COURT REMANDS SERVING SENATOR IN PRISON OVER NYSC CERTIFICATE FORGERY

A High Court sitting in Apo, Abuja, has remanded a serving Senator, Benson Konbowei, in Kuje Correctional Centre for alleged forgery of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, exemption certificate.

The Bayelsa Central Senator was arraigned before Justice Christopher Oba on March 26, 2024.

In the charge marked: CR/028/2023, the Inspector General of Police accused Konbowei of fraudulently forging a document titled ‘Certificate of Exemption’ with number 000256454 and dated July 4, 2008.

The police said the Senator acted contrary to the provisions of Sections 366,156 and 158 of the Penal Code Act CAP 532 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990 and was liable to punishment under Section 364 of the same Act.

Upon his arraignment earlier on Tuesday, the Senator pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The court allowed him to go home and fixed the hearing of his bail application for Thursday, March 28, 2024.

After listening to counsels in the matter, the Senator was granted N50m bail with two sureties by the court.

Justice Oba said the sureties must own landed properties with Certificates of Occupancy in the Federal Capital Territory.

The judge, however, ordered that the Senator be remanded in the Kuje Correctional Centre pending the perfection of his bail conditions.The matter was adjourned till June 24, 25 and 27 for hearing.

    POLICE INVADE NATIVE DOCTOR’S SHRINE IN ANAMBRA ARREST TWO SUSPECTS FOR KIDNAPPING

    POLICE INVADE NATIVE DOCTOR’S SHRINE IN ANAMBRA, ARREST TWO SUSPECTS FOR KIDNAPPING No fewer than two suspects have been arrested in a native doctor’s shrine at Uru, Abagana in Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State for alleged armed robbery and kidnapping. The suspects who were arrested when joint security forces comprising of the police and Anambra Vigilantes busted the shrine were identified as Ikechukwu Okafor and Nweze Chijindu SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the Police Public Relations Officer of Anambra State Command made this known in statement on Saturday, noting that the arrest followed the testimony of a rescued kidnap victim on Friday by 6pm near Abagana Girls Secondary School. He asserted that they had launched a manhunt on two others who were at large, adding that one pump-action, the victim’s vehicle, rope, horsewhip and other incriminating items were recovered. The statement reads in part; “Following the testimony of a rescued kidnap victim on 22/11/2024 by 6pm near Abagana Girls Secondary School, Joint security forces comprising of Police and Anambra Vigilantes busted the shrine of a native doctor at Uru, Abagana, arrested two suspects and launched a manhunt on two others, recovered one pump-action, the victim’s vehicle, rope, horsewhip and other incriminating items. “The suspects include one Maduabuchukwu, Ikechukwu Okafor age 30yrs, and Nweze Chijindu aged 38yrs all natives of Abagana while One Supuluchukwu Nweze and Sunday Nwakanze aged 30yrs are presently at large. “Preliminary investigations reveal that the victim was lured to the location by a phone call allegedly initiated by Sunday Nwakanze.

    FROM ENUGU TO OXFORD, INSPIRING STORY OF NIGERIA’S FIRST-CLASS GRADUATE

    FROM ENUGU TO OXFORD: INSPIRING STORY OF NIGERIA’S FIRST-CLASS GRADUATE Odinaka Akpamgbo graduated with a First Class in Law from both Enugu State University and the Nigerian Law School, earning two national prizes. Now pursuing a Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL) degree at Oxford University on a full scholarship, he discusses his aspirations to make a global impact in law. What inspired you to achieve such academic excellence, earning double first-class degrees in law from Enugu State University and the Nigerian Law School, and what has been the key driving force behind your success? I consider myself fortunate to have been born into a family that highly values academic excellence. It was indeed a happy childhood, happier than most children would have been privileged to have, and I very well acknowledge that privilege. The privilege prevailed in the quiet city of Enugu. My last name was quite powerful, as I remember it, as my late great-uncle had been the Attorney-General of the Federation at some time during the less than popular military regime in Nigeria. Another uncle was also a recognized lawyer in Enugu, before his recent passing. Although I never saw or remained in touch with either of them (I may have seen my great-uncle once, I must have been a babe if I did) their legacy infused my childhood, at home and school; it must have also infused my elder brother’s, as he became a star and a great warrior on any academic battlefield earlier than I did. The point I labour to make as it now seems is that there were standards, and the standards were high. My surname symbolised legal power. What perhaps made it overkill was that I bore a fond passion to don a wig and a gown and argue like many women (and some men). It was overkill because when I attempted it, academic success was not elusive. It was like the shoes were there, and all I had to do was step into them. N/West Women Commissioners Advocate for Inclusion in Security Council Meetings to Address Regional InsecurityAlhaji (Dr) Abdulrahman Ado Ibrahim CON: The prince born to be kingI would be guilty of not being complete, if I did not state that I also possessed some base desires, and one of them was power. This was because I was often bullied by brutish boys, and gaining enough power in any classroom would tilt the power scales in my favour (and it did). Now that I am talking about it, I should state that although most of this happened in secondary school, I still recognise a simmering darkness in many men and a propensity to apply power for the oppression of weak(er) people, and for not benign reasons. The darkness is no better than cowardliness, no better than evil. At its basest form it is bullying by children of children; at its greatest form it ruptures the world and triggers wars. We must all fight against this darkness before it ruins our world more than it already has. And so, in lieu of it being imperative to uphold the legacy I had earlier stated as a matter of obligation, it was imperative to uphold it as a matter of necessity, and this did not change when I started my university education. My family provided me with a strong foundation, enabling me to identify my aspirations without being overwhelmed by vocational uncertainties. Yet, luck alone is insufficient; one must be prepared to seize opportunities. Being born in Enugu, as opposed to Western Nigeria and particularly Lagos, meant that I lacked advantage in exposure and information. To bridge this disadvantage, I had to exert additional effort throughout my academic journey. I should close this answer by saying that…
