How I Move Arms From Kaduna To Boko Haram members, Suspect Revealed
Recently, operatives of the Nigerian Police Force arrested a suspect in Kaduna for supplying arms to Boko Haram elements in the Shiroro and Kagara areas of Niger state.
The suspect who gave his name as Abubakar Ali said he is a father of four children, adding that he presently works with the Boko haram sect operating in the Shiroro and Kagara areas of the state.
In a video monitored by The Street Journal, the suspect who spoke in Hausa, said he helps in purchasing weapons from Kaduna for the group and transports them by concealing them inside Okada seats.
He added that he and his gang also engage in kidnapping business where they collect a minimum of N20 million naira as ransom from their victims while those who can not pay are killed.
The suspects noted that on other occasions, they pretend to be cattle rearers to kidnap unsuspecting victims, a tactic he and his gang have been practising for the past five years.
Last month, the governor of Niger State, Abubakar Bello confirmed the presence of Boko Haram terrorists in the state, stating that the insurgents had taken over Kauri and Shiroro councils.
“I am confirming that we have Boko Haram elements in Niger State, around Kauri. They have taken over the territory… They have installed their flag,” Bello said.
Pastor Who Has A Bed In His Office Where he Sleeps With Members Finally Exposed
How Pastor Who Has A Bed In His Office Where he Sleeps With Members Finally Exposed
The wife of a senior pastor of a new generation church has exposed her husband in court.
During a court hearing in Yola Upper Area Court in Adamawa State, the frustrated wife asked the court to dissolve her marriage to her husband, whom she allegedly caught sleeping with female church members.
Mrs Jummai Mala, who also claims to be the breadwinner of the family, alleged in court filings that her husband, Pastor Yakubu Ayuba, had three kids sleeping with female church members in his office.
Jummai also alleged that her husband had a bed in the church office, which he was using to commit adultery.
She claimed to have personally caught him in the act in the office on several occasions.
Jummai, who stated that her husband was behaving so that she could not reasonably be expected to live with and be called his wife, urged the court to dissolve the marriage.
She said her husband was in the habit of chasing women in his church to the extent that some of the women even confronted her on several occasions and threatened to beat her up.
While substantiating her claim that her estranged husband had abdicated his responsibilities as the head of his home, Jummai added that Yakubu was in the habit of beating her whenever she refused to give him money and once broke her head.
Due to her family challenges and frustration, she later decided to build her own house and moved in together with the respondent.
She added that her husband on his own packed out of the house and left her alone with the responsibility of catering for the children, adding that he usually visited the house whenever he needed money or was hungry.

The discovery was made possible by two of the eight gang members arrested in Osun State last week for kidnapping.
Benue Shallow Graves
Recall that the Osun State Police Command had last Saturday announced the arrest of eight members of a gang, who are from Benue State, in the Omo Ijesa area of the state.

The victims were identified as John Nyitamen, Catherine Akiishi, Aondoverb Fidelis as well as wives of two of the suspects.
The suspects were said to have confessed to killing their wives, with Tertse allegedly saying his wife died when a piece of wood he threw at her pierced her neck following a misunderstanding.

“Yes, I can confirm the report, but am still waiting for the details,” Anene told our correspondent on the phone.
Trouble Hits As EFCC Uncovered N70bn Fuel Subsidy Fraud
New chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, said yesterday that the commission has recovered a whopping $153 million from former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison Madueke, who has been staying in Britain since leaving office in 2015.
Beyond the amount recovered from the former oil minister, no fewer than 80 choice property valued at $80 million have also been seized from her and handed over to the federal government.
EFCC Uncovered N70bn Fuel
Bawa, who who disclosed this, also served a notice that he was ready to relinquish his position if anyone brought pressure on him to do what was not legal in the discharge of his duties. But he was quick to add that bringing the former minister to justice was still far from reality, given the fact that she was out of Nigeria’s jurisdiction and the challenges associated with bringing her home to face justice.

