The trial of a former governor of Niger State, Babangida Aliyu, on an eight-count charge of money laundering to the tune of N2billion continued on June 26, 2018 before Justice Yalim Suleiman Bogoro of the Federal High Court, sitting in Minna, Niger State, with prosecution tendering documents to establish the complicity of the defendant in the alleged offence.

Mr Aliyu, fondly referred to as Chief Servant during his time as Governor, is being prosecuted alongside his then Chief of Staff, Umar Nasko by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

The defendants were accused of laundering ecological funds released by the Federal Government to Niger State sometime in 2014.

Nmadu Mohammed Ndawuya, the State Auditor General, Niger State, while being led in evidence by the prosecution counsel, Ben Ikani, narrated how the sum of N2billion was received by the Ministry of Finance and N1.7billion transferred to the then Ministry of Environment, Forestry, Parks and Garden.

Mr Ndawuya, who testified as PW7 explained that on that same day, the said N1.7billion was paid to contractors who could not be verified, neither were their offices located.

According to him “In 2014, the sum of N2billion was received by Ministry of Finance and N1.7billion was transferred to Ministry of Environment, Forestry, Parks and Garden.

“The same day, it was paid out to three contractors. We wanted to know the Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, between the three contractors and the government. We wanted to see the necessary due process of documentation, such as; advertisement of the contract in the paper and certificate of no objection. We also wanted to verify the work done. All these were not available. No evidence.

“We also wanted to establish the contractors based on the available addresses on the available documents.

“I sent someone to Abuja to locate the offices but he could not locate their offices”.
When asked whether he did a report to the government afterwards, the witness answered “Yes, we wrote to the Ministry, seeking clarity on the abnormalities, but we didn’t receive any response”.

Another report was sent to the National Assembly entitled “REPORT OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL TO THE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY OF THE ACCOUNT OF NIGER STATE GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA 2014” was tendered and admitted in evidence as ‘Exhibit GH3’.

The Bayelsa state government said its public service reform has reduced its workforce from 55,000 to 27,000, after it expunged 28,000 ghost workers from the payroll.

The Bayelsa Commissioner for Information, Mr Daniel Iworiso-Markson, stated this on Saturday.

Iworiso-Markson was reacting to criticism by the Bayelsa chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) to the job cuts.

He berated APC for criticising the reforms adding that the aim was to deal with payroll fraud and not to sack workers.

An APC member of the Bayelsa House of Assembly, representing Brass 1 Constituency, Mr Israel Soni-Goli while receiving two members of the PDP led government noted that the government was not managing the reforms properly.

The Bayelsa Commissioner for Youth Development, Mr Ibarakumo Otobo and Mr Asari Mangeta, an aide to Gov. Seriake Dickson, had on Wednesday defected from the PDP to the APC.

According to Iworiso-Markson, the APC only made a failed attempt to discredit the well intentioned and generally well received public sector reforms in Bayelsa.

He said that media reports quoting the APC as having described the sack of 28,000 workers as regrettable only shows that the party and its followers are not abreast of developments in Bayelsa.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned what it termed Gestapo-style arrest of Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, representing Abia South by the Directorate of State Security Services (DSS) on Friday, saying it’s an attempt to weaken opposition.

In a statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, the PDP said the latest arrest is an attempt is mostly targeted at opposition members of the federal parliament.

“The arrest has further confirmed our earlier alarm that the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led federal government has commenced a total clampdown on the opposition and perceived opponents of President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2019 re-election bid.

“The PDP notes that the federal government has given no reasons for the arrest and detention of Senator Abaribe, who has been kept incommunicado without access to his lawyers and associates.

“The party also notes the apprehension of Nigerians following numerous alleged plots by the federal government to frame up other lawmakers, including Senate President Bukola Saraki, Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremmadu, as well as Senators Dino Melaye and Shehu Sani.

“Nigerians can now see that our dear nation is fast descending into a fascist state where constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech no longer obtains and citizens are marked, arrested and detained on the whims and caprices of those in power.

The PDP which expressed fear over the safety of senator Abaribe charged the DSS to immediately declare Senator Abaribe’s whereabouts, as well as the charge against him.

Musa for president

A pastor in Nigeria has urged his followers to pay him more than $2,000 to unleash a squadron of “prayer warriors” to help the country’s footballers secure a World Cup win.

Earlier this week, self-styled prophet Tommy Yisa Aika said that the Super Eagles lost their opening match to Croatia because God was punishing them for hiring a white coach, Gernot Rohr.

