Crime / Dibia Obinna: Kenya Deports Nigerian Man Over Drug, Human Trafficking (Photo) by Priscy01(f): 10:35am On Aug 19, 2019
Kenyan authorities have deported a Nigerian, Dibia Obinna, for alleged links to drug and human trafficking.

Mr Dibia was deported on Sunday after Interior Cabinet Secretary, Fred Matiangi, signed the deportation order, Igbere TV reports.

Dibia, also known as Agumuo Nnamdi, was arrested after being on the run for a month when immigration and police announced they wanted him for questioning in connection with an incident in which 27 Nigerians were seized from an apartment in Kilimani area of Nairobi last month.

The 27 Nigerians were deported immediately. They were said to have entered Kenya as businessmen when officials were alerted.

Dibia is said to be linked to cases of drug trafficking and human trafficking in the region.

Officials said he posed as a consultant to Nigerian high commissioner and also the chairman of Igbo community in Kenya.

Igbere TV gathers that he was initially linked to another Nigerian, Anthony Chinedu, who was deported in 2013 over drug trafficking claims.

Police say they are looking for Dibia’s accomplices in the city.

A 15-year-old boy has allegedly staged his own kidnap and demanded for the sum of N500,000 as ransom.

The minor, who was paraded in Jos on Thursday, told newsmen that he initiated the plan with his friends in order to enable him buy clothes and celebrate his graduation, Igbere TV reports.

“I was the one who initiated the plan and not my friends. I wanted my father to give me money for clothes and to also celebrate my graduation,” he said.

Briefing newsmen on the arrest of the minor, the Commissioner of Police, Plateau command, Isaac Akinmoyede, said that five persons were arrested in a case of criminal conspiracy and kidnapping, including the victim, who stage-managed his own kidnap.

The police commissioner said that the suspect’s father reported that he received a phone call from a hidden number informing him that his son had been kidnapped and taken away from Jos.

“The father said that the caller demanded for a N500,000 ransom and threatened the boy’s life,” he said.

Akinmoyede said that the command had arrested 44 suspects in connection with alleged kidnapping, armed robbery, culpable homicide and other cult-related activities as part of its efforts to protect lives and property of the people of the state.

“We have arrested 11 notorious kidnap suspects and a syndicate responsible for the recent kidnap at Plateau State Polytechnic Staff quarters, Haipang, Zawan and other places in Jos South Local Government Area.

“We have also arrested two suspects in a case of threat to life and kidnapping at Bokkos Local Government Area and another for criminal activities, armed robbery and allegedly belonging to an unlawful society, with locally-made pistol and two live ammunitions recovered.

“Three suspects for culpable homicide and cult-related offences were also arrested for shooting one Chinedu Okoye dead at Chorbe junction in Jos North Local Government Area, while other armed robbery suspects were also apprehended,” he said.

It was gathered that the suspects were paraded, along with three AK 47 rifles, three magazines with 30 rounds of live ammunitions and two unregistered motorcycles, amongst others.

Politics / Suhaila Zakzaky: El-zakzaky Could Die Of Lead Poisoning - Daughter by Priscy01(f): 3:38pm On Aug 15, 2019
Suhaila Zakzaky, daughter of the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, has revealed her fears for his father’s life whom she says is suffering from lead poisoning.

Suhaila said in an interview that the poisoning may be from shrapnel when her father was shot in 2015.

“I am really worried… especially because of the lead and cadmium poisoning,” she said.

“His doctors say if he gets to a certain level his organs could start failing and that’s really scary because that means he could just die at any moment.”

El-Zakzaky, who arrived at Medanta Hospital, New Delhi, India on Tuesday, alleged “pathetic and worrisome” situation in an audio message made public on Wednesday.

He said the Federal Government had frustrated his treatment in India.

He complained about the tight security he was subjected to which he described as “worse than a prison setting”.

“Contrary to what was agreed before our arrival, that our own personal doctors would supervise this treatment. Now they’ve changed the arrangement. So, we objected receiving treatment from strange doctors without the supervision of our own trusted physicians,” El-Zakzaky had said.

The Federal Government, however, replied that the IMN leader was up to something, saying he was making unreasonable demands, including wanting to check into a 5-star hotel.

The IMN leader and his wife have been in detention since their arrest in December 2015 after violence that saw the army kill some 350 of his followers, Igbere TV reports.

Politics / Non-provision Of Foreign Exchange: “leave CBN Alone” — Moghalu Tells Buhari by Priscy01(f): 7:34am On Aug 14, 2019
Kingsley Moughalu, a former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has faulted President Buhari's directive on non-provision of foreign exchange for food importation.

Recall that President Buhari while hosting APC Governors at his hometown in Daura, said his directive to the CBN to starve food importation of foreign exchange stemmed from the steady improvement in agricultural production and attainment of full food security.

However the former Presidential candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) rubbished President Buhari's order and further pointed out that the CBN is an independent body which should be left alone to discharge its functions, Igbere TV reports.

Moughlau stated that the political interference in CBN's economic policies leads to poverty and also weakens institutions.

He tweeted;
“Is @cenbank now a ministry to be “directed” by President @MBuhari ? Article 1(3) of the CBN Act 2007 states ‘In order to facilitate the achievement of its mandate under this Act…the Bank shall be an independent body in the discharge of its functions.

