Court Orders Forfeiture Of Two Houses Belonging To Former Senate President Bukola Saraki.

A federal high court in Lagos has ordered the interim forfeiture of two houses belonging to former senate president, Bukola Saraki, in Ilorin, Kwara state.

 

This was revealed in a statement signed by the Spokesperson, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Wilson Uwujaren.

 

According to him, the Ilorin Zonal Office of the EFCC had earlier approached the court presided over by Justice Ridwan Aikawa for an order of interim forfeiture of about N1 billion worth property belonging to Saraki.

 

The property located at plots 10 and 11 Abdulkadir Road, GRA, Ilorin is being requested by the anti-graft commission for forfeiture on the grounds that it was acquired through the proceeds of unlawful activity.

 

The development comes five days after the former number three citizen raised the alarm that the anti-graft agency was “targetting his properties”, ignoring a court order restricting it from doing so.

Ronaldo snubs Ballon d’Or for Gran Gala ceremony

Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t appear at the Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris on Monday evening as Lionel Messi won his sixth gong.

Multiple reports claim the Portuguese star wasn’t on the podium for the prize, with his Barcelona rival winning for a record sixth time and Liverpool duo Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah on either side.

Now, reports ran that Ronaldo had learned of his ranking, outside the top three, and therefore, decided not to attend the event.

Instead, he appeared at the Gran Gala ceremony in Milan – also being held on Monday night – to receive the award for best Serie A player of last season.

The 34-year-old debuted as a Juve player with 21 League goals during the 2018-19 campaign but has managed just six so far this term.

Education Rights Campaign Describes Controversy Around The Implementation Of IPPIS As Unnecessary And Diversionary.

The Education Rights Campaign has viewed the controversy generated around the implementation of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System in the public Universities as unnecessary and diversionary.

 

It says this is considering the enormous challenges of underfunding, skyrocketing tuition fees and clampdown on democratic rights of students.

 

National Coordinator of the group, Hassan Soweto said despite corruption in many public tertiary institutions in Nigeria, they do not believe that IPPIS is capable of ensuring sanity, transparency and accountability in the system.

 

Hassan Soweto also renewed call for increased funding to the education sector.
