Femi Falana Says Senates Can’t Compel Customs Boss, Hameed Ali To Wear Uniform
Human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), has stated categorically that Senate lacks the power to compel Hameed Ali to wear Customs uniform.
Falana said there was no law stipulating that the Comptroller-General of Customs must wear the Nigerian Custom Service’s uniform.
He added that, although Ali was the Comptroller-General of Customs, the retired military officer was not a member of the service.
Speaking with Punch, Falana said, “With respect to the customs service, its officers are required to wear uniforms. But since the CGC is not a serving customs officer the senate lacks the vires to force him to wear any uniform.
“The suit challenging the legal validity of Col. Hameed Ali’s appointment has been dismissed on the ground that the President has the power to appoint a non-customs officer to head the customs service. Since the court has held that he is not a customs officer, Col. Ali cannot be made to wear any uniform.
"I challenge the Senate to refer to any law that supports the wearing of uniform by the head of customs service, who is not a serving customs officer".
Falana added that customs officers are not being made to wear uniforms in other countries including South Africa.
He said, “In many countries, including South Africa, customs officers do not wear uniforms.
“In Nigeria they wear uniforms because under the defunct military junta security agencies claimed that they were either military or paramilitary forces. It was part of the intimidation of the civilian population.”

Oyo State Government FRSC Make New Rules On Okada Riders (See Photos)
Today is the last day any commercial motorcycle rider can operate without a valid licence and crash helmet in Oyo state, according to the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC).
The commission has vowed it will deal decisively with defaulters, including those operating without a registration plate.
A communique from a safety awareness programmed organised by the community relations unit of the state government which had in attendance the Oyo Governor Isiaq Ajimobi insisted that motorcycles being used for Okada must be road worthy and must have the two side mirrors fixed on them.
Accordingly, operators must provide helmets for their passengers, will carry only one passenger at a time without any loading, and alcohol will no longer be sold in motor parks.
"Oyo State Government does not intend to ban okada riders but we are charged with the responsibility to protect the lives of our citizenry and that is why we need to partner with law enforcement agencies to enforce the usage of helmet. They must be cautious on the highway and must begin to use helmet,” the governor said through a representative.
'Thousands of helmets were distributed to them last year but we observe that some of them are not using it and are keeping it at home. They also engage on overload thereby endangering the lives of their passengers and creating social problems. All this are causing overstretching of government facilities in hospitals."
Oyo Sector Commander of the FRSC, Yussuf Salami, said: "Any Okada rider caught without helmet is fined N10, 000 but I think if we can increase the fine in partnership with the Oyo State Government, so many Okada rider will adhere strictly to the rules and regulation. Many Okada riders in this state needs attitudinal change and are inpatient. They are even ungrateful to government because they should have banned them.
"If we now charge them N30, 000 for non-usage of safety helmet, I know they will change. I will even advice the state government to state conducting psychiatric test on them because most of them behave abnormal while riding. Even Okada riders unions unit that ought to discipline their members are only interested in their daily dues. So many deaths has been recorded in this state from Okada accidents"
He urged the state government to have a database for all Okada riders in the state and give them same uniform in order to curb crimes.
Similarly, the Special Adviser to the Government on Community Relations, Alhaji Abidemi Siyanbade said a typical Okada rider is not patient, adding that they ride the Okada as if they are the only people using the road.
He said: "Another appalling habit of Okada riders is harassment of other road users especially anytime there is an accident involving one of them. Whether they are guilty or not, they will want to solidarise with their fellow Okada rider involved in an accident and in the process, harass and threaten other road users"
Father Who Got Arrested Says He Swallowed 66 Wraps of Drug In Other To Save His Dying Son
When 43yrs old Anukaenyi Bob-Manuel Ogochukwu was caught on the suspicion of being a drug courier at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos on Wednesday, he initially denied having anything to do with drugs.
NDLEA Commander at the Lagos airport, Ahmadu Garba, said the suspect was apprehended during the inward screening of passengers on an Ethiopian Airline flight from Nairobi.
Spokesperson for the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, said that hours after he was placed in seclusion and under observation, Ogochukwu excreted 66 wraps of heroine weighing 1.1kg.
That was when he started to beg officials of the agency.
The suspect, who was returning from Nairobi, Kenya, said his four-year-old son was on hospital admission over a life threatening ailment.
Ogochukwu, an Anambra State indigene, explained that he decided to smuggle the drugs to save the life of his son.
He said, “I teach in a computer school at Onitsha, Anambra State. This is my very first time of having anything to do with drugs.
"The doctor said that my child has a hole in the heart. I met many people for help but nobody was willing to help me except a drug baron. My son is currently at a hospital in Nairobi with my wife who is Kenyan.
“The baron who is from Tanzania promised to pay me $2,000 to take care of my child’s medical bills. I took the decision to smuggle the drugs into Nigeria because I am very worried about the condition of my son".
The Chairman of NDLEA, Col. Muhammad Abdallah, said the excuse Ogochukwu gave for his involvement in drug smuggling was not tenable.
“No explanation is tenable for committing a crime. Drug trafficking is a criminal offence and the suspect will be charged accordingly. The suspect’s action only complicated his condition because he is here facing a criminal charge while the responsibility of taking care of his sick son now rests solely on the wife.”
If convicted, the NDLEA said the suspect is facing a minimum of fifteen years imprisonment.

