Oil Minister, her jeweller and their sweetheart deal
Written by Musikilu Mojeed
Monday, 27 June 2011

On April 7, 2010, a day after her appointment as minister for petroleum resources, Diezani Allison-Madueke flew to Beverley Hills in Los Angeles to revel in a lavish party and fashion show put together by Christopher Aire, a United States-based Nigerian celebrity jewellry designer and merchant, whom she met during her 15-month tenure as minister for solid minerals and steel development.

By the time the bejewelled Mrs Alison-Madueke returned home a few days later to assume duties as Nigeria's first female oil minister, she had achieved three clear objectives from the trip - she had unlimited fun, acquired some of Aire's exotic gold and gemstones, and handed Mr Aire an invitation to become one of Nigeria's biggest crude oil lifters. It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. At the time, the 47-year-old Mr Aire had nothing whatever to do with the oil business. His company, Solid 21 Incorporated, dealt strictly in jewellery and timepieces. Those close to him said Mr Aire was content with his jewellery business and had no plan to venture into Nigeria's murky oil waters. But all that changed after his meeting with Mrs Alison-Madueke that fateful April 7.

As the minister was flying home, Mr Aire also kick-started the process of registering brand new companies with which he planned to lift Nigerian crude. On July 9, 2010, the jeweller incorporated Siseno Oil Nigeria Limited, with him and one Patience Iluobe (believed to be his relative) as directors, to carry out the business of petroleum products sales and distribution.

Twelve days later (July 21, 2010), Mr Aire, through his agents, headed again to the Corporate Affairs Commission, where he incorporated another firm, Caligeria Oil Limited, also for the purpose of conducting petroleum products sales and distribution. This time, one of his US-based companies, Osiri Holdings, Ms Iluobe, and one Otaigbe Onyekwere Agba, were named as directors. Mr Aire also proceeded to incorporate a US version of Caligeria with himself, his bodyguard, Joseph Agbi, and Jivani Davoodian, a Californian lawyer, as directors.

Favourite crude oil lifter

Mr Aire passed the papers of his newly minted companies, which have neither fixed addresses nor personnel, to the Crude Oil Marketing Division of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. Shortly afterwards - a month after the companies were born - Mrs Alison-Madueke discretionally approved the award of crude oil lifting contracts to the two firms, in violation of NNPC guidelines for lifting of Nigerian crude. She also disregarded the fact that the "briefcase company" had no track record and lacked the ability to perform. According to a stringent guideline released by the NNPC in early 2010, companies which wish to lift Nigerian crude must prove that they are bona fide end users and that they are established and globally recognised large volume traders with evidence of their global network, their activities, and volumes of crude oil handled in the last three years.

Such companies must also provide evidence that they are registered Nigerian companies with operations in Nigeria's oil and gas industry, and must have a minimum annual turnover of at least $100 million and net worth of not less than $40 million. Applicants are also required to show commitment to the development of the Nigerian economy by investing in any number of opportunities that abound either in the oil industry or gas sector. Besides, successful companies are expected to post a $1 million performance bond through a first class Nigerian bank in addition to the regular crude oil contract provisions.

In the same guideline, the corporation promises transparency, fairness and equity in the contract award processes. "The NNPC further wishes to emphasise that there is absolutely nothing like ‘Presidential', ‘Task Force', ‘Ministerial', ‘Diplomatic' or any other form of special or privileged allocation, which can be peddled by hawkers or anyone," the guideline states. Mrs Alison-Maduekwe approved this guideline, which was posted on the NNPC's website on June 24, 2010, over a month after she became minister. But by allocating crude oil to Mr Aire's companies without regard for these rules, the then minister, insiders say, demonstrated a penchant for violating laws, including regulations she helped put in place.

Those who should know at the NNPC say Siseno and Caligeria did not meet any of these requirements. In fact, NEXT was able to determine that the companies do not have fixed addresses or personnel in Nigeria. Caligeria has Plot G19, House 34, Dan Alhaji Road, Barnawa, Kaduna, as its registered address. Siseno, on the other hand, listed Dollar Shop at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja as its operational address. But visits to those addresses showed that these companies never operated out of those locations. Plot G19, House 34, in Kaduna is an unpainted residential bungalow, and residents and neighbours said no company known as Caligeria has ever operated in the building. "Just because their owner knows the minister and hosted her well at his glamorous event in California, the companies are today two of the biggest lifters of Nigeria's crude oil," said a source at the petroleum ministry.

