The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has declared a former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, wanted for offences relating to economic and financial crimes.

This was contained in a notice posted on the commission’s official Facebook page on Thursday.

The notice read, “The public is hereby notified that Yahaya Adoza Bello (former Governor of Kogi State), whose photograph appears above is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in connection with alleged case of Money Laundering to the tune of N80,246,470,089.88

“Bello, a 48-year-old Ebira man, is a native of Okenne Local Government of Kogi State.

“His last known address is: 9, Benghazi Street, Wuse Zone 4, Abuja.”

The notice asked anybody with useful information about the former governor’s whereabouts to contact any of the commission’s offices across the country.

The anti-graft commission had earlier stated that it would, on Thursday (today), arraign the former governor before a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja.

This was after the EFCC was granted a warrant of arrest by the Federal High Court in Abuja to apprehend the former governor.

The agency’s team of lawyers, led by Kemi Pinheiro, SAN, during the proceedings on Thursday, said that EFCC operatives were prepared to carry out the arrest warrant for the former governor, even if it requires the use of force.

“We have to arraign him in court even if we have to use the military. Immunity is only attached to a person and not the building.

“The law allows to break down walls to arrest an evading defendant. Section 284 says all persons are to obey the service of charge,” Pinheiro stated.

At Bello’s Abuja residence, on Wednesday, a group of armed men, identified as “Special Forces,” along with officers from the Nigeria Police Force, intervened to prevent the EFCC operatives from apprehending him.

PUNCH Online reports that the current governor of Kogi State, Usman Ododo, intervened to prevent the arrest of the former governor of the state by EFCC operatives.

Ododo’s team escorted Bello out of the location in the governor’s vehicle.

Bello and three other suspects, Ali Bello, Dauda Suliman, and Abdulsalam Hudu, will be arraigned before Justice Emeka Nwite.

They face 19 counts related to money laundering to the tune of N80,246,470,088.88.

Operatives of Kwara State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, have arrested a 19-year-old, Jamiu Akande for allegedly raping a 9-year-old girl at Pakata area of Ilorin.

Spokesman of NSCDC in the state, Ayoola Michael, on Thursday, said the Director, Child Unit of the state Ministry of Women Affairs, Alhaja Mariam Yusuf reported the incident at its office in Ilorin on Tuesday.

Michael explained that the ministry took the decision to report the case to NSCDC following a distress call from Babareke House at Ipata Oloje area of Ilorin.

Micheal said, “Without delay, the Command swiftly responded and apprehended the suspect after painstaking efforts by officers of the Command.

He said prior investigation revealed that the suspect frequently visited the victim’s residence under the guise of seeing his friend, thereby gaining access to the victim.

“He lured the victim to an uncompleted building on December 1, 2023, and sexually assaulted her. Subsequently, on April 16th, 2024, he sent her to buy bread for him and then led her to a dilapidated building where he subjected her to additional sexual abuse.

“The victim disclosed that the suspect has been sexually assaulting her since December 2023,” the statement added.

The NSCDC’s spokesman added that the suspect has confessed to the crime and will be charged to a court of competent jurisdiction for prosecution.

Afghanistan’s national disaster authority says the number of flood-related casualties in the past few days has risen as 70 people have been confirmed dead while more than 50 others sustained injuries.

The spokesman for the national disaster authority, Mullah Janan Saeq, revealed this on Wednesday night.

“The death toll from the floods over the past six days has risen to 70 people while another 56 were injured,’’ he said.

Earlier, the official confirmed 33 dead and 27 injured a couple of days ago.

More than 2,500 homes have been destroyed or damaged and more than 2,000 livestock have died over the past week due to rainstorms and flooding.

Major parts of Afghanistan’s 34 provinces have been receiving rains and isolated snowfall since Friday.

The meteorological directorate of the country has predicted more rains over the next four days.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday issued a stern warning to members of the public, stating that it is a criminal offence to obstruct the commission’s officers from carrying out their lawful duties.

The EFCC Establishment Act, Section 38(2)(a)(b), makes it clear that obstructing EFCC officers is punishable by up to five years in prison.

