processes, on APC National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun and the party’s purported governorship candidate, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu via substituted means. The order followed an application by counsel to the plaintiff, Professor Yemi Akinseye-George (SAN), who complained that his client found it difficult to serve the respondents personally.

The suit is, among others, challenging the competence of the governorship primary election the APC held in Ondo State on September 3. The plaintiff, who raised eight questions for determination, is praying the court to among others, declare that the primary was held in violation of provisions of the APC’s Electoral Guidelines for Governorship primary election 2014.

He said the primary also flouted the party’s constitution and was, therefore, invalid and incapable of validly producing Akeredolu as a candidate. He also seeks an order setting aside the primary for alleged non-compliance with provisions of the party’s primary election guidelines and constitution. Abraham, who emerged second in the primary, equally wants the court to set aside the purported submission of Akeredolu’s name to INEC by Odigie-Oyegun and the electoral body’s acceptance of the name as the APC’s candidate for the forthcoming governorship election.

He also sought an order compelling INEC to extend time within which the APC could conduct a fresh primary based “on the congress and congress appeal committee’s delegates’ list 2014 and in compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act, the constitution of the APC, the party’s electoral guidelines 2014 and the 1999 Constitution, as amended.”

Two Federal High Court judges quizzed

The two Federal High Court judges, Mohammed Nasir Yunusa and Hyeladzira Ajiya Nganjiwa, were summoned to the Lagos Office of the EFCC, where they were being quizzed by top operatives. According to information available to Vanguard, the two men arrived EFCC’s office around 10.05 am and were immediately ushered into their interrogation room.

“Their invitation is sequel to the bribery and money laundering allegations the commission discovered during investigations in an ongoing case in which two senior lawyers had been arraigned in court.

Please who are him cabals the wife is referring to. Her silence in those cabals will not solve him prblems on ground

dasauce:
Mr Lalasticlala.. Let's collectively shame some IPOD youth. .

12. You forget to add that it is the same jonathan that is about to scatter the first Family in Nigeria.

13. That it is Jonathan that said DSS should raid Judges house with Magistrate of Northen state Nigeria search warrant signed by anonymous.

We want to hear how you will solve
1. Nigeria economic problems
2. How our naira will be stabilized.
3. How economy will be diversified.
4. Other numerous challenges facing this great country.

All these distractions are unneccessary.

so many shallow and illogical minds on here now.. just so sad

Nomatter how, when or what happen before, during or after.
Making such insane statement in front of a FEMALE PRESIDENT is uncultured

flokii:
Aisha didn't insult her husband na, she only stated her fears.. which one is where does she belong? you want her to be in GEJ's bed in otueke or where exactly?

@OP you better calm down, GEJ is gone, a Northerner will run for PDP in 2019 with a possible SW (king makers) VP to win hearts of d yorubas.. They know SS & SE won't have option than to vote out of hate they have for APC and Buhari

Take things easy, for all we know the President might be joking, a sane man won't say that in all seriousness in front of a "female" like his wife.

Joking you mean. He can as well tell the Germany president she is not worthy to be President jokinly

Making such shameful comment in front of a FEMALE PRESIDENT is very very uncharitable.

An old Man should be of wisdom but this speech from the president hold no wisdom at all

endent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has confirmed that John Ola Mafo will be the Deputy Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State.


A source at the commission's office who pleaded anonymity confirmed this to a SaharaReporters correspondent in Akure on Tuesday night.

The source said the name of Mr. Ola Mafo was forwarded to the office of the Administrative Secretary of INEC and has been confirmed by the staff of the office at the Ondo State Headquarters.

"Yes, it is true that we received the name of Prince John Ola Mafo as the Deputy Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State,” the source stated. “Mr. Ola Mafo will serve as the main running mate of Barrister Eyitayo Jegede, who has been chosen as the Governorship candidate of the PDP ahead of the November 26 governorship poll.”

Banji Okunomo, the Spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State, said the decision to pick Mr. Ola Mafo was sealed by the party's highest decision-making body.

Mr. Okunomo disclosed that Mr. Ola Mafo's choice was also considered after several factors that could lead to victory for the party in the forthcoming poll were reached.

"At the highest decision-making body of the Ondo State Peoples Democratic Party today, the PDP resolved on the choice of John Ola Mafo as the Deputy Governorship candidate of the party. The party took this far-reaching decision after considering all factors that would lead to its victory at the poll.

"The party weighed a number of options, including the credentials of Ola Mafo which ranged from being a former Chairman of Ilaje local government area of Ondo State and former Commissioner for Information in Ondo State.

"Ola Mafo was also a former Special Adviser to Governor Mimiko and until his nomination, he was the Chairman of the Ondo State Football Association (ODSFA). He is also a founding member of the PDP, a veteran politician from the Southern senatorial district, particularly Ilaje local government, and a native of Zion Pepe," he said.

Mr. Okunomo also told SaharaReporters in a phone interview that the campaign of the ruling PDP would now begin with an Jegede-Mafo governorship ticket.

