Shouldn't you be ashamed that you are basking in the euphoria of injury?
Bla bla bla..

I don't have the strength for a foolish and dumb argument.

If you want to jubilate or cry because of what's happening in far away middle east, nah you get your life, is none of my business.

Inflation will start falling from May.

Injured, not killed. I know you don't know the difference.

I dont understand why some of you like acting like a nuisance.

Stop speaking on my behalf please

12 people were injured.

How much is the minimum wage back then?

Iran's strike against Israel was useless to start with. It achieved nothing. No major targets were hit and no casualties. 99% of the projectiles they launched against Israel were intercepted. What kind of rubbish is that? Was that show of shame all they could come up with for the lives of 7 top IRGC Generals? Iran is a joke. Nobody takes them serious.

Israel isn't interested in feel-good face-saving shows like Iran just did. Israel hits targets!

12 Israelis were injured.
Iran is not scared of Israel.

The Federal Government of Nigeria in conjunction with the International Criminal Police Organisation have commenced the extradition process of two Indians, Jitendra Mamtora, and Satyen Mamtora, over an alleged fraudulent $25 million transformer deal.

The move followed the failure of the father and son, who are the Chairman and Managing Director of a company, Transformers and Rectifiers (Indian) Limited, to honour an invitation by the Nigeria Police Force over an indicting petition written against them.

Details of the extradition request were contained in a document written by the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice to Interpol through the Inspector General of Police, which was obtained by Sunday PUNCH.

The document read, “Re: Request for Extradition of Mr Jitendra Mamtora and Satyen Mamtora in a case of criminal conspiracy, criminal breach of trust and fraudulent conversion

“Re: An Application for Certified True Copies Of The Transmitted Request

“I write to refer to your correspondence reference number CR:3000/X/ICPO/FHQ/ABJ/THE/VOL.40/299 in respect of the above-mentioned subject.

“The Office of the Honourable Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice is pleased to forward the attached Certified True Copies of the transmitted documents as requested.

“Please accept the assurances of the warm regards and high esteem of the Honourable Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice. Zakariyya Muazu Gombe Esq, for: Assistant Director/Head, Central Authority Unit, International Criminal Justice Cooperation Department.”


About three years ago, a law firm, Lawlead Consult had petitioned the Inspector-General of Police to investigate the alleged case of Criminal Breach of Trust and Forgery against the Indian firm, Transformers and Rectifiers (India) Limited in a $25 million transformer deal.

In the petition obtained by Sunday PUNCH, which was signed by Abubakar Ndakene, the law firm called for the investigation of the chairman of Transformers and Rectifiers (Indian) Limited, Jitendra Mamtora and the Managing Director, Satyen Mamtora to answer the allegations against them and their company.

Our correspondent gathered that trouble started when Transformers and Rectifiers (Indian) Limited secured a $25 million transformer deal to supply transformers to the Transmission Company of Nigeria in a World Bank-funded project midwifed by their Nigerian agent, P-NEC Nigeria Ltd.

However, the company allegedly failed to pay the agreed commission of about 10 per cent to the Nigeria counterpart, P-NEC, which has since sparked a corporate firm battle and legal battle in 2020.

Meanwhile, Interpol, following the receipt of the petition and conclusion of its investigation, placed Jitendra Mamtora, and Satyen Mamtora on red alert notice which led to the arrest of Jitendra Mamtora in Italy.

However, following the detention of Jitendra Mamtora in Italy, he was moved to India and the Indian INTERPOL notified INTERPOL Nigeria of his arrival and requested that INTERPOL Nigeria follow diplomatic channels for the extradition of the suspect.

The Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), has since signed the extradition request.

Ozommadu:
Three obas were killed in your backyard, hundreds of students kidnapped in the north, Dr Chinelo is still fresh in our mind, lekki massacre, kogi-abuja high way kidnapping, Abuja banditry...first time high crime and kidnapping rate in the fct.

So much for security.

So all this killings were not happening under the PDP?

People were not killed because of Sharia law under the PDP?

So bandits were not killing under the PDP?

So farmers were not killed in their farm under the PDP?

So there were no ethno religious violence under the PDP?

Do you know the numbers of people who lost their lives in Lagos, pleateu etc because of violence?

I can see you're still a baby when Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram started killing under the PDP.

Please how old are you sef? Only a kid like you will claim there was no killing between 1999 and 2015.

Ozommadu:
Those PDP 16yrs are far far better than the useless and disastrous Apc you have today.

Ever heard snake swallowed millions during those days

PDP 16 years us not far far better than the APC today.

Wetin Nigerians really enjoy under PDP? Is it 24/7 power supply?

Is it good road?

Is it security?

What exactly

What the PDP couldn't do in 16 years

The Niger Delta Development Commission has confirmed that it has completed and connected the 132/33kv electricity substation it built at Ode-Erinje in Okitipupa Local Government Area of Ondo State to the national grid.

The NDDC’s Executive Director of Projects, Victor Antai, while speaking during an inspection of the project, described the power station as a legacy project that would boost economic activities in Ondo State and improve the living standards of the benefitting communities.

