| Politics › NYSC Scandal: Kemi Adeosun Not A Nigerian – Adoke by Parizz(op): 2:19pm On Jul 17, 2021 |
A former Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Mohammed Adoke, has said a former Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun could not be said to remain a Nigerian citizen, having earlier forfeited it. Under the 1963 constitution, which was in force in 1967 when Mrs Adeosun was born, a person born to Nigerian parents in a foreign country, were allowed to enjoy dual citizenship up till when he or she clocked 21. At 21 the person must renounce the citizenship of the foreign country or would forfeit his or her Nigerian citizenship. The law remained the same under the 1979 constitution which was in force when Mrs Adeosun graduated from the university at the age of 22 in 1989.’ But Mrs Adeosun, born in the U.K., did not renounce her British citizenship when she clocked 21, therefore forfeiting her Nigerian citizenship at the time. “From my reading and understanding of the sections of the Constitution, it is my finding that the plaintiff not being a citizen of Nigeria in 1989 when she graduated from the University of East London, London, United Kingdom, was not eligible to participate in the National Youth Service Scheme,” the Federal High Court’s judgment read in part. The judge agreed with Mrs Adeosun’s lawyer that she only regained her Nigerian citizenship when the 1999 constitution came into force. He added that she was already 36 by the time she returned to Nigeria in 2003, and was no longer eligible to participate in the NYSC scheme having crossed the age limit of 30 as of then. But when PREMIUM TIMES sought his comment on the matter, Mr Adoke argued that having lost her Nigerian citizenship when she was 21 by not renouncing her U.K. citizenship as expected under the 1979 constitution, Mrs Adeosun could not automatically regain her Nigerian citizenship under the 1999 constitution without going through any process. “How did she regain her citizenship? Was that citizenship having regained, without going through a process? Can you regain something that has been forfeited? And even if we say so, does it mean it is as of right or she has to go through a process to regain her citizenship? “So she has to tell us at what point she regained her citizenship and what step she took, to become a Nigerian citizen after she has lost her citizenship. The issue is not as simple as they are making it to look like. “Some schools of thought will tell you that she is no longer a Nigerian citizen as of the time of the 1999 constitution came into operation. “She forfeited her citizenship, and you cannot backdate that law. If she wants to become a Nigerian citizen, she has to become a Nigerian citizen by a process.” He said citizenship “cannot be dormant which you can reactivate”, adding, “There is nothing like dormant citizenship”. This, he said, raises the question of her being appointed to be a minister or a commissioner when she was not a Nigerian. He added, “Because people want to help her, they are also being intellectually dubious by not going into the provisions of our law critically. “So, if she says she has become a citizen of Nigerian, at what point did she become a Nigerian citizen, and what was the process she went through to become a Nigerian citizen. This is a germane question she needs to be asked. Mr Adoke also said he would have filed forgery-related charges against Mrs Adeosun, over her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate scandal if he was in office as the chief law officer. Mr Adoke told PREMIUM TIMES that the recent judgment obtained by Mrs Adeosun did not clear her of the NYSC certificate forgery scandal that saw to her exit from office in September 2018. Mrs Adeosun claimed to have been vindicated after the Federal High Court in Abuja delivered a judgement on her non-participation in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme. The court ruled in the judgement delivered on July 7, 2021 that Mrs Adeosun could not have participated in the scheme due to her forfeited citizenship at the time of her graduation from a United Kingdom university in 1989. It added that the Nigerian constitution, under which she regained her citizenship in 1999, did not require a person to possess the NYSC certificate to be appointed a minister. The judgment cleared Mrs Adeosun of liability for not participating mandatory national youth service, but not for her submission of a forged exemption certificate, which she presented for her ministerial appointment in 2015, Mr Adoke said. The ex-AGF said the issue was not about her eligibility to participate in the NYSC scheme, but about an alleged forgery which she owned up to in her letter of resignation. “By her own