I sold my daughter because of poverty — 20-year-old mother

Cross River Police Public Relations Officer, ASP John Eluu, who paraded Maria along with the doctor and Matron, said when information got to the police at the Federal Housing Police Station, detectives swung into action and arrested the suspects.

Eluu said investigations were continuing to apprehend the buyer of the girl who is now on the run. 20-year-old school drop out from Odukpani Local Government Area of Cross River State, said yesterday in Calabar that poverty and lack of where to stay after she gave birth made her sell her two weeks old baby girl for N20,000.Maria, who was arrested by the police along five other accomplices, said her boyfriend who got her pregnant, asked her to abort the baby but said a doctor helped her  with free antenatal care and food until she gave birth.

This, she added, prompted her to agree to sell the baby when arrangements were made to sell.

Paraded along with Maria were a 55-year-old medical doctor, Okokon Offiong Okoho, the proprietor of Evangel Clinic,of 2, Atu Street; a 70-year-old matron of Sadatoe Maternity located at Umoh Street and a nurse at the maternity who allegedly made the plans to sell the girl to an Abuja-based lady who is now on the run.

However, plans to sell the two weeks old girl was leaked to the police by a Senior Secondary Two girl of NYSC Demonstration Secondary School, Calabar , Maria Elemi, whose parents Maria was living  with after she delivered the baby.

“When I came back from school on Monday, Maria told me she wanted to take the baby to the parents of the boy who impregnated her since she can no longer cope with taking care of the baby,” she said.

Maria said when they got to Fuller by Inyang Street in Calabar South, they met Mrs Elemi and her daughter in an SUV car, adding that Maria gave the girl to the matron who handed her over to the buyer.

She said:  “The woman gave Maria N20,000 and asked her to pay the nurse at the Evangel Clinic and use the rest for herself.”

The girl said she became suspicious when the driver of the SUV told the woman with the baby that her husband said she should take her to the airport to catch a flight to Abuja .

“I started wondering why they should take the girl to the airport when the boyfriend to Maria and her parents live here in Calabar,” Maria stated.

Ogun bank robbery: Mobile policeman shot dead

About 12 persons, including a pregnant woman, were reportedly  hit by stray  bullets from the rampaging robbers, while several others sustained varying degrees of injury in the ensuing stampede.

The gunmen, suspected to be militants, who attacked some banks in Festac area of Lagos last month, killing a mother of two and two other banks earlier at Ikorodu and Lekki areas of Lagos, were reportedly clad in military camouflage, with black bands tied around their heads.

They were said to have stormed Bank Road, where about nine banks are located,  at about 8 am in two vehicles, a Toyota Sienna and  Camry, announcing their presence with sporadic gunshots which sent residents and passers-by scampering for safety.

They reportedly denoted a dynamite in front of one of the first generation banks as two policemen who attempted to repel the attack were shot.

While one of them, Corporal Kadiri, was said to have died on the spot, while doctors at an undisclosed hospital battled to save the life of the other cop who was shot in the right rib.

The operation

Eyewitnesses said four of the gunmen entered the first generation bank, collected the guns from the policemen that were shot and used the guns to shatter the Automated Teller Machines in the bank’s premises.

The eyewitnesses said the robbers proceeded into the banking hall where they ordered everyone to lie down and demanded for the bank’s manager with the vault’s key. It could not, however, be ascertained if they penetrated the vault.

It was learned that other members of the gang outside the bank positioned themselves strategically to ward off intruders, firing non-stop.

In the process, stray bullets reportedly hit passers-by, including an unidentified  pregnant woman who was clad in black trousers and a multicoloured shirt.

It was like a theatre of war

An eyewitness who gave his name as Musibau Kazeem, recounted: “The whole place was like a theatre of war, they were over 15 in number. They came on motorcycles  and in two cars. They came with explosives,  firing indiscriminately.

“I hid under a vehicle that parked during the shooting. Their mission was to enter all the banks but they only succeeded in entering one. Those who went inside came out with wads of Naira notes which they put inside one of their vehicles.

