Christoskurion:
Congratulations he has been confirmed but what happened today in the upper legislative chamber of this nation is true picture that APC government is not fighting any corruption but perceived enemies. They will be there putting this country to a hold for their selfish ambitions while we are fighting ourselves. I'm ashamed with what i saw today.

That is your problem Mr.... What happened today is what i called a NUMBER GAME..... Remember during the 7th assembly when APC senators were against Obanikoro Nominee... APC senotors also walked out of the chamber... So do me i do you, God no go vex.....

Politics › Court Upholds Ajimobi’s Election by gateleo(op): 7:20am On Oct 15, 2015

The five-man panel of the Court of Appeal sitting in Ibadan yesterday unanimously struck out the petition filed by the Accord governorship candidate in Oyo State, Rashidi Ladoja.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Ladoja approached the court to challenge the ruling of the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Ibadan.

The tribunal had on August 18 struck out his application seeking the court’s leave to call in a forensic analyst to tender the report made on the inspection of ballot papers and ballot boxes.

Ladoja had filed a petition challenging the declaration of Governor Abiola Ajimobi of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the April 11 governorship election.

But in the ruling, the court headed by Justice M. Saulawa dismissed the case and upheld the ruling of the tribunal.

“Handing a different ruling will be an exercise in futility.

“The appeal is dismissed in its entirety and the ruling of the lower tribunal on August 18 is upheld,” Saulawa said.

The court also said that the grounds for appeal were incompetent.

NAN reports that the application to incorporate a fresh issue by the appellant was also dismissed.

Politics › EFCC Recovers Millions From Diezani Alison-Madueke's Home - Vanguard by gateleo(op): 8:07am On Oct 04, 2015

*More suspects to join former minister
By Soni Daniel, Northern Region Editor
There were indications, yesterday, that a former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Allison-Madueke, arrested and released in the United Kingdom, on Friday, on money laundering allegations, may be charged to court, this week.

And feelers showed that she will not be the only person in the dock.

Sunday Vanguard learnt that besides the four other persons arrested with the former minister, more suspects may also be arraigned.

Meanwhile, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) detectives, who raided the Abuja home of Allison-Madueke, just at about the time of her arrest in the UK, on Friday, reportedly recovered cash running into millions of Naira.

The trial is expected to be conducted in London and is likely to draw thousands of Nigerians resident in the United Kingdom (UK) but no date was specified, last night, when Sunday Vanguard made contacts with the National Crime Agency (NCA), which arrested and released Diezani and the four others on Friday.

An official of the NCA gave indication of the trial in a telephone chat but pointed out that the identities of all the suspects would only be unveiled at the point of charging them to court.
The official explained that the law establishing the NCA does not allow it to name those being investigated before charging them to court.

The official said: “Indeed we cannot name the five persons who were arrested and granted police conditional bail until we are ready to charge them to court.

“The law does not permit us to do so and we will release appropriate information to the media as the case progresses”.

But it was learnt from sources close to the British government that the NCA might have concluded arrangements to arraign Diezani and other suspects believed to be mostly Nigerian oil business men, suspected to have aided and abetted money laundering while the former minister was in office.

One of the sources said the British Government started investigating Diezani as early as 2013 following sustained allegations of financial wrongdoings at home and abroad, leveled against her and some officials of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC.

In the meantime, a team of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) operatives, which raided the Abuja home of the former minister in Asokoro, Abuja, was said to have recovered cash running into millions of Naira from the place.

But a source close to the operation said only N1.2 million was recovered.

The security agents, who stormed the home, on Frederick Chiluba Street, Asokoro, in six vehicles, reportedly gained access to the expansive mansion with the aid of some former security aides of the embattled former minister.

The team allegedly gained access to the well fortified house using one of the windows.
Reports said Diezani had not been sighted near the palatial home since leaving office in May but had been staying in the United Kingdom, where she reportedly sought medical attention over an undisclosed ailment.

In updated information on its website, yesterday, the NCA disclosed that investigation of the suspects was initiated in 2013 by the Proceeds of Corruption Unit, which transferred the matter to it early this year.

The agency said that the suspects were merely granted what it called “conditional police bail” pending further investigation to be conducted in the UK and overseas.

It was learnt that the EFCC, which has a working pact with UK anti-corruption agencies, swopped on Diezani’s home and recovered vital documents, which it hopes to use to prosecute her when the trial begins in London.

According to the NCA’s website, the International Corruption Unit (ICU) investigates bribery of foreign public officials by individuals or companies from the UK and money laundering by suspected corrupt foreign officials and their associates.

The ICU also traces and recovers the proceeds of international corruption, support foreign law enforcement agencies with international anti-corruption investigations; engages with government and business to reduce the UK’s exposure to the proceeds of corruption.

It works to support increased compliance with the Bribery Act 2010 and draws on the specialist support available to it within the NCA, while also working closely with other UK law enforcement agencies and overseas partners.

Protesting for what exactly? That he lied in his asset declaration form or that he is 'innocent'

Some Nigerians are yet to get it and understand the actions of some of these politicians.

After the protest, you'd look for a bus or hitch a ride with someone, while your Saraki would be chauffeured driven back to relax in one of his mansions. If 99.9% of them have got jobs to do, trust me you will not see them carrying post cards protest.

Hundreds of protesters on Tuesday barricaded the entrance of the National Assembly in Abuja singing solidarity songs in support of the embattled Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki. They also warned anti-graft agencies to desist from being used against perceived “political enemies.”

They carried placards with different inscriptions such as, “Enough is enough, we support Saraki and Ekweremadu.”

Saraki is facing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal over alleged falsification of documents in his assets declaration form when he was governor in Kwara State.

People always ask me when i will be returning to Nigeria, my answer to them is "Never".
You have your president who wasted time in declaring his assets and when he finally did, he declared a false asset.
Why not go arrest the president first before arresting innocent civil servants ??

I will forever remain a slave in America where there is law & orderliness than come back to my home country where every rich man is above the law.

What's the outcome of Amechi's trial ??What of Sariki ?? Not guilty.
This people will go to court just to deceive ignorant Nigerians and at the end of the day, they will go home free.
Nigeria is just cursed.

Abegiii Keep your mouth sh.t.... Which America you dey? Keep on deceiving yourself....Instead of you praying for our dear Country... you sit for your brown roof house they curse our dear country....

God Bless Nigeria....