The warning comes in response to a growing trend of individuals and groups under investigation attempting to hinder EFCC operations by hiring thugs to disrupt legal procedures.

Several times, EFCC operatives have had to restrain themselves from reacting to such provocations to prevent any breakdown of law and order.

However, such restraint is now being interpreted as a sign of weakness.

The EFCC’s statement warns that it will not tolerate any attempts by individuals or organisations to obstruct its operations and that any such obstruction will be met with severe punitive measures.

Fourteen suspected members of the Eiye secret cult were on Wednesday remanded by an Ilorin Magistrate court.They were allegedly involved in cult clashes which occurred over the weekend in Ilorin, Kwara State capital.

The state police command arrested 46 suspects allegedly involved in cult related violence which broke out in Ilorin metropolis at the weekend, leading to the death of one person and scores injured.

The police information revealed that the complainants, with injuries sustained on their faces as a result of the attack, reported at the police station that they were attacked for inquiring why the transaction of N6,000 they did at the Point of Sales (POS) with one Ibrahim Rasheed was not successful.

According to police investigation, the suspects assaulted them and in the process, carted away phones valued at N2.3 million, one Rolex wrist watch, N500, 000 cash and vandalized their vehicles.

The police report further alleged that the suspects and others at large are members of Aiye and Eiye secret cults who went on rampage attacking, maiming, killing innocent people and destroying their properties in Ilorin metropolis and environs.

The trial Magistrate, Issa Agbetola, refused the suspects’ bail applications moved by their counsels and ordered that they be kept in Mandala Correctional facility till May 8, 2024.

UN Special Representative to Libya, Abdoulaye Bathily, has urged the leaders of the country to place national interest above personal interest, lamenting the gaps in bridging the former.

According to him, efforts to foster dialogue and address the concerns of Libyan politicians are being met with stubborn resistance, unreasonable expectations and indifference.

Mr Bathily said this while briefing journalists at the UN headquarters in New York on Tuesday after his meeting with the Security Council.

The UN envoy told the Security Council that since the end of 2022, UN-led efforts to resolve Libya’s political crisis had encountered national and regional pushbacks, “revealing an intentional defiance to engage in earnest and a tenacity to perpetually delay elections”.

The, envoy, however, confirmed reports that he had submitted his resignation to the secretary-general.

He told ambassadors earlier that “with a deep sense of disappointment, it is disheartening to witness individuals in positions of power putting their personal interests above the needs of their country.’

He emphasised the necessity for Libyan leaders to prioritise national interests over personal ones, urging them to reach a political settlement through negotiations and compromise.

“We cannot allow the aspirations of 2.8 million registered Libyan voters to be overshadowed by the narrow interests of a few,” he added.

Mr Bathily told ambassadors that five key Libyan stakeholders had not budged from their preconditions to attend the talks and gave their names as Mohamed Takala, President of the High Council of State; Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh, Government of National Unity Prime Minister; and Agila Saleh, Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Others included Gen. Khalifa Haftar, Commander of the LNA; and Mohamed al-Menfi, President of the Presidential Council.

“Despite continuous and extensive engagement with the main institutional actors, their persistent positions are significantly impeding efforts to advance the political process,” Bathily said.

He also noted that the complexities were exacerbated by an “apparent agreement” between al-Menfi, Saleh and Takala, according to a joint statement following a trilateral meeting in March in Cairo, with which the UN was not associated.

“My subsequent discussions with the leaders who participated in the Cairo meeting revealed diverging interpretations of, and lack of, details on its outcome. There is also lack of buy-in among those Libyan leaders who were not part of the meeting,” he said.

On the economic front, Bathily, who also heads the UN Support Mission in Libya, highlighted a worsening economic situation and warnings by the Central Bank of an impending liquidity crisis.

He informed ambassadors of a temporary surcharge on official foreign currency exchange, combined with the declining value of the Libyan dinar and restricted access to foreign currencies, which has fuelled public anger amid growing concerns over rising prices for essential goods and services.

“It is imperative for Libyan authorities to address not only the symptoms but also the root causes of persistent harmful economic and financial practices,” the UN envoy said, calling on the authorities to promptly agree to a national budget and better manage state resources.

