I have updated Tecno several times

Former Governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori, on Wednesday, paid a condolence visit to the family of his longtime friend and political ally, late Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha in Amassoma, Bayelsa State.

Ibori was still serving his jail term in the United Kingdom for fraud when Alamieyeseigha, the pioneer civilian governor of Bayelsa, died on October 10, 2015, of high blood pressure related ailment at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Rivers State.

The ex-Delta governor was accompanied on the visit by political leaders and stakeholders from Delta State, including the Speaker of Delta State House of Assembly, Mr. Monday Igbuya.

Ibori described Alamieyeseigha as a patriotic leader who was very courageous and outspoken and stood on the side of his people at all times.

He said he was devastated ‎when news of his death got to him in the United Kingdom as they both shared a common ideology and relationship which was very deep.

He added that Alamieyeseigha, until his demise, fought against oppression and evil which ultimately led to his untimely death.

While sympathizing with the family of the departed Alamieyeseigha, fondly called the Governor-General of the Ijaw nation during his heyday, Ibori urged them to take solace in the fact that he (Alams) was a good man who will forever be remembered by his legacies and also ”the reality that what he believed in will not die.”

Ibori, who equally took the time to visit the graveside of the departed Alamieyeseigha assured the family that he would always remember and stand by them as their father and son would have done same for his family.

Ibori had earlier visited Governor Seriake Dickson at the Government House in Yenagoa where he also expressed his sympathy to the government and people of the state over the death of their first civilian governor.

According to him, the visit was to appreciate Dickson for immortalising ‎the foremost Ijaw hero by renaming the Government House banquet hall after him and for pushing forward his noble ideas of governance and strong agitation for rights of people of Ijaw and Niger Delta.
Ibori said, “I take solace in the fact that having met you, I am encouraged that indeed the flag only flew half mast for a couple of days and after that, the flag is flying again.

“Thank you for playing your bit to immortalise him. He may have left us but his spirit is still with us”.

In his remarks, Dickson said the visit was solemn but historic and thanked Ibori for his thoughtfulness to visit the family which emphasised the brotherliness that existed between him and the late former governor.

Dickson, who called on people of the Niger Delta to stop betraying their leaders, noted that both Alamieyeseigha and Ibori were victims of the Niger Delta struggle, which was as a result of their campaign for resource control and fiscal federalism.

The governor said, “‎We have done enough when it comes to betraying, sabotaging and pulling down one another especially our leaders.

Nobody in this nation will build and sustain leaders for us, we have to build our leaders, support and encourage them.

”So I think the time has come for us in the Niger Delta to turn a new leaf and learn from others”.

Crazy analysis , is he son of God ? Father son and spirit ?

Jewelnutch:
Three bullets? One shot from his alive hand, the other from his soul's hand, then the last from his ghost's hand.

Does anyone feel this is an assassination ?

The Fleet Commander, Western Naval Command, Apapa, Lagos State, Rear Admiral Daniel Ikoli, has allegedly shot himself dead in his residence in the Apapa area.

It was learnt that a service pistol, expended and live ammunition, were recovered at the scene by police detectives who visited the residence.

It was gathered that he lived with his house boy. His wife stays in Abuja, while his children are schooling abroad.

PUNCH Metro gathered that the commander, a member of the presidential committee investigating the $15bn arms deal, left his office on Tuesday around 1pm, on the grounds that he was ill.

Around 5am on Wednesday, the house boy reportedly heard a gunshot from his room. On getting to the spot, he found him dead and raised the alarm.

A source close to Okoli disclosed to our correspondent that he had been managing depression and an ailment for some time, adding that it was not impossible that he committed suicide.

The source, however, did not disclose the nature of the ailment.

He said, “He was Commander, Nigerian Navy Ship BEECROFT, and was later appointed into the presidential committee that probed the arms deal. He was very lively and intelligent.

“But for some time now, he had been battling an illness and had lost weight. He had also become reserved lately, which was unlike him. He usually complained about the high dollar rate and unavailability of foreign exchange because he had children studying abroad.

“He left the office on Tuesday afternoon after complaining that he was not feeling fine. I was shocked this morning when I learnt he shot himself.”

Another source stated that bullets hit Okoli on the chest and he bled to death, adding that three expended bullets were found in his apartment.

He said, “The house boy said he heard a gunshot and was alarmed. He later went into Okoli’s room and found him in a pool of blood. His wife is in Abuja and his children school abroad. His aides usually leave after taking him home from office.

“Three bullets were seen in the room. No one can really tell what happened.

“He was a nice and intelligent officer. He was the one who spearheaded the renovations of BEECROFT when he was the commander.”

