Crime / Fayose Fails To Stop EFCC Probe by hayormakaay(m): 4:11pm On Aug 19, 2016
Governor Ayo Fayose yesterday failed in his bid to stop the anti-graft agencies from probing Ekiti State’s finances and bank accounts. An Ado Ekiti High Court declined to grant an ex parte order sought by his administration to restrain the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from investigating the government’s financial records. Justice Cornelius Akintayo ordered that EFCC, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and the Department of State Service (DSS) be put on notice before the case can be heard. http://saharareporters.com/2016/08/19/fayose-fails-stop-efcc-probe
Politics / FG Proposes 5 Ways To Spend The Abacha Loot by hayormakaay(m): 1:03pm On Aug 08, 2016
– The Nigerian government has
proposed 5 ways to spend the
Abacha loot – The loot which is yet to be
released by Switzerland is part
of the 2016 budget – If released the $321 million
will make it $1.044 billion of
stolen loot, returned by
Switzerland so far Abacha’s de factor rule as
president from 1993-1998 was
marked by looting of the
country’s treasury In order to facilitate the quick
return of part of Sani Abacha’s
loot from Switzerland, the
Nigerian federal government has
proposed ways the returned loot
will be used, when released. Therefore, the government of
Nigeria has sent 5 proposals to
Switzerland detailing how it will
spend the $321m Sani Abacha
loot. According to The Nation, Justice
Abubakar Malami, the Attorney
General of the Federation (AGF)
for the Buhari administration said
they will spend the bulk of the
fund on social welfare for Nigerians to alleviate poverty. “Some of the projects have been
captured in this year’s budget.
They will impact on all Nigerians,”
Malami said. “They wrote back to us on the
fact that they will want the World
Bank to be directly involved in the
monitoring of the projects with a
caveat that we have to pay
monitoring fees. “We have not come to terms with
paying monitoring fees for all the
projects. We have not taken any
decision to pay the bills for all the
projects or to restrict the payment
to two of the projects, “We are already collaborating
with World Bank on three
projects which will accelerate the
nation’s development,” he
concluded. READ ALSO: How President Buhari may spend recovered looted

months ago, former president
Olusegun Obasanjo had
described a judge as “ignorant
and stupid” for directing all past
civilian presidents from 1999 to account for the loot recovered
from the late military dictator, Sani
Abacha. The judge had issued an order of
mandamus directing the federal government, through the
attorney-general of the
federation, to compel the regimes
of Obasanjo, Musa Yar’ Adua and
Goodluck Jonathan to publish the
details of the recovery and spending of the Abacha loot.https://www.naij.com/919520-read-5-ways-fg-plans-spend-abacha-loot-321m.html?source=index_main

Politics / Okah Is After My Life - Goodluck Jonathan Cries Out by hayormakaay(m): 11:25am On Aug 08, 2016
– Goodluck Jonathan has cried
out over plots to assassinate
him – The ex-president’s claim
comes on the heels of
accusations that he is a sponsor
of the NDA – Jonathan has denied the
allegations, claiming that it
was part of an attempt to
assassinate him – GEJ said MEND has been
seeking to kill him even while
he was vice-president of
Nigeria Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, ex-
president of Nigeria has raised an
alarm that his life is under threat
by militants. Jonathan has said that the group
MEND is after his life. In a statement made by his media
aide, Ikechukwu Eze on Sunday
August 7, Jonathan said the list of
sponsors by the splinter group
Reformed Niger Delta Avengers
(RNDA) was political, adding that it was part of an attempt to
assassinate him. The statement read in part: “Since
it is not in our place to speak for
all those named in the obvious
fabrication, we are only
intervening to the extent that its
hidden intent poses a violent threat to the life of former
President Goodluck Jonathan, a
committed patriot. READ ALSO: Enjoy the fastest surfing with UC browser “We are seized by the feeling of
déjà vu occasioned by the
