I didn't hear any threat of killing there. In fact that warning is more innocent than the dog and baboon bloody fest I heard from someone else.

kcnwaigbo:
My dear you have nothing on Wike!! Either get a video or forget about this simulated audio

kcnwaigbo:
So reposting the news makes it more legitimate or what?

JimiOgunlola:
There are softwares that can be used to clone a person's voice for blackmail. We all know APC can go any lenght to clone and stage manage wike's voice in order to steal sympathy after they were caught ON Video beating up Inec officials.

MrPristine:
This is a gross arrogant display of ignorance for you to assume that anyone that criticize Buhari is a Jonathan supporter. I do not in anyway support Jonathan's disastrous regime that was notorious for looting our economy. However that does not take away the fact that Buhari has a lot of short comings especially were the economy is concerned. Buhari's economic policy direction is almost none existent neither as he deemed it fit to put a crack economic team in place to steer the country out of this mess. Rather his indecision based on his cluelessness is causing panic with the resultant effect being capital flight and undue pressure on the naira. I put it to you that as we speak this government is yet to take any decisive action that will stimulate the economy and enhance growth even after being in power for sixteen months and this does not promote confidence in the economy.

What does Ameachi know about peace?.
After creating an unrest in Rivers that led to the death of some gullible youths, he's now a peace talk initiator.

Keep deceiving your followers, not me.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission says it is heading to court to file an application seeking the total forfeiture of $15,591,700, belonging to former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan.
The money is currently lodged in the Skye Bank account of four companies: Pluto Property and Investment Company Limited; Seagate Property Development & Investment Company Limited; Trans Ocean Property and Investment Company Limited and Avalon Global Property Development Company Limited.

The EFCC had frozen the four accounts, which were linked to a former Special Adviser to the President on Domestic Affairs, Waripamowei Dudafa.

However, Jonathan’s wife had claimed in a sworn affidavit that the money in the four accounts belonged to her even though there is no paper evidence to establish a link between her and the companies.

She also urged the court to compel the EFCC to lift the restriction on the accounts.

The EFCC had arraigned the four companies on Thursday and the companies pleaded guilty to money laundering charges.

Punch quoted a senior EFCC official as saying that the commission would subsequently apply for the total forfeiture of the funds.

“The four companies, in whose accounts the monies were lodged, have pleaded guilty to money laundering. We are therefore filing an application, seeking the complete and total forfeiture of the money to the Federal Government.

“The $15,591,700 should go (be deposited in) into the Treasury Single Account of the Federal Government of Nigeria,” Punch quoted the EFCC source as saying.

On Thursday, the four accused companies pleaded guilty to conspiring with Dudafa; a lawyer, Amajuoyi Briggs; and a banker, Adedamola Bolodeoku, to launder the sum of $15, 591,700 on or about November 13, 2013.

The EFCC, while arraigning the seven accused persons before a Federal High Court in Lagos on Thursday, admitted to the court that the $15.6m were proceeds of theft.

Though Dudafa, Briggs and Bolodeoku pleaded not guilty to the amended 15 counts pressed against them by the EFCC, the four companies, charged along with them, owned up to committing the offence.

The guilty plea was entered on behalf of Pluto, Seagate, Trans Ocean and Avalon by one Friday Davies, Agbo Baro, Bioghowri Frederick and Taiwo Ebenezer, respectively.

The EFCC had since frozen the $15.6m found in the four companies’ accounts with Skye Bank Plc by placing a ‘No Debit Order’ on the four accounts.

But Patience had filed a fundamental rights enforcement suit against the EFCC and the bank, claiming that the money, which the EFCC said were proceeds of theft, belonged to her.

Patience is also seeking damages against Skye Bank in the sum of N200m for what she termed a violation of her right to own personal property under Section 44 of the 1999 Constitution.

But Patience’s suit against the EFCC and Skye Bank has yet to be heard by any judge.

However, the EFCC arraigned Dudafa, Briggs, Bolodeoku and the four companies before Justice Babs Kuewumi on Thursday for money laundering and conspiring to retain proceeds of theft.

The EFCC also alleged that the seven accused persons conspired to forge Skye Bank mandate cards, purporting that they were signed by Friday Davies, Kola Fredrick, Taiwo Ebenezer and Agbo Baro, to prejudice Skye Bank in their bid to launder the $15.6m.

They were also accused of forging a Wema Bank Corporate Account mandate card, purporting that it was signed by Taiwo Ebenezer and Chima John to prejudice Wema Bank.

The Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested 50 suspected militants in Rivers State and destroyed 15 illegal refineries in different locations in Niger Delta.

NSCDC’s Commandant General (CG) Abdullahi Muhammadu said the suspects were arrested last Wednesday night during a special operation by the corps operatives in the state.

Muhammadu told reporters in Abuja that the suspects were being screened and profiled as part of investigations to know their level of culpability in pipeline bombings and vandalism in the region.
The NSCDC chief said those indicted during investigators would be prosecuted for economic sabotage.

He said: “As at yesterday (Wednesday), 15 illegal refineries were destroyed and 50 militants were arrested. But we need to screen them to know those who would be charged to court because they are many: fifty of them, just in a night.”

Muhammadu said the mandate of the corps had been extended beyond pipeline and critical infrastructure protection to include security for dams, agro-allied businesses, farms and ranches across the country.
He said 2,000 NSCDC operatives were participating in counter-insurgency operations in the Northeast, adding that 2,700 others were undergoing training for deployment in the region.

