The Anambra State Government has debunked a viral report which stated that gunmen invaded a Hospital in the State and made away with five (some say four) new born babies.

The report which emerged on Thursday, said that the gunmen invaded St Stanley Hospital Nkpologwu in Isuofia Local Government Area on Tuesday, abducted the new born babies and collected blood-soaked wrappers used in the Labour room.

The news sparked an outrage, and an order from President Muhammadu Buhari for investigation.

But the Anambra State Government, in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information, Paul Nwosu, has debunked the story.

It said no such invasion of any Hospital took place in the State, and so no abduction of babies.

The statement reads:

“There are reports currently flying around the social media by supposedly respectable national media that gunmen attacked a maternity hospital in Anambra State and abducted four (4) new born babies. The report neither stated the name of the hospital nor the identities of the mothers whose babies were abducted.

“The Government of Anambra State wishes to state in very clear terms that the report is NOT TRUE. No such attack took place in Anambra State and no babies were abducted. These are mere fictitions, sponsored through dishonest and unethical reporters to create fear among Ndi Anambra, but they will not succeed as Government has ensured there is enough boots on ground to protect our people this Yuletide. Anybody that dares government resolve to ensure a peaceful season will only have himself to blame.

“Government is urging Ndi Anambra to go about their normal businesses without fear.”

The Body of Benchers, (BOB) said the advice by the Nigerian Bar Association, (NBA) president to its chairman, Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN not to preside over recent call to the bar ceremony was not received until after the event.

BOB also frowned at the way the letter containing the advice was handled by the NBA saying it used social media to disseminate such  sensitive document, which is supposed to be an in-house communication among members of the body.

BOB stated in a statement in Abuja on Friday, that “The Body frowned at the use of the social media platform in forwarding sensitive official documents communication.”

The NBA President, Yakubu Maikyau (SAN) had requested in a letter that the BOB Chairman, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) should not preside over the last Call to Bar ceremonies, during which 4711 new lawyers were admitted into the profession.

It said the letter was not debated at the body’s December 5 meeting meant to finalize arrangements for the Call to Bar ceremonies because it (the letter) was delivered late at the BOB headquarters in Abuja.

It added that members  did not consider the issue, when it was raised by Maikyau because they were not in receipt of the letter and the Chairman, to whom it was directed, was not afforded the opportunity to respond to the letter before the NBA President brought it up.

In the statement issued by BOB’s Secretary, Mr. Daniel Tela, it was stated that apart from the fact that the NBA’s letter was addressed personally to its Chairman, it was not an item on the agenda of the meeting which had been scheduled since November 14.

It added that the letter, had been published on the social media before it was received at the BOB headquarters at exactly 9:32 am  on December 5, the day of the meeting, hence, it was not ripe for discussion.

“It is on record that the media, (print and social media)  had been agog with the reports regarding the call by the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) for the Chairman of the Body of Benchers, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) not to preside over the Call to Bar ceremonies.

“This widely circulated call has saturated the media space from Sunday, 4th December, 2022 till now.

“At the meeting of the Body of Benchers held on Monday 5th December, 2022, which notice was given on 14th November, 2022, the sole item for discussion was the consideration of the report of the screening committee of the Body, preparatory to the Call to Bar ceremonies. The report was duly considered and approved.

“Under the AOB, the President of the Nigerian Bar Association informed members that he had written a letter to the Chairman of the Body to which the Chairman stated that although, he had not read the letter as it was not yet brought to his attention, he was aware of the fact that it had already been circulated in the media, particularly the social media.

“And despite the fact that the letter was personally addressed to him and not to the Body, he was prepared to waive his rights as he would want it discussed one way or the other in view of the contents of the letter which centred  on his personality and integrity.

“The NBA President then stated that he sent the letter to members mails in the evening of Sunday, December 4, 2022 and also made copies of the said letter and brought to the meeting but majority of the members responded that they were yet receive such mails.

“Some members were of the view that the letter was definitely not ripe for consideration, assuming it was meant or addressed to the Body.

“The said letter was received at the Body of Benchers Secretariat at 9:32am on Monday, 5th December, 2022.

“In spite of all the comments and contributions of members, the Chairman still passionately pleaded that the matter be taken, and made reference to a previous letter written in July 2022 on the eve of Call to Bar ceremonies.

“Majority of the members were of the view that the Chairman drop his insistence that the matter be conclusively decided, bearing in mind, several factors including the fact that majority of the members did not receive the email.

