Pastor, 15 others Arrested for printing, circulating fake naira notes

The Department of State Security Service, SSS, in Lokoja, Kogi on Tuesday announced the arrest of a syndicate, including a pastor, for the alleged printing and circulation of fake naira notes.

The Director of SSS, Mike Fubara, who presented the suspects to journalists, said the syndicate included 15 others, including the pastor’s six children.

He named the pastor as Godson Akubuiro, the General Overseer of The Mountain of Breakthrough Deliverance Ministry, Lagos.

Mr. Fubara said the SSS in its effort to trace the source of the “worrisome fake naira currency in circulation in the state,” undertook a covert operation to uncover those behind the act.

“This operation took the service close to four months before a breakthrough resulting in the arrest of the 16-man syndicate led by Reverend Godson O. Akubuiro,” the director said. He said that the operation took security agents to The Breakthrough Church, also known as Land of Solution, located at Agric, Ikorodu, Lagos.

He said that the suspects were being investigated preparatory to their prosecution. The director said items recovered from the suspects include equipment and materials used in printing fake currencies.

Other items recovered were a large quantity of printed fake notes, cut to size blank currency notes and N1.3 million fake naira notes. Mr. Fubara urged the public to be wary of the fake naira notes in circulation and report suspects to the service.

Mr. Akubuiro, however, told journalists that he was not using the money for himself but in supporting the less privileged and the needy in his congregation. He pleaded for leniency, saying men of God were often tempted like King David in the bible, who as a man after God’s heart fell many times but was still pardoned by God.

Obasanjo’s letter: I’m not training snipers, says Asari-Dokubo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s allegation that President Goodluck Jonathan is training snipers keeps generating the heat.

Although, Obasanjo did not name anybody, the founder of the militant Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force (NDPV), Alhaji Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, thinks he is the one the former president was referring to. Asari-Dokubo was recently detained in the Republic of Benin.

 He said yesterday that he was not training snipers either in Nigeria or abroad for the presidency.

He said although Obasanjo should be bold enough to indict him for a response. Asari-Dokubo said he was neither flown in a private jet nor in a presidential jet after being investigated by security agencies in Benin Republic. He said he flew to Abuja from Lagos in an Aero Contractors plane.

 He said the last time he enjoyed the luxury of a presidential jet was when Obasanjo sent one to fly him from the creeks as part of the search for solutions to the crisis in the Niger Delta. He admitted that he had a problem in Benin Republic following what he called a false security alarm and the Federal Government waded in.

Asari-Dokubo, who spoke exclusively with our correspondent, said he was only suspected of being a Boko Haram leader in Benin Republic and after investigations by Beninoise authorities, he was let off. He said: “I don’t know what is called snipers; I will revisit my dictionary for the meaning of snipers.

“I am not training snipers for either the Presidency or anybody. If ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo wants to point a finger at me, I will know the path to take or the relevant authorities to contact. “I have not seen my name mentioned directly by anybody, but I know what to do if this is so. “If I am being invited by security agencies on issues that have to do with denting my image, I know what to do.”

Asked why he was arrested, Asari-Dokubo said: “Information reached Beninoise security agencies that I was a Boko Haram leader. And from all investigations, they said they did not find any clue linking me with Boko Haram.

“Some people gave Benin Republic false information to see that Dokubo dies before the 2015 general election. So, we are in a political era and from all investigations, my encounter in Benin Republic had to do with politics.” On how he returned to his base in Abuja from Benin Republic, Asari-Dokubo said: “I came in through Aero Contractors plane from Lagos to Abuja. Many people were on board and they saw me.

“I was not flown into the country either in a private or presidential jet at all. “I had problem in Benin Republic and the government waded in the matter because nothing incriminating was found against me.” Responding to a question, the founder of the NDPV said: “If I was nobody, why did ex-President Obasanjo send a private jet to convey me to Abuja from Port Harcourt to negotiate for militants? ” Nation

INEC plans presidential poll, others for Jan. 2015

Barring any last-minute change of plan, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will lift the ban on campaigns either in August or September, next year.

The commission is contemplating conducting all elections, including the presidential poll, between January and February 2015.

All political parties are expected to submit lists of candidates they propose to sponsor not later than 60 days before the date appointed for a general election.

The parties may have either late October or November 2014 deadline to submit their lists of candidates. INEC has started preparations for the 2015 elections, beginning with the issuance of permanent voters’ cards and putting in place card readers.

A major challenge before INEC, however, is getting set for the general election, which will come up between January and February 2015. A source, who spoke with our correspondent, said there was no doubt that the campaign for offices in 2015 will kick off in 2014.

The source said INEC was trying to adopt the recommendation of the Justice Muhammadu Uwais Electoral Reform Committee to conduct elections early to allow time for litigation.

The source said: “I think all things being equal, the commission may allow campaign for offices to begin either in August or September 2014. “We are not pretending that we are going into a year of preparations for elections. At least a substantial part of half of the year will be countdown to the 2015 elections.

“The parties need to conduct primaries before they can submit the list of candidates to the commission. So, there must be campaign. “August or September campaign kick-off appears to be the most visible timeframe since Section 31 of the Electoral Act allows a party to submit its list of candidates at least 60 days to the poll.

“We are also aware that politicians might take advantage of some elections in some states to begin campaigns in earnest. What we will do is that we will enforce the law strictly to avoid the process being muddled up.”

The source also said Section 99(1) of the Electoral Act 2010 (As Amended), allows INEC to allow campaign at least 90 days before any poll. The Section says: “For the purpose of this Act, the period of campaigning in public by every political party shall commence 90 days before polling day and end 24 hours prior to that day.”

