<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have just read a statement attributed to me on something called <b>The Cable</b>, a news outlet, evidently one of the Internet infestations. My lecture at the Hutchins Centre, Harvard University, was video recorded. Anyone who believes what I am alleged to have said must be a moron – repeat, a moron.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is demeaning, sickening and boring to have to deal with these cowards who cannot fight their own battles but must fasten their imbecilic pronouncements on others. Only the mentally retarded will credit this comment attributed to me regarding the <b>Ndigbo</b> voting pattern in the last elections. I strongly suspect the author of this despicable concoction, and may make a further statement, once the source is verified.</div>

Kashamu Approaches Court To Stop 'Likely' Extradition To The US

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeR1Y8xK_mc9PGC2QkmT6DKjCBLoL9L0Oz44XpflYvwOjcYxEJF9NyWsSF8VaiDYwghORr_yput_mSLwxR1aenE3ssKI-wnMdyhn9rmRhokeQkamHW98gDLJJE9uEoOB5U9sf6steB8nWM/s1600/Kashamu1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeR1Y8xK_mc9PGC2QkmT6DKjCBLoL9L0Oz44XpflYvwOjcYxEJF9NyWsSF8VaiDYwghORr_yput_mSLwxR1aenE3ssKI-wnMdyhn9rmRhokeQkamHW98gDLJJE9uEoOB5U9sf6steB8nWM/s1600/Kashamu1.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Senator-elect Buruji Kashamu has filed a lawsuit at a Federal High Court in Lagos in a bid to forestall his extradition to the United States of America to face drug-related charges.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Kashamu, a close associate of President Goodluck Jonathan and winner of the Ogun East senatorial seat in Ogun State, yesterday commenced argument in a legal case to enforce his right against extradition.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
US prosecutors in Chicago, Illinois have named Mr. Kashamu as the fugitive kingpin in a high-profile drug smuggling ring that inspired a bestselling memoir, Orange is the New Black, as well as a sensational Netflix TV production based on the case. But the flamboyant Nigerian politician, who styles himself “Prince” Kashamu, has eluded US law enforcement authorities more than 15 years since they cracked the drug smuggling case.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With President Jonathan, his chief ally, about to exit from office on May 29, Mr. Kashamu has apparently decided that his safest bet is to use the courts to fight his extradition.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Two notable lawyers, Alex Izinyon and Ricky Tarfa, filed Mr. Kashamu’s 92-paragraph affidavit. The senator-elect, who won on the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has named twelve defendants in his legal action. Those listed as defendants in the case include Nigeria’s Inspector General of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF), the chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and the director of the Department of Security Services (DSS). Other defendants are Interpol, National Central Bureau (NCB), the Attorney General of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria, the clerk of the National Assembly of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria, the National Security Adviser to the Nigerian President, the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), the Nigerian Customs Services (NCS), the Nigerian Immigration Services (NIS) and The Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Details of the case showed that the senator-elect identified himself as a businessman and listed his address as Plot 1228 Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His affidavit disclosed that he was incarcerated in Brixton Prisons in London from 1998 till January 10, 2003 when Judge Tim Workman ruled that the allegations by US authorities against him pertaining to the importation of narcotic involved a case of mistaken identity and that there was no “prima facie” case that he was the person referred to as “Alaji” by those apprehended in the US and who had indicated that they had a West African collaborator.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Kashamu’s affidavit noted that, after Judge Workman’s judgment October 6, 2000, he was re-arrested and faced a second extradition proceeding in the UK. It added that, January 10, 2003, Justice Tim Workman again ruled in his favor, leading to his release. He thereafter returned to Nigeria to start his business.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The lawsuit alleges that he was persuaded to join partisan politics because of his philanthropic activities, adding that his political activities had brought him powerful enemies, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Kashamu claimed that he and Mr. Obasanjo worked as political allies for some years, adding that they fall apart in 2012 after he took a stand in favor of “internal democracy” in the PDP. According to the lawsuit, Mr. Obasanjo felt embittered after he and other PDP members resorted to litigation to loosen Mr. Obasanjo's group hold on the party.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He alleged that Mr. Obasanjo retaliated by targeting him with intense propaganda, including creating the impression that he had been convicted for drug-related offences in the United Kingdom. In addition, Mr. Kashamu claimed that INTERPOL had investigated drug-trafficking allegations against him in 2008, culminating in INTERPOL’s conclusion that he was never declared wanted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Kashamu further accused Mr. Obasanjo of pressuring Nigeria’s attorney general to have him extradited to the US. He also claimed that the former president had boasted that he was making arrangement with some U S officials have him abducted and flown in a private plane to the US.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His affidavit named current IGP, Solomon Arase, and officials of the Homeland Department in the US of plotting his abduction and transportation to the US.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The lawsuit alleges that Mr. Obasanjo had made plans to have him arrested and flown to the US during his swearing in as senator on May 29, 2015.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Senator-elect Kashamu’s lawsuit also contends that the AGF cannot act on any extradition request from the US in view of an appeal before the Nigerian Supreme Court on the legality of such requests.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The lawsuit disclosed that Mr. Kashamu was concerned that the incoming administration of President-elect Muhammadu Buhari could be used to perpetrate illegality and subvert the Nigerian judicial system.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Among other reliefs, Mr. Kashamu’s lawsuit seeks an order restraining the defendants and their agents from arresting, detaining, or otherwise effecting his abduction on a spurious allegation; an order directing the clerk of the National Assembly to accord him every facility and privileges due to him as a senator-elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; a declaration that arrangements being made by the defendants in collusion with the United States of America security operatives in West Africa and his political opponents led by Mr. Obasanjo to abduct him and forcibly transport him to US on the basis of allegations that had been the subject of investigation by Interpol and litigation in a competent court in the United Kingdom, which led to his exoneration, be deemed illegal and unlawful.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have stated that they met with President-elect Muhammadu Buhari to discuss the precarious state of the Nigerian economy.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Chairman of the APC Governors forum and governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, who briefed reporters at the end of the meeting that held at the Defence House Abuja, said the country’s economy is in such bad shape that no State has been able to pay salaries of its workers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“As it stands today, most states of the federation have not been able to pay salaries, even the Federal Government has not been able to pay their April salary and that is worrisome,” he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“By May/June, that will be three months and with the huge expectations of the people who voted for us into office, we are hoping that the president-elect will do all that is humanly possible to bring a bail out not only on the States, but the Federal Government as well.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Okorocha also said the APC governors have seen a reason to work together with Mr. Buhari in order to bring about the change that Nigerians are yearning for.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We also call on our brothers in the other parties to join us to build the Nigeria of our dreams.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Imo Governor also said they came as a group to formally congratulate Mr. Buhari for a “well deserved victory” in the presidential election which held on March 28.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the rumoured submission of ninisterial nominees to the President-elect, Mr. Okorocha simply remarked that it was “too early in the day” to do that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said the names would be submitted as “soon as necessary”.</div>