However, an officer, who claimed to have worked with the commander, said he usually expressed worries about the possibility of assassins going after him as a result of his membership of the presidential committee.

A competent source disclosed to PUNCH Metro that 17 rounds of 9mm live ammunition and three expended shells were recovered at the scene.

“A CZ 999 Scorpion Pistol, B/no. 17111 was also found. No suicide note was found. His corpse has been deposited in the Nigeria Navy Reference Hospital,” the source added.

The spokesperson for the Western Naval Command, Lieutenant Commander Chinwe Umar, said in a statement tagged, ‘Domestic Accident Involving a Naval Officer,’ that the cause of Ikoli’s death had yet to be known, adding that the police had commenced investigation into the case.

It said, “In the early hours of Wednesday, April 5, 2017, gunshots were heard in the vicinity where Rear Admiral Teikumo Daniel Ikoli resided in Apapa, Lagos. When his room was opened, he was found dead.

“Police have been invited and investigation is ongoing. When the situation is clearer, an update will be given.”

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, said investigation had commenced, adding that the deceased had been deposited in a mortuary for autopsy.

He said, “We are investigating the incident to get a clearer picture. Either murder or suicide, we sympathise with the Nigerian Navy as we carry out investigations into the incident.”

This is nonsense

Please no insults or Tribal war , as Nigerians , our opinion counts

Tweet Pin it +1
Chief Rafiu Balogun, Malachy Ugwumadu
Now we are in the era of people coming out to speak the truth. It is better that any issue that comes up at this time should be properly investigated and adequately handled. General Ishaya Bamaiyi’s book, ‘The Vindication of A General’ has raised some issues. It should be properly investigated because there is no difference between handling the issues he raised and the ongoing probe of issues of corruption perpetrated in the past. That we have found courage to revisit those things that happened in the past makes it incumbent on government to reopen this case and find out what really happened to Chief MKO Abiola. What Bamaiyi said in his book concerning Abiola’s death is like bringing a petition to the court of public opinion. It should be investigated so that Nigerians, especially members of his family, will know what happened to him. Even within security circles, there is what they call declassification of reports. Security reports are declassified from time to time and made public. It will be good for government to revisit this issue because Nigerians deserve to know the truth in the spirit of openness and transparency. As Nigerians, it is important for us to know what transpired. It is important for the police to thoroughly investigate it irrespective of what is contained in this or any other petition about the dark era in Nigeria’s history. I believe when this is done, it will help us all heal properly and put in place measures to prevent a repeat of such ugly incidents in the future. •Senator Emmanuel Anosike (Former Senator representing Anambra North)

Yes, in the interest of justice, Chief MKO Abiola’s case should be reopened. Apart from that, all similar cases should also be revisited. I support that the circumstances which led to Abiola’s death should be revisited. It is the only way we can help to prevent similar incidents in the future.

The circumstance that led to Chief MKO Abiola’s death was most unfortunate. The general opinion was that he won that election and there has been no evidence to prove to the contrary. If Abiola did not win, why did they kill him as alleged?

In carrying out an inquiry, the Federal Government should not care whose ox is gored. You cannot achieve justice if you take selective decisions on criminal cases. Any government worth its salt will pursue such a case to a logical conclusion. •Professor Kimse Okoko, (Chairman, Committee of Pro-Chancellors, Federal Universities)

The reopening of the case is a possibility. It should be reopened, particularly by a government that seeks to uncover and ascertain a historical fact in the trajectory of our nation building. With political will, it can be achieved.

But my concern about this possibility is the fact that there is no time limit within which a criminal investigation or trial can be conducted. What is of importance is the need to have credible and compelling evidence to establish the allegation. As a nation, if we find a better and verifiable body of evidence to establish the culprits or the cause, the matter can be reopened. For the sanctity of our nation and for factual historical accuracy, it is desired that the Federal Government revisits the case. The reason is that justice is indeed a threshold condition for peace. As long as you continue to suppress justice, you can always have the peace of poverty and the stability of starvation. This is the reason why in some other climes, particularly in South Africa from where Nigeria copied, you had Peace and Reconciliation Committee, which served as a platform, where people came out to make confessional statements with the aim of healing the wounds of the past. I like to insist that the law enforcement agencies should summon all these characters, including general Ishaya Bamaiyi. All of those, who superintended the affairs of the country in those dark days, must be summoned. It will be recorded in the favour of this government if they find the courage to say that a country cannot continue to pretend that the transgressions of the past never occurred. A country becomes better if the factual situations that led to those unfortunate incidents, are uncovered and those behind the circumstances, including Bamaiyi himself, are made to face the music. • Malachy Ugwumadu, (Lawyer/ Human rights activist)

This is my personal opinion as a Nigerian and not as National Legal Adviser, Nigerian Bar Association. I believe the Federal Government should reopen the inquiry into the death of Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola.

