The International Criminal Police Organization, popularly known as Interpol has arrested a suspected Nigerian cybercrime kingpin, James Aliyu over alleged $12 million scam in South Africa.

Aliyu was arrested in his luxury Sandton estate yesterday, June 29, in connection with almost R196 million in alleged romance scamming and business email compromise fraud.

Reports from Times Live revealed that the Nigerian national who appeared in the Randburg magistrate’s court shortly after his arrest, is popular in South African social circles.

He is also well-known on Instagram following to his lavish holidays and excessive spending on luxury items for him and his girlfriend.

His audacious social media posts where he flaunts his wealth have gained him 17,000 followers on his Instagram account Oldsoldier.

According to law enforcement sources, after an almost six-year-long investigation into the alleged scammer’s activities, he was arrested based on a multi-agency investigation that included Interpol, the US department of homeland security investigations and the US Secret Service.

Sources claimed that James Aliyu has allegedly been in contact with several major convicted and suspected fraudsters from around the world and that he is considered a major player.

Among the fleet of luxury vehicles he allegedly bought with the proceeds of fraud are a Porche Cayenne, a Mercedes C220d and a Mercedes-Benz G Class luxury SUV. His social media profiles also depict him on luxury island resorts and luxury holidays in Dubai and the US.

James Aliyu is believed to be part of an international syndicate, some of whose members have already been convicted in the US.

He came into the spotlight in August last year when he accused South African actress, Khanyi Mbau’s boyfriend Terrence Kudzai Mushonga of defrauding him in an elaborate luxury R1.2m-vehicle scam.

He was then “wanted by the FBI for scamming Americans millions of rand.”

According to the report, James Aliyu believed a R720,000 Mercedes and a R500,000 Jaguar which he bought from Mushonga were stolen and hijacked by criminals he claimed had worked for Mushonga.

In March 2020, the SA Reserve Bank confiscated R231,000 contained in Aliyu’s Standard Bank account under Exchange Control Regulation 22E.

James Aliyu is expected to appear in the Randburg magistrate’s court on Tuesday, where proceedings for his extradition for trial in the US are expected to start.

University Vice Chancellors Call On Buhari To Intervene In Prolonged ASUU, FG Face-Off

June 30, 2022

The Committee of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities called on President Muhammadu Buhari to quicken the process of resolving the ongoing dispute between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU) and the other tertiary education institutions currently on strike.

The Chairman of the Committee, Professor Samuel Edoumiekumo, who spoke today, June 30 at the launch of the Intellectual Property Policy Document for Universities in Abuja.

“We plead that drastic action is taken to stem the hemorrhage that the system is currently witnessing. For the sake of our children and our society, we need the decision,” he said.

Speaking on the policy document being launched, Edoumiekumo explained that the document had been through six stages of preparation and conforms with the World Intellectual Property Organisations (WIPO) format on Intellectual property policy development.

“Intellectual property became the focal point of the deliberation given its essential role in the academic operations of universities in particular and the principal role of ideas in a knowledge-driven economy and society”.

According to him, “over the years, there have been several attempts by the Copyright Commission, which is the regulatory body, to ensure that academic institutions properly codify their intellectual property policies to conform with the World Intellectual Property format”.

“The CVCNU recognized this as a significant venture and worked with the NCC to develop a model intellectual property policy upon which universities that do not currently have one can build.

“The model policy document contains clauses that clearly state the ownership of ideas and inventions that are developed with resources from the universities and the rights of use,” he said.

He explained that the document clarifies issues relating to research contracts, incentives, rewards and compensation for intellectual property that arise from its commercialization.

“It advises on how to maintain IP assets and resolve conflicts of interests, conflicts of commitments, and other disputes. A vital part of the draft document is how to accommodate the Expression of Folklore, Traditional Knowledge, and Genetic Resources in our IP policy document.

“Following today’s presentation, we expect our universities to develop their policies based on their particular operating environment and upload their final Senate-approved copies of the WIPO portal for global access.

“The CVCNU will track this development and constantly report to its members’ and stakeholders’ progress in this regard,” he said.

