BH Threatens South Africa Over Xenophobic Attacks

In a reaction to the ongoing xenophobic attacks against African migrants in South Africa, the Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram has given a 24 hours ultimatum to Pretoria to stop the massacres or face bombing attacks from them.

This warning was reportedly contained in a brief YouTube video message, Nigerian Watch reports.

The blood thirsty sect threatened to extend its terror activities to South Africa if the killing continued, warning that that if the South African government refuse to contain the situation, it will execute all South Africans living in Nigeria, Chad, Niger and other surrounding countries.

The Boko Haram terrorists group also threatened to attack South African embassies in the aforementioned countries.

Meanwhile, it has not yet been confirmed if indeed the message is genuine or not.

Some concerned Nigerians have, however taken to their twitter handle to condemn the Boko Haram alleged good guy role following the atrocity the sect it self had carried out against innocent citizens.

It is speculated that South Africa’s dwindling economy has made the local people in major cities like Durban and Johannesburg transfer their frustration to fellow Africans, who are migrants residing in their domain.

It was reported that dozens of African migrants have been murdered on the streets in cold blood, although it is not yet clear if Nigerian nationals have also been a victim of the attacks.

However, Nigeria’s minister of state for foreign affairs Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, has said Nigerian nationals are yet to suffer any casualty.

The murderous Boko Haram sect who is attempting to play the role of good guy has killed no fewer than 13,000 people in Nigeria and her neighbouring countries since 2009.

Boko Haram is a Hausa word that means “Western education is a sin,” but it is officially called Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’Awati Wal-Jihad.  the sect has displaced thousands of people due to its fight to establish an Islamic state.

The Islamist movement which is based in the North-Eastern part of Nigeria is also operational in Chad, Niger and northern Cameroon.

The US State Department designated Boko Haram a terrorist organization in November 2013. The Nigerian government is still waging war on the sect with many of its strong hold recaptured by the Nigerian troops.

Six Countries Turn Down Alison-Madueke’s Shelter Request

No fewer than six countries have already refused to grant a place of safety request by the minister of petroleum resources, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke.

 According to Sahara reporters, No fewer than six countries have already refused to grant an asylum request by the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke, the Business Council for Africa (BCA) said in its just-released monthly report, noting that about US$ 1 trillion is the latest estimated figure of the looting of the Nigerian treasury between 1960 and 2005 alone.

The report, dated March 2015, focused extensively on Nigeria’s general elections.  It said the notorious Minister, whose impunity is known to have been closely-protected by President Goodluck Jonathan, will be coming under the microscope for the first time in her Ministerial career.

“Given her reputation, it comes as no surprise to learn that 6 countries have already refused to grant her asylum to live in their countries as she now wishes to leave Nigeria at the earliest possible opportunity,” it said.

BCA recalled President-elect Muhammadu Buhari lamenting that the rest of the world looks at Nigeria as the home of corruption, one where stealing is not corruption but a way of life, and that his administration will pursue all public offices and individuals who are believed to be guilty of corruption.

It observed that despite an earlier promise, it is now understood that Buhari’s anti-corruption fishing net will include Ministers currently serving under President Goodluck Jonathan.  Alison-Madueke’s departure from Nigeria is likely to be followed by several other PDP elders, party members and supporters as well as some former Government officials, as Buhari's anti-corruption drive will be far-reaching.

“It will be very interesting to learn in the coming months exactly how far back in Nigeria's history his administration will go in the pursuance of those who have robbed Nigeria of US$ 1 trillion, which is the latest estimated figure of theft from the Nigerian treasury between the period 1960-2005. Given that President Jonathan's administration is considered the most corrupt of any of its predecessors, that figure is going to be considerably magnified, but whether the new President will wish to pursue former Heads of State is a matter of interest and considerable debate to Nigerian observers. It is this subject that is primarily responsible for Buhari's success in winning the election as well as his campaign promises to eradicate Boko Haram, revive the economy and rebuild Nigeria to make its position as the number one country in Africa.

While BCA agreed that the March/April 2015 were “the most credible elections in Nigeria's history”, it said they could not be called the most incorruptible.

On the contrary, it referred to them as the worst because of the amount of money that the PDP so freely and openly spent on trying to secure the re-election of Mr. Jonathan.

“The stories and reports from throughout the 36 States of the amount of money distributed by the PDP to elders, rulers, church leaders, unions and youth leaders amongst others in an endeavour to favour the voters towards the PDP has backfired badly,” the report said. 

