 AAC SEEK FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO ON SOWORE IN EKITI The African Action Congress, AAC, has called for further investigation into the reported attack on Omoyele Sowore and other party members in Ekiti State, despite the arrest of eleven suspects. In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Rex Elanu, the AAC says new video footage has emerged which it believes could help identify more persons involved in the incident. The party has expressed concern over the handling of CCTV recordings from the restaurant where the incident occurred, and alleges that some stolen phones were traced to the governor's lodge in Ekiti State. It is seeking an independent investigation into these claims, the handling of recovered items and the circumstances surrounding the incident. The AAC has also called for the arrest and prosecution of any other persons found to have been involved, and demanded an investigation into the conduct of any security officers who may have acted unprofessionally.

 Court Jails One For Forgery In Port Harcourt 

 

Justice A .T. Mohammed of the Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State has convicted and sentenced Sokaribo Johnbull to seven months imprisonment for forgery.


Johnbull was arraigned by the Port Harcourt Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on two-count charges bordering on forgery contrary to Section 1(2) (c) of the Miscellaneous offences Act, CAP M17, of the Revised Edition, (Laws of the Federation of Nigeria) 2007 and punishable under the same Act.


One of the count charge read:


"That you Sokaribo Johnbull on or about the 4th day of August, 2016, at Port Harcourt within the jurisdiction of this honourable court forged a document titled ‘Certificate of Occupancy’ with Certificate number RSG 016878, with intent that it may be acted upon as genuine by the Deputy Chief Registrar of the Federal High Court, Port Harcourt for the perfection of bail conditions of one Uche Samuel and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1(2) (c) of the Miscellaneous offences Act, CAP M17, of the Revised edition , (Laws of the Federation of Nigeria) 2007 and punishable under the same Act.


He pleaded guilty to the charges. 


 In view of his plea, prosecution counsel A. Chukwueggu prayed the court to convict and sentence the defendant accordingly.  Defence counsel,  I. O. S. Mkpuma  prayed the court to temper justice with mercy,  stressing that the defendant has learnt his lessons. 


Justice Mohammed convicted and sentenced Johnbull  to seven months  imprisonment, with an option of fine of Five Hundred Thousand Naira (N500,000.00) payable into the Treasury Single Account,  TSA,   of the  Federal Government.


Johnbull's journey to the Correctional Centre started when the Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt petitioned the EFCC,  alleging a case of forgery, perjury and impersonation against him.  He  allegedly forged a Certificate of Occupancy  issued to secure the bail of  Uche Samuel.  The allegation was investigated and found to be true.