Mr Bathily also highlighted a tense security situation in several parts of the country, including major cities like Tripoli and Misrata.

“The presence of armed actors and heavy weaponry in Libya’s capital is of strong concern as it constitutes a significant threat to the safety of the civilian population,” he warned, emphasising that any escalation of tensions in Libya would exacerbate instability not only in Chad, Niger, and Sudan but also across the wider region of the Sahel.

He also voiced concern over the continuing plight of migrants as well as a sharp rise in abductions, disappearances, and arbitrary arrests against a backdrop of entrenched impunity that had undermined fundamental freedoms.

The Police Command in Enugu State has arrested an Enugu resident, one Mmaduabuchi Okonkwo, 24, suspected to be in possession of, and transacting in fake naira notes.

A statement by the command’s spokesman, Daniel Ndukwe, said that operatives serving in Abakaliki Road Police Division, with the support of law-abiding citizens, arrested Okonkwo of Mkpologu, Emene, Enugu, at the Old IMT Bus Stop, Abakaliki Road, Enugu, on April 10.

According to him, the suspect’s arrest is sequel to his alleged possession, and transacting in, counterfeit naira notes.

“A total of ₦40,000 suspected counterfeit one thousand denominated naira notes were recovered from him. A preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect boarded a minibus from New Haven Junction to Old IMT Bus Stop, Enugu, and gave the driver one of the notes.

“The driver, however, scrutinised and observed that the currency was fake and quickly raised the alarm that led to the suspect’s arrest. Upon interrogation, the suspect confessed to have paid ₦25,000 genuine naira notes to his cohort at large for the counterfeited naira notes worth ₦50,000,” he said.

Mr Ndukwe said that he further confessed to have spent ₦10,000 out of the fake notes and the remaining ₦40,000 recovered from him.

He said, “The suspect will be arraigned and prosecuted once investigations are concluded.”

At least eight people, including six children, died, while two are missing following a shipwreck on Monday in Mozambique’s Caia District.

The Radio Mozambique reported the death on Tuesday.

According to the report, the canoe-type boat carried 12 people, most farmers, when it sank into the Zambezi River due to overcrowding.

The administrator of the Caia District, Nobre dos Santos, quoted by Radio Mozambique, said that after the shipwreck alert was given, a search began.

This is the second shipwreck within the month in Mozambique.

A makeshift ferry had capsized near the Island of Mozambique in the northern province of Nampula, where almost 100 people died.

The 11th prosecution witness, Richard Somiari, in the alleged murder trial of Chidinma Ojukwu, said the DNA blood sample found on the accused’s red dress matched that of the victim, Usifo Ataga.

Mr Somiari, a director and consultant for the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre, gave his evidence before the Tafawa Balewa Square Division of the Lagos High Court on Tuesday in Lagos.

Ms Ojukwu, a 300-level Mass Communication student of the University of Lagos, is charged with the murder of Mr Ataga, the CEO of Super TV, alongside her sister, Chioma Egbuchu and one Adedapo Quadri.

At the resumed hearing, the witness was led in evidence by the Lagos deputy director of public prosecutions, Adenike Oluwafemi.

He told the court that he had practised in forensics for 15 years and had conducted over 500 forensic tests.

The forensic analyst told the court that his office received 21 items from their DNA centre staff members on different days. He said the items were received for evidence, including a stained red dress, an army green T-shirt, and a DNA sample from Chidinma Ojukwu.

The DNA expert added that other items received were urine, blood, gastric content and bile, which were retained for a toxicology report.

Mr Somiari said that the goal was to create an evidence triangle to link the suspect to the crime scene and the victim. He said that the DNA on the red dress matched that of the victim, Mr Ataga.

Mr Somiari, however, said that Ms Ojukwu’s DNA did not match that of Babalola Disu and Oluwatomi Dada, the other suspects.

The first defendant’s counsel, Onwuka Egwu, cross-examined the witness.

The witness narrated how the toxicology report’s results were forwarded to the office of the attorney general of Lagos, the police commissioner, and the director of public prosecutions.

