[JUST IN]: Fani-Kayode Cleared Of Money Laundering Charges

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>LAGOS, NIGERIA - A Federal High Court in Lagos has discharged and acquitted a former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, of corruption charges.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In her judgment, the judge, Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, said the prosecution’s case was "feeble" and failed to provide "copious evidence" linking Mr. Fani-Kayode to money laundering.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Fani-Kayode, whose trial began in 2008 before Justice Ramat Mohammed, was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for allegedly laundering about ₦100 million while he was Minister of Culture and Tourism and subsequently, Aviation Minister.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The allegedly laundered sum was, however, reduced to ₦2.1million on November 17, 2014 after the court dismissed 38 of the 40-count charge levelled against Mr. Fani-Kayode for want of proof. The EFCC prosecutor, Festus Keyamo, while urging the court to uphold the remaining two counts and to accordingly convict Mr. Fani-Kayode, said the former minister failed to exonerate himself of the allegations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Keyamo pointed out that the object of the charge was that Mr. Fani-Kayode transacted in cash sums above ₦500,000, which was the threshold stipulated by the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Keyamo had argued that Mr. Fani-Kayode admitted making such transactions in his confessional statement of Dec. 22, 2008 made to the EFCC.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Keyamo had argued that the prosecution had discharged its duty once it established that Mr. Fani-Kayode transacted in large sums above the Money Laundering threshold, adding that it was left for Mr. Fani-Kayode to explain the source of the money.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Once you cannot explain the source of the large sum of money found on you, you are guilty of money laundering. If the prosecution must show where the money is coming from, then the whole essence of the money laundering law is defeated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It is not in all cases that the burden of proof lies on the prosecution; the burden at this point shifts to the accused person,” Mr. Keyamo argued.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But Mr. Fani-Kayode’s lawyer, Ifedayo Adedipe (SAN), in his summary argument, maintained that Mr. Fani-Kayode made no confession to the EFCC, adding that the anti-graft agency failed to show that Mr. Fani-Kayode actually accepted a cash sum of N1million as alleged.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Adedipe said the EFCC also failed to show to the court the person who handed the cash sum to the accused person.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said for the case of the prosecution to succeed, it had to be proven beyond reasonable doubts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Oklahoma Supreme Court Rules 10 Commandments Monument Be Removed

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>News coming out of the United States of America these days might be pointing to the beginning of the end of the US. The #SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the US) had ruled in favour of #LGBT the other day. And, now the Supreme Court of Oklahoma gave the following ruling.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://bigstory.ap.org/article/07c1ab083f96419baf5547a666004bd2/oklahoma-court-ten-commandments-monument-must-come-down">The Associated Press reported</a>:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oklahoma's highest court said the Ten Commandments chiseled into the 6-foot-tall granite monument, which was privately funded by a Republican legislator, are "obviously religious in nature and are an integral part of the Jewish and Christian faiths."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 7-2 ruling overturns a decision by a district court judge who determined the monument could stay.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Attorney General Scott Pruitt had argued that the monument was historical in nature and nearly identical to a Texas monument that was found constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Oklahoma justices said the local monument violated the state's constitution, not the U.S. Constitution.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Quite simply, the Oklahoma Supreme Court got it wrong," Pruitt said in a statement. "The court completely ignored the profound historical impact of the Ten Commandments on the foundation of Western law."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pruitt said his office would ask the court for a rehearing and request that the monument be allowed to stay until the court considers his request.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since the original monument was erected in 2012, several other groups have asked to put up their own monuments on the Capitol grounds. Among them is a group that wants to erect a 7-foot-tall statue that depicts Satan as Baphomet, a goat-headed figure with horns, wings and a long beard.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A Hindu leader in Nevada, an animal rights group, and the satirical Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster also have made requests.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rep. Mike Ritze, a Republican from Broken Arrow whose family paid about $10,000 for the monument's construction, pushed the bill authorizing the monument. He said Tuesday he hoped the attorney general would appeal the ruling.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The original monument was smashed into pieces in October, when someone drove a car across the Capitol lawn and crashed into it. A 29-year-old man who was arrested the next day was admitted to a hospital for mental health treatment, and formal charges were never filed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A new monument was built and put up again in January.</div>