The chairman said: “There are several cases surrounding Diezani’s case. I was part of that investigation, and we have done quite a lot. In one of the cases, we recovered $153 million; we have secured the final forfeiture of over 80 property in Nigeria valued at about $80 million. We have done quite a bit on that.
“The other cases as it relates to the $115 million INEC bribery, is also ongoing across the federation. We are looking forward to the time we will, maybe, have her in the country, and, of course, review things and see what will happen going forward. The case has certainly not been abandoned.’’
But responding to a question as to how he would be dealing with powerful government officials in the discharge of his assignment as EFCC chair, Bawa said he would be ready to leave the job if anyone tried to make him to do what was illegal.
“I am not going to pay allegiance to individuals in the government,” he said.
Bawa pointed out that though he was young in age; he had paid the price on the job, having been among the pioneer staff of EFCC and passed through the crucible to reach the top. “I rose through the ranks. The only job I know after graduation is the EFCC, which I joined in 2004. I rose through the ranks from an ordinary team member, to the first EFCC team leader from the regular staff of the EFCC.
“ I became a sectional head, became the zonal head in Ibadan, zonal head in Port Harcourt, and zonal head in Lagos. Lagos is the biggest operational hub of the EFCC with over 600 personnel. Port Harcourt is next to it in terms of complexity and staff strength. I happen to be the first EFCC regular staff to head three different zones before my appointment as the chairman.

“The records are there. And it is a challenge I have taken upon myself to do without fear or favour. That is the truth. If anybody is coming to ask me to do something that is contrary to my conscience or what the EFCC is set out to achieve, I’m going to resign,” Bawa vowed
The Akwa Ibom State Commissioner of Police, Amiengheme Andrew, says the command has lost no fewer than 21 personnel, 9 vehicles, and 11 firearms in the series of attacks allegedly orchestrated by Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in conjunction with Eastern Security Network (ESN).
Andrew disclosed this when governor Udom Emmanuel led members of his executive to the police headquarters to commiserate with them on the deaths of some operatives.
The police boss who expressed delight at the visit described it as a morale booster to the command and assured that the police are determined to bring the perpetrators to justice.
The governor in his remarks expressed grief over the loss of officers of the police force in the wake of attacks on security formations in the state.
He said, “I condole with the command over the loss of men and assets to the recent security skirmishes witnessed in the state. I pray God’s consolation for the families of the policemen who lost their breadwinners.
“In addition to the financial support I have given the deceased families, we will do all within our power to support our men in uniform to end the new wave of criminality in the state.”
ESN Killed 21 Police

Emmanuel said he decided to visit the command to express his heartfelt sympathy following the ugly incidences, stressing that the lives of every police officer is important to him.
He advised the police officers not to be discouraged by the prevailing circumstance, assuring that the state administration is solidly behind them in their determination to bring the new wave of attack under control.
The governor also announced a donation of N60 million to the families of the deceased policemen.
Information reaching us that Unknown Gunmen on Tuesday attacked the Amaekpu Ohafia Local Government Area office of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), setting the building ablaze.
This came some hours after the police formations and Independent National Electoral Commission office in the local government area were attacked and burnt down by unknown gunmen.
There have been constant attacks on security operatives and public infrastructure in the South-East and South-South in the past weeks with many security personnel killed and many police stations destroyed.
Five months ago, on December 13, its LGA office in Aba south was completely burnt down while that of Arochukwu LGA was vandalised in October 2020.

More trouble has emerged for Uduak Frank Akpan, the prime suspect in the abduction and murder of Akwa Ibom job-seeker, Iniubong Umoren as another victim has narrated her ordeal in the hands of Frank.
The lady who spoke on a programme tagged ‘Community Voices’ on Redemption FM, Abak, Akwa Ibom, only agreed to share her experience on condition of anonymity.
“I made a post on a page on Facebook that I needed a job and a girl, Blessing Lazarus messaged me directly, asking if I was computer literate and if I could use MS Word, I said yes. She replied okay and told me there was a vacancy, she said they had a farm, an integrated farm and they needed someone who could handle computers very well. I replied that I could operate a computer, then she said she was going to give me her boss’ number. She said her boss would brief me about the vacancy in the company.
“It’s took 3 days before she got back; she said their farm had birds and (a) fish pond and that they were trying to expand and push it online, and it was the reason why they needed the documentation of everything to be in the system. He asked again if I was sure I could document everything into the system, and I said I have my computer certificate and she said no problem.

