the same excuses you have given for BAT are also applicable to Patience Jonathan... then how come she is being hounded while you give excuse for BAT?

Nope don't even go there, she was a permanent secretary in bayelsa state civil service and the wife of the president 2 direct means of enrichment, the money was found in her account during that same period, her asset declaration which she was supposed to do did not reflect it that's if she even declared any assets -did not include this money, finally that money could have been fraudulently acquired - it's left for patience as a public officer to prove beyond reasonable doubt that it was not acquired fraudulently while she was a civil servant - that is the advantage other wives of former presidents have that she doesn't they are and we're not in the employ of govt at any level- BAT is a private citizen and this said funds except you can trace it to any form of stolen money or graft it's a waste of tax payers money to investigate it, hate him it changes nothing that he hasn't committed any crime - it's his money he can request for it anytime

EFCC keeps mum over Tinubu’s bullion vans ahead of 2019 election
May 25, 2019Samuel Ogundipe

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday declined comments about whether it had launched an investigation to find out how former Lagos governor, Bola Tinubu, came about the bullion vans that drove into his home in February.

Nigerians have mounted pressure on the anti-graft office to open money laundering probe against Mr Tinubu, after the ruling party chieftain was seen on February 22 receiving at least two armoured vehicles believed to be bearing cash.

The development raised controversies because it came a day to the presidential election on February 23.


Mr Tinubu is a senior leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), and a strong ally of President Muhammadu Buhari, who was seeking reelection at the time.

Critics said there was no doubt the vehicles were conveying cash to bribe voters with, especially since such trucks are used in Nigeria almost exclusively to convey cash by banks, government institutions and cash-in-transit firms.

Mr Tinubu’s action was widely deemed contrary to Nigerian anti-money laundering laws, which places a cap of N5 million ( about $14,000) on cash handling by individuals.


The former Lagos governor admitted the next day that the bullion vans were conveying money to his house, but he defended his action as out of public’s interest because he was not a government official.

Transparency deferred
Many Nigerians expected the EFCC to investigate the incident for possible violation of Nigerian laws.

But the anti-graft office has declined to comment on the matter — and there is no evidence it is investigating it.

The first comments from the agency on the scandal came during a tweet meet on Thursday, during which the agency found a convenient opening to circumvent explanation.


“It is a matter of principle by the EFCC not to discuss in public, issues that border around investigations,” the agency said during the hour-long chat organised by the Tap Initiative in Abuja.


The Tap Initiative, an Abuja-based public policy think-tank, had asked whether or not the EFCC saw potential violations of anti-money laundering regulations in Mr Tinubu’s conduct.

The agency only confirmed that it had secured convictions over vote-buying offences, while several other investigations were ongoing around the same crimes.

It was unclear whether acting-chairman Ibrahim Magu took part in the tweet meet, but EFCC sources told PREMIUM TIMES on Friday night that the responses of the agency came from a senior anti-graft official.


Contributors dismissed the EFCC’s explanation during the tweet meet, saying the agency was reluctant to investigate Mr Tinubu because of his status as an ally of the president.

Martin Obono, the director of Tap Initiative, said the organisation does not engage in partisan commentary about its guests’ submission during a tweet meet, but the citizens have a right to challenge any replies they deem unsatisfactory.

“We have brought the EFCC as a guest on our May 23, 2019, edition of tweet meet, and asked questions that we believe were in the public interest,” Mr Obono said. “But if Nigerians found some of the responses insufficient, they can challenge them to move the conversation forward.”


It was the second time the EFCC would participate in the tweet meet, which Tap Initiative introduced in 2018 to engage public officials for updates on their activities.

Its first appearance came in November 2018, during which the agency similarly declined comments about Abdullahi Ganduje, the Kano State governor who was caught on video receiving wads of dollars in alleged bribes from public works contractor.




https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/331537-efcc-keeps-mum-over-tinubus-bullion-vans-ahead-of-2019-election.html

First the question is did he commit any financial crime or graft ?2ndly were the bullion vans movement traced to any public graft? 3rdly can a private citizen request for cash withdrawals from his account for personal use? Did it follow due process of cash withdrawal and delivery? If all the first questions answer is NO! 2nd NO! 3rd is YES! And the final question is YES! Then there is no case in the matter - dangote once requested that $10m cash be withrawn and I am sure it was a bullion van they used to transport the money to his house - so??