He, however, said not all forensic reports went through such a procedure.

When asked if he questioned the report Andrea Nuhu gave, the witness said, “I have already said that I am not a toxicologist. It is a toxicologist that can do such.”

Mr Egwu, however, requested that the video of the crime scene be played, and the court granted it.

While the video was playing, he asked the witness whether the blood samples on the cotton, the wall, the duvet, and the white polo the victim wore had been tested.

The witness answered that the samples were not submitted.

He, however, said that the markers indicated in his report had nothing to do with the video.

He had earlier said that some samples were in storage but not tested.

The second defendant’s counsel, Babatunde Busari, also cross-examined the witness.

Mr Busari asked if any DNA sample was taken from the second defendant, Mr Quadri, and the witness said no.

The counsel also asked the witness if he took part in the toxicology analysis, to which he answered no.

The third defendant’s counsel, C.G. Ugochikwu, said she had no examination for the witness.

After listening, Justice Yetunde Adesanya adjourned the case until May 30 for continuation of trial.

Ms Ojukwu and the two others were arraigned on October 12, 2021, by the Lagos government.

Ms Ojukwu and Mr Quadri are facing the first to eight counts bordering on conspiracy, murder, and stabbing.

Mr Egbuchu, however, is facing the ninth count of stealing an iPhone 7 belonging to Mr Ataga.

Bandits have killed 26 persons in renewed attacks on three communities in Gwer West Local Government Area of Benue State.

The attacks, according to locals, occurred between Saturday and Monday, targeting Mbakunwande, Jaora communities, and the Naka-Adoka Road.

Among the victims were six personnel of the state security outfits, including the Benue State Community Volunteer Guards and Livestock Guards, who were deployed to provide security for a family attending a burial when they were ambushed and killed.

Confirming the incident to newsmen on Tuesday, the chairman of Gwer West LGA, Henry Agba, said: “The attack started on Saturday. Six security operatives of the state, comprising Benue Security Community Volunteer Guards and Livestock Guards, were killed.

“They (operatives) escorted the family of a deceased person to a village called Mbakunwande, where they had gone to bury the loved one, and they ambushed them and killed them.

“On Saturday, at about 11 pm, they attacked a community in Jaroa, and 14 people were killed. Also on Monday, they attacked a community along Naka-Adoka Road where the villagers have so far recovered six dead bodies, and many people were injured and receiving treatment at some clinics within the LGA.”

Agba also revealed that the Benue State Police and the state security adviser, Joseph Har, have been notified of the incidents.

He stated that Har visited one of the attack sites on Monday.

The Federal Government has initiated the disbursement process for the Presidential Conditional Grant scheme.

The scheme, which targets nanobusinesses—enterprises with one or two workers and an annual turnover of less than N3 million aims to provide each beneficiary with N50,000.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Investment declared:

“We are pleased to inform you that the disbursement process for the Presidential Conditional Grant Programme has officially commenced. A number of beneficiaries have already received their grants, marking the beginning of our phased disbursement strategy.”

The ministry further explained: “In collaboration with telecommunications providers, we have successfully resolved the initial delays in sending out shortcodes for NIN verification and application continuation.

“By Friday, 19th April 2024, a significant disbursement will be made to a substantial number of verified applicants. It is essential to understand that disbursements are ongoing, and not all applicants will receive their grants on this initial date.”

The Presidential Conditional Grant Programme was launched last year to alleviate economic hardship following the removal of fuel subsidies in the country.

It is expected to reach one million small businesses across the 774 local government areas and the six council areas in the Federal Capital Territory.

A Minna High Court 4 in Niger State has ordered the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, to pay N5 million to a Minna-based legal practitioner, Mr. Ifeanyichukwu Emmanuel Igwe, as damages.

The presiding Judge, Justice Mohammed Mohammed also awarded N200,000 as the cost of litigation and five percent monthly interest on the Judgment sum.

Igwe had approached the High Court in suit number NSHC/MN/112/2023 through his counsel, Bar Bala Ibrahim Zuru, over the alleged violation of his fundamental human rights in the state.

