76-yr-old retired school principal
identified as Pa Alphonsus Dimgba, has
reportedly died while exerting himself
on an 18-year-old girl he was having
sex with.
According to reports, the incident occurred
in a community in Enugu State where the
old man who retired from a public school in
Anambra State some years ago, had gone
back to and became a community leader.
But his undoing, according to residents,
was his love for anything in skirt, not
sparing the young and the old, even the
married women.
A resident of the community who sent
in the report, said that Pa Dimgba, an
elder in the local Catholic Church, was
so fond of philandering with other
women and had been caught several
times and warned to desist from such
acts but he always waved such away
until the last 'supper' which sent him to
the great beyond.
"It was in the early hours of the day when
most people had gone to the farms and
other businesses when we heard the girl
screams. The screams were so loud and
unending that it drew many people towards
the direction of the screams and what we
found out shocked everyone.
It happened in the girl's father's house.
There we found Pa Dimgba sprawled
Unclad on the floor, foaming in the mouth.
Before he could be rushed to the hospital,
he had given up the ghost.
The girl was handed over to the police
and she confessed that it was not the
first time she and the deceased had
been having sex and that while they
were at it, her old lover suddenly
developed a seizure and slumped to
the floor."

» Female Suicide Bomber Launches Deadly Attack At Military Checkpoint In Borno, Kills 4 «
A female suicide bomber today killed four
people at a military checkpoint in a
community in Borno State, a security
source who is a leader of the civilian joint
task force told SaharaReporters.
The source disclosed that the bomber
alighted from a vehicle at a military
checkpoint in the Sabon Gari area of
Damboa, a town in Damboa local
government area of Borno State, and then
detonated her bomb, killing herself as well
as four other people. Scores of people
sustained varying degrees of injuries. Our
source stated that two of the dead were
members of the civilian joint task force that
helps to provide security in the terror-
plagued northeast zone of Nigeria.
“At about 10:30 this morning, a female
bomber wrapped up with explosive devices
exploded herself at a checkpoint killing four
people, including two members of civilian
JTF,” the source said.
The location of today’s bombing is in the
southern part of Borno State, about 90
miles away from Maiduguri, the state
capital.
Islamist terrorists belonging to Boko Haram
have intensified attacks throughout the
Nigerian northeast zone that is ravaged by
sectarian violence. A member of one
human rights group based in Abuja stated
that close to 1000 civilians have been killed
since May 29, 2015 when President
Muhammadu Buhari was sworn in.
Mr. Buhari had ordered the relocation of the
military command to Maiduguri in order to
achieve greater success in the fight against
Islamist insurgents. However, Boko Haram
fighters seem to be regaining momentum,
launching suicide and gun attacks against
civilian and military targets on an almost
daily basis.

» Nigerian Army Can’t Defeat Boko Haram Alone – UK High Commissioner «
The outgoing British High Commissioner to
Nigeria, Andrew Pocock, has said the problem of
Boko Haram insurgency in North-east Nigeria is
not something that can be resolved with the use
of the army, the police or the security agencies
only.
Speaking at a farewell interactive session with
members of Kaduna chapter of the Nigeria Union
of Journalists Correspondent Chapel in Kaduna on
Monday, Mr. Pocock said: “We don’t look at the
problem in the Northeast as purely a security
problem. It is not something that can be resolved
with the use of the army of the police or the
security agencies only. It is not going to be
solvable.
“There has to be three different things; the first is
a properly articulated security efforts. The second
is that, there has to be a different kind of politics in
the Northeast, where state and Federal
Government work together instead of against
each other and where there is a much more
common and agreed agenda about what needs
to be done to correct many years of mis-
governance and of poor policy in the North-east.
“The third dimension has to be a developmental
and economic uplift agenda. Too many,
particularly young people are not only without
employment in the North-east but because of the
insurgency are without any economic prospect
whatsoever. No one can live without hope and
indeed if the economic and the developmental
aspect of these are not addressed, the
opportunities for radicalisation are much greater.
So, those three things have to work in tandem,
the security instrument, politics and
development/economic approach.”
He however stated that with the new
government of President Muhammadu Buhari,
people are looking to a chance to get out of the
security situation in the North-east, adding that, in
the overall, there is greater possibility of stability
and economic success, economic recovery
perhaps than they might have been before the
election.
The High Commissioner said although the army
had some successes in 2013, those efforts were
not followed up and Boko Haram came surging
back in 2014 and effectively controlled most of the
North-eastern country in Borno State as well as
Adamawa and Yobe.
“20, 000 people killed in a conflict is a very
serious matter,” he said.
He said in the overall, there is greater possibility of
stability and economic success, economic
recovery perhaps than they might have been
before the election.
“The British government has long been involved
in training Nigerian soldiers to fight the very
difficult anti-insurgency combat that they are
faced with in the North-east,” he said. “We have
done this with some success. There is a lot more
that we can do. What we need is high level
access to the new people that President Buhari is
likely to appoint.”

