fasterwell: He described the handover as a milestone as the configuration of the aircraft was fitted for military combat operations. He said the handover had presidential approval adding that all legal issues had also been considered. CUSTOMS NAF SEIZED If the Presidency is involved in the transfer, how would Col. Ali not be involved. For you to claim Wike can bribe the costoms officer to make that comment, shows you don't know how govement NDA operate. 1 Like |

lastpage: Ogbeni Lastpage, Denial is also form lying. That Chopper has been with the Costoms for over one year, and they are dynig not knowing the owners, abba! So you agree that the choppers were imported by Rivers state government under Amaechi. Whether it's JV with other oil coys, the government should have started the true pictures of everything before coming to press. Instead of creating the impression some criminals illegally imported Choppers into the country. 1 Like |

zheroes: Did you watch and listen to the video clip at all? Did you hear the Custom officer say they don't k ow the importer? In fairness, the Custom officer said that the consignment was legally seized and fortieted to the federal government because the 'impprter' did not meet the requirements of clearing it. That the customs did not mention the name and particulars of the importer does not mean the importer is unknown or is a ghost. It is ethical to just call the defaulter 'importer' instead of dishing out full particulars. The subject matter here is forfeiture of consignment and not the owner of the consignment. |

This issue is simple legally,imagine you imported a car into Apapa port,You could not pay the custom duty and relevant levies to clear your container,on or before,you start seeking waiver from the president to waive your duties or levies,meanwhile NCS has gone to COURT to get a forfeiture order,and thereafter auctioned the car to MR A.do you now go to MR.A thereafter and tell him that you donated the CAR to him.The CEMA Act should be read properly before commenting on this issue. 1 Like |

stuffs4me: You can label me with what you want it does not take away the truth. There is a process for purchasing airbone vehicles. The global standard is controlled very tightly and there are several checkpoints and oversights put in place to prevent an accidental slip where a highly sophisticated piece of engineering and proprietary technology will end in wrong hand and cause international embarassment and loss of political goodwill. Bell Helicopters, USA, makes two categories of rotor blade aircraft, civilian and military grades. They are not interchangeable but can be retooled to arm the civilian chopper for military dispatch. The particular chopper here in customs posession is military grade. Which means it is preconfigured for battle readiness. After 9/11 tighter regulations were passed relating to vibil and military aviation in US and through international agreements those regulations have pretty much become global best practice for offer, profurement, shipping and delivery of military grade crafts, whether fixed wing or rotor craft. I know these things because Im intimately involved in trades and shows of militaryware exhibitions. Lagos State, by international treaty, cannot submit interest direct to manufacturer for procurement of a military or para-military equipment. Their request must go through the sovereign authority that is signatory to the treaty. That will be the Federal Government of Nigeria. So Lagos State expresses interest to the ONSA to procure choppers for security and air patrol. Their specifications is reviewed and tendered for concurrence with the Defense Hqs. Defense forwards interest in the specifications through established vetted channels who first submits the application to US Consulate Security Officer to establish on record that the application is in conformance with rules. This seal of approval is communicated with Pentagon and State Dept inviting them to comment on the application. If their commentary is good the Nigerian buyer is put through to the American manufacturer/seller and the sale, shipment and delivery can proceed from there. Sometimes Pentagon has its own surplused equipments and may act to refer the sale to a depot for execution. So if Lagos State puts in an order today for chopper, considering the lengthy bureaucracy at the regulation check points in both countries it may end up lasting two years before the equipment itself gets here. No state govt in Nigeria is a party to any defense or military treaty beyond the sovereign limits of Nigeria and they are therefore not qualified to go to the international market and purchase military hardware on their own. So how did Rivers State get its assault-grade military choppers? No need to speculate here. Start the trail by answering question on why billions of dollars seized on Pastor Oritsejafor private jet in SA was smuggled into that country and in violation of international banking rules and diplomatic protocols. Jonathan sucked up on the responsibility to cover up the dirty tracks of his errand boys shuttling across international airspace buying military hardware undercoverfor help launder money for terrorism. These choppers were not bought from US. Under Obama, and throughout Jonathan administration, US refused to sell us combat equipments. Reading from the first letter written by Wike and dated Sept 2015, this should serve as a reference point for Wike's role and possible incrimination in the attempted smuggle of military hardware into the country and subsequently his attempt at cover up to obstruct justice. Feb 2015 - Electoral voting for Presidential Election postponed by NSA Dasuki. March 2015 - Presidential Election held April 2015 - Wike won election to succeed Amaechi as Governor of Rivers State. Sept 2015 - Wike wrote letter Question_ 1. In what capacity did Wike draft and wrote his first letter of Sept of 2016? 2. Where is the letter of interest or order of procurement from the Chief Security of Rivers State, Amaechi, whom Wike claims is responsible? Just because Amae hi was in power does not mean he knew of the chopper purchase. This money laundry syndicate had a method of operation for forgery of documents and insurbordination of orders. In a similar account Jonathan decries instances where the NSA released funds to agencies, depts and individuals outside of the President's awareness and approval. Could similar thing have happened here in Rivers with Wike as Chief of Staff under Amaechi and forged authorization documents to effect the procurement? 3. How many of such smuggles have actually passed through undetected in the period when they had their lookout at the helm of affairs at Customs? 4. If US had military sale embargo on Nigeria, where the hell did Wike get this American made chopper? 5. Bokoharam is reputed to use helicopters for air drops and air lifts. What type of helicopters is in their posession, are they Bell, with night vision and fire power? Dont come here to challenge with bare emotions...make sure your thoughts are logically and chronologically arranged. I will not use foul language on you....but I will demolish you with superior intellect. In fact,after posting this i just thought to add that what happened in this chopper scandal also occurred with Stella Oduah as Minister of Aviation, though on a smaller scale but nonetheless demoralising in the precision with which the Minister, in collussion with Ngozi Iweala, first failed to obtain code authorization and approval for a bullet proof vehicle provisioned with light armour and imported illegally into the country through abuse of duty waivers and VAT forged and filed with wrong intent on the authorization of Lagos State Government and then the hard currency laundered throughCoscharis Motors. When I say Ibos ruined GEJ administration Im serious! |

