BENIN—Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, yesterday, said the current financial crisis that prevented many states from paying workers’ salaries was beyond the crash in the price of crude oil, saying that states needed to revisit the issue of capital expenditure, recurrent expenditure and the context of the federal character principle.
The governor, who noted that Edo State met its wage obligation to workers monthly, challenged senior public servants in the state to look inwards to ensure that the state continued to initiate and execute fresh capital projects in addition to completing ongoing ones and meeting basic recurrent expenditures in spite of the dwindling resources from the federation account.

Speaking at a 3-day retreat for members of the State Executive Council and Permanent Secretaries holding in Abuja to brainstorm and re-strategise on raising the bar on governance in the state, with the theme, Finishing Well, he observed that a lot still needed to be done to ensure his administration finished stronger than it started almost seven years ago.
He said: “There are still a lot of wastages in our system. From our experience in Edo, without attacking wages, we have cut a couple of things without having to physically carry out retrenchment in the way that some other state governments have done. At $45, I believe it is a high price for crude, but I think the problem is that we have assumed that when the price rose to $140 and stabilised at $108, that became the new ideal level. So, when it dropped to around half of that, we think we are in crisis. When I look at what the number was in 1999, at the beginning of this democracy, it was less than $40, and we still had a fairly balanced budget looking at the ratio of recurrent expenditure vis-à-vis capital expenditure.

“Now if you appreciate that we were doing relatively well at $28 dollars, and that Nigeria met its wage bill when oil crashed to $10 not too long ago, about 1997, the country was not known to be in arrears of salaries.”

A family of a deceased woman have suspended her burial rites until her ‘husband’ who she was living with, performs her wedding rites.
The woman, Chinyere Mbam, died from the snake bite she sustained while returning from the wake-keep of her friend, Oge Ogashi.
She was taken to a traditional healing home in the area for treatment and thereafter back to the husband’s home where she died.
Her uncle, Ishiali Ikwe, confirmed her death.
But the deceased’s family have mandated her partner, Stephen Mbam, of Enyi Igwe Village, Ezzainyimagu community in Izzi Local Government Area of Ebonyi State to carry out her traditional marriage rites before she is buried.

Sources said that the parents of the victim was
not informed early enough of the incident as the
boyfriend allegedly took the corpse to the state -
owned mortuary claiming she was sick and died.

A 46-year-old landlord, simply identified as Sunday, was last Friday arrested for allegedly raping a 10-year-old daughter of his tenant at Bonugo village in Kwali Area Council in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). A source who craved anonymity disclosed this to our reporter on Sunday, saying the incident happened after the victim’s parents, who are tenants in Sunday’s house, went out to visit a relative. He said the accused allegedly lured the girl into his room and raped her, causing serious injuries on her private part, adding that it was two days later, when the parents discovered that their daughter was not walking properly that they asked her what was wrong with her.

“The man, after raping the girl, threatened to kill her if she told her parents. The mother noticed the abnormal way she was walking and asked her what was wrong but she refused to talk,” he said.
City News gathered that it took the intervention of a relative of the victim who threatened to beat her if she refused to tell her parents what was wrong before she told her parents the landlord had lured her inside his room and defiled her.
Our reporter learnt that the parents of the girl immediately reported the matter at the police station at Kwali, and the suspect was subsequently arrested and detained.

Efforts to get the reaction of the Kwali Divisional Police (DPO), Mr. Yakubu Moahmmed, were not successful, as he did not pick several calls put across to him, but a police officer who craved anonymity confirmed the incident, saying the suspect would be charged to court on Monday.

He said: “It is normal and this has been the
tradition everywhere including in the United States.
“In fact, let me tell you, as the Majority leader and
chief marketer of the nominees, I have been lobbying my colleagues.

An attempt by a passenger to smuggle 23 wraps containing $US34,000 has been foiled by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), the agency’s Head of Public Affairs, Ofoyeju Mitchell, said in a press statement.
The suspect, Ozoh Ikenna, was arrested at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA) Lagos, on his way to Brazil. The money was detected during the screening of passengers for an Etihad Airways flight to Abu Dhabi packed in wraps and concealed in his boxer shorts.

NDLEA airport commander, Ahmadu Garba said that the arrest was facilitated by a scanning machine. “We also conducted a follow-up operation where one Ogbo Emmanuel who gave Ozoh the $34,000 dollars was arrested,” he stated.

Investigation by the Assets and Financial Investigation Directorate headed by Mrs Victoria Egbase revealed that the suspects were involved in the laundering of substantial amounts of illicit drug proceeds.

“We were able to trace over two hundred and twenty-six million Naira (N226,000,000) to one bank account belonging to the second suspect, Ogbo Emmanuel,” she said. “The account name is Eternal God International Limited”.

Ogbo Emmanuel hails from Umunya in Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra State. After his primary and secondary education, he travelled to Onitsha to learn the automobile parts business. In 1996, he relocated to Lagos. In 2005, he left Nigeria for Gambia in search of greener pastures. While in Gambia, he travelled to Germany twice to purchase fairly used electronics. He returned to Lagos in 2008 and has been dealing in cosmetic business at the Trade Fair Complex.

In his statement, Ozoh said that he was only a courier. “I [have lived] in Brazil since 2008,” he stated. “I was paid to smuggle the $34,000 to Brazil. They promised to pay me five per cent. I agreed to smuggle the money to alleviate my financial hardship. I could not swallow the wraps so I decided to hide it in my underpants.”

It was also discovered that suspected drug proceeds were regularly deposited in the said bank account by members of an international drug cell that smuggles cocaine from South America to West Africa. Investigations also revealed that the cosmetic business of Ogbo Emmanuel at the Trade Fair Complex Lagos was a mere hoax, as his sales records did not justify the large inflow of money into his bank account. A Hyundai Tucson Jeep was seized as an exhibit during the raid operation.

The Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, said that the agency was strategically targeting criminal wealth.

“Asset forfeiture is one of the effective ways of responding to organised crime threats,” he stated. “We are working assiduously to trace and confiscate criminal wealth of drug syndicates. Strategic efforts are on-going to prevent the entry of drug proceeds into legitimate economy and criminal financing.”

The NDLEA boss assured members of the public that in view of the overwhelming evidence linking the money to narcotics, the agency will diligently prosecute the suspects. Effort is also being made to apprehend other members of the drug cell.
