facilities belonging to associates of a former Deputy Speaker

party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

LEADERSHIP gathered that over 40 staff and guests in the
three facilities, including a bar, hotel and a filling station were
arrested by security operatives during the operation.

the Rivers State House of Assembly, Hon. Jones Ogbonda,
and former PDP chairman in Port Harcourt City local
government area, Hon. Ikechi Chinda, respectively, the filling
station belongs to a member of the House of Representatives,
Hon. Chinyere Igwe.

A Nigerian national and four other suspects have so far been arrested in connection with the murder of Hillary Indira Gardee in South Africa.

Hillary was the daughter of Godrich Gardee, a South African
politician and former Secretary-General of the Economic
Freedom Fighters (EFF)

The 28-year-old postgraduate student who was born in Lagos, disappeared on April 29, 2022, before her body was found in May.

She went missing while shopping with her adopted three-year-old daughter. The child was later that day dropped off at Umnenke Street at KaMaGugu where they resided.

The suspect, a Nigerian national in his mid-thirties, was taken in for questioning on Sunday, August 14.

Mpumalanga police spokesperson Brigadier Selvy Mohlala,
who confirmed the development on Tuesday, August 16, said the suspect has been charged in terms of defeating the ends of justice.

"We have taken him for questioning on Sunday afternoon and ultimately we managed to charge him today and he's
expected to appear in the Nelspruit magistrate's court on
Wednesday 17 August, facing the charges that I've just
indicated," he said.

"And I must indicate that we have indeed said from the
beginning that we are not going to leave any stone unturned
and all the people or all the suspects who have been involved in this particular case are going to be arrested." he added.

Four other suspects, all South African nationals, have already appeared in court in connection with the murder.

Police arrested a fourth suspect in KwaThema in Gauteng last Thursday night.

Provincial police commissioner, Lt-Gen Semakaleng Manamela described the fourth suspect as a possible serial killer as he's been linked to the murders of three other women.

"We can confirm that working with our team from Gauteng, we managed to arrest a suspect who was wanted [in connection to the case]," Manamela said.

"The suspect was arrested and is believed to be responsible
for murder also in Sundra and of two sisters at KaNyamazane (in Mpumalanga) where one of the victims was a police officer."

The Senate Public Accounts Committee (SPAC) has put the
current and past management of the Nigeria Social Insurance
Trust Fund (NSITF) under scrutiny.

The committee said it discovered that the fund’s management
failed to produce relevant documents to justify alleged
spending of N17.158 billion in 2013.

Some of the documents to back the expenses were said to
have been eaten up by termites, according to the Nation.

The Office of the Auditor General of the Federation (OAuGF), in
its 2018 audit report – now being considered by the Senate
panel chaired by Senator Matthew Urhoghide (Edo South) –
had queried the agency over the disbursed sums without
appropriate supporting documents.

In his report, the OAuGF said the N17.158 billion represented
the total sum of money, transferred by the agency from its
Skye and First Bank accounts, into various untraceable
accounts belonging to individuals and companies between
January and December 2013.

The OAuGF had, in its 2018 audit report, raised 50 different
queries bordering on alleged misappropriation of funds against the agency.

The AuGF’s query reads: "Management of NSITF, as shown in
statements of account number 1750011691 with Skye Bank
Plc, for the period 1st January, 2013 to 20th December, 2013,
and statements of account number 2001754610 with First
Bank Plc for the period January 7, 2013 to February 28, 2013,
transferred amounts totalling N17,158,883,034.69 to some
persons and companies from these accounts.

"However, payment vouchers relating to the transfers together
with their supporting documents were not provided for audit.
Consequently, the purpose(s) for the transfers could not be
authenticated.

"These are in violation of Financial Regulation 601 which
states that 'all payment entries in the cashbook/accounts
shall be vouched for on one of the prescribed treasury forms.
Vouchers shall be made out in favour of the person or persons
to whom the money is actually due'.

"Under no circumstances shall a cheque be raised, or cash
paid for services for which a voucher has not been raised."

The Chairman of the Senate Committee, Urhoghide, had
summoned and interviewed NSITF’s past and present
managements on where the said N17.158 billion was
transferred to between January and December 2013.

It was learnt that no official of the former management could
offer satisfactory explanation on the alleged multiple transfers
with necessary documents.

