GreatAxeMan: According to documents obtained by SaharaReporters, Abiodun's jail number was 8600B9436.
SaharaReporters has exclusively obtained the criminal record of how Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun was jailed in 1986 for credit card fraud in Miami Dade Florida, USA.
The governor was said to have used a pseudo name (Shawn Michael Davids) with the aim of concealing his criminal identity.
The record revealed that Dapo Abiodun was jailed for committing criminal offences which bordered on credit card fraud, petty theft and check forgery.
He was arrested on November 7, 1986, for fighting and injuring a police officer in an attempt to resist arrest.
While being processed at the station, his fingerprint was run through the crime database and it was discovered that the Adedapo Oluseun Abiodun being processed for detention was the same as Shawn Michael Davids.
His criminal record and history were thus cemented and he was jailed.
According to documents obtained by SaharaReporters, Abiodun's jail number was 8600B9436.
In 2015, while contesting for the Ogun East Senatorial seat against the late Buruji Kasamu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he applied for the redaction of his criminal records in Miami Dade, Florida.
This act of concealment meant he could lie on his Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) forms that he had no prior criminal records. A perjury offence that could have disqualified him from ever holding an appointive or elective office in Nigeria.
The redaction was granted in August 2015.
The redaction application details are as follows;
CFN.. 20150534571
BOOK...29743
PAGE...1170
DATE...18th August 2015
TIME...04:20:51pm
It was processed by Harvey Euvin, the Miami Dade City Clerk of Court.
A source who spoke to SaharaReporters said they had in 2021 engaged the services of a US criminal attorney (name withheld) through whom they made an application to get the unredacted document and the request was granted.
According to the unredacted documents, the "NOLLE PROSEQUI" indicated in the criminal records was a decision of the police and the District Attorney (DA) not to proceed to trial in exchange for Dapo's cooperation to name his accomplices.
Abiodun's criminal past has made him ineligible to hold public office in line with the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
A group under the auspices of Coalition of Ogun State Students (COSS) in a letter dated March 17, 2022, signed by its Convener, Comrade Oladimeji Uthman, has, however, given the governor two weeks to respond to the allegations against him as contained in the documents or face legal action.
Media houses must not be helping frauds misinforming the public. PDP candidate is a practicing CHRISTIAN and known as Jackson. Nurudeen is the name his father gave him like his brothers. But all of them are following their mother religion. Only Isiaka is partly a Muslim. So Mr Jackson be proud of ur name
omenkaLives: The biggest masquerades always come out last to the admiration of jaded observers. But ipobic dolts don't know this principle and were already makin a whole lot of noise, saying Tinubu et al have been used and dumped.
The worse thing that could ever happen to any human is being an ipob member or supporter. Once you become any of those, your brain ceases to function and you start acting like a deranged humanoid.
APC Convention: Buhari hosts Tinubu, Akande, other founding fathers to dinner By Bolaji Ogundele, Abuja On Mar 24, 2022
President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday night continued his consultations with critical stakeholders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He hosted founding fathers of the party to a dinner. In attendance were the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; the first Interim Chairman Chief Bisi Akande; Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonaya Onu; former Imo Governor Senator Rochas Okorocha; former Kano Governor Ibrahim Shekarau; and former Sokoto Governor Aliyu Wamako.
Others were: Governors Nasir El-Rufai (Kaduna); Aminu Masari (Katsina) and Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.
perrymike: Nigerians, except the incurably gullible, know this old goon better than he knows himself.
Yes and the only man that turn the fortune of the only state he governed around for good. We know for Enron IPP, for leading the fight for true federalism defeating the FG at Supreme Court, led the VAT to state issue etc. We know him for staying with one party when he has more to gain by joining the ruling party
todugo: The same way Buhari had plans for Nigeria in 2014 before you elected him. This time around I pray that the suffering Nigerians will experience this time around after electing a bad leader will make them to have common sense to recognise that politician are not interested in the welfare of the citizens not to talk of national development. Their interest is to loot national wealth and run to abroad with their family.
