Consumers Kick As Eko, Ikeja Electric, Other Discos Hike Electricity Tariff Secretly

He said, “Electricity tariff is now N72.2 per unit. Another price hike from N66; I suspect they are going to N100. A higher price for poorer services.

Another customer of Ikeja Disco identified as Ola Busari said, “They are just milking us. This is a perfect robbery. Discos need to be checked.

Another Lagos resident named Olojede said, “They increased prices without informing us. There was no official communication to us as our estate representatives.” However, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, in its Multi-Year Tariff Order, provides a 15-year tariff path for the Nigeria Electricity Supply Industry with limited minor reviews each year.

It states that reviews are in the light of changes in a limited number of parameters such as inflation, interest rates, exchange rates and generation capacity, and major reviews every five years when all of the inputs were

“After returning to Lagos from my father’s burial on December 27, 2019, I needed to make an urgent transaction because of a vessel that had arrived the port three days earlier,” Agbokhaode said.

“The transaction was so urgent I had to process it online for the APMT terminal charge. I was debited immediately I made the payment.

“Then a picture came up noting that the transaction was “processing”. Normally, the transactions like that only take a few minutes before becoming successful. But, after two hours, the transaction was still not successful. After this, I went to APMT office and they told me that they had not seen the money.”

Nairaland / General / U.S. Court Releases Certified True Copies Of Bola Tinubu’s Drug Dealing, Money L by Worldtopnewsng2: 10:08pm On Nov 08, 2022
U.S. Court Releases Certified True Copies Of Bola Tinubu’s Drug Dealing, Money Laundering Case


Mr Tinubu has not commented on the narcotics affair, which has made headlines since at least the mid-aughts, preferring instead to discuss other parts of his background in corporate accounting, consultancy and pro-democracy activism. He, however, informed the electoral office INEC in his application to stand for the election that he had no prior criminal convictions.

Mr Tinubu’s allies have also made efforts to downplay the matter entirely as a trivial distraction to Nigeria’s democratic experience because it happened decades ago in a distant lang.

But Nigerians have insisted that the presidential candidate should come clean on his involvement in the case, which saw him forfeit up to $460,000 to the U.S. authorities in 1993.

The 56-page document released by the district court’s headquarters in Chicago did not include crucial new details, but it further confirmed snippets of the matter that had been shared spontaneously by the media for years. Journalist David Hundeyin also reignited interest in Mr Tinubu’s drug-dealing background following a July 13 article in West Africa Weekly.

The latest certified copies of the court case, obtained on August 10, showed Mr Tinubu and two others named K.O. Tinubu and Alhaji Mogati were involved in banking proceeds of illicit drugs and money laundering with Heritage Bank and Citibank. It was not immediately clear whether or not ‘Alhaji Mogati’ was a misspelling of Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji, Mr Tinubu’s foster mother, who passed on in 2013.

The U.S. government had in July 1993 sought forfeiture of proceeds of narcotics Mr Tinubu was accused of laundering. The matter was resolved in a compromise between the Tinubus and the U.S. authorities, with the Tinubus being asked to keep the money in the Heritage Bank account while the $460,000 in the Citibank account was forfeited.

A federal judge subsequently dismissed the matter with prejudice on September 21, 1993, which effectively foreclosed the matter from being litigated again by all parties. It, however, remained unclear whether or not Nigerian authorities could still bring charges against Mr Tinubu over the same case in Nigerian courts.

Kalu Kalu Agu, an Abuja-based lawyer with ties to opposition politics, has been among those seeking to hold Mr Tinubu to account over the matter. He petitioned the EFCC and NDLEA, Nigerian anti-graft and anti-narcotics departments, respectively, to probe Mr Tinubu’s involvement in the drug charges before the presidential elections in February.

In the November 8 petition, Mr Kalu Agu gave both offices seven days to launch action against Mr Tinubu or be compelled through a judicial order of mandamus, a process that involves ordering a public department to perform a public duty.

Count six read, “That you, Ukatu Mallinson, male, adult and Mallinson & Partners Limited, a corporate body registered in Nigeria, between July 25, 2017 and October 14, 2021 in Nigeria, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court using Mallinson & Partners Limited’s Access Bank account no. 0004974284 converted the sum of $347, 755 knowingly or reasonably ought to have known to be proceeds of an unlawful act and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 15(2)(b) and punishable under section 15(3) and (4) of the Money Laundering Prohibition Act, 2011 (as amended).”

The drug agency further accused the businessman of using Multi-Links Service Limited’s Access Bank account no. 0720857089 to convert N52.4m between January 1, 2017 and October 14, 2021.

Count 13 read, “That you, Ukatu Mallinson, male, adult and Mallinson & Partners Limited, a corporate body registered in Nigeria, between January 2, 2019 and October 14, 2021 in Nigeria, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court using Mallinson & Partners Limited’s Access Bank Plc account no. 0006750241 converted the sum of N10.875bn knowingly or reasonably ought to have known to be proceeds of an unlawful act and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 15(2)(b) and punishable under Section 15(3) and (4) of the Money Laundering Prohibition Act, 2011 (as amended).’’

At the resumed sitting on Tuesday, prosecuting counsel, S.K. Atteh, informed the court of the prosecution’s counter-affidavit to the application filed by the defence, urging the trial judge to recuse himself from the case over an alleged bias.

“Our counter-affidavit was filed on September 30, 2022 and same served on the defence,” he said.

Isiramen also noted that he was yet to see a copy of the counter-affidavit. In response, Atteh explained that the said counter-affidavit was served on the Lagos office of the defendant.

Zenon Petroleum Asks Court To Wind Up Ardova Plc Over ‘$6m Debt’


According to reports, Zenon Petroleum, in a suit at the Federal High Court, Lagos, with No. FHC/L/CP/1450/2022, said the debt was alleged to have arisen from the sale conducted in 2018 where Zenon Petroleum & Gas Limited and its affiliates sold 74.02 percent of the issued share capital of Forte Oil Plc (now Ardova Plc) to Sowami and Ignite Investment & Commodities Limited.

According to the court filing, the company alleged that the security for the deferred consideration for the sale of the shares, Prudent Energy and Services Limited and Sowami had provided a guarantee in favour of Zenon Petroleum & Gas Limited and its affiliates for the prompt payment of the deferred consideration as at when due.

It also alleged that $6 million being part of the deferred consideration became due on June 18, 2022, and the company refused to fulfil the obligation despite several demand letters.

It, therefore, urged the court to wind up Prudent Energy and Services Limited over its inability to pay debts.

UAE Tightens Visa For Nigerians; Now Demands Six-month Bank Statements, Other Requirements

The new requirements for Nigerians seeking travel access to the middle eastern city include confirmed hotel reservations, a six-month bank statement showing both cash inflows and outflows and a confirmed return ticket confirmation, according to information circulated by travel agencies in Dubai and Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.

The UAE embassy in Abuja did not return The Gazette’s calls and SMS requesting a comment on the development.

A general ban was imposed on Nigerians following the clashes, with many seeing the latest requirements as even better than outright bans from a country with strong economic ties to Nigeria.

The police, in a statement on July 21, said the suspects were of African origin and warned residents against engaging in violence.