But he now says Nigeria can salvage the situation and become the first African team to win the tournament — as long as fans give him 750,000 naira ($2,092, 1,797 euros). “What I need is a token 750,000 (naira) to get some spiritual materials and also to give my prayer warriors as honorarium,” he said in a television interview, the Daily Post reported.

Aika said his crack congregation was on standby and ready for action, “so that what has been destroyed can be readjusted to grant the Super Eagles divine favour all through the tournament”.

Five women working for a charity in remote eastern India were abducted and gang-raped at gunpoint, police said Friday, in the latest horrific sex assault in the country.

The women said in their complaint they were performing a play to raise awareness about human trafficking in the largely tribal Khunti district of Jharkhand state on Tuesday when they were abducted.

The assailants shot videos of the attack and threatened the women if they went to the police. The women worked for the non-governmental organisation Asha Kiran which is supported by a local Christian missionary group, police officer Rajesh Prasad said.

“We have been questioning several people,” Prasad told AFP. Police have also rounded up some supporters of Pathalgadi, an anti-establishment self-rule movement popular in several tribal villages. Pathalgadi supporters resent outsiders and do not allow them to enter or settle in their area.

Khunti is also a hotbed of Maoists, armed guerrillas who have been waging a decades-long insurgency mainly for land rights. Prasad said the women had undergone medical tests and that police were awaiting the results.

India has been in the global spotlight since the 2012 gang-rape and murder of a woman on a New Delhi bus sparked angry protests. But the number of sex attacks has grown since then with some 39,000 rape cases reported nationally in 2016.

Jharkhand has especially been in the spotlight after three teenagers were raped and burnt alive in separate incidents last month.

Some Ministers on Thursday gave reasons why they believe President Muhammadu Buhari deserves to be re-elected in 2019.

The ministers spoke at the opening of the International Press Institute (IPI) World Congress 2018 in Abuja tagged: Conversation with the Government of Nigeria’’

The Ministers of Finance, Interior, Information and Culture as well as Trade and Investment were discussants at the event held at the banquet hall of Presidential Villa, Abuja, with international and local media practitioners.

Mrs Kemi Adeosun, the Minister of Finance said the President deserved to be re-elected following the administration’s achievement in repositioning the economy and putting Nigeria on the path to sustainable growth and recovery.

According to her, the nation has never had it so good in terms of its potential to grow and really show what the country can do as its diversified economy that creates opportunities.

The Minister of Interior, Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau said a re-election was for continuity because “Nigeria cannot get anybody better than President Buhari’’.

For the Information Minister, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the administration had delivered on all its promises and deserve a second term. “We promised Nigerians that we were going to fight insecurity, we fought insecurity; we promised Nigerians that we were going to revive the economy, we have revamped the economy.

“We promised we were going to fight corruption, corruption today is a taboo in Nigeria,’’ Mohammed said.

The Minister of Trade, and Investment, Dr Okechukwu Enelamah added that under the leadership of the President the citizens had changed the conversation in the country.

According to him, we are now talking about the importance of security, fighting corruption and good economy “rather than saying corruption is not a problem, it is not different from stealing’’.

The ministers had earlier taken turns to itemise the achievements of the administration including the expansion of the tax net and diversification of the economy to generate more funds for development.

They also highlighted the achievements in infrastructure development in line with the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan to enhance job creation, trade and security in different parts of the country.

“It is quite encouraging that all the things that the nation needs to do to go on the part of growth we are doing.

“We are building, we are investing in our security, we have addressed the issue of tax, we have created the enabling environment by investments in infrastructure, which will allow people to take advantage of the government’s initiatives,’’

Adeosun said. Lai Mohammed noted that the country exited recession within two quarters while the country’s stock exchange had grown by more than 40 per cent in recent times.

He added that 200,000 jobs were created though the N-power job creation scheme while the administration was feeding 8.2 million pupils in the school feeding programme.

He said that the Social Investment Programme of the administration was second to none, adding that government had built 850 kilometers of roads while power generation had increased to 7,000 megawatts from 2,630 megawatts it inherited.

Enelamah noted that under the present administration the country was having the same conversation and noted that it was important to continue on the trajectory of the progress being made to sustain it.

According to him, there is a deliberate plan to insdustrialise the country through the construction of industrial parks.

Four people including a 10 year old boy have been killed and 10 others missing on Wednesday night at Kai village, Barkin Ladi local government area of Plateau State during attack by armed men.

The State Police Public Relations Officer, Mathias Tyopev confirmed the attack on Thursday.

The houses of the deceased were said to have been invaded by the attackers whom relatives suspected to be Fulani herders They also said that sporadic gunshots were heard in the neighbourhood.