admission, in her letter of resignation, she did admit that unknown to her that the letter of exemption given to her or procured for her was later discovered to be forged. And I think that settles the matter. “Having taken ownership and having presented that document as part of her credentials, I think she has admitted to forgery. And I do not think the issue is whether or not the constitution requires that, to be appointed as a minister, you need whether NYSC certificate. The issue is forgery simpliciter,” Mr Adoke said. Mr Adoke maintained that the issue of Mrs Adeosun’s eligibility to participate in the NYSC scheme “is beside the point”. “Having submitted and claimed ownership of that document, she has acted in a manner that is injurious to the provisions of the law and run foul of the law,” Mr Adoke said. “If I were the Attorney-General, I would have asked the DPP (Director of Public Prosecution) to charge her to court.” Asked if he could have acted to the contrary even if the prevailing political authorities at the time are not in support of her prosecution, Mr Adoke said, “Don’t forget that there is no time limit to crime. So, if one political climate is one that favours that she should not be prosecuted, another climate can reopen the matter.” Background A PREMIUM TIMES report in July 2018, had revealed that Mrs Adeosun presented a forged exemption certificate of the NYSC to be appointed minister in 2015. The report revealed that the former minister, born to Nigerian parents in the United Kingdom, where she also schooled and graduated in 1989 at 22, had skipped the national youth service mandatory for Nigerian graduates who are under age 30. In 2011, she presented a forged NYSC certificate purporting to exempt her from the national youth service to the Ogun State House of Assembly to be appointed the commission for finance of the state. She also presented the forged document to the State Security Service (SSS) and the Nigerian senate to be appointed minister in 2015. Following PREMIUM TIMES report exposing the scandal in July 2018, the President Muhammadu Buhari administration set up a team to investigate the scandal. The team, led by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, confirmed the forgery. This led to Mrs Adeosun’s resignation on September 14, 2014. She admitted in her resignation letter that the NYSC exemption certificate was forged but claimed she only got to know of it after the PREMIUM TIMES report exposing the scam. However, almost three years after she resigned from office on September 14, 2018, the Federal High Court in Abuja ruled on July 7 that she needed not to present an NYSC certificate to be appointed minister. Although the judgement did not review the allegation that she submitted a forged NYSC exemption certificate, Mrs Adeosun said, in her reaction, that the “ruling vindicates me after a very traumatic spell”. ‘She was not persecuted’ The former AGF also faulted the impression being given by Mrs Adeosun that she was being persecuted. He said, the former finance minister, having admitted to the forgery in her resignation letter, “she should have shown some kind of penitence, rather than coming from the point of view as if she has been unduly persecuted.” He added, “The issue of why she was pressured to resign from office has nothing to do with whether or not she met the requirement of being appointed a minister under the constitution other than that she produced or exhibited a letter of exemption from the NYSC, exempting her from participating on the account of the fact that she was not eligible to participate.” https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/474178-nysc-scandal-kemi-adeosun-not-a-nigerian-adoke.html |

| Crime › Two Policemen, Three Others To Die For Kidnapping by Parizz(op): 9:59am On Jul 17, 2021 |
Akwa Ibom State High Court sitting, in Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area of the state has sentenced two police officers and three other persons to death for kidnapping in the state. The accused were sentenced to death yesterday for kidnapping an Uyo based cattle dealer one Alh Muhammed Umar Barkindo. The court presided over by Justice Eno Isangedighi held that the accused were guilty of the offence. She said:“the prosecution has proved its case beyond reasonable doubts and found the accused guilty of conspiracy and kidnapping Alhaji Muhammad Umar Barkindo on November 25, 2011, an offense punishable by death in Section one subsection two of Akwa Ibom State Internal Security and Enforcement Law 2009.” Justice Isangedighi prayed God to have mercy upon the souls of the condemned kidnappers.” The condemned police officers are Corporal Friday Udo, a native of Ikot Inyang in Oruk Anam Local Government Area and Corporal