ASUU has been on strike since February 14th, 2022, citing different demands that the FG had failed to meet as its reasons. Some of the demands include payments of salary arrears, better working conditions, renegotiation of the 2009 FG-ASUU agreement, payment of earned academic allowances, funds for the revitalization of public universities, and promotion arrears, and poor funding of state universities.

Other tertiary institution unions also on strike include the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU), and the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT).

SSANU and NASU had announced the extension of their strike by two months on Wednesday, 22nd June, saying that the strike would only end when the Federal Government meets members’ demands.

Another tertiary education institution currently on strike is the Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU) which announced the commencement of a one-month strike starting on Tuesday, June 14, 2022.

Buhari Identifies 5 Key Areas Nigeria And Portugal Can Cooperate To Fast Track Development

Editorial staff

June 30, 2022

President Muhammadu Buhari has identified five key areas of cooperation and collaboration capable of fast tracking development of Portugal and Nigeria.
In his statement today, June 30, on areas of cooperation between Nigeria and Portugal, delivered at the Presidential Palace in Lisbon, Buhari called on Portugal to consider Nigeria as a valued and trusted partner in Africa.
‘‘At a time the world is going through turbulent times, we feel that a strong friendship and partnership between Nigeria and Portugal can act as a force for good.’’
He listed the areas of cooperation and collaboration as follows: oil and gas, tourism and hospitality industry, air travel, security and joint commission.
On oil and gas, President Buhari said with the current Russian-Ukraine war, increased cooperation in oil and gas between the two countries has become vital to avoid crisis in the demand and supply chain, even as Nigeria is already a major supplier of gas to Portugal.
On tourism and hospitality industry, President Buhari explained that Nigeria had huge potential in the sector and would like to benefit from the enormous expertise of his hosts in this area as shown in Portugal becoming a prime tourist destination.
On air travel, the President emphasized the need to sign a Bilateral Air Services Agreement (BASA) and quickly establish a direct air link between the two countries.
He noted that cooperation between the two counties in this area is vital for increased trade and investment, tourism promotion, people-to-people contact as well as social and cultural engagement.
Affirming Nigeria’s renewed commitment towards the fight against terrorism in the Lake Chad and the Sahel Region, the President told his Portuguese counterpart that Nigeria would welcome the support of the Portuguese Government through intelligence and information sharing, weapons and training of security personnel of member states.
President Buhari stressed the need to establish a Joint Commission, saying:
‘‘We believe that the establishment of a Joint Commission will help to promote the full realization of the objectives of our bilateral relations.
‘‘The Commission would facilitate the institutionalization of cooperation mechanisms and permit the elaboration and implementation of concrete, specific and viable projects and programmes for the benefit of our people.’’
The President added that Nigeria and Portugal can cooperate closely on a range of agricultural and renewable energy projects.
‘‘Nigeria recognizes Portugal’s comparative advantages in the fields of renewable energy and pharmaceuticals which are also priority areas for Nigeria.
‘‘Other areas of cooperation which are of importance include; the Establishment of an Atlantic Research Centre; Political Consultations; Diplomatic Training; Cultural Cooperation; Investment Promotion; Chambers of Commerce Cooperation; Women and Child Development; Youth and Sports Development and Digital Economy Cooperation.
‘‘That is why we look forward to signing Memoranda of Understanding and Cooperation Agreements in those areas.”
Earlier at a ceremonial welcome at Praca do Imperio by the President of Portugal, President Buhari had laid a wreath at the tomb of Luis Vaz de Camoes, the national poet, at the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos. The Monastery of Jeronimos is one of the most decorative churches in Portugal. The body of the famous explorer, Vasco da Gama is interred in the lower chancel, just left of the entrance, opposite venerated 16th-century poet Luís Vaz de Camões, popularly perceived as Portugal’s Shakespeare.
From the upper choir, there’s a superb view of the church; the rows of seats are Portugal’s first Renaissance woodcarvings. The President’s State Visit officially started from here, received by President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa featuring an impressive military parade and a guided tour of the Monastery.
The Nigerian leader was also conferred with the Portuguese National Honour and decorated ‘Great Collar of the Order of Prince Henry.’