Kidnappers Killed UNICAL Lecturer and Demand N2bn Ransom For Another
Gunmen on Thursday assassinated a lecturer in Department of Accounting, University of Calabar, Dr. Emmanuel Igbeng, by the entrance to his house in Calabar, Cross River State.
The incident, which happened around 8.30pm at Asuquo Abasi Street, off Uwanse Lane in Calabar-South area of the metropolis, has thrown the university community into mourning.
Sadly, Dr. Igbeng was assassinated barely one week after he was awarded his PhD degree at the 30th convocation ceremony of UNICAL.
An eyewitness, Magdalene Bassey, said the incident happened within split seconds as three gunmen came out from a waiting car while one of them shot the lecturer on his neck at close range.
She said, “They did not ask him any question, neither did they steal anything from his car. They just came and shot him in the neck before retreating to their waiting vehicle. They were three in number.”
Bassey said that Igbeng and a lady who was in the car with him were rushed to a nearby clinic where the lecturer was confirmed dead, but the lady was still alive.
Public Relations Officer of UNICAL, Mr. Effiong Eyo, described the murder as a shocking development, adding that it was sad losing a lecturer, let alone a young man.
“This is a great loss to us as an institution. This man struggled and just last Saturday he got his PhD degree. It is really sad for an institution to lose a man like that,” he said.
Meanwhile the kidnappers of a lecturer in the Department of Zoology, University of Calabar, Prof. Edet Ekpenyong, have made N2bn demand as ransom on first contact with the family.
Ekpenyong was kidnapped in the early hours of March 10, 2017 while on his morning routine jogging exercise on campus.
According to a source, the kidnappers did not open contact with the family until after four days after when they demanded for N2bn as ransom.
The source told Southern City News on Friday that further negotiations dropped the ransom to N1bn, N200m and N50m respectively.
“At least three persons have been arrested in connection with the kidnap. We are making progress and we hope that the professor will soon regain freedom. They initially demanded N2bn but later dropped it to N1bn. Just on Thursday, a negotiation was reached but in the early hours of Friday, I learnt that the amount has dropped to N50m,” he said.
It was learnt that the university security agency is working with the police to ensure the safe release of the abducted don.
Speaking on the assassination of the lecturer, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Hafiz Inuwa, said investigations revealed that the gunmen hanged around the lecturer’s gate before his return.
He said, “I am aware of the killing and the police got there in good time. From the reports we got, the robbers were hanging around and opened fire on him immediately he came. The street, from what we discovered, was a lonely one. We have started investigation into the matter.”
On the kidnapped university don, Inuwa simply said, “We are making headway.”
Kendall Jenner Sacked Her Security Guard Over The Loss of Jewelry Worth $200k In Her House
On March 16, it was reported that jewelry estimated at $200,000 was stolen from Kendall Jenner's bedroom in her $6.5m mansion in LA. Now although cops are investigating, she has fired her security guard, just like Kim did after she was robbed in Paris. Read TMZ's report below..
Kendall Jenner fired her security guard one day after she was robbed blind in her own home.Our Kardashian sources say the guard was posted outside the house, which raises the question ... why fire him if it was an inside job and the thief was almost certainly a partygoer who made his or her way into Kendall's bedroom and stole $200k in jewelry?
It appears the fam is upset because when Kendall left for an hour around midnight, someone who was not an invited guest got inside the house.
You'll recall, Kim's longtime bodyguard, Pascal, was given his walking papers after the Paris robbery, because he left the apartment with Kourtney and Kendall shortly before the invasion. We're told there are surveillance cameras in and around the house, and cops are hopeful it will give them a hot lead. We're also told the items stolen include a Rolex and a Cartier watch.

