In the query letter, with reference number MLCA/CHI/30/VI/XX, dated January 5 and signed by the Director of Chieftaincy Affairs on behalf of the State Commissioner of the ministry, the governor wanted the Ohinoyi to answer the content of the query within 48 hours, even as he indicated that a panel will also be instituted to probe the matter.

LETTER OF QUERY

It has been observed with serious concern that you have exhibited deliberate attitude and actions capable of bringing Kogi State and Ebira land in particular to grave disrepute. These actions are quite unbecoming of revered Royal Father of your status.

Specifically, you were aware through many fora of the glorious visit of Mr. President and Commander-In-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces, His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR to Okene on 29^th December, 2022 to commission land mark projects executed by our dear Governor, His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello. In flagrant disregard to the person and high office of the President and the Governor, you bluntly refused to come out and receive the President at the designated venue rightly approved by the Executive Governor of the State.

It might interest you to note that official courtesy demands that when a personality of a President occupying the highest office in the land is visiting or even passing through the State, the Governor and top public officers including topmost Traditional Rulers are expected to receive him as a mark of respect for him and the Office he occupies. It is on record that in time past, Topmost Traditional Rulers including the President, Kogi State Council of Chiefs do receive the Governor of the State on his return from critical mission undertaken on behalf of the State. But, you have chosen to disdain the office of the Executive Governor, and this time, you did it with effrontery before the number one citizen of Nigeria.

This action of yours is an act of insubordination and disloyalty to the President and Commander-In-Chief of Nigerian Armed Forces, the Executive Governor of Kogi State and the entire Ebira nation as a whole. It portends grave danger to the Security of the State and laying bad precedence for Traditional Institution of the State.

In view of the above, I have been directed to request you to forward a written explanation within 48 hours why disciplinary action should not be taken against you for these acts of insubordination and disloyalty. Oral explanations may be required from you when a panel is set up to study your case.

It is expected that you will accord priority to the content of this letter, Your Royal Majesty.

Greenbarge Reporters

January 7, 2023

Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State has confirmed that there are currently two local governments that are still under the control of Boko Haram terrorists in the State.

He said that the two local governments are Guzamala and Kukawa in Borno North, even as he assured voters of their safety during the February and March general elections.

Governor Zulum, who visited President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja today, January 6, told news men that there will be no problem.

He said: “In-sha-Allah, in Borno State, we don’t have any problem.

“The security situation has improved tremendously by over 90 percent, so we don’t have any problem. Eligible voters can go and cast their votes on election day.

Governor Zulum compared the security situation in 2015 and 2019 in the state, saying that there had been great improvement.

“Even in the developed world, we still have some pockets of insecurity. But by and large, we have succeeded a lot. Over 90 percent of our security situation has been improved.”

The governor appealed to the people to go to their wards to collect their PVCs to enable them to cast their votes in the forthcoming elections.

The governor said that rehabilitation and resettlement are ongoing, adding that all refugees living in Republic of Niger and Chad and Cameroon would soon be resettled in the state.

“The Federal government is supporting our mission of rehabilitating. But most importantly, we are yet to complete our resettlement project and very soon we will resettle victims of Gudubali local government area.

“We will resettle all our refugees that are living Republic of Niger and Chad and Cameroon. Mr. President has given approval to this effect and very soon we will complete the entire settlement

“Resettlement is not something that is easy, it will take a long time. But the most important thing is that those that are very much in need to be resettled will be resettled.

“But most importantly we have closed down all official IDPs camps within Maiduguri Metropolitan Council and Gere local government area, as I said, last one year ago.

“For now, we don’t have any official IDP camp within Maiduguri Metropolitan Council; the unofficial camps will also be closed in the next few months,’’ Zulum told State House correspondents.

The governor also promised to rehabilitate Maiduguri-Gamborun-Gala road and Maiduguri-Banke road to create opportunities for the people to earn livelihoods.

How Security Man Raped Me In Hospital I Work, Nurse Tells Court

Greenbarge Reporters

January 7, 2023

A married woman working as a nurse in a school’s hospital in Lagos, Imolita (surname withheld) has narrated to the Special Offences Court, sitting in Ikeja Lagos, how a security guard working in the same hospital, Ibuchi Emmanuel, raped her while on duty.

Imolita, who narrated the circumstances around the rape to the Judge, Justice Ramon Oshodi, said that while she was on her way to inspect the school’s clinic before retiring to her desk, the defendant approached her and demanded to see her later that night.

She said that at about 9pm while she was at her desk, which had a bed beside it, the defendant knocked on the door to the room, but she hesitated to let him in.

