FG Spending Abacha's Loot On Ekiti Election
President Muhammadu Buhari has been accused of using the Abacha loot in funding the electioneering campaign of his APC colleague, Fayemi in Ekiti.
Late Sani Abacha
The governorship candidate of Peoples Democratic Party in Ekiti State, Prof. Kolapo Olusola, has accused the Federal Government of moving part of the $321m recovered from the late Abacha family to Ekiti for Saturday’s governorship election.
Olusola, who is the incumbent deputy governor, said about $50m of the recovered loot was moved from Abuja in a chartered flight through Akure Airport to Ekiti in two bullion vans to support the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Dr Kayode Fayemi.
The Director, Media and Publicity of Kolapo Olusola Campaign Organisation, Lere Olayinka, raised this alarm at a press briefing in Ado Ekiti on Thursday.
He said, “Last week Saturday, two bullion vehicles were moved to the Akure Airport to evacuate cash brought from Abuja by a chartered flight.
“The flight landed when it was raining and all staff members of the airport were barred from going near the aircraft while the cash was evacuated into the two bullion vehicles.
“After offloading the huge cash, the bullion van first moved to the Ondo State Government House in Akure from where they left for Isan Ekiti, the hometown of the APC governorship candidate, Dr Kayode Fayemi.”
Olusola claimed that preliminary findings indicated that N2.5bn cash was transferred by the Kebbi State Government to an account in UBA, Wuse Zone 4, Abuja.
“It was withdrawn immediately and moved with a private jet to Akure. Also, apart from the N2.5bn, another $50m (about N18bn) was taken from the $321m recovered from the late Abacha family.
“Our question is, how can a government that claimed to be fighting corruption released billions of naira from the public coffers for the governorship election of a single state? Where is their fight against corruption?”
Olusola called on Nigerians to note this wanton looting of public fund by the APC government to fund the election of its members.
“We must tell Fayemi and his APC that the conscience of the people of Ekiti cannot be purchased and we call on the people of Ekiti to resist the planned use of the stolen fund to buy their votes of Saturday,” he added.
Olusola also called the attention of the public to alleged intimidation and harassment of PDP members by men of the Department of State Services and policemen.
But reacting, the Director, Media and Publicity, Kayode Fayemi Campaign Organisation, Wole Olujobi, described the allegation as coming from the pit of hell.
He said, “Discerning minds will note the lies contained in the story by a single logic that it took Eleka (Olusola) and Olayinka a whole week after the leak of funds movement before they alerted Nigerians about a purported money cargo being offloaded in Akure for Fayemi’s election in Ekiti.
“By this lie from the pit of hell, we know that the PDP is trying to paint a picture that it is a comrade-in-crime with APC after Fayose’s 2014 poll fraud funded with the loot from the office of the National Security Adviser.”

External Reserves Drop By $102m In Six Days
Nigeria's soaring external reserves has shrank drastically in the last couple of days as the local economy continues to struggle.

The nation’s foreign exchange reserves have pared some of the gains recorded last month, falling by $102m in the six days to Wednesday.
Available data obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria on Thursday showed that the reserves stood at $47.697bn on July 11, down from $47.799bn on July 5.
The reserves rose to $47.789bn on June 29 from $47.605bn on May 31, according to the CBN data.
On Tuesday, the CBN said it injected the sum of $210m into the interbank foreign exchange market to meet customers’ requests in various segments of the market.
The apex bank said it offered $100m to authorised dealers in the wholesale segment of the market, while the Small and Medium-Scale Enterprises segment got the sum of $55m.
It said customers needing forex for invisibles such as tuition fees, medical payments and Basic Travel Allowance, among others, were also allocated the sum of $55m.
The naira is expected to be stable next week, which is driven by exporters selling dollars on the interbank currency market, Reuters quoted traders as saying.
The naira has been trading between 362 and 363 per dollar for a while as customers shy away from trading the currency weaker. Traders say dollar liquidity improved this week with lenders selling export proceeds to customers.
On the official interbank market, the naira is quoted at around 305 against the dollar.
Meanwhile, analysts at FSDH Merchant Bank have noted that the external sector of the Nigerian economy improved further in the first quarter of 2018 as it recorded the best trade performance in the last nine quarters.
They stated in their latest monthly financial and economic report that the figures for Q1 2018, as published by the National Bureau of Statistics, revealed a noticeable improvement in the major indicators of the Nigerian foreign trade data.