INEC has set this month of October as the deadline for the replacement governorship candidates.

The new found passion of The Super Eagle will surelly take them to New height.

Lalasticlacla what sayest thou.

CC: semid4lyfe, honeric01

Captain Mikel John Obi said on Sunday that a united and focused Super Eagles, and a supportive Nigeria Football Federation, will guarantee the three –time African champions a place at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals.

The Chelsea midfield ace told thenff.com aboard the ARIK Air plane on the flight back from Ndola that team solidarity and the maturity of the technical crew have forged a new spirit in camp, and that the victory over Zambia at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium on Sunday that has propelled the Super Eagles to the top of the so –called ‘Group of Death’ is the beginning of great things to come.



“I have belief that we can reach new heights with this team. The boys are so committed that it makes you happy. The coaching crew is made up of very matured and brilliant people who respect the players. We are onto a good thing.”

Nigeria won a competitive away game for the first time in 23 months as Alex Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho scored before Collins Mbesuma pulled one back in the Zambian Copperbelt capital.

Manchester City of England prodigy Iheanacho has now scored in each of his last four matches for Nigeria: against Mali in France; Luxembourg in Luxembourg City; Tanzania in Uyo and; Zambia in Ndola.

A convivial atmosphere prevailed inside the aircraft during the 4 hour-and-22-minute flight back to Abuja, and the celebration mood heightened seconds after landing as players, team officials and other officials learnt that Cameroon’s Indomitable Lions had forced Algeria to a 1-1 draw in the other match of Group B in Blida.

“We have a very good chance to qualify for the World Cup if we keep our heads and play at our best level. Each and every one of us is determined to go to the World Cup. Now that we are top of the table, we have to remain there.”

The Zambians had hoped to get Nigeria’s Europe –based contingent rendered weak and dehydrated with an early afternoon start (2.30pm), but the Eagles approached the match in a matured manner, not engaging in too much running in the first half-hour, and then taking their chances without blinking.

At Saturday’s match coordination meeting, the NFF had requested for water break periods in view of the early start, and the match commissioner, Alhaji Nuru Deen Jawula from Ghana, said he would think about it. Eventually, it was not that necessary, as the Eagles coped well and thwarted the Chipolopolo in front of their fans.

A friend who works with the Football Association of Zambia informed thenff.com that 50,000 spectators must have squeezed into the 43,000 –capacity Levy Mwanawasa Stadium. And with President Edgar Chagwa Lungu (said to be a great fan of Eagles’ captain Mikel Obi and assistant captain Ahmed Musa) arriving a full hour before kick off, the arena vibrated endlessly.

The quintet of goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene, Stopilla Sunzu, Nathan Sinkala, Rainford Kalaba and Collins Mbesuma were familiar faces in the Zambian starting line-up. But Fwayo Tembo, Chisamba Lungu and Winston Kalengo are also known to be tough customers.

They tried to run hard and wear the Eagles down in the 35 -degree heat, but after surviving the first half-hour, the Nigerian attack stepped up a gear and scored two brilliant goals in 10 minutes.

Indeed, the Chipolopolo created more chances, and would not forgive Eagles’ goalie Carl Ikeme for denying them so many times. As early as the second minute, Ikeme pushed onto the crossbar a shot from Tembo, and went on to make eight excellent saves including stopping two close range bullet headers. In fact, skipper Kalaba thought he had equalized in the 40th minute, after meeting a pull out by Sinkala with a firm header, only for Ikeme to block.

With the job seemingly concluded in the first 45 minutes, much against the plan of the Chipolopolo, the Eagles could afford to take things easy in the second half and simply plan for counter attacks. Ideye could have made it three if he had opted for a header as Iheanacho found him in the box, but he attempted a bicycle kick instead.

Mweene also had to be alert to a scorching shot from Iwobi and a dipping from Eagles’ skipper Mikel Obi.

In the end, it was a sweet victory. It was the first time Nigeria would win a World Cup qualifying match away from home since defeating Ethiopia’s Walya Antelopes 2-1 in Addis Ababa in October 2013.

The Super Eagles’ next game is against the Fennecs of Algeria, at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Saturday, 12th November.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria returned to the country after their 2 – 1 away win to Zambia

– The delegation arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe airport in Abuja amidst violence

– Unknown gunmen attempted to arrest Shehu Dikko who was part of the party to Zambia

The Super Eagles of Nigeria returned into the country on Sunday night, October 9, amidst violence at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport where fully armed unknown gunmen were waiting to arrest the League Management Company (LMC) chairman Shehu Dikko.

Dikko was part of the delegation that led the Eagles to Ndola where the Super Eagles defeated the Chipolopolo of Zambia 2 – 1.


Two men who were in mufti claiming to be police officers stated that they were from the Jos police command, stressing that they have been given the order to arrest Dikko who is also the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) vice chairman.

Our correspondent learnt that the acclaimed police officers failed to present identity cards or warrants to back their presence at the airport.