“The issue here isn’t whether or not CBN should allow access to forex for food imports. It is about whether such an economic policy of a central bank should be imposed by a political authority. A major reason for our poverty, instability and weak economy is weak institutions.

“Our marketplace should be regulated and guided in a rational manner that creates a level playing field. Our economy will not be saved by Ad Hoc political decisions like this, handed down by the very institutions that should be shielded from the whim and caprice of politicians.

“Nigeria’s entire economy appears to have been sub-contracted to our central bank, including industrial and trade policy. In the process the economy has fared poorly and the Bank has lost its independence. This is sad!

“@NGRPresident should leave @cenbank alone to discharge its mandate independently within the ambit of the CBN Act, and stop “directing” it. @cenbank should on its part assertive its independence (assuming it actually believes it should be independent, but the Act says so, clearly!”

Politics / “I Don’t Feel Safe Anymore After Police, Army Clash In Taraba” – Joe by Priscy01(f): 11:24am On Aug 09, 2019
Former Director-General of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms, Joe Abah, has said that he does not feel safe anymore after three policemen were killed by soldiers in Taraba State.

Police said on Wednesday that policemen from the Intelligence Response Team who were taking a kidnap kingpin, Alhaji Hamisu, to the command headquarters in Jalingo were attacked by soldiers, Igbere TV reports.

They said three officers were shot dead while the suspect was set free, but the army countered the claim, saying the policemen were mistaken for kidnappers.

“I feel more vulnerable now than I ever did. If the lack of coordination between Police and Army could lead to the death of 3 policemen & the escape of an alleged kidnapper, and it continues into a Twitter fight even after the President has set up an inquiry, how can I feel safe?” Abah said in a tweet on Friday.

He added: “While the show of shame between the @PoliceNG and @HQNigerianArmy continues, let us not forget the grief of the families of the slain policemen. May the officers rest in peace and may God strengthen their families to bear the loss and to seek justice.”

Abah had on July 10 revealed his expectations in President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term in office.

He said he was hoping to see “major, disruptive and transformative interventions in electricity, jobs, security and education”, adding that incremental progress in the aforementioned areas would not be sufficient for him.

Majority leader Abdullahi Bello (Ajaokuta, APC) read the impeachment notice before the house on Wednesday, saying it was signed by 21 out of the 25 lawmakers.

Achuba had accused the governor of the state, Yahaya Bello, of being after his life.

He alleged that Bello had sent gunmen to kill him, adding that the governor had withheld the payment of his allowances amounting to N800 million.

The majority leader cited Section 188 of 1999 Constitution and prayed the house to commence investigation towards the impeachment move for the deputy governor.

The speaker, Kolawole Matthew, agreed to the prayers in the petition and asked that the petition be served on Achuba for him to respond to within 14 days.

Tolu Ogunlesi, social media aide to President Muhammadu Buhari, has attacked Amnesty International Nigeria over its support for the ‘RevolutionNow’ movement being convened by former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore.

Another social media aide to the president, Lauretta Onochie, had on Thursday urged Amnesty International to investigate its subsidiary in Nigeria.

Mrs Onochie claimed that Amnesty International Nigeria have the same agenda with separatist group, the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB).

In several tweets on Friday, Mr Ogunlesi also called on the human rights organisation to caution its Nigeria office.

“I’m convinced @AmnestyNigeria handle is in wrong hands. The unforced errors coming from it. ‘Nigeria belongs to all of us’ is not Amnesty Int’l language. Showing up here this way it comes across as political-language. Also, Nigeria belongs to Nigerians, not to AI. Are you with me?” he said.

The RevolutionNow’ movement declared August 5 for the commencement of the protest tagged ‘Days of Rage’ across the country to demand a better Nigeria.

Travel / Another Nigerian Pilgrim From Katsina Dies In Saudi Arabia by Priscy01(f): 1:24pm On Aug 01, 2019
Katsina State Pilgrims Welfare Board has announced the death of two female pilgrims from the state in Saudi Arabia.

An official of the board, Hassan Bindawa, made the announcement in Makkah on Thursday.

Bindawa said Rakiya Dandagoro died early Wednesday while Fatima Malumfashi died on July 23.

Head of Nigeria’s medical team, Ibrahim Kana, had earlier announced the death of Malumfashi but did not mention her name.

Bindawa said the pilgrims died due to brief illness that manifested in the Holy city of Madinah.

He added that both pilgrims died at the hospital while receiving medical care and had since been buried after funeral prayers at the masajidul haram in the Holy Ka’aba.

Bindawa said the delay in making the formal announcement of the demise of the pilgrims was due to protocol issues with the National Hajj Commission (NAHCON) who was the custodian of every Nigerian pilgrim.

He added that the families of the deceased had since been notified of their death.

“We expect God’s mercy on them as whoever died pursuing this cause will definitely meet the blessing of the Almighty Allah,” he said.

The official also cautioned the pilgrims against exposing themselves to the harsh climatic condition in the Holy land.

“I advise all pilgrims to always perform their rituals in the morning or evening hours of the day to avoid the negative impact of the scorching sun on their health,” he said.

He also warned the pilgrims against unnecessary spending, and advised them to “suspend shopping until after the Hajj schedule.”

About 3,116 pilgrims from Katsina State are expected to perform the 2019 Hajj.
