Politics / Why Iyiola Omisore Is Still In Our Custody And Can’t Be Released Now – EFCC by Misscaro(f): 7:10pm On Jul 14, 2016 |
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has justified its continued detention of former Deputy Governor of Osun State, Iyiola Omisore. The EFCC gave details of its findings as regard how state’s funds were allegedly transferred to Omisore from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA). It said its investigation of Omisore’s alleged involvement in the diversion of state’s funds through the ONSA was still on- going and that it would need to hold on to the ex-Deputy Governor to prevent him from absconding. An EFCC’s investigator, Kassim Yusuf, said these in a counter- affidavit the commission filed against an application for bail filed by Omisore before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja. Yusuf, who stated that Omisore’s arrest and detention were backed by court orders, said the commission was planning to invite a number of the ex-Deputy Governor’s associates, who he named during interrogation. He said the EFCC is ” investigating cases of alleged payments $ade by the office of immediate past National Security Adviser, Col. Mohammed Sambo Dasuki (rtd) to individuals and companies, with nothing to show for it. “In one of the alleged cases which the 1st respondent (EFCC) is investigating, the name of the applicant (Omisore) featured prominently as a sole signatory to Firmex Gilt Ltd’s bank account domiciled at United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc. “A copy of a letter to UBA, forwarding signatory mandate card and statement of account of Firmex Gilt Ltd is hereby attached. “Several payments were also made by the office of the immediate past National Security Adviser, Col. Mohammed Sambo Dasuki Trtd) into the bank account of Sylvan Menamara Ltd domiciled at Diamond Bank, with nothing to show for for it. “Copies of e-payment schedules from ONSA and statement of accounts of Sylvan Menamara Ltd are hereby attached. “From Sylvan Menamara Ltd’s Diamondaccount, the sum of N160,000,000 was deposited into the said account on 4th August, 2014 by the then NSA. Thus sum was subsequently transferred into Firmex Gilt Ltd’s bank account domiciled at UBA Plc on 8th August 2014. “Investigation so far carried out, reveals that the applicant received hundreds of millions of naira from the office of the National Security Adviser, with nothing to show for it. “In the course of interviewing the applicant, he has mentioned names of persons and companies through which monies from the office of the National Security Adviser got to him. READ:- Fayose Replies EFCC Over Filling Station Ownership “There is need to those persons and companies mentioned by the applicant to make some clarification. If the applicant is granted bail, he will interfere with witnesses and he will also prejudice and frustrate our on-going investigation,” Yusuf said. Arguing the counter-affiadvit yesterday, EFCC’s lawyer, Takon Ndifon argued that Omisore’s detention was not unlawful and did not amount to an abuse of his rights. He contended that the fundamental rights enforcement suit initially filed before the court by Omisore, was merely intended to frustrate his investigation. Ndifon stated that Omisore was invited by the EFCC on April 11, in relation to the investigation, but promised to honour the invitation on April 14. “Instead of honouring the invitation in line with his rescheduled date of 14th April, 2016, he came and misled this court by obtaining an order of interim injunction restraining the 1st respondent (EFCC) from unlawfully arresting and detaining him without following the due process of law,” Ndifon said. He stated that his agency, in compliance with the law, obtained a warrant of arrest and remand warrant “to keep the applicant in its custody for 14 days pending the conclusion of its investigation and the arraignment of the applicant in court. Ndifon faulted Omisore’s claim to ill health, noting that he did not mention his ailment in his motion and that he also failed to establish that his purported ailment cannot be treated in the country. “We further submit that, based on the applicant’s antecedent, if he is granted bail, he will abscond and he will never willingly present himself to the 1ts respondent for arraignment before any court of law.” Omisore’s lawyer, Chris Uche (SAN) urged the court to grant his client bail. He faulted Omisore’s continued detention and argued that the court, having restrained the EFCC from arresting him, his current detention was illegal. Uche also referred to his cleint’s ill health, which he said required that he be released from custody and allowed to attend to seek medical attention outside the country. Justice Olukayode Adeniyi, after listening to parties, fixed ruling for Friday. http://solidvevo.com.ng/2016/07/14/iyiola-omisore-still-custody-cant-released-now-efcc/ |

