 Anti-Tinubu comments: ACF suspends chairman as Afenifere, others back President The Arewa Consultative Forum on Thursday suspended its chairman Mamman Osuman following widespread reactions across the country, after the northern body’s criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s policies, saying it had impoverished the North. The ACF, in a statement, added that the interests of the North would be best represented by northerners. However, Yoruba socio-political Afenifere, Igbo socio-cultural body Ohanaeze Ndigbo and other regional groups backed the President insisting his predecessor Muhammadu Buhari laid the marker for the hardship in the country. In a communiqué issued at the conclusion of the forum’s National Executive Council meeting in Kaduna on Wednesday, the ACF expressed dissatisfaction with the current economic policies, which, according to the forum, worsened conditions in Northern Nigeria. The communiqué, signed by ACF’s National Publicity Secretary, Prof. Tukur Muhammad-Baba, also

 Lagos Court Jails Man Eight Years For N62m Land Fraud


Justice I.O. Ijelu of the Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja, on Wednesday, October 2, 2024, convicted and  sentenced one Abodurin Gerald Abozo to eight years imprisonment for land fraud.


Abozo was arraigned on October 15, 2023 on a two-count charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretence, contrary to Section 1(3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006; and stealing, contrary to Section 287 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2015.


Count one reads: “Abodurin Gerald Abozos (doing business in the name and style of S.G.B. & As Property Lines Company), sometime in 2013 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, with intent to defraud, obtained the sum of N62,000,000.00 (Sixty-two Million Naira) from Engineer Samuel Segher, under the false pretext, that you have two plots of land for sale at Chevy Estate Ojomu Chieftaincy Family land, Lagos, and the said amount represented the purchase price, a representation you knew to be false.”


Count two reads: “Abodurin Gerald Abozos, (doing business in the name and style of S.G.B. & A Property Lines Company), sometime in 2013 at lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, dishonestly converted to your use the aggregate sum of N62,000, 000.00 (Sixty-two Million Naira), property of Engineer Samuel Segher".


He pleaded “not guilty” to the charges when they were read to him, thereby leading to his full trial.


In the course of trial,  prosecution counsel, M. S. Owede, called two witnesses and tendered several documents, including the extra-judicial statement of the convict, which were all admitted in evidence by the court.


Delivering judgment, Justice Ijelu sentenced the defendant to seven years imprisonment on count one and one year on count two, without an option of fine.


The convict was ordered to make restitution of the sum of N62m to the victim.


Abozo’s journey to the Correctional Centre began when he was arrested for obtaining the sum of N62million from Engineer Samuel Segher in the guise of selling two plots of land to him. He neither delivered the land nor returned his money to him.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff.