'When we heal people they will be in comatose a spirit where angels will be surrounding them and giving them strength spiritually,' claims the prophet.

Minister Dambazau Disclosed That 400 Nigerians In South African Been Jailed
Interior Minister retired Lt.-Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau has disclosed that about 400 Nigerians were saving jail terms for various offences in South Africa.
Dambazau made the disclosure at a joint news conference in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the visit of Nigerian delegation to South Africa.
Dambazau and his Foreign Affairs counterpart, Geoffrey Onyeama had on Monday led a delegation to South Africa over the incessant xenophobic attacks on Nigerians living in that country.
He said he had a meeting with his counterpart, the Home Affairs Minister in South Africa and discussed general issues particularly on migration.
The minister said they also discussed Nigerians involved in some criminal activities.
“These are in the minority because equally we have Nigerian professionals who are contributing positively to development of the economy of South Africa.
“However, that is not to say that they should fold their arms and not to do something about somebody involved in criminality.
“But in doing that, we emphasised that due processe of the law should be taken in terms of the assumption of innocence, being proven guilty and in terms of fair hearing.
“I understand that there are about 400 Nigerians who are in their prison for various offences”, he said.
The minister said their offences included prostitution and drug, among others.
He said the offenders would finish their jail terms in South Africa because there was no prisoner exchange arrangement between Nigeria and South Africa as it were with some other countries.
He, however, said that efforts would be made to ensure that such arrangement was put in place in due course.
Dambazau said he also emphasised that due process of the law should be taken in dealing with suspected criminals.
“When we met with the Nigerian community, we also emphasised that those who are involved in criminal behaviour should not be allowed to spoil the good names of themselves and Nigeria.
“So they have that moral responsibility to report where necessary”, he said.
The minister said that the issue of passport challenge was also tabled at the meeting with the Nigerian community with a promise that it would be resolved.
“There were complaints that the passport machines were old and from our record we understand that they were supplied in 2007. I then promised them that arrangement must be made to ensure that all passport machines are changed to modern ones.
“We are going to streamline the issuance of passport”, he added.

"I Have Eaten 10 Human Bodies" - Zimbabwean Woman Says
A Zimbabwean woman from Harare claiming to be a witch has allegedly eaten ten human bodies with her syndicate. Speaking in a recent interview with local media, Kwayedza, the 37-year-old said that the spirit became strong in 2012 and ever since then she has approached many apostolic prophets who have failed to exorcize the spirit.
'The spirit became very strong in 2012 and so far we have eaten 10 people while the other ten are sick pending death. I have approached many apostolic prophets (Madzibaba) to cast the evil spirit but to no avail,' she is quoted saying.
However, the woman is said to be married and has five children but the husband is not aware of her alleged witchcraft practices.
