Maltese authorities have seized counterfeit Libyan money worth $1.1 billion that was printed by a Russian firm and worsen the north African country’s economic problems, the US State Department said.

“The United States commends the Government of the Republic of Malta’s announcement May 26 of its seizure of $1.1 billion of counterfeit Libyan currency printed by Joint Stock Company Goznak — a Russian state-owned company — and ordered by an illegitimate parallel entity,” the State Department said. “ The influx of counterfeit, Russian-printed Libyan currency in recent years has exacerbated Libya’s economic challenges,” it added.

Such actions “are inconsistent with internationally-recognized sanctions regimes,” the statement said.

BREAKING: FG has no power to seize States\u2019 funds – EkweremaduFormer Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, on Friday, said the Federal Government has no power to seize funds belonging to State Governments over the implementation of the recent order signed by President Muhammadu Buhari. The President had signed an Executive Order which provides for full autonomy of the States Houses of Assembly and the Compd senator oh really go ahead prove it for us will you make a law or will you go to Court on thier behalf.......... waiting Mr senator Of course, they don't. But the problem is the State governors themselves don't even really understand what State Autonomy is. They might need to study the American States a little to understand the concept of State sovereignty and its powers.

HED: Nigeria traces $9.6 billion financial hit back to $390,000 in alleged bribes - Premium Times Nigeriaast year, the British court authorized P&ID to seize more than $9.6 billion of Nigeria’s foreign assets — more than the West African country’s annual health and education budgets combined. Going by the story, a civil servant was supposed to have retired but was left in service for 16 months in order to conclude the fraudulent deal before exiting service. This caught my attention as very often we see these things happen. The rule should be rule & never overturned We should never allow politicians or high-ranking civil servants to change the rules at any time. There should be nothing like extension of service years. When people reach top positions they should have fixed years to prevent the abuse of office/power. I have seen people being retained in MDAs beyond retirement age/exit time & truth is that it was always the very corrupt and inept public servants that enjoy such a favour. The good ones I usually hurried or even pushed out.