We have learnt that, between them, Mr Aire's two companies lift 60,000 barrels of crude per day, the highest for any established industry player and twice as much as well-known companies such as Addax, Vermont, Oando, Unicorp and others who are allocated 30,000 barrels per day. The government, through the NNPC, subcontracts crude marketing by allocating crude lifting contracts of 30,000 barrel per day; but some traders like Glencore, Travigura, Vitol and Sahara get as much as 60,000 barrels per day.

Nobody got more than the minister's jeweller friend As usual, Mrs Alison-Madueke declined to state her own side of the story to our reporters. She called off an interview appointment scheduled with our editors for June 13. She also did not return calls and text messages seeking her comments for this story. Mr Aire did not respond to our enquiries either. When our reporter called his California office, a spokesperson who identified herself as Adriana, requested that questions should be e-mailed directly to her. She did not respond to the email as at the time this newspaper went to print. But the spokesperson of the NNPC, Levi Ajuonoma, rose in stout defence of his organisation, saying the organisation did nothing wrong.

"The process for crude oil lifting license is so cumbersome. If you don't meet the requirements, you cannot be approved to lift crude," Mr Ajuonoma said. He confirmed that Caligeria, which he claimed had been around for a long time, got a one-year lifting contract that had since expired. He denied that Siseno was awarded contract to lift crude, saying "there is no such company on my list." But information at our disposal shows otherwise. Caligeria's registration documents, obtained officially from the Corporate Affairs Commission, indicate that the company was incorporated less than a year ago and has a subsisting contract with the NNPC. High level sources also confirmed to us that Siseno, also less than a year old, is on the list of our country's crude oil traders. With the arbitrary allocations to his no-address companies, Mr Aire and his associates earn about $11 million a year in profit for doing virtually nothing. Crude lifters make about 50 cents a barrel per day, which cumulatively comes to about $30,000 per day in profit for the jeweller-turned-oil magnate.

Typically, what these ‘briefcase companies' do is team up with influential officials such as Mrs Alison-Madueke, lobby for contracts independently, and then sell their allocations to more established traders. Mr Aire's companies also benefitted from Mrs Alison-Madueke's discretional award of contracts for the lifting of products from the Oso condensate (an extra light Nigerian hydrocarbon) and the Escravos liquefied petroleum gas terminal. Our sources said Caligeria lifts 45,000 metric tonnes of condensate, while Siseno gets 30,000 metric tonnes of LPG from Escravos. Industry insiders said profit from this also runs into several millions of dollars.

Some industry operators described the obvious in calling Mr Aire's a "sweetheart deal". "We just can't understand why briefcase companies without any track record became Diezani's most favourite companies to lift crude oil," said one highly placed source in the petroleum ministry, who did not want to be named for fear of reprisal. "This is the highest level of arbitrariness and corruption I have ever seen, and this woman must be made to answer questions," the source said.

Allison-Madueke's bazaar

Arbitrary awards of crude lifting contracts to obscure companies is indicative of the corruption in the oil industry, which allegedly skyrocketed during the tenure of Mrs Allison-Madueke to a degree last seen during the Sani Abacha administration. Insiders said that during her tenure, awards of contracts were characterised by bribery of top politicians, cronyism in allocation and indirect ownership in some of the lifters, and payment of huge bribes to high level facilitators within the petroleum ministry and the NNPC. But this has not stopped Mrs Allison-Madueke, who has alienated the entire industry as well as her cabinet colleagues and senior aides to the president, from lobbying furiously for reappointment. Sources say Mrs Allison-Madueke, who is close to the president, is also opposed by Patience Jonathan, the president's wife.

Despite what appears to be overwhelming opposition, however, insidersstill rate Mrs Allison-Madueke's chances high, as the president finalises his list of cabinet ministers for transmission to the Senate this week. Our investigation revealed that apart from Caligeria and Siseno, the former minister also trampled on due process in awarding crude lifting contracts to other companies such as Sullom Voe, Spog, Tempo and Tacomo. Insiders also accuse her of discretionary awards of Escravos liquefied petroleum gas contracts to Addax Energy, Avidor Oil and Gas Limited (believed to have connection to Vitol), Taleveras Business, Accoldis Limited (with connection to Spog), Elan Oil (believed to be another version of Traffigura) Tempo Energy Limited, and Blissfield Enterprises. Yet, the bazaar did not end there.