According to a resident Chuwang Moses, other residents ran into a nearby bush during the attack. Some of those who escaped were yet to be seen as at Thursday afternoon.

A Maren Mahan of Kai village reported at the Barkin Ladi Police Division that yesterday (Wednesday) at about 8pm, unknown gunmen suspected to be Fulani Herdsmen invaded the house of his elder brother one Dauda Mahan of the same address.

“The invaders shot and killed the followings persons ; Dauda Mahan, 54yrs, Mangai Agwom, 46yrs, Christian Mangai, 15yrs and John Mangai, 10yrs. On receipt of this information, a team of detectives led by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) Barkin Ladi Division visited the scene of crime for an on the spot assessment.

“The bodies were recovered to the General Hospital Barkin Ladi where they were confirmed dead by the doctor on duty and the corpses deposited in the hospital’s mortuary. Investigation is ongoing to track and arrest the perpetrators to face the consequences of their actions.”

Meanwhile, the State Commissioner for Information and Communication, Mr. Yakubu Dati in a statement said, “The Plateau State Government hereby commiserates with citizens of the state over the recent attacks. The Rescue administration holds every single live as sacred hence cannot play politics with the lives of the very people who voted it into power.

“While government is saddened by these attacks, we wish to reiterate that the government is not resting on its oars to find lasting solutions to these attacks. As a government, will never leave the citizens at the mercy of these attackers no matter the situation because it is our constitutional duty to ensure the safety of lives and well-being of the people. ”

It is however, disheartening that while government is working round the clock to ensure adequate security of lives of the people, some people are bent on scoring very cheap political points and sowing seeds of discord among the peace-loving people by attributing the current security challenges especially the recent attacks to what they feel as action or inaction of the government. Any attempt to portray this government in bad light remains an exercise in futility.

“As a government we are committed to ensuring a safe and secured environment that will guarantee peaceful coexistence among the various groups in the state as we remained resolute to the well-being of our people.”

The Defence Headquarters has said that there was no concrete evidence to support the claim that the Islamic State – ISIS was sending its members to Nigeria to train the Boko Haram terrorists.

“It is pertinent to state categorically that there is no concrete evidence on the ground to back the claim,” Brig.-Gen. John Agim, the Acting Director Defence Information said on Wednesday in Abuja.

Agim recalled that the Barnawi faction of Boko Haram terrorists in 2016 pledged alliance to the ISIS after troops dislodged them from Sambisa forest.

“The Armed Forces of Nigeria is aware that there is collaboration between terrorist groups, thus, it is important to note that the activity of one group in a country influences other groups in other countries and because of this knowledge, activities of other terrorist groups usually affect our own military strategy.

“The Nigeria military will continue to condemn all tactics by terrorist groups of isolating the Armed Forces of Nigeria, from any foreign collaboration,” Agim said.

He assured that proactive measures were being taken to nip any such development (ISIS training terrorists in Nigeria) “if it exists in the bud”.

The DDI assured Nigerians that the armed forces was capable of defending the country and its citizens from every attempt to infiltrate it by criminals.

“Hence, the ill motivated stories, clips and their claims should be disregarded,” he said.

In a communiqué issued at the end of the summit and signed by Comrade Odeyemi Oladimeji on behalf of National Committee of Yoruba Youth, Engr. Fidelis Nze KSN (Igbo Youth Assembly) and Comrade Nathaniel Ekutu (South-South Youth Coalition), the forum also commended the sustained effort of the Federal  government and stakeholders in the anti-corruption war, as it lauded the cooperation now being received from the judiciary, towards ensuring a speedy dispensation of corruption-related trials, as being recently witnessed in the country.

The President assented to the bill on Wednesday at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.

President Buhari had submitted a budget proposal of N8.612 trillion to the National Assembly in November 2017.

He later received the appropriation bill from the lawmakers on May 25, 2018, more than six months after presenting a budget proposal of N8.612 trillion to the Legislature.

The National Assembly had accused the Ministries, Departments, and Agencies of frustrating the passage by failing to submit the breakdowns of their budget proposals, forcing a presidential order to that effect.

They had also increased the proposal by N508 billion, bringing the total figure to N9.12 trillion as against the initial estimate of N8.6 trillion.

Nine ways you’re accidentally damaging your smartphone

Check out nine ways that you may be accidentally damaging your smartphone, and figure out a few ways to stop the bumps and bruises before they result in a broken phone.

Installing malware

One of the biggest misconceptions about smartphones is that you don’t have to worry about security with them nearly as much as you do with your computer. But that’s a myth, and downloading apps at random without doing your research is a great way to end up with malware on your device.