“Also, coupled with the fact that the Call to Bar subject was too important and central to the Body and the content of the letter was not such that could be taken under the AOB.

“Furthermore, the letter was addressed to the Chairman, Body of Benchers, therefore, there is the need for the Chairman’s response to be received for proper consideration.

“It was therefore, resolved that the matter be taken at the emergency meeting of the Body scheduled to take place in January 2023 at a date to be communicated to members.”

Polaris Bank Loses N15bn Case Against Intercontinental Hotel

Polaris Bank and the Asset Management Company of Nigeria, AMCON, lacked the powers to sell Intercontinental Hotel, the Court of Appeal in Lagos has ruled.
The appellate court has also ordered the the return of the hotel to the original owner, the Milan Industry Ltd.

The judgement of the court is based on the N2 billion loan facility obtained by the Milan Industry Ltd to part finance the construction of the hotel. The loan facility, according to the bank has now grown to over N15 billion.

But ruling on the matter, the Court of Appeal in a unanimous judgment said the hotel management had paid fully the N2 billion loan obtained from the bank, and as such the hotel should not have been put up for sale.

According to the appellate court in the judgement appeal No CA/LAG/ CV/476/2021, the issue put before it is whether the hotel has fully paid the N2 billion original loan , and not whether it has liquidated other facilities and intents which now stood at N15 billion.

on the appeal filed by Polaris and AMCON which had earlier nullified the sale of the hotel to another firm, 11 Plc.
The Court of Appeal, Lagos Division has nullified the sale of Intercontinental Hotels, Lagos, by Polaris Bank and the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria, AMCON, and ordered a return of the facility to the original owner, the Milan Industries Ltd.In a unanimous judgment in appeal No CA/LAG/CV/476/2021, the appellate court held that Milan Industries Ltd had fully paid the bank the N2 billion mortgage facility it secured from Polaris Bank before the hotel was taken over and sold by AMCON and the bank.

On the argument by Polaris Bank that the hotel has not liquidated the loan, the three-man panel presided over by Justices Jimi Olukayode Bada, held that facts before the court proved to the contrary, noting that with the deposition of the Respondent in paragraph 16 of the Counter Affidavit on page 115, the records indicate that the sum has been liquidated since December 5, 2016.

Justice Bada held: “In this case, the maximum amount secured was N2 billion and the 1st respondent cannot use the property charged to liquidate any amount in excess of the maximum amount secured and where the maximum amount secured is paid the security is discharged.

“The excess amount not secured is an unsecured debt which can only be recovered through a debt action and not by enforcement of the charge.

“In this matter the maximum amount secured in the sum of N2 billion has been repaid to discharge the security. As I said earlier the respondent cannot enforce the charge for any amount in excess of the N2 billion registered against the charge.

“The issue before the trial court was not whether the appellant had repaid all the facilities availed and standing at N15 billion, the issue in dispute was whether the appellant had repaid the N2 billion secured.
“For reason best known to the 1st Respondent it registered the charge under consideration for N2 billion when it could have registered it for the maximum amount availed, including the accrue interest.”

Recall that Polaris Bank formerly known as Skye Bank had put the management of the five-star hotel under the receivership of Kunle Ogunba, an arrangement that was nullified by a Federal High Court in Lagos.

Despite this, the bank went ahead and sold the hotel to another company, 11 Plc, a move that was challenged at the Appeal Court by the lawyers to Milan Industries Ltd, Messrs Ahmed Raji and Tunde Kasunmu of Prof. A.B Kasunmu Chambers.

Based on the judgment released on Wednesday, the Court of Appeal has now resolved the two issues sought by Intercontinental Hotel which is the Appellant/ Cross Respondent, in its favour.

Milan Industries Ltd had taken a facility from Skye Bank to part-finance the five-star hotel located in Victoria Island, Lagos and managed by IHG.

The Milan Group had up till 2021 to pay back the facility but in a curious move, the bank obtained an interim order to take over the management of the hotel, an order that was vacated when the suit was struck out by the court on March 20th 2018According to the Certified True Copy of the judgment signed and released on Wednesday by the Senior Registrar of the court, A. G. Balogun, the appellate court held that the two issues Milan Industries as Appellant/Cross Respondent was contesting were resolved in its favour.

“With the resolution of Issues No. 1 and 2 in favour of the Cross Respondent and against the Cross Appellants (Polaris Bank, AMCON and 11 PLC), it is my view that this cross appeal lacks merit and it is hereby dismissed,” Justice Baba said.

