 Sahel alliance recalls ambassadors from Algeria after the downing of a Malian drone A military alliance between Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger withdrew their respective ambassadors from Algeria in response to the downing of a Malian drone last week, the group said late Sunday, AP reported. The Alliance of Sahel States, which goes by its French acronym AES, blamed Algeria on social media for the drone’s downing and condemned it as an “irresponsible act” that violated international law. The act was “contrary to historical relations and fraternal relations between the peoples of the AES Confederation and the Algerian people,” the group said. Malian Prime Minister Gen. Abdoulaye Maiga, in a statement on the Malian Foreign Ministry’s social media, denied claims by the Algerian government that the drone had violated Algeria’s airspace by over 2 kilometers (1.2 miles). He claimed that “this action proves, if proof were needed, that the Algerian regime sponsors international terrorism.” Mal...

COURT JAILS FOUR OIL THIEVES IN LAAGOS,FORFEITS VESSEL TO FG.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.

-

 

The Lagos Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has secured the conviction and sentencing of four oil thieves and a vessel, MV Tim Begele, before Justice A.M. Liman of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos.
The convicts, Ukwuoma Ahamefula, Omeogor Nelson, Efemuaya Evans and Jude Eghreriniovo, were arrested sometime in December 2019 on board a vessel, MV Tim Begele, by the Nigerian Navy and subsequently handed over to the EFCC for further investigation and prosecution.
They were, however, arraigned alongside the vessel on March 4,2020 on a three-count charge bordering on illegal dealing in 369 metric tons of Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) without appropriate license, to which they initially pleaded not guilty.
One of the counts reads: “ That you, MV Tim Begele, Ukwuoma Ahamefula, Omeogor Nelson, Efemuaya Evans, Jude Eghreriniovo and others now at large on the 3rd of December, 2019, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, conspired among yourselves to commit an offence to wit: dealing in 3,911 metric tons of petroleum products without appropriate licence; and you, thereby, committed an offence contrary to Section 3(6) of the Miscellaneous Offences Act, Cap M17, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 and punishable under Section 1(17) of the same Act.”
However, on November 25, 2020, the defendants changed their plea from ‘’not guilty’ to ‘guilty’.
Consequently, the defendants were convicted accordingly by the court.
Justice Liman, in a short ruling, ordered that the terms of imprisonment of the convicts would run retrospectively from the date of the arrest to November 25, 2020.
The Judge also ordered the vessel and the product aboard to be forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
