Senate Orders NIMASA DG, Bashir Jamoh Arrest Over $5m Fraud


The $5m was paid for the intelligence-based tracking of a global movement of Nigerian hydrocarbon and recovery of loss by the Federal Government of Nigeria in the sum of $9.3bn between 2013 and 2014.

The Chairman of the Committee, Senator Matthew Urhogbide, at a briefing on Sunday, berated the agency over the failure of NIMASA to appear before the panel, saying that the panel had no other option than to issue a warrant of arrest on the DG of NIMASA.

He said, “We have invited NIMASA up to three times, but they have failed to honour our invitations. This committee has no other option than to issue a warrant of arrest against the Director General of the agency. They can come to the National Assembly for fund appropriation, but when it is time to give account they will be nowhere to be found.

Ordinarily, the firm should have deducted its fees from the amounts recovered for the FGN, and not receive fees in advance in lieu of the recoveries.

It added, “Audit is concerned that payments were made for service not rendered and this may be a deliberate attempt to divert government funds for personal use.

“The Director-General is required to justify the payment for service not rendered, failing which the sum of N741,904,761.28

Allen Onyema: Alleged Co-conspirator Of Air Peace CEO Pleads Guilty To $20m Bank Fraud


A copy of the plea agreement she and her lawyer signed with U.S. prosecutors shows she specifically pleaded guilty to Count 5, which is a conspiracy to commit credit application fraud.

“The Defendant (Ebony Mayfield) admits that she is pleading guilty because she is in fact guilty of the crime(s) charged in Count 5,” a copy of the plea agreement obtained by Premium Times read in part.

Likely sentence
She risks up to five years’ jail term based on the plea agreement.

Five years’ imprisonment is the maximum jail term provided for in Title 18, United States Code, Section 371, under which she was charged with the offence in Count 5.

There are, however, indications that she would get less than five years at her sentencing already scheduled for September 21.

Nairaland / General / Tinubu Pick APC Chieftain As Vice-presidential Candidate by Worldtopnewsng2: 10:22pm On Jun 17, 2022
The presidential flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, has officially submitted his completed nomination forms to the Independent National Electoral Commission.

The statement read, “We wish to reiterate that HE Asíwájú Tinubu now stands ready to contest the February 25, 2023 presidential election to deliver progressive good governance to our people,” he said.

Efforts made to reach the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, to confirm if a surrogate’s name has been filed for Tinubu’s running mate proved abortive.

Nairaland / General / Q1: Dangote Cement Ramps-up Production At Okpella Plant by Worldtopnewsng2: 3:38pm On May 04, 2022
Q1: Dangote Cement Ramps-up Production At Okpella Plant


Africa’s biggest cement manufacturer, Dangote Cement, has ramped up production at its newest plant, in Okpella Edo State even as its earnings per share rose by 16.8 percent to N6.18 in the three months ended March 31, 2022. Ramping up production at the Okpella plant is part of efforts to increase cement supply in Nigeria as well as ensure timely supply of products to customers in the South-South and Southeast geopolitical regions.

Analysis of the cement giant’s three months results indicated that Dangote Cement sold a total volume of 7.2Mt of cement across the group with Nigerian operations accounting for 4.8Mt while the rest of Africa did the balance of 2.4Mt.

Continuing our efforts to deliver shareholder value, Dangote Cement completed the second tranche of its buyback programme. Following the completion of both tranches, Dangote Cement has now bought back 0.98% of its shares outstanding. This share buy-back programme reflects the Company’s commitment to finding opportunities beyond dividend to return cash to shareholders.”

Puchercos added, “the volatile international context is strengthening our efforts to ramp up the usage of alternative fuels and execution of our export-to-import strategy. Reducing our dependence on imported inputs and making our markets self-sufficient has never been more relevant from a regional perspective.

Our continuous focus on efficiency, meeting strong market demand and maintaining our costs leadership drives our ability to consistently deliver superior profitability and value to all shareholders.”

Lagos Security Agency Boss, Ajasa, In Alleged Abuse Of Office, Financial Misappropriation


Alleged Financial Misappropriation of the Agency’s Funds
Ajasa, who is said to be nursing a political ambition ahead of 2023 general elections, is also accused of misappropriating the bulk of the funds meant for running cost of departments of the agency.

For instance, the state government is said to provide about N3 million monthly as running cost for departments in the agency, but these departments are said to have been receiving paltry sums from this total.

“That’s not all,” one of the staff members who spoke to Witness said, “When a staff member writes a submission or request for funds and passes it through his office as required by law to the state government, against civil service rule, he removes the name of the staff who wrote the request and put his name as the one making the requests. And when the funds arrive, he diverts to other uses which the fund were not originally meant for.

For instance, N19.6 million was said to have been approved and released by the state government for the drilling of boreholes in the offices of the agency in the 57 local government areas and local council development areas (LCDAs), but no or few boreholes were drilled.

“He is also alleged to have misappropriated funds meant for servicing operational, staff vehicles and other equipment in the agency,” said.

Scrapping of Functional Vehicles
On February 7, 2022, Mr Ajasa directed the disposal of 19 functional Toyota Hilux, two MG and one Ford Ranger worth millions of naira as scraps, documents seen by

The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) have applauded Dangote Petroleum Refinery for its application of world-class technology in the construction of the 650,000 barrels per day refinery project.

Correct Security Arrangement, Not Mercenary Solution To Security Challenges, Olokoba Tells el-Rufai



Against the forgoing, the Nigeria’s Governors’ Forum, as I had said somewhere else, should reach out to Mr President to examine the suggestion about another layer of the country’s security architecture and let him realise the one way police arrangement cannot effectively address the country’s security challenges.

Come to think of it, how can a Sokoto man posted to Ogun State would know the terrain and peculiarities of the culture, tradition and behavioural pattern of the Ogun State residents? If the security apparatus is localised, people within a community know themselves. So when a crime is committed, it would not be difficult for them to trace the perpetrators. If a strange face surfaces within that community, he would be marked out for monitoring. His host or landlord would be asked questions. It would not be a case of running from pillar to post to solve a criminal puzzle after the deed has been done.

A local policeman will understand the language and mannerism of his people and, through training be able to study body languages of every individual within his vicinity. But in a situation where the security officer does not understand the language and culture of a community where he is posted to operate, there will be hindrances here and there that will not allow him to operate effectively.

The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Public Accounts, Oluwole Oke has accused some firms operating in Nigeria of evading tax.

“There is a company that puts up a show and usurps the functions of NEPZA who are supposed to remit its operating surplus. But its licensees have undermined the agency. Millions of dollars that are supposed to go into NEPZA’s coffers are going into private pockets. That is why we are trying to find out if there is a need to review existing laws because the Parliament will not allow the country to continue to bleed.

Govt Bans Ecobank From Forex Sales Over Regulation Breach

It was gathered that Kenya’s apex bank took the decisive action after discovering that the lender had flouted forex regulations. The suspension will end on April 4th, 2022.

According to the East African, Kenyan banks are required to adhere to a rule which requires them to match their foreign currency assets with their liabilities. They do this by ensuring that the difference between their foreign currency assets and their liabilities “does not exceed 10 percent of core capital”.

The Central Bank of Kenya said in a press statement that Ecobank Kenya Limited breached this rule.

“In investigating Ecobank’s trading practices and a specific transaction that it had concluded, it is evident that Ecobank did not have sufficiently robust risk controls to prevent breaches on its foreign exchange exposure limits, or the inaccurate reporting of its position… Ecobank’s acknowledgement of its obligations as an authorised foreign exchange dealer and its commitment to address the underlying issues is noted,” the apex bank said.
