Follow @NigeriaPI The former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Lamorde, has said that the warrant of arrest issued him by the Senate is invalid until theCourt of law decides on his case. He made this known on Thursday in statement by his Lawyer, Festus Keyamo asking the Police and other law enforcement agencies to disregard the Senate order for his arrest. Lamorde stated that it was unconstitutional for the Senate to deliberate a matter that was still in Court. He said that he would appear before the Senate or any of its Committees if the court decides against him. The statement reads in part: “Both the Senate and the Committee were served with the Originating Summons and a Motion seeking an Interlocutory Injunction restraining the Senate from continuing with their investigations pending the determination of the suit. “The processes were served on them on 20th November, 2015, but since then, they have refused, ignored and failed to file any process in defence of the suit. In any event, the Senate Standing Rules are clear to the effect that matters pending before a court of law should not be deliberated upon or discussed on the floor of the Senate or any of its Committee “Whilst there is no restriction on the powers of a court of law to issue a Warrant of Arrest against anybody who fails to honour its Summons, the Senate’s own rules forbid it to do anything in respect of matters that are pending in a court of law. “The conducts of the Senate and the Committee amount to legislative rascality as they...

Follow @NigeriaPI Government Gazette: This is a document that records and states the areas the government has willingly given to the family and community to sell and that the government will not acquire it for what so ever reason except it duly notifies the world. The major characteristics of a gazette on provides 2 things. 1. The Area e.g Ilupeju 2. The coordinates e.g the Beacon Numbers that separates where the Land given to the family starts and stops. This is Known as an Excision. That means in a whole portion of land lets say 10 PLOTS, Government has excised 4 to the family and has taken 6 plots for its own use. Those 4 Plots will now be documented in a book form known as a Gazette. Its the Coordinates you will get to know where the 4 plots start and ends. You can never know with a unclothed Eye! Now the danger of the Gazette that i have seen in my experience is that people who see the gazette, jump up and down and accept it whole line and sinker and proceed to pay to the family because that area is listed in the gazette and they believe that area is free. Thats very wrong and dangerous. It is only an Alausa Surveyor that can come to that gazetted area, map out the coordinates and tell you precisely whether your property falls inside the gazette or not. I have seen places where people purchased the lands that are outside the gazetted excision and still believe they are inside the gazetted excision coordinates. I have seen lazy lawyers...

Follow @NigeriaPI Remember the 50 year old man who asked a surrogate to carry his fertilized eggs for him in the hopes of having a child only for her to end up being pregnant with triplets which he asked her to abort because he couldn’t afford to take care of 3 children? Well, she gave birth to all 3 children on Monday in a California hospital, and is now seeking parental rights. The babies were delivered several weeks premature Monday night, according to a lawyer for Melissa Cook, who is the 47-year-old surrogate mother. That man, a deaf, 50-year-old postal worker from Georgia identified in court papers as “C.M.,” paid Cook to carry a child for him. “I’m healthy, I’m 28 weeks pregnant, the babies are doing great, the three little boys I have inside me,” Cook told Fox News outside court earlier this month before they were born. In California, a gestational surrogate – a woman who carries a donor’s eggs – has no parental rights, but Cook is challenging the state’s surrogacy law in federal court, claiming it is unconstitutional. Cook’s lawyer, Harold Cassidy, a nationally prominent pro-life and anti-surrogacy lawyer said: “It’s an attempt to reduce women to an object, or a breeding animal,” charges who is calling for a moratorium on surrogacy’. “You can doctor this up, you can play word games with it, but this is simply and purely the sale of a child,” he added. Cassidy told Fox News the babies were immediately taken from Cook as soon as they were born, because a state court judge had granted the father parental rights, a ruling Cassidy is appealing. “The hospital personnel refused...

Follow @NigeriaPI The Senate on Thursday uncovered N5 billion shortfall in the amount allocated as meal subsidy for Unity Schools as well as personnel cost of Kings College in the 2016 budget proposal submitted by President Muhammadu Buhari. The Senate noted that only N6.8 billion was proposed for meal subsidy in unity school, instead of N11.2 billion needed. It also noted that the amount was grossly inadequate for the Unity Schools meal subsidy. According to the senate, the implication was that the amount provided would only serve for six months, after which N5 billion would be needed to meet up with the shortfall. Disclosing this during collation of the 2016 budget of Senate Committee on Basic and Secondary Education to the Senate Committee on Appropriation, Vice Chairman of Committee on Education, Senator Rose Oko, said there was the omission of N338 million from the personnel cost of Kings College, adding that instead of N375 million, the ministry budgeted N37 million due to typographical error. However, the Chairman of Senate Committee on Appropriation, Senator Danjuma Goje, promised that his committee would accommodate the omission in the final...
