Kwara Govt takes over land used by Saraki family in Ilorin

Dr Bukola Saraki

The Kwara State Government has taken over a piece
of land being used by the Saraki Family in Ilorin.
A release by the Chief Press Secretary to Kwara
Governor, Rafiu Ajakaiye said on Friday that a new
secretariat would be built on the land.
Ajakaiye said the land was originally meant for
Government Secretariat and parking space of the Civil
Service Clinic, but was unlawfully allocated to a
private firm, Asa Investments Limited, without any
record of payment to the state government.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that part
of the land, situated beside the Civil Service Clinic, is
also right in front of late Dr Olusola Saraki’s
residence.
NAN also reports that the late Saraki built a house
and named it ‘Ile Arugbo’ (elderly peoples’ home).
According to the statement, no certificate of
occupancy was issued in favour of the firm.
The statement explained that the government has
now made provisions for the secretariat in the 2020
budget, although its construction will spill over to
2021.
“Hundreds of civil servants still operate from rented
apartments at a huge cost to the government.
“The new secretariat, once completed in 2021, will
definitely go a long way to end this unhealthy trend
as well as provide a more conducive and decent
working environment for government workers,” the
statement added.
Ajakaiye added that Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq
has signed a constitutional instrument withdrawing
the allocation of plots of land 1, 3 and 5 to the firm.
He said that the said land used by Saraki family was
unlawfully appropriated contrary to the purpose for
which it was meant.
The spokesman added that the governor’s decision
followed a resolution of the State House of Assembly
urging him to reclaim the land because it was
arbitrarily taken over in the 1990s without any
evidence of payment by the company, even though
the land was meant for public use.
The governor noted in the revocation order that the
land was originally meant for the construction of
another phase of the Kwara State Civil Service
Secretariat and a parking space for both the civil
service clinic and the secretariat.
The revocation order according to NAN read: “In
exercise of the powers conferred by Section 5 of the
Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as
amended) 1999 and Section 1 and 28 of the Land
Use Act Cap. L.5 of 2004 and all other powers
enabling me in that behalf, I, Mallam AbdulRahman
AbdulRazaq, Governor of Kwara State of Nigeria, give
the following notice:
“The Notice may be cited as the Land Use
(Revocation of Right of Occupancy and withdrawal of
allocation) Notice, 2019.
“Allocation of plots of land 1, 3 and 5 TPS/MISC 129
to Asa Investment (Nig) Ltd. which is meant for the
Kwara State Secretariat.
“The land, specifically and more described in survey
No. KwSH 927 and Land/G1071 situated and lying
beside Civil Service Clinic on Ilofa Road Ilorin, Kwara
State, is hereby revoked and withdrawn for overriding
public interest for use of the purpose it is originally
meant for:
“The construction of Kwara State Secretariat; parking
space for civil service clinic and the Kwara State
Secretariat and annex to the Civil Service when
upgraded to a hospital.
“That the plots allocated are hereby declared void.
Notice is therefore given to you, Asa Investments
Nigeria Limited, that the plots of land 1, 3 and 5 TPS/
MISC 129 allocated to you and any title on the land
whatsoever are hereby revoked and the allocation is
withdrawn for overriding public interest,” it read in
part.

A Nigerian, Emmanuel Mong, caught trying to
catch a flight home, is in the process of being
extradited from Washington to Stamford in
California, where he will face charges that he
illegally intercepted a $30,000 wire transfer from
Purdue Pharma.
According to Port of Seattle Police, 24 year-old
Mong of Savannah, Georgia, was trying to catch
an Emirates Airlines flight to Nigeria on Dec. 16 at
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
Seeing there was a felony warrant in his name,
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers
detained him until police arrived at Sea-Tac
Airport.
According to the report, Stamford police issued a
warrant for Mong’s arrest in 2017, charging him
with first-degree larceny, conspiracy to commit
first-degree computer crime and conspiracy to
commit criminal impersonation, with a court-
ordered appearance bond of $250,000.
Despite his protests that he has never lived in
Georgia and claims that he is not the person
wanted in the warrant, Mong is being extradited to
Stamford.
His Stamford criminal defense attorney, Allan
Friedman, said Mong is eager to clear his name.
“Mr. Mong is looking forward to coming to
Stamford and having his day in court and
presenting evidence of his innocence,” Friedman
said. “We will resolve this matter in court.”
A spokesperson from Purdue Pharma said they
had no comment on the matter.
According to Mong’s four-page arrest affidavit,
Sean Coughlin, a Stamford police financial crimes
investigator, said Purdue Pharma became the
victim of what is known as a “man-in-the-email
scam,” wherein a corporation, usually with
business connections to Africa or Asia, have their
email systems hacked by a computer virus or
some other malware.

Group reinstates demand for Leah Sharibu’s release, after 674 days in Boko Haram captivity

The Para-Mallam Peace Foundation has
reinstated its demand for the unconditional
release of the kidnapped Christian schoolgirl,
Leah Sharibu, who has been in Boko Haram
captivity for 674 days.
In its Christmas message titled “Re: Leah
Sharibu – Christmas in Captivity 2,” the
Founder/Convener of the group, Revd Gideon
Para-Mallam, called on President Muhammadu
Buhari alongside all stakeholders for
concerted efforts toward her release and
others in Boko Haram’s captivity.
The statement reads in part: “Christmas is a
time of celebration but not for Leah Sharibu,
the courageous Christian girl who will
unfortunately be spending her second
Christmas in captivity.
“Christmas is a period for family reunion,
fellowship and celebration in Africa and indeed
around the world. People are right now
celebrating but not everyone can celebrate.
“How can Leah celebrate Christmas in
captivity? How can Leah’s parents celebrate?
How can those of us who yearn to see Leah
freed celebrate?
“Feelers indicate that the Nigerian Government
is trying but her efforts have so far fallen
short. Leah is still in captivity nearly two years
on. This is unacceptable with a government in
place.
Quoting Isaiah Chapter 9: verses 6-7 from the
Holy Bible, he added: “I urge all, that we rise
again and do more to see Leah freed from her
Boko Haram captors as we enter 2020.
“Let’s work for Leah’s freedom; along with
several others like Alice Ngaddah, a young
mother of two, GraceTuka, Bitrus Zakka
Bwallah and several unnamed others.
“The conscience of the world needs to be
roused once again to work in a tireless manner
to see Leah and others freed.
“Where is the AU, UN, EU and other global
agencies who care about humanity? With all
your combined efforts and those of global
leaders, I believe something positive can be
done.
“It is inconceivable how the Nigerian
Government keeps talking with little or no
results so far to convincingly show Nigerians
and the world that they are capable of bringing
Leah home to her parents.
“It’s up to the President to show this rather
than tell! Tough talking does not set captives
free. But smart and tough action does! Let’s
not give up and surely, we must not give in
also.
“Leah Sharibu as at today December 25th,
2019, you have spent 674 days in captivity. But
be encouraged, one day you will be set free by
the special grace of God. Your freedom will
surely come.”