Respondents in the suit include the Commandant-General of the NSCDC, CG Abubakar Abdullahi Audi; the NSCDC headquarters, the State Commandant of the Corps, Namadi Nura, as well as Mr. Henry Bawa.

Mohammed held that the applicant is entitled to the right to dignity of human persons protected by Section 34 (1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic,1999.

He averred that the actions of the first and second defendants as well as other agents of the third to the fourth defendants who allegedly kicked and beat the petitioner with sticks and fists inside the fourth defendant’s state office, located along David Mark Road, Minna, the state capital, among others were violations to his human rights.

According to him, “It is unlawful, unconstitutional, and amounts to a violation of section 34 (1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 and Articles 4 and 5 of the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights ( Ratification and Enforcement) Act CAP 9 Laws of Federation of Nigeria, 2004″

“The sum of N 5,000,000.00 is awarded as damages jointly and severally, against the respondents and in favor of the applicant as compensation for the violation of his fundamental right”.

Israel’s armed forces chief, Herzi Halevi, has vowed to respond to Iran’s unprecedented attack against the country, even after appeals for restraint poured in from world leaders.

During six months of war between Israel and Iran-backed militant group Hamas in Gaza, Iran’s proxies around the region have stepped up attacks on Israel and its allies, saying they are acting in support of Palestinians in Gaza.

Tensions were already high before Iran launched its first-ever assault on Israeli territory on Saturday, firing hundreds of missiles and drones in retaliation for a deadly April 1 strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus.

The Israeli army has said the vast majority of the weapons were shot down with the help of the United States and other allies and the attack caused only minimal damage.

Western governments, including those that supported Israel in its defense, have warned against an escalation, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with his war cabinet late Monday to discuss next steps, Israeli media reported.

Iran has previously said it would consider the matter “concluded” unless Israel retaliated, and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told his Chinese counterpart in a call on Tuesday that Iran was “willing to exercise restraint” and had no intention of further escalating tensions.

Police in Akwa-Ibom State have arrested one Inyangake James Peter for killing his 70-year-old mother, Mma-Offiong James Peter, in Etim Ekpo Local Government Area of the state.

This is contained in a statement by the command’s Police Public Relations Officer, Odiko Macdon, on Monday.

According to the statement, the suspect, who was arrested by the police on April 4, 2024, at about 9:00 am, said he acted based on a voice which kept prompting him to kill her.

“The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has arrested one Inyangake James Peter, 40 years old for gruesomely murdering his biological mother, one Mma-Offiong James Peter, about 70 years old on 4/4/2024 at about 9:00 am at Ikpe Annang Village in Etim Ekpo LGA.

“The suspect, who confessed to the crime has been transferred to the state CID for discrete investigation.

“The suspect on interrogation alleged that he had a voice saying ‘kill her’, ‘kill her’, and he decided to oblige,” the statement read.

The Nasarawa State Government has proscribed all ethnic vigilante groups operating in the state.

The development followed the emergency security meeting convened by Governor Abdullahi Sule.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by the government, the order equally directed ethnic vigilante groups affected by the order to hand over their uniforms and weapons to the state Commissioner of Police within two weeks.

Sule said he acted on the advice of the state security council and has banned the Fulani ethnic vigilante group known as the Kungiyar Zaman Lafiya, Bassa vigilante group, as well as the Eggon vigilante group.

The statement read, “Similar organisations include any association, movement or group of persons or society in whatever name called or form, with the aim and objectives of providing security amongst particular ethnic groups within Nasarawa State through the use of force or arms etc,” part of the Executive Order No. 1 of 2024 reads.

“Accordingly, the Kungiyar Zaman Lafiya nomad vigilante, Bassa vigilante, Eggon vigilante, and other similar organisations are henceforth proscribed, and declared unlawful societies that are inimical to good governance in the state”.

Heavy security presence was on Tuesday observed at the entrance and premises of the Federal High Court, Osogbo, Osun State, where Olalekan Oyeyemi, an ally of Governor Ademola Adeleke is standing trial for killing and terrorism.

Security operatives were within the premises and outside the court. The suspect is also in court.

Recall that Oyeyemi was dragged before the court on a 10-count charge of killing members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and terrorism by the Inspector General of Police.