resurrection of one dim character
masquerading as Cynthia Whyte,
who had in the past served as the
spokesperson for a notorious group that had all along shown
its hand to be going after the life
of former President Jonathan.” The former President recalled that
in 2007, after he emerged as the
running mate of the late President
Umar Yar’Adua, the group
invaded Yenogoa in an effort to
assassinate him. He added that the members of the
group later bombed his
compound in Otuoke, Bayelsa
state, on a night he was
scheduled to attend to an
important matter in his country home. “Do we need to remind anybody
that the so-called Cynthia Whyte is
the self-declared spokesperson
for the Movement for the
Emancipation of Niger Delta, a
violent and murderous underground group led by one
Henry Okah, which has not
hidden its intention to destroy the
former President?” Jonathan
stressed. Jonathan said that the list, which
named him and other South-
South leaders as Niger Delta
Avengers sponsors, was another
attempt by the Movement for the
Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND), to eliminate him. According to him, the bombing
that took place on October 1,
2010 at the Eagle Square, Abuja,
showed that the group was
violent. GEJ noted that: “We have no
doubt in our mind that MEND, as a
group contracted to go after
Jonathan with the mind of
assassinating him, has yet to
abandon this criminal and ignominious craving. It is in this
light that we view the purported
statement issued by Cynthia
Whyte as not only a sadistic
continuation of this sick desire,
but also a futile attempt to instigate the Federal Government
to needlessly go after the former
President. “Those who have been following
the unsavoury developments in
some parts of the country since
the last general election would
have noticed that MEND, its
paymasters and other unscrupulous elements in the
South-South region have been
striving fruitlessly to exploit the
ensuing confusion by
surreptitiously working for the
fulfilment of its yet-to-be declared political agenda. “We are not under any illusion
that more accusations and
allegations of this nature would
not be hurled Jonathan’s way in
the future. But we are very
positive that he can never be fazed by such negative energy.” A group, which split from the NDA
– Reformed Niger Delta Avengers
– had named Jonathan as the
grand patron of the NDA. An online medium, Sahara
Reporters, reported that in a
statement by its spokesperson,
Cynthia Whyte, the RNDA also
listed the Rivers State Governor,
Nyesom Wike, and the Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson,
as sponsors of the NDA. Online Jobs For Cash $6.50 Per Survey For Your Opinio

Chief Edwin Clark, a former
Governor of Akwa Ibom State,
Senator Godswill Akpabio; ex-
militant leader, Government
Ekpemupolo (alias Tompolo); the founder, African Independent
Television, Raymond Dokpesi;
Kingsley Kuku; Kimi Angozi, and
Patrick Akpobolokemi. According to Sahara Reporters,
the group said the NDA
sympathisers are Daniel Alabrah;
Tony Uranta, Daniel; Ms. Annkio
Briggs, and a former spokesman for the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), Olisa Metuh. The Reformed Niger Delta
Avengers also named Oyege Nimi
Brown, VIP Timothy, Joshua
Macaiver, Paul Bebenimibo,
among others, as the main
operatives of the NDA. It added that the President of the
Ijaw Youth Council, Udengs
Eradiri, aka Brig. Gen. Murdoch
Agbinibo, served as the NDA’s
chief spokesman. Also, Clark, who spoke through
his lawyer, Mr. Dotun Sowemimo,
wondered why he would be
mentioned as one of the
sponsors of such a heinous crime
against the nation. He said: “The allegation is an
attempt to undermine the efforts
of the Niger Delta leaders to bring
true, lasting peace to the region. “Clark and other leaders in the
region believe in the unity of
Nigeria. The list is a cheap lie,
which is meant to distract the
peace moves by the elders and
leaders in the Niger Delta.” On his part, Wike, who spoke
through his Special Assistant on
Electronic Media, Mr Simeon
Nwakaudu, said the list should be
ignored by the members of the
public. Dokpesi, also distanced himself
from the Niger Delta Avengers.
