Diezani Moved $115.01m, Gave Belgore, Sulaiman N450m

                                        

An official of Fidelity Bank Plc, Mr Timothy Olaobaju, on Monday, narrated how a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke, stashed a sum of $115,010,000 in the bank with subsequent instruction to change it into naira and distribute it among individuals in the 36 states of the federation.
Among the beneficiaries, Olaobaju said, were a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Dele Belgore, and a former Minister of National Planning, Prof. Abubakar Sulaiman, who both received N450m.
Olaobaju said this on Monday when he appeared as a prosecution witness before Justice Rilwan Aikawa of the Federal High Court in Lagos where Belgore and Sulaiman are being tried for alleged money laundering involving N450m.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission charged Belgore and Sulaiman with five counts.
Charged along with the SAN and the ex-minister is Diezani, who is said to “still be at large.”
The EFCC had earlier arraigned Belgore and Sulaiman on February 8, 2017, but they were re-arraigned on Monday on an amended charge which included the name of Diezani.
Upon their re-arraignment on Monday, Belgore and Sulaiman pleaded not guilty to the five charges just as they had earlier done.                                                                                             
Trial commenced immediately after the defendants’ plea with the EFCC calling Olaobaju as its first witness.
Led in evidence by the EFCC prosecutor, Mr Rotimi Oyedepo, the witness narrated, “Sometime in April 2014, our MD, Mr Nnamdi Okonkwo, gave a directive that certain companies and individuals would pay into an account with our bank some amounts of money. The purpose of the payment was not disclosed.
“Over the period, thereafter, some amounts were paid into the account. The funds were deposited in dollar. The total sum was $115,010,000.
“On the 27th of March, 2015, there was an instruction from the former Petroleum Resources Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, through our MD, that the fund in the account should be converted to naira and paid to certain individuals of which the list of beneficiaries was sent to our MD and the amount to be paid to them in naira.
“The funds were paid according to Alison-Madueke’s instructions.
“On the list sent to our branch, the names of the defendants (Belgore and Sulaiman) were on that list because the money was paid in about 36 states of the federation.
“The defendants are not customers of our bank.
“The instruction was that the sum of N450m should be paid to Mr Dele Belgore (SAN) and Prof. Abubakar Suleiman.
“They both received the money and they filled the Receipt of Payment as evidence of receipt of the money and acknowledgement of same.”
The witness said Belgore and Sulaiman signed separate Receipts of Payment for the same N450m on March 26, 2015.
The court admitted both Receipts of Payment in evidence and marked them as Exhibits 1 and 1A.
Asked by the prosecutor whether any cheque was issued in favour of Belgore and Sulaiman in respect of the fund, the witness answered in the negative.
Asked whether the N450m was credited into any account, the witness said, “To my knowledge, the N450m was not credited into any account.”
For the cross-examination of the witness, Belgore’s lawyer, Chief Ebun Shofunde (SAN), asked for an adjournment, as he said most of what the witness said on Monday were not in the proof of evidence front-loaded and served on the defence counsel.
Sulaiman’s lawyer, Mr Olatunji Ayanlaja (SAN), aligned himself with Shofunde.
The prosecutor said he would grudgingly concede to an adjournment till Tuesday in view of his respect for the defence counsel.
Justice Aikawa, consequently, adjourned the matter till Tuesday for further proceedings.
In the charges, Sulaiman, a professor of Political Science and International Relations at the University of Abuja, and Belgore, a former governorship aspirant in Kwara State, were accused of conspiring between themselves to commit the offence on March 27, 2015.
The duo were accused of making a cash transaction of N450m on March 27, 2015, without going through any financial institution.
The EFCC claimed that the defendants paid N50m to one Sheriff Shagaya.
The EFCC said the cash sum was above the lawful threshold permitted by the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act.
The EFCC claimed that the defendants “ought to have reasonably known that the N450m formed part of proceeds of an unlawful act.”
Belogore and Sulaiman were accused of violating sections 1(a), 16(d), 15(2)(d) and18(a) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) (Amendment) Act, 2012.
The prosecution said they are liable to be punished under sections 15(3)(4), and 16(2)(b) of the same Act.
Justice Aikawa had earlier granted them bail on self-recognisance.

Nigerian Man Bags 20 Years Jail Term In South Africa

The High Court in Johannesburg has sentenced a man convicted of sexually exploiting a 15-year-old girl and forcing her into prostitution to an effective 20 years in prison.

