Am not too given to all of this.....Afonja allowed the toppling of his government by inviting a mercenary to invade his father's land because of an inordinate political ambition...Moreover there's no historical records to prove that Ilorin was part of the Yoruba kingdom before Afonja's rebellion...

Lesson.....Statutes to me should only be erected after, not during the life time of people...They should serve as a record of history not one of whim.

Thank you Mr President....Only under your administration can we say we have a country that is worth emulating by other African countries...We are proud of you.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has submitted a report to President Muhammadu Buhari linking Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and some of his aides to the diversion of about N19bn from the N522bn Paris Club refund.

The report also fingered Mr. Robert Mbonu of Melrose General Services Limited.

Mbonu is a former Managing Director of Societe Generale Bank of Nigeria, the commercial bank owned by the Saraki family which was later liquidated.

The Federal Government had, in December 2016, approved the sum of N522.74bn to be paid to the 36 states of the federation as part of the reimbursement of the over-deduction on the Paris Club loan from 1995 to 2002.

The EFCC had sometimes in January discovered that the loan refunds were illegally routed through the account of the Nigeria Governors Forum by the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Upon receiving the funds, the NGF, in an alleged connivance with Saraki, began remitting huge sums to private consultants who then laundered about N19bn.

According to the report, apart from the NGF, others under investigation include the Relationship Manager to the Senate President in Access Bank, Kathleen Erhimu.

Some others under probe and identified as Saraki’s aides include Obiora Amobi, Gbenga Makanjuola, Kolawole Shittu and Oladapo Idowu.

The report alleges that sometimes in December, Saraki introduced the ex-bank MD, Mbonu, to Erhimu.

Others at the meeting were Saraki’s aforementioned aides.

It added that sequel to the meeting, the sum of N3.5bn was lodged into Melrose General Services Company account number 0005892453, domiciled in Access Bank from the Nigeria Governors Forum on December 14.

The report stated that two of Saraki’s aides, Obiora Amobi and Gbenga Makanjuola, were introduced to Access Bank as representatives of Melrose General Services Limited by Mbonu to enable them to make cash withdrawals from the account.

It added that Amobi and Makanjuola made cash withdrawals in various tranches of N5m and N10m.

The report reads in part, “Based on the foregoing findings, it is clear that Robert Mbonu, the Managing Director of Melrose General Services Company and his company were used to help divert proceeds of unlawful activities under the guise of payment for contractual obligations with the Nigeria Governors Forum.

“Suffice to apprise that all payments received by Melrose General Services Company from the NGF have hitherto been diverted directly via cash withdrawals and indirectly through transfers by Gbenga Peter Makanjuola, Kolawole Shittu and Oladapo Joseph Idowu, who are principal aides to the Senate President.

“Furthermore, other payments from Melrose General Services Company have also been linked to companies that Dr. Bukola Saraki has interest in and carries out transactions with.

“This includes the sum of $183,000, which was transferred to Bhaska Devji Jewellers, Dubai, a company Dr. Bukola Saraki had repeatedly made payments to.

“Also, the sum of N200m was transferred to Wasp Networks Limited that subsequently transferred the sum of N170m to Xtract Energy Services Limited, a company that routinely made deposits into Dr. Saraki’s Access Bank US Dollar Domiciliary account.”

The report concludes that a prima facie case of conspiracy to retain the proceeds of unlawful activities and money laundering, contrary to sections 15(3) and 18(9) of the Money Laundering Prohibition Act 2004, could be established against the aforementioned suspects.

“Additionally, investigation into their personal accounts is ongoing,” it adds.

When contacted, the Special Adviser to the Senate President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Yusuph Olaniyonu, who spoke on behalf of Saraki, said he would not react except he sighted the report.

“Send the report to me and I will be able to read it and contact the necessary people. If I don’t see the report, I cannot react to it in abstract. Send me the report if you want our reaction,” he said.

The spokesman for the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed that investigations were ongoing into the Paris Club scam.

He, however, said he did not know the specifics of the investigations.

“I can only confirm that there are investigations but I don’t have details,” Uwujaren said.

So he should look gloom and unsmiling? But I once remembered one of same status with the incumbent dancing at a political rally in Kano after several lives were lost through bombings in Nyanya?

The same way you people got together and installed Jonathan on the country.

Dino Melaye should stop being defensive.He's not too popular among reasonable people.How can you say the wife of another man has reached her menopause when 65 year oldies still give birth?

DesChyko:
Are you a Niger Deltan or have you ever lived close to an oil community? I'm asking because of the stark ignorance in your submission. I'm even tempted to question your depth in the affairs of Nigeria. It appears you know little about this issue at hand or how it is to be tackled. Perhaps you should give it a rest.

What's the stark reality ojare? Put it on the table.

