Osagie Otabor, Benin
The Court of Appeal sitting in Bénin City on Monday upheld the victory of Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege representing Delta Central senatorial district and Senator James Manager representing Delta South senatorial district.

Omo-Agege who contested under the All Progressives Congress floored Hon. Evelyn Oboro of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) while Manager of the PDP, floored Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan of the APC.

It would be recalled that the lower Tribunal in Asaba ordered INEC to immediately withdraw the Certificate of Return issued to Sen. James Manager and conduct a rerun election over voting.

Justice Jaro Adamu who read the judgment by the three-man panel set aside the judgment of the tribunal ordering for re-run election.


Justice Adamu said the claims by Uduaghan were mere allegations and not adequately substantiated.

The appeal filed by Oboro against Senator Omo-Agege was thrown out for lack of merit.

In other matters, the appellate court upheld the election of Hon. Thomas Ereyitomi (PDP), representing Warri Federal Constituency in the appeal filed by Hon Daniel Reyenieju of the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the temporary forfeiture of 23 properties allegedly linked with the ex-Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina.

Justice Folashade Giwa-Ogunbanjo gave the order on Tuesday in a ruling on an ex-parte motion for interim forfeiture filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The affected properties were listed in a schedule attached to the motion, which EFCC’s lawyer, Mohammed Abubakar argued on Tuesday.

Justice Giwa-Ogunbanjo ordered the EFCC to publish the order in The Nation newspapers to enable interested parties show cause why the properties should not be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government.

The fresh Kogi West Senatorial election involving Sen Dino Melaye of the PDP and Sen Smart Adeyemi of the APC is to hold on Nov. 16, according to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). INEC, in a statement signed Mr Festus Okoye, Chairman of its Information and Voter Committee, said that the senate election would hold simultaneously with the Kogi governorship election.

Okoye, INEC National Commissioner, in a statement made available to newsmen on Monday in Abuja, said that another by-election for the Sabuwa State Constituency in Katsina State had been slated for Nov. 30.

“The decision was taken at the commission’s meeting held on Monday,” the statement said.

He said that the fresh election was a sequel to the nullification of the Kogi West Senatorial District election conducted on Feb. 23, by the Election Petitions Tribunal and its subsequent affirmation by the Court of Appeal.

The Court of Appeal had upheld the ruling of the Election Petitions Tribunal which nullified the election of Sen. Dino Melaye (PDP), following a suit filed by Sen. Smart Adeyemi of the APC.

The Appeal Court, on Oct. 11, 2019, ordered INEC to conduct a fresh election within 90 days from the date of judgment with all those who participated in it as eligible candidates.

Okoye appealed to the candidates and political parties to conduct issue-based campaigns.

“We also enjoin stakeholders to eschew violence and avoid acts capable of creating apprehension or a sense of fear before, during and after the elections,’’ he said.

Okoye also disclosed that following extensive consultations with stakeholders and a review of the security situation with the relevant security agencies, the Commission fixed Nov. 30 for the conduct of bye-election in Sabuwa State Constituency, Katsina State.

He recalled that the Katsina State House of Assembly, vide a letter with Reference Number KTSHA/PER/HON/l24/VOL.l/24, dated Sept. 26, notified INEC of the death of Mustapha Abdullahi, who represented the constituency, and subsequently declared the seat vacant.

He said that the Commission would issue the Notice of Election on Oct. 23, while the conduct of party primaries would take place between Oct. 24 and Nov. 6.

According to Okoye, the last day for the submission of personal particulars of candidates (Form CF001), and the list of candidates (Form CFOO2) is Nov. 8.

“The last day for the submission of names and addresses of polling agents is Nov. 15, while campaigns will end on Nov. 28,” he said.

*Unilorin Pharmacists' Induction Ceremony: Setting the Record Straight*

In a fresh display of crass ignorance of procedures in a Federal University, and a pitiable show of contempt for minimum standard and unpardonable disregard for basic rules and regulations, those who have taken it upon themselves to rubbish anything, just anything, coming from the University of Ilorin, without considering its necessity or good intention, are at their shameless game once again!

Hiding behind the faceless name, Tijani_Faraday, these mischief makers took to the social media last weekend in a fruitless attempt to rubbish the well-groomed image of the University while maligning the character of its Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Sulyman Age Abdulkareem.

These enemies of progress tried to paint a very strange picture of what actually happened during the 4th Induction/Oath Taking Ceremony for the University's new Pharmacy graduates in a well-attended and very solemn occasion that took place in the University Main Auditorium last Friday.

It is pertinent to put the record straight not because the hireling is worth the trouble but because what is in a name is beyond a mere means of identification.

By choice, the University of Ilorin is an institution governed by a carefully and altruistically formulated set of rules and regulations, especially as it concerns strict adherence to academic calendar.

And our Vice-Chancellor, a thorough-bred Unilorite, is an unrepentant stickler to due process, whatever the situation and no matter whose ox is gored. We are not in the habit of bending the rules or cutting corners! This is one of the hallmarks of our well-acknowledged excellence in the comity of the nation's educational institutions.

To start with, the writer alleged that the Vice-Chancellor "suddenly cancelled and stripped graduands off (sic) their gowns". But every right thinking person would and should know that in the operations of a university system (a Federal University for that matter) no Vice-Chancellor has such power to outrightly cancel the graduation ceremony of the students.