Dokpesi in an interview with The
Punch on Sunday in Abuja, said
he remained committed to
strengthening the unity and stability of Nigeria. He said, “I don’t know who is
giving that report; I have never
met any member of the NDA in my
life, I have no association with
them and I don’t know who they
are. I have been committed to strengthening the unity and
stability of the country.” Also denying the allegation, Metuh said he had nothing to do
with the NDA. He said: “Ordinarily, I would not have responded to
this, but on this occasion, I have
chosen to respond, as this
particularly borders on matters
affecting national security. “This is a wicked, cruel and
devilish plot to link me with such
activities, especially as the claim is
outright false.’’ A former spokesman for the
Presidential Amnesty Programme,
Mr. Daniel Alabrah, also denied
being a sympathiser of the NDA. Alabrah said in a statement on
Sunday that the report was a
product of mischief designed to
distract the Federal Government
from decisively addressing the
resurgence of militancy in the Niger Delta. The Senate Minority Leader,
Senator Godswill Akpabio, denied
being a sponsor of the Niger Delta
Avengers or any other militant
group. In a statement on Sunday by his
Special Assistant on Media, Mr
Anietie Ekong, the former
Governor of Akwa Ibom state
described the allegation as
“baseless, reckless and senseless.” The statement read in part,
“Senator Akpabio has no link
with the Niger Delta Avengers or
any other militant group for that
matter.’’ Also, a former Adviser to
President Jonathan, on Niger
Delta, Mr Kingsley Kuku, denied reports linking him with the
Avengers. Meanwhile, there are indications
that Goodluck Jonathan is
meeting with militants in the Niger
Delta region in a bid to put an end
to bombing of oil and gas
pipelines. The Guardian reports that a
group, Niger Delta Peace Agenda,
which is based in Bayelsa state,
confirmed that Jonathan was
secretly meeting with militants,
especially the Avengers, and cautioned all Niger Delta militants to listen to the former president
and Ijaw leaders to give peace a
chance in the region.https://www.naij.com/919197-tension-jonathans-life-danger-ex-president-cries.html?source=index_main

Crime / Troops Destroy Militant Camps In Lagos, Ogun Recovers Ammunition, Other by hayormakaay(m): 11:03am On Aug 08, 2016
The military over the weekend made giant strides in their ongoing efforts to rid South West of suspected militants attacking Lagos and Ogun State communities. The ground troops who moved into the creeks after the Nigerian Air Force bombed the camps destroyed about ninety-seven enclaves of the militants and recovered three laptops, expended magazines, an AK47 rifle and police and military uniforms. It was gathered that pictures and a register containing names of suspected militants were also recovered. A source close to the operation, who didn’t want to be quoted because he is not authorised to speak to the media, said stench of decomposing bodies filled some of the camps, although no bodies were found. He described this as an indication that many of the militants might have been killed from the air strikes, noting that the fleeing militants might have taken the bodies of their men. “The recovered items will aid the investigation by the DSS and enable them to go after and apprehend the suspects,” said the source who added that the recovery of the pictures and names of the suspects in a register; shows that they are organised and that they usually signed in and out. “In one of the registers there are about 450 names on it. He added that “the police and army uniforms found had no names on them. We saw a lot of personal effects and I can tell you that the militants suffered casualties because of the stench coming out of the camps.” it was also learnt that the profiling of the arrested 11 suspects is ongoing. One of the revelations is that four of them have been identified as Ilaje, a development that corroborates claims from certain quarters that the gunmen were not from any particular ethnic·http://www.informationng.com/2016/08/troops-destroy-militant-camps-in-lagos-ogun-recovers-ammunition-other-items.html?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter

Crime / FG To Prosecute Nine Ekiti Lawmakers For Certificate Forgery by hayormakaay(m): 7:27am On Jul 25, 2016

According to reports by Punch, the decision was based on intensive investigation by Nigeria’s secret police, DSS, who had carried out the investigation into the credentials submitted by the politicians to the Independent National Electoral Commission during the last general elections. “We have investigated the academic credentials of the lawmakers based on petitions sent to us by the politicians in the state. “The petitions were based on alleged false declaration of academic qualifications and alleged age falsification in the papers presented to the INEC. “We have been able to know that petitions against nine members of the State House of Assembly are genuine. We have already presented our report and we are expecting the office of the AGF to study it and prepare the charges against the suspects,” a source was quoted. Also, security agencies reportedly planning to reopen the murder cases of three prominent sons of the state.