Mrs Alison-Madueke, our sources further revealed, proceeded to discretionally approve the awards of Oso condensate contracts to Algasco (also linked to Vitol), Optima Energy Services, Theydon Petro SA, Ocean Bed (with connection to Sahara Energy), Mangrove Energy, Havistar Petroleum (linked to Taleveras), Hyson, Ascon limited, Nipco Plc, Vitacan Services Limited, AMG Petro Energy, Energy Resources Management, Ultimate Gas Limited, Tempo Energy, Caligeria Oil Limited, Mez Technical Limited, Messrs Affiliate Global Exchange Limited, and Mezcor SA. Most of these companies have little or no investment in Nigeria, as required by the NNPC guideline for crude oil lifting.

A stench of corruption

The former powerful minister worked through a group of very small, even shadowy, companies that always seem to get the best contracts from the NNPC in the upstream and downstream sectors and on occasion in the services industry. The tangled web of questionable deals includes last-minute assignment of production rights in five large oil blocks to Septa Energy and the obscure Atlantic Drilling Concept Limited without a public tender. The practices also include the secretive award of kerosene allocations, crude oil allocations, fuel oil allocations, LPG and condensate exports, automotive gas oil and naphtha. Oil traders, according to insiders, regularly pay substantial kickbacks into the offshore accounts of top oil sector executives. Insiders say the Isle of Man has been a favourite jurisdiction for such offshore accounts. The funds are paid directly into the accounts from outside Nigeria and thus the funds never enter Nigeria and cannot be tracked internally. The funds are often then laundered through real estate purchases. A source familiar with the arrangement said London remains the dominant location where funds are laundered in this fashion. It is said that since Farida Waziri became the chairperson of the EFCC, the Metropolitan Police had enjoyed zero local co-operation in pursuing such matters. In fact, the source added, when the Met briefs the EFCC on such cases with a view to getting its assistance, elements in the commission promptly informs the target - for a fee of course. Under Mrs Allison-Madueke, all sorts of gaps have been exploited. As at April this year, 600,000 metric tonnes of diesel had been imported, with importers shaken down at a rate of N10 per litre.

We have no evidence that these bribes directly involved the former minister. NEXT had also uncovered an elaborate bribery scam at the Petroleum Product Pricing and Regulatory Agency (PPPRA), where oil marketers were compelled to pay bribes in US dollars in exchange for obtaining authorisation to import gasoline. Our investigation at the time showed that oil marketers were instructed by PPPRA to call a mobile telephone number and pay a bribe of $8 per metric tonne of petroleum allocated to them, such that a firm with a 100,000 metric tonnes allocation would be required to pay a bribe of $800,000 in cash. We were also able to establish in subsequent investigations that Mrs Alison-Maduekwe appeared to have violated Nigeria's procurement law by quietly signing away operatorship rights in five lucrative oil blocks to two barely established companies.

this is criminal and i think WE CAN HAVE VISUAL CONFIRMATION OF THE OFFICERS WHO DID IT SO THEY CAN BE BROUGHT TO BOOK

CHECK http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2012/01/04/in-photos-lagosians-protest-federal-governments-removal-of-fuel-subsidy/

THIS WAS JUST BEFORE THE GUY WAS SHOT DEAD AND WAS JUST ACCOSTED BY THE MOPOL

WHY WOULD THEY KILL HIM WITH ALL THEIR GUNS AND TRAINING IF THEY WERE NOT BRAIN DEAD AND IN LAGOS, AN ACN STATE, THEY MUST BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE AND SHOT DEAD TOO!

the ineptitude of this current set of leaders is tending towards criminally insane levels, how when so much executive wastage exists; how can you, with a clean conscience, go with cap in hand to nations like india and china, this is the worst kind of neo-colonialism.

see http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/12/fg-seeks-loans-from-india-china-france-to-fund-2012-budget/ for full gist

LAGOS - The Federal Government is to fund a quarter of its 2012 budget proposal with external and domestic loans with the third world country, India, for the first time giving a helping hand to the Nigerian treasury.