» EFCC Arrests Ex-Governor Lamido And Two Sons Over Money Laundering «
The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission has arrested a former
Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule
Lamido, for alleged money laundering
related offences.
Investigations revealed that operatives of
the anti-graft agency picked up the former
governor and his two sons, Mustapha and
Aminu, in Abuja on Tuesday.
It was gathered that the anti-graft agency
picked up the governor and his sons in the
early hours today.
It was learnt that EFCC detectives flew the
suspects to Kano by 2.30pm in preparation
for their arraignment in Kano.
A source in the commission said, “The
former Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule
Lamido, and his two sons, Mustapha and
Aminu, were arrested this morning by
operatives of the commission.
“They were with us for hours before they
were flown to Kano for possible
arraignment on Wednesday. They left
Abuja Airport around 2.30pm.
“It is most likely that they would be
arraigned tomorrow, that I can tell you.”
The EFCC had arrested the two sons of the
governor in November 2015 over alleged
misappropriation of billions of Naira
belonging to the Jigawa State Government.
Operatives of the commission, investigating
Lamido and his sons, alleged that billions of
state government funds were traced into
accounts of companies owned and
operated by the governor and his two
sons.
Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr.
Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the arrest of

» Buhari May Sideline EFCC, ICPC In Loot Recovery «
PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari may
not involve the nation’s anti-graft
agencies such as the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission and the
Independent Corrupt Practices and
Other Related Offences Commission in
his government’s efforts at
recovering looted funds, The PUNCH
has learnt.
Our correspondents learnt on Monday that
the President did not have confidence in the
anti-graft agencies.
A top government official, who is familiar
with the Buhari’s government’s efforts at
recovering looted funds, told The PUNCH in
confidence that President might rely more
on people outside the system to achieve
good results.
The official said, “The President’s body
language as far as the anti-corruption
agencies are concerned suggests that
he does not have so much confidence
in them.
“Most of the recovery job may be
done by people outside the system,
like consultants.”
He added that Buhari’s reliance on outsiders
had started yielding positive results and that
the President was currently in possession of
incriminating information about individuals
and institutions suspected to be culpable in
looting the nation’s treasury.
He added that the information was not
made available to Buhari by the anti-graft
agencies but by concerned individuals and
groups.
“I can confirm to you that the President has
received plenty information that is useful for
the recovery process. Anti-graft agencies
are not the sources of the information. He
got the information from different sources,
including anonymous and known sources,”
he said.
When contacted, the Special Adviser to the
President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi
Adesina, said Buhari was committed to the
recovery and repatriation of all stolen funds
from any part of the world.
The President had on June 23 said his
administration had received firm assurances
of cooperation from the United States and
other countries in his quest to recover and
repatriate funds stolen from Nigeria.
He said it was up to Nigeria to provide the
international community with the facts and
figures needed to drive the recovery effort,
saying that he would be busy in the next
three months, getting the facts that would
help in recovering the stolen funds.
“In the next three months, our
administration will be busy getting those
facts and the figures to help us recover our
stolen funds in foreign countries,’’ he had
said while granting audience to members of
the Northern Traditional Rulers Council, led
by the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad
Abubakar III, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
It was learnt on Monday that the President
had not given any directive on the recovery
of stolen funds to any of the nation’s anti-
graft agencies.
Investigations revealed that the leadership of
the EFCC and the ICPC were unsure of the
level of their expected involvement in the
task of recovering the looted funds under
Buhari.
Some very senior officers of the anti-graft
agencies told one of our correspondents in
confidence that they had not been involved
in any looted funds recovery effort under
Buhari’s administration because the
President had not indicated what he
expected from them in the exercise.
An officer in a strategic position in one of
the agencies simply said he had no
knowledge of whether the President had
issued a directive or not.
It was gathered that the President had been
engrossed in discrete moves to recover
billions of Naira believed to have been stolen
by officials of previous governments.
Buhari was said to have reached out to his
counterparts in several countries to seek
assistance on how the stolen funds could
be repatriated.
It was further gathered that some of the
leaders contacted had indicated readiness to
assist the President on the issue of assets
recovery.
The government source said that some of
the politicians who got wind of the move
by the President had become jittery and
had commenced moves to return some of
the funds in a bid to avoid being humiliated.
However, the source could not give the
exact amount of money believed to have
been recovered so far in the course of the
efforts by Buhari to recover stolen Nigerian
assets.
The source said, “Let me make it clear that
no anti-graft agency is involved in the
ongoing efforts to recover stolen funds.
“The fact is that nobody is sure of what the
President wants to do or which security
agency he intends to rely on in the bid to
recover some of these funds.
“What we know is that he reached out to
some foreign countries where some of
these former government officials have
gone to hide the funds and these countries
are cooperating with him. They have
promised to assist him to recover them.
“Some of those involved who got wind of
the President’s move have started returning
some of the stolen money.”
Most of the missing funds in Nigeria are
believed to have been lodged in secret bank
accounts in the U.S., UK, Switzerland and
other European countries.
The President had indicated his resolve to
trace and recover all such stolen funds on
his resumption at the Presidential Villa on
June 27, 2015.
The President, who raised the alarm that he
met an empty treasury, said that billions of
dollars stashed away in foreign accounts
could be recovered in the next three
months.
Adesina had told Saturday PUNCH that the
Federal Government had the intention of
engaging foreign private investigators to
assist the country in tracing the looted
funds.

