Saraki On The Run, Cries Out From His Hiding

Senate President Bukola Saraki has gone into hiding immediate after the Code of Conduct tribal ordered his arrest for his utter disregard for the Tribunal. Speaking from his safe haven, he has described the call for his arrest by the Tribunal on Friday as an abuse of rule of law.

“The Tribunal today left nobody in doubt that it cannot do justice on the matter before it. The tribunal has equally set a bad precedent in the way and manner it conducted itself during the proceedings.

“We want to emphasise the fact that this is not part of any war against corruption but using state institutions to fight political opponents. And seeking to achieve through the back door what some people cannot get through democratic process.

“We need to caution here that in a desperate bid to settle political scores and nail imaginary enemies, we should not destroy our democratic institutions and heat the polity for selfish reasons. Let us all learn from history."

Saraki said this in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Yusuph Olaniyonu.

He claimed that Saraki’s absence from the tribunal was based on a legal advice from his counsel that the tribunal would respect the decision of the Federal High Court. 

Unfortunately for Saraki, both the court and the tribunal are of equal standing.

Bukola Saraki, I Will Get You Before Monday – Police IG

As the case against the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, over alleged false declaration of assets took a different turn at the weekend, the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase has assured that he would arrest the Senate President as directed by the law before Monday.

“We are going to promptly arrest the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki and produce him before the Code of Conduct Tribunal on Monday. Since it is a bench warrant issued by a competent court, the order will be carried out without delay. We don’t want to pre-empt anything.”

This was disclosed by new Force PRO, Mrs. Olabisi Kolawole, in an interview with LEADERSHIP.

The Code of Conduct Tribunal sitting in Abuja, had on Friday, issued a bench warrant for Saraki’s arrest, for failing to appear in court over his ongoing trial for alleged false declaration of his assets. Prior to the issuance of the arrest warrant by the CCT, Saraki had approached a High Court which gave ruling faulting the process of his planned arraignment at the of Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).

The Tribunal ordered the Inspector General of Police to arrest and produce the Senate President before it on Monday. The Tribunal ruled that Saraki must be available to take plea in the 13-count charge slammed on him by the Federal Government over alleged false declaration of assets.

A deputy director in the office of the Attorney General of the Federation, Mr. M.S. Hassan, applied for the arrest order following Saraki’s refusal to appear before the Tribunal to enter his plea.

It was stated that a Justice of the High Court lacked the powers to summon the CCT and CCB chairmen, even as it accused Saraki of engaging in “forum shopping” in a desperate bid to scuttle his trial. 

The case against Saraki:

The 13-count charge accused him of making anticipatory declaration of assets, false declaration of assets and maintenance of foreign account contrary to the Third Schedule of the Constitution.

Meet The Young Man Who May Emerge The New Ooni of Ife

*Prince Adeyeye Ogunwusi may be next Ife King...
He is not that young, but compared to other contenders for the throne he is. Information reaching Society Beats revealed that with the demise of the highly dignified Oba Okunade Sijuwade, Olubuse II, who in his capacity as the Oonirisa of the Source brought a lot of fanfare and prestige to the already well revered stool at one time or the other had been occupied by such illustrious personalities as Oduduwa & Oranmiyan, the race for the next Ooni has been on and the four ruling families; Osinkola, Ogboru Giesi and Lafogido are the contenders.

A declaration document was signed by the then Chairman of Chieftaincy Committee of Oranmiyan Local Government; P. O. Olaniyi.

The document, which was forwarded for approval on September 14, 1979 was signed on January 28, 1980 approving the rotation of the stool among the four ruling houses, in that order. The document was prepared under the reign of the late Oba Adesoji Aderemi who was from the Oshikola ruling family.

The late Oba Okunade Sijuwade, the Olubuse II, being a product of the Ogboru ruling house, the next in line to ascend the throne could therefore come from the Giesi family. 

The Prince of the source, a fearless and self-made business man, Prince Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, being the 4th direct descendant of the Giesi family, is in all context, the man for the throne.

About forty years ago in the ancient city of Ile-Ife, a prince was born into the Giesi Ruling House, Ojaja Royal Compound of Agbedegbede in Ile-Ife. He was named Adeyeye. Prince Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi was quietly delivered into the humble family of Prince Ropo and Late Mrs Margaret Wuraola Ogunwusi (Ile Opa family compound, Ile Ife).