“One of them, suspected to be the leader, was masked. Immediately he came out of the bank, he signalled his colleagues to leave the scene. By then, the Armoured Personnel Carrier stationed at Agbara was firing some shots. But they were not deterred by the presence of the APC as they fired sporadically at it, aiming at the tyres.

“Before leaving the scene, they blew up one of their operational  vehicles. They used the fire from the vehicle as a shield to leave the place in their other car.  We saw two of them carrying two of their colleagues who were shot inside the car as they were leaving.

“But we noticed that by then, the number of gunmen was limited. They snatched a vehicle from a motorist who was taking his children to school at  Ilase area of Agbara, in which they left the scene.

“But the ones I saw left the scene in the second vehicle which we heard was abandoned half way. They went through the water heading towards Totowu, while those hit by stray bullets were rushed to a private hospital at Agbara by policemen.”

Owner of the vehicle that was snatched (names withheld), who was still in shock, said:  “I was taking my children to school when some guys stopped me at Ilase. They pointed a gun at me and asked me to step out of my car. I had to obey them because they were with a gun. I thought they were soldiers. “

We’ve never seen a thing like this

Another eyewitness, who gave her name simply as Mama Chionye said nobody knew they were armed robbers.

She said: “When they were driving to the scene, we all concluded they were soldiers. They drove recklessly and even hit a tricycle who was on the way. On their way back from the scene, they stopped by Agbara market and started firing, causing traders to run in different directions.

“A woman was even among them.  Four women were hit by stray bullets, we have never seen a thing like this.“

Agbara Estate residents react

Describing the robbery attack as an incident that took the entire residents unaware, residents of Agbara estate issued a statement yesterday, disclosing that the robbery was the first of its kind in the 37 years history of the estate.

The statement read: “At about 7am on November 19, 2015, there was an organised armed robbery on Agbara Estate, the first of its kind in the estate’s 37-year history.

“Agbara Estate is carrying out an immediate review of its security operations and is collaborating with the local authorities and police force to prevent any such incident happening again on the Estate.”

No arrest made —Police

Spokesperson for Ogun State Police Command, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, disclosed that the robbers came in through Badagry-Ilasha road.

He said: “Their intention was to raid all the banks on that road. But we gave them a  hot fight. They were only able to enter one of the banks. Only one policeman, who tried to repel them, was felled by the bullets.

“No arrest has been made for now but some of them escaped with bullet wounds. They launched an  attack on our APC but we were able to force them to flee the scene. They used dynamite to blow up one of their operational vehicles before leaving the scene while we recovered the second one.

“We, hereby, appeal to members of the public, especially  hospital staff and traditional healing homes, to avail us with information on patients with bullets wounds. We are also assuring the people of Agbara in particular and Ogun State in general that more policemen have been deployed to ensure their safety, particularly as we approach the Yuletide.”

Robbers attack woman in Lagos

Meanwhile, a woman who had gone to one of the second generation banks in Festac Town,  Amuwo Odofin area of Lagos was, yesterday, attacked by gunmen who dispossessed her of the undisclosed amount withdrawn from the bank.

The gunmen, who apparently trailed her from the bank located on 23 Road,  pointed a gun at her, threatening to shoot if she made any noise.

Unconfirmed report had it that a policeman who accosted the robbers was shot.

Contacted, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Joe Offor, said it was not a case of bank robbery as earlier claimed. He could, however, not give details but assured that the command was doing all within its powers to checkmate criminals in the state.

10 arrested as okada riders, Police clash in Lagos

Unconfirmed report had it that two policemen were killed by rampaging hoodlums who hijacked the situation. But the Commissioner of Police, Mr Fatai Owoseni, stated that the command did not lose any of its men.

A Police Armoured Personnel Carrier, APC, stationed at Canoe bridge linking Ajao with Ejigbo was also allegedly  burnt by the commercial motorcyclists, said to be protesting seizure of their bikes by officials of  Lagos State Task Force.

Report had it that officials of the task force were out to enforce the restriction of commercial  motorcyclists, popularly known as okada, around the axis.