The analysts said, “These Q1 2018 figures are broadly consistent with the 2018 forecast that FSDH Research published earlier this year in our Economic and Financial Market Reports for the period of 2018 to 2022. The strong foreign trade should help to sustain stability in the foreign exchange market.
“Our analysis shows that the total value of merchandise trade increased by 19.74 per cent to N7.21tn in Q1 2018 from N6.02tn in Q4 2017 and an increase of 34.83 per cent from N5.34tn in Q1 2017.
"Exports, at N4.7tn, accounted for 65 per cent of the total trade while imports, at N2.5tn, accounted for 35 per cent. Trade balance (the difference between exports and imports) increased by 22 per cent to N2.2tn in Q1 2018 from N1.8tn in Q4 2017.”

A Nigerian man has shared a rather shocking video showing some men committing suicide after losing bets in China.
The scene of the sad incident
Mokwuelum Ifeanyi, a Nigerian man who lives in Guangzhou, China, has shared videos of two men who committed suicide separately.
According to Ifeanyi, the men killed themselves after allegedly losing all their money which they betted on the world cup match between Germany and Mexico.
While one jumped from a building, the other jumped from a bridge.
What Ifeanyi shared on Facebook
It will be recalled that yesterday, defending champions Germany made a disastrous start to their bid to win back-to-back World Cups with a 0-1 shock defeat by Mexico.
Hirving Lozano’s strike helped Mexico beat , Germany, 1 – 0 in their Group F match at the Luzhniki Stadium on Sunday.
Despite facing some sustained late pressure, Mexico held on to inflict a first World Cup defeat on Germany since they lost to Spain in the 2010 semi-final.
This was also the first time a German side had lost their opening game of this tournament since 1982, when West Germany were upset by Algeria.

A naval officer has shocked people with his unbelievably criminal act after going haywire and stabbing a woman to death.

A naval rating, Yusuf Owolabi, has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly stabbing a woman, Taibat Badru, to death in Egan, a riverine community in the Ojo council area of Lagos.
According to Punch Metro, the naval rating, who was said to be the son of a factional traditional ruler in the community, allegedly stabbed the woman with a knife on a clear Friday afternoon.
The 55-year-old was confirmed died at a general hospital.
Punch Metro reports that the suspect was arrested by policemen attached to the Ilemba Hausa Division on Saturday and was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba.
It was learnt that an aide to the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly had petitioned the state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, who ordered the arrest of the suspect.
A community source said the incident was caused by a tussle for the position of the baale of the village, lost by the suspect’s father, Moshood, to a member of the deceased’s family.
The development reportedly pitched members of the two families against one another.
According to the source, the suspected killer rating, who was recently deployed in Lagos from Port Harcourt, Rivers State, arrived in the village in company with a friend.
The source added that the suspect, who was armed with a knife, got himself drunk before he picked a fight with the son of the deceased woman, named Quadri.
Quadri reportedly invited his mother into the clash and the woman was stabbed to death.
The source said, “The family members of Moshood and his rival always fight one another. There was a time the house of Moshood was set ablaze by the people of the village over this matter.
“But the fight that led to the death of the woman started between the naval man and Quadri, the son of the deceased.
“Quadri ran into their house to inform his mother about the scuffle and as the mother rushed out, the suspect brought out his dagger and stabbed her in the back.
“When efforts to stop the blood gushing out of the woman failed, they rushed her to the Alimosho General Hospital at Igando where she eventually died.”
The Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr. Musbau Rasak, said the woman was his sister.
The Lagos State Police Public Relaions Officer, CSP Chike Oti, confirmed the incident.
He said, “A naval rating with no 815/448, Yusuf Owolabi, aged 24, son of the factional baale of Egan and one other at large, went to Egan community and used a knife to stab one Tohbat Badiru, aged 55 years, in her back. She bled to death on her way to the general hospital. The suspect has been arrested and detained.”
The Day SARS Officers Threatened To Drink My Blood - HR Manager Tells Shocking Story
A HR Manager has told a rather shocking story highlighting the day some operatives of SARS allegedly threatened to drink his blood.
Kamil Mahmud
Kamil Mahmud, a human resources manager, has alleged being threatened by some operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Punch Metro reports.
The 26-year-old claimed that the men threatened to drink his blood for allegedly disrespecting them.