will make up for all the shortcoming Nigerians

» Peter Obi & Jonathan Brought Boko Haram Prisoners To Anambra, Not Me – Obiano «
Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State,
Thursday, said the transfer of Boko Haram
prisoners to Ekwulobia prisons in Aguata Local
Government Area of Anambra State, was
concluded in 2012 under former President
Goodluck Jonathan administration.
The governor, who spoke through his Senior
Special adviser on Political Matters, Mr. Chinedu
Obidigwe, said the decision was taken during a
seminar organized for officers and men of the
Nigeria Prison Service, NPS, in which Ekwulobia
and Kuje prisons in Anambra and Abuja capital
territory respectively, were chosen as prisons for
the Boko Haram inmates.
But former Governor Peter Obi, in a swift
reaction, expressed shock about Governor Willie
Obiano’s claims, describing it as a blatant lie.
However, Obidigwe said the transfer of Boko
Haram suspects would have been effected
immediately but for the 2015 general elections on
ground that it would affect the second term
ambition of Jonathan in the South East geo-
political zone.
Obidigwe contended that a decision made under
the nose of past administrations in the state and
the country in general should not be blamed on
the current regime in Anambra.
“In as much as the state government would not
want to join issues with such section of the
public, it is important to note that the policy of
transferring Boko Haram inmates to Anambra
State had been made since 2012 under the
regimes of President Goodluck Jonathan and Mr.
Peter Obi, but for the 2015 general elections
which the then President was contesting for a
second term.
“Since the transfer of the 47 inmates, panic had
gripped the people of Ekwulobia as residents in
the area were apprehensive of an imminent attack
by members of the Boko Haram Islamic sect,’’he
said.
Reacting to the claim that former President
Goodluck Jonathan and former Governor Peter
Obi were behind the relocation of Boko Haram
terrorists to Anambra State, the media aide to
Peter Obi, Mr. Valentine Obienyem, said he was
shocked that Governor Willie Obiano would
personally sign such a release laying claims to
what appeared nauseating and childish.
Obienyem said that such a claim would only end
up proving to the people that there were more to
the relocation than they already knew.
Describing the claim as a blatant lie, Obienyem
wondered how an action or a plan concluded by
a man who left office almost 16 months ago was
being implemented now.
He said: “The governor is clearly looking for an
alibi for an action that was against the people. He
should look elsewhere and not in the direction of
Mr. Peter Obi, who, since he left office, had opted
to stay away from Awka and not to distract the
present government in any way.”
Obienyem said Anambra people expected
commendation from Obiano for Obi for the N75
billion in cash and investment he left for him and
for restoring the pride of the state when other
governors were bequeathing debts to their
successors, rather than trying vainly to drag his
name to the mud through statements such as
this present one linking him to the Boko Haram
issue.
He said the present campaign was not the first,
recalling that the same people mass-produced
documentaries against Obi and shared them free
to people.
Thursday, said the transfer of Boko Haram
prisoners to Ekwulobia prisons in Aguata Local
Government Area of Anambra State, was
concluded in 2012 under former President
Goodluck Jonathan administration.
The governor, who spoke through his Senior
Special adviser on Political Matters, Mr. Chinedu
Obidigwe, said the decision was taken during a
seminar organized for officers and men of the
Nigeria Prison Service, NPS, in which Ekwulobia
and Kuje prisons in Anambra and Abuja capital
territory respectively, were chosen as prisons for
the Boko Haram inmates.
But former Governor Peter Obi, in a swift
reaction, expressed shock about Governor Willie