By Adesina Soyooye

The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, will be a guest at the famous Chatham House. London, United Kingdom.

Date is January 16, 2023

Obi’s appearance at Chatham House follows that of the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Tinubu’s appearance on Tuesday, December 5, has been mired in controversy and harsh criticisms by not a few Nigerians.

Abandoning the convention at Chatham House, Tinubu had, in an action described as embarrassing by a cross section of Nigerians, assigned a number of the questions asked from him, to members of his entourage to answer on his behalf. According to reports, the management of Chattam House said he took them unawares.

Chatham House announced the date with Obi in a tweet on Thursday. “Nigeria’s 2023 Elections: In conversation with Obi.”

“The second  of our events examining @Nigeria’s 2023 elections and political developments will take place on January 16, 2023.

Given the controversy which surrounded Tinubu’s appearance, expectations of Nigerians will be very high on January 16 as many have become aware of Chatham House.

The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and that of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, Dr Peter Obi, are expected to take their turns at Chatham House one after the other.

Obi, just as Tinubu, is expected to espouse on his plans to handle Nigeria’s many problems if he wins the Presidential election scheduled for February, 2023.

Aged 61 years, Obi was a two-term Governor of Anambra State. He was, also, the Vice Presidential candidate of the PDP in the 2019 General Elections. He decamped from the PDP to the LP a few days to the Presidential Primary of the PDP where he was an aspirant.

Since then, nothing has remained the same. He has disrupted the political landscape of Nigeria. The LP Candidate has a cult followership  amongst the youths, especially, who see him as “Nigeria’s Poster Boy.”

Former Minister Ogah To Ignore Conviction For Forgery, Ordered Arrested And Imprisoned Anywhere He Is Seen

Uche Ogah

By Charles Igbo

The immediate past Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development, Dr Uche Ogah, was on Thursday, December, 8, 2022,  convicted by an Abia  Magistrate Court for forgery.

The Magistrate, Ngozi Nwangwa, ordered that Ogah, who was not in Court, as has been the case since the case started,  be arrested and imprisoned anywhere he is seen in the Country.

Nwangwa’s judgment was in respect of Suit No. UMSC/362/2022 brought against Ogah by his Party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.

In the criminal complaint, the Party alleged that Ogah did not take part in the Governorship Primary held on May 26, 2022, yet with the intent that it may be acted upon as genuine, forged the result sheet of the Party’s Direct Primary.

The Abia State APC had organised two parallel Primaries, one of which declared Ogah winner, and the other, supported by the Party’s leadership in the State, declaring Ikechi Emenike winner.

The APC submitted that the forgery by Ogah hurt the Party and its “authentic Governorship Candidate, Chief Ikechi Emenike.”   Ogah, according to the Party, for that, committed an offence contrary to Section 465 of the Criminal Code (as applicable in Abia) and punishable under Section 467.”

Prosecution Witness 1, Chief Chidi Awaja, State Secretary to the Party, tendered six exhibits numbered “A – F” against Ogah which Vigilus Nwankwo, Counsel to the APC, described as “unchallenged and incontrovertible evidence” against Ogah.

Magistrate Nwangwa, in her judgement said that the defendant/ respondents is “guilty as charged. I am convinced that the defendant has no defence. I hereby commit Dr. Uche Ogah for the offence as charged.”

She ordered Security Agents  to arrest Dr Ogah anywhere he is seen and keep him in the nearest Correctional Center.

On November 12, The Honourable Justice Binta Nyako of the FCT Federal High Court Abuja, has pronounced Ogah the duly elected Governorship candidate of the  Abia APC, and removed Emenike, who had earlier been recognized as the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

Born in 1969, Dr Ogah, who attended Olabisi Onabanjo University, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and The University of Lagos, is the President of Master Energy Group – a conglomerate with over 15 subsidiaries.

A source close to him dismissed his conviction, and said he would appeal the judgement, given that he has a judgment from a superior Court which declared him the APC Governorship Candidate.

2023: Rivers APC Demands Apology From Umahi, Oshiomhole; Accuse Them Of Running Down Party In The State

The Leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Rivers State, is angry.

It is angry at its high profile members who visit from outside the State, on the invitation of Governor  Nyesom Wike of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Governor Wike, in the wake of his disagreement with the leadership of his Party formed the habit of inviting high profile members of the opposition, especially, the APC, to Commission some of the projects he executed in the State.

But the APC in Rivers State is angry, not over the invitation extended to their leaders but over two issues.

