  • Embattled Kano anti-graft commission boss, Magaji, appeals against CCT ruling

    Embattled Kano anti-graft commission boss, Magaji, appeals against CCT ruling

    Flowerbudnews

    Mr Muhuyi Magaji, the Chairman, Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC), who was suspended by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), on Friday, appealed against the ruling.

    The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the three-member tribunal, headed by Justice Danladi Umar, had, on Thursday in Abuja, ordered Magaji’s suspension following allegations of misconduct preferred against him by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).

    Delivering the ruling, Justice Umar, who dismissed Magaji’s motion, held that the tribunal had the competence and jurisdiction to hear the case.

    He directed Gov. Abba Yusuf of Kano State and the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) to appoint the most appropriate officer to take over as acting chairman of the commission, pending the hearing and determination of the case.

    He held that Magaji cannot continue to discharge the duties and responsibilities of his office while facing trial, to avoid any interference with the case.

    Dissatisfied with the ruling, Magaji, through his counsel, Mr Adeola Adedipe, SAN, approached the Court of Appeal, Abuja.

    In the notice of appeal dated and filed April 5 by Adedipe, the senior lawyer gave five grounds why the appeal should be allowed and the CCT’s ruling be set aside by the appellate court.

    He argued that the CCT erred in law, when it denied his client a right to fair trial, fair hearing and right to be presumed innocent, by making an order directing him to step aside as the chairman of PCACC, thereby determining his guilt, at an interlocutory stage.

    He described the ruling as “a miscarriage of justice.”

    He also argued that the tribunal erred in law, when without the requisite jurisdiction, it granted the reliefs sought by CCB, giving specific orders to Gov. Yusuf and SSG, “knowing fully well that they are not parties to the present charge as constituted; it thereby occasioned a miscarriage of justice.”

    He further said that the tribunal erred in law when it adjudged Magaji as capable of interfering with CCB’s witnesses in PCACC, even though no material evidence was put forward to support such a speculative claim.

    The lawyer argued that the tribunal erred in law when it acted without jurisdiction and denied the embattled PCACC boss of a right to fair trial by making far-reaching findings which were speculative and prejudicial in nature.

    Moreover, Adedipe submitted that CCT erred in law, acted without jurisdiction and denied Magaji a right to fair hearing, when suo motu, it raised and determined issues of purported contradictions his counter affidavit, and further insisted he conceded to the speculative facts in CCB’s further and better affidavit.

    Adedipe, in a motion on notice with charge number: CCT/KN/01/2023 dated and filed on April 5 before the tribunal, also sought an order for stay of execution of the order delivered on April 4 pending the determination of the appeal lodged at the Appeal Court.

    Besides, he also sought an order of injunction restraining the CCB from executing, implementing the orders and decisions made by the tribunal, pending the hearing and determination of the appeal.

    NAN reports that the CCB had, on Nov. 16, 2023, arraigned Magaji before the CCT on a 10-count charge bordering on alleged conflict of interest, false declaration of assets, among others.

    Magaji, however, pleaded not guilty to all the counts and was admitted to bail in the sum of N5 million with two sureties.

    But Magaji had, in a motion filed by Adedipe, challenged the competence of the CCB to prosecute him.

    Adedipe, who gave two prayers, predicated the argument on six grounds.

    The senior lawyer argued that a High Court of Kano State presided over by Justice Farouk Adamu had, on Aug. 28, 2023, restrained the CCB from interfering in the affairs or taking any step in connection with the functions, duties and affairs of his client until the matter is dispensed with.

    He restated that in the Kano matter, CCB was the 2nd defendant and that the court directed parties to maintain status.

    He said the prosecution undermined the order by preferring the instant charge against Magaji.

    He argued that filing the charge against Magaji in the face of Exhibit B presented before the tribunal was a recourse to self help.

    He, then, prayed the panel to strike out all the processes filed by the CCB, including the oral submission, for non-compliance with the mandatory provision of Paragraph 13(2) of the CCT Practice Direction 2017 which gave three days for a party to respond to any process served on them.

    Adedipe stated that the prosecution was served with their motion for more than 30 days before they responded.

    He urged the tribunal to stop the CCB from proceeding with the charge.(NAN)(www.nanews.ng)

  • Kogi poll: SDP had agents across polling units, witness tells tribunal

    Kogi poll: SDP had agents across polling units, witness tells tribunal

     

    Flowerbudnews
    Mr Benjamin Okolo, a witness of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) at the ongoing Kogi State Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja, on Thursday, admitted that the party had agents across the polling units during the Nov. 11, 2023 governorship election.