However, on reaching Ilamose Estate at Oke-Afa, some okada operators reportedly  made  access into  Ajao Estate difficult.

In the process, the officials were said to have impounded some of the motorbikes. However, some motorcyclists around Canoe who sighted them, concluded they were coming for them as well, an assumption that  sparked off a violent protest yesterday.

When Vanguard arrived the scene, shattered  windscreens littered everywhere, as well as charred remains of the police vehicle.

Some heady motorcyclists who resumed work yesterday morning, had their motorbikes seized by members of the task force.  Some armed policemen and soldiers were sighted at the scene, while others were on vehicular patrol.

An eye witness who simply gave his name as Jola, described  Wednesday night’s incident as theatre of was war.

Chairman of tricycle operators in Ajao Estate, Mr  Ambimbola, said: ‘’This is not the first time we are experiencing such an incident. Such has happened before.

“But yesterday’s incident was  a very bad occurrence . We  believe that these people (Fulani men) are struggling to feed themselves but this does not give them the audacity to fight with  policemen or even burn their vehicle.”

Police attack Vanguard’s reporter

Immediately after the interview, while one of Vanguard’s reporters, Lucky Nwanekwu, was taking shots of the scene, a policeman shoved him aside and battered him, asking why he was  taking shots of the scene. All entreaties on the policeman who claimed to be from Area ‘D‘ Mushin Command, failed as two of his colleagues joined in  beating the reporter.

Thereafter,  they seized his mobile phone and whisked him away in their van, to Mushin. They  attempted to throw him inside the cell, boasting that nobody could stop the move. It, however, took the intervention of a senior police officer who reprimanded them, for Nwanekwu who had blood shot eye and marks of violence on his chest and ribs, to be released.

At time of writing this report, he was being treated at Vanguard’s clinic.

However,  an angry CP Owoseni, apologised on the excesses of his men , assuring that the command would look into the matter, with a view to finding out the circumstances that surrounded the attack on the reporter.

Mentally ill people have great potentials, talents – Majek Fashek

Lagos – Popular reggae artist, Majek Fashek, says mental health is very important in the lives of people and a nation and mentally ill people have great potentials and talents.

Fashek spoke at the 46th Annual General Conference and Scientific Meeting of the Association of Psychiatrists in Nigeria (APN) in Lagos on Wednesday.Fashek said, “mental health is not a yardstick to look down upon people.

“There is need to create a system to manage or rehabilitate people who are not mentally balanced and as well create more awareness on mental health challenges and appropriate management.

“Government should look into how to rehabilitate mental health patients as most of them have great potentials and talents’’, Fashek said.

Dr Richard Adebayo, the Acting Medical Director, Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Yaba, said mental health Act was necessary in the country.

Adebayo, added that mental health was integral to the stability of any nation.

“Most of the burning issues confronting us as a nation, such as insecurity, economic crisis, just to mention a few, have grave mental health concerns.

“The health impact is often unquantifiable; and we know there is no health without mental health.

“Unfortunately, we don’t have a workable and realistic policy direction, no mental health Act to guide us and protect the rights of our patients.

“It is critical to deliberate on vital issues that will promote the very change we desire and enlighten our policy makers that mental health is very crucial in our collective drive towards the positive change’’, Adebayo said.

He added that lots of people were well dressed, “but mentally, they are not okay.

“Consequently, to kick-start our security system, economy and general life as a nation, good mental health is very crucial.

“It will also help practitioners to guide their practice, help our people to be rehabilitated and not to be abandoned’’, Adebayo said.

Prof. Joseph Adeyemi, President of APN, said the conference will draw experience from globalisation.

Theme of the conference is: “Mental Health as a Driver for Positive Change.’

According to him, APC government under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari has all it takes to fix the problems of the country.

Okorocha, who stated this yesterday while giving a brief remark at the opening ceremony of the APC governors progressive meeting at the Yankari Game Reserve in

Bauchi, said the aim of the APC governor’s meeting was to address critical issues affecting the ordinary man, pointing out that the nation was going through a very difficult moment.

