| Nairaland General › Three Things I Did While In Prison — Obasanjo by jcflex(op): 3:57am On Mar 27, 2017 |
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Sunday narrated his prisons experience and declared that he did three things while he was in Yola and Kirikiri prisons serving a jail term for a phantom coup charges by the late military dictator, Sani Abacha . He also said there should be no position that a man should find himself in life where he should not be useful to God. He also posited that the major challenge in life was not how to stay alive but “ what to live for and what to live with.” Obasanjo said this while recalling his experience as an inmate in Yola Prison where he said he met a hardened armed robber and serial murderer , Baba Ali , who he preached to and later sent to the bible school and who has today become a pastor over a Baptist Church . The ex- President spoke at Shepherdhill Baptist Church , Obanikoro, Lagos , where the Lagos State Baptist Conference held a thanksgiving service to mark his 80th birthday. The programme was tagged , “ Special Commemorative, Commendation and Congratulatory Birthday Service .” Recalling his time as an inmate , Obasanjo said he did three remarkable things, which were that he built a church while in prison; started a farm, converted Baba Ali to a Christian and served as prison pastor. He narrated , “ There ’s a difference between joy and happiness. In prison , I had joy but it will be madness for me to say that when I was in prison I was happy . How can you be in prison and say you are happy ? But I was having the joy of God with me, not for one day was I sad . And I am grateful to God for the experience that I had in the prison . “ I will mention three things that God made me to do when I was in Yola Prison. One , God made me to build a church . It’ s very unusual , I asked the authorities for land , they were reluctant, but eventually they gave me land and immediately , we started getting donations . It was started before I left Yola. Wherever you are , you can still be useful to the work of God. “ Secondly , there was a parcel of land , which was not being used for anything , so , I told the prison authorities that I wanted to farm. They were reluctant but eventually they granted me the permission to farm and I grew enough beans to feed all the inmates and the warders . Don ’t remain idle, get something doing .” The third thing he did, Obasanjo said, was at Kirikiri Prison in Lagos where he took over as the prison pastor. He said he took over as prison pastor because the prison authorities banned preachers from coming in after some white garments preachers who came to preach had helped some inmates to escape by dressing them in white garments. He said, “ They made sure we did not receive anybody from outside to come and preach to us or fellowship with us. So, I took over as the prison pastor. And there was a boy whom they had introduced to me , his nickname was Baba Ali . Baba Ali was the head of the armed robbers in the North. And if you were an armed robber and you came to the prison , you must first of all go and pay homage to Baba Ali. If you were going out, you must go to Baba Ali and ask him for instruction on what you had to do next . “ So, I called Baba Ali one day and said, ‘You are not coming to fellowship ; I want you to be coming to the fellowship .’ He said, ‘ Baba , don ’t worry me; don’ t worry me at all because God can never forgive me . I have killed so many people in my life ; I have drunk the blood of so many people; I have eaten the flesh of so many people and God will never forgive me , so , don’ t waste your time about me. ’ “ I left Baba Ali on that occasion, and I waited for some time before I went back and said, ‘ Baba Ali, you know all you said that you are a murderer , whether you killed only one person or a thousand people, you are a murderer ; but have you forgotten that Moses was a murderer but God used him to bring the people of Israel out of Egypt ? David was a murderer but God called him a man after my heart. “ By the time I was leaving the prison , I told Baba Ali that if he was able to make it and he would like to go to bible school, I would send him to bible school. Baba Ali came out of prison two years after me. By the time he came out I had become the President of Nigeria . It took him two years to get through to me, when he got to me, I reminded him of our agreement and he said he was ready to go to the bible school . So, I sent him to the seminary . Baba Ali spent two years in the seminary , today Baba Ali is the pastor of a Baptist Church . What is more? Baba Ali’s junior brother took after him and has also become a pastor .” The church presented Obasanjo with a bible, a bell and a bottle of olive oil. He was accompanied by his wife Bola, Senator Olorunnibe Mamora among others. http://punchng.com/three-things-i-did-while-in-prison-obasanjo/ Mynd44 Lalasticlala |