They should keep that locomotive, because it has a lot of history to tell generation yet unborn O!

That this was the machine so many nigerians thru successive govt used to pilfer nigeria's common patrimony

Back to the issue at hand. Do you know what status of limitation means? Let not even get into that. The arrest is in 2019 and there is no indication in the story the deals happened earlier, other than appendixes by mischievous elements here.

There is no statue of limitation for a criminal offense, the details or the terms of this matter or the kind of plea bargain he admitted to, is also not known to us- so it would be difficult to say what part of the rulings would fall under civil or criminal in any country except it's completely a civil offense -

Meaning his license was not renewed for the year 2013 and 2014 , that doesn't mean it was not renewed in 2015, be that as it Maybe, the activities took place during the period when his license, was not renewed

sonnie10:
That date only indicates when he lost his business license. So, that is the main reason he got in trouble, for continuing to do business in 2019

Do you think business runs in America the way it runs in nigeria? Where you can just do anything and get away with it? Why do you u think road traffic officers would not run after you when you beat a speed limit? - it's because the transaction would go by your bank as your number plate is attached to your account, so also the renewal of ur drivers license same applies, now to business license, and let me stress this point it is a license, so it's renewed on a yearly basis or as deemed right by their laws- which means his license could have been renewed in 2014, 2015 etc but because there was a ban for those 2 specific years 2012/13 and he transacted a deal , he committed an offense and that was what he is been charged for - if you notice all the arms nigeria has been using to prosecute this war has all come from Ukraine or Russia since this administration came to office

An Ikeja High court sitting in Lagos State on Monday, sentenced two former gang members of billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudimeme Onwuamadike, also known as Evans to 41 years in prison.

Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo sentenced the convicts, 32-year-old Kelvin Emenike Ukoh and Emeka Obasi, 33 over the abduction of one Ugoje Jude, a shipping agent, and his staff, Miss Piriye Gogo on August 3, 2012.

The convicts were arraigned in 2013 alongside three others: Uche Igbani, 28, Chibuzor Osuagwu, 33 and a 36-year-old woman, Onowu Ngozi, on a 14 count-charge bothering on conspiracy, kidn

The gang had kidnapped Ugoje and another staff, Piriye Gogo who were taken to an unknown destination by their leader, Evans.

Narrating her ordeal before the court, Miss Gogo said that the three men accosted them with rifles on their way home and that she was almost raped inside the car, but was saved by her monthly menstrual period.

While being led in evidence before the court, Gogo disclosed that during the abduction, one of the kidnappers, Obasi, came into the car, after dragging her boss out for negotiation at an undisclosed location, and started handling with her breast.

Gogo said, “He came into the car, tore my clothes, pulled down a side of my bra and began caressing my breast. He thereafter started dragging down my shirt and I began begging him. I begged him until I had nothing else I could plead with. I begged him intensely for mercy and even told him that I was menstruating.

“It was as though all my pleas fail on deaf ears, I had to insert my hand into my vagina just to show him. The blood I showed him prevented him from raping me. It was a terrible experience.

“He, thereafter, asked whether Mr. Jude was the owner of the company. And I replied that we were just clearing agents. They also seized our mobile phones, jewellery and money.

“They blindfolded Mr. Jude, brought him back into the car, asked me to face down with my eyes closed, and then drove off to another location. They spoke Igbo almost all the time so I could barely understand what they were saying or taking us to.

“While driving off to the other location, they asked if I could drive, I said no. So they dropped down from the car and took Mr Jude with them. They ordered me to face down and not look at their faces or I will be shot dead. They abandoned me and the Honda pilot car at 2nd bridge alongside expressway, where I waited until I saw a police patrol and flagged them.

Also testifying, Jude said his abductors initially ordered him to pay N10m for his release but after negotiations, they collected N5m.

After listening to them, the trial judge, Justice Taiwo convicted and sentenced Ukoh and Obasi to 5, 15 and 21 years for conspiracy, kidnapping and armed robbery respectively, while the other three were discharged and acquitted by court.

The judge held that the prosecution could not prove that those acquitted Igbani, Osuagwu and Ngozi were linked to the alleged charges of murder, conspiracy, kidnapping and armed robbery.

