<div style="color: #333333; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>A truly massive N2.5 billion fraud has been reportedly uncovered in the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation.</strong></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) is investigating the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) over the misapplication of N2.5 billion seed grant released to the agency by the federal government for its digital switch-over programme.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The commission, in a statement signed by Rasheedat Okoduwa, its spokesperson, on Thursday said it has so far quizzed the NBC Director General, Ishaq Kawu, and other top management staff of the agency over their alleged involvements in the misapplication of the fund.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The presidency had in 2016, released N10 billion to the Ministry of Information and Culture for the digital switch-over programme which entails migration of telephone lines from analogue to digital platforms and a White Paper was issued directing that the process be specifically handled by government-affiliated companies.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Based on the guidelines provided by the White Paper, two companies were nominated to handle the process, one of which was ITS, an affiliate of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA). About N1.7 billion was released to it as seed grant for the commencement of the switch-over.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
However, ICPC said on Thursday that through investigation, it discovered that the process was fraught with alleged corrupt practices.</div>
<blockquote style="background: rgb(255, 255, 153) !important; border-radius: 0px; border: none; box-shadow: rgb(51, 51, 51) 0px 8px 8px -6px; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 25px; position: relative;">
<div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
“It was alleged that Mr Kawu fraudulently recommended a private company called Pinnacle Communications Limited, to the Minister of Information and Culture, for the release of N2.5 billion against the guidelines contained in the White Paper.</div>
<div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
“The N2.5 billion was paid into the Zenith Bank account of Pinnacle Communications Limited in May/June, 2017 for the programme.</div>
<div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
“The DG NBC during interactions with the Commission could not justify why the government White Paper was flouted leading to the release of money to an unqualified company,” the statement said.</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
It added that the Managing Director of Pinnacle, Dipo Onifade, during interrogation confirmed the release of the funds to the company. He could not justify that the money was used for the purpose of digital switch-over.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The commission also said through investigation, it discovered several suspicious transfers of large sums of funds from the account of the company into the bank accounts of several organisations and individuals.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
It found out that N100 million of the fund was paid into the personal bank account of Mr Onifade in Zenith Bank which he claimed was for legal services that he had rendered to the same Pinnacle Communications where he is employed.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Also investigation revealed that another N450 million was transferred into the account of Sabdat Investment Limited, a Bureau de Change, which then converted the money into dollars and handed it over to the Chairman of Pinnacle Communications Limited, Lucky Omoluwa, in his Kaduna residence as he usually did with other funds.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Mr Omoluwa had repeatedly failed to honour invitations, the Commission said.</div>
<blockquote style="background: rgb(255, 255, 153) !important; border-radius: 0px; border: none; box-shadow: rgb(51, 51, 51) 0px 8px 8px -6px; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 25px; position: relative;">
<div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
“He had also sought the leave of the Federal High Court, Abuja, to stop the investigation as well as unfreeze the Zenith Bank account of the company that was frozen by ICPC, but was however ordered by the same court to appear before ICPC for interrogation before the next adjourned date of 3rd December, 2018 before his case would be heard.</div>
<div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
” In compliance with the court order, Mr. Omoluwa has appeared before the Commission where he made useful statements to investigators,” the ICPC added</div>

The Federal High Court in Lagos on Thursday sentenced one Mr Jones Biyere to 15 years’ imprisonment for forgery.</div>
<div class="amp-wp-inline-9ebb7490943b27acf21bc3342b5bd50d" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: justify;">

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had told the court that the convict committed the offence on May 31, 2006 on McCarthy Street, Onikan, Lagos.</div>

<div class="amp-wp-inline-9ebb7490943b27acf21bc3342b5bd50d" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: justify;">

The judge noted that though the case, which began in 2006, took 12 years to conclude because of the “dilatory tactics” of the convict, he would temper justice with mercy as pleaded for by the defence lawyer.</div>
<div class="amp-wp-inline-9ebb7490943b27acf21bc3342b5bd50d" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Teachers and the students of MC’intire Secondary School in Utu Abak, Abak Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom state were seen scampering for safety as they were being chased away with a cutlass by a middle-aged lunatic who has taken over one of the classroom blocks of the school.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The incident occurred on Monday as Schools resumed for the new academic session.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Sources in the School told reporters that students who were returning to their classes after the morning devotion saw the mentally derailed man who immediately got provoked on sighting the students and brought out a matchet and chased after the students and the staff.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10px;">
It was learnt that when he could not get hold of anybody, he descended on some vehicles belonging to the staff of the school.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10px;">
A staff of the school while narrating the Monday attack to newsmen disclosed that the lunatic took over one of the classroom blocks during the long vacation.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The staff described the action of the man as a serious threat to the lives of students and the staff of the school, recalling that the same lunatic burnt down a classroom last month.</div>

“Besides the destruction of the vehicles, staff, students, parents and children seeking admission in the school also escaped narrowly as he chased them with a sharp machete.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: "Source Sans Pro"; line-height: 1.6;">
” The same madman had on August 18, 2018 at about 9pm, set fire and burnt down Senior Secondary One (SS1) classroom that accommodates no fewer than 200 students”, our source disclosed.</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10px;">
He equally appealed to the State Government to renovate the classrom block destroyed by the lunatic so that the affected students would not be stranded.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Also narrating her experience, a student who gave her name as Idorenyin Etim said she was frightened when they saw the madman in their classroom, especially when he started chasing them with a sharp machete.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10px;">
“I and my classmates were heading to our new class when surprisingly, we saw the madman coming out. At first, we thought that he was pretending but when he brought out a machete and threatened to kill anyone that came close, we decided to run away.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10px;">
” And the madman, after we ran away, went to where vehicles belonging to our teachers were parked and smashed the glasses. This was when we knew that we were not safe. Everyone including parents who came to seek admission for their wards were afraid and shocked.”</div>
