BREAKING: EFCC ARREST TWO INEC OFFICALS OVER ALLEGED BRIBERY

             
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested two Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Officials over bribery allegations.

 The officials, Christian Nwosu and Tijani Inda-Bashir, are currently standing trial on allegations of collecting bribes from the Former Minister of Petroleum, Diezani Allison-Madueke, ahead of the 2015 elections.

The anti-graft agency arrested the suspects outside the premises of the Federal High Court, Lagos shortly after the court adjourned further proceedings in their case to March 7, 2018.
According to Channels TV the arrest of the suspects may not be unconnected from the fresh evidence uncovered by the EFCC against both men which has to do with alleged INEC funds misappropriation.
Before their arrest, the two defendants had told Justice Mohammed Idris of their intention to file “a no case submission” after the EFCC closed its case against them.
The EFCC had called two prosecution witnesses and tendered several bank documents to show that both men allegedly received various sums of money for the purpose of influencing the outcome of the elections in Kwara State.
Instead of opening their defence, the defence team informed the judge that the prosecution had not succeeded in linking them to the offense. They therefore asked for time to put in their ‘no case submission’ before the court.
Justice Idris granted the request and as the men stepped out of the court premises, they were arrested by officials of the anti-graft agency.
Until his trial, the first defendant, Christian Nwosu was the Director of Administration, INEC, Kwara State while the second defendant, Tijani Inda-Bashir was said to be the Head of Accounts of INEC’s Kwara State Office.

Further Details Shortly…

MORGUE ATTENDANT FONDLE LATE GHANAIAN ARTISTE, EBONY REIGN'S BOOBS IN LEAKED VIDEO

Image
Ghana is gradually becoming a jungle where decency has been thrown to the dogs. Since Ebony Reigns died, several unpleasant things have not only been said about her, indecent pictures have been circulating and it keeps getting disgusting each day. A video is circulating on social media and it has gotten Ghanaians so angry that even Bullet the manager of the late singer has threatened to sue the Bechem Government Hospital in the Brong Ahafo Region. Photo of the man who abused the corpse: The video shows a man in the morgue standing over the two corpses of Ebony and Franky Kuri. Both are n*ked and the video shows the man handling the bodies whilst he talks to some companions off camera. As to why they would do what they’re doing is already disturbing, but that they even took videos of the episode makes things 100 times worse.
