Politics / We Must Change Tactics On Anti-graft War — Osinbajo by JosEast(m): 7:48am On Jul 15, 2020 |
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has stressed the need for Nigeria to change its tactics in the fight against corruption. Osinbajo spoke on Tuesday at the 20th Anniversary Africa Regional Webinar of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, themed “Combating Corruption and Illicit Financial Flows: New Measures and Strategies”. This is coming amidst the ongoing investigation of the suspended acting chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, over allegations of corruption. According to Osinbajo, there was no magic bullet to ending corruption, stemming IFFs or promoting asset recovery and return. He said: “We simply must work hard at it and be determined to succeed. “We must make corruption expensive for those who engage in it and send the unequivocal message that corruption simply does not pay. “Domestically, we must also be prepared to change, to some extent, our tactics in the fight against corruption. “Listening to Edward Kallon (The UN Resident Coordinator in Nigeria who spoke earlier), I’m convinced that there are many practical steps that can be taken.” The vice president called for the democratization of the fight against corruption. While noting that Nigerians were interested in the fight against grand corruption, he said grand corruption cripples the economy. “But they also want to see action in what would be regarded as petty corruption – in their interfaces with government officials either in the search for certifications, approvals of any kind, licenses, and all of that. “Many want to see that corruption at that level is tackled effectively. “And I think that we must begin to look at innovative ways of doing so. “Secondly, we must protect, even more, whistle-blowers – persons who come forward with information against corruption. “We must protect those who are ready to fight against corruption and who are prepared to do so without necessarily disclosing their identities and even those who are ready to disclose their identities.

Religion / RCCG Sacks Pastor Over Alleged Adultery by JosEast(m): 5:27pm On Jul 09, 2020 |
The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has excommunicated Gideon Bakare, one of its assistant pastors, over alleged adultery. In a viral video, Bakare was caught sitting half naked in a compromising position with a woman who is described as a wife of a member of the church’s branch in Akure, Ondo state capital. Olaitan Olubiyi, RCCG spokesperson, in a statement on Wednesday, said Bakare, by his act, had put the church in a bad light. “The Redeemed Christian Church of God has excommunicated Mr Gideon Bakare and relieved him of all ministerial duties in the Mission, “Bakare, who was an Assistant Pastor in the Church was recently accused of attempted act of adultery with a woman in her matrimonial home in Akure, Ondo State. “The Church dissociated itself from such immoral act of Mr Bakare and described it as being completely contrary to the core values, doctrines, beliefs and practices of the RCCG and the undiluted word of God. “The Church, after reviewing the report of her investigation, noted that by his conduct, Bakare has not only tainted his personal reputation but has portrayed the Church in a bad light. ”Mr Bakare has therefore been directed to return all official items in his custody and stay off all associated connections with the Mission with immediate effect,” the statement read.

Politics / How Zamfara Bandits Masterminded Doctors’ Murder by JosEast(m): 6:26am On Jul 08, 2020 |
* Suspect admits killing at least 7 people A couple of weeks ago, residents of Mareri area in Gusau metropolis woke up to the gruesome killing of a medical doctor identified as Enoch Okpara in his residence. Dr Okpara, until his murder, was the consultant gynaecologist at the Federal Medical Centre Gusau, Zamfara State. He was found dead inside his house after days of search by his colleagues who were worried over his absence from work. One of his colleagues at the FMC, Dr Kabir Sada, told Daily Trust that Dr Okpara’s murder shocked them. He described the situation as unfortunate and urged security operatives to unmask the killers. “When he came to Gusau, he was residing in his house alone because he was yet to bring his family. Some criminal elements went and killed him for reasons best known to them,” he said. “Initially, there were wide speculations among the residents that his death might not be unconnected to cult activities with many people alleging that he might belong to a cult group. “The way and manner he was killed made us link his death to cult-like activities. The assailants did not take a dime from him. His valuables were intact, even his car wasn’t touched by the attackers. “Apart from that, his body was cremated right inside his bedroom. None of the neighbours was aware of what had happened until a team of policemen arrived and went into the house,” he said. In the same vein, one of his neighbours told our correspondent that though he did not rule out armed robbery, but how the corpse was burnt made him think otherwise. “Even though for some reason someone or group of individuals might send assassins after him, coupled with the fact that common thieves and or burglars normally beat up their victims if they don’t get what they want, but his gruesome murder tells entirely a different motive,” he observed. The spokesman of the state police command, SP Muhammad Shehu, said for some days, colleagues of the deceased couldn’t reach him, and decided to check at his residence but found him dead. They invited the police to investigate the matter. However, a new twist has been added to the mystery behind the murder of the medical doctor after a middle-aged man identified as Abubakar Namalika made a confession when he was apprehended by the police. The state Commissioner of Police Usman Nagogo said on July 5, a team of policemen attached to Operation Puff Adder responded to a distress call and arrested Abubakar Namalika at Lalan area in Gusau. During interrogation, he said, the police discovered that Namalika was one of the prime suspects who participated in the murder of Dr Okpara at his residence in Gusau. The suspect confessed that he and four other members of their syndicate, namely Alhaji Shehu Bagewaye, who is a leader of Maijan Ido bandits’ camp in a forest in Gusami district of Kauran Namoda LGA of the state; Iro Tsoho, known as Danhajiya Smally; Auwalu Banawa; and Muhammad Jansaidi, now at large, committed the act He further disclosed that Alhaji Shehu Bagewaye sent them to the doctor’s house to commit the crime under the guidance of one of his younger brothers now at large. “We were sent by Alhaji Shehu Bagewaye, to rob the victim but he resisted our demand for money. “When we struck, we asked him to give us money but he refused. We decided to take his life by macheting him and setting his corpse ablaze. “I have participated in several attacks on villages in the state and killed at least seven people. But I want to tell you that we have repented, we have renounced committing crime. “I was getting only N5,000 after each of the armed robbery operations. Our masters usually go with the lion’s share of the money. And the rifles we used in the attacks belong to them. That is all that I know about it,” Namalika confessed. The police commissioner further explained that efforts have been intensified to apprehend the fleeing suspects are charged to court. Reacting to the murder, Zamfara State chapter of the Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria (MDCAN) appealed to security agencies to provide full security for medical practitioners as they strive to save the lives of citizens. The chairman and secretary of the state’s branch of MDCAN, Dr Umar Abdullahi and Dr Tume Alfred, respectively, condemned the murder of Dr Okpara and called on security agencies to fast track investigation and bring the killers to justice. The body stated that unveiling the killers of their colleague would further reassure them and other citizens of the safety of their lives and property.

Politics / Reps Investigate NNPC, NLNG Over ‘$1.05bn Withdrawals’ by JosEast(m): 2:24pm On Jul 07, 2020 |
The House of Representatives has resolved to summon the management of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) over alleged withdrawals of $1.05bn from the NLNG dividends accounts. This was sequel to the adoption of a motion under ‘Matters of Urgent Public Importance’ moved by the House Minority Leader, Ndudi Elumelu (PDP, Delta) during plenary on Tuesday. The house mandated its committee on public accounts to invite the management of the NNPC as well as that of the NLNG to conduct a thorough investigation on activities that have taken place on the dividends account and report back to the house in four weeks. Presenting the motion, Elumelu alleged that the NNPC, who represents the government of Nigeria on the board of the NLNG, had unilaterally tampered with the funds at the NLNG dividends account to the tune of $1.05 billion dollars, thereby violating the nations appropriation law. He said the alleged withdrawals were without the required consultations with states and mandatory appropriation from the national assembly.
