Speaking at a retreat at the weekend, the chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Banking and Currency, Victor Nwokolo, said it was sad that agencies of the federal government work at cross-purposes rather than collaborating to ensure that they support the federal government and its economic recovery after the coronavirus pandemic had dealt a deadly blow on Nigerian economy and the global community.
Members of the committee include heads and representatives of agencies such as the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission , the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , and the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit . They were expected to review the status of the huge debts owed to AMCON, deliberate on practical, legal and other strategies for the recovery of the outstanding debts. The committee is chaired by Prof. Bolaji Owasanoye , the ICPC chairman.
According to him, ministries, departments and agencies of the government are supposed to work in sync to ensure that nobody shortchanges the federal government, but that “from reports we get from AMCON, it is obvious that they are facing frustrations from not just the obligors but from the judiciary, as well as ministries, departments and agencies of the federal government. There is no reason why that should happen in a decent country.

How Nigerian High Court Ruled Erroneously On Nnamdi Kanu’s Case – Lead Counsel, Ozekhome | Sahara ReportersHowever, we are not in any way deterred by these state-sponsored tactics from firing on all cylinders, to ensure the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu in the shortest possible time. The Court only read out Buhari's statement. Nigeria is dead as a country The Igbo people deserve peace ,this man is not the owner of Igbo people to claim them by force .Nigeria has the right to defend their territory Lawyers wld always find words to extricate themselves from their failures and ineptitude. I don't know what some ppl expect, that Kanu who by his stupid and reckless agitations has brought so much deaths and destruction shld just walk away as a free man? The law must be applied

Homosexuality: Bauchi Shari’ah Court sentences three to death by stoningA Sharia Court in Ningi Local Government Area (LGA) of Bauchi State has sentenced three men to death by stoning over homosexuality. Though, I'm unapologetically against the act of homosexuality committed against the young men, however death sentence is too harsh a punishment to be given. Life sentence would have been better than death sentence in my opinion. Even for a chronic homophobic like me, this is simply evil. Come on, stoning? While the political leaders that appoint you lots go free? Doesn't Counseling feel good? For a deeply religious society, how come the sexual preference of those guys is this?