The source said as soon as INEC comes up with a clear picture of its plans, the parties would be notified of the allowable campaign period. The source said: “We are planning to hold elections between January and February 2015.

The luck we have is that the Electoral Act provides a window for INEC to determine the dates to fix for elections. “If you look at Section 25 of the Electoral Act, INEC is expected to organise elections 150 days or 30 days before the expiration of the tenure of office of any holder.”

The Section, which applies to all political offices, reads: “An election to the office of the President (as applicable to all offices) shall be held on a date to be appointed by the Independent National Electoral Commission in accordance with the constitution and this Act. “

An election to the said office of the President (as applicable to all offices) shall be held on a date not earlier than 150 days and not later than 30 days before the expiration of the term of office of the last holder of that office.”

 Responding to a question, the source said the Electoral Act says “every party shall, not later than 60 days before the date appointed for a general election, submit to the commission in the prescribed forms, the list of candidates the party proposes to sponsor at the elections, provided that the commission shall not reject or disqualify candidate(s) for any reason whatsoever.”

Chief Press Secretary to INEC chairman, Mr. Kayode Idowu, said: “The 2015 elections will be held between January and February 2015. We are projecting towards that. “We are determined to make all elections as transparent as possible.” Nation

2014 and the Lessons in Gender and Leadership, By Adeshola Komolafe

Those were the words of a lecturer whom my company had hired to work with us on a project. My company – Media Insight- had just won a bid to run a baseline survey for an international organization and my team and thought it was best we bring in a consultant from the university environment to work with us on the project.

Considering that I had a great team, I didn’t have to be fully involved, so I stepped aside to focus on other projects, leaving the baseline survey in the hands of my competent team. Beyond speaking to the lecturer on phone and exchanging a couple of emails, I didn’t get to meet the lecturer face-to-face until after about three months into his consultancy. Whenever we spoke on phone, he would say, ‘You travel too much. Ehnn, must you always travel? It will be nice to put a face to the voice.’

And I will jokingly reply, ‘Ah! I’m just a 50 year old woman trying to grow a business and my hair is all grey from that.’ About three months into the project, the lecturer and I finally met. It was a very brief and awkward meeting. As part of the baseline survey, we had to hold a Focus Group Discussion and that served as an opportunity to meet with him. It was obvious he was shocked that I was not as old as he had assumed or maybe not as old as I have constantly joked about.

 If he had attempted to hide his disapproval of discovering that I was younger than I had joked, the expression on his face didn’t help much. Immediately after the event, I rushed to the airport and as I was about boarding, I got a phone call from him. And he said, ‘You should have waited for us to have lunch together’. ‘Oh! I’m so so sorry. I have to catch a flight to Kano. We can fix a date once I return’ I replied. He went on, ‘Deshola, I am a chauvinist. I don’t believe in women aspiring to high positions.

Women are supposed to sit at home and look after the children. A woman’s place is in her husband’s house. I don’t understand you! If not for the respect I have come to have for your company, I won’t be working for you. You are too young for all this.’ Oh dear! This is 2013. Who does that? Here comes 2014, how many Mr. Lecturers do we have out there? How many men still believe a woman’s place is tied to the kitchen. Who will help men like Mr. Lecturer wake up from their outdated thinking? There are thousands of sisters out there that dream big. They dream of becoming great entrepreneurs like Ibukun Awosika, Modupe Abudu, Tara Durotoye, Adenike Ogunlesi amongst several others.

So many young women dream to rise and take leadership positions like Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Justice Aloma Mukhtar, Hajiya Amina Az-Zubair So, what difference will 2014 make for young female entrepreneurs or aspiring entrepreneurs if by the end of the year Nigeria does not have a policy that is meant to guide and encourage young female entrepreneurs? If in this age, several highly educated men still believe that a woman’s place is solely in the kitchen then Nigeria is truly in a terrible situation.

How can we salvage the situation? It is important to note that there are millions of men like Mr. Lecturer and that is why as a young entrepreneur who works hard to make a living, there are still certain places you can’t walk into without a man by your side. Recently, I was called for an impromptu meeting and the call came in while I was driving with a female colleague, so we made a quick stop at the venue of the meeting – which was a small meeting.

When the convener saw us, he said, ‘Deshola, where are the men on your team? You need to call them. We can’t have the meeting without the men!’ And to think that I am the CEO of the company and employer of the men! Oh please! In 2013? Yikes.

I can’t help wondering what will be different for young female entrepreneurs in the New Year. Nigeria is yet to have policies that will support us. Government efforts are still scattered. There is no inter-ministerial council that will coordinate what now looks like piecemeal efforts of government that are meant to support young female entrepreneurs.

I hope in 2014, Nigeria will create polices that will see to the emergence of more young female entrepreneurs. I dream that when such policies are considered, young women will be given the opportunity to shape the policy in line with the required values that we hope for.

I hope Nigeria and Nigerians will create platforms for mentorships of young female entrepreneurs across the 36 states of the federation. I hope in 2014, we will have an inter-ministerial council that will watch over the affairs of young female entrepreneurs as put forward by the government.

I hope that in 2014, men like Mr. Lecturer will have reasons to begin to think differently about young female entrepreneurs.

After all, all we need is just space to contribute to the economic development of our country and to provide options besides what the men have to offer. Ms. Komolafe is chief executive of Media Insight, a communication business outfit based in Abuja premiumtimesng.com
