Saraki Distances Himself From The Ruling APC
Saraki’s verified Twitter biography previously read, in part, “Member of the APC.”
But now the Senate President's bio simply read:
“Senate President and Chairman of the 8th National Assembly. Committed to Transparency and Accountability.”
According to Punch observation, one twitter user, Am Human No Labels, said, “Sir, are you no longer a member of the ruling party? I can’t find APC on your bio anymore.”
In the same vein, @olufemisp wrote, “I knew it was when @bukolasaraki deleted the “APC” that proudly adorned his bio. This Saraki war will consume the party.”
Another user, AS Aruwa, said, “I just noticed that @bukolasaraki has deleted ‘Member of the APC’ from his bio. Someone is about to decamp?”
Maryam Abubakar also asked, “Now that the ‘APC’ on Bukola Saraki’s Twitter bio is gone, what should we expect?”
“Why is the APC on your bio gone sir?” @RichieDectector asked, while Ayokunle Odekunle wrote, “@BukolaSaraki removes the ‘APC’ from his bio. It gets more interesting.”
Afolabi Ajiboro also said, “@ogundamisi have you noticed that @bukolasaraki has removed APC from his bio on Twitter? Minutes later the PDP released statement defending him.”
The Senate President did not respond to the controversy on Twitter.
Meanwhile, the Force Headquarters on Saturday said it was waiting for the bench warrant issued by the Code of Conduct Tribunal for the arrest of Saraki, so that they can take action on him.

Abuja Big Thief Selling Properties To Return Looted N103m
The Chairman, Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, Mr. Ekpo Nta, on Thursday, said a Federal Pay Officer who allegedly diverted N103m meant for three Federal Government colleges had been selling off his properties to pay back the loot.
The ICPC Chairman said while the commission had already recovered N53m from the suspect, he would still be in the commission’s custody till the recovery of the balance.
The ICPC boss said the commission had recorded successes in the fight against corruption, starting with the recovery of assets seized from officials of government who he said were being investigated for living above their means.
He said the law provided that anyone whose assets were seized had the right to challenge the seizure within one year. He stressed that non of the big thieves had attempted to do so to prove his innocence.
Nta said, “We just returned close to N1bn to the Federal Ministry of Environment and N53m to three colleges in Ogun State.
“An official in the ministry took the money and lodged it into a dedicated account. We tracked it and recovered the money. The N53m we just returned to the schools was recovered from a Federal Pay Officer in Ogun State.
“The man is currently in custody and we will keep him there so that we will be able to recover the entire N103m that he took. He has been disposing of his properties to ensure that he pays up.
“The sum of N103m taken by the Federal Pay Officer was meant for feeding of students in those schools. These are what we have been doing to return integrity to the society.”

Jonathan's Secret Bullion Van Cash: CBN's Emefiele Must Be Suspended Immediately
Jonathan N67bn Bullion Heist: CBN Governor Emefiele Must Be Suspended Immediately
While struggling to adjust to the recent exposé on Jonathan's looting of about $100 million monthly via a ridiculous local oil transporting hustle for which I had to highlight that Jonathan and company was the worst thieving establishment in world history, a latest report on the bullion van carting off of N67 billion, about $400 million from the Central Bank for rigging use by the PDP party in the recently concluded presidential elections has caused me a mental heart attack.Truth is, it is not like we did not know.
I wrote in article "Jonathan poised to beat Obama's billion record in re-election campaign," published January this year that "Billions of dollars have been reported stolen every year from State coffers according to global transparency organizations and the nation’s former central bank governor, now Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. Much of these funds are expected to be poured into campaigns."
Again I wrote in a viral article condemning the resort to punish Nigerians and cripple the economy as a remedy for the very CBN-supported carting of funds towards the 2015 polls that, "Fines for deposits and withdrawals are a violation of Nigerians’ fundamental human rights... Whereas the real reason for the weakening foreign reserves is governing cabal looting, laundering and ruling party political dollar raining..." See: "NOTICE: CBN Engaging in Fraudulent Anti-Citizen Policies In Contravention of 2007 Act," published May this year.
You did not need a crystal ball to know why our currency had lost value. It is not because of what we import with it; it is not because we buy and deposit dollars in our accounts. We have been doing these things for years. It is also not because oil returned to its pre-PDP 16 years awwuf sale price. The reason why the naira crashed suddenly was because the Jonathan government and his 467 national assembly thieves, like Alibaba and his forty thieves, had directly stolen so many millions in foreign exchange and pumped these into the streets in the well witnessed PDP election campaign "dollar-rain."

This is why Nigeria's economy is facing hardship; this is why the naira value fell and this is why Godwin is punishing us with all these illegal measures against our deposits, withdrawals and ability to purchase and utilize foreign currencies. You do not need to be a professor of economics to appreciate that the CBN-Jonathan looting and raining of dollars to buy votes and voters cards is why the naira is today so challenged. That is economics 101.
With this realized, where the very Godwin Emefiele was the CBN governor who supervised the carting out of the millions of dollars that wrecked our economy and he is the same person rather instituting policies to further deprive and crush us masses for the looting he assisted in perpetrating, it is incumbent on the Buhari/Osinbajo government to immediately suspend the CBN governor and initiate or complete as the case may be, investigations on his conduct towards harsh retribution of him and Jonathan and company.
As a single treasury account has been ordered to be controlled by the very Godwin Emefiele led CBN, it is an insult to the national conscience and fraud to the change mantra, comparable to putting a wolf to protect the sheep, for the accused Godwin to remain at the helm of affairs of this single Apex bank account.
The future of Nigeria should be greater than the pocket of one man or those of his gang of fellow thieves. It is time for justice.

Photo: Three suspected female 'jihadi brides' arrested in Kenya
The suspicious 'Jihadi brides' aged between 15-18 years were nabbed in a bus at Mtwapa in Kilifi County en-route to Garissa.
Security agents managed to recover laptops, satellite phones, military boots, surveillance pen, laptop charger, external hard disk and ear phones. It is reported that the items were to be handed over to an Al-Shabaab operative as soon as the suspects arrived in Garissa. Reports further indicate that a fourth suspect who handed over the items to be delivered to the Al Shabaab militant in Garissa, fled to the United Kingdom leaving three phone numbers that the girls were to use to call the receiver.
State Lawyer Eugene Wangila said the police believe the suspects were part of a wider terror network and that the police would require experts from anti-cybercrime police to analyse the laptops found in their possession.
The girls were arraigned in court and will be detained for 30 days to enable the police complete their investigations. Wangila told Mombassa Principal Magistrate Diana Mochache that the threat of terrorism was grave and there is a need for police to be given time to complete investigations.
"We want 30 days to investigate the matter. They were intercepted aboard Muhsin Bus at the Mwapa Weighbridge in Kilifi County on thier way to Garissa following a tip-off," said Wangila.