Rapid Vienna 2-0 Chelsea: Blues downed in Conte's first game
Jul 16, 2016 18:53:00
The Italian coach oversaw his first game in charge of the Premier League side, but goals from Joelinton and Tomi Correa saw the Austrians emerge victorious
Chelsea started the Antonio Conte era with a disappointing 2-0 pre-season friendly defeat at Rapid Vienna on Saturday.
The Italian was chosen as the full-time successor to Jose Mourinho, who was sacked in December, with Guus Hiddink having led Chelsea to a 10th-place finish as interim boss during a disappointing Premier League title defence last season.
The former Italy boss, lacking several first-team regulars due to their participation at Euro 2016, witnessed his side make a losing start to his tenure, though, as goals in either half from Joelinton and Tomi Correa saw Rapid celebrate the opening of their new Allianz Stadion in style.
Asmir Begovic had already made a smart save low to his left from Philipp Schobesberger by the time Rapid moved in front.

Onazi stars as Bayern Munich humiliate Barcelona 16-1 in Champions League
The Nigerian midfielder was in superb form as he orchestrated the Bavarians’ drubbing of the Blaugrana at the Allianz Arena on wednesday
Bayern Munich decimated Barcelona 16-1 in a Uefa Champions League game.
Well, this can only happen in a video game as Ogenyi Onazi showed his dexterity in virtual football by teaching popular Nigeria comedian, Funnybone a harsh lesson.
The Lazio midfielder playing with the German Bundelsiga outfit got the better of Barcelona in the one sided encounter that saw the Bavarians have 30 shots on target against the Blaugrana’s solitary two.
Barcelona’s goalkeeper was forced to make 15 saves while Bayern Munich’s shot-stopper was called to action just once.
Though Funnybone admitted he was not feeling fine, the smile on the face of Onazi showed he was a master of gaming.

Crime / The Most Powerful Drug Lord El Chapo Breaks Out Of Prison For The Third T by hayormakaay(m): 8:47am On Jul 08, 2016
The head of the Sinaloa Cartel, Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán is widely regarded as the most powerful drug lord in the world. He was first arrested in 1993 and then broke out of prison and spent many years on the run before he was rearrested in his hometown several years later. El Chapo was back in the limelight in July 11, 2015 after escaping a Mexican maximum security prison through an almost 1km long tunnel which ran from beneath his prison cell. El Chapo was eventually recaptured and Mexican authorities had even approved his extradition to the United States. Unfortunately, El Chapo had other plans. He broke out of the Altiplano Maximum Security prison in the early hours of Thursday. A Mexican prison official said “This escape plot was even more calculated than his previous escape. It was very well planned. He pretty much just walked out of the prison undetected and have no idea where he is now. I think it was being planned and put in place while El Chapo was on the run several months ago, just in case he was captured and put back in the same prison. He’s a smart man with plenty of resources.” A Mexican daily reports on how he escaped; “A small corner wall was slowly replaced with a balsa wood paneling with stucco plastering attached with hinges. Over the past six months it was installed and made to look and feel like a legitimate cinder block wall, but with little effort would shatter if the hinges failed to swing open. With the false wall, El Chapo simply walked out of prison to a waiting Jeep that drove him to a helicopter several miles away. The wall was put back in place by El Chapo’s as he broke out, but was left ajar just a few millimeters. An hour later, a guard noticed the discrepancy. El Chapo’s cell camera, which monitored the kingpin twenty- four hours a day, seven days a week, was hacked, repeating a loop of a sleeping El Chapo for several hours. We are told it still shows El Chapo sleeping and the technician can’t fix the camera to show a live feed.”