otunbakolawole: The reason Wike would not want to pay is simply because the aircrafts right from time were to be in custody of the airforce. Read the Premium Times link below. He knows that due to political differences with the FG and also his belligerent nature to the FG, they will deny him access to the helicopters. So what's the point in paying 300m?? When in actual sense, security operations falls under the purview of the FG and Rivers state govt cannot use the aircraft as they deem fit. But wait a minute, who in his right sense will even release military-grade helicopters to a personality like Wike? Civil war don start be that na. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/ssouth-east/129199-we-bought-two-helicopters-but-for-security-reasons-governor-amaechi-says.html |

Re: ARMOURED HELICOPTERS : GOVERNOR WIKE REVEALS THAT RSG HANDED THEM OVER TO NAF by OPCNAIRALAND: 2:35am On Jan 29, 2017 |
agabusta: The truth of the matter is the choppers were obtained in contravention of international laws regulating purchases of this type of hardware. Wike cannot claim it because even if he were to pay the fees the hardware will be confiscated and of no use to him in Rivers. The Air Force cannot claim it either because whoever smuggled them in did so in circumvention of rules and in fact a breach of national security. If this has already been brought to the attention of US Im sure they are scratching their head and tracking the registration to trace its last point of ownership. This is the kind of embarassment regulators wanted to avoid and therefore laid a process for transacting business of this nature. This outcome is outside of process and even if Air Force were to take ownership more than likely it would never be flown and would end up as scrap parts in maintenance hangar. |

#I STAND WITH THE CUSTOM SERVICE Fellow Nigerians, why will you doubt the Custom Service story about the two (2) armoured helicopters? Gov. Wike is a pathological liar, that is a fact. He killed fellow Riverians to get to power, but he has always denied it. He was recently busted for the role he played in the recently concluded re-run election in Rivers state where his Audio recording was revealed to the nation, he denied it. Yet we know he is the only one with that unique 'ojuju calabar' voice in the whole wide world. My people, let all Christians unite and shout hallelujah a thousand times and let all Muslims say "Alhamdulillah" a thousand times that these armoured helicopters were intercepted before they got to Wike's deadly hands. One can only imagine the havoc that will be wrecked by these flying machines all over Nigeria by Wike's Mercenary Pilots. It could have been a season of the press reporting "Mystery Killing Machines in the Air." The DSS should now conduct detailed investigations on the Mercenaries Wike intend using for these armoured helicopters.

lastpage: What is your point? Cos the grouse of RVSG is the statement of NCS that the choppers were illegally imported by unknown individuals for clearly sinister purposes. Had the NCS not feigned ignorance of the real situation, the media release by Wikes office wouldn't have sufficed. Now, RVSG has made the NCS look irresponsible. This is a story we've followed for over 2yrs now when then Gov. Amaechi was complaining of the refusal of Customs Min. Of Finance to clear Rivers state helicopters that were brought in for surveillance and protection of pipelines. So this is the continuation and eventual closure of the matter. Disabuse your mind and avoid unnecessary tangling of issues. |