| Politics › N19bn Paris Club Scam: EFCC Report Indicts Saraki, Aides, Ex-bank MD by jcflex(op): 3:45am On Mar 27, 2017*. Modified: 4:22am On Mar 27, 2017 |
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has submitted a report to President Muhammadu Buhari linking Senate President , Bukola Saraki , and some of his aides to the diversion of about N 19bn from the N522 bn Paris Club refund. The report also fingered Mr . Robert Mbonu of Melrose General Services Limited. Mbonu is a former Managing Director of Societe Generale Bank of Nigeria , the commercial bank owned by the Saraki family which was later liquidated . The Federal Government had, in December 2016, approved the sum of N522 .74bn to be paid to the 36 states of the federation as part of the reimbursement of the over- deduction on the Paris Club loan from 1995 to 2002. The EFCC had sometimes in January discovered that the loan refunds were illegally routed through the account of the Nigeria Governors Forum by the Central Bank of Nigeria . Upon receiving the funds , the NGF , in an alleged connivance with Saraki , began remitting huge sums to private consultants who then laundered about N19bn . According to the report, apart from the NGF, others under investigation include the Relationship Manager to the Senate President in Access Bank , Kathleen Erhimu. Some others under probe and identified as Saraki ’s aides include Obiora Amobi , Gbenga Makanjuola , Kolawole Shittu and Oladapo Idowu . The report alleges that sometimes in December, Saraki introduced the ex -bank MD , Mbonu, to Erhimu. Others at the meeting were Saraki ’s aforementioned aides . It added that sequel to the meeting, the sum of N 3 .5 bn was lodged into Melrose General Services Company account number 0005892453, domiciled in Access Bank from the Nigeria Governors Forum on December 14. The report stated that two of Saraki ’s aides , Obiora Amobi and Gbenga Makanjuola , were introduced to Access Bank as representatives of Melrose General Services Limited by Mbonu to enable them to make cash withdrawals from the account . It added that Amobi and Makanjuola made cash withdrawals in various tranches of N 5m and N10m . The report reads in part , “ Based on the foregoing findings, it is clear that Robert Mbonu , the Managing Director of Melrose General Services Company and his company were used to help divert proceeds of unlawful activities under the guise of payment for contractual obligations with the Nigeria Governors Forum . “ Suffice to apprise that all payments received by Melrose General Services Company from the NGF have hitherto been diverted directly via cash withdrawals and indirectly through transfers by Gbenga Peter Makanjuola , Kolawole Shittu and Oladapo Joseph Idowu, who are principal aides to the Senate President . “ Furthermore, other payments from Melrose General Services Company have also been linked to companies that Dr . Bukola Saraki has interest in and carries out transactions with. “ This includes the sum of $ 183 ,000 , which was transferred to Bhaska Devji Jewellers, Dubai , a company Dr . Bukola Saraki had repeatedly made payments to . “ Also, the sum of N200 m was transferred to Wasp Networks Limited that subsequently transferred the sum of N 170m to Xtract Energy Services Limited, a company that routinely made deposits into Dr . Saraki ’ s Access Bank US Dollar Domiciliary account .” The report concludes that a prima facie case of conspiracy to retain the proceeds of unlawful activities and money laundering, contrary to sections 15(3) and 18(9 ) of the Money Laundering Prohibition Act 2004, could be established against the aforementioned suspects . “ Additionally, investigation into their personal accounts is ongoing ,” it adds . When contacted , the Special Adviser to the Senate President on Media and Publicity , Mr . Yusuph Olaniyonu , who spoke on behalf of Saraki , said he would not react except he sighted the report. “ Send the report to me and I will be able to read it and contact the necessary people. If I don’ t see the report, I cannot react to it in abstract . Send me the report if you want our reaction ,” he said. The spokesman for the EFCC , Mr . Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed that investigations were ongoing into the Paris Club scam. He , however , said he did not know the specifics of the investigations. “ I can only confirm that there are investigations but I don ’t have details,” Uwujaren said. http://punchng.com/n19bn-paris-club-scam-efcc-report-indicts-saraki-aides-ex-bank-md/ http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/227213-shocking-efcc-writes-buhari-indicts-saraki-aides-allegedly-laundering-n3-5-billion.html |

