The only problem i see with this Dickson is that he feels that he is too smart, when the peace corps has not been fully signed into into law, why parading yourself as the controller generally.

This guy has been scamming people for years with promises of job after collecting money from them, but he claims in the media that the Peace Corp is a voluntary organisation.
He has to wait until Mr President assents to the bill passed by the NASS before asking applications to buy forms, pay for kits, pay for training, pay for feeding all to him across the country.
The guy and MMM na the same thing.
Ol boy MMM still dey pay ooo.

After reading the count charge for over an hour and with the end not in sight, the court arose for a 20-minute break, to continue with the reading of the remaining count charge.

Ralphlauren:
this case confuses me.

from the little i can gather, peace corps was registered with CAC by a PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL as a NON-GOVERNMENTAL ASSOCIATION/CHARITY

so how then was the Senate able to pass a law authorising the creation of a paramilitary outfit under the federal government with the name name?

can a privately registered/owned organisation be converted to a government owned organisation? undecided

my answer is NO !

this further confirms the fact that AKOH is a criminal and was just capitalising on the vulnerability and gullibility of innocent, unemployed Nigerians by extorting money from them and promising them non-existent jobs with a government established organisation which happens to bear the same name as his privately owned organisation 'Peace Corps'
iam telling you brother
Re: Police Arraign Dickson Akoh, Peace Corps Boss After 11 Days In Detention by owji: 4:05pm On Mar 29, 2017
No one will fall for the peace scam again. Eyes don clear.
the peace corp has 1.4 billion naira in UBA bank, the money that has been pretentiously collected from gullible
youths and employment seekers in nigeria. In exchange, peace corps promise all of them employment (after yeye
training), even when the peace corp don't have the power to do so.
eventually IF (which i doubt very much) the FG assented to the yeye bill, will all those gullible ppl that have paid
be employed by FG? Answer is NO!! most youths hope will be dashed.
PPl (in hundreds of thousand) keep bringing in money to peace corp in exchange for gainful employment while
Dickson Akoh and other trustees that registered peace corp at CAC as NGO keeps smiling to the bank .. ..They
laundered the money, transferring the money into their personal accounts.
So, this is a form of 419, obtaining under false pretense, just like they did years back in federal task force etc.

My worries is even if president assent to the bill and make peace Corps an established para military, will he Mr president not going to order for new general recruitment? So what will be the hope of those that have paid huge money to be an officer?

Good news to all supporters of peace corps and bad news to the anti-peace corps. Akoh has been discharge after the court ruled out all the allegations leveled against him. It should also be of note that the harmonized bill will be presented tomorrow at the Senate. so with this news, i hope for positive outcome from the Senate. one thing is sure, very soon "we shall overcome"
Re: Police Arraign Dickson Akoh, Peace Corps Boss After 11 Days In Detention by wasuka14(m): 4:19pm On Mar 29, 2017
Why? So Govt was not behind the recruitment this guys organized nation wide? Then, why he was not stop then, and allow him to chop and clean mouth before arrest. What can person call this now?'
DONSMITH123:
The Nigeria Police on Wednesday arraigned the National Commandant of Peace Corps of Nigeria, Amb. (Dr.) Dickson Akoh before an Abuja Federal High Court.

His arraignment is coming 11 days after Akoh was detained at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) unit of the FCT Command.

DAILY POST reports that, Akoh was detained on Sunday, 19th March 2017, when he turned himself in, having heard that the Police was looking for him.

All entreaties by well meaning Nigerians for Akoh to be released, proved abortive.

Meanwhile, the Police had earlier sued the National Commandant with a 90-count charge, bordering on extortion of money, wearing of uniform, hoisting of flags, money laundering and running an outlaw organisation, the suit which was first allocated to Justice Gabriel Kolawole.

It was, however, disclosed thereafter, that, the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, had transferred the case to Justice J.T. Tsoho’s court.

DAILY POST recalls that, Akoh was first arrested on February 28th, 2017, along 49 others, on the day the National Headquarters of the Corps was launched.

They were detained at the Force Headquarters for 3 days and later released after “some female Journalists protested that, the nursing mothers among the detainees be released to attend to their babies after 3 days.”

Irked by the seemingly violation of their fundamental human rights, former Attorney-General of the Federation, Chief Kanu Agabi (SAN), slammed the Police and DSS with a N2bn suit, challenging the arrest, harassment and detention of Akoh and others.

Consequently, Justice Gabriel Kolawole issued a 12-day ultimatum to the Nigeria Police, to advance reasons for such treatment.

The Police has, however, reacted to the ultimatum in a counter affidavit deposed to, on 22nd March 2017; denying harassing the Akoh and 49 others.

At the resumed hearing on Wednesday, the Prosecution Counsel, A.K. Aliyu asked that the 90-count charge be read to the defendant.

Though the Presiding Judge demanded that the count charge be compressed, to enable the court take all while the defendant also take his plea; but Aliyu objected to it.

After reading the count charge for over an hour and with the end not in sight, the court arose for a 20-minute break, to continue with the reading of the remaining count charge.