Argentina and Barcelona
footballer Lionel Messi has been
sentenced to 21 months in prison
for tax fraud. His father, Jorge Messi, was also
given a jail term for defrauding Spain
of €4.1m (£3.5m; $4.5m) between
2007 and 2009. They also face millions of euros in
fines for using tax havens in Belize
and Uruguay used to conceal earnings
from image rights. However, neither man is expected to
serve time in jail. Under the Spanish system, prison
terms under two years can be served
under probation. The footballer and his father were
found guilty of three counts of tax
fraud in Wednesday's ruling by the
court in Barcelona. Messi was fined about €2m and his
father €1.5m. More on Lionel Messi: 'I knew nothing', Messi tells court Messi retires from international football Is Messi best of all time? How Messi reached his 500-goal milestone During the trial, Lionel Messi insisted

Politics / Ben Murray-bruce, Common Sense Or Hypocrisy? by hayormakaay(m): 4:32pm On Jun 23, 2016
Senator Ben Murray-Bruce,
representing Bayelsa East
senatorial district is
always in the news trying
to make common sense. However the social media
savvy senator did not make
much of what he preaches as
the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria
(AMCON) on Thursday, June
23, took over three companies belonging to him and his
family. Senator Bruce said it is
possible to fight corruption and
grow the economy at the same
time The assets are being seized
following the failure of Bruce
and his brothers to settle an
N11bn loan owed Union Bank
and acquired by AMCON. Bruce and his brothers used
the companies as collateral in
2005 and 2007 to borrow
various sums of money from
the Union Bank of Nigeria Plc
and failed to pay back as promised which is long
overdue. AMCON purchased
the loan in 2011 to save the
bank from collapsing. AMCON takes over
Silverbird properties The companies affected by
the takeover are Silverbird
Galleria Limited, Silverbird
Promotions Limited, and
Silverbird Showtime Limited. READ ALSO: AMCON: 5 things that will happen to Ben
Bruce businesses AMCON had, by notice of
appointment dated April 18
appointed Muiz Banire as
Receiver/Manager over the
sprawling assets of the three
companies located at 133 Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria
Island, Lagos, Plot No 1161
(Silverbird Galleria); Central
Area Cadastral Zone AOO,
Abuja; and Abonnema Wharf
Road and Abali Park in Port Harcourt City of Rivers State. The takeover followed the
interim orders granted by
Justice Cecilia Olatoregun-
Ishola of the Federal High
Court, Lagos, on June 17
which allowed the receiver/ manager to take possession
of the said properties. The properties were seen
locked up by the agents of the
receiver/manager in an
exercise carried out under the
supervision of men of the
Nigerian police as directed by the Court order. When AMCON realized Bruce
was not ready to pay back the
money, a receiver/manager
was appointed the to recover
the loan. Commonsense or
hypocrisy As a Senator of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria, Nigerians
would question the
commonsense in owing so
much money when the senator
receives huge allowance as wardrobe perks. This is even
more so when he comes on
social media to preach
commonsense revolution and
act holier than thou. One
would have thought he use part of the his allowance to
pay up his debt. So much for
commonsense indeed! A senator in Nigeria reportedly
earns N12,939,549 million in salaries and allowances per
annum. Bruce had called for reduction
in allowances of members of
the National Assembly which
received widespread
commendation. A number of lawmakers
followed suit, giving support to
Bruce’s proposal. But no such
reduction in emoluments have
so far been effected. Ben Bruce reacts to
AMCON attack The common sense advocate
in a swift reaction to the
incident said the situation is
being resolved and things will
be back to normal. Senator Bruce said in 36
years, Silverbird has grown
and it will face challenges like
anybody, adding that it is
possible to fight corruption and
grow the economy at the same time. Bruce, who is not happy with
the poor state of the Nigerian