| Politics › N963.7m Subsidy Fraud: Oil Marketer Gets 10 Years Jail by jcflex(op): 3:30am On Mar 17, 2017 |
Justice Lateefa Okunnu of an Ikeja High Court has sentenced an oil marketer, Rowaye Jubril, to 10 years imprisonment over a N963.7 million fuel subsidy fraud. The conviction is coming barely two months after two oil marketers, Walter Wagbatsoma and Adaoha Ugo-Ndali and their company, Ontario Oil and Gas Limited, were convicted of N754 million subsidy fraud by the same court. Delivering judgment yesterday, Justice Okunnu convicted Jubril and his company, Brila Energy Limited, of a 13-count charge preferred against them by Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The 13-count charge bordered on conspiracy, obtaining money by false pretext, forgery and use of false documents. The trial judge sentenced Jubril to 10 years imprisonment on Count One. The convict was also sentenced to eight years each on Counts Two to 13. She ordered that the sentences should run concurrently and commenced from the date of judgement. Justice Okunnu ordered Jubril’s company to refund N963.7 million to the Federal Government as restitution. The defendants were first arraigned by the EFCC on November 2012 before the court. The EFCC said the defendants had obtained N963.7 million from the Federal Government under the Petroleum Support Fund between October 2010 and May 2012. The anti-graft agency said the money was obtained for the purported importation of 13,500 metric tonnes of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS). According to the EFCC, the offences contravened Section 1(3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act of 2006. It said the offences contravened sections 467 and 468 of the Criminal Code Laws of Lagos State 2003. http://thenationonlineng.net/n963-7m-subsidy-fraud-oil-marketer-gets-10-years-jail/ lalasticlala mynd44 we don catch one of the goat eating our yam |

| Politics › Ex-air Force Chief Forfeits Five Mansions To FG by jcflex(op): 6:11am On Mar 05, 2017 |
A former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Mohammed Umar (retd. ) has temporarily forfeited five properties to the Federal Government , Sunday PUNCH has learnt . According to court documents sighted by our correspondent, the properties include four mansions and a castle with a mosque . Three of the properties are located in the upscale areas of Maitama and Asokoro in Abuja while two others are located in Kaduna and Kano. The properties are : A six- bedroomed duplex with two- bedroomed ‘boys quarters ’ located at 14 Vistula Close off Panama Street, Maitama which he allegedly bought for N 700m ; a castle with a swimming pool and a mosque located at 1853 Denf Xiao Ping Street, Asokoro Extension which he allegedly purchased at N 860 m and renovated at the cost of N66m in 2012. Other properties include a four -bedroomed duplex with a ‘boys quarters ’ located at Road 38, Street 2 , Ministers’ Hill , Mabushi which he allegedly bought at a cost of N 500m ; a three- bedroomed duplex and a three-bedroomed guest chalet located at 8 Kabala Road Unguwan Rimi, GRA, Kaduna State allegedly purchased at the cost of N 80m while between N75m and N80m was spent on the renovation . The suspect also forfeited a six -bedroomed duplex with ‘ boys’ quarters ’ and a two- bedroomed guest chalet located at 14 Audu Bako Way , Nasarawa GRA, Kano State. Acting on an affidavit in support of the motion sworn to by Hammadama Bello and Sylvanus Tahir for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , Justice J. T Tsoho ordered an interim forfeiture of the assets and the stoppage of any disposal , conveyance, mortgage , lease , sale or alienation or otherwise of the assets or properties . The judge also authorised the chairman of the EFCC to appoint competent persons or firms to manage the assets and the proceeds realised from them to be lodged in an interest- yielding account pending the conclusion of Umar’s trial . The judge, however , ordered that the EFCC shall file an undertaking to compensate Umar if it turns out that the forfeiture order ought not to have been granted . Umar, who is currently standing trial before Justice Nnamdi Dimgba of a Federal High Court in Maitama , is accused of diverting N9 .7 bn from the account of the Nigerian Air Force. The former air chief , who served between September 2010 and 2012, was accused of diverting about N 558m from the Air Force account monthly . At the last hearing on February 13, 2017, an EFCC witness, Air Commodore S. A. Yusahau (retd .), who is a former Director of Finance and Accounts, narrated how Umar used NAF funds to acquire the properties. He said, “ I receive all money of the Nigerian Air Force and disburse it as authorised by the defendant . The Nigerian Air Force received its funds to the tune of N 4 bn monthly . “ Of the N 4bn , the actual figure used in paying staff salary was between N 2 .3 bn and N2 . 4bn . Out of the remaining N1 .6 bn , N 558 .2 m was usually set aside for upkeep of the defendant (Umar), while N 120 m was for the office of the DFA (Director of Finance and Accounts). ” He alleged that the N 558 .2 m that was set aside for the upkeep of the Chief of Air Staff’s office was always converted to its dollar equivalent and taken to Umar in his house . http://punchng.com/ex-air-force-chief-forfeits-five-mansions-to-fg/ |

