Former governor of Abia State Orji Uzor Kalu was arraigned today over a number of charges bordering on corruption at the Federal High Court by EFCC.

The ex-governor is alleged to have, amongst other offences, while he was the Governor of Abia State in 2003, procured Slok Nigeria Limited to retain its account domiciled with a commercial bank in the sum of 200 million Naira and that the sum formed part of the funds illegally derived from the treasury of Abia State government through another commercial bank.

However,his trial was stalled by Justice Anuli Chickere who said she could not go on with the case when an aspect of the matter was still pending at the Supreme Court. Justice Chikere adjourned the case to June 30.

One of the parties charged in the case, Slok Airlines, which also belongs to Mr Kalu, has an appeal pending at the apex court.

During proceedings, counsel to Slok Nigeria Limited, Mr Solomon Akuma, drew the attention of the court to the pending appeal by his client, Slok Nigeria Limited, before the Supreme Court which had not been heard.


Mr Kalu’s trial is coming more than eight years after he was first arraigned for misappropriation of state’s funds.

It should be recalled that Supreme Court on March 18 gave the EFCC a ‘go-ahead’ to prosecute the former Governor.

The charge predicated on alleged complicity of the former Governor in money laundering and illegal diversion of public funds of about 5.6 billion Naira.

Mr Kalu was alleged to have perpetuated the fraud between 1999 and 2007 while he was the Governor of Abia State.

Lagos State Government Thursday disclosed that it procured and distributed no fewer than 115 jeeps to traditional rulers and chiefs across the state.


The state government also said 84 Streets gates shut against motorists before the 12 midnight deadline it stipulated, were demolished.


Commissioner for Local Government and Community Affairs, Muslim Folami disclosed this at the ministerial press briefing in Alausa, Ikeja, in commemoration of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode's first year in office, with the Special Adviser to the Governor on Community and Communications, Mr. Kehinde Bamigbetan.

I am happy to inform you that 56 appointments, upgrading and recognition of traditional chiefs have been approved by this Administration within a year.


“The welfare and capacity building of Obas and Chiefs in the State were given the utmost attention that it deserves. Three training and workshops were organized for them to enhance their roles as alternative dispute resolution agent within the communities, promotion of gender balance activities as well as major motivators of growth and feedback collection from the citizenry,” he added.

This one is still looking good na, they even have good lockers/desks and chairs as well as a nice chalkboard. Just some repair work on roofing and they will be fine.
You need to see how bad the ones where I served in Enugu are. Students sit on the floor there, and everything has virtually crumbled.

A Niger Delta Militant Group, the “Nigeria Delta Avengers” has issued a statement threatening to “take it to” Lagos and Abuja after bombing Chevron platforms in Warri, Delta state.

In a statement signed by one Col. Madoch Agninibo, the group threatened to carry out other attacks on oil installations outside the Niger Delta in Abuja and Lagos.

“At about 10:40pm on Wednesday the Niger Delta Avengers blew up the Chevron valve platform. This platform is the most significant platform for chevron because it’s the main connecting point where all other platforms link up and it’s a fulcrum to chevron BOP and the Chevron Tank farm. With the valve platform blown all chevron activities are now halted.

“This is what we promised the Nigeria Government that since they refuse to listen to us we are going to zero the economy of the country.

“As for zeroing the Nigeria economy we the Niger delta avengers is done with delta state major oil installations. Now we are taking the fight out of the creeks of the Niger Delta. We are taking it to Abuja and Lagos now.

“We want to pass this message to the all international oil companies operating in the Niger Delta that the Nigeria Military cant protect your facilities. They should talk to the federal government to meet our demands else more mishaps will befall their installations.

The group want President Buhari to hold a Sovereign National Conference for Nigerians to choose whether they still want to stay together.
