Besides the fortune sunk into phoney arms deals, no less than N2.2billion was spent on prayers against Boko Haram, it was learnt yesterday. Former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration blew the cash on special prayers in Nigeria and Saudi Arabia to win the war. The cash was disbursed through the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), following a proposal by a former Executive Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Aminu Baba-Kusa. Baba-Kusa, in his statement of witness filed in the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), is facing trial with a former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.) and three others. The others are Acacia Holdings Limited and Reliance Referral Hospital Limited (owned by Baba-Kusa) and a former Director of Finance in ONSA, Shuaibu Salisu. In the statement, Baba-Kusa said the N2.2billion was spent on prayers to hasten the defeat of Boko Haram. The cash was released in two tranches of N1,450,000,000 and N750,000,000. Baba-Kusa told EFCC investigators that the contract proposal was verbal. But the suspect has promised to refund the N2.2billion by disposing of his assets. Baba-Kusa said: “I approached the former NSA and discussed Boko Haram problems and I suggested there is need for prayers and he considered and accepted in 2013 when he first came to office. “I personally sponsored many people locally and some few to Saudi Arabia. Some monies were later paid into our companies, which we paid to some of the mallams. “I then arranged to recover my personal expense which I put into our own businesses. “We have been spending a lot from our businesses and personal accounts. Money paid through UBA, First Bank and ECOBANK. For Acacia Holdings Limited(A/C 1017330319- UBA); ECOBANK(0122012650); and First Bank (Reliance Referral Hospitals Limited A/C 2022394057). The total amount is N2,200,000,000 from October 2014 to April 2015.” He told detectives that he is not an expert, “but I used some of the mallams to organise in Abuja, Zaria, Kano, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Kaduna and Saudi Arabia covering 2013 to 2015.” He added: “I give them funds as required from time to time, ranging from N500,000 to N30million, depending on their needs, traveling, sadaqat and others for local expenses and travels to Saudi Arabia for Umrah and Hajj. “I reminded the NSA many times before payments were made. We grew up together with the former NSA with common friends in ABU. “Most of the payments in cash were meant to give out cash to people that have been organising prayers. Some transfers to Acacia to other banks were for logistics and also to some mallams in cash.” The suspect also confirmed that the prayer contract was not documented. He added: “The proposal made to the former NSA was not documented by him or myself. The verbal proposal to him was for prayers to overcome Boko Haram within the shortest possible time. “The engagement for prayers by organising some people to be praying was not formally written down. “There was no amount of money agreed on. I said to him, I will start organising, which he agreed and said he will see what he would give at a later time. Baba-Kusa said he had an estimate of over N700million spent “from my own resources before I started to ask for money from him”. Some of these funds came from disposal of some of my land in Abuja. One in Maitama, one in Gudu and one in Guzape. The Maitama was a little over N200million; Guzape (N80m), Gudu(N18m), he told the EFCC. But, according to him, he kept no records of the money he gave to individual Mallams organising various groups. I requested for no acknowledgement from them when I gave money to them.” He assured the EFCC that he would refund the said cash if he is able to dispose of his landed properties. He said: “I am making efforts to dispose of my properties in Abuja which would be over the total amount of N2.2billion. If the sales go through and the amount from the sales is made in full, I will make full payment.” In the 19 charges against the five suspects, Baba-Kusa, Acacia Holdings Limited and Reliance Referral Hospital Limited are alleged to have “between October 2014 and April 2015 in Abuja agreed to do an illegal act to wit : dishonestly receiving property to wit: an aggregate sum of N2,200,000,000 being part of the funds in the accounts of the Office of National Security Adviser and that the same act was fine in pursuance of the agreement among you and you thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 97 of the Penal Code Act, Cap 532, Vol.4, LFN 2004.”

This is not good news. I was hoping and praying that the oil price should be going down, let's say till it gets to were oil will be sold at $1 per barrel or make the oil kuku become free for market. Oh God please let the crude in Nigeria dry up, all of it and ASAP. AMEN. We need to get serious in this country and that thing called oil/mineral resources has completely made the black man very lazy.

#istandwithbuhari

even at dat, we still need to consider d civil servants

Hw much was paid as ransome?

I av been to kwara n nothing is going on there, so Abdulfatai Ahmed is no one for me.

I am presently in Ondo now, though Mimiko started well but dis second term as been a disaster, no new project n d old ones are already abandoned, so Mimiko is no two.
I can't say for oda States but only d ones I av visited recently.