    Okolo, who is from Dekina Local Government Area (Kogi East), told the three-member panel of justices, led by Justice Ado Birnin-Kudu, during a cross-examination by the defence counsel.

    It would be recalled that the SDP and its governorship candidate, Murtala Ajaka, are challenging the victory of Gov. Usman Ododo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Nov. 11, 2023 election in the state.

    The witness, a former Local Government Chairman of Dekina, tendered an inspection report and also adopted his deposition on oath.

    While being cross-examined, the defence counsel, Chief Kanu Agabi SAN, asked Okolo to tell the tribunal how many polling units were being challenged in the petition, but he said he did not know.

    He was shown the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) manuals, regulation exhibits, BVAS screenshots and other electoral documents, earlier tendered by the petitioners, and he identified them, but admitted that he didn’t “make” any of them.

    He said that he only saw the result sheets and other documents he identified in court during inspection, adding that he did not also make any input to the BVAS devices.

    When asked where he was during the governorship election in the state, he said he was in Kogi East.

    The witness said he was not in Okene, Okehi, Adavi or Lokoja, where the results were being challenged.

    According to him, there was no signature of INEC staff on the inspection report that he tendered.

    The respondents’ counsel pointed out one of the scores of the APC as indicated in the witness statement on oath, which was different from the one in the inspection report, in addition to other discrepancies found between the report and figures said to have been gotten from the BVAS.

    While responding, Okolo said he would not agree that a large portion of the report was not correct in view of the discrepancies found.

    He, however, agreed that some polling units were not stated in the inspection report even though they were stated in the petition.

    This, he said, was because there was no over-voting in those polling units.

    The respondents’ counsel also asked, “Are you aware that INEC staff had come to show the figures in the BVAS to the tribunal, and that the figures in the BVAS contradict what is in your deposition?”

    He responded that he could not confirm that the figures in the BVAS were contradictory to what was in the deposition on oath because he didn’t see the figures in the BVAS.

    It was also observed that the accreditation figures quoted in his witness deposition were at variance with what was contained in the BVAS as presented in earlier sittings.

    The tribunal adjourned until Friday for continuation of hearing.

    While Pius Akubo, SAN, represented the petitioners, Agabi, SAN, appeared for INEC; A.M. Aliu, SAN, represented Gov. Ododo and E.C. Ukala SAN appeared for APC.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)

  • Navy Bursts 9.6M litres capacity illegal refinery in Rivers

    Navy Bursts 9.6M litres capacity illegal refinery in Rivers

     

    Seizes 210MT of crude oil

    By Mkpoikana Udoma

    Port Harcourt (Flowerbudnews) The Nigerian Navy Ship, NNS Pathfinder, has uncovered and dismantled 16 illegal refineries with capacity to refine 9.6million litres of crude oil around Elem-krakama community in Degema Local Government Area of Rivers State.

    The Navy also arrested 14 suspects, including a woman at the illegal refining site, who allegedly attached 14inches pipe to siphoned over 210metric tonnes of crude oil from wellhead 15 within OML18 operated by NNPC Ltd.

    Speaking, NNS Pathfinder Commander, Commodore Desmond Igbo, said the suspects were arrested in the act of crude oil theft and illegally oil refining activities

    Igbo said the recovered crude will be handed over the appropriate authority, while the suspects were immediately handed over to officials of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC for investigation and prosecution.

    He said, “This is Elem-krakama in Degema LGA of Rivers State. Behind me is oil wellhead15 which is one of the NNPCL OML18 operated wellheads. You can see a very big 14-inch hose connected illegally to this wellhead15. And they are transferring crude oil to this big wooden boat also known as Cotonou boat.

    “Each of these boats contains 700 metric tonnes of crude oil, the pipes are connected to the reservoirs through the 4-inch hose from there they will start cooking it.

    The cooking pots also contain about 1.5 million litres of AGO. This is not good for our country and for the economy. They have polluted the environment, they will tap from this oil well head and the excess will spill over and pollute the water body.

    “We have about 16 cooking pots within this illegal refining site and each of them contain about 600 thousand litres, which is quite huge. As you can see where they are tapping it from right from the oil wellhead belonging to NNPC Ltd.