She later let the defendant in after he requested vitamin C from her.

After giving him the drug, the 35-year-old said she offered Emmanuel a seat when he said he had wanted to say something to her.

According to her, during their discussion, he professed love to her and she replied that she was married with kids.

She said that he then proceeded to force himself on her and told her not to bother screaming for help because no one would hear her voice.

Imolita said: “I then told him that I know you are a man but I’m going to fight you so you won’t be able to have your way. While we were dragging each other, he got tired and was like even if he was going to have sex with me, he had no strength left. I then told him to take himself away because I’m not a cheap woman; he should go and look for single girls.”

She said Emmanuel agreed to leave the room but changed his mind and began making moves to kiss, touch and take off her pants, which she resisted.

“He came back and pushed me. After he did, I tried to kick him but he grabbed my legs. By then, I was already laying on my back while he was using his security boots to march my legs. I started begging him not to do what he wanted to do, but he insisted that he must do it.

“I asked him if he knew about the place I came from. I reminded him that I’m from Delta and women from that state don’t meet other men once married. I continued to beg him and told him that his action would cost me my marriage.

“He said anything that would happen should happen. I told him to hold on and that I had a condom in my bag. He said no and that was when he finished having his way with me,” she added.

During cross-examination, Imolita said the reason she told the defendant to get a condom was that she thought it would give her the chance to escape.

The case was adjourned by Justice Ramon Oshodi till 22 March, 2023, for continuation of trial, while the defendant was remanded in the Ikoyi Custodial Centre.

Tinubu Promises Youths Innovation Hubs, Technological Advancement

Greenbarge Reporters

January 7, 2023

The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has promised to create an enabling environment that will unlock the creative abilities of Nigerian youths if elected president.

Tinubu, who was speaking at a town-hall meeting with youths in Abuja said that being the dominant population in the country, the support of the youths is important in building a better Nigeria.

The Presidential candidate, who facilitated the negotiations between the striking university lecturers and the Federal Government, resulting in the calling off of their eight-month strike, said specifically that a conducive arrangement would be made available to the youths to finish their education and start thriving businesses.

“I will create a thriving and conducive environment for you to complete your education, start work or start a business, and earn a decent wage. With hard work and focus, you will once again be able to buy a car or a motorbike, buy a house, settle down, start a family and create a better life. I have plans to actualise all these dreams and can confirm that with your support these dreams will become a reality,” he said.

With the advent of technology, the APC candidate said his administration will help take advantage of recent innovations in the blockchain technology by reforming government policies around use of crypto assets. This he said, can provide over one million jobs within his administrations first two years in office.

Acknowledging that entertainment and sports have helped put Nigeria on the global map over and over again, Asiwaju Tinubu promised to build world-class entertainment venues and stadias across the country.

“I promise a thriving digital economy where those interested in pursuing careers of integrity in ICT will be able to do so. We will also ensure that Nigeria can take greater advantage of relatively recent innovations such as blockchain technology. We will reform government policy to encourage the prudent use of blockchain technology in finance and banking, identity management, revenue collection and the use of crypto assets. We shall implement policies that will train and build capacity among Nigeria’s large and youthful population to take greater advantage of the opportunities presented in ICT.

“I promise to invest in the infrastructure required to boost an already-successful entertainment industry. Working with private sector partners we will bridge the existing gaps to build modern media centers and upgrade existing entertainment venues and stadia across the country to world-class standards,” he said.

He also added, “My administration will reform the education sector by focusing on quality, access, funding, management, effectiveness, and competitiveness. I promise, we will provide good and quality education in tune with 21st Century demands.

“Our youth are some of the most brilliant people in the world, therefore we will equip you and ensure you are globally competitive and never left behind.

“We promise to give you a fairer deal. We promise to deliver results. We promise that the hope we are renewing will never be dashed.

“You shall become the leading catalysts driving the economic resurgence. You will be empowered for individual and collective success. There will be opportunities across board, and they will be for you. Let us go together!”

Governor of Kogi State and National Youth Coordinator of the campaign, Yahaya Bello, said the youths would stand by Asíwájú because he had demonstrated his love for youths by lifting many of them to be leaders in Nigeria today.

He said the APC candidate is the most qualified in the race and deserves to be elected president.

At the town hall meeting were Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State, Plateau State Governor and DG of the campaign, Simon Lalong, former governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo, Minister of Youths and Sports Development Sunday Akin Dare, party leaders and youth leaders.