However, Dikko was said to be having a discussion with the Super Eagles’ players, and all efforts by the security agents to arrest him proved abortive.

The unknown men decided to shoot sporadically into the air when journalists, NFF officials and members of the club owners accosted them.

The Super Eagles players were hurriedly ushered into their bus before being driven off for the safety of their lives.

“It was hell last night for us as these two men just appeared from no where claiming they were police officers. They even threatened to shoot us, and we said they should go ahead, but they later left after shooting into the air,” a journalist told NAIJ.com.

The Super Eagles media personnel Toyin Ibitoye also confirmed the incident, but quickly added that he was not at the scene when it happened.

“Yes, but I was not around the place as I was at the place where we were offloading our bags, but I was later told of what happened,” he to NAIJ.com.

All players will now return to their respective clubs but will return for the in November for their next game against the Desert Foxes of Algeria who were held to a 1 – 1 draw by Cameroon.

Nigeria top CAF qualifying Group B with 3 points, followed by Algeria and Cameroon who have one point each. Zambia are fourth with no point.

Running from killer to post just to justify this forceful abduction.

Well can you compare this scenero you quoted and what happen yesterday.

A North Carolina Superior Court judge is charged with trying to bribe an FBI officer to collect text messages between two phone numbers in what the judge said was a family matter.

Federal prosecutors on Wednesday announced the charges against Judge Arnold Jones II, who hears cases in three rural eastern North Carolina counties – Wayne, Lenoir and Greene – and is chairman of the North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission.

The judge had his first court appearance Wednesday and was released with general probation requirements, including restrictions on travel and having firearms. His next court date has not been set.

Jones faces a maximum of 37 years in federal prison if convicted of all charges, prosecutors said, but a sentence that long would be unlikely. It's illegal for law officers to demand text or phone information from a phone company without an approved search warrant in an active case.

Elliot Abrams, a Raleigh defense attorney, says the charges and the threat of federal prison are excessive.

"In my mind, if you go to a friend who's an FBI agent and it's illegal, the FBI agent should say, 'I can't do that. It's illegal,'" Abrams said.

"There's a number of less serious crimes that could have been charged here that may have been more appropriate."

Prosecutors say Jones approached the unidentified FBI officer a month ago, and the two met in Goldsboro on Tuesday to exchange $100 for a disk supposedly containing the text messages. Jones initially offered to give the officer "a couple cases of beer" for his help but later agreed to $100 in cash.

Jones is charged with promising and paying a bribe to a public official, promising and paying a gratuity to a public official and corruptly attempting to influence an official proceeding, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Jones was a private attorney in Goldsboro for 18 years before being elected to the Superior Court in 2008. He earned degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Wake Forest University law school.

The Nigerian Bar Association on Saturday declared a state of emergency in the judiciary following the midnight arrest of some judges by the Department of State Services.

The declaration of the state of emergency was made on Saturday evening in Lagos by the NBA President, Abubakar Mahmoud (SAN).

Mahmoud addressed the press alongside four past presidents of the association – Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), Dr. Olisa Agbakoba (SAN); Mr. J.B. Daudu (SAN) and Augustine Alegeh (SAN).



Others in attendance at the declaration, which held at Eko Hotel, Victoria Island, were Prof. Kayinsola Ajayi (SAN), Mr. Yusuf Ali (SAN), Mr. Dele Adesina (SAN), among others.

Mahmoud said two Supreme Court justices, Inyang Okoro and Sylvester Ngwuta were “abducted”, with their families, adding that he had yet to have the full detail of other judges who could have been involved.

Mahmoud said the NBA condemned what it termed the Gestapo-style operation of the DSS.
He announced the constitution of an emergency or crisis management team, comprising past NBA presidents to engage with the government.

Mahmoud, who said it was not the responsibility of the DSS to arrest judges, described the DSS action as an unconstitutional means of intimidating the judiciary and undermining its independence.

The NBA President called on President Muhammadu Buhari to order the immediate release of the arrested judges, vowing that there would be consequences should the demand be ignored.

Mahmoud said, “I want to emphasise again that we are not under military rule and we cannot accept this unholy event and Gestapo-style operation.

“We, therefore, call on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately caution all the state security agencies and to respect the rule of law and to respect due process.

“Any issues affecting the judicial officers, there are established procedures for handling them and we demand that this constitutional process must be obeyed.

“Given the unfolding nature of the event and the seriousness of the situation, the NBA hereby declares a state of emergency as it affects the affairs of the judiciary and I hereby constitute a crisis management team, comprising all past presidents of the association.

“I want to, on behalf of the association, make the very following clear and unequivocal demands: we demand the immediate and unconditional release of all the judges abducted from about 9pm yesterday (Friday).

“The release must be done immediately and without any conditions. Two, we demand that the Department of State Services should limit itself to its statutory and constitutional responsibilities.

“I’ll be meeting with the CJN later tonight or tomorrow. There will be consequences should these demands are not met.”