BCA said that if the 2011 elections were considered bad, the 2015 elections will undoubtedly go down as the most corrupt in Nigeria's history, certainly since 1999, as the amount of money being distributed as bribes primarily by the PDP so very openly would readily confirm.

It reported that since November when campaigning began, President Jonathan and General Buhari during their travels made no fewer than 109 promises of what they intend to achieve if given the mandate in the presidential election.

“President Jonathan's campaign continued to hinge on his party's Transformation Agenda and the achievements of his Government in the last 4 years, particularly in the agricultural sector, job creation and the empowerment of women,” the report said.  In that regard, it credited Jonathan as having achieved a great deal during his tenure.

It said it was however Jonathan’s failures - rampant corruption, insecurity, inability to eliminate the Boko Haram insurgency, failure in such sectors as the economy, and power in particular, and the overall feeling that he was ruled rather than led - that have cost him his re-election bid.

The report also stated that in the 2015 elections, up to 250 Nigerians lost their lives, describing that deplorable record as speaking volumes for the control achieved by the Police at the campaign rallies by the two main candidates.

It described the cost of the campaigns of the two main parties as “simply staggering”, noting that by the first week of March, Buhari had spent some N332.58 billion as compared to the expenditure of President Jonathan which amounted to N1.05 trillion.

“This is without taking into account the cost of other expenses for such items as campaign rallies, where the PDP has spent N1.06 billion against Muhammadu Buhari's APC's N595.08 million, and clearly demonstrates the desperate lengths that the PDP have gone to in order to try and secure the re-election of President Jonathan.”

MC Galaxy attacked at Shizzi's studio by Davido and his driver

An incident happened 2 days that a few industry people have called my attention to and want it public so it will not repeat itself. Sekem crooner MC Galaxy was attacked and badly injured on Wednesday night April 15th at producer Shizzi's studio in Lekki. According to a reliable industry source, MC Galaxy, Davido (they have collaborated before) B-Red, Shizzi, Davido's driver, a guy named Lati and other HKN members were at Shizzi's studio working and laughing when suddenly things turned ugly.

According to someone who witnessed the beat down, trouble started after MC Galaxy told B-Red that he (Galaxy) was more popular than him (B-Red). B-Red didn't agree and they went back and forth. Then an HKN Gang member, who is a Ghanaian artist, told MC Galaxy that he was not funny as a comedian. MC Galaxy replied, telling him that he was an unknown artist, and they went back and forth yabbing each other. They said all of a sudden Davido came out from the studio and asked MC Galaxy to leave. Continue...

"David didn't like that Galaxy was yabbing his boys and asked him to leave. Before Galaxy could react, David hit him on the back. Then his driver, Lati, took over, punching Galaxy and then hit him on the head with an Orijin bottle. B-Red didn't touch Galaxy and Shizzi was very upset about what was happening in his studio and tried to stop the fight. Shizzi was really upset that Galaxy was attacked. If you see MC Galaxy's eyes now"

I contacted MC Galaxy to confirm he was attacked and he confirmed it but didn't want to talk much about the incident. 

"Yes, I was attacked by Davido, his driver also broke a bottle on my head. Davido is someone I love and I am surprised he did this. His manager Kamal has called to apologize to me but I would rather not have this in the public." he said

No one will steal under my watch – Buhari

President-Elect, Muhammadu Buhari yesterday assured Nigerians that he would run a transparent and accountable government.
He also vowed that anyone who embezzles public fund under his government would face the music.

Buhari gave this assurance during a town hall meeting in Yola on Wednesday.

According to him, corruption would be fought to a standstill, as well as insecurity and enhancing educational development.

He also attributed most of the social ills ruining the country to dearth of education.

The incoming president observed that for Nigeria to get out of its current situation , the people must persevere in nation building, adding that in the face of the massive decay in the system, tackling Nigeria’s problems would be a daunting task.

He also stated that the country was endowed with human and natural resources, ‘’but unfortunately the resources were mismanaged and squandered, leading to the present situation in the land”.

Buhari, however, noted that with the support, sacrifice and resolve of Nigerians to effect change, the country will be the better for all.

“We will run a transparent government and in doing so I will not favour my family,’’ he said.

The President-Elect thanked Nigerians for casting their votes for his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the last presidential and National Assembly polls.