    “It is actually economic sabotage. The cooking pots, we are going to crush them and we have already told the operators of OML18 to clamp down the wellhead permanently, so that they can not come back and engage in it.

    ”We are hoping that they would do that and we will give them the necessary security and safety they would need to do that.

    “The Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, has mandated us and we are not deterred, we will continue and we will ensure that oil theft in Niger Delta become a history. We will continue both day and night. We will not rest on our oars we must stamp it.”

    The NNS Pathfinder boss further urged youths involved in oil theft and illegal refining activities to look for another means of livelihoods, warning that the Navy will not rest on its oars in stamping out all forms of oil theft from the Niger Delta.

    “I have talked with their leaders, paramount chiefs and their community leaders, but it seems they are not relenting and we will not relent too.

    ”We will hand them over to the appropriate prosecuting agencies, we will ensure that justice prevails.

    ”They will not get away with it, we will monitor the court trials and processes in this case.

    “The message is still the same, they should talk to their children to desist from these illegal activities.

    ‘:This is economic sabotage. It is not good for them, their community and the country’s economy. They must desist from it.” (Flowerbudnews)#000

  • Nnamdi Kanu appeals against trial court’s ruling

    Nnamdi Kanu appeals against trial court’s ruling

    Flowerbudnews

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has appealed against the decision of a Federal High Court (FHC), Abuja dismissing his objection to his trial continuation.

    Kanu, in a notice of appeal dated and filed March 28 through his team of lawyers led by Aloy Ejimakor, prayed the Court of Appeal, Abuja to allow the appeal and set aside the trial court’s decision.

    The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the IPOB leader had filed a preliminary objection seeking an order for some conditions to be met by the Federal Government before his trial at FHC could proceed.

    He had alleged that the Department of State Service (DSS) personnel often seized documents of his lawyers during visitation, stopped his lawyers from taking notes, eavesdropped on his consultation with his lawyers on matters pertaining to his defence, among others.

    He alleged that he had not been given adequate time and facilities to defend himself in accordance with Section 36(6)(b) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

    But Justice Binta Nyako of a FHC had, in a ruling on March 19, declined to grant the objection of the detained IPOB leader.

    The judge, who ordered accelerated hearing of the trial, also dismissed his application for bail.

    However, Kanu, in the notice of appeal, listed the Federal Republic of Nigeria as the sole respondent.

    He argued that the trial court erred in law when the court assumed jurisdiction to proceed with the hearing of the criminal trial against him when he was glaringly denied the constitutional right to fair trial.

    He alleged that he was denied adequate facilities to prepare for the defence of the criminal allegations against him and his right to counsel of his own choice, thereby occasioning a grave miscarriage of justice.

    “The denial of the appellant (Kanu) the opportunity to interact and brief his counsel on what line of defences the appellant tends to agitate in the trial court and rely on was adequately brought to the attention of the trial court by motion.

    “The trial court failed and neglected to make necessary orders that would protect the appellant’s aforesaid rights but rather held that the court cannot dictate how the respondent carries out its work,” he said.

    He said the trial court had the power to order the respondent to cease and desist from interfering with his constitutional right.

    Besides, Kanu said the lower court had the power to order an alternative custodial arrangement or non-custodial arrangement for him, where it is impossible for the respondent to comply or where the respondent persists in the act.

    He said: “Denial of the appellant’s right to adequate facilities to prepare defence as enshrined in Section 36 (6) (b) of the 1999 Constitution is a jurisdictional issues in the absence of which the trial court cannot assume or proceed with the jurisdiction over the case unless and until such facilities are accorded to the appellant.”

    Kanu argued that though he had prayed the court to stop the DSS alleged unconstitutional acts of forcibly seizing and photocopying confidential legal documents brought to him by his lawyers meant for his defence of the charges against him, the court declined to grant the plea.

    He said the trial judge erred in law when the court ordered for accelerated hearing despite the consistently refusal of the respondent to afford him the right to adequate facility to prepare for his defence of the charges levelled against him and his right to counsel.

    According to him, the order for accelerated hearing of the case in face of the constitutional breaches of fair hearing/trial rights of the appellant is a credence to the respondent to proceed on the unconstitutional denial of the appellant his right to adequate facilities to prepare for his defence and his right to counsel of his choice.

    “In the present case, where Sections 36 (6) (b) and (c) of the Constitution are violated by the respondent against the appellant, the trial court lacks the jurisdiction to hear and or proceed with the hearing of the case,” he added.