Saturday Okorie of Ikot Etenge also in Oruk Anam who have since been dismissed from the Nigeria Police Force. Others condemned to death were Walter Jack Udo, a native of Iwok Nsit in Nsit Atai, Udo Moses Akpaetuk of Ikot Ada Idem, Ibiono Ibom and Udo Okon Etim from Ikot Asua in Nsit Atai whose house was used for custody of the victim, while demanding N100million ransom. The judgement laid to rest the 10 years trial of the 8-man squad who were also linked to the kidnap of a medical expert at the University of Uyo, Dr. Ini Enang in August, 2011, a case which the court discharged and acquitted the accused for want of evidence. Meanwhile, the three other accused persons died in the course of their trial with their names struck out by the court. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2021/07/two-policemen-three-others-to-die-for-kidnapping/ |
| Politics › ALGON Seeks Four Years Tenure For Council Chairmen by Parizz(op): 12:43pm On Jul 16, 2021 |
The Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, ALGON, has disclosed that top of its submission at the recently concluded national assembly zonal public hearings on the amendment of the 1999 constitution was its quest to extend the tenure of local government chairmen to statutory four years. ALGON, therefore, asked its members and affiliates to pursue the matter through persistent engagement with both National and States legislators to ensure that the amendment is enacted in the process of the constitution amendment. ALGON also said that it is asking for an increment of the federal allocation to the councils from its present 20.60 to 35.5 per cent, so as to make the local government system more effective in its grassroots development. Furthermore, the association wants the state and local government joint account to be scrapped in order to free the councils from the stranglehold and domination of the state governments. ALGON made the disclosures at its third rotational National Executive Council meeting, just concluded in Enugu, where its National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Solomon Onah disclosed that other resolutions reached the meeting included ALGON’s support to the issue of State Police so as to curtail the rising insecurity challenges. On the issue of the ALGON Comprehensive Primary Healthcare Centres, the NEC expressed its dissatisfaction and displeasure with the Contractor over the limited and poor number of projects executed across the country. NEC directed that the Contractor should move back to the site within one week and that an additional 300 PHCs should be completed, fully equipped and delivered to ALGON on or before the end of August 2021. The association threatened to take necessary steps to enforce compliance by the Contractor. Onah said that ALGON has taken the initiative of bringing to an end ‘Multiple Taxation of goods and services, and illegal roadblocks across the country with National Anti Multiple Taxation Scheme, NAMTAXS, and National Transit Insurance Scheme, NATIS. “This will optimally address food security challenges, reduce the cost of goods and inflation in the country and strengthen the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of the Local Governments and Area Councils in collaboration with the States, Federal Government and their stakeholders. NEC is happy that the projects will seek to assemble all the road users and capture them into its tax net. NEC equally set up a five (5) man committee to properly harmonize all modalities for their take-off and report back in two weeks for implementation,” Onah said. On the sustainable paradigm shift to develop the capacity of members and collaborate with Local and International Agencies, NEC approved continuous engagement with key stakeholders. They also passed a vote Of Confidence on the National President, Hon Kolade David Alabi, for his inclusive leadership. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2021/07/algon-seeks-four-years-tenure-for-council-chairmen-2/ |

| Politics › Reps Mull Pay-per-view, Price Reduction For DSTV, Others by Parizz(op): 8:22am On Jul 15, 2021 |