The NSCDC chief said he had received requests for deployment of NSCDC personnel from various corporations, including the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), Ministry of Agriculture, National Agricultural Seed Council and Ministry of Water Resources.

Muhammadu said the Minister of Interior, Lt.-Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau (retd.) had requested from the Presidency the permission to recruit additional operatives into the corps to enable it discharge its responsibility more effectively.

The NSCDC chief complained about inadequate financial allocation, urging the Federal Government to allow security agencies to maintain an account for their operations.

Muhammadu, who expressed appreciation to NSCDC officers for providing security during the Eid-el-Kabir celebration, added: “I am happy with the pro-activeness and doggedness of all of you in tackling insecurity during this year’s Eid-el-Kabir celebration. I pray that you keep it up at all times to justify the mandate of the corps.”

The NSCDC chief pledged that the corps planned to do a lot, especially in protecting critical infrastructure.
According to him, the get-rich syndrome among youths during the “ember” months had been very high because they failed to celebrate Christmas festival in line with the Christian doctrine.

Rather, Muhammadu said youths had taken to crimes to get rich fast and become overnight celebrities.
He said as security operatives, there is need for NSCDC officers to plan its modus operandi to avert crimes and reduce such vices.

The NSCDC chief said there was no rift between the management and the officers, adding that all should be wary of those he called mischief makers who were promoting misinformation.

He said: “The NSCDC is one big happy family. We should not give room to evil-minded persons to bring in sentiments or cause division in the house, which they want to build through campaigns of calumny.”
Muhammadu advised departmental and unit heads to always inform their officers on developments to avoid rumours and speculation.

ISpiksDaTroof:
What the hell is it with Nigerians and "I LIVE IN THE STATES" every time I mention the deplorable state of YOUR BIRTH COUNTRY?! YOU ARE NOT AMERICAN even if you got naturalized and granted citizenship.

Now try again.

And stop comparing the United States to Nigeria in terms of corruption. And like I told your last buddy the other day: IF YOU DONT LIKE IT OUT HERE, FEEL FREE TO RETURN TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM.

P.S: I noticed you deceitfully ignored the electricity part of my post, concentrated on roads and water (which you dont have but claim to) and replaced it with "etc"

One day you will learn how to stop deceiving yourselves.

ISpiksDaTroof:
You don't have good roads, clean water, or electricity.

I was born and raised in the US. I have first hand experience unlike you so don't lecture me about how good YOU think it is here.

Most Americans usually live to be at least 80yrs old. From the day they were born, till the day they die they NEVER witness a single second of power outage and not once did they encounter a single cop openly and shamelessly soliciting for bribes.
Power outages happen quite frequently especially in the rural areas outside of Metropolitan areas, especially during hurricane season. But you ignorantly assume America is perfect and there's no issues here. Wrong again. Cops don't take bribes on the road they steal confiscated drug busts and extort private businesses for protection. Common occurrence in cities like NYC and Chicago (Where I live) but I wouldn't expect a layman like you to know such things.
You really want to compare American society to yours?! Don't even try it.
Having lived both places I can tell you there's good and bad in both places. But in regards to Corruption America is king.

i believe the Russians rather than the Americans. but wait did England abandon us after colonization?

A civil rights organisation, Africa Network for Environment and Economic Justice, has raised the alarm that two companies based in Switzerland, Vitol and Trafigura, are allegedly engaged in the importation of dirty fuel to Nigeria.

The ANEEJ advised the government to “work closely with the National Assembly and help to activate all environmental laws that will check the illegitimate business activities of Vitol and Trafigura.”

The Executive Director, ANEEJ, Rev. David Ugolor, at a press briefing in Abuja on Thursday, challenged the Federal Government to pay serious attention to the dangers posed to the health of the citizens by the development.

He also suggested that there should be an increase in the oversight function of regulatory bodies like the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency, while a task force should be set up in the West African sub-region to embark on a massive enlightenment on dirty fuel.

Ugolor alleged that foreign companies “take undue advantage of weak fuel standards in Africa to produce, deliver and sell diesel, Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) and gasoline, which damage the health of the people.”

He alleged that the business model of the Swiss firms relied on an illegitimate strategy of deliberately lowering the quality of fuels for gain.

Ugolor said, “Using a common industry practice called blending, Vitol and Trafigura and their conglomerates mix cheap and toxic intermediate petroleum products to produce what the industry calls African quality fuel.”

According to him, these products contain higher levels of sulphur and other harmful poisons that can never be found in Europe and the United States. By selling such fuels and diesels at the pump in Africa, the traders increase external air pollution, causing respiratory diseases and premature deaths.

He said, “We all know that poor air quality poses serious risks to public health. As air quality declines, the risk of stroke, heart diseases, lung cancer, and chronic and acute respiratory diseases increases for residents of cities where the people rely on diesel to power their means of production.

“It is impossible to continue to remain silent about this problem, especially for the short and long-term repercussions on the health and economy of our people.

“Therefore, the ANEEJ, an NGO strong in the areas of anti-corruption, environment, poverty alleviation and good governance, in collaboration with a Swiss NGO, the Public Eye, formerly the Berne Declaration, have carried out this campaign against dirty fuels in the West African sub-region with the intention to address it.”