One, when they come to the State, they hardly visit or ask after the APC leaders. Even when the immediate past Transportation Minister, Chibuike Amaechi is in town, they neither call him nor visit him. They simply come and go as if the APC is non existent in the State.

Two, the Rivers APC is, also, angry that they talk down on the Party while they are in the State, and heap praises on Wike and his Government only. Thus, they said in a protest to the National Leadership, the Rivers State APC chapter has been  reduced to a laughing stock. The Party and its members have become subjects of mockery in the State.

In the letter to the National Chairman of the Party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the Rivers State Chairman, Emeka Beke, called the visiting APC members, “disgruntled leaders”, and Wike, their “pay master”

He said: “Sir, it is disheartening to note, that any time these disgruntled leaders of the party with anti-party activities running in their veins, which is their stock in trade, visit Rivers State, they will openly make condemnation and scurrilous remarks, thereby demoralizing the spirited and concerted effort of APC members in Rivers State, all in an attempt to please Governor Nyesom Wike, their pay-master,”.

Beke pointedly mentioned the utterances of Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, and former National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole when they visited the State recently to commission Wike’s projects.

He demanded an “unreserved public apology” from Umahi and Oshiomhole for, allegedly, coming to Rivers State to campaign against the APC.   The protest letter also asked for the suspension of both men for  “anti-party activities,” unless they show remorse with the requested public apology.

Beke emphasized that Rivers APC is not worried about the regular visit of the party leaders to Wike. But while they are on their visits, he insists that: “they must stop talking trash and campaigning against APC Candidates in Rivers State because they want to over rich themselves anytime they visit Rivers State.”

On Oshiomhole, he  told Adamu: “Sir, most recently, particularly, on 16th November, Mr Oshiomhole visited Rivers State on the invitation of Governor Wike to commission the Rumuepirikorm-Ada George Fly-over.

“During the commissioning, he said ‘I have seen the reason why Governor Wike used to win APC in Rivers State. Mr Wike has very strong and energetic youths he is working with, which he use to win my party. Wike, will you permit me to go with some of them from Rivers State to Edo State.’

He said Umahi then took after Oshiomhole.

Beke: “Subsequently, on 22nd November, Dave Umahi, visited Rivers State on the invitation of Mr Wike to commission the Akpabu-Omudioga-Egbeda Road and he said ‘Governor Wike you have tried so much. The only day you will see me in Rivers State campaigning is the day we will come here for the Presidential Campaign, apart from that, you will not see me again because all other positions, you will win.’

Both Oshiomhole and Umahi, he said, made their    statements, live, on television and so, the  Party’s National Leadership cannot pretend to be unaware of it.

Amaechi is the overall State leader of the Party. But he has been unusually quiet since after he lost the Presidential ticket to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Fears that flights heading to the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Owerri, can only land before 6pm may have been rested as Governor Hope Uzodimma has initiated the installation of night landing facilities at the busy airport.

Governor Uzodinma dropped the hint on Thursday while addressing a gathering of Imo State sons and daughters who came to witness the handover of 31 SUVs as operational vehicles to the leadership of the traditional rulers in Imo State.

The Governor who said that he will continue to embark on programmes that impact positively on the lives of the people of the State, noted that Imo sons and daughters as well as other visitors desirous of traveling through the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport will now have the opportunity of landing at night, effective this Christmas season.

His words: “We are installing night landing facilities at Imo Airport

“When we have night landing facilities, our brothers and sisters who are coming home from outside the country during this Christmas period will land in Owerri at night.

“Very soon harmattan will start and local flights are only allowed at night. And those who must come back will land at Port Harcourt or land at other neighbouring States, and then begin to come by road to Imo State.

“When we have facilities for night flight and navigation, they will fly straight into Owerri and if there is need for them to sleep overnight before going to the villages, they will patronize our own hotels.

“We are talking about the impact of our growth plan and economic recovery. Its like building a house. We must set out the plan, set out the pillars. We must design what is implementable and that is what we are doing.”

Governor Uzodimma further assured the people that there is nothing to worry about in terms of their security as Government will stop at nothing to step up its game.

Hope Uzodimma Presents SUV to Traditional Rulers in Imo

The Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma has presented 31 SUV vehicles to the leaders of Traditional Rulers in Imo State to enhance their operational mode.

Those who benefitted include the Chairman of Imo State Council of Traditional Rulers Council,  his three Zonal Chairmen and Monarchs who are Chairmen in the 27 Local Government Areas of the State.

