Former governor of Lagos State Akinwunmi Ambode Friday denied being involved in the N9.9bn fraud said to have been discovered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). “The former Governor was not and will never be involved in any unauthorized use of government property and resources,” Ambode’s media aide Habib Aruna said in a statement. Aruna said the investigated accounts were opened for administrative purpose of Lagos State Government and not for the former Ambode’s personal transactions. A federal high court in Lagos Monday ordered the freezing of three bank accounts over an alleged fraud of N9.9 billion fraud. The court judge, Chuka Obiozor, ordered the suspension of the bank accounts following an ex parte application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The accounts are domiciled in First City Monument Bank (FCMB), Access Bank, and Zenith Bank with numbers 5617984012, 0060949275 and 1011691254 respectively. The accounts were alleged to b

Pan-Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, the mouthpiece of monarchs, leaders and stakeholders of the coastal states of Niger Delta has described the Federal High Court, Abuja authorization to DSS to detain Mr. Omoyele Sowore for 45 days as a misplaced display of superfluous power by the Federal Government. According to the Forum, the planned ‘Revolution Now’ protest convened by Sowore was a mere dramatic presentation of the state of affairs in the nation and not intended to sack the government as alleged by the Department of State Services, DSS. Recall that the DSS had taken Sowore into its custody last Saturday and flown him from Lagos to Abuja on charges bordering on treasonable felony. National Secretary of the regional group, Dr Alfred Mulade, in a statement on Thursday in Warri, said: “This is sheer display of tyranny and oppression. What a responsible government should do is to see this planned protest as a wake-up call, to fix the myriad humongous security and development issues b

Human Rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) has said that those who are using the opportunity of having federal power to harass Nigerians with treason charges will one day be tried for treason. The lawyer who spoke at a book launch at the Bankers House, Victoria Island Lagos on Tuesday, regretted that many Nigerians have now joined the government in demonising citizens out of ignorance. Referring to Omowole Sowore, the Sahara Reporters publisher who was arrested over the weekend by the Department of State Services (DSS) for organising protests against the President Muhammadu Buhari government which he tagged #RevolutionNow, Falana said the allegation (of treason) against him has no basis. “We should stop demonising ourselves like the government. A young man was arrested over the weekend. And while he is still in detention, a lot of information is circulating, ‘Oh, he took money from Dubai, they want to destabilize the country.’ In fact one went out this morning: ‘Eeh! When they were de