    The IPOB leader, therefore, prayed the appellate court to allow the appeal, vacate the ruling of the lower court for the trial court to decline jurisdiction to proceed with the hearing of the case unless and until he is granted his right to fair hearing under Section 36(6)(6)(b) and (c) of the constitution.

    Alternatively, he urged the Appeal Court for the trial court to order an alternative custodial or non-custodial arrangement free of interference with his said constitutional right to fair hearing.

    He equally sought an order setting aside the order for accelerated hearing of the case in the circumstances of the case where he is not allowed facilities to prepare for the defence of the charges against him and denied his right to counsel. .

    Kanu sought a stay of proceedings pending when the respondent affords him the constitutional safeguards of being afforded adequate facilities to prepare for his defence and his unfettered right to counsel.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)

  • Guzape residents seek FG’s intervention over alleged life-threatening blast of rocks

    Guzape residents seek FG’s intervention over alleged life-threatening blast of rocks

    Flowerbudnews

    Some occupants and property owners in Guzape District of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), on Thursday, sought the Federal Government’s intervention over what they described as “life-threatening blast of rocks in the area.”

    The resident of the district and former Deputy Governor of Kogi, Mr Simon Achuba, made the call while addressing newsmen in Abuja.

    Achuba, who alleged that the blast was being carried out by Gilmor Construction Limited, also called on the Minister of the FCT, Mr Nyesom Wike, to come to their aid.

    He said Nigeria is a member of the International Treaty and Conventions on Explosive and Blast Technique.

    He, therefore, submitted that the construction company, alongside its foreign nationals, ought to have been accustomed themselves to the law.

    Besides, he said the construction company failed to heed caution from the police that it should observe regulatory guidelines for blasting.

    “For about three months, we noticed with tremor incessant blasting of rocks very close to our residential accomodation contrary to statutory regulations governing blasting of rocks either for construction or mining exercise.

    “At any point the blasting is done, the whole residential houses within the vicinity of the blasting site shakes thereby injuring the integrity of these properties and the life of our wives and children staying within these premises,” he said.

    The former deputy governor said though they acknowledged that “the purpose of the blasting is for the construction of road for the development of Guzape District,” he said: “It is only the living that can enjoy amenities.”

    “In view of all these infractions and flagrant disrespect to the rule of law and statutory regulations, we are calling on NESREA, Ministry of Mines and Solid Minerals Development, Federal Ministry of Environment and FCDA to forthwith stop these incessant hazardous blasting which is injurious to our lives and properties.

    “It is only the living that can enjoy amenities. Nigeria is a member of International Treaty and Conventions on explosives and blasting technique.

    “During the last world conference on explosives and blasting in 2022 in Netherlands, emphasis was laid on international best practice, which Gilmor with her foreign nationals should be accustomed with,” Achuba said.

  • Court fixes April 8 for ruling as Binance executive, Gambaryan, challenges charge

    Court fixes April 8 for ruling as Binance executive, Gambaryan, challenges charge

     

    Flowerbudnews

    A Federal High Court, Abuja, on Thursday, fixed April 8 for ruling on an objection raised by Tigran Gambaryan, a Binance Holdings Limited executive, challenging the competence of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)’s charge.

    Gambaryan, through his lawyer, Mark Mordi, SAN, opposed the move to be arraigned before Justice Emeka Nwite, insisting that the EFCC, having not served Binance, listed as 1st defendant in the charge, cannot arraign him.

    The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the anti-graft agency had filed a money laundering charge against Binance, Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla (now at large) as 1st to 3rd defendants respectively.

    Anjarwalla was said to have fled Nigeria after his escape from lawful custody on March 22.

    In the five-count charge dated and filed on March 28 by the anti-graft commission, the trio is being accused of money laundering to the tune of $35,400,000.

    When the matter was called on Thursday for the defendants to take their plea, only Gambaryan was in court.

    The EFCC’s lawyer, Ekele Iheanacho, informed the court that the matter was slated for arraignment and that the defendants had been served for them to take their plea.

    But Mordi disagreed with Iheanacho request.

    He said the reading of the charge was premature because the charge was a joint one.

    The senior lawyer argued that Iheanacho was duty bound to do the needful since Binance, listed as 1st defendant, had not been served.

    He insisted that since it was a joint charge, the company must be duly served before his client could take his plea.