Punch Metro reports that Mahmud had driven behind his brother’s car to the Ikeja area for an interview on a radio station on Thursday.
They were returning on Friday when three policemen allegedly accosted them at the Agidingbi area of Ikeja.
Speaking with our correspondent on Sunday, Mahmud said he was about parking by the roadside when the operatives cocked their guns and threatened to shoot.
He said, “I waved my hand to tell them that I was not running away and I just wanted to find somewhere to park. I was thinking it was going to be a normal civilian-police conversation. But I realised the situation was getting more aggressive even before I got down from the car.
“One of the policemen asked me to come down from the car and told my friends and my brothers, who were driving behind me, to stay back.
“I came down and he said he wanted to search the car. I told him to go ahead. But before he even tried to search, he had started manhandling me.
“I told him that he had not even asked for my name or who owned the car I was driving and what I did for a living.
“He, however, searched me and the car without finding anything incriminating.
“I don’t drive with my shoes on; so, when I got down, I was barefooted. I told the three officers more than five times that I wanted to get my shoes, but they looked at me with no response.
“The moment I tried to get my shoes, the policemen went berserk and started slapping and hitting me. One of them was shouting that he drank blood and he was ready to drink my blood. He pulled my shirt and trousers and threw me into their vehicle, a Sienna, without a number plate.”
According to Mahmud, a passerby who wanted to intervene was threatened with a cutlass.
He added that he had attempted to beg the officers when one of them further beat him with a cutlass.
The Edo State indigene said, “As I sat on the back seat of their car, one of them put handcuffs in my hands. They never told me what I did wrong.
“The one who assaulted me with the cutlass started the car and drove to Ikeja GRA. On getting to the Area F Police Commad, the officers refused to enter the premises and I told them that they should take me inside the station and file a report because I really wanted to know what my offence was. They shouted at me that I still had the mouth to talk.
“The officer driving had a bottle of gin in front of the car; he was drinking and driving. They later negotiated with my brothers and demanded N15,000.
“My brothers went to use the ATM at Conoil Filling Station, but the ATM did not dispense cash. Then one of the policemen got angry and started driving towards Oba Akran Road. When we got there, he parked and waited for my brothers.
“My brothers came and told them that they were able to get N8,000. They collected it, removed the handcuffs from my hand and told me to get out of their car.”
Mahmud demanded the arrest and prosecution of the policemen, adding that he was robbed by the law enforcement agents.
He said the cops wore the F-SARS jackets and had guns with police tags.
The Lagos State Police Public Relation Officer, CSP Chike Oti, said, “They are not SARS officials because SARS officials in Lagos State have uniforms that have code numbers with which they can be identified easily and SARS officials in Lagos State are under the instruction of the Commissioner of Police not to conduct stop and search in Lagos State.
“However, the complainant should come forward to give us vital information about the officers, so that we can arrest whoever the people might be; but I know that they are not SARS officials.”
How Smart Police Officers Foiled Plan To Kidnap Customs Deputy Comptroller And Her Family
Some officers of the Nigeria Police Force have smartly foiled a plan by kidnappers to abduct a customs deputy comptroller and her family.
Suspects
According to a report by Punch Metro, the operatives of the Lagos State Police Command have foiled the alleged plot of a gang to kidnap a customs deputy comptroller and her family.
The state’s police spokesperson, CSP Chike Oti, in a statement on Sunday, said the alleged kidnappers, Yomi Odudare and Olugbenga Ojo, were arrested after detectives attached to the Area D Command, Mushin, Lagos, thwarted their plan.
He said, “Acting on the directive of the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, Edgal Imohimi, the Area D commander assembled a decoy team which played along with a caller who had been making business calls to Yisa Theophilus, the younger brother of the female officer.
“The police team ran a quick check on the caller based on available information and came to the conclusion that he was up to something sinister.
“The team found out that aside from being a notorious criminal in the area, the caller, later discovered to be one Yomi Odudare, was into land business. So, the detectives called him to meet them for a land deal and he agreed.”
Oti said the police arrested Odudare at an agreed meeting point and during a brief interrogation, the suspect confessed that the plan to kidnap the custom’s deputy comptroller and her family was the idea of one Olugbenga Ojo.
Ojo was said to be a former driver of the uncle of the deputy comptroller.
It was learnt that the men planned to kidnap the customs officer after first abducting her brother, Theophilus.
The driver, according to the police, confessed to the plot upon receiving a monitored call from Odudare, who was in police custody at the time.
