The captain of a sea tow boat heard the distress call and rushed to provide aid. He was able to quickly locate the burning boat and  discovered 40-year-old, Ryan Deiter, and his dog onboard the burning ship. Wasting no time, the captain of the sea tow boat was able to maneuver alongside the distressed boat and begin efforts to extricate Deiter and his dog from the doomed vessel.  Eventually, the sea tow captain was able to pull both Deiter and his dog onboard the tow boat. However, once Deiter was pulled to safety, he repaid a stranger's kindness with treachery.  Deiter shoved the captain from his own boat and fled the scene in the stolen boat, leaving the man who had just risked his own vessel and life...

Reps To Probe COVID-19 Funds Disbursement In MDAs


The House of Representatives has mandated the Public Accounts Committee to investigate the expenditure of funds appropriated or 

disbursed as COVID19 intervention to Ministries, Departments and Agencies of the Federal Government from 2020 to 2022.


This was sequel to the adoption of a motion by a member from Adamawa State Mr Nyampa Zakari, on the need to investigate the alleged mismanagement of the funds, at plenary.


The Lawmaker stated that the Federal Government initiated several measures, including budgetary provisions as well as funding from International donor agencies to combat the COVID19 pandemic on the citizens. 


He said a sum of N83.9 Billion was appropriated for the COVID-19 response in the 2020 Appropriation Act as well as another sum of over N100 Billion Naira as intervention funds through supplementary budget and international donor agencies. 


"Notes that the COVID–19pandemic disrupted economic activities, leading toglobal measures such as lockdowns, travel restrictions, business closures, and government shutdowns to control the virus's spread. 


"Cognizant that the disruption of economic activities necessitated the introduction of various programs, 

policies, and interventions to alleviate and boost the economies of families, small businesses, and 

public corporations. 


According to him, the Auditor-General's report and other sources revealed that significant funds for COVID-19 palliatives and international donations were diverted and unaccounted for by various Ministries, Departments and Agencies of Government. 


Zakari expressed concern that the lack of proper accountability of funds allocated for COVID19 intervention by the Federal Government and global donor agencies could potentially lead to negative economic ratings and loss of opportunities for Nigeria. 


The committee is to report back within 4 weeks for further legislative action.