Gen. Buhari who was accompanied by former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, APC national chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun and Senator Olurinimbe Mamora, had earlier visited the Lamido of Adamawa, Dr Muhammadu Barkindo Aliyu Musdafa.

Court refuses to stop Fayose’s impeachment

Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose and his deputy, Kolapo Olusola, have raced to a Federal High Court in Abuja to stop the 19 All Progressives Congress members of the state House of Assembly from impeaching them.

But they met a brick wall as the judge, Justice Ahmed Mohammed, turned down their request and granted only the prayers contained in their ex parte application relating to the service of the court processes on the defendants.

Fayose and Olusola, in the ex parte application, asked for an interim order stopping   the impeachment notice served on them and the moves to remove them from office.

Rather than granting the prayers for interim injunction, Justice Mohammed ordered the defendants in the suit, including the Speaker of the House, Adewale Omirin, and the Chief Judge of the state, Justice Ayodeji Daramola, to appear in his court on April 16.

They are to show cause why the order of interim injunctions being sought by the plaintiffs   should not be granted.

Apart from Omirin and   Daramola, the other defendants in the suit are the Inspector-General of Police,   Suleiman Abba, and the Independent National Electoral Commission.

The   plaintiffs, apart from Fayose and Olusola, are the House of Assembly and Olugbemi   Dele, who was appointed by seven Peoples Democratic Party lawmakers as their speaker.

Counsel for the plaintiffs,   Ahmed Raji, had in the ex parte application dated April 7 urged the court to set aside the impeachment notice and   restrain the defendants from taking any further steps in that direction.

The lawyer argued that the impeachment notice signed by Omirin amounted to impersonating the “incumbent speaker (Dele).’’

He said, “The kernel of our complaint is that a former speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, in the person of the 1st respondent (Omirin) is trying to impersonate the 1st plaintiff (Dele), who is the current speaker of the parliament.”

Part of the orders sought by the plaintiffs are: “An   injunction restraining the 1st defendant (Dele) and other errant members of the 2nd plaintiff (House of Assembly) from further taking any step or engagining in unlawful activities relating to the impeachment of Ayodele Fayose and Kolapo Olusola as governor and deputy governor of Ekiti State.

“An interim order of injunction restraining the Chief Judge   from taking any step or action in relation to the request of the 1st defendant (Omirin) for the purpose of appointing a panel of seven persons to investigate the purported allegations of gross misconduct against   Fayose and   Olusola.

“An interim order restraining the police from continuing to abet, give cover, protection or lend credence to the activities of the 1st defendant and other errant members of the 2nd plaintiff for self-help in disruption of legislative proceedings in the   House of Assembly.

“An interim order   setting aside the purported notice of impeachment and all the steps taken by the 1st defendant and other errant members of the 2nd plaintiff in relation to the purported issuance and service of the notice of impeachment for the purpose of commencing and concluding impeachment proceedings against   Fayose and Olusola.”

The plaintiffs had urged the court to grant the prayers and make the interim injunctions to subsist pending the determination of their motion on notice for interlocutory injunctions seeking the same set of prayers.

Raji urged the court to grant the prayers “in the interest of justice, public order, peace and safety of the people of the state.”

But the judge   rather than granting the interim injunctions ordered the parties to appear in court to convince him on why the plaintiffs’ prayers   should not be granted.

Justice Mohammed ruled, “The order is hereby made directing the 1st to 4th defendants (Omirin, IG , INEC and Ekiti CJ) to appear before this court on April 16, 2015 and show cause why the interim order sought by the plaintiffs via an ex parte motion dated April 7, 2015 should not be made by this court.”

The court granted leave to serve Omirin and Justice Daramola, who reside in Ekiti State, outside jurisdiction.

It also ordered that Omirin and the   CJ be served through advertisement in a national newspaper.

It also made a separate order that the CJ be served with processes of court through the office of the Chief Registrar of of the Ekiti State High Court.

In their main suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/302/2015, the plaintiffs are seeking nine prayers among which is “an order setting aside the purported notice of impeachment and all steps taken by the 1st defendant (Omirin) with other errant members of the 2nd plaintiff   in relation to the purported issuance and service of the said notice of impeachment for the purpose of commencing and concluding the impeachment proceedings against   Fayose and   Olusola, except and until there is absolute compliance with provisions of section 36(1) and section 188(1), (2), (3) and (4) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).”

The move by the APC lawmakers to sack Fayose and Olusola had led to   mayhem in parts of the state on Monday and Tuesday.