“Odudare told him (Ojo) on the telephone to let them meet because he had successfully kidnapped the lawyer (Theophilus). He (Ojo) was happy and so he rushed to the venue, straight into the waiting arms of police detectives investigating the case,” the police spokesperson added.
Oti said the CP advised Lagosians to be cautious of involvement in any business dealings with questionable sources.
He said, “It was the agreement of both suspects that in order to avoid the mistakes of the notorious kidnapper, Evans, the moment any of their potential victims sights Ojo, a former employee of the deputy comptroller’s uncle, that person must be killed because the family members knew him.
“The CP Lagos, wishes to use this opportunity to advise Lagosians to be wary of people who call them out for lucrative business deals as it may turn out to be a ploy to kidnap or harm them. He, however, assured that the command would remain proactive in the fight against crime in the state.”

A total of 19 aspirants at the forthcoming national convention of the All Progressives Congress have been disqualified.
APC logo
19 aspirants have been booted out of the race for various offices at the forthcoming national convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC), according to details released by the screening Appeal Committee.
A report by The Nation revealed that the committee, however, said their cases would be reviewed strictly on merit.
It added it has received 16 petitions from party members against disqualification or some of the aspirants the committee screened.
Chairman of the Appeals Subcommittee, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, told newsmen during one of the sittings of the committee yesterday it has not received any petition against any of those aspiring for the offices of the national chairman and national secretary.
He disclosed that the committee hopes to submit its final report to the convention committee tomorrow, adding that aside petitions against some of the aspirants, there was one general petition demanding for justice.
The Imo State governor added, the petitioner wanted to know if members of the National Working Committee can be judged in their own cases having presided over the various congresses.
According to him: “We have started receiving petitions and appeals. Right now, we have seven aspirants here.
“We have resolved to give everyone a fair hearing so that justice, equity and fairness will prevail so that we prevent crisis in the party.
“We are carefully selected Nigerians from all works of life from different states that constitute membership of this committee.
“We have two days to do this job and we will be submitting our report by Monday barring any other reason. We are here to work all day and all night and take our decision.
“The screening appeal is the final appeal in this case. After this appeal committee, the next appeal will be after election appeal which will come after the convention.”
He added: “We are unmindful of the fact the convention committee will need time to start printing of ballot papers for the convention and so, we will ensure that we complete this job on time.
“So far, we have about 18 petitions before us and we have 19 persons that did not make it at the screening level.
“These are the things we are looking to see the merit or otherwise of their claims. We are going to use the screening committee report as a major guide to what we are doing.
“As soon as we are through with this, we are going to make it known to the public those who have succeeded at the appeals committee level.”
On those who were petitioned against, he said: “Of course we have petitions against all other positions except that of the national chairman and national secretary.”
On whether the committee has powers to disqualify those already screened and qualified, he said: “Yes, if you don’t make the appeal screening, you are disqualified because there is no other appeal after this.
“If the appeals committee upholds the position of the screening on the 19 persons, it means they have been disqualified from contesting the election.
“If there is anybody who has been screened and there is a petition against him, we have powers to uphold his qualification or disqualify him based on the merits of the petition.”
Powerful Ibadan Prophet Reveals What Will Happen To Buhari And The APC In 2019
Popular Prophet Wale Olagunju who is resident in Ibadan, Oyo State believes Buhari and the ruling party is in for a shocker.
Prophet Wale Olagunju
Prophet Wale Olagunju, the presiding Bishop, Divine Seed of God Chapel Ministries has spoken on the state of the nation saying 'It is not in the mind set of God for Buhari to rule beyond May 2019'.
In a recent interview with City People, the man of God said, 'let me give you my own Biblical view, whenever there is injustice there will be no peace. Forget about those Bishops who are saying it shall be well with Nigeria. I am a die-hard supporter of Buhari in those days. One, to me his war against corruption is too selective. Buhari should know that corruption is a sin against God and mankind, so war against it should be total'.
According to him, 'I expect him to restructure Nigeria to balance the equation, He should conduct transparent censors to address the injustice that is going on in this country, create job opportunity for the youths who are roaming the street and address the problem of tribalism in the nation, correct the lopsided appointment that is going on in the Armed Forces; Custom; Immigration; Nigerian Police; Federal Ministries! Parastatals. It is not in the mind set of God for Buhari to rule beyond May 29,2019. Look at the just concluded bye-election in Oyo State, yes, PDP floored APC hands down. This is just the beginning of what awaits Buhari and his APC come 2019; as earlier predicted by me in my prophesy of 2017 and 2018'.