A total of $1.712 billion estimated at N265.36 billion is coming from countries such as India, China and France while the government is also expecting to dig N794 billion from the domestic market, bringing total borrowings for funding of fiscal 2012 at N1.059 trillion. The Federal Government spending proposal for 2012 laid before the National Assembly by President Goodluck Jonathan is N4.7 trillion.

Besides the N1.059 loan needed to fund government spending next year, the government is also expecting to borrow another N600 billion from the capital market to refinance matured loans.

$1.032 billion is to be sourced from India, Japan, China under new borrowings to fund the N4.74 trillion Federal Government budget, according to the budget details submitted to the National Assembly.

The new borrowings by government is besides $679.53 million in existing loan agreements that would be drawn down in the forthcoming budget year, according to accompanying details on the budget forwarded to the National Assembly.

The government is also expecting to actively borrow from the capital market in fiscal 2012 with a proposal to raise N1.394 trillion from the capital market. N794 .440 billion to be realised from the capital market is to be used in financing the 2012 budget while the balance of N600.4 billion is to be used in refinancing of matured Federal Government bonds.

The accompanying documents forwarded to the National Assembly with the budget proposal showed that the new borrowings in the coming year would come from France, Japan and India while China which already has a running loan agreement with the Federal Government would sustain its commitment to the Nigerian treasury in fiscal 2012.

Under the new borrowings, the French Development Agency is providing $159.69 million, the Japanese Overseas Development Agency is providing $150 million, $300 million is coming from the Chinese Global Facility, another $9 million is coming from a credit line from India.

Other sources of new borrowings are the International Development Association, IDA, an arm of the World Bank which is providing $343.5 million while the African Development Fund, a development channel of the African Development Bank is providing $70.5 million.

Ongoing funding commitments to be sustained to finance the budget would come from the IDA which is providing $319.53 million, ADF ($70.61 million), IDB supposedly the Islamic Development Bank ($16.34 million), the International Fund for Agricultural Development, IFAD ($26.52 million) and the Eximbank of China which is providing $246.53 in ongoing funding for the treasury.

yeah, what of shrines?

after all, in their totalitarian approach to revenue generation, they seem to be blind to every thing else save the fact that ideals and absolutes reached upon by right thinking minds and fine-tuned over generations here in Europe can't just be transposed straight from here to Nigeria without destroying the same people that are supposed to be served!

nobody answers the question of TRUST and TRANSPARENCY? Or do you think the incessant demands for adjustment and re-adjustments required of the poor and struggling should not be meaningfully addressed to the wealthy, affluent and wasteful? Before you style a man as a Cicero or a Ceasar personified, how all-embracing are his policies?

just how constructive is it that the poor get the rugs pulled off from under their feet without any soft-landing zones but the recouped funds are then wastefully and wantonly expended on over-invoiced deals and inflated contracts?

sacred cows are kept, indited, tried in celebrated cases and nothing comes of it? in this country, you get indited on a 7-count charge of whatever, the prosecuting side will prove beyond doubt the reason why you should be behind bars or should pay the required penalties!

In Nigeria's comedies of errors', fellas come out on 16, 22, 40, 53-count charges and still walk free! if you can try that and walk at the public law courts here in Europe, its either everybody were stupid in the first place to have accused you or you should just recommend your Voodoo priest, witch or Hex Master to us so we can contact him for help on committing crime without doing time?!

So, who are we fooling? In any economic system wherein there is a turn to internal revenue generation drives, you must expect complaints because the masses will always feel the pinch of it first but then you provide other incentives that they readily relate to.

I believe Nigerians have been afflicted with one of the chronically unaccountable and criminally irresponsible leaders in the world and yet they strive, they cooperate, they innovate, they share, they bear, Look here, mate, I SALUTE THE NIGERIAN SPIRIT AND EVERYONE WHO CAN BEAR TO SEE FOLKS CRUISING BY IN GRAND PRIX's obviously bought with public funds ill-gotten! I salute everyone who can bear to sleep in the dark without power for their heaters, freezers, TV's and PS game-boxes while knowing that beneficiaries of bloated contracts are sleeping soundly on water-beds in the adjoining estate nearby! It just the kinda thing that'd make me wanna go get a bbgun and start blasting but folks bear up patiently under such 2nd-rate mediocre handling, abeg, let's be more mindful of the folks eating from dustbins even when we can't bear to spoon in micro-waved grub! Let the government think of more ways to make the system work without necessarily taking, taking and taking from the people all the time!

for the tongue-waggers; wanna see dirt-digging, read the story yourself and when a guy's simply highlights the ordeals he had to pass through to get where he is, you don't talk him down!