“The lady sent me the number of a person she claimed was her boss and instructed me to call him to know the time I would come. She said I should call the person by 4pm, which I did and the person asked me to start coming to the farm by 5pm. But I told him that it was too late, that I was far from where he described. I went there the following day, which was a Saturday. Before leaving the house, I told my friend and gave her the location and the necessary information I got about the location.
“I got there around 5pm; there were no houses around there. It looked believable that those places were farms. Then one small guy came out, I was like ‘is this the boss that they are talking about?’ And I said to myself, well it’s not by age or size. He opened the gate for me.

“We sat on a bench outside, and he started asking me if I could use MS Word, and that I should explain how to use it, which I did. He asked me how much I was expecting to get as salary and I said the girl told me N35,000. I asked why he was asking me or if there was something else attached to the job. He said yes, that they also dealt in drugs and that hospitals bought the drugs.
“He said before I would start the work, they would test those drugs on me. That was when I became scared and said no that what I was there for was vacancy for computer specialist and that if it was not available, I would like to take my leave. He said okay that I should let him call his assistant to ask if there was another provision available. He called one lady on the phone and asked her when she was coming and she replied that she was on her way. She said she was driving.
“That was around 6pm, I told him I needed to go home, that it was getting late. I explained that I was living with my friend and she was the only one that my family knew. I pleaded with him to let me go home and come back the following morning, but he refused. He asked, ‘Don’t you want money?’ That was when I knew that something was going on.

“I was there till 9pm; before I knew it, he held me by my shoulder. I was begging him, then my friend started calling me. He was like, did you tell anybody that you were coming here? I said yes, that I told my friend. He said a girl called him and he showed me the number and I said she was my friend. He said I messed up, that why would I give my friend his number, that they dealt in drugs and if he left me, they might use me to trace them to know the kind of drugs they dealt in. I started begging him, I promised him that I would not tell my friend to trace them.
“I told my friend to calm down that she should not call me again, that I was fine and my friend said okay. By 10pm she was calling again, and he told me to stand up and follow him to the backyard, that he wanted to show me where the drugs were, that he wanted to start testing the drugs on me.

“He brought out two cowries, pointed it to the sky and lightening struck, like a lightening connected to the cowrie. He also brought out two wraps of weed from his pocket, and some water. He said if the weed was too hard on me, he would inject me with the water which would clear the drugs from my system but that if it was fine, he would let me go.
“The guy said if I really wanted to go, I should take the weed. He started forcing it into my mouth. He said I should swallow it and not allow the smoke to come out. So he told me that the two wraps of weed were for me and him, he lit them and gave me one, he also took one and we started smoking.

“I was coughing, and he said I should keep quiet that people worse than him were around; that made me to keep quiet. After taking the drugs, I was no longer scared and I told him that he didn’t know who he was dealing with, that he should let me go, and let it end there. He was just laughing, then he gave me another wrap of weed.

“He told me to pull down my trousers, and my trousers were very tight so I couldn’t pull them down. So he started forcing me. While he was forcing me, I hit my leg on a stone and I shouted. He became scared and was like I should not shout. That was when I knew that there was one duplex around there and someone was inside and he did not want the person to know. Then I started screaming, he now lifted me up and hit my head on the veranda (sic).
“I don’t know how I survived it, then he took me inside the room. That was when I saw the girl who had messaged me on Facebook. I said, ‘Babe, how can you do this to a fellow girl like you?’ She started telling me to comply, that they would not let me go.

“I now found out that he hacked someone’s account and was using it, he assaulted me sexually. Around 12am, they started debating. They held my phone and asked me to reset the password on my phone for him to access my Facebook account. They stripped me naked and took my picture, after which he called one bike man (commercial motorcyclist) that he needed to take his sister home. The man replied him and told him if he wanted a bike, he should go out to the junction. The bike man came, I got dressed and looked normal and he told me to greet my dad and mum at home. They collected my phone and N1, 200 that I had with me, but later gave me N200 for the bike fare.