Barely six days after 17 “exotic” vehicles were recovered from a Kaduna warehouse belonging to former Comptroller-General of Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) Abdullahi Dikko Inde, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), another set of items including vehicles, tricycles and motorcycles, have been seized. The items, which were recovered on Monday and Tuesday from another warehouse said to be the property of the former Customs boss include a 2013 model 32-seater Nissan bus, 42 cargo tricycles, one tipper truck, 16 motorcycles, over 500 rug carpets and two fire-proof safes. Zonal Head, EFCC in Kaduna, Bappa Ibrahim said yesterday that the recovery was made following tip-off . He said the operation, which led to the recovery of the items was a continuation of the anti-graft agency’s investigation on the former Customs boss. Ibrahim said the items were recovered from a warehouse, off Nnamdi Azikwe Expressway, around NASFAT village in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State. The two safes, which were forced open by EFCC operatives in the presence of reporters, contained documents, an iron stamp, 50 and 20 naira notes, amounting to N1,560 and polythene bags. The Zonal EFCC boss declined comments on the documents found inside the safes, saying further investigations would be carried out on them. “The fresh operation, which started on Monday, 27th February, 2017 till today is a continuation of last week operation, which led to recovery of 17 exotic vehicles.” He called on the public to always assist the anti-graft agency with information, as the war against corruption is everyone’s and should not be left for the EFCC alone. http://thenationonlineng.net/efcc-recovers-vehicles-others-ex-customs-boss/ 1 Like |

| Politics › Why Buhari’s Lawyer Sent N500,000 ‘gift’ To Judge Accused Of Corruption by jcflex(op): 4:09am On Feb 22, 2017 |
A witness in the ongoing trial of a Federal High Court judge, Adeniyi Ademola, has told the court that operatives of the State Security Service did not investigate an alleged gift of N500, 000 given to Mr. Ademola by President Muhammadu Buhari’s lawyer. Mr. Ademola is facing trial for alleged abuse of office alongside. His wife, Olubowale, and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Joe Agi, are also being tried for alleged corruption. An operative of the SSS, Babatunde Adepoju, who led investigations into the allegations, confirmed on Tuesday that he had been told, during interrogation of Mr. Agi, that a gift of N500, 000 was sent through Mr. Buhari’s lawyer, Kola Awodehin, to Mr. Ademola. The money, reportedly sent as a gift for Mr. Ademola’s daughter’s wedding, was delivered to the judge by Kola Awodehin, a lawyer who represented the president in a case of alleged forgery of secondary school certificate before the 2015 elections. The following exchanges ensued in court between Mr. Agi’s lawyer, Jeph Njikonye, and Mr. Adepoju: Question: During the interview with the third defendant, he told you that the wedding gift passed by Ken Hubert and Bassey Bassey was not the only gift received by the first defendant (Justice Ademola), and that the president’s lawyer also passed a gift of N500,000 then for the wedding of the judge’s daughter. Answer: Yes. [At this point, a copy of the court document involving the charge against Mr. Buhari on allegations of certificate forgery; (between Chukwunwike Vs President Buhari), was shown to the witness who identified the name of the lawyer (Mr. Awodehin), as the third person representing the president in the suit.] Question: Was Kola Awodeyin, SAN, the one who passed off the gift of N500,000? Answer: Yes As a follow up to the response by Mr. Adepoju, Mr. Agi’s lawyer asked whether the N500,000 given at a time when Mr. Buhari had a pending case before Mr. Ademola, amounted to a bribe, so that the judge would rule in his favour. Mr. Adepoju answered in the negative, stressing that “such would amount to a speculation in my opinion”. Mr. Adepoju also added that his office did not investigate further to determine the authenticity or otherwise of the claim by Mr. Agi. At least 10 suits challenging the eligibility of Mr. Buhari to