“This meeting will also avail the governors the opportunity to look at the upcoming election in Kogi and Balyelsa states because we want the wind of change to blow across these states in the next election .

“We will also discuss with APC state leaders and national chairman  of the party on how to the strengthen the APC because this is a party for today and tomorrow,” he said

Devaluation of Naira not an option, says Osinbajo

Osinbajo spoke when he received the Ambassadors of Italy Mr. Fulvio Rustico and the Canadian High Commissioner in Nigeria Mr. Perry John Calderwood in his office at the presidential villa, Abuja.

He also recalled that his principal, president Muhammadu Buhari had at different fora said that a 

further devaluation of the Nigerian currency was not healthy for the Nigerian economy.

He said “I don’t agree on devaluation and it is not that I am doctrinaire about it. In the first place, it is not a solution-we are not exporting significantly. And the way things are, devaluation will not help the local economy.

“What we need to do is to start spending more on the economy and then things will ease up a bit.”

The Vice President disclosed that already other sovereign wealth funds have indicated interest in the fund which would be used to address the nation’s decaying road, rail and power infrastructures.

He said “this is our approach to speeding up the country’s infrastructural development.”

 Osinbajo also restated that the current foreign exchange restriction is a temporary measure to ensure that “we don’t deplete our foreign exchange substantially,” at a time when the prices of oil in the international market is dropping.

He added that the restriction is also to bring some stability to the country’s foreign reserves without which Foreign Direct Investment, FDI, might be affected.

“I am not sure devaluation is the issue, but how to ensure foreign direct investment which is more useful”, he said.

Allaying the fears of investors who already have contracts and loan commitments, the Vice President also gave assurance that the federal government would work with the Central Bank of Nigeria to protect legitimate businesses from being affected by the current foreign exchange restrictions.

The Vice President also called for greater economic ties between Nigeria and the two countries even as he conveyed the appreciation of the federation government to the envoys.

Meanwhile, a delegation of top executives from Citigroup led by Mr. Jim Cowles also paid a courtesy call on the Vice President.

Alleged false declaration of assets: Saraki knows fate at A-Court today

Saraki also deposed another 17-paragraphed affidavit of urgency, wherein he urged the higher court to intervene and protect him from what he described as “a politically motivated witch-hunt”.

Out of the 12-grounds, five of them are basically seeking to invalidate the charge against Saraki.

He is begging the appellate court to suspend the proceeding of the tribunal pending the hearing and determination of his substantive appeal against the Justice Umar-led panel.

The appellate court had on October 8, okayed accelerated hearing on the matter.

Meantime, the federal Government, while urging the appellate court to dismiss the appeal, maintained that it has garnered sufficient evidence to establish that Saraki, as a public officer, acquired several assets beyond his legitimate earnings.

FG, through its lead prosecutor, Mr. Rotimi Jacobs, SAN, equally told the appellate court that five witnesses it lined-up against the Senate President, have all expressed their readiness to appear before the CCT tomorrow to testify and tender exhibits against him.

Among those that FG billed to give oral testimony against Saraki included the erstwhile Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and present governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.

Specifically, El-Rufai is expected to testify that he was the one that sold one of the assets that Saraki bought in Abuja, which the government alleged that he failed to list among the assets he acquired while in office as the governor of Kwara State.

The prosecuting counsel, told the appellate court that Saraki has already been furnished with all the proof of evidence against him, including copies of four separate assets declaration forms that he earlier submitted before the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB.

Therefore, FG, urged the appellate court to dismiss the appeal and order Saraki to go to the CCT and clear his name.

Saraki had through his lawyer, Mr. Daudu, SAN, argued that the CCT erred in law by going ahead with his trial despite that fact that “it was not properly constituted”.

He contended that whereas the constitution provided for a three-man panel to sit over cases brought before the tribunal, he said that only two Justices sat on September 22 when he was docked.

According to him, the composition of the tribunal was in violation of paragraphs 15(1) of the 1999 constitution, as amended.

Daudu maintained that the tribunal was wrong in assuming criminal jurisdiction against the Senate President when it was not listed in the constitution as a superior court of record.