Antai stressed that the NDDC was committed to providing electricity to oil-producing communities in Ondo South Senatorial District that had been without electricity for the past 15 years.

He added that the sub-station would be inaugurated in April.

“The power sub-station is a legacy project which is in line with the directive of our Managing Director/CEO, Dr Samuel Ogbuku, to see to the completion and commissioning of legacy projects that will make a meaningful impact on the lives of our people.

“The MD/CEO has also directed that we replicate this legacy project across all states in the Niger Delta and we thank the President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu for giving the NDDC a performing Governing Board that has the interest of the people at heart,” he said.

He added, “We are committed to lighting up all the local government areas and the oil-producing communities in Ondo South Senatorial District.


“This is part of NDDC’s mandate to provide infrastructure and development projects in the Niger Delta region. The Commission is committed to fulfilling this mandate by completing all ongoing projects.”

Antai also noted that the power substation would provide electricity to over 2,000 communities across five local government areas within the oil-producing region of Ondo State, significantly impacting lives by ending decades of darkness.

He added that the NDDC had awarded a contract for the total rehabilitation of the distribution network because it was eager to hook up the power lines to the injection substation and enable the benefiting communities to enjoy electricity from the national grid.

Speaking further on the project, Benson Obayelu, who spoke for the contracting firm, said that the scope of the power project covered the evacuation of light from Omotosho with a step down at Ode-Erinje, Okitipupa, through a 132KV double circuit transmission line with two 30/40MVA transformers.


He noted, “The transmission lines run through Ireje with 145 electricity towers that are standing on concrete foundations.”

Obayelu said that the scope covers the evacuation of light from Omotosho with a step down at Ireje through a 132KV double circuit line with two 30/40MVA transformers at Okitipupa.

He observed that five local government areas in the Southern Senatorial district of Ondo State that have been without public power supply would be connected when the project was completed.


In his remarks, the Acting National Chairman of the Traditional Rulers of Oil Mineral Producing Communities of Nigeria, TROMPCON, Dr Obafemi Ogbaro, said that in Ondo South Senatorial District, nothing mattered more than being connected to the national grid of the country, lamenting that his people had been in darkness for many years.

The Ondo State Representative on the NDDC Board, Otito Atikase, observed that several communities across five local government areas in the oil production belt of Ondo state were eagerly waiting for the lights to be turned on in their localities.

He said access to electricity was essential for economic development and improving the quality of life of the people, noting that lack of electricity had hindered growth and development in many communities in the Niger Delta region.

“NDDC’s efforts to provide electricity to these communities will have a significant impact on their lives and contribute to the overall development of the region”, Atikase stated.

The PUNCH reported that the NDDC disclosed that it had completed a 132/33kv electricity substation at Ode-Erinje in Okitipupa Local Government Area of Ondo State, saying it will be inaugurated soon.

The NDDC Director of Corporate Affairs, Pius Ughakpoteni, disclosed this in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Monday, March 19, 2024.

Ughakpoteni noted that the sub-station would be handed over to the Transmission Company of Nigeria for operational management after the inauguration.


He added that the milestone achievement was on the back of the performance bond recently signed by the interventionist agency with the Ministry of Niger Delta Development.

There are Nigerian soldiers who do pansh their colleagues wives. They deserve this kind of treatment.

Useless stat

Biodun556:
Pressure on naira was not real. Naira was falling due to irresponsible attitude of some Nigerians like those who collect school fees in dollars, governors converting FAAC to dollars to make it easy to steal and bureau de change profiteers.

Almost every financial experts and institutions around the world were claiming the naira is undervalued, but igbo obidients were claiming it's because we're not exporting

The two seats can cost Davido more than #30m or more

coputa:
how will that affect the election

I said it will have an effect on Biden in the presidential election oga... Go through my comment again

coputa:
how

The price of petrol, gas and diesel will become more expensive in the USA.

I'm sure a bunker was also built there

michlins:
Ukraine should have known that by now that they're being used.

Imagine, USA is telling them not to attack Russian refineries because it will disrupt energy security in other words,it will get prices spiraling out of control. Meanwhile Russia has been bombing their country and their most important assets like wheat.

What this means is that you can fight Russia and take damages but don't harm them because we still need them

If the price of oil shoots up, it will have an effect on Biden in the presidential election

If it leads to the price of oil shooting up, Nigeria and the naira will benefit from it.

JASONjnr:
I'm not igboz but not everyone who criticise the bad policies of the government is Igbo.

Infact, you guys have succeeded in turning the Igbo name as "anti"

Even if a northerner wakes up tomorrow and threatened not to vote Tinubu for a second term, you will likely blame Igbos for that. Just like the NEF declared!

I hope you do call out Igbo tribalist and the hypocrites called obidients too

UselessBuharist:
Who are you ?

show nairalanders your evidence

DMerciful:
Emefiele's policy of defending the naira!
Only thing is that the naira is foolishly being defended at a higher price that does not favour the govt nor the citizens.

How can the illegitimate president damage his presidency by himself?!

You will wail till 2031