The father was a radio and television anchor and presentation star that spanned the entire mid-1980s to early 21st century in the South-western part of Nigeria.

All things been equal he has been tipped to come and rule his fatherland, we hope he will be willing to rule his people and turn around the history like he is turning around businesses in his area of interests.

TROUBLE IN TRIBUNAL: Akpabio’s Witness Goes Blind

A drama played out at the Akwa Ibom National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal on Wednesday in Abuja when suddenly one of the witness of embattled former governor Godswill Akpabio, Mr. Stanley Annah from Ikot Ekpene dramatically turned blind when given the card reader report to state the total number of accredited voters for Ikot Ekpene.

Mr Annah, who told the tribunal that elections held in all the polling units of the council, suddenly turned blind and mute when told to read out the total number of accredited voters based on the card reader for Ikot Ekpene on exhibit P19. "I can’t see anything, I can’t read," he said.

He wore glasses. Asked if truly he is a graduate of agriculture as he claimed, he said yes but still can’t read the figures. He also claimed he has no idea of the number of polling units in Ikot Ekpene.

After minutes of vain attempt to evade the question, he reluctantly read out 22,761 as the total number of accredited voters for Ikot Ekpene. He had also earlier declared he can’t see nor read the total number of votes cast in the Local Government.

Anything you can't defend, don't get involved in it. Lol!

The last witness for the day was Francis Idungafa , a former PDP chairman from Ika. He admitted that his polling unit, Nto Udo Enwan Primary School, had the result mutilated and inflated. 

Twice he told the tribunal that total number of accredited voters was cancelled from 530 to 650 while total valid votes cast was also cancelled and inflated from 402 to 648 even though the card reader report proved that the unit had 155 successful accreditation and 137 failed accreditation, totaling 292 accredited voters. 

Rivers and Akwa Ibom states, the electoral fraud committed are just too much.

Suspect Sulley Fuiseni, a 30 year old leader of a group called Safety Empire , a gang that allegedly brutally assault a man suspected to be a gay in Nima has finally been arrested.

Fuiseni aka Achidundu was apprehended by plain clothes police personnel from the Adabraka police station in collaboration with the Nima Neighbourhood Watch Committee after allegedly pouring hot water on another victim at Nima last Tuesday night at Nima after escaping arrest for the past five weeks.

His arrest has given a sort of relief to some residents of Nima after suffering brutalities and other attacks in the hands of the said terrorist group.

He is now in the custody of the Accra Regional Police Command assisting in investigations.

Narrating the incidence to the DAILY GUIDE, Amadu Ibrahim Jebkle, aka Avalon, the chairman in charge of the Nima Neighborhood Watch Committee said suspect Achidundu was apprehended around 10pm last Tuesday night.

After allegedly leading the gang to brutally assault one Hamza Sanisu, accused of being a homosexual last month, some of the youth who were against his actions became his enemies.

On September 4, 2015, Fuseini and his gang poured boiling water on one of the youth in a heated argument at a spot called parliament house.

The victim who suffered some burns on the face reported the matter to the Adabraka police.

Through intelligence Fuseini was arrested by plainclothes police officers that fateful Tuesday when he attempted to enter an internet café around 10pm to browse.

It would be recalled that police launched a search for suspect Achidundu for leading thugs to brutally assault a man suspected to be a gay at Nima on August 14, 2015.

The suspected gay captured on video was stripped naked while being assaulted by the irate gang members.

The video shows a group of irate youth some wielding planks and sticks beating the suspect amidst cacophonic session of interrogations in Hausa.

Woman deceived online boyfriend, leaving mother and daughter to commit suicide

                       
A mother and daughter killed themselves in a horrific suicide pact after a warped fraudster trapped them in a staggeringly bizarre web of threats and lies. Yesterday, the full extent of Linsey Cotton’s heartless deception was disclosed in court.

Cotton, a single mother of two from West Lothian, invented a phantom girlfriend, a bogus stem cell trial, a fictitious murdering doctor and a non-existent government cover-up and she made up a whole cast of characters for her charade.

Cotton, 33, used 15 phones, two laptops and two tablet computers to convince her victims she was more than a dozen different people. At various points, she played a nurse, a barrister and government officials.

Her scam netted her nearly £5000 and a hoard of expensive gifts. But she also terrorised Margaret McDonough and daughter Nicola until they checked into a Premier Inn, took pills and slashed themselves.