Why We Have Taken Strong Measures Against Social Media – President Buhari

Greenbarge Reporters

June 30, 2022

President Muhammadu Buhari has said that his government has taken what he called “strong measures” in recent time against some social media platforms to curb their excesses and prevent them from destabilizing the country.

He said: “many countries, including our own have had to take strong measures against some social media platforms to curb their excesses and prevent them from destabilizing our societies.

Buhari, who spoke at a meeting with representatives of Nigerians living in Portugal, noted that social media platform has empowered Nigerians in the diaspora and given them great influence.

“As we have seen, however, social media can be a force for good as well as a force for evil.”

The President called on Nigerians in Diaspora to use social media responsibly.

“We all want the best for our country and people, so let us strive to build, unite and prosper our nation and people and not to insult and incite from a safe and anonymous distance.”

President Buhari expressed delight in the successful involvement of Diaspora in various fields such as agriculture, health care, education, ICT, and the food industry in Nigeria.

He noted that many countries, including Nigeria, have shown that their diaspora can be a veritable engine for growth and development.

Acknowledging the huge contribution the Diaspora have made to Nigeria’s economy, the President said:

‘‘In every field of human endeavour, be it the creative industries, sports, health, academia, Nigerians in the diaspora have thrived and leveraged on their skills to raise our country’s profile higher, economically, socially, technologically and culturally.

‘‘It is for these reasons that this Government established the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) to facilitate and support your engagement with our country for a win-win outcome in our effort to keep Nigerians united at home and abroad.

‘‘You must continue to be our ambassadors-at-large in your comportment, actions and character.

‘‘You must excel and be the best in all your endeavours. While here, you must also not forget home as you are the example we want to project to the rest of the world.’’

The Nigerian leader assured the meeting, coordinated by Chairman NIDCOM, Hon Abike Dabiri-Erewa that the Federal Government would continue to do everything possible to catalyse development in various fields of the economy.

He encouraged them to key into the programmes of NiDCOM, so as to contribute to initiatives such as the Nigerian Diaspora Investment Trust Fund.

Buhari assured Nigerians all over the world that of a free hand to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, reiterating the commitment of his administration to ensure that the Commission (INEC) delivers peaceful, transparent, free, fair and credible elections next year.

‘‘We also look forward to a smooth transition to the next government. As I have said before, our Administration will not compromise on doing the right things and the welfare of Nigerians, home and abroad,’’ the President said.

Citing the last gubernatorial elections in Anambra and Ekiti State, the President noted that this administration has proven consistently its zero tolerance for interference in elections and insistence that Nigerians should be allowed to vote for the party and candidate of their choice.

The President also used the occasion to caution against the use of social media to insult and incite from a safe and anonymous distance, urging the Diaspora to always promote Nigeria’s unity.

‘‘The world is a global village and technology has shrunk the world even more. Although you reside beyond Nigeria’s boundaries you can engage easily with the country. In fact, we see the impact of that engagement clearly on social media.”

Nigerian Ambassador to Portugal, Alex Enan Kefas, told President Buhari that records indicate that there are about 3,000 Nigerians living in the country, who are generally well behaved and living peacefully among themselves and the host authorities.

The Ambassador confirmed the recent arrest and detention of about thirteen Nigerians for alleged offences of money laundering and cybercrime.

He explained that the Embassy conducted a consular visit to the prison which revealed that the arrests were ‘‘disproportionate and unjust’’ as many of them were innocent of the allegations.

He said that the Mission is trying its best to ensure the release of the innocent to enable them to reunite with their families.

At the meeting with the Diaspora, a Nigerian professional footballer, Saviour Godwin, who plays for Portuguese side, Casa Pia, presented a jersey to President Buhari.

Biting Economy Calls For Support Of Schools By Old Students – Dr. Femi Adefila

Greenbarge Reporters

June 30, 2022

Founder of RAVE FM in Osogbo, Osun State, Dr. Femi Adefila has emphasized the need for old students to play active roles in developing their alma mater especially in this era of economic hardship.