He described the CCT as an “inferior court”, saying it does not in any way, share concurrent jurisdiction with the Federal High Court.

He therefore urged the appeal court to nullify the proceedings of the tribunal against Saraki and also set aside the criminal charges filed against him by the federal government for being illegal and unlawful.

Nevertheless, FG, bent on going ahead with the case, asked the appellate court to dismiss Saraki’s arguments as baseless and grossly lacking in merit.
Jacobs, SAN, argued that the tribunal was properly constituted and empowered to try the accused person.

He urged the court to invoke the Interpretation Act to resolve the issue on whether the two-man panel had indeed formed a quorum as envisaged by the law.

More so, the prosecuting counsel submitted that the tribunal has criminal jurisdiction hence the use of words like “guilty” and “punishment” in the law that established it.The appellate court had earlier adjourned its verdict on the matter indefinitely, a situation that forced the Justice Danladi Umar-led tribunal to defer hearing on the case against Saraki till November 5, to await the outcome of the appeal.

The tribunal took the decision to suspend full-blown hearing on the criminal case after the Justice Moore Adumein panel of the appeal court, on October 21, postponed its judgement without adducing any reason.

A source at the appellate court who spoke to Vanguard on ground of anonymity that day, insisted that the “eleventh-hour deferment of judgment on Saraki’s appeal”, was not unconnected with the just concluded screening of Ministerial nominees that were forwarded to the Senate by the Presidency.

Saraki is in his appeal, challenging the legal propriety of the 13-count charge that was preferred against him by the Federal Ministry of Justice.

He was among other offences, alleged to have owned and operated foreign bank accounts while being a public officer.

However, aside challenging the charge, Saraki also queried the constitutionality of the warrant of arrest that was initially issued against him by Chairman of the CCT, Justice Umar.

Besides, the embattled Senate President, through his team of lawyers led by a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Mr. J.B. Daudu, SAN, wants the higher court to ascertain whether the Justice Umar-led panel subscribed to the appropriate legal procedure when it ordered him to mount the dock and enter his plea to the charge despite preliminary objections against his trial.“We urge your lordships to dismiss this appeal and order the appellate to go before the CCT and face criminal charges against him. We have gathered enough evidence to prove that he made anticipatory assets declaration”, Rotimi added.

Saraki was in the charge before the CCT, marked ABT/01/15 and dated September 11, 2015, alleged to have falsely declared his assets, contrary to the constitutionally requirement.

He was accused of deliberately manipulating the assets declaration form that he filed prior to his assumption of office as the Senate President, by making anticipatory declaration of assets.

The offence was said to have been committed while Saraki held sway as a governor.

He was also accused of breaching section 2 of the CCB and Tribunal Act, an offence punishable under section 23(2) of the Act and paragraph 9 of the said Fifth Schedule of the 1999 Constitution, as amended.

FG alleged that Saraki claimed that he owned and acquired No 15A and 15B Mc Donald, Ikoyi, Lagos, through his company, Carlisle Properties Limited in 2000, when the said property was actually sold by the Implementation Committee of the Federal Government landed properties in 2006 to his companies, Tiny Tee Limited and Vitti Oil Limited for the aggregate sum of N396, 150, 000, 00.

He was alleged to have made false declaration on or about June 3, 2011, by refusing to declare plot 2A Glover Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, which he acquired between 2007 and 2008 through his company from the Central Bank of Nigeria for a total sum of N325, 000, 000, 00.

Similarly, Saraki was said to have refused to declare No1 Tagnus street, Maitama, Abuja, which he claimed to have acquired in November 1996 from one David Baba Akawu.

Some of his alleged offence while in office as governor, which are said to be punishable under section 15(1) and (2) of the CCB and Tribunal Act, Cap C15, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004, were allegedly committed between October 2006 and May 2007.

His actions were classified as a gross violation of the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended.
Saraki has since pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him.

26m bank accounts to be frozen: BVN Deadline

Managing Director, Ecobank Nigeria Plc, Jibril Aku, had said last month that bank customers who fail to meet the October 31 deadline to enroll on the BVN network will have their accounts frozen.