Nigerian Journalist Honored For Exposing Philip Emegwali

A Nigerian investigative journalist, Musikilu Mojeed, was lavishly celebrated in Lagos on Friday over a series of articles he published in NEXT exposing the fraudulent claims and self-promotion antics of American-based Nigerian ‘scientist’, Philip Emeagwali.

At the 2011 award ceremony of the Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism, Mojeed’s work on Mr. Emeagwali won first prize for the best investigative story in the online category.

Muyiwa Adekeye, a former editor of The News, and member of the judging panel, who read Mojeed’s citation, praised him for alerting Nigeria that one of its most ‘celebrated’ icons was a complete scam.

Mr. Adekeye applauded Mojeed’s courage, persistence and dexterity in pursuit of truth despite several obstacles and attacks.

Mr. Emeagwali, who had lied his way to fame, promoting himself as one of the inventors of the Internet and one of the world’s greatest scientists, was generously celebrated in Nigeria, Africa, and even America as he propagated false and misleading claims about himself.

His lies gained so much currency in Nigeria that he soon became a celebrity, a national icon whose image was put on one of the country’s postage stamps, and was celebrated alongside the likes of great writers such as Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe.

But that was until Mojeed, and to a large extent, SaharaReporters, dug into his activities and exposed his pack of lies and deceit.

In his four-part series published in NEXT between November 7 and December 5, Mojeed investigated almost every claim of Mr. Emeagwali, talking to the judges who recommended him for the Gordon Bell prize in 1987, leading computer scientists, professional bodies, the universities he attended, and the organisations to which he claimed affiliation.

The investigation established clearly that the scientist has widely misrepresented himself to the world.

Speaking after winning the prize, Mr. Mojeed said he was proud to have contributed to the process of helping Nigeria, and indeed the world, that “a man we celebrate lavishly is a big fraud, who succeeded in scamming himself to fame.”

He said, “The result is that Nigerians, and indeed the world, are now wiser about the real Philip Emeagwali. Nigerian embassies abroad that had always celebrated him by paying him huge speaking fees to give talks at independence anniversaries have since stopped the practice. The lying scientist is no longer seen as one of our national icons. This series helped to correct a wrong aspect of our national history.”

At the ceremony, Idris Akinbajo, also of NEXT, was named the Investigative Reporter of the year. A six-part series on the corruption in Nigeria’s oil industry in which Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke was repeatedly named, won the first prize in the print category. The series was done by the quartet of NEXT’s Elor Nkereuwem, Peter Nkanga, Akinbajo and Mojeed.

The second prize in the online category also went to Akinbajo for his work on the plundering of the nomadic commission by officials. Another NEXT reporter, Nicholas Ibekwe, won the second prize in the print category for his series on the collusion of top Nigerian officers with Pfizer in the controversial drug trial that killed scores of children.

The remaining prizes of the night went to TELL’s Adejuwon Soyinka, who took the second prize in the climate change reporting category and National Mirror’s Yinka Adeparusi who won the prize for photography.

The print edition of NEXT newspaper was taken off the streets last September by its publisher, Pulitzer Prize winner Dele Olojede, citing Nigeria’s unfavorable business environment.

Early last month, the 2011 Forum for African Investigative Reporters (FAIR) awards in South Africa also named NEXT’s Peter Nkanga and Idris Akinbajo the African Investigative Reporters of the Year. They were cited for their collaboration on the June 2011story, “Last Minutes Oil Deal that Cost Nigeria Dear.”

pastors get a lot of gifts from people, mind you and that doesn't mean they should turn it down, even if they have to hand it out to others.

there's no need to throw the baby out with the bath water or to start make a lot of hazy guesses based on conjectures that don't really have a firm basis. with the few fingers that we have and the whole lot of exposure we've had to Euro-American media, it won't surprise me if some of us go around unconsciously using the same hand signs unknowingly. before i got into a lot of studies on ancient world religions, catholicism, the illuminati, caballa magic, astrology etc, i didnt know a lot of these stuffs and even right now, my conclusion is that, "the letter killeth, but the Spirit gives life", let the light of God shine on your heart cos knowledge without Divine leading and interpretation still leads back to perdition. Our parents' first mis-intentioned but silly and mischevious dallyings at the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil brought all these about in the first place and we still have the potentials to still create more trouble for ourselves on a personal and corporate level if we're not careful, thx

thank You Lord for a bright new day; my life, health, family and all are from You. Thank you for being faithful in all situations. I am not ashamed to call you Father, Friend, Love and Lord

someone started a thread just to update us folks who couldnt make it out there and out came all the unpracticed theeological arguementators and social commentary experts, pls, stop derailing us, abeg!