He said that alumni associations could become the pillars on which the development of the nation’s schools would stand, adding:.“the economic situation across the globe isn’t favourable at the moment. Nigeria’s situation is particularly precarious.”
Dr. Femi Adefila, who is the Chairman of the Planning Committee of the 30th Graduation Anniversary of the 1992 set of the Association of Mass Communications Graduates of the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, Ogun State, noted that the nation’s economic hardship has led to the schools, especially government schools, being sidelined in the allocation of very scarce resources.
“This has placed a responsibility on old students to embark on a rescue mission to the schools by pulling resources together to support the schools in the areas of modern infrastructure and facilitating volunteers to help the students in bridging the gap in the impartation of critical knowledge.”
Dr. Fdmi Adefila explained that this understanding informed the decision of AMACOG 92 to renovate the television studio of the Mass Communication Department of MAPOLY and install in the studio modern facilities that would aid the students in quality learning.
The unveiling of the studio, he said, would be held on Friday, July 1, where several dignitaries, including the Acting Rector, MAPOLY, Adeoye Odedeji; Head of Department, Mass Communication Department, Lekan Togunwa; and Olota of Ota, Prof. Adeyemi Obalanlege, would be present.
“The unveiling of the departmental television station is part of the 30th anniversary of the AMACOG members who graduated from the then Ogun State Polytechnic in 1992.
“We were also in the school five years ago to support the department in various areas as part of the need to reach out to our former school.”
He said that the 30th anniversary celebration would be rounded off with a dinner on Friday.

Police Still Harassing Journalists In Nigeria, With Make – Up Stories, Press Institute Complains

Editorial staff

June 29, 2022

International Press Institute (IPI) Nigeria has complained that even with democracy in full swing in Nigeria, Nigeria Police still thrive in harassing journalists in the country.

Referring to the case of the arrest, detention and subsequent arraignment before a magistrate court in Bauchi, of the publisher of WikkiTimes online newspaper, Haruna Mohammed and a reporter, Idris Kamal, by the police in Bauchi, the Institute said that it is all part of the design to shoot down the media men and women.

“The offences of criminal conspiracy, defamation of character and cyber stalking with which the journalists have now been charged are not only unfortunate, but also show that the police are using bogus crimes with which to continue the harassment and intimidation of the journalists.”

The Institute’s Secretary in Nigeria, Ahmed I. Shekarau, who issued the statement, condemned the practice of using the police by civilians to harass and intimidate journalists, saying: “anyone who is aggrieved by any news item published by WikkiTimes should seek redress in court instead of using the police or other security agents to harass the journalists.”

The Institute said that Nigeria’s legal system has made adequate provisions for protection of reputation, adding: “IPI Nigeria demands the withdrawal and discontinuation of the vexatious charges filed against the two journalists with immediate effect.”

It called on the Inspector General of Police to call the Bauchi State police command to order.

How Will Tinubu, Atiku, Peter Obi Address Insecurity? By Fredrick Nwabufo

Editorial staff

June 29, 2022

Nigeria is caught in a maelstrom. Ravagers roam across the land unchallenged, extracting tolls in tears and blood from citizens. They expropriate land and govern according to their lust for violence. There is hopelessness in the streets as the country sinks deeper and deeper into a blood fest. Insecurity will be the toughest trial of the next administration.

Insurgency, banditry and kidnapping have become a quotidian aspect of the Nigerian life. Killings and kidnappings have persisted with each incident surpassing the previous in gruesomeness, audacity and ruthlessness.

Over 5,067 citizens were reported killed in 2021 – according to TheCable Index. 14 Nigerians were killed every day from January to December, 2021. In the first quarter of 2022, 1,743 Nigerians were killed — with Niger, Zamfara topping the list of victims. This figure surpassed the number of civilians reportedly killed in the first month of the Russia-Ukraine war.

