Arresting Jonathan Will Throw Nigeria Into Confusion - Buhari Warned


 The Christian Association of Nigeria(CAN) Northern Chapter, has released a statement asking President Buhari to shelve any plans of arresting former President Goodluck Jonathan as he continues in his fight against corruption. In a statement signed by the association's Publicity Secretary, Rev. Joseph Hayab, the christian body stated that such moves by the Buhari-led government will throw Nigeria into confusion;

“Let me warn that such a misadventure will set a wrong precedent and only open door for mischief people to set this nation into confusion.

 What Nigerians need urgently is availability of fuel, electricity, prompt salary, security of lives and property, among other issues that are begging for urgent answers. If the purported plan to arrest him is to please the international community and prove to them that we are fighting corruption, then let us know that this same international community are busy celebrating him as hero of democracy and even those who seriously wanted him to go for a change to happen are now singing a new song about him. Former President, Jonathan is deservedly seen in Nigeria and beyond as a hero of democracy because of his actions before, during and after the 2015 elections. As such, it will be an ill advice for the Buhari administration to initiate the arrest of such a statesman at this time and with the current realities. 

 Our government must know that there are individuals serving today that are also been accused of corruption but since there are claims that nothing has been established against them, they are walking and speaking like saints. While ignoring all these, Government now wants to arrest a man of peace like Jonathan? CAN Northern States wishes to advice that such an action, if actualized, has the capacity to lead to serious confusion that will affect Nigeria economically and otherwise. We believe Former President Jonathan deserves praise and should receive gratitude from those in power today not scorn. Let it not be that this purported planned arrest is meant to distract Nigerians from speaking or complaining about the reality of what and how they are feeling since the past eleven months, we are afraid that such an action may spark a chain of reactions. If our President wants to arrest anything for now then he should arrest the incessant spate of herdsmen attacks in Nigeria which has led to the deaths of almost a thousand of innocent Nigerians under his watch. He should arrest the dangerous slide in the power sector.he should arrest the slide in the economy. We believe at this time and with the current realities that our former president most not be denigrate but honour, because honour must be given to whom it is due.”

Former Lawmaker Sentenced to 154 Years in Prison For Fraud



 The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) on Monday April 25, secured the conviction of a former member of the Kogi State House of Assembly and former Caretaker Chairman, Ogori/Magongo Local Government Area of the state, Gabriel Daudu, for a N1.4 billion fraud.

Daudu who was first arraigned in April 2010, was prosecuted by the EFCC on a 208 count charge bordering on money laundering and misappropriation of public funds.

Justice Inyang Ekwo, who presided over the case at a Federal High Court in Lokoja, Kogi State, found him guilty of 77 counts and sentenced him to 154 years imprisonment.

In his ruling, the trial judge, held that the prosecution proved its case beyond every reasonable doubt, and therefore sentenced Daudu to two years on each of the 77 counts to run concurrently.

Before the conviction of Daudu, prosecuting counsel, Wahab Shittu, tendered various exhibits before the court and fielded 13 witnesses to prove the case against him.

Tragic : Missing Nigerian Coventry University Student Found Dead(Photo)


 Nigerian student, Ozievo Akerele, 24, disappeared without a trace on January 31st 2015 after a night out with friends. He was a Masters student of Coventry University.

 His body has finally been found. Two young boys playing football found his body in a disused Coventry churchyard on Thursday April 21st. His family has been informed of the discovery.


From www.coventrytelegraph.net
The shocking discovery happened after the boys kicked a football in to the churchyard, off Albert Fearns Garden, in Foleshill, and climbed over a fence to retrieve it.
The mother of one of the boys, who wished not to be named, said: “My son and his friend were playing football and the ball went over the fence in to the churchyard.

“His friend jumped over the fence and saw something, so he shouted my lad who also went over the fence and saw it also.

“They went to get the other boy’s mother who wasn’t sure what it was and thought it may have been a Halloween outfit or something like that.

“They got another adult who said it was definitely a body and the police were called.
“My boy was really upset and both boys have been really quiet.

“The police were really lovely with both of them and I tried to explain to my lad that hopefully the person’s family can now have some closure.”
West Midlands Police say that Ozi’s family have been informed and are being supported by officers.

A post mortem examination carried out on Friday was inconclusive and further tests will be carried out to establish the cause of death, although detectives do not believe it to be suspicious.

It's believed that Ozi took a wrong turn on his walk home after a night out. He was last seen in Old Church Road at 7.50am when he tried to flag down a motorist for help. His last movements were caught on CCTV.