Aso Rock: CSO Overrules ADC On DSS' Quit Order

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief Security Officer, Abdulrahman Mani, has revoked the order by the Aide-De-Camp to the President, Lt.-Col. Lawal Abubakar, removing operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) from giving Buhari close body protection.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mani, in a memo countermanding the ADC’s order, said the DSS operatives should disregard the directive by Abubakar. He said the order was a misrepresentation of Buhari’s directive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buhari’s ADC had on Wednesday last week issued a memo redeploying the DSS officials from 10 beats that they had hitherto manned inside the Presidential villa, explaining that the decision to strip the DSS officials of their traditional roles was part of efforts to enhance general security within the villa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He also claimed that the development was necessitated by “recent events,” which he did not disclose.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ADC consequently directed personnel of the Armed Forces and the Nigeria Police to take over the DSS officials’ duties of providing “close/immediate protection” for the President with immediate effect.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But in a June 26, 2015, memo by the CSO, a copy of which was obtained by our correspondent on Sunday, Mani directed the DSS officials to disregard the ADC’s order, saying the duties being performed by the DSS personnel in the Presidential villa were backed by relevant statutes and gazetted instruments.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These roles, he added, included close body protection of the President in line with standard operational procedures and international best practices.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He cited Section 2(I )(ii) of Instrument No.SSS 1 of May 23, 1999 made pursuant to Section 6 of the National Security Agencies Decree of 1986, which has been re-enacted as Section 6 of NSA Act CAP N74 LFN 2004.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said the law empowered personnel of the DSS to provide protective security for designated principal government functionaries.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The functionaries, he said, included but not limited to the President and Vice President as well as members of their immediate families.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said the law also mandates the DSS to provide protective security for sensitive installations such as the Presidential Villa and visiting foreign dignitaries.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The CSO said it was for that reason that personnel of the DSS near the President were carefully selected and properly trained and that background checks were constantly carried out on them to confirm their suitability and loyalty.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mani said the issues raised in the ADC’s memo suggested that he ventured into an unfamiliar terrain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The CSO’s memo read, “In fact, the issues raised in the aforementioned (ADC’s) circular tend to suggest that the author may have ventured into a not-too-familiar terrain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The extant practice, the world over, is that VIP protection, which is a specialised field, is usually handled by the Secret Service, under whatever nomenclature.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“They usually constitute the inner core security ring around every principal. The Police and the military by training and mandate are often required to provide secondary and tertiary security cordons around venues and routes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“However, all other security agencies, including the army, the police and others, also have their roles to play. It is on this note that heads of all security agencies currently in the Presidential Villa and their subordinates are enjoined to key into the existing command and control structure. They are to work in harmony with each other in full and strict compliance with the demands of their statutorily prescribed responsibilities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Meanwhile, joint training programmes and other incentives will be worked out in the days ahead to ensure that all security personnel at the Presidential Villa are properly educated to understand their statutory roles and responsibilities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“This is with a view to avoiding obvious grandstanding, overzealousness, limited knowledge or outright display of ignorance in future.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mani asked all the unit and departmental heads to bring the content of his memo to the attention of all personnel for compliance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He copied the National Security Adviser; the Chief of Defence Staff and the Director-General of DSS.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A source however told our correspondent on Sunday that although the CSO’s directive had been widely circulated, it has yet to take effect as the military men drafted to replace the DSS officials were still at their beats.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The source however introduced another dimension when he blamed a top DSS official in the Presidential Villa for the confrontation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He claimed that trouble started when the official ordered that soldiers should be blocked from residence reception.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Infuriated by that action, he said the soldiers contacted the ADC who became angry and vowed to report to the President.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Before that incident, the soldiers have been cooperative and well-behaved. The situation we find ourselves is painful but it is also avoidable,” the source added.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A security expert, Mike Ejiofor, had told our correspondent in an interview on Friday that the ADC’s directive could not stand because it could not be backed by law.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Presidency had in a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, on Wednesday, said Buhari had not given any order for the expulsion of the DSS officials from the Presidential Villa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adesina however admitted that a reorganisation of security at the seat of power was underway.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Narrating his ordeal to <b><i>Vanguard</i></b>, Mr Olomofe said:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
I was with another colleague of mine on a visit to the command, when some smugglers, who claimed that journalists have been writing negative stories about them, pounced on me. While beating me, they threatened to kill me so as to serve as deterrent to journalists writing stories about them. I was there with the correspondent of <i>Tide Newspaper,</i> thank God a friend from Rotary Club came to take me away, I would have been dead, because I was left there almost lifeless. These hoodlums are not unknown. They are known to everybody, but they are above the law. They even told me that they have killed many people and nothing happened, he said.</blockquote>
You'll agree this is one of the hazards of this job! OMG!!! How on earth will some people think they are above the law.<br />