I was hoping to see RPGs, armoured tank, anti aircrafts but I still give kudos to d guys in uniform though, dey are awake so dat we can sleep, only God can be reward dem.

Dele Momodu, he party up n down with d likes of Ameachi n Sen Afikuyomi yet he writes every weekend as if he is nt one of dem, just to appear to b for d masses.

If he is found guilty, then EFCC should beam their search light on those dat went wit him to court d oda time, birds of same feather they say flocks together. Everyday for d thief one day for d owner.

May dis month n oda months b like February without a bomb blast

tsephanyah:
owk lets stop the blame game, and hope best for the country.

Yea we need to, cos dats wat can b of benefit to someone like me, can I 4lo u on twitter? One more follower wouldn't do u harm I guess.

This was d same thing dey said during election dat GEJ constructed about 25,000-30,000km of roads which means he constructed about 167 Lagos - ibadan expressway in dis obodo Nigeria. Doyin election is over even though we no see change.

Ok

tsephanyah:
let me, be straight to u, I don't like Apc neither do I like buhari, I'm more closer too him than u think, and u don't know who am I neither do I know who u are ,,, simple: I was known in Twitter who am I and daughter of who,, I'm just finding wz whiz to speak my mind unlike Twitter,,, and 4 ur info Apc will collapse soon. so chill

I am not a member of APC neither do I av any affinity to President Buhari n my parents are just like every average Nigerian parent going abt their trade genuinely n transparently but my concern is dat since my parent's has not stolen or corruptly enriched themselves wit government money, then my only hope is to work hard which is wat I av bin doing but d only threat to dat now is d failure of dis government, so dis is why I keep hoping n praying dat it succeed cos should it fail, am afraid even u may find it difficult to call urself a Nigerian.

What of dat road u people imported from Cameroun during d election?

tsephanyah:
can u tell us one promise Apc sayed during election and was begging talkless of completing, doh I'm not in the country I will go to Twitter and challenge u about that,,,, lies is Apc and there motives is propaganda and conspiracy.

APC said u mean? I hope u know dat, if d president should spend anything now on any project which he proposed in d budget which is yet to be passed, it is an impeachable offence. And am sure u know some people are waiting for him to make mistakes.

psucc:
When they are video clips and audio tapes where such promises were made?

It would be more honorable for Buhari to day that he could not keep the promise because of the shortfall in revenue than to deny ever saying it.

This President is disgracing his 95%.

Some of these promises were actually made by d party and it's even in their manifesto, but Buhari never made them himself, so d problem I think they are having is dat people expect him to fulfil his party promises while Buhari knows dat reality on ground won't make dat possible, so he has to differentiate between wat is possible n what is not.

Dats lack of respect to our nation..

****, our own Petroleum Minister is already in their country meeting with their king n others, so dey also sent their junior minister to meet our won junior minister.

All this are still assumptions n not fact

I agree with everything they said, although he might not be perfect but definitely he is a good leader and u only need to visit Osun n check those things they mentioned like d skuls n u will understand wat am saying.

