N123billion fraud: Auditor General’s Report Indicts Ex-Head of Service, Oronsaye



·         N52billion monthly pension payments unaccounted for
·         Collects N1.03billion kickbacks from Pensions Union
·         Cornered N15.6billion meant for settlement of Death Benefits
·         N54billion transferred from 58 illegal accounts can’t be traced
·         Pocketed N113million pension fund, diverted to a contingency account that turned out to be a State House account.

A damning report by the office of Nigeria’s Auditor General has indicted a former Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Stephen Oronsaye, over an alleged N123billion fraud perpetrated during his tenure, between 2009 and 2010, PREMIUM TIMES can authoritatively report today.

The 169-page report, entitled “Special Audit of the Accounts of the Civil Pensions”, found Mr. Oronsaye guilty of allegedly presiding over the looting of the nation’s resources during his tenure.

The audit by the Auditor General arose from the work of a Special Audit Team constituted by the Federal Government in May 2011 to conduct a comprehensive examination of the accounts of the Civilian Pension Department domiciled in the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation.

The audit, which covered the period 2005 to 2010, uncovered monumental financial irregularities, opaque transactions, irregular and abnormal running costs, and outright stealing and kick-backs said to have reached its zenith during the 18 months that Mr. Oronsaye served as Head of Service.

The Auditor General’s office, insiders say, completed its assignment and submitted its report to government in 2012. But no action has been taken to bring all those indicted to book.

Eagles can still qualify for Afcon 2015, says Chukwu

Former Nigeriacoach Christian Chukwu is optimistic that the Super Eagles can still make the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations despite their current predicament.

The reigning African champions face a tortuous route to Morocco where they will be hoping to defend the title won in South Africa in 2013 having lost 3-2 at home to Congo and playing a 0-0 draw in Cape Town.

According to ‘Chairman’ as he is popularly called, the draw against Bafana-Bafana on Wednesday is far better than a defeat while insisting that Keshi’s men must work extremely hard in their remaining matches if they must qualify for the biennial football showpiece.

"The goalless draw is not really a good result for us though it’s far better than a defeat, it still leaves us in a very dicey and tight corner as far as the qualification race in Group A is concerned,” Chukwu told

"The result is not in our favour and it means we must work really hard in the remaining matches if we must qualify to defend our title in Morocco next January.

"Congo have taken an unassailable lead of the group on six points with their superb 2-0 win against Sudan followed closely by South Africa on four points; the scenario is not a smiling one for us at the moment.

"I thought having lost at home in the first group game to Congo we would have gone all out to if need be spill blood to retrieve the points against South Africa to put us on strong footing towards qualification,” he continued.

"Qualification is still within our reach but we must do something extra-human to grab it against determined front runners, Congo and South Africa.

"I don’t understand why we chose to play the catch-up in a group bookmakers have already penciled us down for an easy ride to Morocco.

"The barren draw is a morale booster to the South Africans coming down here to challenge us for the three points later in the race.

"We must start earnest preparations for the next round of matches as it will be unfortunate if we don’t qualify to play in Morocco,” he concluded.
Nigeria will face Sudan in October as they hope to revive their bid for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.

Cyrus turns junk into jewelry in NY Fashion Week

Miley Cyrus walked the runway for Jeremy Scott’s spring 2015 collection during the Fashion Week, and she did it in the most “Miley Cyrus way” possible.

Scott said his collection as a whole was inspired by the idea of "a music festival — like an outdoor party on the beach, or at a bonfire.” Apparently, Miley Cyrus is the perfect fit.

Scott's collection looked like a '70s kaleidoscope of color with various floral prints and patchwork. Miley’s knack for putting together pieces of junk made the outfit even more vibrant and fun. Cyrus named her accessories collection ‘Dirty Hippie,’ including beaded jewelry, headpieces, and yes, marijuana leaves and pom-poms.

Woman found beheaded in north London garden

A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after officers found a woman who had reportedly been beheaded in the back garden of a home in a London suburb.
The victim was found at an address on Nightingale Road, Edmonton, north London, just after 1pm on Thursday.

Firearms officers were sent to the scene and one officer was injured, suffering a broken wrist, during the detention of a 25-year-old man.

The Metropolitan police said officers had fired a Taser, which directs an electric current at a suspect police want to subdue, during the incident.

Police said they were called at 1.07pm to reports of a man armed with a knife. "On arrival officers found a woman, no further details at this stage, collapsed in a garden area. She was pronounced dead at the scene."

Oyakhilomes in fresh trouble as U.K. Commission probes Christ Embassy over payments

The imminent breakup of their marriage may be the least of the problems popular mega-church pastor, Chris Oyakhilome, and his wife, Anita, are facing at the moment as the United Kingdom agency is investigating the UK branch of their church, Christ Embassy, over controversial payments.

The United Kingdom Charity Commission has launched a probe into the transfer of at least N941 million (£3.6 million) by the church to overseas entities between 2008 and 2012.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Charity Commission said it has opened a statutory inquiry to investigate Christ Embassy over “a number of serious concerns relating to the use of charitable funds, in particular large connected party payments and the potential misapplication of grant funding.”

According to the Charity Commission, which is the regulator of charities in England and Wales, statutory inquiries are only opened to investigate “the most serious” regulatory breaches.

The commission said the purpose of the inquiry is to “determine whether there has been any mismanagement or misconduct on behalf of the charity trustees; to establish whether charitable funds have been properly applied and take appropriate remedial action if necessary.”

The investigation was initiated in July 2013, but after interviewing members of the board of trustees and perusing the records and books of the church for a year, the commission was still not convinced that the church has been prudent in managing its finances.

Subsequently, the UK tax authority, HM Revenue and Customs, has withheld N711.4 million (£ 2.7 million) due to the church in donation between 2008 and 2012 until the conclusion is resolved.
On August 11, the commission effectively side-lined the church’s board of trustees and appointed an interim manager to take over the management of the church.

In what it described as a “temporary and protective measure,” the commission appointed Rod Weston of the international audit and accounting firm, Mazars, to take over the running of the church.

Until investigation is concluded, Mr. Weston would “take over the management of the charity, including its staff, assets, interests, and relations with third parties,” the commission said. He is also expected to discharge the functions of the church’s trustees and take steps necessary to secure and take control of the assets of the church.

The commission however added that the activities of the church would not be suspended by the appointment as the Interim Manager is expected to work with the pastors of the church to ensure its religious and charity activities continue as before.
Curious payments

Although the Charity Commission said it does not provide details of ongoing cases so as not to jeopardize the investigations, PREMIUM TIMES assessment of the case however revealed that the church may have made curious payment worth at least N941 million ((£3.6 million) to individuals and companies closely connected with it.

A study of the church’s financial statements from 2009 to 2012 posted on the Charity Commission’s websites, show that approximately N403 million (£1,572,047) was paid to Love World Limited from the transmission of the church’s broadcast.

Curiously, the sole director of Love World Limited and sole shareholder is one Pastor Obiora Chiemeka who is also listed as a trustee of the church. Mr. Chiemeka was appointed a trustee in 2009, the year the church began to make the payment to his company.

The church also paid an estimated N538.5 million (£2.1 million) as grants to mostly Nigerian partner organisations between 2008 and 2012. On a closer look, PREMIUM TIMES discovered that some of the charges the payments were said to cover were arbitrary, suggesting they might have been used for other purposes other than what they were listed for.