From one misstep to another, Biafra is gradually descending into a terrorist organisation.

tempest01:
If this escalates coupled with falling oil prices, the ripple will be felt everywhere...The FG is to blame if Tompolo can swindle it of billions for land. Wasn't it an agreement?

Why not leave things status quo and block leakages in respect of the niger delta issue?

Diplomacy is key in handling some issues and if the FG things showing brute force pays, it shouldn't create further disenchantment in this region and take us all back 5 years

Was it Buhari that issued the bench warrant for the arrest of Tompolo. It appears you are not conversant with the events that culminated into this.

Sincerely I have never seen anybody in this life who goes asking his debtors where they got the money used in payment from SO if you have ever done that in your life then you are a foolish and sick child.

Is that even obtainable practically? Is it not embarassing to even try and ask.

Guy you are a fool o.

You're an ass in this case, His admission is an implication that the ONSA issued him a cheque for political campaign of the then president instead of the political party.

Thank you

Lionsclaw:
Try and get some sense. If you owe me 1000 naira and someone payed 1000 naira to my account and says it is for d money u owe me. Am I to ask if he stool the money he used in paying me or ask where he got it from?

Even if u guys dont want to have sense, at least get common sense.

You're a fool.So the office he collected that money from is the same as that of a PDP campaign office? Use your sense.

Raymond Dokpesi....You don hear.The money was not approved for political campaign but arms going by memos which are official. You don de smell prison.

Yes oh dear. Anybody with the pictures should post it. I beg oh.

I beg where mobylete and Morris Myner?

TimeManager:
Someone should pls tell these women that el zakzaky has been charged to court already. Nigeria will slowly but surely return to sanity.

The truth has spoken!

Which women? These are the kind of women who prefer marrying terrorists or giving out the hands of their daughters in marriage to these evil men. In fact an injunction has been broken in Islam. Women are supposed to be seen showing humility not irascible conduct.

Tit for tat.Nobody is a tethered goat.End time started when the world began.

He even broke the law of aero dynamics when he was carried by the clouds into heaven. Just like The Prophet of the Veil who also ascended into heaven during his mirage using a horse. Hope it's not the same one sequestered from the owner by Jesus' Disciples. When will the African mind reject all these Jewish- Arabian~centric-fables and myths?

Kunlexic:
Does banning hijab solve the insecurity problem. It devoids islamist of their religion acts.

What gets one aljanaat? Dressing? Where is that indicated.Even when did hijab become exclusively a religious admonition of Islam. A tradition that had been in existence among other tribes before Islam 'incorporated' it into their religion.

If the MSSN cannot come out openly to codemn those who wear hijab to perpetrate the evil act of bombing the public, then the public will do well by avoiding such people, not excluding running away from them when they see them approach.

TonyeBarcanista:
Well, it is against the right of wearers of hijab to ban their veil. It is an established fact that the hijab is worn through the personal choice of the wearer even if it is religiously influenced. As such, it falls under the right to personal liberty. Hijab can't be banned except the government can prove that their is a correlation between Hijab and suicide bombing...this will be pretty difficult.

What do you mean by correlation? Why then did France and some other nations forbid the use in public places?

AlfaSeltzer:
Brethren, if you can't beat them, conquer them

It well known that we hate being dictated to. We need to be in charge. The only way to be in charge today is to join APC. They may mock us but as usual the cream will always rise to the top. In a few months, we will take over strategic and commanding posts in that party.

Support our brothers.

You got hold of PDP and everything got destroyed. Everything appropriated by them turns out really bad and cold.

mutvy:
Well, if you have been following world news on CNN, BBC AL Jazeera, Press TV etc, you should be able to predict North Korea, Syria, Oil prices, global warming etc. I maintain, since TB Joshua was not able to predict the collapse of his own guests house, I found it very hard to believe him again.

Look at what you said to discredit that man's prediction. Do you mean that Americans who were caught unawares by this event were not following news on those channels?

emmydeep:
APC WILL CERTAINLY SET NIGERIA ABLAZE WITH THEIR OVER AMBITION AND STUPIDITY.

Thamks for the observation. You must also make use of such observation to correct your tribe's defects and particularly your personal ones.I mean the medical one should be addressed first. And what's your definition of an illiterate?

OperationIgrigi:
**grins** The country lived for 3 years according world media, with their own currency and embassies, building it's amoury, refining it's own crude. That's a nation not 'a threat' according to world history, Whatever you think it is inconsequential my friend. **grins**

Were they recognised as a State by the UN. Having embassies where?France and Ivory Coast?

Why is this place under politics?

This should be under crime not politics.

Illiterate. Keep vomiting trash. Suffering and smiling mofo. Bye.

Illiterate? Never knew your condition have become so bad.Sorry oh.