He added that, 'let me be frank and declare before God of Heaven and the whole heart, even if Buhari should red-carpet the whole nation, Buhari and his APC would not win the 2019 presidential election. In my 2017 prophesy, the Lord told me He would raise adversaries against him and even his own kinsmen, the Hausas would disown him. What are we witnessing now?
The Lord gave me the signs through my prophesy; there is no way he can win. Some Nigerians in their own thinking has said that Buhari is a man of Integrity .. Where lies the integrity in the life of Buhari when he chose his own people the Fulanis to manage the security affairs of this nation, shedding innocent blood on daily basis, marginalizing the Christians and the Ibos has no say in the affairs of Nigerian nation. Why?
To me the thinking of those who are supporting Buhari today is upside down. Under Buhari, the government doesn’t value integrity and value system is no more'.

U.I Rusticates Final Year Law Student Over Article On Poor Hostel Facilities
Kunle Adebajo will be spending at least one year in his father's house after a critical article he wrote about the premier university backfired.
Kunle Adebajo
The management of the University of Ibadan has suspended Kunle Adebajo, a 500 level student of the faculty of law, for two semesters.
Adebajo, who was supposed to proceed to Law School, was suspended over his 2016 article, UI: The irony of fashionable rooftops and awful interiors, published by The Guardian.
He drew attention to the deplorable state of the facilities at the Nigerian premier university. Piqued by the article, the university, two days after the publication, asked Mr Adebajo to face a disciplinary committee.
In the following months, the student continued to face disciplinary charges which he defended before he was eventually told he had been rusticated for two semesters at the end of May.
But it was on Friday that the rustication of Mr Adebajo became public, with his colleagues within and outside UI accusing the university authorities of being anti-free speech and oppressive.
World Cup: These Woeful Eagles And A Mystic Pig
Reactions have trailed the embarrassing fall of the Super Eagles yesterday at their first match at the ongoing World Cup in Russia.
File Photo
The first tragedy of the Eagles' performance tonight was the revelation that many Nigerians truly believed that in the absence of quality preparation and good organization, the predictions of the so-called 'Marcus the mystic pig' would spur the team to victory.
For those who have followed the sub-par performances of Nigeria's sports teams over the past few years, this timid and uninspiring show against a lackluster Croatian side didn't come as a surprise, it is consistent with the trend.
There is apparently a correlation between the Mediocre performance of the country's leadership and the performance of her sports teams; the one rises or falls with the other. And they both seem to be on a consistent decline.
These Eagles, much like the country's leadership, were feckless, lacked imagination and creativity, and had very little ambition. The surprise was not their horrible performance, the surprise was that we expected them to perform, to give in essence, what they do not have. This is a clear case of harmful illusion, the natural consequence of reliance by humans on predictions by pigs!
It is the same illusion that has many of our people still expecting Buhari's APC or Jonathan's PDP to fix our country, and give her the sort of ambitious and creative leadership required to harness her potentials and unleash the limitless imagination and creative force of her proud people; the kind of leadership of which the Buharis, Jonathans, and their co-travellers are simply incapable.
Also, this illusion seems to have blinded us to our collective low self-esteem borne out by the fact that more than half a century since our first participation in international football, we still rely on the questionable expertise of a string of under-achieving Europeans - fraudulently tagged 'expatriates' - who turn in mediocre performances after pocketing very high wages from our lean national purse.
This illusion speaks to our national vanity, and led us to the ridiculous celebration of sports kits made by a foreign company rather than question why in 2018 we cannot kit our teams domestically. This is besides the curious stupidity of celebrating our team's fashionable kits in a tournament where laurels are won by performance not fashion.
While it is almost certain - especially to those of us not caught in this collective illusion - that these Eagles will deservedly end up a flop in Russia, there is the consolation that this team is a poor representation of our actual abilities in this and other sports; and the sooner we fix our leadership question, the sooner a competent and gallant set of Eagles managed by one of our own, will emerge and conquer the world.
Until then, we might remain steeped in our collective illusion, celebrate mediocrity in the name of patriotism, and ultimately rely on the vacuous predictions of 'Marcus the mystic pig' or, perhaps next time it will be 'Marcello the prophetic rat'!
