Mr. Nduka Obaigbena who was indicted in the arms deal scam of embattled former NSA, Sambo Dasuki has made a huge refund of the slush fund to the anti-graft agency.

Mr. Nduka Obaigbena

 

There are indications that the Publisher of ThisDay Newspaper, Mr. Nduka Obaigbena, has returned the sum of N350m to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, according to the Punch.

A top operative of the commission, who confided in a correspondent on Wednesday, said Obaigbena returned the money to the commission on Tuesday.

The operative said Obaigbena was expected to pay an outstanding N200m next week. The Special Task Force of the EFCC, investigating the issue of arms procurement under the Goodluck Jonathan administration, had quizzed Obaigbena on January 29, 2016 for allegedly receiving N670m from the immediate past National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.).

The commission released him 24 hours after he had agreed to sign an undertaking to make a refund of the money in two weeks. The 14-day period of grace, given to the ThisDay Publisher to repay the money he collected from Dasuki’s office expires on Tuesday next week.

“The Publisher of ThisDay Newspaper, Mr. Nduka Obaigbena, has returned N350m out of the N670m he received from the ONSA,” the source in the anti-graft agency told one of our correspondents on Wednesday.

“The Publisher is expected to return the rest N200m next week. You know that he signed an undertaking to return the money before they released him. That undertaking expires on Tuesday next week.’’

Obaigbena had admitted receiving N670m from the ONSA in a response to the EFCC last month.

He explained that N120m of the money was given to the Newspaper Proprietors’ Association of Nigeria as compensation for losses incurred during the military clampdown on newspaper houses in 2015.

Dontrell Stephens

 

A federal jury awarded $23.1 million on Wednesday to a 22-year-old black man, Stephens, who was unarmed when he was shot and paralyzed by a sheriff's deputy.

 

According to CBS News, the six-woman, two-man jury ruled after 3 and half  hours of deliberation that Palm Beach County Sheriff's Sgt. Adams Lin violated Dontrell Stephens' civil rights when he shot him in September 2013.

 

Lin, who had stopped Stephens for riding his bicycle into traffic, testified that he shot Stephens four times because he reached for his waistband with his left hand and then flashed a dark object that he thought was a small handgun.

 

Stephens testified that he was raising his hands when Lin opened fire for no reason. Video from the dashboard camera in Lin's patrol car showed Stephens' left hand was empty and a cellphone was in his right hand.

 

An appeal is expected and Lin's attorneys could ask Magistrate Judge Barry S. Seltzer to reduce the damages.

Federal Govt. Recovers Over $14million in Unpaid Oil Royalty from Jide Omokore's Firm

President Muhammadu Buhari's federal government has succeeded in compelling the Chairman of Atlantic Energy Drilling Concepts Nigeria Limited to cough out over $14 million, being crude oil royalty which his company failed to remit to the federal treasury.

 

According to high ranking federal officials who exclusively disclosed to Premium Times, the President Buhari-led federal government has succeeded in compelling the Chairman of Atlantic Energy Drilling Concepts Nigeria Limited, Jide Omokore to cough out over $14m, being crude oil royalty which his company failed to remit to the federal treasury.

 

Administration insiders familiar with the development revealed that the funds were supposed to have been paid between 2011-2012 by Atlantic Energy which was, in controversial circumstances, awarded oil assets by the Goodluck Jonathan government shortly after it was incorporated in 2010.

 

Sources said the money was finally paid into the Federal Government’s account with JP Morgan Chase on January 29, after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission waded into the matter of recovering taxes due to the Federal Government.

 

A source at the EFCC said on Wednesday; "The investigation of tax defaulters in the dollar-soaked oil industry is continuing. Those who failed to willingly pay up stand the risk of arrest and prosecution for tax fraud."

 

It can be recalled that the operatives of the EFCC had on January 27, questioned Omokore, an ally of former President Jonathan in connection with a series of multi-billion dollar crude export deals.

 

Omokore could not be reached for comments on Wednesday, but his company recently issued a statement saying it was getting back on course after submitting its plan to settle outstanding financial commitments to the Nigerian authorities.