.
Not true. Awolowo did it and did it well in the old western region. He was a politician! This is the first time a well educated and exposed mainstream Yoruba will be leading if he won, so expect phenomenal growth.
He pioneered the IPP idea in Nigeria with the Enron project. But unfortunately then states are not empowered to distribute. So yes, he knows what to do and he did it but OBJ as usual killed the idea. That we are back to what he did in 20 yrs ago says alot
ResidentSnitch: I trust Afonjas to betray Tinumbu after chopping his cash. It will not be the first time they would be doing it. Tinumbu, I believe, is wise enough to know that he should relinquish his aspiration to another person like Osibanjo; if not, Afonjas go do am 40.
And how is that ur wahala? Leave us Afonja alone nao
murecool: Senators got $3000k each, Representatives $2000k They expected at least $10,000 each How Naira rain caused fight between Ondo, Ekiti Obas Reports have emerged that the recent visit of presidential aspirant, Bola Tinubu, to the National Assembly, left disappointment and sour taste in the mouths of some of the legislators.
Tinubu recently paid a ‘plea’ visit to the All Progress Congress, APC, lawmakers in support for his presidential bid.
Those who expected that the Asiwaju Tinubu’s presidential campaign would be an unrelenting distribution of raw cash along the way, may not be wrong after all. But don’t tell that to the members of the ruling APC caucus who received the former Lagos State Governor.
Two days ago, Wednesday March 16, 2022, the All Progressives Congress caucus in the House of Representatives received the former Governor but now they could be heard expressing disappointment that what they were given as “kolanut” for the meeting was disappointing.
Some members of the National Assembly who confirmed this to Quest Times said “most members expected at least $10,000 each, so there is some sense of disappointment that Reps got only $2,000 and Senators got only $3,000.”
A member who was disgusted by the whole thing said “the shameless way some of the NASS members especially Representatives were complaining that they expected more from Asiwaju is so bad, coming from elected representatives of the Nigerian people.”
Media reports had relayed that Tinubu visited the National Assembly to address the APC caucus in the Senate and House, and got a voice endorsement during the House of Representatives meeting.
The meeting with the Senators didn’t have such a ringing endorsement however, but some of the members may have been attracted to the meeting and joined the “voice endorsement” in the hope for at least $10k.
“But now, some of them are feeling short-changed, even though they collected their portions of the medium dollar rain.”
This is not the first time that a consultation meeting by Asiwaju and the attendant sharing of cash will leave behind it sour tales. It happened not too long ago when the former governor visited traditional rulers in Ekiti and Ondo states not too long ago. How Tinubu’s Naira rain tears apart Ondo Monarchs In Ondo State specifically, the cash left behind “a wide gulf between the minority Class A kings and the majority 130 Crowns in the Sunshine State, who belong to the B and C grades.” According to a journalist from the state; “the Presidential aspirant and former Governor of Lagos State famous for keeping cash in bullion vans, Tinubu brought sacks of Naira as homage to the royal fathers in their domains. His entourage’s first port of call was Ondo South Senatorial District, where they met the Obas at an Events Centre in Okitipupa. Below is the narration from the journalist: After exchanging pleasantries and declaring his intention to contest the 2023 Presidential Election, Tinubu’s aides were said to have rolled in millions of Naira notes stacked in Ghana-Must-Go bags, for the kings to share. N30m was allocated to each of the three senatorial political zones. Whereas things went according to plan under the supervision of HRM Olugbo in the South, what obtained in Central and North Senatorial Districts were outright row and chaos. A cold war indeed! In Akure, 18 Monarchs met Tinubu in the Palace of the Deji of Akure, but only 3 of them are Grade A while 15 are in B and C categories. Surprisingly, we learnt from insiders that only a meagre N5m was doled out to the 15 rulers to share while the chunk was kept by the few three senior monarchs. To worsen the situation, no information on the actual largesse was given to the second class Obas. Rage then set in and the N5m offered, by a popular politician in Ondo State, was reportedly dumped at the doorstep of the Paramount ruler of Akure land, the Deji. The protesting royals were said to have staged a walk out without collecting the money.