Education / Ebonyi Government Suspends Unified Exam Policy In Schools by Misscaro(f): 5:43pm On Jul 13, 2016 |
Ebonyi state government Wednesday announced suspension of the unified examinations policy indefinitely. It blamed the decision on the illegal fees collected from students by schools heads for the exams. The state Commissioner for Education Prof John Eke announced this while briefing reporters in Abakaliki, the state capital. He gave all school Principals in the state seven days ultimatum to refund the illegal fees they collected from students for unified examinations introduced by the government in the school system. According to him, any school principal who fails to refund the illegal fees after the seven days ultimatum will be sanctioned. He noted that the government introduced the concept of the unified examinations in all the public and private schools in the state to tackle the poor performances of students in WAEC and NECO. Prof Ekeh noted that the illegal fees imposed on the students by Principals for the unified exams was threatening the concept and tarnishing image of government. He said: “We came up with a decision that there must be unified examinations for students before they move to their next classes.” ‘’We approved for amount of money to be collected for the unified exams; N1, 000 for secondary schools and N500 for primary school. In it, N100 was approved for logistics for secondary schools while N50 was approved for primary schools. ‘’Unfortunately and embarrassingly, some school heads started collecting outside what we approved. Some are collecting N1, 500, some are collecting N700 instead of what was approved and this government feels for the plight of our parents”. ‘’This is why we decided to suspend the unified exams indefinitely and order the refund of all the fees collected from the students for it because the unified examination is not for money making,’’ he said. http://solidvevo.com.ng/2016/07/13/ebonyi-government-suspends-unified-exam-policy-schools/ |
Politics / Nigeria Must Remain Polio-free – President Buhari by Misscaro(f): 11:01pm On Jul 12, 2016 |
President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday directed the Federal Ministries of Health and Information to reinvigorate strategies in concert with state governments, to ensure that Nigeria is finally certified polio free by 2017. He gave the directive while receiving the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Director for Africa, Dr. Matshidiso Rebecca Moeti at the State House, Abuja. He also said international partnerships were needed to sustain Nigeria’s polio-free status. Buhari, in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said: ‘‘We have not recorded any case of polio in the last two years but we should not be complacent. ‘‘The breakdown of law and order in the Northeast has posed challenges to regular immunization. The condition of children in Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps around the country is very pathetic. ‘‘But I know that the Federal and state governments in partnership with international organizations and NGOs are doing so much to provide healthcare, rebuild infrastructure and facilitate voluntary return of displaced persons to their communities.” The President told the visiting WHO envoy, who was accompanied by Nigeria’s Minister of Health, Prof Isaac Adewole and the Minister of State, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, that his administration would continue to accord priority to healthcare through regular funding of public health related programmes. Under the federal government health intervention programme, the Federal Ministry of Health will provide free surgery to 10,000 poor and needy Nigerians who are registered with the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). The programme, which will commence on July 18, in 46 health facilities across the country, will also extend free breast and cervical cancer tests to 18,000 Nigerians and free diabetes and hypertension tests for 500,000 Nigerians.