He, however, pleaded not guilty and was remanded in Ife correctional facility.

The counsel to Oyeyemi, Edmund Biriomoni, had filed a formal bail application on seven grounds which the prosecution counsel, Francis Osie, opposed based on Sections 162 and 165 of the Administration of Criminal Justice 2015.

The presiding judge, Justice Emmanuel Ayoola, adjourned the ruling on bail to today.

The bail ruling is yet to commence as of the time of filing this report.

The 1 Division, Nigerian Army Inter-Brigade competition commenced in Kano on Monday and participants were drawn from three brigades under the division.

The proficiency competition is for personnel from the ranks of corporal and below.

The participants are drawn from 1Division Garrison, Kaduna; 31Artilary Brigade, Minna, Niger and the host, 3 Brigade, Kano.

They will compete for honours in drills, weapons handling, map reading and obstacle crossings.

According to the General Officer Commanding of the division, Maj.-Gen. Mayirenso Saraso, the aim of the competition is to test the efficiency, endurance and mental capacity of the participants.

Mr Saraso, who declared open the four-day competition, added that the event would test the physical fitness of the soldiers and their readiness to counter security challenges.

The GOC, represented by commander, 3 Brigade, Brig.- Gen. Musa Sadik, said that the event could not have come at a better time than now when there were growing concerns on the numerous security challenges facing the nation.

“The current security challenges have brought to the fore the need to continuously reinvigorate our training and operations, especially physical and leadership training,” he added.

Earlier, the brigade commander said that the competition would provide opportunity for the soldiers to meet their counterparts within the division’s area of responsibility.

He appreciated the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, for providing necessary resources for the competition.

The brigade commander urged the soldiers to compete fairly and be good ambassadors of their brigades.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday arraigned five persons before a Federal High Court in Lagos over an illegal deal in petroleum products.

The defendants, Mt Vinnalaris (a vessel), Azeez Abubakar, Wisdom Borborley, Samuel Akpan and Freedom Otuagoma, appeared before Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke on two counts bordering on unlawful dealings in petroleum products.

They, however, pleaded guilty.

Following their plea, the prosecutor, R.A. Abdurasheed, told the court that the prosecution had filed the plea bargain agreement with the defendants before the court.

Consequently, the court adjourned the case until April 25, for adoption of plea bargain agreement.

The court, however, ordered that the defendants should remain in custody of the prosecution till the said date.

In the charge, the defendants were said to have committed the offense sometime in 2023, while on the Nigerian maritime domain.

They were alleged to have dealt in 515.8 litres of crude oil without lawful authority.

The offense contravenes the provisions of sections 1(17) and 3(6) of the Miscellaneous Offences Act, Cap M17 Law of the Federation 2004.

The coroner inquest sitting in Ogba Magistrate Court investigating the death of Sylvester Junior Oromoni, the 12-year-old student of Dowen College, Lekki, has ascribed his death to negligence on the part of his parents and doctor.

The coroner magistrate, Mikhail Kadiri, stated that Oromoni died as a result of failed treatment for his enlarged liver.

Oromoni died on November 30, 2021, as a result of bullying and an alleged poisonous substance he was forced to drink in the school.

Before his death, he reportedly mentioned that he was beaten by five senior students of Dowen College, whose names were Favour Benjamin, 16, Edward Begue, 16, Ansel Temile, 14, Kenneth Inyang and Michael Kashamu, 16, son of the late Senator Buruji Kashamu.

However, on January 5, 2022, the Lagos State Government exonerated the five students and five employees of Dowen College, Lekki, Lagos, who were accused of the death of Sylvester Oromoni.

Kadiri said: “Based on the foregoing, it is clear that the deceased’s health deteriorated in (doctor) PW 3’s care. PW 3 did not take proper care of the deceased. PW 3 completely abandoned the deceased for a period of more than 32 hours.

“The deceased’s death was an avoidable one but for the negligence of the parents and PW 3, they didn’t take him to the hospital until the day he died on November 30, 2021. The deceased went through avoidable and excruciating pain and was made to suffer needlessly.”
