EXPOSED: How Lagos Speaker, Obasa, Fraudulently Collected N32.5m As Travel Allowance To Turkey To Buy Personal Furniture
~2.3 mins read
In yet another grand corruption scheme, SaharaReporters has uncovered how Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, fraudulently collected about N32.5m as travel allowance for himself and six others to attend a programme in Turkey.
It was learnt that Obasa got the House to approve the fund to facilitate a trip to the European country to understudy the transformation of the Turkish parliament.
In a document sighted by SaharaReporters dated July 09, 2018, the Speaker had requested the Assembly to release the funds, so he could attend the summit along with six others.

It was further learnt that Obasa embarked on the trip with only one lawmaker, late Hon. Adebayo Osinowo, and pocketed the fund approved for the others.
A source close to the Assembly told SaharaReporters that the Speaker only travelled to Turkey for purchase of house furniture as the Turkish parliament had no record of him or the Lagos House of Assembly coming to the country for any fact-finding mission.
“Though Nike, his mistress collected cash of N3,612,299, no personal assistant, orderly, official of grade level 13 travelled with him and no consultants.
"He only went to Turkey for purchase of furniture which indeed is a contraband and the Turkish parliament has no record of him or Lagos State House of Assembly to understudy the Turkish Government as a whole.
“The transformation of Turkish parliament was not under study by the Lagos State House of Assembly and it is not even the tradition or under due process to pay travel allowance of any consultant, indeed Obasa is the consultant himself.
“Apart from buying furniture, he also went to Turkey to open discussion with a tile company for local partnership of tile making at his acquired land on Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
“All the estacodes and flight fare for the aides were collected by Obasa without any of them on the trip only the usual lady, Nike, collected her allocated money in cash.
“Only one honourable member, late Hon. Osinowo, made the trip and was surprised on arrival in Turkey to discover no official meeting or visit to Turkish parliament happened except private trips to the tile company by Obasa and his business partners,” the source said.
SaharaReporters had in series of reports detailed how Obasa had engaged in looting of public funds since he became Speaker of the Assembly.
The online news publication revealed how he operated over 64 bank accounts using different names to steal public funds.
To conceal his identity, the Speaker changed his name and date of birth in some of the accounts.
Aside from using Ajayi Mudashiru Obasa, he also used Obasa Abdulrahman Gbadunola and Gabriel Adedoyin Savage to register some of the bank accounts.
SaharaReporters also exposed how Obasa awarded contracts to himself using different companies owned by him and how he got the Assembly to approve N258m for the printing of invitation cards for the inauguration of lawmakers two months after the event held.
Earlier on Thursday, he was grilled for several hours at the Lagos office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and only granted bail late in the night following pressures from top politicians on the anti-graft agency.

By Chinonso Alozie
OCTOBER 9

The police officer whose name was given as Obioma Obi, who cocked his gun threatening to shoot protesters demanding for the scrapping of the Special Anti Robbery Squad, SARs, yesterday in Owerri, has been indicted by the Imo state police Commissioner, Isaac Akinmoyede.

The Commissioner of Police, spoke while reacting on the gun threat from the police officer, Obi to the protesters adding that it was unprofessional and not inline with the standard of training of a police officer.

To end it, Akinmoyede, said officer Obi, has been taken into the disciplinary committee for further action on the matter.

However, he pleaded with the members of the public to be patient on the ongoing reforms of the Special Anti Robbery Squad, SARs.

This is coming few hours Vanguard reported that an officer of the police, Obioma Obi, had threatened protesters with gun should they not disperse from the streets where they are protesting.

In a statement by the state Police Public Relation Officer, PPRO, Orlando Ikeokwu said: “The Commissioner of Police, Imo state, CP Isaac O. Akinmoyede, psc, fdc, MNIM, has condemned the unprofessional conduct by a police officer, captured in a trending video, attempting to assault some protesting citizens against alleged human rights violations by personnel of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Imo State, today, 8th October 2020. The CP notes that the conduct displayed by the officer is not a true reflection of the ethics, standards, values and training of the Nigeria Police Force.

“The CP, while noting that disciplinary action has already commenced against the erring officer, however, observes that much as it is within the rights of the citizens to express their concerns through protest and other legitimate means, they should do so in a peaceful manner, devoid of violence and disruption of public peace and order.

“The CP calls on the people of Imo State to exercise restraint and be patient with the ongoing reforms on SARS and other Tactical Squads of the Force.

“He reassures that the Command will fully comply with the directives of the IGP towards preventing any violation of the rights of the citizen and improving on the working relationship between the Command and residents of the State.”

Governorship Ambition Aviation Minister Accused Of Withholding Staffs Salaries
~1.9 mins read
Top aviation sources have revealed to SaharaRepoters that Minister of
Aviation, Hadi Sirika, was deliberately holding on to workers' salaries and
allowances in a bid to raise enough money to contest the next governorship
election in Katsina State.
It was also gathered that the minister in a bid to raise funds needed to
realise his ambition, was doing all he can to sell the country's airports.
He is said to be working hard to prove that government could no longer manage
the facilities just so he can auction them off and raise some money for his
governorship ambition.
He is said to be keen on selling the four major airports in Nigeria -- Lagos,
Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt.
Sirika has also been accused of using his cronies to head agencies like Federal
Airport Authority of Nigeria, National Airport Management Authority, Accident
Investigation Bureau, and Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority.
The minister is believed to be raising money illicitly through these agencies to
fulfill his governorship ambition in Katsina State.
Despite owing salaries, the minister has just recruited 280 more staff into
FAAN, who are all from the Northern part of the country, it was gathered.
About 26 of them have been posted to Lagos international airport and have
started documentation without taking any tests as normal employment
procedure demands.
Angered by this and other issues affecting their welfare, aviation workers
under the platforms of National Union Of Air Transport Employees, Air
Transport Services Senior Staff Association Of Nigeria, And Association Of
Nigeria Aviation Professional, in a letter addressed to the Managing Director
and Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria,
Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, said that they would embark on
immediate strike action if their demands were not met.
"Due to continuing unilateral actions by the management of FAAN resulting in
ever increasing delays and staggering of salaries payments which has become
unbearable, our unions have decided that the situation can no longer be
tolerated due to the uncontrollable damage to workers welfare and smooth
operation of FAAN.
"Accordingly, management is hereby notified that if within seven days from
the date of the notice all shortfalls in salary payments are not fully rectified
and settled, our unions will commence an indefinite industrial action against
the authority," the letter partly reads.