Two weeks ago Eke Ogochukwu was found guilty of four charges relating to human trafficking. The teenager escaped in August 2015 and received help from a nearby church in Rosettenville. Judge Majake Mabesele says what the accused did was cruel.

“Clearly what happened to her was cruel, inhuman and degrading and was a violation of the right to human dignity, which is enshrined in our Constitution.” Ogochukwu, known to the girl only as Johnny, sexually abused her.


The court heard that he would drug her, force her to perform sexual acts with other men and take the money she made through prostitution. The young girl was given R50 a day for food and a further R100 for every man she was forced to sleep with.

The judge says Ogochukwu took advantage of the teenager as she was homeless after running away from her Vereeniging home in 2015 following a fight with her mother.

NDLEA Arraigns Man For Swallowing 935g of Cocaine

                       
                              
National Drug Law Enforcement Agency on Friday brought one David Achebe before the Federal High Court in Lagos for allegedly trafficking in 935 grammes of cocaine.

The agency said Achebe swallowed the substance and was arrested on December 21, 2016, at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, while attempting to make his way to Hong Kong.

In the charge, the agency said Achebe was arrested by its operatives at the NDLEA Screening Point II, during the outward clearance of Ethiopian Airline.

The accused was arraigned before Justice Oluremi Oguntoyinbo on two counts.

In the charges, the NDLEA said Achebe “without lawful authority exported 935g of cocaine, which you swallowed yourself, in your home.”

The prosecuting counsel for the agency, Mrs. Juliana Iroabuchi, told Justice Oguntoyinbo that the accused acted contrary to Section 11 (b) (d) of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency Act, Cap N30, Law of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 and was liable to being punished under the same law.

Achebe, however, pleaded not guilty when the charges were read to him.

In view of his not guilty plea, the prosecutor, Iroabuchi, urged the judge to fix a date for trial, saying she had about 10 witnesses to call to prove the case.

The defence counsel, Mr. Oke Ojakovo, informed the judge that he had filed a bail application for his client and had served same on the prosecutor.

But the prosecutor told the judge that she wished to oppose the bail application, adding that she needed two days to file her response.

Consequently, Justice Oguntoyinbo adjourned till March 20, 2017, to hear the application for bail and fixed May 3, 2017 for commencement of trial.

SERAP Demands Re-Instatement Of Sacked Whistle-Blower

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has sent an open letter to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, requesting him to facilitate the re-instatement of a worker sacked for reportedly exposing an alleged fraud in the ministry.

It said  Ntia Thompson was sacked through a post on the Directorate of Technical Cooperation in Africa’s notice board for exposing an alleged $229,000 fraud in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The group in its letter dated March 10, 2017 urged  Onyeama to “act swiftly to comply with the whistle-blowing policy of the government of President Muhammadu Buhari, and international standards, which guarantee full protection and restitution for any whistle-blower against harassment, intimidation, victimisation or any form of retaliation.”


SERAP in the letter signed by its Deputy Director, Timothy Adewale, said that by sacking Thompson, the ministry would appear to have concealed information on the alleged fraud, which it insisted the public had a right to know.

“Therefore, should you fail and/or neglect to act as requested within seven days after the receipt and/or publication of this letter, SERAP will be compelled to pursue appropriate legal action against your ministry to challenge the unfair treatment and victimisation of Mr. Thompson,” the group warned.

The letter partly read, “We also urge you to act swiftly to identify those involved in the alleged fraud and hand them over to appropriate anti-corruption agencies for further investigation and prosecution, as well as recover any stolen public funds.

“SERAP is seriously concerned that Mr. Thompson’s unfair treatment by the leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs simply for disclosing alleged fraud in the ministry is a fundamental violation of his right to freedom of expression, and breach of President Buhari’s whistle-blowing policy, which seeks to protect individuals who make access to such allegations possible.”

SERAP said that the allegation of fraud disclosed by Thompson should never be suppressed or withheld as a matter of public interest, transparency and respect for the rule of law.

It argued that protecting whistle-blowers encourages accountability, increases the costs for those who might engage in fraud and corruption, and advances the public’s right to know.

“The alleged fraud involving officials of the DTCA should not be kept hidden from public view, especially given the government’s whistle-blowing policy and the fact that Nigerians are entitled to a right to information of all kinds,” the group stated.
