How I Transferred N1.2bn From Obanikoro Son’s Account – Bank Staff

Fajuyitan made this revelation in his statement at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s office, Punch reports.
The EFCC had invited the banker for questioning as part of investigations into the N4.7bn that was allegedly paid into Obanikoro’s son’s account by the Office of the National Security Adviser in June 2014.

He said the money was paid into the account named, Sylvan McNamara, with number 0026223714.
The account has since been frozen by the anti-graft agency.
Fajuyitan also told detectives that on June 16, 2014, he was given an instruction by the bank’s Head of Operations, Mr. Premier Oiwoh, to transfer N1.2bn to some accounts.
He said, “On June 16, 2014, my boss, Premier Oiwoh, told me to do a transaction for Sylvan McNamara. The instruction was for the payment of N1.2bn.
“The customer’s physical instruction was that its account number, 0026223714, be debited with N1.2bn and pay the following people: Saturaki Bello, N200m; Yusuf Bulama, N120m; Chimenum Njoku, N250m; Franklin Tolani, N150m; Josiah Moses, N280; and Abubakar Sadiq Zanna, N200m.
“My supervisor (Oiwoh) asked me to provide the funds for the Cash-In-Transit unit for onward payment to the beneficiaries.”
It was gathered that the cash, which was originally released for the six beneficiaries, was handed over to Gbolahan under the pretence that the six persons could not be located.
Damola Otuyalo, the Head of Cash-in-Transit Services, had told the EFCC that after receiving the money from the treasury unit, he was unable to pay the six beneficiaries the money and his director (Oiwoh) then instructed him to move the N1.2bn to the private wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos on June 17.
Otuyalo had said, “The beneficiaries were not available to be paid as I did not see them and I was later directed by Mr. Premier Oiwoh to move the money to the airport where I will be given further instruction.
“We moved the cash to the airport through the Cash-In-Transit vendor, Bankers Warehouse Limited. I contacted the vendor who made the bullion van available for movement. I personally supervised the loading of the money into the bullion van and escorted them to the airport.”

FG Resumes Payment To Ex-Militants

The Federal Government have resumed the delayed payments to former militants in the oil-rich Niger River delta, addressing some grievances amid attacks that cut crude production close to a 30-year low.

This is contained in a statement by the coordinator of the presidential amnesty program, Paul Boroh as he said about 30,000 ex-fighters, who were receiving a 65,000 naira monthly stipend, were told the government would resume paying stipends after a two-month “hiccup.”
Meanwhile, the Federal Government has also said it is trying to engage militants to establish a cease-fire after oil output fell to 1.4 million barrels a day, Minister of State for Petroleum Resources Emmanuel Kachikwu said on Monday.
Following several years of relative calm, the attacks by the Delta Avengers started in February after president Buhari announced the suspension of security contracts and payments that had turned earlier militants into protectors.
Boroh said he had given assurance to the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta militants that their patience was appreciated by President Muhammadu Buhari, who backs the amnesty and plans to invest heavily in the region.
The amnesty program is set to end in 2017 and the government earlier this year said it planned to cut financing by half to about $100 million.

Chief Priest Kills Daughter In Akwa Ibom

The Akwa Ibom State Police Command yesterday arrested a 30-year-old chief priest, Eno Akpan, for allegedly killing his 1-year old daughter after striking her back and head with a machete.

Eno, who is said to be the custodian of Ikot Akpan Udo village in the Ikot Abasi Local Government Area, was said to have beat his wife up during a quarrel according to Akwa-Ibom state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Murtala Mani.
Mr. Mani through the state Police Public Relations Officer, Cordelia Nwawe, said, “on July 23, at 7.30pm, the complainant, Blessing, had a misunderstanding with her husband, Eno Akpan. In the process, the husband beat her up.
“She left the house for her mother’s place, leaving her daughter behind. The husband asked her to return home to take the child along, but she refused. The husband then used a machete to inflict cuts on the back and head of their daughter. She died on the spot.”
Eno while confessing to the crime said he had a disagreement with his wife after she returned home late from the market where she sold oysters.
According to him, he used his fists on her, but by the time he picked up a machete to strike her, it cut through their daughter.
He said, “She went to sell oysters in the market. When she came back, I tried to inquire why she came back late and that it was becoming a habit for her to return home late from the market.
“Her reply incensed me and I had no other option than to beat her. The moment I picked up a machete to strike her, she threw my daughter at me and the machete landed on her head and back.”
Mr. Mani noted that investigation was ongoing concerning the matter.

