PoliticsN1bn Bail Slammed On Maurice Iwu By Court by gabolak(op): 6:17pm On Aug 09, 2019
The bail request by a former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Prof Maurice Iwu over alleged fraud of N1.23bn has been set at N1bn with two sureties in like sum.

One of the sureties, according to Justice Chuka Obiozor, who ruled on the bail application on Friday, said, must own a landed property in Lagos while the other must be a professor or a civil servant not below Grade Level 16.


The judge said both sureties must furnish the court with the statement of their bank accounts, showing a minimum balance of N1bn.

The sureties are also to submit their recent passport photographs.

In addition, Iwu was ordered to deposit his passport with the Deputy Chief Registrar of the court.
The former INEC chairman will be remanded until he meets the bail condition, the judge ordered.
While moving Iwu’s bail application on Friday, his lawyer, Mr Ahmed Raji (SAN), urged the judge to admit his client to bail in liberal terms but the EFCC vehemently opposed the bail application.
The EFCC counsel, Oyedepo, told the judge that Iwu might likely interfere with the witnesses assembled to testify in the case as they were INEC officials with whom he had worked closely.

PoliticsSaidu Kolaku Killed! Miyetti Allah Leader Short Dead In Adamawa by gabolak(op): 12:08pm On Aug 04, 2019
Miyetti Allah leader shot dead

A leader of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has been shot dead.

Saidu Kolaku was the zonal vice chairman of MACBAN, Adamawa South, until he was shot dead on Saturday.

His death has been described by an official of MACBAN and other informed persons in the state as being a possible reprisal attack.

Mr Kolaku had been assisting security operatives in tracking down kidnappers and other criminals. He was recently honoured by the state police command for his efforts.

The police spokesman in the Adamawa State, Sulaiman Nguroje, confirmed the incident.

‘’Unknown gunmen stormed the resident of the Fulani leader located at Sabon Pegi in Mayo Belwa local government, shot him and left him in the pool of his blood.

‘’Following the incident, a distress call was forwarded to the police who rushed to the scene and took the victim to the hospital where he was confirmed dead by the doctor on duty,” he said.

Mr Nguroje, a deputy superintendent of police, said the Adamawa State police commissioner has dispatched officials of the homicide department to investigate the murder.

’Indeed, police received the death of the slain man with shock because of his invaluable contribution towards fighting crime and criminality especially his gallantry in the fight against kidnappers.

“The command has launched manhunt for the fleeing culprits and God’swilling, they will be tracked down and brought to justice,” he said.

Reacting to the killing, the Public Relations Officer of Miyetti Allah in the state, Muhammad Buba, said the killing of Mr Kolaku may be a reprisal attack to avenge the role he played in tackling criminality especially kidnapping and cattle rustling.

‘’Efforts of Kolaku in fighting crime had made the police command to honour him on 17th July 2019, for his gallantry and valiant exploits in fighting kidnappers and cattle rustlers rampaging the state.

"It’s unfortunate that the death of our zonal leader will seriously undermine the fight against crime and criminality in the state,’’ the spokesperson of the Fulani herders’ association said.

Adamawa, alongside Borno and Yobe, are the three states most affected by the Boko Haram insurgency.

Apart from the insurgency, however, Adamawa also suffers from cattle rustling and communal violence.

CrimeHarassment At Police Check Point by gabolak(op): 7:47pm On Jul 07, 2019
On my way to church for a vigil last night, around NUD road in Abeokuta, I ran into a check point of men of @PoliceNG.

It was already dark out there as there was power outage. No street lights and no ray of light from vehicle coming from the opposite direction.

I carried my younger brother who is physically challenged on the bike with me. We both put on our white garments.

All of a sudden and from different angles far ahead, like six ray of light from torch just came straight into my eyes.
At that instant, I was monetarily blind. I nearly lost my balance and I had to slow down.

So I approached the spot from where the ray of light was emanating from with caution and fear.

Low and behold, I got there to discover that they were policemen.

I stopped and greeted them. Then I was forced to register my displeasure at the way they pointed their torch directly into my eyes. That it almost cause an accident for us.

That was how all of them descended on us and they started harassing us.
One of them removed the key of the bike while another one forced my brother to get off the bike not minding his condition.

I was baffled with their attitudes towards us. Then I asked if there was really anything wrong with me complaining about their actions.

They said my offence was that I was trying to teach them how to do their job.

They delayed us for God's know time there and after much begging, we were let go.

This is a clear case of finding a soft landing for the suspended cjn.

