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.

OUR LAND MUST BE HEALED: PRESS RELEASE ON THE UGEP CRISIS OF JUNE 29, 2017 Yesterday, June 29, 2017 I lost my nephew , Jude Iroh Junior in the cult related war currently ravaging Ugep, my ancestral home. As painful as the loss of this relative is, many of us saw it coming. I didn't know I will be a direct victim. It would have been any of us. For years, I have been raising alarms on the stockpiling of arms by politicians and the arming of jobless youths by them for elections. This hydra-headed demon they created is what has also snowballed into the present crisis. As a community, we know the perpetrators of these crimes. They are our siblings and friends. However, we continue to shield them. Today I am a victim. Tomorrow it will be you. In my family's case, we have summoned my nephew who was killed yesterday to a family meeting some weeks earlier and directed him to quit when we learnt he is a member of a blood thirstily and murderous cult group known as Viking . He acknowledg...
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...
How we make money by killing and kidnapping "It is my destiny to become a kidnapper, stop asking me why I did it. It is true that my parents are rich cattle rearers, I have no excuse except that it is the wish of Allah," retorted Abduraham Ahmed, a Fulani herdsman who was obviously irritated by the repeated query as to why he decided to abandon cattle rearing for a career in abduction. He is among several kidnap suspects recently arrested by operatives of the Special Tactical Squad (STS) deployed by the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, to check the wave of kidnap and robbery attacks along the corridors of Kaduna, Kano, Kogi and Niger states' highways in the past months. His other accomplices netted by the team, headed by an Assistant Commissioner of Police, Yusuf Kolo, are Mohammed Mujumu, Umar Garba, Jabbi Mohammed, Suleiman Mohammed, Ali Bello, Habu Mamoni and Jubril Musa. The arrest of members of the gangs, who had unleashed terror on hapless residents ...
