 Alia’s car gift to Benue judiciary in order – Attorney General The Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice and Public Order of Benue State, Hon. Barr. Fidelis Mnyim has said the car gift to the judiciary by Governor Hyacinth Alia is a symbol of support and commitment as promised when he assumed office. Barr Mnyim was reacting to a query posed by Prof. Ernest Ojukwu, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, in a tweet on Monday, 7th May 2024, challenging the viability of the autonomy granted to Benue State Judiciary if the State governor was still buying cars for them. MAGIC FM recalls that Governor Alia donated six (SUV) vehicles recently to the judiciary. The Professor had wondered why Governor Alia of Benue State should procure vehicles for the state’s judiciary when the funds allocated to the judiciary could be utilized for that purpose. The Attorney General of the State said that the procurement of vehicles for the judiciary constituted an additional benevolent gesture by the Governor.

NSCDC LAGOS STATE COMMAND ANTI - VANDAL UNIT UNCOVERS ILLEGAL OIL DUMP SITE, APPREHENDS SUSPECTED PERPETRATORS AND RECOVERS EXHIBITS.


Commandant Eweka Okoro avows his unflinching commitment to the vision of the Commandant General, in relations to the eradication of illegal dealings in petroleum products and all forms of economic sabotage in Lagos state.

The Commandant General (CG), Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), CG Ahmed Abubakar Audi PhD, mni, has recently reiterated his vow to stamp out oil pipeline vandalism, illegal oil bunkering, illegal dealings in petroleum products, illegal mining of solid and natural minerals and other disheartening forms of economic sabotage, being perpetrated by criminal elements, in our dear nation.

In line with the charge of the CG above, the Commandant, NSCDC, Lagos State Command, Commandant Eweka Edenabu Okoro, has earlier today, Friday, 22nd July, 2022, ordered the parade of suspected oil thieves, apprehended by the Anti - Vandal unit of the Command, in connection to the operation of illegal bunkering site used for the adulteration of Automotive Gas Oil ( AGO ) also known as diesel, in a large quantity at No. 5 Abayomi Estate, Olusosun, bus stop, in the Oregun axis of Ikeja, Lagos .

According to the gallant Anti - Vandal unit, of the Command, the illegal bunkering site was stormed at about 15: 20hrs, yesterday, Thursday, 21st July, 2022, when the Anti - Vandal team on routine and surveillance patrol caught up with about six ( 6 ) suspected oil thieves, who were caught while attempting to load a forty thousand ( 40,000 ) capacity truck, with suspected adulterated AGO, also known as diesel at the site .

The Anti - Vandal Unit, of the Lagos State Command, upon bursting the illegal bunkering site, where it was discovered that AGO was being illegally stored, adulterated and used for commercial purposes, also arrested and recoverd the following persons and items respectively :

(i) six ( 6 ) suspects; four ( 4 ) male and two ( 2 ) female; Babatunde Adedayo (m) 35yrs, John Eric (m) 35yrs, Jude Uwosa (m) 51yrs, Sodiq Olawale (m) 27yrs, Neat John (f) 20yrs and Isaac Anita (f) 32yrs.
(ii) A truck ( Scania - white colour ), with plate number FS7737XF 
(iii) 2 pumping machines and both empty drums and filled drums, with suspected adulterated AGO discovered at the site.

The Commandant, NSCDC, Lagos State Command, Commandant Eweka Edenabu Okoro had also since directed immediately that the arrested suspects be brought for adequate interogation and investigation, in the Intelligence and Investigation (INT) Department , at the State Command Headquarters in Alausa, Ikeja, before further legal action will be taken on the matter.

The Anti - vandal unit of the Command has also been directed by the Commandant to take full charge of the illegal bunkering site immediately, so as to forestall any further untoward activity by these economic saboteurs of our collective commonwealth.

Finally, Commandant Eweka Okoro, while addressing news men at the site, earlier this morning, wondered at the shameful act by citizens, who are perceived to be honourable, considering the environment ( gated estate ), where the act was being perpetrated. However, he avowed his unflinching commitment to the vision and mission of the Commandant General, CG Ahmed Abubakar Audi, PhD, mni, in relations to the eradication of illegal dealings in petroleum products and all forms of economic sabotage in the state and nation. 

The Commandant also said, "he seized this opportunity to warn oil thieves in the state to desist from the inimical act capable of sabotaging the nation's economy with the disturbing untoward experiences it could bring upon the ordinary citizens of our nation." 

"He however, warned that failure of the unrepentant vandals and oil thieves to desist from the act will be meted with stiffer actions from the Command, which may eventually lead the culprits to face the full wrath of the law."