Lawyer Olisa Agbakoba Heads To Court Over EFCC Alleged Violation Of Constitution

Editorial staff

January 5, 2023

A senior advocate of Nigeria, Olisa Agbakoba, has threatened to take legal action against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to enable the court to determine if the agency is empowered to investigate the activities of the state governments.

Agbakoba alleged that the commission is currently operating outside the constitution against the background that it is a creation of the National Assembly.

According to him, EFCC has no powers to interfere with the activities of state governments.

“The Supreme Court in many of its decisions had held that federalism means two autonomous and independent governments and if that is correct, the EFCC does not have the right to go to the state and examine their accounts.

“Anybody can read section 46 of the EFCC Act and Section 36(12) of the 1999 Constitution. Section 36(12) states that all offences must be defined and when you now read Section 46, you ask yourself if it complies with Section 36(12) because it does not.

“So, part of the prayers I will seek in court is that EFCC ought not to exist in the first place because it is not a branch of the police and that the job done by the EFCC is the same one being done by the Police Special Fraud Unit.”

His rise against the anti-graft agency is based on what he called the attack against the governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello, by the EFCC.

Editorial staff

January 5, 2023

The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has cautioned candidates of other political parties to avoid politics of ethnicity and religion while seeking support of Nigerians in the forthcoming election.

Kwankwaso, who is former Governor of Kano State, advised Nigerians to understand the realities on the ground and vote for those who can bring real change.

The NNPP flag bearer, who was received by his Edo State counterpart, Governor, Godwin Obaseki of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP said: “I must warn Nigerians against politics of ethnicity and religion while seeking the support of the electorate ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

“Some people don’t even understand the realities on the ground today. Every Nigerian is looking for a way out. Nobody is waiting for a neighbour or any leader to say this is the way.

“Any party or candidate that comes out with ethnicity or religion, that party or candidate at the national level has failed in the election even before it starts. For those of us who have been in the game for a long time, just prove yourself over the years, and remove every fear.

“There are people who are living in the air and don’t know the level of poverty, anger and hunger in the country.

“What Nigerians want is who can save this country in terms of insecurity, economy and dilapidated infrastructure that we see. Nigerians are not waiting for any person but will take decisions on their own.”

A senatorial candidate in the state, Okoduwa Akhigbe, said that the NNPP is the party of people that can rescue the nation from the present socio-economic quagmire.

He appealed to the people to come out in large numbers on election day to vote for Kwankwaso and all other NNPP candidates.

Customs Announces Seizure Of Smuggled Goods Worth N13.9 Billion In 2022

Editorial staff

January 5, 2023

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has announced that it impounded contraband goods with Duty Paid Value (DPV) worth N13.9 billion in 2022.

This is even as the Service said that it recovered about N878.3 million from goods cleared from the seaports and border stations with under payment of accruable duty.

The Customs Area Controller of the Federal Operations Unit, Hussein Kehinde Ejibunu, who made these known at a news briefing in Lagos, said that the Unit lost four of its officers in the course of fighting smugglers in the out gone year, adding that the Unit arrested 176 suspects during the period under review.

“In terms of volume, rice topped the list of our seizures. We seized 93,102 X 50 kilograms which amounts to about 156 trailer loads of rice. Even our newly constructed warehouse had an overflow of seized rice. A total number of 108 automobiles comprising of trucks, tankers, cars and motorcycles were seized either as smuggled items or means of conveyance of smuggled items. Illicit drugs seized within the year under review are, 7,354 kilograms and 4,975 tablets of Cannabis sativa, 233 cartons X 225 milligrams, and 82 packs X 225 milligrams of Tramadol.

“It is pertinent to remind us that these hard drugs fuel crime and insecurity. For petroleum products, this Unit seized 656,414 liters of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS); that is, about 20 tanker loads of fuel from economic saboteurs who seek to impoverish the majority of our country people by taking out petrol subsidised for citizens’ benefit to be sold in other countries.

“We arrested 176 smuggling suspects last year, secured 7 convictions, 14 were charged to court and are at various stages of investigation and prosecution, 7 suspects are in detention: 2 suspects were handed over to NDLEA, and 1 suspects was handed over to the Nigerian Police respectively, while 151 are on administrative bail.

“On a sad note, four of our officers namely: Late inspectors of Customs TP Astor, and A Onwueguzie, and Assistant Inspectors of Customs, Musa, R and Bristol, E lost their lives in active service while confronting smugglers last year. While we frowned at such murderous acts, we also ensured that those behind some of the killings were arrested to face justice. As approved by our enabling laws, the Unit patrolled within its area of responsibility and ensured that smuggled items were uncovered and seized wherever they were hidden.”