This our judiciary is not serving justice yet, they are not supposed to discharge any of them all of them should serve a jail term of at least 35yrs since they turned this evil into a job, they should be flogged every week to instill and inflict pain on them, same with the 93 caught along abuja kaduna express way minimum jail term 35 yrs death sentence for the accused/culprits and execution of their family because a snake will always give birth to a snake maximum sentence

grandstar:
How can you pump prime an economy suffering from stagflation? It will simply spike up inflation and the CBN will be forced to increase interest rates to mop up excess money and cool down inflation. That's why lending rates are so high.

A different route would have made sense.

One,the pegging of the Naira to the dollar by Buhari worsened the downturn caused by the collapse in crude oil prices. This plunged the economy into a very severe recession lasting 6 quarters.

The steps government should have taken are these:

1. End the multiple exchange rate policy which screams quacks are in charge of running the economy and this destroys investors confidence. It also creates distortions in the economy, deprives the 3 tiers of government revenue and is a major source of corruption today.

2. Slash company tax to 12%.and end withholding tax on dividends.

This will encourage both local and foriegn investments into the country. Low taxes is a proven formula for fast economic growth. That's the secret of Ireland today and it's also helping Central European economies as well

The above 2 would be enough to revive the economy and make it grow by at least 6% annually for years.

Everything you have said is wrong but 1, ending of the multiple exchange rates - but you also failed to state the fact as it is today the exchange rate in the open and black market have considerably closed up you can get it from the cbn at N360 and the black market at N365 - the N306 is used for economic reading purposes i.e crude oil exchange rate and payment of debts to international lenders

A slash of income tax would not necessarily lead to more funds for investment because every business man wants to maximize profit by reducing cost - so I beg to defer on the kind of inflation we have, we don't have stagflation? we don't even have the right term of definition for our inflation - start with what is inflation excess money chasing few goods- then bend into the definition of profit mark up of the cost so is inflation bad NO! The right level of inflation is what we have not been able to find- to our scenario is excess money chasing few goods? Where Is the money, if you want to debate this look at the stock market excess money in the economy goes there- but what is the value of the stock market today N10.8trn so do we have inflation? In my analysis we have CPI inflation and it's caused by middle men, cost of logistics - my opinion is we do not have the right level of production by labour - meaning we are not creating wealth commensurate with our under quoted population, causing a demand for what is few, with no money to even buy the few items, because we are a cash based economy - let's leave it at this for now - enjoy your day

Further more we are not out of recession we are only on a recession break because of the improved price of crude oil

This Paris club money no dey finish, abi we Don get shares for Paris club? Or wetin I go call this kind money - royalties? E no dey finish ni?

This is no longer funny.

The spate of suicides in the country is becoming alarming.

Almost on a weekly basis these days, news of suicide are reported.

While we were still trying to come to terms with the suicide story of Shepherd House Church gospel minister yesterday, the Rapid Response Squad of the Nigeria Police Force averted another case of suicide.

According to the social media post of the Rapid Response Squad, the individual attempting to leap to his death from the Third Mainland Bridge is a Chartered Accountant.

The post goes thus:

“This man, (name withheld) was prevented from jumping off 3MB into the Lagoon this morning. We had a little chat with him and he revealed that he’s a graduate and a chattered accountant. He was handed over to Adekunle Police Station, who have contacted his family. #TheGoodGuys”.

A nurse has incurred a deep knife wound on her neck while trying to resist rape.

The Kano State Police arrested a 20-year-old man called Bashir Yahaya over his attempt to rape a nurse at her duty post at a clinic in Taludu quarters, Gwale Local Government Area.

The spokesman of the command, DSP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, said the suspect, Bashir Yahaya, trailed his victim to the clinic, tried to rape her and in the process injured her with the knife.

He added that the victim who was left with a deep cut on her neck was rescued by one Zayyanu Abdulhamid who also suffered a knife-cut injury from the suspect.

The injured woman has since been treated and discharged from the hospital while the suspect is in police custody under investigation.

The suspect was arrested at the scene and the weapon was recovered from him. He confessed to attempted rape and when she resisted he was forced to use the knife so she could comply with his wishes.