economy, said President
Muhammadu Buhari’s
administration was more
concerned about fighting corruption and is not paying
attention to what’s going on
with the nation’s economy. Some of the Bayelsa state
senator’s followers in reaction
said he was right. Others even
asked him to hide because
they will soon come for him
like they have done with other people criticising the
government. Ben Bruce the social media
critique Ben Bruce, unlike the Ekiti
state governor, Ayodele
Fayose and Fani-Kayode
applies tact and subtlety in his
criticism of President
Muhammadu Buhari’s administration. Most times he takes to the
social media platform, to voice
his dissenting views of the
policies of the government in
power. READ ALSO: Nigerians blast Ben Bruce after AMCON
attack He focuses more on the
promises made by the Buhari-
led All Progressives Congress
during the election and how
the party has continually failed
to live up to them. The senator however said he
never criticizes anyone but he
raises good government and
policy issues as a way of
driving change. “I have not criticised any
government. I have not
criticised APC. I have not
criticised PDP. I have not
criticised Goodluck
Jonathan, neither have I criticised Muhammadu
Buhari. I have raised good
government issues and
policy issues,” he said. Some people have wondered
why the senator has not
spoken until now. Bruce said
he had always spoken about
these issues. “These are issues that I
have raised all my life.
Maybe these people on
social media have just
discovered Ben Bruce but,
go and check the speeches I made two
years ago, three years ago,
twenty years ago, even in

Politics / Ben Murray-bruce, Common Sense Or Hypocrisy? by hayormakaay(m): 4:22pm On Jun 23, 2016
Senator Ben Murray-Bruce,
representing Bayelsa East
senatorial district is
always in the news trying
to make common sense. However the social media
savvy senator did not make
much of what he preaches as
the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria
(AMCON) on Thursday, June
23, took over three companies belonging to him and his
family. Senator Bruce said it is
possible to fight corruption and
grow the economy at the same
time The assets are being seized
following the failure of Bruce
and his brothers to settle an
N11bn loan owed Union Bank
and acquired by AMCON. Bruce and his brothers used
the companies as collateral in
2005 and 2007 to borrow
various sums of money from
the Union Bank of Nigeria Plc
and failed to pay back as promised which is long
overdue. AMCON purchased
the loan in 2011 to save the
bank from collapsing. AMCON takes over
Silverbird properties The companies affected by
the takeover are Silverbird
Galleria Limited, Silverbird
Promotions Limited, and
Silverbird Showtime Limited. READ ALSO: AMCON: 5 things that will happen to Ben
Bruce businesses AMCON had, by notice of
appointment dated April 18
appointed Muiz Banire as
Receiver/Manager over the
sprawling assets of the three
companies located at 133 Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria
Island, Lagos, Plot No 1161
(Silverbird Galleria); Central
Area Cadastral Zone AOO,
Abuja; and Abonnema Wharf
Road and Abali Park in Port Harcourt City of Rivers State. The takeover followed the
interim orders granted by
Justice Cecilia Olatoregun-
Ishola of the Federal High
Court, Lagos, on June 17
which allowed the receiver/ manager to take possession
of the said properties. The properties were seen
locked up by the agents of the
receiver/manager in an
exercise carried out under the
supervision of men of the
Nigerian police as directed by the Court order. When AMCON realized Bruce
was not ready to pay back the
money, a receiver/manager
was appointed the to recover
the loan. Commonsense or
hypocrisy As a Senator of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria, Nigerians
would question the
commonsense in owing so
much money when the senator
receives huge allowance as wardrobe perks. This is even
more so when he comes on
social media to preach
commonsense revolution and
act holier than thou. One
would have thought he use part of the his allowance to
pay up his debt. So much for
commonsense indeed! A senator in Nigeria reportedly