The National Working Committee, NWC, of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has formally adopted the Appeal Committee’s report endorsing Godwin Obaseki as the party’s flag-bearer for the September governorship election in Edo State. Disclosing this yesterday, the National Secretary of the APC, Mai Mala Buni, stated that the NEC led by the National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun unanimously adopted the report of the three-member Appeal Committee. The Committee had on Wednesday June 29, 2016 submitted its report to the APC National Chairman at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja following petitions received by two aspirants, Barr Kenneth Imansuagbon and Engr Chris Ogiemwonyi. Buni noted that the Appeal Committee in its report submitted that the Edo primaries were valid, adding that while not dismissing the seriousness of the allegations and claims of the petitioners, the issues raised were not compelling as to warrant the cancellation of the primary election. He further urged all APC stakeholders in Edo State to put the party’s interest over and above personal interests in ensuring a speedy and amicable reconciliation. The recommendation of the Appeal Committee reads; “The leadership of the party should step up diplomacy in trying to reconcile stakeholders in Edo State. We also urged the National Chairman of the party, His Excellency, Chief John Odigie- Oyegun, to consolidate on his involvement in reaching out to all aggrieved parties. “We equally recommend that a high-powered committee be set up by the party to reach out and mediate between the Edo State Governor, His Excellency, Adams Oshiomhole and all aspirants who participated in the primary election.” http://solidvevo.com.ng/2016/07/12/apc-nwc-approves-obaseki-edo-polls/ |

Politics / Boko Haram Kills 2 Soldiers , Loses 16 Members In The North Clash by Misscaro(f): 1:09pm On Jul 10, 2016 |
Nigerian army officials say 16 Boko Haram terrorists and two soldiers have been killed when the extremists tried to ride explosives-laden motorcycles into an army base in the country’s volatile northeast. An army spokesman, Col. Sani Kukasheka, said in a statement Saturday that soldiers at the base in Rann in Borno State repelled the extremists with a gunfight that went on for hours. He said two soldiers were killed when a suicide bomber drove into a truck and exploded. Kukasheka said soldiers found most of the bodies of the attackers Saturday morning, but he added that “quite a number escaped with gunshot wounds.” Boko Haram’s nearly seven-year-old insurgency has killed some 20,000 people and forced 2 million from their homes. The Nigeria-based group last year began regular attacks in neighboring countries. http://solidvevo.com.ng/2016/07/10/boko-haram-kills-2-soldiers-loses-16-members-north-clash/ |
Politics / Aregbesola Said A Word That Calmed The Hijab Tension In Osun – Obasanjo by Misscaro(f): 12:16pm On Jul 10, 2016 |
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Saturday said that the recent tension in the state over a court ruling on the use of hijab in Osun secondary schools was doused as a result of a word spoken by the state governor, Rauf Aregbesola. Obasanjo did not disclose what exactly the governor said, but he said it confirmed his neutrality in the matter. Obasanjo, who was represented by Dr. Femi Majekodunmi, was speaking in Odeomu in Osun state at the handover of a multipurpose hall and a library donated by Senator Yinka Omilani to mark his 80th birthday. “He (Obasanjo) is in China now. He said the governor (Aregbesola) said something which confirmed his neutrality in the matter; that word went a long way in dousing the tension which recently heightened in the state,” Majekodunmi said. Gov. Aregbesola was present at the event alongside other dignitaries like Chief Shuaib Oyedokun, Chief Ebenezer Babatope, Senator Olasunkanmi Akinlabi; and former Minister of Police Affairs, Jelili Adesiyan. The multipurpose hall has a capacity to seat 1000 persons, while the library can accommodate 100 persons at a time according to the donor, Yinka Omilani. He said there was the need to revive the reading culture among the youths and the old ones as well. “The library has been moderately kitted with books for a start and I wish to seize this opportunity to call on my fellow educated indigenes of Ode Omu to continuously seek ways of improving the library,” Omilani said. http://solidvevo.com.ng/2016/07/10/aregbesola-said-word-calmed-hijab-tension-osun-obasanjo/ |

Politics / Ali Modu Sheriff Heads To Appeal Court by Misscaro(f): 6:53am On Jul 05, 2016 |
The embattled factional chairman of the PDP, Ali Modu Sheriff, has headed to the Appeal Court after a Federal High Court in Port Harcourt recognized the Ahmed Makarfi-led caretaker committee as the only legitimate organ of the party. Mr Sheriff told journalists in Abuja shortly after the court ruling that he remained the chairman of the party until the Court of Appeal set aside an earlier ruling of a Federal High Court in Abuja which was in his favour. According to him, the Federal High Court in Port Harcourt is of equal ranking with that in Abuja and therefore cannot make him vacate office until a higher court rules otherwise. Meanwhile, a statement signed by Ahmed Makarfi after the court ruling in Port Harcourt has appealed to the embattled chairman to sheath his sword and join hands to build the party. A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, has granted reliefs sought by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on the controversies trailing the changes effected in the party’s leadership. According to Justice Abdullahi Liman of the Federal High Court 1, the national convention held on May 21, 2016 in the state capital was legal and did not go contrary to any law. http://solidvevo.com.ng/2016/07/05/ali-modu-sheriff-heads-appeal-court/
