Trump issues pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer after insider trading conviction    President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer, who served nearly two years in prison after being convicted of insider trading tied to post-congressional consulting work. Buyer was sentenced in 2023 to 22 months in prison for illegal stock trades made while working as a consultant and lobbyist. He was ordered to forfeit more than $350,000 in ill-gotten gains and pay a $10,000 fine. He was released from custody in 2025 after his conviction was upheld, with the Supreme Court declining to take up his appeal earlier this year.

COURT REMANDS 2 MEN FOR ALLEGEDLY STEALING SAND IN BENUE




A Makurdi Chief Magistrates’ Court, on Wednesday, ordered the remand of Ibrahim Mohammed and Adamu Mohammed at the Nigeria Correctional Service Centre, Makurdi for alleged conspiracy and stealing of sand worth N6 million.


The men, who lived at Wadata in Makurdi, were charged with criminal conspiracy, criminal trespass, mischief and theft.


When the case was read, the duo pleaded guilty to the charges against them.


However, the Chief Magistrate, Mr Kelvin Mbanongun, reserved judgment until February 6.


Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Insp. Jonah Uletu, told the court that the defendants were arrested and brought to the station on January 13 in their white Hi-Jet mini truck, with registration number BKB 969 AA, by one Prof. Nina Waapela of Benue State University.


Uletu said that Waapela stated at the police station that the defendants, with one other man now at large, had trespassed into her 300 by 100 feet land, situated at Yaikyo Village, Makurdi many times and excavated sand worth N6 million.


He also said that the complainant stated that the defendants had sold the sand to buyers without her consent.


He pointed out that luck, however, ran out on them on January 13, and they were caught in the act, but the third person escaped into the bush.


He further said that the complainant stated that the invasion of her land by the defendants had caused serious gully erosion to the land.


Uletu said that the offences contravened sections 97, 353, 329, and 288 of the penal code laws of Benue, 2004.