earns N12,939,549 million in salaries and allowances per
annum. Bruce had called for reduction
in allowances of members of
the National Assembly which
received widespread
commendation. A number of lawmakers
followed suit, giving support to
Bruce’s proposal. But no such
reduction in emoluments have
so far been effected. Ben Bruce reacts to
AMCON attack The common sense advocate
in a swift reaction to the
incident said the situation is
being resolved and things will
be back to normal. Senator Bruce said in 36
years, Silverbird has grown
and it will face challenges like
anybody, adding that it is
possible to fight corruption and
grow the economy at the same time. Bruce, who is not happy with
the poor state of the Nigerian
economy, said President
Muhammadu Buhari’s
administration was more
concerned about fighting corruption and is not paying
attention to what’s going on
with the nation’s economy. Some of the Bayelsa state
senator’s followers in reaction
said he was right. Others even
asked him to hide because
they will soon come for him
like they have done with other people criticising the
government. Ben Bruce the social media
critique Ben Bruce, unlike the Ekiti
state governor, Ayodele
Fayose and Fani-Kayode
applies tact and subtlety in his
criticism of President
Muhammadu Buhari’s administration. Most times he takes to the
social media platform, to voice
his dissenting views of the
policies of the government in
power. READ ALSO: Nigerians blast Ben Bruce after AMCON
attack He focuses more on the
promises made by the Buhari-
led All Progressives Congress
during the election and how
the party has continually failed
to live up to them. The senator however said he
never criticizes anyone but he
raises good government and
policy issues as a way of
driving change. “I have not criticised any
government. I have not
criticised APC. I have not
criticised PDP. I have not
criticised Goodluck
Jonathan, neither have I criticised Muhammadu
Buhari. I have raised good
government issues and
policy issues,” he said. Some people have wondered
why the senator has not
spoken until now. Bruce said
he had always spoken about
these issues. “These are issues that I
have raised all my life.
Maybe these people on
social media have just
discovered Ben Bruce but,
go and check the speeches I made two
years ago, three years ago,
twenty years ago, even in
front of President
Goodluck Jonathan to
ascertain whether they are different from what I am
saying now; maybe they
just discovered me. Go on
youtube and see my
speeches,” he said. Hopefully this serves as
lesson to politicians so they
practice what they preach.

Crime / Military Stole N70m Cash, Mastermind Bunkering In Niger Delta - Gbaramatu Chief by hayormakaay(m): 3:32pm On Jun 21, 2016
Chief Sheriff Mulade, a
community chief in
Gbaramatu kingdom, in
Warri South council area of
Delta state, has accused
the top hierarchy of the Nigerian military of being
the masterminds behind oil
bunkering in the Niger
Delta region. Mulade, who is the chairman
of the Kokodiagbene
community in the kingdom,
spoke to our reporter when NAIJ.com recently undertook a three-day investigation in the
creeks of the Niger Delta into
issues concerning the
continuing military occupation
of the area. Mulade said that the military
stole over N70m in cash from
the palace of the kingdom, and
stole precious objects and
valuables from the kingdom. Chief Sheriff Mulade, a
community chief in Gbaramatu
kingdom, in Warri South
council area of Delta state, He said that when the military
swooped on the community,
the people scampered into the
forest, allowing the military to
have a field day in the
kingdom, invading the palace and stealing anything available
in the community on sight. “Who is perpetuating illegal
bunkering in the Niger
Delta? As an authoritative
voice in Gbaramatu and
chairman of Kokodiagbene
community, I can tell you that the security agents
are the perpetrators of
illegal bunkering in the
region. “Every five to 10
kilometres there is security
outpost. There is security
gunboat on patrol
everywhere. But in
between the gunboats and security outpost, there is
illegal bunkering going on.
