MARCH 9th, 2017





The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has re-arraigned three directors, Gregory Eriyanremu, Frank Ugen and Harriman Isa Oyofo before Justice Uloho of the Delta State High Court sitting in Warri for allegedly converting over N100million meant for payments of contractors who executed contract job for Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC, to personal use at different times.

The offence is contrary to Section 390 (9) of the Criminal Code, Cap. C21, Laws of Delta State of Nigeria 2006.
The defendants pleaded not guilty to the charge.

In view of their plea, counsel to EFCC, Kayode Oni, asked the court to fix a date for commencement of trial.

However, counsel to the 2nd defendant, Edorie Lawson Umuzu pleaded with the court to allow the accused persons to continue with the bail conditions granted the accused persons when they were first arraigned, an argument which was also canvassed by the other defence counsel.

Justice Uloho adjourned to April 7, 2017 for trial and ordered the accused persons to continue with the bail earlier granted them by court.

Stealing everyday,so much thieves everywhere,Nigeria fast becoming a land of thieves,Jesus where are you?

In an alleged ecstasy to impress their paymaster, a team of police operatives, on Sunday, shot dead one Elvis Ovie and injured another, Onome Eko, during a party in Warri, Delta State. Operatives, three of whom are now in police detention, were said to have been in a shooting spree to impress an alleged internet fraudster popularly called 'yahoo yahoo boys' for whom they were providing security. It was gathered that the gun-wielding cops were led by one Insp. Imana Samuel, a Sergeant and a corporal from the Warri Area Command. The vehicle reportedly used to hurriedly convey late Ovie and injured Eko to a hospital, it was gathered, also brushed off another unidentified victim who is now on admission in an undisclosed location. The killer-cops were later arrested by policemen attached to Warri 'B' Division headed by Mr Anietie Eyoh, the Divisional Police Officer, and is set for arraignment today.

Bishops Levi Richards and Eugene Gathers, both of the Fellowship of Affirming Ministries, walked Ms. Gause down the aisle, a role she had initially hoped would be accepted by her father, the Rev. Sam Gause Sr., a Pentecostal minister who lives in Atlanta. "She's our spiritual daughter," Bishop Richards said. Her father, Mr. Gause, citing "differences in theological beliefs," refused his daughter's invitation. "My father would not come here because he does not believe in same-sex marriage,"  Ms. Gause said. "He told me the devil tricked me into this, and that if we had been married in biblical times, we would have been stoned to death. Ms. Brown, 46, and Ms. Gause, 45, both pastors of Rivers of Living Water United Church of Christ, heard much softer words on their wedding day while holding hands before the Re...

Sule Lamido, the former governor of Jigawa state, has attributed his arrest and perceived persecution to his desire to run for president in 2019. This was disclosed by his chief press secretary, Umar Kyari, in a chat with The Vanguard on Monday. He said the current state governor, Mohammed Badaru is “scared stiff ” of Lamido’s ambition and clout and “raised a false alarm” as his party might lose the local elections slated for July 1. “But it is rather too late for anyone to stop Lamido from achieving his political ambition come 2019 since the people have already seen that he has what it takes to rule Nigeria and lift it out of the woods.” Lamido, according to the Force public relations officer (PRO), Moshood Jimoh, was arrested and is being investigated after the “state government complained against his directive to his supporters to cause trouble and we had to wade in.” Meanwhile, the Ahmed Makarfi-led Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has demanded...