Obiano’s claims, describing it as a blatant lie.
However, Obidigwe said the transfer of Boko
Haram suspects would have been effected
immediately but for the 2015 general elections on
ground that it would affect the second term
ambition of Jonathan in the South East geo-
political zone.
Obidigwe contended that a decision made under
the nose of past administrations in the state and
the country in general should not be blamed on
the current regime in Anambra.
“In as much as the state government would not
want to join issues with such section of the
public, it is important to note that the policy of
transferring Boko Haram inmates to Anambra
State had been made since 2012 under the
regimes of President Goodluck Jonathan and Mr.
Peter Obi, but for the 2015 general elections
which the then President was contesting for a
second term.
“Since the transfer of the 47 inmates, panic had
gripped the people of Ekwulobia as residents in
the area were apprehensive of an imminent attack
by members of the Boko Haram Islamic sect,’’he
said.
Reacting to the claim that former President
Goodluck Jonathan and former Governor Peter
Obi were behind the relocation of Boko Haram
terrorists to Anambra State, the media aide to
Peter Obi, Mr. Valentine Obienyem, said he was
shocked that Governor Willie Obiano would
personally sign such a release laying claims to
what appeared nauseating and childish.
Obienyem said that such a claim would only end
up proving to the people that there were more to
the relocation than they already knew.
Describing the claim as a blatant lie, Obienyem
wondered how an action or a plan concluded by
a man who left office almost 16 months ago was
being implemented now.
He said: “The governor is clearly looking for an
alibi for an action that was against the people. He
should look elsewhere and not in the direction of
Mr. Peter Obi, who, since he left office, had opted
to stay away from Awka and not to distract the
present government in any way.”
Obienyem said Anambra people expected
commendation from Obiano for Obi for the N75
billion in cash and investment he left for him and
for restoring the pride of the state when other
governors were bequeathing debts to their
successors, rather than trying vainly to drag his
name to the mud through statements such as
this present one linking him to the Boko Haram
issue.
He said the present campaign was not the first,
recalling that the same people mass-produced
documentaries against Obi and shared them free
to people.

Buhari's Presidency: Yoruba Elders Express Regrets
President Muhammau Buhari may have lost
the support of some Yoruba elders less
than 100 days into his tenure.
The leaders are particularly angry with Buhari
over the recently concluded National Assembly
elections, which they feel was a big blow to the
South west.

Others To Be Thrown Out Of PDP
They berated the president for his silence and
suggested that their region might not benefit
from the Buhari administration despite voting
massively for the president during the April 2015
presidential polls.
“For the fact that the South-West played a key
role in the emergence of Buhari as the President,
it is expected that they would occupy a more
strategic position than the post of vice president”,
said one of the elders.
They argued that the National Assembly
leadership election has given the impression that
their region is weak politically.

Some of the leaders who also participated in the
last National Conference also say the region must
re-strategise to assert itself in the politics of the
nation.
They argued that the position of Professor Yemi
Osinbanjo, the current vice president, who is a
South west indigene is not a powerful position.
Chief Ayo Opadokun, a South-West leader, who
spoke to the Nigerian Pilot yesterday on the
current power imbalance, noted that the Yoruba
race made a great mistake by not re-electing
former president Goodluck Jonathan, considering
what he had in stock for the zone.