    Responding, Iheanacho disagreed with Mordi, saying since Gambaryan is the representative of Binance in Nigeria, it is the law that he can be served on behalf of the firm.

    According to him, if the company does not show up, a non-guilty plea can be entered for it in accordance with Section 478 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA), 2015.

    “My lord, we can proceed with the trial when he is the representative of the 1st defendant in Nigeria,” he said.

    Mordi, however, argued that Iheanacho conveniently omitted the preceding section to Section 478 cited.

    He argued that by Section 477 of the same Act, Binance had to authorise Gambaryan to represent it before the service of the charge could be said to have been duly served.

    Besides, he said each of the defendants ought to be served separately.

    “Section 478 cannot be read without Section 477. My humble submission is that due process has not been followed my lord,” he said.

    The EFCC counsel argued that despite Mordi’s stand that he was not briefed by the company, his submission suggested that he was holding brief for it.

    He said the anti-graft agency attempted to serve the company through Gambaryan but he refused, saying he was not its representative.

    Iheanacho, who said the proof of evidence attached to the charge confirmed that Gambaryan is Binance representative in Nigeria, urged the court to discountenance Mordi’s argument

    Besides, he argued that refusal of service of court processes also amounted to the service of the documents.

    He said Mordi himself confirmed that though Gambaryan was duly served, he refused the service.

    “Therefore, it is not in the position of the counsel for the 2nd defendant (Gambaryan), who has not announced appearance for the 1st defendant (Binance) to seek to challenge the arraignment on the ground that the 1st defendant has not been served because the 2nd defendant was not briefed by the 1st defendant,” he said.

    Mordi however denied that he admitted true service was effected on Gambaryan.

    He said based on the community reading of Sections 123, 477 and 478 of ACJA , 2015, a mandatory process must occur where a criminal proceedings are triggered.

    He said Gambaryan was neither a Binance director, one of the partners nor company secretary.

    According to him, he does not reside in Nigeria to qualify as an agent within jurusidction.

    But Iheanacho countered his submission, insisting that Gambaryan is the chief agent of Binance in the country.

    He argued that based on the provisions of the law, though the firm had no physical presence in the country, its representative can be served.

    “It is a settled principle of law that the law does not allow or command a party to do an impossibility

    “So a party who has no physical presence in Nigeria must have a physical agent in Nigeria.

    “The good thing about the law is that it allows for substituted service

    “Section 124 provides for a substituted service on an individual and not on a corporation. The learner silk has not studied the section well

    “Therefore, Section 123(b)(IV) has been complied with since the chief agent is in court.

    “So my lord, service on the 1st defendant which he refused to accept is a proper service on the 1st defendant,” he argued.

    He further argued that Mordi cannot be holding brief for Binance having not appeared for it

    “So we urge you to discountenabce all the submissions made by counsel. They lack capacity to do so

    “We urge you to enter a plea of non-guilty for the 1st defendant and proceed a trial in this matter,” he prayed.

    Justice Nwite, who adjourned the matter until April 8 for ruling, ordered Gambaryan to be remanded in EFCC’s custody pending the arraignment.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)

    The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has condemned the recent signing of the Nigerian Students’ Loan Law without the involvement of legitimate NANS leadership.

    The statement was signed on Thursday in Enugu by Comrade Victor Igbudu, National
    Public Relations Officer (PRO) of NANS.

     

    According to the statement, we express our disappointment with the actions of individuals parading in the name of our esteemed association as it is evident that their motives are driven by personal gain rather than the welfare of Nigerian students.

     

    “NANS calls upon President Bola Tinubu to exercise caution and check attempts to manipulate the students’ loan scheme for personal interests.

     

    “We urge President Tinubu to uphold the integrity of NANS and ensure that those entrusted with representing students’ interests are duly appointed and competent,” it said.

     

    The statement noted that NANS demand transparency and accountability in the management of the loan scheme.

     

    It said: “We urge the management of Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) to stay true to their core mandate and ensure that the application process remains automated with little or no human intervention.

     

    “Furthermore, NANS reaffirms its support for Comrade Pedro Chibuzo Obi as the legitimate National President of NANS in line with the transition culture of NANS.

     

    “We further assert that no distractions or attempts to undermine our leadership will deter us from fulfilling our mandate to Nigerian students and to ensure that the interests of Nigerian students are protected and prioritized.”