Satanic School Given Go-Ahead Across US

This week, a temple which worships ‘Satan’ has begun to roll out its extra-curricular clubs across the US.

The Satanic Temple has already seen 9 schools sign up as it plans to bring Lucifer to young children across the world.
However, the extra-curricular programme is an audacious response to a Supreme Court ruling allowing evangelical religious programmes to operate in schools.
The Satanic Temple (TST) is targeting at the Good News Club, a Christian programme for five to 12-year-olds operating in over 3,500 public schools across the US.
TST hopes to counter this evangelical message of “a fear of Hell and God’s wrath” with “rationality, free inquiry, and fun”.
The Satanists do not worship Satan because the temple does not promote belief in a supernatural devil.
Instead, the Temple uses Satan as a metaphor for rebellion and rational inquiry
The Satanists say they are “not interested in operating After School Satan Clubs in school districts that are not already hosting the Good News Club.”
A spokesperson for TST, nicknamed Lucien Greaves, said After School Satan clubs will bring diversity to the religious opinions children are exposed to in school.
He said: “We prefer to give children an appreciation of the natural wonders surrounding them, not a fear of everlasting other-worldly horrors.”
The club meetings will include a healthy snack, literature lesson, creative learning activities, puzzle solving, a science lesson, and an art project.
He also added: “It’s critical that children understand that there are multiple perspectives on all issues and that they have a choice in how they think.”
Mat Staver, from the Liberty Counsel, admitted TST’s planned clubs are lawful but added he believes the clubs will be poorly attended and fade away.
He said: “I would definitely oppose after-school Satanic clubs, but they have a First Amendment right to meet.
“It’s probably dust they’re kicking up and is likely to fade away in the near future for lack of interest.

Interpol Arrests Fraudster Who Scammed People Of £45m In Port-Harcourt

A Nigerian man accused of being the ringleader of an online fraud network that scammed more than $60m (£45m) from companies around the world has been arrested after months of investigation, Interpol said.

The 40-year-old, known only as Mike, was arrested in June along with a 38-year-old in the Nigerian oil capital of Port Harcourt.
He is accused of scamming hundreds of victims and running a network of at least 40 people working from Nigeria, Malaysia, and South Africa.
The man is also said to have money-laundering contacts in China, Europe, and the US, who provided bank account details for the illicit cash flow.
“In one case, a target was conned into paying out $15.4m,” Interpol said. “The network compromised email accounts of small to medium businesses around the world including Australia, Canada, India, Malaysia, Romania, South Africa, Thailand and the United States.”
The scams included a supplier’s email being compromised and fake messages sent to a buyer with instructions for payment to a bank account under the network’s control, or the email account of a high-level executive being taken over and a request for a wire transfer sent to an employee responsible for handling such requests.
Noboru Nakatani, the executive director of the Interpol Global Complex for Innovation, said such crime “poses a significant and growing threat, with tens of thousands of companies victimised in recent years”. The public, and especially businesses, he added, needed to be alert to this type of cyber-enabled fraud.
The arrest was carried out with the support of Nigeria’s anti-fraud agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
“Following his arrest in Port Harcourt in southern Nigeria, a forensic examination of devices seized by the EFCC showed he [the suspect] had been involved in a range of criminal activities, including business email compromise and romance scams,” Interpol said.
The suspects face charges including hacking, conspiracy and obtaining money under false pretences. They are on bail pending further investigation.