@WAKS1; God bless ur heart for the initiative

@Dollz, dollz, oh, dollz, u're really an angel jare, abeg, wey the rest of the prayer points for the other dayz, u stopped on Tuesday. Even with the broadband, some of us simply can't get 'nuff time to log on and watch, the times i get free in the day's from 3am mid-morning etc, pls, don't mind 'em, continue else mail me: rewired_ice@yahoo.com; may this be the beginning of new things for you too

if you had all the time to do all this research in the scriptures etc etc; you ought to be able to know the Bible came before the Quran even chronologically in authorship and Mohammed had a coptic christian consort, Mary, right?

does it not stand to reason that its probably your quran that is a pale imitation of the Holy Bible? Afterall, a child born yesterday can't possibly be older than his elder brother who was born years ago?!

let's stop stirring up stuff

its best to stop mouthing half-baked excuses for the HOD and co; put yourself in the guy's shoes, put yourself in Nigeria's shoes. Look at the immense figures, in every sector and area of Nigerian life, of wasted destinies, opportunities and dreams.

I DON'T BELIEVE IN SOME COCKSUCKA HANGING ON TO ME just to prove a point or for the best of some abstract best interest when i could be maximizing my potentials and really be developing stuff that'd provide a higher quality of life for my people. its surprising how pple just come out here, facelessly, under the cover of keyboards and phones sounding all hypocritical and hyper-critical, I DON'T BLAME THE GUY O, if the guy didn't follow his instincts and dreams, would we have the expert he has become today, with the BSh!t muguns like yarning here!

I've been in both worlds before and believe me, the public sector sucks for its bureaucracy, paid employment still has its limitations and not all folks are cut out to be entrepreneurs but the fact remains that some baboons think its their sole right and duty to nail a lid on your potentials and to keep it there till all you can do is tell stories of what you could have been and done to coming generations.

how many here have such achievements? laud the guy's tenacity, creativity and try learn something instead of just going besides the point, na true say that place dey stifle true creativity and ingenuity? where is the boy who came up with the aeronautic engine and propulsion system designs at age 20? where's the other one who designed the helicopter? do you wanna have an idea what my group came up with for JETS entries way back in college and what became of it in your beloved country's system and why i also opted for the brain drain option? bros' welcome aboard jare, leave the no-life nland keyboard-pros, who sabi una sef?

maybe they're using that to "REBRAND" Nigeria

especially issues concerning the end of days

here now? where else except if i'll be able to still see isale-eko as per as usual

Spates of Demolition Exercises left Abuja Land-scam victims at loss as their settlements and houses were demolished by the FCDA. Reports say the indigenous Gwari/Gbagyi/Gwagwa settlers sold the land to them on fictitious claims and with spurious papers. The buyers ought to have gone direct to source yet the issue of indigenous tribes selling lands that have already being allocated to other parties to unsuspecting non-indigenes should be addressed instead of FCDA rushing in always to bulldoze non-indigenes' houses alone in the midst of while leaving scores of indigents untouched in these selective purging exercises! A tribunal should be set up to look into these matters. Armed Mopols and Police Squad teams were on scene grabbing phones, cameras and bashing folks trying to capture the experience even those who were trying to make simple phone calls got slaps and kicks for their efforts. Why the Free media Blackout? Hmm, this smells really fishy! The Area, by the way, happens to be Durumi Phase 1 & 2 districts at Apo, Garki. Lives have already been lost due to the carelessness and callousness of the Demolition handlers including a baby left in a house previously unmarked for demolition but randomly chosen on the spur of the moment! The government should come to the aid of these people else we might start having reprisal attacks; what with Boko Haram, these ones should not start another thing in FCT again.