Aku, who spoke at the end of the 324th meeting of the bankers’ committee in Lagos, said there was no going back on the new deadline set by CBN for customers to obtain their BVN.

He said: “There will be no extension of the October 31 deadline. All efforts have been made by the committee, CBN and Nigeria Interbank Settlement System for bank customers to obtain their BVN.

“The customers, who fail to meet the deadline will not be able to operate their accounts until they comply.”Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, had said no extension would be made while non-registered bank customers would be barred from accessing their money or any transaction in their account after tomorrow.

About 26 million bank customers would be affected by the shut-out.

An official of the apex bank told Vanguard yesterday that the registration window would still be opened after tomorrow, but unregistered customers would not be allowed access to their accounts.

The official, who claimed that the exact figures of registered bank customers would not be ready until next week, however lamented that “less than half of total bank customers have been captured as at Monday this week.

“Field reports show that there has been increased surge in the number of registrations per day since last week, but it is clear that we may not exceed 50 percent by the deadline.”

My experience in conducting 2015 polls — Jega

“There are also other associated challenges. For example, meeting the production deadlines in the production of PVCs was seriously affected by power failures, which damaged equipment, which the vendor could not quickly replace.

“The use of the SCR was constrained by the fact that some polling units were located in areas where there was no Internet coverage.”

For the first time after conducting the 2015 elections adjudged to be one of the country’s best, former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commissioner, Professor Attahiru Jega, yesterday, spoke about what the commission went through.

Jega lauded President Muhammadu Buhari over the choice of his successor, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, boasting that he would make Nigerian proud with his leadership at INEC.Jega, who is now teaching Political Science at Bayero University, Kano, spoke at the first University of Abuja Public Lecture Series with the theme Electoral Reforms in Nigeria: Challenges and Prospects.

The former INEC boss said the commission had to contend with unnecessary challenges created by some desperate politicians, who wanted to win election at all cost.

According to Jega, many of the politicians, who he described as ‘militicians’ have a mindset of capturing power through any means, thereby trying to subvert the will of the people.

The former INEC boss said that the commission was able to thwart the antics of the desperate politicians by ensuring effective compliance with the laws and remaining transparent and non-partisan throughout the process.

Jega said: “From my experience, I quite often say that Nigeria has a special breed of politicians (Militicians). They generally tend to believe that political power through elections has to be ‘captured,’ and this has to be done by hook or by crook; and by any means necessary. To them, winning election is, literally, a do-or-die affair.

Minefield

“INEC faced perhaps its greatest challenge in containing the predisposition and reckless mindset of Nigerian politicians. Any wonder then that our political arena increasingly resembled a bloody battlefield, with maiming, killing, burning, and unimaginable destruction of lives and property.

“Navigating the minefield of do-or-die politicians as an impartial electoral umpire required nerves of steel, and we had to quickly muster the requisite thick skin, as well as appropriate containment strategies.

“A series of badly conducted elections could create perpetual political instability and easily reverse the gains of democratization. If adequate care is not taken, badly conducted elections can totally undermine democratization and replace it with authoritarian rule, of the civilian or military varieties.

Slams 2007 elections

“At best, they can install inept and corrupt leadership that can herald, if not institutionalize, bad governance. There are many illustrations or manifestations of this throughout Africa.

“But nowhere is this as amply illustrated as in the Nigerian case, especially between 1999 and 2007.

“The 2007 elections were manifestly the worst in Nigeria’s history, as declared by both domestic and international observers. The EU observer mission, for example, noted that the elections fell ‘short of basic international standards,’ and were characterized by violence and crude use of money to buy votes.

“There was reckless mobilization of ethno-religious cleavages and heightened use of money and thugs to influence results.

“The pre-electoral processes, such as party primaries, were conducted in grossly undemocratic fashion. In many cases, the results were said to have gone to the highest bidder.

“The winner of the presidential election, late President Umaru Yar’Adua, himself admitted on the day of his inauguration that there were serious flaws in the election that brought him to power.