If the evidence before the njc is good enough to warrant compulsory retirement, then it should be good enough to ask for his prosecution.
Let him go and explain the source of the slush fund before a court of competent jurisdiction.

The panel is just trying to shield him from further disgrace on one side and the judiciary too on the other side from further embarrassment that comes with the whole saga.

PoliticsWe Must Rescue Ogun Workers From Amosun, Says NLC President by gabolak(op): 3:14pm On Mar 02, 2019
The leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has said it must rescue Ogun workers from some alleged anti-labour practices of the state governor, Mr Ibikunle Amosun.

Mr Ayuba Wabba, the NLC President, made the position of the congress known in a statement on Friday night in Abuja.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that there has been a confrontation between the state governor and the leadership of NLC over non-payment of workers’ salaries and arrears and the recent sack of the NLC state chairman by the governor.

The NLC leadership also accused Amosun of non-remittance of statutory deductions from workers’ salaries and his refusal to pay gratuities of retired state and local government workers since 2013.

Wabba said NLC was prepared for a showdown with the governor if attempts were made to “disgrace the NLC” during its rescheduled March 5, protest in the state, as reportedly threatened by him.

He said the decision to ‘confront and tackle’ Amosun had already been taken by the NLC at its 12th National Delegates Conference and that there was no going back on it.

“The leadership of the NLC has taken cognisance of a statement credited to the Gov. of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun, where he threatened to disgrace the leadership of the NLC if the Congress insists on embarking on a protest scheduled for Tuesday March 5, 2019 in Ogun State.

“This was reported by Premium Times on 1st March 2019 and other platforms. Our position is that The Nigeria Labour Congress has taken note of the threat by Governor Ibikunle Amosun.

“But we want to assure him that his threats will not deter us from defending the interest of workers in Ogun State whose rights he has been trampling upon.

” This is especially on the following issues: the non-remittance of statutory deductions from workers’ salaries for pensions, cooperative, ileya, Christmas etc. over a period of one hundred and five (105) months,” he said.

He said that Amosun had refused to pay salary arrears of workers at the Tai Solarin College of Education, according to him, which has accumulated for the past ten years and now grosses to a financial liability of about N9 billion.

“To make matters worse, Governor Amosun sacked the Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress from his employment for standing firm in the defence of the rights of workers in Ogun State.

“The issues we have highlighted are too grievous to be swept under the carpet, therefore, the decision of the 12th National Delegates Conference of the NLC to confront and engage Governor Amosun will be carried out to the letter on Tuesday, March 5, 2019.


“We are not unmindful of the fact that even Amosun’s political party has complained of his penchant to violently disgrace other spheres of leadership outside his control and sometimes beyond him.
“We are not unmindful of the fact that Governor Amosun’s hostility to Nigerian workers is primarily a transfer of aggression"
” Our confidence stems from the protection and guarantees provided by Section 40 of the 1999 Constitution, which gives workers and indeed all Nigerians the freedom to peaceful assembly and protest,” he said.

While insiting on the scheduled protest, Wabba added that “All that the law requires us to do is to inform the police and relevant security agencies.
“This we have done. We are ready to peacefully protest the grievous mistreatment of our workers in the hands of Governor Ibikunle Amosun on 5th March 2019.
“We want to warn Governor Amosun that we will hold him personally responsible for any harm that comes to any worker during our protest on March 5, 2019.
“We want to remind Governor Amosun that he has already trampled workers on the ground and those who are down need fear no fall.
“We wish to alert our security agencies to Governor Amosun’s resort to violent threats.
“We assure him that his immunity cover will soon be removed and he must be ready to answer for his crimes against workers.

“The NLC can assure Ibikunle Amosun that we will continue to engage him even after he would have been sworn in as a Senator in Abuja.
“We wish to state that we unequivocally stand with the press statement recently released by our state council on this issue.
“We urge all our state councils especially those from the contiguous states to Ogun State – Lagos, Oyo, Osun states who are already fully mobilised for the protest not to be sacred one bit by the threats by Governor Ibikunle Amosun. We have dared and won worse tyrants,” Wabba said.

Don't mind the paid editorial.

Unusual problem requires unusual solution.

When cjn personally wrote and admitted that he forgot to declare millions starched away in his accounts, they didn't write editorial to condemn his continue stay as cjn.

They didn't tell him that sitting on top of the judiciary that is trying him is like acting judge in his own case.

They didn't write their useless paid epistle to compel him to honourably vacate office, but when PMB now wield the big stick they are now crying wolf where there is none.