A former Interior Minister and Executive Chairman, Genesis Shipping Worldwide, Capt Emmanuel Iheanacho, is to float a refinery in Lagos to boost local participation in crude oil lifting, it has been learnt. The parcel of land for the facility, it was gathered, was bought from the Onisiwo Family of Irede, a coastal town at the back of Apapa Port, Amuwo-Odofin Local Government in Lagos. When The Nation visited the site at the weekend, some leaders of the area said they were in support of the project and urged the government to support it. A senior official of the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), who craved anonymity, said Iheanacho, who is also the Executive Chairman of Integrated Oil and Gas, had been given permission to build the refinery. When the refinery begins operations, the official said, indigenous shipowners would be able to participate in the lifting of crude oil from it. “Foreign vessels involved in offshore operations, collect a minimum of $5,000 daily. This is the least amount collected by foreign vessels on the nation’s waters and that is why the indigenous ship owners must be empowered to participate,” he added. The country, he said, is losing N1.8 trillion yearly to foreign ship owners and their choice of insurers over the indigenous companies in the lifting and importation of fuel. The project, the DPR official said, would end foreign domination in the capital intensive crude oil lifting business and allow indigenous ship owners to participate in the highly lucrative enterprise. The Part II of Coastal and Inland Shipping (Cabotage) Act of 2003, stipulates that “a vessel other than a vessel wholly owned and manned by a Nigerian, built and registered in Nigeria shall not engage in the domestic coastal carriage of cargo and passengers within the coastal territorial inland waters, of any point within the waters of the exclusive economic zone of Nigeria.” The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) is responsible for the enforcement of the Act. “Despite the Cabotage Law, Nigeria is losing N1.8 trillion yearly to foreign ship owners in cargo haulage. Under the law, coastal trade is reserved for indigenous ship owners; their foreign counterparts are allowed to participate in the business subject to a waiver by the Federal Government,” he said. He continued: “The law is not serving its purpose because the indigenous ship owners are not allowed to handle cargoes that pass through the nation’s waterways. “When the Cabotage regime came on stream, the intention was mainly to stimulate the development of indigenous capacity in the Nigerian maritime industry, if many years after, the situation remains the same despite the despite the efforts by NIMASA. “In the oil and gas industry, Nigeria has close to 500 oil wells. For each well, there is a rig, which is supported by a minimum of five ships, and they are called oil support vessels. Each of the foreign ships earn $5,000, while others earn $150,000 per day.” He said:“The Cabotage Act seeks to reserve domestic coastal trade or Cabotage trade within Nigerian coastal and inland waters to vessels built and registered in the country, wholly owned and manned by Nigerian citizens. Foreign-owned vessels and companies are, however, allowed to participate in Cabotage trade within Nigerian waters, subject to obtaining a waiver and or license from the Federal Ministry of Transport. “More than 10 years after, not much has changed, as the indigenous vessel owners, who the law was designed to protect remained sidelined and impoverished while foreign shipping companies dominate the trade, while many Nigerians are jobless.’’ He added:“I can say conveniently that even in the crude oil carriage that they do today, if indigenous ship owners are allowed to do 60 per cent of their own allocation, they will be putting back more than about N1.5 trillion or N1.8 trillion into the economy and that is huge contribution to the budget.” The ex-Minister also told The Nation at the week-end that the indigenous ship owners are yet to benefit from the Cabotage shipping regime. He said the Act has failed to give the envisaged financial impetus and active participation in the nation’s maritime trade to indigenous ship owners. Apart from identifying the inclusion of waivers clause as one of the factors militating against the Cabotage Act, he said the low investment in the local refinery has made indigenous ship owners vulnerable in competing with the International Oil Companies (IOC). Although, he said, he was not against foreign companies in the country, the Master mariner said most of the foreign ship owners are hiding under the provision of waiver in the Cabotage law to enjoy the lifting of the crude and use foreign crew instead of employing Nigerians to man their vessels. By the time the refinery comes on stream, many indigenous shipping companies would be involved in the coastal trade and not less than 5,000 direct and indirect jobs would be created through the venture. Ihenacho said he has since received a licence to establish the refinery, adding that construction work would commence once he gets the government nod to do so. He said he was not happy that “Nigeria, as the giant of Africa, still exports crude overseas for refining and re-import same.” The former Minister said the planned refinery would be built in accordance with the dictates of the Department of Petroleum Resources and the Ministry of Environment. Officers of the Ministry of Environment, he said, had visited the site of the project for them to receive Environmental Impact Assessment Certificate. “We have said it for so many years those indigenous ship owners should be involved in crude oil lifting, but nobody seems to be listening because of involvement of the IOC. Now, we have resolved to build a modular refinery in Lagos so that we can add value and create jobs. This is what we have embarked upon. I have a licence to establish a refinery. By the time we commence operation, the ships we bought with several millions of naira can now be put to use effectively. “Before granting licence to establish a refinery, DPR must inspect the proposed site. This they have done. There is a licence for every stage; to establish, to construct and operate a refinery, all dependent on your ability to fulfill stipulated requirements. “Our focus now is to address the issue of Environmental Impact Assessment, feasibility study and all. We have been carrying the host community along and they are pleased to be a part of this project. The project will be financed by Nigerian and international financial institutions,” Iheanacho added. He said the country had for years, diverted its funds by allowing crude to be shipped by foreign vessels on a Free on Board Basis. He added that the value on the crude oil in terms of the refining process by way of jobs creation had also been lost to other countries. “The profit from all these ventures is left in foreign lands. It is time we invest in our country and develop it. If we are successful at this venture, refined petroleum will be much cheaper than what we are paying for currently,” he said.