How I Will Create Jobs For Teeming Youths, Adults – Tinubu Tells Edo People

Editorial staff

January 5, 2023

Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said that one of the priorities of his government if he is voted in the February election would be the creation of massive employment opportunities for the mass of the citizens of the country.

He told a mammoth crowd today, January 5, at the APC Presidential Campaign rally held at the University of Benin Sports Complex, Ugbowo Campus, Benin, that his administration would focus on job creation through small scale industries.

He promised also to build a credible credit system for capital formation, bring multibillion dollar investments to Edo State and end estimated electricity billing.

“I will turn Edo State to energy State. I will convert Yahoo boys and make them useful by converting their talents and intellects to produce chips for industries.

“We can defeat poverty, ignorance and homelessness. We have the knowledge; we have the brain to do it. Trust me. I am an expert in finding the way where there is no way. I found a way to tame the Atlantic and turn it to money- making machine.”

On his plan for the economy and Edo people, Tinubu said it is time to eliminate darkness and make the economy of the country productive through massive industrialisation, promising to make Edo State a hub of industrial activities and an energy state.

At the very electrifying rally, Tinubu told the people that prosperity and happiness have come. He applauded the return of Benin artefacts by some Western nations but urged the countries to pay some money to Edo State having made huge money from the returned artefacts through tourism and exhibitions.

“Edo people, prosperity has come, happiness has come, hope is back in your homes, knowledge is back in your community. I am happy about the returned artefacts. They are bringing our artefacts. I support the Oba of Benin who said our heritage must come back but I disagree with the Europeans. They have used our artefacts for exhibitions and tourism for decades in their museums to make money. They should not just send them back without money. When I become President I will ask them to pay us restitution. I will contribute to the building of the museum in Benin.”

Tinubu spoke on his motivation to make life better for the poor and why opportunities must be created for young people to move up on socio-economic ladder.

“I believe the children of boli and groundnut sellers should become doctors, engineers, nurses etc. That was why I started the payment of WAEC fees for their children as governor in Lagos. If you want to become rich, elect me. If you say I should go and retire, it means you want to retire diamond and gold. Edo people, I am telling you like I say everywhere in Nigeria, elect me.”

Speaking at the rally, former governor of Edo State and Deputy Director- General of the Tinubu-Shettima Campaign, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, said that come February 25, Edo people would use their PVC to appreciate Tinubu as a father of multi-party democracy in Nigeria.

“If you want to understand why Obasanjo failed to turn Nigeria into a one-party state, it was the resistance of Asíwájú and others.

“Obasanjo also wanted to take over Lagos. Asíwájú said you can’t do it. If you are a military general, I am a general of politics. He fought him to a standstill,” Oshiomhole said.

He charged the crowd to mobilize their relatives and friends back home to vote for the APC candidate.

Financial Intelligence Warns Public, Private Entities Against Massive Cash Withdrawals

Editorial staff

January 5, 2023

The Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) has warned the public and private entities against massive cash withdrawals.

The Director and Chief Executive Officer of NFIU, Modibbor Hamman Tukur, who made the pronouncements at a press conference in Abuja today, January 5, warned that with the publication of the new guidelines, cash withdrawal from public accounts has been prohibited by requirement of the laws under reference while the payment of estacodes and overseas allowances to civil and public servants in cash has also been outlawed.

The NFIU boss also warned that any public officer at the federal, state and local government, who flouts the new cash policy, would be made the full the face weight of the law irrespective of their positions.

“It is hereby stated clearly that any individual or corporate body who violates the provisions of these Guidelines is in direct contravention of provisions of Section 2 of MLPPA, 2022, Section 13 of MLPPA, 2022, NFIU Act, 2018 and Section 26 of POCA, 2022, and their attendant principles and interpretations and will be liable to necessary prosecution and penalties from the effective said date. Cash withdrawals from public accounts would be treated as a money laundering offence.

“Also, it is hereby provided that any public officer or any citizen who comes into contact with the provisions of these Guidelines with its attendant principles shall as a matter of obligation promote the implementation and success of the Guidelines. The effective date for the enforcement and/or implementation of this guideline by all public authorities, institutions and organizations in the financial sector, financial institutions and designated non-financial institutions is 1^st March, 2023.”

The NFIU boss however gave one condition under which a public officer might be allowed to withdraw more cash than is allowed under the law, saying that only the Presidency could provide such a window.

According to Tukur, the waiver to withdraw more daily cash than approved by the CBN, can be granted by the Presidency based on exigency.

