WE HAVE TRACED $487.5M, N47.2BN IN CASH AND PROPERTIES TO MRS DIEZANI ALISON-MADUEKE

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission said it had so far, through painstaking investigations by its operatives, traced N47.2bn and $487.5m in cash and properties to a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke. These, the anti-graft agency said, were apart from "boxes of gold, silver and diamond jewellery, worth several million British pounds sterling," discovered during a search of Diezani's palatial residences in Abuja. The EFCC said it discovered several of Diezani's landed properties scattered all over Lagos and other parts of the country in the course of its investigations, adding that it was doubtful if the former minister declared her true assets as required of public officials. This was contained in an article entitled, "Diezani Alison-Madueke: What an appetite," jointly authored by two officers in the EFCC's Public Affairs Directorate, Tony Orilade and Aishah Gambari, and which was made available to The PUNCH.

HEADLESS TORSO AMPUTATED 'DELIBERATELY' COULD BE SUBMARINE JOURNALIST, DANISH POLICE SAY

By
Image
Danish police say the size of a headless female torso found on the sea's edge in Copenhagen suggests it could be that of a Swedish journalist who died after taking a submarine ride with the vessel's Danish inventor. Police said divers were still searching the area and they were investigating reports of other body parts that may have been spotted in Copenhagen harbour. Danish inventor Peter Madsen has been charged with killing Kim Wall , a Swedish journalist, in his home-made submarine. "We're dealing with a torso where arms, legs and head were cut off deliberately," Copenhagen police spokesman Jens Moller said in a video statement. "The length of the torso doesn't speak against it being Kim Wall, but we still don't know." Mr Madsen told a court she had died in an accident on board the submarine and that he had buried her at sea, changing his earlier statement that he dropped her off alive in Copenhagen. Police are conducting DNA tests to identify...

TERROR GROUP ISIS USES AMERICAN BOY TO THREATEN DONALD TRUMP

ISIS for the first time apparently used an American child in a propaganda video, a boy living in the so-called Islamic State . "My message to Trump, the puppet of the Jews: Allah promised us victory, promised you defeat," the child who gives his name as Yousef said amid ruins in the terrorist group's Syrian capital, Raqqa. "This battle is not gonna end in Raqqa or Mosul. It's gonna end in you lands." Yousef speaks in clear, unaccented English, but his real identity is unknown. Yousef said he moved to Syria from America with his family two years ago. "My father's an American soldier who fought the mujahideen in Iraq," he said in the video. The video shows Yousef speaking Arabic, and also has clips where he appears to be reading from a Qur'an in Arabic. In other clips, he and the Yazidi boy walk through bombed out areas of Raqqa, and in another they follow an adult man into a building and assemble rifles and other weapons. Six of the 131 Amer...