The young men doing it are
stooges, they are errand
boys to the soldiers, they
are looking for daily bread. “Do you think those village
boys can hire vessels? Do
you know how much it
takes to hire vessels? Do
you know much for hiring
local cotonou boats? They are owned by the military
hierarchy. “If a junior officer arrests
any of those boys, they will
have superior call from
senior officers, saying
‘leave that one: it belongs
to commodore this, commandant that and
brigadier general this and
that’. Then those of us who
stand against them
become targets.” READ ALSO: Feature: How Nigerians abuse pedestrian
bridges On the issue of theft, Mulade
said: “The soldiers stole N70m cash from our
palace. We are not saying
it because they invaded
our community. This is
cash kept for the
construction of our palace. If you visit Okporoza, our
palace is under
construction. Chief Sheriff Mulade “This is the palace that all
the communities in
Gbaramatu kingdom are
paying royalties to. We are
all building the palace
collectively. And the money meant for the
palace building was the
money stolen by the
military when they raided
the community in May.
They also stole valuables from the community worth
hundreds of millions and
went away with them. “The money stolen was
meant for the kingdom not
for individuals. We all
mopped up the cash to see
that we speed up the
building, which is why we have not crowned the new
king of the kingdom. If
anybody says we are
exaggerating the figure,
that person is lying. “The valuable goods stolen
are worth millions of naira.
There are tools,
electronics and palace
gadgets. The military went
away with all of them and left our community naked.” In partial confirmation of
Mulade’s allegations, our
correspondent who visited the
community on a fact-finding
mission saw the expansive
palace grounds under construction, but also saw that
the recent military occupation
had seemingly caused the
people to abandon the
construction, as 90 per cent of
buildings in the community were abandoned when
NAIJ.com visited Okporoza. All efforts to get reactions
from the Military proved
abortive.
Politics / Why Fayose’s Bank Account Frozen,efcc Sources Reveal by hayormakaay(m): 10:52pm On Jun 20, 2016
Source at Nigeria's
premier anti-corruption agency, the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) have revealed that a
personal account at the
Zenith Bank of Nigeria of Ekiti
State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, was frozen in
connection with over
N1.2billion he took in 2014
from the disgraced National
Security Adviser (NSA),
Sambo Dasuki, to prosecute his re-election as governor. Several of the operatives said
the action came at the end of
agency’s year-long
investigation into the matter. Our sources claim Mr. Fayose
received huge sums of money
from the office of the NSA
that was meant for arms
procurement, with which he
meticulously bribed security officials and voters to get into
the Ekiti governorship for the
second time. At least three security
agencies which investigated
the fraud found that the
governor stole monies meant
for national security, and
deposited them into his personal account.
N500m was traced to the
now-frozen Zenith Bank
account. The Nigerian Army

Nairaland / General / Civilian JTF Kill 2 Suicide Bombers Near CBN Quarters by hayormakaay(m): 4:34pm On Jun 17, 2016
– Civilian JTF intercepted two suicide bombers in Maiduguri – The terrorists were shot dead before they could detonate the bomb that was strapped to their bodies – The army has condoned off the area The onslaught against Boko Haram terrorists has continued to yield positive result as two suicide bombers were shot dead by members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (JTF). According to Sahara Reporters, the two male suicide bombers strapped IEDs to their bodies and stormed Kusari area near CBN Staff Quarters in Maiduguri this morning, Friday, June 17. However, they were gunned down before they could detonate the bomb. Massa Umaru who is a member of Civilian JTF who participated in the operation said the suicide bombers were likely targeting early morning prayers at a nearby mosque. The bombers were reportedly queried by the vigilante elders when they sighted them but instead of responding to question, they fled. Umaru said: “Our elders sighted them in our community roaming around, so they called them and tried to know their identities because their faces were strange to us. Instead, they started running, and we pursued them, shot and killed them. There were IEDs wrapped on their bodies that did not yet explode “We thank Allah for saving us from the evil men that had wanted to wreak havoc on residents of Maiduguri. It could have been deadly if they hit their target,” Troops of the Nigerian army have condoned the area while stability is being restored.
