“WELL MEANING INDIGENES AND PROFESSIONAL GROUPS IN OSUN MUST SPEAK UP AGAINST ATTEMPTS TO DERAIL CURRENT DEVELOPMENTAL MOMENTUM IN THE STATE”

-Comrade Temidayo Bankole, Coordinator Osun Movement for Peace
Q: In the last few weeks, you and your organization have suddenly been in the news. Is this part of your strategy to be a relevant force in the approaching governorship election in the state?
A: To an extent, you are correct that we have been in the news of late. However, you are wrong to conclude that our increased tempo of advocacy and media visibility is primarily to achieve political or election-related goals. Osun Movement for peace is a non-political and non-governmental public advocacy-cum-civil society group. We are a part of the Civil Societies Coalition in the State. Our concern and purpose of existence since 2007 has always been to defend the peace, unity and best interest of our state.

FLEEING SUSPECT KNOCKS DOWN EFCC OPERATIVE

 

An Operative of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Jonathan Barde, was on Tuesday, March 18, 2014, knocked down by a Honda Accord car, desperately driven by a fleeing suspect, Tajudeen Oluwanishola, who was trying to escape arrest over a case of  fraud being investigated by the Commission.

Barde sustained serious injury and was subsequently rushed to the Military Hospital, Ikoyi, Lagos for medical attention.
Not only was Barde injured, a Toyota Hilux van that took the investigative team to the Gbagada Estate neighbourhood where the suspects reside was badly damaged as the suspect rammed his car into the vehicle in his desperate bid to escape arrest.
Unfortunately for Oluwanishola, who bolted upon sighting the investigative team led by Pius Akoji, his  escape bid was foiled by a  Rapid Response Patrol team which apprehended him and handed him over to the EFCC.
Oluwanishola is being investigated for an alleged internet banking fraud to the tune of N5, 500,000 (Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand Naira).

After One Week Sitting National Conference Delegates Get Paid N1.4 million Each....

492 delegates to the National Conference today got their first pay today. Saharareporters can authoritatively report that each of the delegates got paid N1.45 million Naira after sitting for a week . The payment was made directly into the bank accounts of delegates.

This is the first week of the National Conference. The delegates spent the week squabbling over sitting arrangements, which prayers were appropriate and other mundane issues .They are expected to meet for three months and get paid every two weeks according to our sources.

The Nigerian government has made available N7 billion (Naira) for the conference. Each delegate is expected to be paid N4 million Naira per month, but it appears some of the funds will be applied to the secretariat . Despite this huge amount, in a country where state governors are refusing to pay the minimum wage at N18,000 per month, the delegates are still asking for more money to pay their aide .

"N1.45 million Naira for a week's job is not bad at all," says Saharareporters columnist and satirist, Rudolf Okonkwo, "especially when most of the delegates were just sleeping during their few hours of sitting."