During protests on Tuesday by Fayose supporters, a man, Modupe Olaiya, was shot dead in Efon Alaaye.

Olaiya’s death became a subject of controversy with Fayose accusing the APC lawmakers being culpable in a in a petition he sent to the IG.

“The APC lawmakers were escorted by five fully armed riot policemen, who I later discovered   were brought from MOPOL 20 in Lagos State,” he added.

He listed the mobile policemen as Sgt Oyelakin Zacchaeus (F/No 386073), Cpl Adewuya Clement (F/No 396903), Cpl James Ogunji (F/No 386976), Cpl Ebute Michael (F/No 343469) and Cpl. Ibrahim Zock (F/No 235510).

Fayose   urged Abbah to investigate the role of the policemen in the whole saga.

He said, “To my surprise, instead of the police arresting the lawmakers, they were allowed to return to Osogbo, Osun State where they came from.

“As I write, the entire Efon Alaaye community is tense, with the people expecting justice to prevail on the gruesome murder of Modupe Olaiya.

“It is therefore on this note, and most importantly, the need to restore the confidence of the people in the police that I implore that you use your good offices to order a thorough investigation into the murder.

“It is also important that the involvement of the above listed mobile policemen is ascertained as they were not from Ekiti State and were not deployed to escort the lawmakers to the state by the   state police command.”

Olaiya’s   mother,   Apeke, told journalists in company with her daughter-in-law, Yinka, that one of the lawmakers killed her son.

She said, “It (killing) happened at Fabo, at Efon Junction on the way to Ijebu-Ijesha.

“They said he (lawmaker) was coming with some OPC (Odua Peoples Congress) members from Lagos and they made a detour in Osun State, but they were coming to Ekiti through Ijebu-Ijesha.

“What I learnt was that when the convoy   arrived at Fabo Junction, they opened fire on the protesters   who had mounted a roadblock, claiming that that Efon people were heady and stubborn.

“I was told that my son had hidden behind a car when everyone else had scampered to safety. He was shot in the back while crawling out of danger to the bush.

“The vehicle with which he was being taken to the hospital ran out of fuel on the way, they continued with a motorcycle, which also ran out of fuel at Adagba farm settlement. They eventually got another motorcycle with which they got him to Odufunke Hospital, where the doctor had to call the police to ascertain his identity, having been brought as a gunshot victim.

“While all these were going on, my son had started to foam from the mouth and while they were trying to give him blood, he gave up the ghost. His pregnant wife, Yinka, has two children. I don’t know what to do now. Olaiya is my fourth child and had been the sponsor of the family.”

She spoke at the Government House in Ado Ekiti.

But the APC lawmakers accused the governor of inducing the mother and other family members of the deceased to make the claim.

According to them, Olaiya was felled by soldiers’ bullets at Efon Alaaye.

“We have confirmed that Fayose gave the woman huge sum of money and asked her to start crying, rolling on the floor with persistent mentioning of Hon. Ogundele as the one who shot the boy,” they said in a statement by Omirin’s Special Adviser, Media,   Wole Olujobi.

The statement added, “Modupe Olaiya was actually killed by security agents while thugs armed with guns and other dangerous weapons massed up at the Itawure security checkpoint violently protesting and blocking the route through which the 19 APC lawmakers were coming to Ado Ekiti.

“Residents of Efon Alaaye have confirmed that the incident happened long before the lawmakers arrived at the checkpoint when the thugs became unruly and started shooting at the security agents.

“In the exchange of gunfire, Olaiya was felled and taken to the morgue. His body was later shown to residents by government officials alleging that Ogundele, who was nowhere near the scene, was implicated.

“The lawmakers were not even aware of the incident because they were still far away from the spot when the incident happened. So, it will be mischievous if the lawmakers are linked with the incident.

“Nigerians should recall that the Ekiti State High Court once dismissed Fayose as an incorrigible liar and peddler of mischief. Nigerians should therefore note the deceit involved in this show of shame. Is it the family of the deceased that should visit the governor in his office or the governor that should visit them to sympathise with them  in their house?

“This is another propaganda typical of Fayose’s mischief to get at the opposition. What Fayose is doing is to stoke crisis that will lead to the arrest of Hon. Ogundele so that he will not be around on Saturday for the House of Assembly poll in which the man is seeking re-election.

“This is another stunt from a man who trades and trafficks in lies and mischief as essential instrument of governance.”