<b>Truly, whatever a man can do, they say, a woman can do even better. When you talk of bank officials defrauding their customers never limit your thoughts to male bankers only. Their female colleagues seem to know how to defraud better. Below is the story of one Amina Magaji who defrauded late Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero, as reported by the PUNCH.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested two former bank employees, Amina Magaji and Haruna Namadi, for defrauding the late Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero, to the tune of ₦17m.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The third suspect, Muhammed Abdullahi, was said to be at large.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, explained that Magaji was appointed the account officer to the late monarch in 2011 to oversee his account domiciled in one of the old generation banks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said, "She reactivated the account, which had been dormant for 47 years, and then withdrew the money in bits to the tune of ₦17,060,000, using forged cheques.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"She was aided in the fraud by the second defendant, Namadi, who was at the time a driver with the bank."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The suspects were arraigned on Monday before Justice Faruk Lawan of the Kano State High Court.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They pleaded not guilty to the offence.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Counsel for the first accused, I.O Francis, and counsel for the second accused, Kabiru Yakubu, filed for bail of their clients.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lawan granted bail to the accused persons in the sum of ₦2m with one surety each in like sum.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He adjourned the case till May 5 and 6, 2015.</div>

<b>Villagers in Uttar Pradesh have flocked to see the 'divine' baby even after doctors warned a genetic mutation may be to blame.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A <a href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/babies">baby girl</a> is reportedly being worshipped like a god in India after she was born with a facial deformity resembling an elephant's trunk.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Villagers near Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, have flocked to see the 'divine' girl in the belief she is an incarnation of the elephant-headed god Ganesha.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They have continued despite doctors warning her condition may well be a genetic mutation, <a href="https://in.news.yahoo.com/baby-girl-born-trunk-labelled-ganesha-aligarh-023349510.html">Asian News International reported</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Everybody is saying she is an incarnation of the god.</div>