Avoid downloading apps from third-party stores or clicking download links on suspicious websites, even if they show the icon and name of an app you think you can trust.

Leaving your phone plugged in

It may not really be a problem to leave your phone plugged in for a couple of hours once it is charged completely, since devices can limit the power being transferred to the battery once that battery is fully charged.

But there is no benefit to continue to charge your phone after the battery reaches 100 per cent; leaving the device plugged in for long periods of time can generate excess heat and damage your phone. Another great way to damage your phone as you charge it is leaving the device plugged in when it is tucked under your pillow or even just sitting on top of your mattress. A smartphone heats up as it is charging, and if you don’t place it somewhere where that heat can dissipate, it can overheat.

Allowing your phone to overheat

Speaking of overheating, your phone doesn’t have to be plugged in for the device to get too hot. It is relatively easy for your phone to overheat in strong sunlight.

And in some cases, a phone can get hot enough to shut down when left in direct sunlight, even in an air-conditioned room. The problem there is that excessive heat can damage the battery.

So, shielding your phone from the sun, turning it off if you have to leave it in a hot car, and otherwise keeping your device at a comfortable temperature is a good idea to prevent accidental damage.

Dropping your phone, even if it’s in a case

A case won’t prevent you from dropping your phone (or knocking it off your desk or counter), and a drop can still damage your phone. Even if you don’t immediately see a shattered screen or a dented corner, it’s still possible that a fall has weakened your phone’s casing or damaged something inside the device. If you routinely drop your phone, the repeated impacts may be doing more damage than you think.

Exposing your phone to liquids

Plenty of smartphones aren’t made to stand up to use in a rainstorm, and you should probably prevent yours from getting splashed at the pool.

But even encounters that seem innocuous can do damage to your phone, like setting it down on top of a wet bath towel. Your phone may incur damage when you use it with wet hands in the bathtub — even if you manage to avoid dropping it into the water.

Keeping your phone on 24/7

Just like you turn your computer off when you aren’t using it, it is a good idea to shut your phone down at least occasionally to give it a rest. Leaving your phone on all the time burns through the life expectancy of its components more quickly than you would by shutting it off every occasionally.

Regularly shutting down your device, or even simply rebooting it, will help ensure that caches are cleared and that everything is running smoothly.

Leaving your phone on the couch (or keeping it in your pocket)

Leaving your smartphone on the couch can be a bad idea. When you’re watching a game or just engrossed in a movie, it is easy to forget that your phone is sitting right next to you, just waiting to be dropped on the floor when you jump up (either for a popcorn break or to celebrate a goal). Even accidentally sitting on your phone can damage it.

The same argument could be made to advocate against keeping your phone in your pocket. If you repeatedly sit on your phone or routinely find it falling out of your pocket and clattering to the ground, then you should probably reconsider your habits.

Filling up your phone’s storage

Keeping your phone packed full of apps and data will slow it down. And of course, if the memory is full, you won’t have any room to download a new app or store a new video. Deleting apps, browser data, and unused media can all help keep your phone performing well; avoiding the temptation to overload the memory will save you the frustration of the constant struggle for space.

Being careless about plugging your phone in to the charger

Being careless about plugging your phone in to its charger is a great way to end up with a damaged port. Being rough or careless when you’re plugging your phone in is always a bad idea, since tiny ports are easy to ruin and major force is never necessary. From a scratched phone to a broken port, the outcome when you force the cable is never good.

The United Nations, UN has focused on the plight of the girls’ victims of sexual violence and abuse by Boko Haram terrorists as it celebrates International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflicts.
UN has urged the Nigerian authorities to give more attention to protecting girls and children who were victims of sexual violence and abuse by the terrorists.
Ms Pramila Patten, Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, stated this while briefing on the International Day.
Under this year’s theme, “The Plight and Rights of Children Born of War,” the Day encourages solidarity with the survivors who have endured multiple ordeals, in the wake of sexual violence.
A short video clip featured ‘Khadija’, who was kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists at Banki, Borno and impregnated, being tagged ‘Boko Haram wife’ and her baby, ‘Boko Haram son’ in the camp.
Patten said she met with the victim girls and children born out of rape arising from the sexual violence and abuse when she travelled to Maiduguri in 2017.
“I met with 200 young girls and there were 162 babies and I was really disturbed by the fact that these young girls and their babies were not only rejected by their families, by their communities but also by the very people they were living with inside the camp.
“And my visit to Maiduguri made me realise that more attention needs to be given. I think the focus really has to be on the rights.