Last Thursday, a divisional police officer (DPO) who was leading his men to rescue kidnap victims in Nasarawa was himself stolen by these dare-devil freebooters. His abductors demanded five million naira before he would be freed. What could be more embarrassing? A few days ago, some residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) were kidnapped on their farm. In Niger, Zamfara and Kaduna, citizens have resigned to a doomed existence. The situation appears hopeless.

Nigerians held high hopes for the Buhari administration because of the president’s promise to roll back the crushing boulder of insecurity. There was a surfeit of hope and trust in the president being a retired army general. But clearly, the administration is overwhelmed and has surrendered to the fierce and cold grip of these death-dealers from the netherworld.

How will Bola Tinubu, APC presidential candidate; Atiku Abubakar, PDP presidential candidate, and Peter Obi, Labour Party presidential candidate, address this challenge? What is their experience in managing crises? What solutions have they suggested in their public statements? And how did they respond to security troubles in their time in public office?

We need to stir disciplined conversations on the most pressing issues – not inanities — and interrogate those that have come forward to lead the country on matters of governance.

BOLA TINUBU

Tinubu has been an advocate of state police. He had emphasised the primacy of state police a number of times in public discourses. In a statement in 2020, the APC presidential candidate said state policing is the viable path to securing Nigeria and Nigerians. Hear him: “The time has come to take the necessary legal actions to allow for the creation of state police and the recruitment and training of many more police officers. Such state-created forces should be based on the modern tenets of community policing and optimal relations and cooperation with local communities. Measures such as these are needed to cure present gaps in how military and law enforcement treat the general public.’’

It is obvious the present security set-up cannot guarantee the protection of citizens. Recently, Nasir El-Rufai, governor of Kaduna, whose state has suffered much devastation from the devilment of terrorists, called for the creation of state police. Bello Matawalle, another governor whose state (Zamfara) is in the throes of terror, a few days ago asked residents to take up firearms and defend themselves. What could be more depressing?

Really, I agree there is a need for the retooling of the current security architecture which is unwieldy and cannot cover many parts of the country, leaving ungoverned spaces for terrorists to annex. But if Tinubu becomes president, can he pull off the creation of state police? The national assembly has a critical role to play as well as the state houses of assembly because the constitution will need to be amended to accommodate the new force. Currently, policing is the exclusive preserve of the federal government. I believe unbundling the current policing arrangement where orders will have to come from Abuja for an operation in Okitipupa is long overdue.

PETER OBI

Obi has been unequivocal about the place of job creation as a counteragent to insecurity. He has said many times that unemployment is the instigator of insecurity. I agree, but not absolutely.

The Labour Party presidential candidate once said: “The state of insecurity under this administration is the worst the country has ever experienced. To address it, we need to look at the economy and focus on reversing the loss of jobs.’’

Unemployment is a vector of insecurity, no doubt. But it is simplistic to assume that unemployment is the sole agent of the crisis. I will grade job creation; welfare guarantees and provision of common facilities as basic duties of government. But insecurity goes deeper than job statistics. Even countries like the US with relatively impressive job statistics are still plagued by violent crimes. So, essentially Peter Obi needs to work out his security blueprint and strategy.

ATIKU ABUBAKAR

Atiku’s antiserum to insecurity is the mixture of job creation and boosting the police number. He has said on different occasions that with job creation and effective policing the crime rate will plummet.

“Every part of this country is dealing with one aspect of insecurity or the other, I will be very tough on law and order. I will increase the number of policemen in this country. I will equip them, I will also increase the number of the armed forces, equip them very well, just like we did from 1999 to 2015. It is only when you secure the country, there is peace, there is law and order, you can deal with economic challenges,’’ he said in May at a meeting with delegates in Ogun state.

I agree with Atiku on his prescription. But are we not taking the same route as before as regards recruiting more police officers? It has been done before, but what has changed? In the past, as it is in the present, the recruitment of police officers was often steeped in controversy and allegations of corruption. Will Atiku alter the status quo, if he becomes president?

I urge the candidates to release their security strategy documents so that Nigerians can better assess their readiness to address this challenge. It should not be the same perfunctory performances and histrionics – Nigeria is at war.
