"Without going into details of why I went into an affair with Mr Seun Egbegbe, I am very much aware a lot look up to me as a role model and considering this salient fact, a detour at this point is very necessary.

You all are my strong pillar of support .God bless me and you all.He is the greatest pillar in times of tribulations.. You will always be part of me.

Miss Toyin Aimakhu."

FFK reacts to Sahara Reporters allegation that he bribed Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia to quash his money laundering charges

c
Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani Kayode, has reacted to claims by Sahara Reporters that he bribed Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia to quash the money laundering case against him last year.

Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia was yesterday March 2nd, issued a warning and put on the “Watch-List” for the next four years by the National Judicial Council over allegations of corruption.

"SaharaReporters has however learned that Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia has some other undisclosed strikes against her, including obtaining money from former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode to set him free of the corruption charges against him in a case before her. It would be recalled that last July, Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia discharged and acquitted Fani-Kayode of all the corruption charges against him. In her dismissal of the charges, she described the prosecution’s case as “feeble”, arguing that it had failed to provide “copious evidence” linking Fani-Kayode with money laundering" the online portal wrote

Police returned fire, injuring one of the women, before tracking them to a nearby government building where they had barricaded themselves in.

Residents were evacuated from the area as officers launched an assault on the building, shooting the pair dead after the women ignored calls for them to surrender. Meanwhile, distraught parents made frantic attempts to contact their children after their school was cordoned off during the police operation.

Ben Murray Bruce writes open letter to Nigerian youths

The senator and media mogul wrote an open letter to the youths of Nigeria. Read below..

Youths of Nigeria, I want to communicate with you today. I noticed that there are too many divisions amongst our youths and as a stakeholder in Nigeria and parent of Nigerian children, I believe I ought to intervene.

Youths, do not make the mistakes my generation made. Do not see yourselves through tribal and religious lens. My generation of Nigerians did that and look where it has led us. You must do better.

It is foolish for any youth to fight another youth over APC or PDP. Let me ask you, what is the difference between the APC and the PDP? Half of the members of the APC are former PDP members and vice versa.

Let me ask you youths a question: Do the APC and the PDP fight over you as you fight over them? How many ministers have  they given you? How many ambassadors have they given you? How many heads of parastatals have  they given you? That's right, the answer is ZERO!

So resist the desire of vested interests to control you and use you to fight other youths on social media and in real life.

What youths do not realize is that you are  victims of divide and conquer. You make up 60% of the population yet account for 0% of the federal cabinet!

Your price should be more than a plate of rice and a handshake. Work together not against each other! Come on Nigerian youths, be smart!

If you think after you have  been used to fight each other these vested interests will hand power to you, think again. Their kids who are abroad will do same to your kids!

It is time to end the hate and come together for Nigeria's good. Long after we are gone, you will be around. So learn to get along.

As I have said and I will keep saying, the youths are the leaders of today if only they will resist being used by vested interests.

How old is Trudeau, the Canadian PM. He was 43 when he became PM. You can be much more than a thug or Twitter overlord. You can be like Trudeau's.

My name is Ben Murray Bruce and  I not only want to make commonsense, I also believe in the Nigerian youth.

Ikorodu School Kidnap: Abductors reduce ransom from N100m to N60 for the release of the students

Tofunmi

According to vanguard, the kidnappers, discovered to be militants turned vandals, who stormed Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary in Ikorodu and abducted three Senior Secondary School female students, have reduced the ransom to N20 million for each student.
As at midnight Tuesday, the kidnappers who initially demanded for N100 million for each student, succumbed to passionate pleas by their contact in the school.

Timilehin, is said to be the daughter of Ven. Victor Ayo Olusa, the Executive Secretary of the Lagos Anglican School Management Board.

According to the Nation, the kidnappers got the phone number of one of the girls' fathers and asked for the ransom.

The Police and DSS are still investigating the matter and are trying everything they can to secure the release of the girls.

 

Some parents who spoke on condition of anonymity blamed the management of the school for lack of adequate security.

They said they had advised the school management several times to raise the fence at the School of Science and Technology, but the suggestion was ignored.

On not being into technology:

“Whoever is in the spotlight, people are really quick to judge. I mean, there are a lot of kids coming up who’ve experienced that. It’s just the way the world works, unfortunately. I’ve been doing this for 20 years. I kind of don’t pay attention to it. I have my relationship with God and myself and that’s what matters to me. I really don’t care what most people think.”

$2.1bn arms deal: Badeh releases statement, says he is being persecuted

Embattled former Chief of Defence Staff , Lt Gen Alex Badeh, has denied claims that he was involved in the misappropriation of $2.1 billion arms procurement fund. In a statement he released today March 3rd, Badeh alleged that he is being persecuted. Read the statement after the cut...

It has been widely reported in the news that I am being investigated over the $2.1 Billion Arms deal but that is not true. I was not part of Dasuki gate.The claim that 5 properties were acquired for me from the $2.1billion funds is also false.

I was Chief of Air staff from Oct 2012 to January 2014 and then appointed CDS. During my time serving as the CDS, funds for weapons were directly released to the Chief of Air staff, army staff and naval staff and not to me. I had no control over the funds and yet I am being accused of embezzling weapons funds.‎The office of the CDS had no operational control of the services and had nothing to do with their spending. The EFCC’s claim that I received $800,000 from my Director of Finance and accounts is untrue. I did not receive such money from the erstwhile DFA. If he claims to have given me money, where is the proof? Was it paid into my account? Did I sign for it?

In the case of the properties, if they claim the properties are mine and were obtained illegally through proxies then they should go to the court and get an order of forfeiture rather than trying to insist I am the owner of the properties. It is unfortunate that the media has unwittingly allowed itself to be used by interested parties to become judge jury and executioner in my case. Even when they claimed Billions were found in accounts of wives of some past Air Force officers, none was found with my family yet EFCC keeps generalizing and making it look like my family is involved too. It is rather unfortunate that the nation which I fought so hard within my means to defend against Boko Haram insurgents cannot guarantee my fundamental human rights.

During my time as the CDS, lives of both soldiers and civilians were lost. Territories were lost. We fought to regain our nation’s territorial integrity and the insurgents pushed back.

I LOST MY PERSONAL HOUSE AND HOSPITAL IN DEFENCE OF MY FATHERLAND (A hospital which I built many years ago and was equally used in the treatment of injured soldiers). NOW I AM LOSING MY FREEDOM TO THE SAME FATHERLAND THAT I FOUGHT SO HARD TO DEFEND

During the 2014 Boko haram attack on my village Vimtim, it was widely reported in the media that I sent a helicopter to evacuate my parents and relatives. Which parents? I am an orphan, I lost my father in the 70’s and my mother in 2013. My cousin, who lived next to me, was killed during the 2014 attack on my village. So who exactly did I evacuate? It is unfortunate that I didn’t come out to clarify some of these issues when they were reported in the media.

I was detained by The EFCC for 3 weeks and was not charged to court but was given onerous bail conditions by the Commission which I could not meet. A remand warrant was hastily obtained on the 25th February in Lagos as soon as The EFCC was served with a notice for my bail hearing in court by my lawyers. Why detain me for so long and issue such onerous bail conditions when they aren’t ready to charge me to court?

I reported to the EFCC when I was invited and would report anytime I am needed. All I ask for is to be given a fair hearing with the rule of law strictly adhered to.

It is a media trial and I am being persecuted.