“there is nothing in these guidelines to suggest or indicate there is reason to compel or warrant a public official at federal, state and local government to go to a financial institution to withdraw cash. In the unlikely event that a public official feels he may need cash withdrawal, he may apply for approval for waiver from the Presidency which may be granted on case-by-case basis.

“Under no circumstance, shall any category of public officers be given a standing or continuous waiver to withdraw cash from any public account in any financial institution or designated non-financial institution.

“The application of these guidelines includes all foreign missions operating in Nigeria, accounts of all development partner institutions, and the accounts of all instituted funds in form of independent funds to be operated as mutual funds such as insurance funds, cooperative funds, brokerages funds, political party funds or pressure group/union funds, once the funds are designated to exist as funds or to operate independently for management and/or investment.

“By these guidelines, the local government N500,000 cash withdrawal limit with regards to public accounts and instituted funds are hereby discontinued. These guidelines supersede and repeal the N500,000 cash withdrawal limit of local government funds and also, since it is for criminal purpose, supersedes the CBN’s Regulation on cash withdrawal limit with regards to public accounts and instituted funds”.

The NFIU boss explained that the application of the new measures became necessary to enable Nigeria to comply with the Enforcement, Guidelines and Policies for Mitigation of Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing, Proliferation of Weapons and Prevention of Predicate Crimes. “In considering the provisions and enforcement requirements of the law, particularly Sections 2 and 13 of the MLPPA, 2022, Section 26 of the Proceeds of Crime (Recovery and Management) Act, (POCA) 2022, and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) circular on the revised cash withdrawal limits, issued pursuant to its powers under the CBN Act, 2007, and Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act, 2020, the NFIU noticed in the process of its financial transactions analysis that civil servants are becoming more and more vulnerable to money laundering and its predicate offences due to their exposure to cash withdrawals from public accounts.

“Although this guideline is meant to enforce the provisions of Sections 2 and 13 of MLPPA, 2022, to discontinue cash withdrawal from public accounts and establish clear audit trail, and mitigate corruption and other vices in public expenditure; it is also aimed at supporting law enforcement and the entire criminal justice system by strengthening transparency in investigation.

“According to NFIU analysis covering the period 2015 to 2022, the Federal Government withdrew N225.72 billion cash, State Governments withdrew N701.54 billion cash, and Local Governments withdrew N156.76 billion cash. The cash withdrawals directly contravene the provisions of the MLPPA, 2022 and the Proceeds of Crime (Recovery and Management) Act, 2022 (POCA, 2022) which provide the legal framework setting limitations on cash transactions and sanctions for infringement of the provisions.

“Section 2 of the MLPPA, 2022 restricts cash payments of a sum exceeding N5 million (or its equivalent) for individuals, and N10 million or its equivalent for a body corporate. Section 19 of the MLPPA, 2022 imposes a fine of at least N10 Million or imprisonment for a term of at least three years (or both), in the case of individuals; and a fine of N25 Million in the case of a body corporate. Section 26 of POCA, 2022 makes provision for the seizure and detention of cash over the prescribed amount under the law.

“Most cash withdrawals from public accounts are in excess of N5 million and N10 million respectively which is prohibited and liable to imprisonment upon conviction. The breach of this particular provision became so rampant because there are heavy withdrawals of cash from public accounts necessitated by inflation and changes in the economy, and also due to payment for overseas travels in terms of estacode and other overseas allowances.

“By the principles of Section 2 (Cash Transaction Outside Financial Institutions Limit), and Section 13 (Use of New Products, Business Practices and New Technologies) of the MLPPA, 2022, cash withdrawals must be prohibited in order to mitigate the risk of exposure of public servants to these crimes and protect the financial system from continuous abuse.

“In the meantime, this is not only indicting chief accounting officers of Ministries Departments and Agencies (MDAs) but in the context of Nigeria’s democracy, it gives room for adversaries, political opponents and antagonists to exploit the law against their competitors, or to their individual political advantage.

“Considering the provisions of Section 13 of the MLPPA, 2022, which depicts that in the light of the vulnerability stated above and risk, there must be redesign of products and technologies to respond to new circumstances and developments which directly applies in this particular case, for the protection of the innocent public servants against terms of imprisonment.

“Convictions on account of Section 2 of MLPPA, 2022 were becoming frequent in the law courts. Sections 3(1)(e), (n), and (l) as well as 23(2)(a) of the NFIU Act empowers the Unit to respond in line with our primary duty and issue guidelines, advise, monitor and report compliance on this to law enforcement and prosecutorial authorities.

“We support the CBN circular on cash withdrawal limit which is in harmony with the law, provided in Section 2 of MLPPA, 2022. This guideline will support the efforts of the CBN.”