Everybody present at the programme can confirm that registration of the attendees by the assigned ushers was what was happening at the venue, a normal procedure in all public events, to screen out undesirable elements like this Phantom Faraday and his cohort! In this era of technological advancement, one would have expected the ignoramus to have supported his claim that the Vice-Chancellor stripped graduands of their gowns with relevant pictures and/or video recordings rather than the picture of the proceeding of the programme he used.

The mischief merchant could have taken his time to confirm that the immediate past Dean of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences is Dr. Ayanniyi and not the late Prof. AbdulKareem Agunnu. Since he has no respect for the soul of the late Prof. Agunnu to have shamelessly lied against him that he approved a waiver for a course during his lifetime, one is not so surprised what such a fellow could do to the living. No sound minded person would ever believe Faraday's blatant lie against our well respected late Dean of the Faculty, Prof. Agunnu that he single-handedly approved a waiver of any course without the knowledge of the Faculty Board of Examiners, the Business Committee of Senate, because, and the Unuversity Senate itself. If any such move was made, the Vice-Chancellor would have equally been part of the decision as the Chairman of the Senate. Isn't that another ignorance displayed by this warped mind on how a university is run?

All organisations and individuals that have dealings with the University of Ilorin, know very well that the University has a well respected principle of keeping to time. This principle could even be described as inborn for Prof. Sulyman AbdulKareem as he is always punctual at all the events he is billed to attend, much less the one he is to preside over, like the Pharmacists Induction Ceremony under reference.

The little delay in the commencement of the programme was not caused by the Vice-Chancellor, as the hack writer insinuated. Indeed, it was in an attempt to comply with due process and ensure that academic and professional standards were not compromised that the programme got a little delayed. And at the end of the day, both the inductees and their parents were the happier for it.

The Vice-Chancellor should be commended for his magnanimity to have graciously given executive approval, on that Friday morning, for the additional names recently considered by the Business Committee of Senate, because, ahead of the next Senate meeting. And indeed, as the ceremony proceeded, the Registrar of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria, PSN, Pharm. N.A.E. Mohammed, who was represented on the occasion by the Head of Education and Training, PSN, Dr. Julius Idoko, and the Ag. Dean of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Dr. Olushola Aremu, duly acknowledged this and publicly thanked the Vice-Chancellor profusely for his magnanimity in their separate speeches.

Meanwhile,the Best Graduating Student for the 2018/2019 Session is Pharm. Abdulganiy Yusuf and not Lawal Azeemat Adeola, as shamelessly proclaimed by Faraday.

The Induction Ceremony was an interesting and well attended programme by the inductees, their proud parents, staff members of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, friends and other well wishers.

We are pretty sure that in years to come, the inductees will continue to treasure the pictures where they were individually having handshakes with the Vice-Chancellor!

In conclusion, we want to advise Faraday to advise his candidate, if he/she is among those that fail to make the graduating list, to look for another excuse rather than trying to soil the golden image of the University of Ilorin and the hard-earned good name of our hardworking and humane Vice-Chancellor.

Indeed, there is a limit to mischief!

Kunle Akogun
Director, Corporate Affairs,
University of Ilorin.

A Kwara State High Court sitting in Ilorin, on Thursday, ordered the final forfeiture of a plaza valued at N150 million belonging to a civil servant in Kwara State, Rasaq Momonu to the Federal Government.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission ( EFCC), Ilorin Zonal Office had approached the Court to give an order of final forfeiture of Asmau Plaza situated in University Road, Tanke Area of Ilorin after a reasonable suspicion that the said property was acquired with proceeds of unlawful activity.

Delivering the Judgment in the case of Thursday, Justice Sikiru Oyinloye held that the EFCC had fulfilled all the requirements of the law in the suit and thereby ordered that the said property should be forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.

“I have gone through the application brought by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, I also sighted the hearing notice issued to the respondent in the suit, Rasaq Momonu. This Honourable Court is persuaded that he had been served with the Court Processes.

The application brought by the EFCC is meritorious and granted. This Honourable Court hereby order the final forfeiture of the Landed property known as Asmau Plaza, Tanke Road, Ilorin, Kwara State to the Federal Government of Nigeria”

In the affidavit deposed to by Musa Gidado, an investigating officer with the EFCC, he urged the judge to order the final forfeiture of the Plaza which is suspected to be a proceed of unlawful activity.

“Investigations revealed that Rasaq Momonu used his influence as an Accountant with Kwara State Government to inflate and award contracts for the construction of two classrooms at Ogbondoroko and Obanisuwa Community In Kwara State.

“Investigations further revealed that the respondent who is a Civil Servant that earns less than N100,000 in a month cannot afford to build the house known as Asmau Plaza between 2010 -2012m.

“That I know as a fact that the respondent was confronted with the above findings by the applicant which he did not dispute and has agreed to forfeit the property known as Asmau Plaza to the Federal Government of Nigeria”, he said.

Moving the application for final forfeiture on Thursday, Counsel to the Applicant, Nnaemeka Omewa, urged the court to grant the order based on the provisions of Section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud and other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006.

“My Lord, We have a motion on notice dated 19th July 2019 and filed on the same day, the motion is brought pursuant to section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud and other fraud-related Offences, I urged the Court to grant the motion.

Justice Oyinloye, however, granted the application and resolved all the issues raised in favour of the EFCC.