Members of management in charge of the agency in 2013 had
told the committee that relevant cash vouchers pertaining to
the transactions were left behind by them.

But the current NSITF Managing Director, Dr. Michael
Akabogu, was said to have claimed that no such documents
were in the organisation’s custody.

"The container the said documents were kept by past
management has not only been beaten by rains over the years
but even possibly been eaten up by termites.

"As directed by this committee, I told the past management
officers on the need for them to help us out in answering this
query with necessary documents which have not been made
available for us," Akabogu allegedly said.

The Managing Director of NSITF from 2010 to 2016, Mallam
Umar Munir Abubakar, allegedly claimed that he was aware of
the query and had no explanations to render since the audit
exercise was not carried out during his tenure.

But his successor, Mr. Adebayo Somefun, who was head of
the agency from May 2017 to July 2020, allegedly insisted
that those in the agency’s account section should be able to
trace the documents.

But the current General Manager Finance of the agency
allegedly said that the container in question had been under
lock and key and abandoned in an isolated area within the
premises of the organisation in Abuja.

In his ruling, Urhoghide expressed worry over the development
and ordered both members of past and present management
of the NSITF to re-appear before the panel with all necessary
evidence concerning the transactions unfailingly on Thursday,
September 22, 2022.

Bello Shagari, a Nigerian man who happens to be the
grandson of Shehu Shagari, a former Nigerian President has admonished the youths.

The young man made the comments while wearing the
traditional Igbo attire, Isi-Agu to mark International Youth Day He wrote: YOUTHS, WE SHOULD FIGHT WITH Tribalism! On this International Youth Day, whose title is "World Unity", I would like to call on youths to fight against tribalism," he wrote.

"Especially in Nigeria, tribalism has become a nightmare among us. And that's because we choose to inherit the hatred of mothers and grandparents, which by doing so, has no benefit in our lives.

"In every tribe there is a good person and a bad person, there are good people and there are bad people. But the spoilers of our town have influenced the representation of our character.

"So, it's good to understand each other so that we can have peace and good communication. Ethnicism has no origin or place to live in any religion. It's just a wicked character like human being which is the origin of the devil

"And it is not an evidence that just because a person from a tribe tribalism against you, you should also take your character and return it to him. It's like stealing from you, you will attend to it yourself. Be yourself a role model, not a spoiler. Loving your tribe and culture doesn't make you hate others."

Me : All of them

The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has revealed details of
masterminds of June 5 attack on St. Francis Catholic Church
in Owo, Ondo state.

The DHQ in a statement on Wednesday, August 10, stated
that four among the terrorists who carried out the attack were
arrested at Eika, Okehi LGA, Kogi State on 1 August 2022.
Recall that Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Lucky Irabor,
had on Tuesday in Abuja, said that five masterminds of the
church massacre including one Idris Ojo, had been captured
by security operatives.

Following the statement by the CDS, Nigerians questioned
how Ojo, who escaped from Kuje prison in July, was able to
launch an attack in Owo in June, a month earlier.

In a swift reaction, Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu,
clarified that Ojo is not one of the suspected masterminds of
the Owo church attack, adding that it was a mix-up.

The statement signed by Director Defence Information, Major
General Jimmy Akpor, said Ojo was one of the suspected
ISWAP terrorists who escaped from the Kuje Medium
Correctional Centre.

According to the statement, Ojo was apprehended at Ayetoro
Osi, Ondo State through the combined effort of military and
DSS personnel on 7 August.

The arrested Owo church attackers are; Idris Abdulmalik
Omeiza (a.k.a Bin Malik), Momoh Otohu Abubakar, Aliyu
Yusuf Itopa and Auwal Ishaq Onimisi.

"The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Lucky Irabor, has
confirmed the arrest of 4 of the architects of the terrorists’
attack on St Francis Catholic Church, Owo, Ondo State on 5
June 2022," the statement read.

"He made the confirmation during the second CDS’ parley with
media executives and editors, which took place at the Defence
Headquarters (DHQ), Abuja on Tuesday 9 August 2022. The
parley was organized by the Directorate of Defence
Information in collaboration with The Media Today (TMT)
International,"

"The CDS said that, through the collaborative efforts of military
and DSS personnel, 4 amongst the terrorists who carried out
the attack on the Owo Catholic Church were arrested at Eika,
Okehi LGA, Kogi State on 1 August 2022

"Those arrested included Idris Abdulmalik Omeiza (a.k.a Bin
Malik), Momoh Otohu Abubakar, Aliyu Yusuf Itopa and Auwal
Ishaq Onimisi.