contest the 2015 presidential election came before the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court. The suits were later consolidated into two, since they all sought similar actions from the court of law. In one of the suits, Chukwunweike Okafor sought an order compelling the Independent National Electoral Commission to remove or delete Mr. Buhari’s name and that of the All Progressives Congress from the list of persons and political parties running for the office of president. Mr. Okafor asked the court to hold that the information supplied by the APC flag-bearer in Form C.F 001 that his West African School Certificate was with the Nigerian Army was false and should be disqualified from the race. In another suit, Max Ozoaka asked the court to disqualify Mr. Buhari on the ground that the INEC Form Cf 001 the APC candidate submitted to INEC was incomplete. The suits were, however, struck out days before the general election in April 2015. Messrs. Hubert and Bassey had been identified on Monday as donating $150,000 to Justice Ademola for his daughter’s wedding. The money was later converted into N37 million. Mr. Adepoju, who stated this in court, could however not trace the donors of the money to any case involving Mr. Ademola, or any of the defendants. On Tuesday the prosecution closed its case against the judge, after presenting all its witnesses. Lawyer to Mr. Ademola, Onyeachi Ikpeazu, thereafter told the court that his client would like to make a no-case-submission. The trial judge, Jude Okeke, adjourned the matter till March 15 for hearing of the application. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/224202-updated-why-buharis-lawyer-sent-n500000-gift-to-judge-accused-of-corruption-court-told.html Mynd44 Lalasticlala |

EFCC tracks N388.3b London-Paris Club refunds Consultants ‘got 2%’ Governors ‘shared 3%’ Seven governors have questions to answer in the alleged diversion of part of the N388.304billion London-Paris Club refunds into two accounts opened by the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), The Nation has learnt. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has uncovered N19billion in one of the accounts. The other is a domiciliary account, which contains a yet unspecified amount of money. One of those invited for interrogation has admitted handing over a huge sum of money to a principal officer of the National Assembly after changing it into dollars, according to the preliminary report on the management of the refunds. According to a source, who pleaded not to be named because he is not permitted to talk to the media, EFCC detectives discovered that while about 2% of the funds was paid to consultants who allegedly assisted in computing what was due to each state, 3% was shared by some governors under “curious circumstances”. The source said: “The detectives have uncovered the two accounts opened in the name of the NGF and the signatories to same. “We are looking into circumstances behind such huge deposits from London-Paris Club refunds into these accounts. “The payment of 2% of the refunds to consultants and 3% to some governors which was rated as “curious” by investigators have been confirmed. We also discovered that some of the governors nominated these consultants.” The source declined to name the seven governors, stressing that the details will be released as soon as the investigation is concluded. Responding to a question, the source said one of those questioned actually admitted that he changed some of the funds into dollars and handed it over to a principal officer of the National Assembly. Besides, he insisted that the EFCC had no any agenda against the governors, adding: “It has no basis to run the NGF down at all, but you should know that the Presidency is interested in how these London-Paris Club refunds were spent. “We know the governors have immunity, but certainly NGF does not enjoy such constitutional protection. We are looking at what informed the transfer of such funds into the accounts of the NGF and for what purposes. “Once the purposes are in line with statutory financial regulations and the EFCC is satisfied, the case is closed. But where there are cases of diversion and stealing of public funds, the law will take its course.” The Federal Government released N388.304billion of the N522.74 billion funds to 35 states as refunds of overdeductions on London-Paris Club loans. States on top of the list with huge reimbursements are those controlled by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) contrary to their claims of being oppressed by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari. The big earners are Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Rivers, Delta, Katsina, Kaduna, Lagos, Imo, Jigawa, Borno, Niger, Bauchi,and