The House of Representatives has considered the pay-per-view, pay-as-you-go and price reduction for DSTV and other cable satellite operators in the country. This followed the adoption of the reports and recommendation of the Ad–hoc Committee on Non–Implementation of Pay–As–You–Go and sudden Increment of Tariffs plan by Broadcast Digital Satellite Service Providers. Rep Unyime Idem, the chairman of the Committee had earlier laid the report before the House and was considered by the House on Wednesday in Abuja. The House called on the Federal Government as a matter of urgency to expedites action on implementing the content of the National Broadcasting Code and the Nigeria information Policy of 2014. The House noted that this would trigger healthy competition in the industry, adding that the entertainment industry had a wider spectrum with limitless opportunities for the teeming youths. The House stated that the visible absence of competitors in the industry was tacit approval of monopoly of the industry by the present operators. The House suggested that timely application of government regulatory intervention measures already articulated would revolutionise the industry and meet the people’s yearnings for Pay-as-you-go, Pay-Per-View, and price reduction. According to the recommendation, our extant laws that moderate operations in the industry is to be fine- tuned to meet the 21st- century regulatory laws of the industry that is dynamic as the entertainment industry. The House noted that the commission that had the power to license and regulate the activities of service providers must also have the power to moderate in the protection of consumers. The House stated that there was little or nothing a regulator could do if he was handicapped by laws that were not properly tailored to the needs of the society. According to the reports, price increase and reduction have always been contentious issues for producers and consumers in the business world. The House also listed the factors responsible for the hike in subscription fees as the recent increment of VAT by 2.5 per cent by the Financial Amendment Act of Jan. 13, 2020, the fluctuating foreign exchange rate in the country that affects the cost of content. Others are: broadcast equipment, experienced hire and technical infrastructure, increase in bouquets for a wider choice, inflation on the cost of production, and need to maintain the workforce. They identified the need of not throwing many young Nigerians, who are gainfully employed by pay-tv into the labour market were some necessary indices for the price hike. The report noted that the use of Nigerian NigComSat or Nigerian Satellite that is still under-utilised was advocated by the committee. The House urged the Management of NigComSat to embark on the creation of awareness to companies and Organisations that made use of satellite facilities. The House advised satellite infrastructure users to look inwards and patronise the country’s satellite, reduce the cost of production and services and generate income for the Government. The House stated that all obstacles that make use of NigComSat less attractive to the end-users must be looked into as utilisation of the Satellite was key to resolving the issue. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2021/07/reps-mull-pay-per-view-price-reduction-for-dstv-others-2/ |

| Politics › Police Arrest Alleged Mastermind Of Haiti President’s Murder by Parizz(op): 9:44am On Jul 12, 2021 |
Haiti’s national police on Sunday announced the arrest of the suspected mastermind in the assassination of President Jovenel Moise . A Haitian doctor living in the U.S. state of Florida was arrested, police chief Leon Charles said at a news conference. The suspected killers called him after the attack and evidence was found in his flat, Mr Charles said. The 63-year-old doctor recently arrived in Haiti on a private plane to seize the presidency, he said. He allegedly hired Colombian mercenaries through a private Venezuelan security firm based in Florida. The doctor is the third U.S. resident of Haitian origin – and the 21st person overall – to be detained as a suspect in the case. The other two also reportedly lived in Florida. The U.S. state is some 1,000 kilometres away from Haiti. Police have said 26 Colombian mercenaries were involved in the murder overall, three were killed, 18 suspects were in detention and police were seeking the remaining five. High-ranking U.S. officials who are expected to help with the investigation met with Mr Charles on Sunday. Moise, 53, was shot dead at his residence in Port-au-Prince in the early hours of Wednesday. His wife Martine was seriously injured and taken to Florida for treatment. The reasons for the attack remain unclear. Mr Moise, in office since 2017, was extremely unpopular. He was accused of corruption, links to brutal gangs and autocratic tendencies. The impoverished Caribbean nation was already gripped by a power struggle. Two men have declared themselves interim prime minister, and the Senate elected its leader Joseph Lambert to succeed Moise as president on an interim basis on Friday. Lambert supports Ariel Henry as prime minister. Henry had been appointed as premier by Moise on Monday but interim prime minister Claude Joseph has been in charge of the government since the murder. Presidential and legislative elections in the country are scheduled for September.