"The Defence Chief said, preliminary investigation revealed that Idris Abdulmalik Omeiza was the mastermind of the terror
attack on the Owo Catholic Church as well as the attack on a
Police Station in Adavi LGA, Kogi State on 23 June 2022,
during which a policeman was killed and weapons carted
away.

"The Defence Chief also mentioned the arrest of another
terrorist, Idris Ojo (32 years), who was apprehended at Ayetoro
Osi, Ondo State through the combined effort of military and
DSS personnel on 7 August 2022

"Idris Ojo, the CDS said, was one of the suspected ISWAP
terrorists who escaped from the Kuje Medium Correctional
Centre highlighted on 5 July 2022. The CDS also mentioned
that Ojo was arrested alongside Jimoh Ibrahim (39 years), a
sympathizer of the terrorist group, who accommodated him
"The CDS further revealed that, the arrest of Idris Ojo was
crucial as he, along with others, was already planning
terrorists’ attacks against some selected targets, in order to
create fear amongst the citizenry aimed at discrediting the
government

"Gen Irabor also confirmed the death of a bandit leader, Alhaji
Abdulkareem, who was killed alongside his fighters on 6
August 2022 during air operations in the North West region.

"Whilst mentioning the unfortunate terrorists’ attacks on
Kaduna-Abuja Train Service, Owo Catholic Church, Kuje
Medium Correctional Centre and the presidential advance
convoy, the CDS assured the media chiefs that the military,
Nigeria Police, DSS and other security agencies were
collaborating in many fronts, working day and night to keep
the country safe

"He appreciated Nigerians of goodwill, in understanding what
military operations were like and what the responsibilities of
Nigeria Police, DSS and other security agencies were and what
they were doing in ensuring that every one of us, within our
geographical space, lived in peace and harmony

"The CDS used the opportunity to solicit the cooperation of the
larger society, saying that, “what the criminals (terrorists)
amongst us want to do is to stoke fear and to promote it to
such a level that every one of us will not even want to leave
our houses. This is the strategy, which if we do not take time,
will become part and parcel of our daily lives”.

Gen Irabor said the media gatekeepers had a responsibility “in
educating the society to understand that, never again should
we allow agents of destabilization to stoke fear amongst us,
that together we will crush the elements that do not want us
to leave in peace”.

"The CDS therefore, urged the media executives and editors to
remain partners in progress in ensuring that their media were
insulated from being used by terrorists to unintentionally fuel
fear in the minds of Nigerians

"Gen Irabor also expressed the commitment of the Armed
Forces of Nigeria (AFN) in guaranteeing a secure and peaceful
2023 general elections during the parley.

He remarked that, “members of the Armed Forces have a
covenant with the democratic process that the covenant
deposition is that the military would create conditions for free,
safe and secure conduct of the 2023 general elections”.

The CDS further explained that, all the operational
engagements of the AFN have been tailored towards ensuring
that the nation’s democratic process was not only nurtured
but also made to remain solid. He urged all stakeholders that
would be involved in politicking to take actions that are
focused and geared towards moving the democratic process
forward.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO), The Media Today
International, Barrister Charles Odenigbo, in his opening
remarks, commended the AFN for the operational successes
recorded in the various theatres of operations in recent times.

He said the second CDS parley was planned in the spirit of
openness, to elicit a practical and robust review of media
reportage of defence and security sector over the intervening
period since the first CDS parley. This, he said was aimed at
evaluating the contributions of mainstream and online media
towards assisting the military and security agencies in the
fight against insecurity in Nigeria. Barr Odenigbo urged the
media to continue to work with the military in the task of
national security and nation building.

In his welcome address, the Director Defence Information
(DDI), Major General Jimmy Akpor, recounted that the first
edition of the CDS parley with media executives and editors,
which held in January this year, was mooted by the current
CDS, Gen Irabor.

According to him, the parley was in line with the leadership
philosophy of the CDS, “to foster a professional Armed Forces
capable of effectively meeting constitutional imperatives.”

The DDI further described the CDS’ parley as a welcome
development that would build sustainable trust and confidence
between the AFN and the media, particularly as it concerned
the conduct of military operations and engagements.