Benue. Only Kano State and the FCT did not benefit from the reimbursement. Ondo was only paid 50 per cent of its refunds (N6,513,392,932.28) because of leadership change in the state which will soon lead to the inauguration of the Governor-elect, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu. A breakdown of the list of top beneficiaries of the refunds is as follows: Akwa Ibom – N14,500,000,000.00; Bayelsa – N14,500,000,000.00; Delta—N14,500,000,000.00; Katsina -N14,500,000,000.00; Lagos – N14,500,000,000.00; Rivers-N14,500,000,000.00; Kaduna – N14,362,416,363.24; Borno-N13,654,138,849.49; Bauchi – N12,792,664,403.93; Benue – N12,749,689,453.61; Sokoto—N11,980,499,096.97; Osun– N11,744,237,793.56; Anambra– N11,386,281,466.35; Edo– N11,329,495,462.04; Cross River – N11,300,139,741.28; Kogi – N11,211,573,328.19; and Kebbi – N11,118,149,054.10. The Federal Government reached a conditional agreement to pay 25% of the amounts claimed, subject to a cap of N14.5 billion to any given state. Balances due thereafter will be revisited when fiscal conditions improve. “Mr. President’s overriding concern is for the welfare of the Nigerian people. considering the fact that many States are owing salaries and pension, causing considerable hardship,” the government said. THE NATION had exclusively reported that the presidency was uncomfortable with the funds management by governors. A source in the Presidency, who spoke in confidence, said: “President Muhammadu Buhari has lived up to his pledge to ease salary crises in all the states by releasing N388.304billion to 35 states. “The agreement between the Federal Government and the governors was very clear. While 50 per cent of the amount released shall be used to offset outstanding salary and pension arrears, the remaining 50 per cent would be used for the payment of other obligations. “Some governors have however reneged on this agreement. Security reports available to the Presidency showed that Governor Ayodele Fayose paid only one month out of eight-month salary arrears. “The governor went ahead to pay a curious 13-month salary to Ekiti workers. Yet, he got N8.877billion refund. “Instead of accounting for what he used the loan refund for, he attacked the Federal Government on hardship in the country. The relevant agencies are monitoring development in Ekiti and some states.” Responding to a question, another source in government said: “It is however unfortunate that some governors underdeclared the refunds made to them. Some of them were also discovered to be giving spurious analysis to cover up the actual figures. “In fact, some states changed the agreement overnight. A state said the President asked states to use at least 25 per cent of their London and Paris Club refuns to offset salary arrears.” http://thenationonlineng.net/seven-governors-linked-n19b-bank-account/ 1 Like |
| Politics › President Buhari Caged By Cabal As Doctors Ask Him To Shelve Work by jcflex(op): 4:21pm On Feb 19, 2017 |
SaharaReporters has learned from sources at the Presidency that President Muhammadu Buhari’s doctors have advised him to shelve the idea of returning soon to the daily routine of running Nigeria on account of the gravity of his illness. However, some of Mr. Buhari’s closest associates are goading him to defy the doctors’ recommendation and to take up the reins of power once more in Nigeria. President Buhari left Nigeria on January 19 on what was supposed to be a 10-day medical leave. He has since twice postponed his return date even as several government officials and his close aides have continued to characterize him as “hale and hearty,” insisting that he was still vacationing and would soon return to Nigeria. However, our sources, who are well briefed about Mr. Buhari’s health, disclosed that doctors managing the president have been unequivocal in warning that his condition would certainly deteriorate should he return to Nigeria without completing the first stage of his treatment. According to one of the sources, the Nigerian president’s condition has been downgraded to “full blown illness” even by members of his kitchen cabinet who are now quietly admitting that he is “ill.” However, the ailing president’s closest associates remain averse to disclosing to the Nigerian people the nature of Mr. Buhari’s illness. Saharareporters learnt that the president’s deteriorating health has got to a point where doctors are taking “extreme measures” to ensure that he eats. Mr. Buhari has progressively lost weight due to his illness and course of treatment, our sources disclosed. SaharaReporters learned that the pool of aides traveling with President Buhari have extended their hotel booking in London by at least one month starting from February 6th 2017. This means that the earliest Mr. Buhari would make