A similar ugly incident transpired in the North Senatorial District meeting held in Owo, where monarchs converged on the Palace of the new Olowo of Owo. The 7 Grade A Obas present were said to have outsmarted the 26 B and C kings, who were blocked from knowing what transpired between the August Visitor and the royals. At the end of the day, after Team Tinubu had left, a paltry sum of N5.7m was dished out by the Coordinating Grade A Oba Olowo, to the 26 representatives of the lower cadre royals. Having failed to disclose the total monetary gift from the Lagos frontline politician, anger got the best of the cheated Grade B and C Obas, who politely declined collecting their own ‘share’ of ‘Tinubu’s cake.’ Efforts were made to settle the matter equitably and fairly, in order to keep the issue off the public domain.
These ipob chavs will never cease to amaze. Tinubu has taken rent for free in ur brain mind and soul. Worse, he doesn't even give u ppl a second of his time
OBALOLA55: I SHOULD RATHER ASK TINUBU WHAT HAPPENED TO FUNSO WILLIAMS
Many of you cant even think but will just be parroting any nonsense that enters your head. When was Funso Williams assassinated sef?
Tinubu contested with Funsho Williams in 1999 and 2003. He didn't killed him then. So out is when he is constitutionally barred from running again in 2006 that he will kill him? For what?

edmaraja: If it was from Fulani's, it's still good enough, those fulanis will vote for him again. As for your other stupid claim, I don't expect a brain dead, myopic zombie to know better. Igbos are very adventurous spirits, we have travelled everywhere in the world and conquered barriers. Go to the north, the west, the south and in the south east, we are everywhere making progress in our various fields of endeavor. Hausas/fulanis are also found in large quantities everywhere including the south east unlike one moronic tribe that is known for cowardice that are too fearful to venture beyond the boundaries of their region.
You are so silly and ignorant. So it Ibos that voted for pdp in Oyo and Ondo states. Mumu
Jostoman: EFCC no even get shame again or to even hide their witch Hunting again. Just because he declare yesterday to run for president yesterday the next thing is to attack him with EFCC.
Imagine the rubbish this d.tard just posted. I m sure u did not even read the content.
talktimi: Even if Osinbande has been a monumental failure as VP with his hands "tied" according to himself, he'll be a far better president than that so called Jagaban Bola Ahmed Tinubu who had to forfeit a huge amount of drug funds to the United States government in order to escape a sure prison sentence. Osinbande is more refined and articulated in my opinion and is my only choice from the APC party of vampires
It is natural for Igbos to consider others as drug dealers. It is a genetically and generational thing. Envy for any leading Yoruba and drug dealings. Becos if ur brain will just function for few seconds, u will know that Tinubu worked for multinational US companies. Or are those reputable companies into drugs sicko?

omonnakoda: I fail to see why this is an immediate priority?
This is more than the annual State budget
The immediate priorities in Lagos today are Water, Housing, Health, Education and Mass Transport Systems
This project will benefit a small part of the population
I think it will be good to do one day but is it the most important thing for Lagos State now?
Debatable
That money would build over 100 000 houses and create a LOT MORE jobs in the process
It is majorly private funded. That is, the money is not available for the govt to build houses etc. Investors will put money into strategic projects. Meanwhile thousands of houses are being built in Lagos daily by private interests. The problem is the refugees flocking to Lagos daily
SportsHD: Looks like yellow caught a bullet in the back of his skull. He was killer by a sharp shooter while trying to run away. They even handcuffed his corpse join.
You must be an armed robber urself, the way you reason. He was shot and injured. Taken to the hospital and confirm dead.
All robbers, yahoo plus, kidnappers will not know peace and must meet a dreadful end