“I reported the matter to the police but they told me to bring N10,000. I said where would I get the money. Then they said I should not go further with the case.”
However, it was reported that a number of shallow graves had been uncovered in the compound of Mr. Uduak Akpan.
Meanwhile, some youths in the community, enraged by the news, have reportedly stormed the compound, and vandalised the building, using pebbles and burning a security house in the compound.

Also, a petition on change.org was recently created to push Akwa Ibom State Government and the state Ministry of Justice to ensure everyone involved in Umoren’s death were brought to justice.
It also demanded a nationally televised court trial of Uduak Akpan since it has been alleged that Akpan belongs to a syndicate and probably has the backing of influential people.
Lagos Speaker Under EFCC Probe Sighted In Mecca After Lying He Was Sick
The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, who is currently being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over massive financial misappropriation, has run to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, after feigning sickness.
The EFCC had in October 2020, given Obasa back his passport to enable him get medical treatment, only for him to resurface in Mecca, hale and hearty.
Lagos Speaker Under EFCC Probe
SaharaReporters had on October 10, 2020, reported that Obasa was grilled by the EFCC after an emergency sitting of the state House of Assembly.
To avoid answering questions surrounding his corrupt act, Obasa had feigned sickness during interrogation at the EFCC’s office.
“Obasa became weak when confronted with a deluge of his illicit properties and money laundering evidence by the team led by an officer from the southeastern part of the country, contrary to his earlier claims of no links to the properties.
Lagos Speaker Under EFCC Probe
“He became weak after hours of grilling by the vigilant and dogged staff of the EFCC. To escape sleeping at the EFCC office overnight and with the effect of the weight of evidence on his shoulder, Obasa claimed to be sick. He was then taken to the sickbay of the EFCC on the directive of the Zonal Head, for immediate treatment and was subsequently released on bail,” a source had said.
Obasa also pleaded that his passport should be released to him so he could travel abroad for medical treatment.
But it was all a ruse as the Lagos Speaker soon proceeded on Umrah (also called lesser Hajj or lesser pilgrimage) to meet with the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress and former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu in Saudi Arabia.

“EFCC gave him back his passport when he claimed that he was sick and needed to go for treatment overseas, only for him to get Lagos Assembly members to sponsor his lavish trip to Mecca to go and see Tinubu,”
SaharaReporters on October 8, 2020 reported that Obasa, some top Lagos State House of Assembly members and accounting officials of the Assembly had been invited by the EFCC for questioning.
Inside sources confirmed that Obasa bought some of those properties; estate in Ikorodu, besides Lagos State polytechnic campus and an expanse of land in Ifako-Ijaye, among many others in the name of his business fronts.
These fronts earlier invited by the commission had made confessional statements implicating and exposing Obasa’s ownership of the properties.
Some forces at the Chief of Staff’s office of President Muhammadu Buhari stampeded the EFCC to grant Obasa administrative bail.
In May 2020 was discovered how at least 64 bank accounts were discovered to be linked to the Bank Verification Number of the Speaker.

The accounts registered with various names, are being used to siphon public funds in Lagos.
The BVN: 2296663231, reveals that Obasa operates accounts with multiple names in Polaris Bank, Zenith Bank, Access Bank, Ecobank Nigeria, Stanbic IBTC Bank, Guaranty Trust Bank, United Bank for Africa, First City Monument Bank and Wema Bank.
To conceal his identity, the Speaker changed his name and date of birth in some of the accounts.
Aside from using Ajayi Mudashiru Obasa, he also used Obasa Abdulrahman Gbadunola and Gabriel Adedoyin Savage to register some of the bank accounts.

Some of the companies linked to the BVN include Adesav International Ventures, Fabric Splash Ventures, Swifthill international Ventures and Quick Solution International.
Others are Quick solution International Ventures, White Honey Enterprises, Cream on Ice Services, A.B DELCO Nigeria Company, and Fabric Splash Ventures, Skye-Macosh Company, Swifthill International Ventures, Silver Section Global, Davedab Global Ventures and Jose-Macosh Company and De Kingrun.
In a series of reports, SaharaReporters had exposed how Obasa awarded contracts to himself using different companies owned by him and how he got the Assembly to approve N258 million for printing of invitation cards for the inauguration of lawmakers two months after the event held.