it back to Nigerian soil is in early March. However, our sources revealed that some members of the president’s inner political circle continue to pressure Mr. Buhari’s doctors in the UK to allow him to return to Abuja, even if for a short time, in order to give the impression that his recovery was on course. We understand that the UK doctors have so far resisted the pressures, stating that it would be professionally irresponsible of them to clear Mr. Buhari at this stage to take up the demands of the Presidency. “I understand that the doctors [in the UK] have made it clear that Mr. President’s flight back to Nigeria could complicate things for him,” one source said. Another group of Mr. Buhari’s supporters have asked the ailing president to authorize his doctors to address the Nigerian people directly about his health situation. However, members of the president’s inner cabinet have staunchly opposed this disclosure, arguing that, since Mr. Buhari had handed over to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, there was no need to make further revelations since the VP has been vested with all the constitutional powers to run Nigeria. Some political figures, particularly governors of some northern states, have been spending extending times in London and making efforts daily to meet with the ill president. However, such meetings with Mr. Buhari have also become difficult to arrange since the ailing president’s doctors have cautioned against his meeting and smooching with visiting politicians, citing the significant drain on his already low energy. “The doctors have become very stern in restricting access to him [President Buhari],” said one source. “As a result, so many of the visiting politicians do not even get to see Mr. Buhari before returning to Nigeria empty handed,” he added. As SaharaReporters earlier revealed, President Buhari’s doctors in the UK have recommended that he would need at least a period of four months away from power to receive the full regimen of treatment for his several health challenges. A source said the president was undergoing therapy related to his prostate, declining to be more specific. A different source disclosed that the treatment had partially affected President Buhari’s voice, at one point making it almost impossible to hear him. During the week, there were rumors in Abuja that President Buhari would attend the inauguration of President Adams Barrow in the Gambia. But one source at the Presidency dismissed the rumor as “a ruse raised by some members of a cabal who are determined to see that their power is not whittled down.” Two of our sources disclosed that President Buhari’s health issues were of a chronic nature, adding that it was unlikely that the ailing president would ever be in a position to meet the full demands of his office whenever he returns to the country. “He is going to need regular trips abroad for ongoing treatment,” one stated. http://saharareporters.com/2017/02/19/president-buhari-caged-cabal-doctors-ask-him-shelve-work |

| Politics › Meet The Senator Who Signed Andrew Yakubu's Bail (photo) by jcflex(op): 7:16am On Feb 18, 2017 |
Last week, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) busted the Kaduna residence of a former managing director of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Andrew Yakubu. It was gathered that the raid on Yakubu's residence was due to a information given to the commission by a whistle-blower. Following the raid, $9.8 million and 74,000 British pounds were recovered by the EFCC. Although the former managing director claimed that the money was presented to him as gift by an associate, a Federal High Court sitting in Kano has ordered that the monies be forfeited to the federal government. Also, few days after the money was recovered by the EFCC, Yakubu was arrested and later granted administrative bail by the commission. The bail condition given by the EFCC included the provision of a surety, Daily Nigerian reports. The online news media also said a serving senator stood as surety for the former NNPC's managing director. Sources said the anti-graft agency had planned to detain Yakubu pending its conclusion on investigations against him. The source, however, the senator representing Kaduna South senatorial district (Peoples Democratic Party) Danjuma Laah, 56, filled the bail document for the release of Yakubu. He also said Laah, popularly known as 'the sleeping senator' is a regular visitor to Yakubu's Unguwan Wakili residence in Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna state. The source also said a retired military army general is among many others trooping the EFCC headquarters to facilitate Yakubu's release. https://www.naij.com/1088959-meet-senator-signed-andrew-yakubus-bail-photo.html 1 Like 1 Share