He emphasised that the implementation of the
National Conference report would elevate the
standard of the zone, which is the reason people
of the South-West should have queued behind
Jonathan.
Also speaking on the issue, image maker of Pro-
National Conference, Wale Okunniyi, faulted the
emergence of Saraki and Dogara, which he
described as a conspiracy against the Yoruba
nation by some powerful forces in the APC.
Another prominent South-West leader and
lawyer, Asiwaju Bisi Adegbuyi, focused on how
the Yoruba race can move forward saying, the
region needs self-determination rather than a
symbolic representation.
“Yoruba race should know what they want.
Yoruba made progress when Chief Obafemi
Awolowo led us”, he said.

period, the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential
Campaign Organisation warned the leaders of the
All Progressives Congress to stop insulting

homosexual people and enjoys an attractive
countenance thus if it becomes necessary , I shall
travel to Washington, D.C., get down on my
knee , and ask his [Obama’s] hand. I can’t

explicit orders as our Lord prohibited mankind
from sodomy,” Mugabe said.

Recently Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari,
came under a severe attack by President Robert
Mugabe
at the African Union summit in South Africa.
A Peoples Democratic Party chieftain, Prof.
Jerry Gana, has expressed displeasure over
the impatience being displayed by
Nigerians with President Muhammadu
Buhari, whose administration is just 30 days
old.
Gana Appeals To Nigerians' Over Buhari's Slow
Pace
Jerry Gana
Gana called on Buhari to carry out his resolve to
fight corruption to the fullest, adding that
corruption has done more harm than good to the
country’s corporate existence, noting that it is
only equity, justice and fairness that can move
the country forward.
He made this remark on Tuesday, June 30, at
Brigadier General Chris Olukolade’s public
presentation of his books, entitled: “Issues in the
Mobilization of Public Support for Military
Operations and The Battles and Voice of the
Nigerian Military,” at the Nigerian Air Force
Conference Centre and Suites, Kado, Abuja.
The PDP chieftain, who was the guest speaker at
the occasion, stated that only leaders that are
sensitive to the needs of the people can transform
their vision into reality.
He called on Nigerians to pray for President
Buhari and other elected leaders for God to give
them the wisdom to select their priorities right,
especially in a nation like Nigeria.

Gana said: “Although we are very intelligent,
patriotic but one of the things ruining Nigeria is
that we are not patient at all. We are very
impatient and anybody who is impatient will not
get solid things done. Even if you are looking for
a wife, if you are impatient you will not get
anyhow. But when you are looking for a great
lady, you have to wait because the best takes
time to form.
“Nigerians you are too impatient. Already you
know it is just about 30 days that this
administration came on board, I want to plead
that we allow Buhari to study the situation, let
him choose his priorities, allow him to govern; he
has four years. Although we are in opposition
and we are watching even if he is making a
mistake we will say go on. But Nigerians want to
criticise every move; no you don’t do that. So, I
pray God will grant him the wisdom.
“In addition to that, I have seen him already with
a spirit of resilience, I think that is good, the ability
to bounce back after failure. He tried three times;
we defeated him, it was when he came the fourth
time that he defeated us.”
He listed the qualities of a good leader to include
competence and courage, adding that a good
leader must be ready to take critical decisions for
the overall good of the people even if it will affect
some selected class, friends or associates.
The PDP stalwart said:“Leaders must be focused
especially in Nigeria else you won’t do anything
because they are so impatient, if you are going
this way, they will say no, go that way, you will
just be going round in circles at the end of the
day.
“Leaders must also have passion, if you don’t
have passion you cannot get much done, these
are extremely important.

He extolled Olukolade as a strategic thinker whose
thinking has brought great strategies that have

group Boko Haram.
“It is important for leaders to apply strategic
thinking. The reason why I admire this officer
(Olukolade) is because he is a strategist, he thinks.
He analyse situations and come up with
strategies, If you are strategic then you will win
wars but if you go to a war without a strategy
you are already defeated. We must also have
leaders who are disciplined,” he concluded.

Misappropriation Of NNPC Funds: Oshiomhole Fires Back At Okonjo-Iweala
Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo state
has fired back at immediate past minister
of finance, Dr Mrs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala,
over claims that she did not spend N2.1
billion from the Excess Crude Account
(ECA) without authorization.
The governor who hit back at Okonjo-Iweala
during a live television programme monitored in
Lagos, noted that the former minister was fond
of playing around with statistics and verbal
reports instead of the actual facts.

“I have made this point that she keeps opening
only parts of the pages and not the entire book.
The logic of transparency is that the honorable
minister must publish in full what is accruing to
the federation account month to month and what
is distributed to who.
“What she has never published simultaneously is
what was accrued over a certain period. Okonjo
Iweala was a member of the National Economic
Council and we have told her not to give us
verbal reports alone, but a documented report.