The vehicles are to assist the Chairman of Imo State Council of Traditional Rulers and his team across the State in their day-to-day operations.

Making the presentation, the Governor said the Traditional Institution is a critical and important institution that represents the culture of the people and tradition and could be described as the “Citadel of Justice at the Community level.”

He noted that the Monarchs maintain security and dispense justice at the rural level and that some of them in doing so even lose their lives. He said the car gift was meant to encourage them not to relent in their service to the State.

Governor Uzodinma said that “from time to time a strong welfare package will be made available to the Royal Fathers of the State as a way of cushioning the effect of their non-participation in some activities that would have made them more comfortable.”

He assured the Monarchs that as soon, “as the Constitutional Amendment is concluded, the Royal Fathers in the country, Imo State inclusive, will be assigned constitutional responsibilities.”

He appealed to them to do well to speak to the youths to leave crime and criminality and come forward for empowerment programmes designed by the State Government to make them entrepreneurs and employers of labour.

He proceeded to announce that the 3R government is about to empower over 5,000 Imo youths with Laptop (Computers), acquired by the State Government and donations from  Zinox Computers.

He seized the opportunity  to plead with those involved in banditry, murdering of innocent citizens and other activities that tend to make the State unsafe to think twice and turn a new leaf.

Governor Uzodinma reiterated his earlier plea with Eze Imo and other Traditional Rulers to partner Government to curb crime and criminality, emphasizing that “in this Christmas festivities, Government will stop at nothing in ensuring that Imo people both at home and in Diaspora returning for Christmas will go about their businesses without fear of harassment and molestation.”

According to him, “the security architecture will be stepped up.”

He called on all and sundry to continue to pray for the President Muhammadu Buhari for his goodwill for Imo and in helping the State to share in both tangible and intangible dividends of democracy as exemplified in the upgrading of the Federal Medical Centre to University Teaching Hospital and making Alvan Ikoku College of Education a Federal University of Education in addition to the approval given for the dredging of Oguta/Orashi River to the sea that will open up Imo State to the outside world through the waterways.

Governor Uzodinma recalled how he did his best to turn around the near decayed Imo State when he assumed office in 2020 through improving the Civil Service, working on the mindsets of the people and bringing back trust of the people to governance.

“On the aggregate we can say we have hope,” he noted, even as he said that “it is not uhuru yet in areas of security because the enemies are still on the prowl.”

But he warned that they should not allow themselves to be used to destroy our Imo, stating that his government is not relenting because “it is the primary duty of every government all over the world to guarantee the people security of lives and properties.”

In her remarks the Imo State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Mrs. Rubby Emele told the audience that the Governor is going about doing good, not only in infrastructure but in human capital development.

“Today is the Traditional Rulers turn and the next day it will be the empowerment of youths.”

She described the presentation of the vehicles as a distribution of amenities to the Communities and Local Government Areas and “one of such numerous exploits of the Governor.”

In his appreciation remarks, the Chairman Imo State Council of Traditional Rulers, HRM Eze (Dr.) Emmanuel Okeke thanked the Governor for his gestures to the Traditional Rulers and pledged their commitment to ensure the success of the Governor’s administration.

Yusuf Magaji Bichi - DSS DG

By Gideon Njoku

Worried by the crushing fuel scarcity in most parts of the Country, the Department of State Services, DSS, is talking tough.

On Thursday, December 8, 2022, the Service issued an ultimatum to the Nigerian National Petroleum Compay Limited, NNPC, Independent Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN, and all Stakeholders responsible for the distribution of fuel to petrol stations to clear the queues within 48 hours. Otherwise, the DSS said, it would begin a manhunt for all those responsible for the hardship Nigerians are going through over fuel crisis.

The Spokesperson for the Service, Dr Peter Afunanya, passed on the ultimatum to them in Abuja after the Director General of the DSS, Yusuf Magaji Bichi, held a meeting with all the Stakeholders at the Service’s Headquarters.

Nigerians have suffered a very difficult period, for weeks, over the scarcity of fuel in the Country.

The queues have been unending, thus, grounding economic and social activities to a halt.

Not even the Aviation Industry is spared. On Wednesday, Airpeace, one of the Airlines, warned its passengers of delayed flights due to tye scarcity of Aviation fuel.

Those at the meeting with the DG, according to reports, were: NNPC, PTD, NUPENG, NARTO, MOWAN, DEPMAN and IPMAN.
