ABUJA LAND GRABBING SYNDICATE AND THEIR LAWLESS CONDUCT AND THREAT TO SECURITY OF COMMUNITIES

By Donald Iorchir

Reference to the letter written to the Inspector General of Police Of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Usman Alkali Baba and copies sent to the DSS, EFCC, ARMY and other security agencies and publication in the Blueprint Newspaper in November 2022, Seeking the attention of the Nigeria security service to come to the aid of some land owners in Lugbe but till date the Nigeria Police is yet to take action.

Again we are using this medium to call on the Inspector General of Police and other security agencies to investigate the following:

Kinsley Abazie Ifeanyi (also known as IFEDI HOMES) Monday Onimisi and their cohorts

They are busy going against the law of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by trespassing on lands that do not belong to them, threatening land owners, violating the rule of law and disobeying court orders.

It’s so shocking that these fellows, (land grabbing syndicates) go about the city of Abuja in convoys of heavily armed Police personnel and hoodlums, which they use to intimidate, harrass and threaten genuine land owners. We know and can prove that they are being backed up by some Serving and retired senior Police officials.

We hereby call on the I.G of Police, Director of DSS, Nigerian Army and the Judiciary, to speedily checkmate and investigate the activities and unlawful use of police personnel and hoodlums, this lawbreakers harass, intimidate and threaten genuine land owners.

We also need the public to ask how and why these people can encroach on lands not belonging to them and with impunity carry out construction activities even with Court Orders restraining them from doing same. They do these things with the active cover of armed policemen and hoodlums.

We appeal to the Judiciary to protect it’s integrity as we are at a loss why these syndicates claim to be untouchable, violating court orders and seemingly going scotfree

As it stands the lives of the original land owners are seriously being threatened as they are being repeatedly attacked by the team of Kingsley Abazie Ifeanyi (IFEDI HOMES) and MONDAY ONIMISI.

” We must therefore raise up to our collective responsibly and say ‘ENOUGH IS ENOUGH’ to APC led administration in Nigeria for the betterment of the unborn generations”.
” The hardship presently Nigerians undergoing as a result of bad leadership and Maladministration which ruined every aspect of our society and the government ultimately end up without a clear plan and action or purpose for the citizens, which led to untold hardship due to artificial poverty inflicted on the citizens”.

Fact check: Who bowed for pastors’ blessing, Governor Fintiri or Boss Mustapha?

Fact check: Who bowed for pastors’ blessing, Governor Fintiri or Boss Mustapha?

A fact-check on the purported picture of Governor Fintiri bowing before Christian clergy in Adamawa for special prayers has revealed the truth.

The narrative : Online news platforms and whatsApp chat groups on the net have shared purported pictures of Governor Fintiri bowing down and sticking out his head for blessings from the Adamawa Catholic clergy, numbering about seven(7).

Investigations online, using apps for detecting the date and age of photos and random sampling of some Adamawa residents, who were at the Church during the event, discredited the viral news containing Governor Fintiri’s pictures. Residents confirmed that Governor Fintiri indeed visited the area and the Church in question, wearing blue-colored attire, while Secretary to the Government of the Federation – Boss Mustapha was there in ash-colored dress ( which was the one passed to the public as Fintiri’s).

A member of the community where the Church is located, who pleaded for anonymity, argued that it was “political mischief-makers at work”.

The third politically-exposed visitor to the same Church was Hajiya Aishatu Binani and the picture was also found.

Fact is that the pictures that the “mischief-makers” seem to have deliberately refused to offer explanations for, are now unveiled by our Adamawa undercover Reporter.

Naira Swap: Makarfi Ambassadors Faults CBN Mode Of Operations

Naira Swap: Makarfi Ambassadors Faults CBN Mode Of Operations

…Tells CBN to Douse Brewing Tension Caused by Queues, Scarcity of Money in Banks

Group under aegis of Makarfi Ambassadors has faulted the manner and approach of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC) to the new currency swap operations .

It urged President Muhammadu Buhari led government and CBN to find alternative means to ensure that enough cash are distributed to commercial banks to contain the frustrations caused by lingering queues and scarcity of money at ATM machines across Nigeria.

The Makarfi Ambassadors ,which is a Kaduna based campaign support group rooting for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) said it’s highly unfortunate that the CBN would issue deadline for new naira swap and failed to produce enough notes to ease the unnecessary queues at Banks and PoS centres.

In a press statement signed by Mr. Abdullahi Ahmed; Coordinator on General-Matters,Engr. Bolade Aina, Coordinator Planning/Strategy and made available journalists today in Kaduna today, the Makarfi Ambassadors however, called on angry Nigerians ,who angry over the frustrations encountered during the course either old cash swap or withdrawal from commercial banks to remain calm and avoid acts that might truncate the forthcoming 2023 elections.

The group, which reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s order for the extension of the validity of old 200 naira notes by 60 days, said it is not enough to give order ,but the implementation of the of the order is the problem.

“We watched and listened to the President’s broadcast today ,where he gave approval to the CBN that the old N200 bank notes be released back into circulation and that it should also be allowed to circulate as legal tender with the new N200, N500, and N1000 banknotes for 60 days from February 10, 2023 to April 10 2023 when the old N200 notes ceases to be legal tender, But said President’s broadcast has helped the situation ,but might worsen the untold hardship the average Nigerians are over the New Naira notes Swap.

The statement further reads: “We calling on Buhari and the CBN Governor to make cash immediately.The February 25 Presidential Elections is few days from now and we won’t accept any hidden agenda that will undermine the election exercises.

“We are also calling on Nigerians ,who have seen the failed APC government to come out enmasse to vote the main opposition party’s candidate, Former Vice President,Alh. Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa .

“We strongly believe in doing so the untold hardships and pains caused by APC would issues of the past.”