We are taking appropriate action on Akiolu – DSS

The Department of State Services has said that it is taking appropriate action over the alleged threat of Ndigbo in Lagos by Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu.

Answering questions at the National Information Centre in Abuja on Wednesday, spokesperson for the secret service, Marylyn Ogar, said the service was handling the matter though she refused to give the details of the action being taken.

Ogar said, “We are taking appropriate action. Yesterday, the service had once again warned all Nigerians not to stoke the embers of discord within the country.

“If the presidential election had come and gone successfully, we wouldn’t want people to begin to whip up sentiments unnecessarily. So we are handling it.”

Meanwhile, Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has directed a committee comprising notable traditional rulers in the state to meet with Oba Akiolu over the monarch’s recent death threat to Ndigbo resident in Lagos State.

Following widespread reactions to the monarch’s warning to Ndigbo in Lagos to either vote the APC governorship candidate in the state, Akinwunmi Ambode, or risk imminent death in the lagoon, Okorocha charged the committee, which will be led by the chairman of the Imo State Council of Traditional Rulers, Eze Samuel Ohiri, with the task of resolving the matter immediately.

The committee is expected to have a one-on-one discussion with Akiolu over the threat and to extract a commitment from him.

The governor, who is also the chairman of the APC Governors’ Forum, noted that it was not enough to accept Akiolu’s denial of threatening Ndigbo without traditional rulers from the South-East meeting with him to discuss the controversy and the way forward in the long existing relationship between the Igbo in Lagos and their host community.

Also, the Imo State Peoples Democratic Party officially reacted to Akiolu’s utterance on Wednesday.

The party described the monarch’s threat to Ndigbo as an empty, malicious and unwarranted threat.

In a statement released by the party, a copy of which was made available to one of our correspondents, the Imo PDP condemned the death threat, saying it was unacceptable.

The party wondered why a monarch would be speaking for a political party.

It urged Ndigbo resident in Lagos and other parts of the country to come out en masse and vote according to their conscience on Saturday.

Nanny absconds with three kids one day after employment

The Orekoya family on Lawanson Road, Surulere, Lagos State says, presently, it has no reason to be happy.

This is because a nanny employed on March 7 by the household disappeared with three children a day after she was employed.

The names of the missing children are Aderomola, (11 months), Adedamola (4 years) and Demola (6 years).

The nanny, Mary Akinloye, a 23-year-old indigene of Ibadan, Oyo State, was said to have been contracted via OLX, an online sales portal.

The children’s mother, Adebisi, toldPUNCH Metro that Akinloye looked older than her age and that her claim that she was an indigene of Oyo State was questionable because of her accent.

She explained that the family had a nanny, who suddenly stopped coming to work after observing her annual leave.

She said the family subsequently put up a post on OLX, seeking the service of a new nanny.

She said, “We had someone who was taking care of the kids before now. But the woman did not show up on Saturday and Sunday and we urgently needed someone to assist because we were going to resume work on Monday. We were disturbed and that was why I posted the information on OLX.

“She (Akinloye) called us and said she was interested. She said she was 23 years. I agreed to employ her in the interim because I really did not like the fact that she was young. She agreed to collect between N10, 000 to N15,000 even though our former nanny collected N25,000.

“I left her at home this morning (Wednesday) around 7.30am. It was around 1pm that my eldest son called me and said she had taken his siblings away. He said she told him they were going out to buy some things. She took the 11 months on her back and held the others by the hand. She has since not returned.”

Adebisi said the nanny was so much in a haste to whisk the children away that she did not allow them to eat.

Her husband, Leke, a businessman, said the nanny gave the family the contacts of her relatives, who they spoke with on the telephone.

The relatives were said to have agreed to meet with the Orekoyas during the week to finalise documentation.

He said, “We spoke with two people she introduced to us as her brother and sister. They confirmed that they were her relatives.

“They gave us a vague description of where they lived in Ikorodu. We agreed to do proper documentation this week.

“It was in less than 24 hours that she went away with the kids.

“She never gave us an idea that she was on an evil mission.

“Her spoken English was fluent. She said she had a National Diploma and just wanted to make some money so she could return to school.”

PUNCH Metro learnt that the purported relatives had since remained unreachable on their telephone lines.

The family was said to have contacted the police from the Itire division, who reportedly told the family to wait for 24 hours.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the abduction, saying the police had started   investigation with a view to rescuing the children.

He said, “The police are making efforts to arrest the suspects and rescue the children.”