Margaret, 52, died within hours of being found at the Greenock hotel on May 10, 2013. Nicola, 23, passed away three days later.

In the run-up to the tragedy, Cotton had convinced the women they faced 20 years in prison and turned their son and brother against them. Her lawyer said she was sorry. Cotton began her scheme a year before the double suicide by ensnaring Margaret’s son Michael, a 33-year-old corporal.

In May 2012, she joined dating site Plenty of Fish – using the name and photo of her stepsister Steph, who had nothing to do with the scam.

Michael saw “Steph” and fell for her. But when they began phoning each other, it was Cotton he was talking to, and she wasted no time filling his head with lies.

She told Michael that Steph was having trouble with her sister’s boyfriend. Then, posing as Steph’s mum, she said the boyfriend had attacked her and left her in hospital with bleeding on the brain.
Soon after, Cotton said Steph had been chosen for a pioneering stem cell trial run by a company called Biotech.

Cotton created a number of characters who told Michael on the phone that they were visiting Steph in hospital.

Michael by now believed Steph was his girlfriend and wanted to visit her too.But Cotton told him she was being moved around different hospitals and couldn’t see him because she had signed a confidentiality agreement for the trial.

Her lies then became even more elaborate. She told Michael a Biotech doctor had tried to kill Steph by poisoning her with drugs, that the Government were involved and that the press had been banned from reporting the case.

Glo Xchange will guarantee safe mobile money transactions - Globacom, Partner banks

    

Integrated telecoms operator, Globacom, has disclosed that customers who carry out mobile money transactions through its Glo Xchange mobile money Super Agent network have no fear for the safety of their money as top rated security features have been put in place to secure customer funds and identity.

Globacom’s Head of Mobile Money Financial Business, Mr. Esaie Diei, at the commercial roll out of Glo Xchange Agents in Lagos, said it is a secure and encrypted platform, where even those working on the platform “cannot see customers' transactions.”
Explaining the operations of mobile money on the Glo Xchange network, Diei explained that the possibility of a customer falling into the hands of fraudsters has been taken care of by the dedicated toll-free Agent-Care short number 33003.
Diei assured that customers can send an SMS with the phone number of an agent to the short code, 33003 to confirm if the particular agent is genuine or not, adding that the same short code will provide the customer with the location of the nearest Glo Xchange agent and also answer other enquiries, free of charge.
"A dedicated USSD short code, *800# that will allow Glo Xchange agents to access the mobile money services of any partner Mobile Money Operator (MMO) has also been provided", he said.
About 1,000 market-ready agents have been engaged into the market for Globacom’s mobile money service, Glo Xchange, which is Nigeria’s first mobile money super-agent network sequel to the successful Glo Xchange training programme for thousands of potential agents last year, in over 30 states in the country.
 Globacom’s  Gloworld Coordinator, Mr. Ebenezer Kolawole, said 10,000 well-trained and proficient Glo Xchange agents will be added to the  network in the next 12 months to deliver the much expected mobile money revolution in Nigeria.
According to him, the Glo Xchange Agents will operate from designated mobile money outlets such as kiosks, shops, pharmacies, supermarkets and mega stores in strategic locations across the country.
Kolawole disclosed that these outlets will complement the over 160 Gloworld and Glozone shops, which are already offering Glo Xchange services to customers along with branches of all Globacom’s mobile money partners such as First Bank, Ecobank, Stanbic IBTC Bank and Zenith Bank.
"Glo Xchange was introduced to speed up financial inclusion in the country as well as take cashless transactions and e-payments to the grassroots in order to enable mobile phone users to make payments, do transfers, buy airtime, pay utility bills such as, Dstv, GoTV, and  PHCN among others; pay expressway tolls and conduct any such financial transactions without cash exchange, but through the mobile phone", he said adding that “All businesses which would join the Glo Xchange Network will get the reward of being the pioneer for the mobile money revolution in Nigeria “.
 Mr. Yinka Shorungbe, Country Head, Ecobank Mobile congratulated Globacom and said that the Glo Xchange mobile money agency will bridge the existing gap in the financial sector just as Chioma Okoye, Stanbic IBTC’s Network Manager and Nnenna Igbani of First Bank’s Agent Management and Mobile Financial Services Department pledged the continuous support of their organisations to the Glo Xchange  mobile money project.
All mobile money agents and customers who use the Glo network will have access to impressive  rewards and mouth-watering incentives, Globacom assured.