It is worth the trouble in order to unravel what is hidden about his death. The way and manner he died in custody have continued to set tongues wagging. If such an eminent personality could die just like that in custody, it portends a lot of fear for the common man on the street.

This happened under a military regime known for its brutal dictatorial tendencies.

In a normal clime, a panel of inquiry would have been set up to investigate the cause of his death. I will say it any day, that democracy is the best form of government anywhere.

The nation will not lose anything if the Federal Government reopens an inquiry into Chief MKO Abiola’s death. Up till today, no report has been able to pin-point what really killed him. All that has been in the public domain is that he died of “natural causes.” •Chief Rafiu Balogun (National Legal Adviser, Nigerian Bar Association)

It will be a step in the right direction if the Federal Government reopens an inquiry into the death of Chief MKO Abiola. It must unravel the cause of his death. I see no reason why a man who won an election would be locked up because he declared himself the winner, and on the eve of his freedom, he slumped and died according to information made available. There is no time limit to open investigation into criminal matter. You can reopen a criminal matter at any time. A man, who was president in waiting, cannot die in the custody of the Federal Government that he was to lead just like that without knowing the cause. Those, who are culpable, should face the music. They must face the music of law. Also, the man who annulled the election must be prosecuted. If he had not annulled the election, there was no way Abiola could have been taken into custody. If the Federal Government did that, it would curb the culture of impunity in the country. Not only this case, the cause and death of Bola Ige must also be unravelled.

The Department of State Services, the police or any security agency concerned must do a thorough job for Nigeria so that we can know the truth. The people found culpable for the annulment of his election, his arrest and death in detention must be prosecuted. • Morakinyo Ogele (A Human Rights Activist)

Yes. I think it is imperative; it is fundamental. It will be good for government to probe into how he died and bring a closure to the issues surrounding his death. This is because there have been so much speculations, there has been so much conjecture, there has been so much rumour mongering relating to the cause of his death and the circumstances under which he died. I think, since a crime has no limitation of time for investigation, it is time for us to pick up investigation into how we can unravel those circumstances. This will bring closure for the family, his friends and also Nigeria as a country. It will assist us to prevent a repeat of such an occurrence in the future. I think it is important we revisit it. At least, for the purposes of us knowing what really happened at that critical time in our nation’s history. Heinous crimes such as this one must not go without proper investigation, no matter how long it takes. Whenever there is a new lead, it is incumbent on authorities concerned to follow it through to ensure that we get to the bottom of it for posterity. •Festus Okoye (Kaduna based Legal Practitioner)

I no dey oooo , please no name calling or insults , you do , you are fired

The Indigenous of People of Biafra on Wednesday opposed secret trial of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu.


The group said a secret trial of Kanu would spell doom for the Nigerian legal system.

In a statement made available to newsmen in Awka, Anambra State, by the spokespersons for IPOB, Dr. Ikenna Chinaka and Mrs Grace Ukpai, the group condemned Justice Binta Nyako’s assent to try Kanu secretly.

The group cited some cases and the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that condemned secret trial as a method of justice administration.

The statement read in part, “It is prudent to remind Justice Nyako and the entire Nigerian public and the world at large that there are existing legal interpretations of the provisions of the constitution of Nigeria regarding the mode of criminal trials in civil courts which cannot be departed from.

“The provision dealing with fair hearing under section 36 of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria is for the protection of all the parties to a case — the plaintiffs and the defendants alike. It will be oppressive to interpret the provision as conferring protection on just one of the parties to a case.”

I respect your contribution , your experience and your maturity , however , I have never and will never support spending from reserves , by the time reserves is depleted , some set of people would start shouting up and down and the exchange rate would get worse and my brother , you trade forex on a personal scale , if you have traded for a company , firm or a state you would understand the complexity of making decisions , one pip could spell doom for a nation ! Trust me i know ,


It's better late than never and i believe in Nigeria / Buhari's Administration, 1 USD may not equal 1 NGN , but in the end, it'll be better

Have yourself a pleasant week

JustinSlayer69:
I agree "they" opposed all these...but let me ask you, did we have 0$ in foreign reserves then?

Yes, it was smart to wait till reserves were 30 billion $. But what you don't see is that, most Nigerians now know the "benefits" of keeping dollars and betting against their own currency.

I have been following forex markets on a weekly basis for 6 years now. Believe me, then Naira would depreciate by 20# and bounce back the following day. Few made money that way. But a dangerous habit has been introduced. 1 whole year the decline has continued so people would be willing to risk betting against the Naira.

That habit is what I said CBN should have fought it's growth.

I don't trust the source, but i think it's long overdue , him and Wike
