EFCC goes after Ibori with 170-count charge

EFCC goes after Ibori with 170-count charge
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is set to arrest former Delta state governor James Ibori who just returned from serving around six years in a UK jail.
The charges followed allegations that Ibori diverted N40bn Delta state government funds while in power and tried to bribe ex-EFCC chairman Nuhu Ribadu with $15m cash.
Although the an Asaba High Court struck out the 170 charges levelled against Ibori, an appeal by EFCC was granted by a three-man panel of justices at Appeal Court, Benin Division on May 15, 2014, saying that corruption matter against the ex-governor should be reopened when he completes his jail term in the UK.
“As things stand, the EFCC has the right to arrest him at anytime. Ibori, among other allegations, was accused of embezzling N40bn which belonged to the state. Also, a former Chairman of the EFCC, Nuhu Ribadu, alleged that the former governor attempted to bribe him with $15m cash.”
He has since paid a visit to the offices of the Department of State Services (DSS) after he was picked up by operatives of the secret police on his arrival at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
Ignoring the level of corruption that landed Ibori in a London jail, an aide to Delta state governor Ifeanyi Okowa,Ovie Success Ossai, has said that the ex-governor did well for the state.
Ossai said though Ibori was made to pass through hard time in the United Kingdom, he is worthy of emulation.
He wondered how many politicians in Nigeria could boast of being welcome and celebrated even from prison as Ibori was given by the people of Delta state.

WOMAN CHARGED FOR ALLEGEDLY RAPING CABBY

By

    It's the story of a 4:25am taxi ride and an alleged rape, but one that doesn't go the way you might expect. A 23-year-old Ohio woman was last week charged with raping her male cab driver, who was allegedly being held at knifepoint by one of the two men who accompanied her. Police say Brittany Carter, Cory Jackson, and a second unidentified male arranged for a pickup at a TownePlace Suites hotel in Findlay on Jan. 28.     The Smoking Gun quotes the indictment as alleging Carter "purposely compelled" the 29-year-old victim to participate in a sex act "by force or threat of force"; he was otherwise uninjured. The Courier reports the prosecutor was unsure whether the car was parked or moving when the alleged crime took place. "We don't know why she did it," Findlay Detective Lt. Robert Ring told the News-Messenger in reference to the sex act. "Maybe it was a distraction because they took money from him." The money was the $32 t...

ALEXEI NAVALNY CONTINUES PRESIDENCAMPAIGN JUST HOURS AFTER BEING RELEASED FROM PRISON

By
Image
PHOTO Alexei Navalny is campaigning furiously ahead of next year's election. Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny didn't let 20 days in prison interfere with his bid to be president. Within hours of his release, he flew to southern Russia to continue campaigning. Eric Campbell was the only foreign journalist to witness it. It was raining in Astrakhan. Pouring. Hundreds of bedraggled supporters huddled under leafless autumn trees in the small run-down park the local authorities had grudgingly sanctioned for the rally. But none were going to leave until they'd seen if Alexei Navalny really would take a two-hour flight from Moscow to meet them after just being let out of jail. The strains of Rocky blared from loudspeakers as Russia's most popular opposition figure finally walked in at sunset, flanked by bodyguards and his personal entourage. He looked remarkably clean and relaxed after serving 20 days for organising "unsanctioned" rallies. "I was thinkin...

BOKO HARAM LEADER ADMITS KILLING SPOKESMAN 25th Feb 2017, The leader of Boko Haram’s main faction, Abubakar Shekau, has admitted killing the group’s spokesman The leader of Boko Haram’s main faction, Abubakar Shekau, has admitted killing the group’s spokesman over an apparent plot to oust him. In a 50-minute audio tape obtained by AFP, Shekau told some members of his inner circle that he killed “Tasiu” also known as Abu Zinnira who appeared in several video messages. “You should hear me: I killed Tasiu, hear me well,” he told the gathering in Hausa.He also stated the date of the meeting (December 18) and said it had been called to discuss “those elements grumbling over the killing of Tasiu”. Shekau’s claim appears to lend weight to reports of infighting within Boko Haram, whose insurgency has killed at least 20,000 in northeast Nigeria since 2009 and left 2.6 million homeless. Shekau has been the most visible face of Boko Haram over the years, claiming attacks and releas...

• Commends Jonathan for sacrificing personal ambition for public interest The European Union (EU) has denied the perception in some quarters that it favoured a particular candidate above the other in the 2015 presidential election in Nigeria, stressing that the EU was more interested in deepening democracy and the electoral process than who emerged president. Former Chief Observer of the 2015 EU Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) and member of the European Parliament, Santiago Fisas, who made the clarification in Abuja at the weekend in response to questions from journalists on his assessment of the 2015 polls, also commended former President Goodluck Jonathan for sacrificing his personal ambition for the interest of the people. "The international community was not in favour of any candidate. The election was done in a proper way and I praise former President Goodluck Jonathan for accepting defeat. I think it has proved that he is a man of the state that he put the interest of ...

I usually do not write,talk or contribute to whatever it is that has to do with prisoners generally. Why because,even though I am not perfect,I do not have a criminal record and I know how very careful I mind myself,the law and people in general to avoid even been invited as witness in any case,talk more of been a plaintiff or accused. But the post below has touched and drawn my attention to the suffering of the people involved even though I do not know them and in as much as I can not authenticate the post or source,I know and believe there are lots of Nigerians and other nationals in this very situation around Africa and the world. My concentration here is on Nigerians,in as much as I hardly feel for criminals (not saying all prisoners are guilty),we have a country very terrible,from our heartless shadow boxing pretender of a president Buhari to almost all of our senators and representatives nation wide,who abandon and ignore their very duties to serve Nigerians and instead concentra...
