EFCC Investigates Two Kogi State Government Officials.
Anti-Party: Benue PDP Suspends Ex-Governor Ortom, 3 Others.
The Benue State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended four prominent members for engaging in anti-party activities. The affected individuals are:
– Former Governor Samuel Ortom, who openly supported the Labour Party candidate in the 2023 election and urged Benue PDP members to vote for the APC in the 2027 Presidential election.
– Hon. Azua Ashongo, who demonstrated gross insubordination and indiscipline.
– Chief Isaac Mffo, implicated in the theft of congress materials during last Saturday’s ward congresses in Buruku local government area.
– Bemgba Iortyom, also involved in the theft of congress materials in Ushongo local government area.
The suspensions were announced by the Benue State PDP Working Committee, which aims to maintain party discipline and address growing concerns of anti-party activities within the organization. This move serves as a clear warning to members who engage in actions detrimental to the party’s interests.
EFCC Investigates Two Kogi State Government Officials
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja has launched an investigation into two senior officials from the Kogi State Government. According to Kingsley Fanwo, the state’s Commissioner for Information, the officials voluntarily presented themselves to the EFCC without receiving a formal summons.
Fanwo emphasized that this voluntary action demonstrates the Kogi State Government’s commitment to transparency and accountability. He stated, “Despite not receiving an official invitation, they decided to voluntarily report at the headquarters of the commission in Abuja.”
The specific allegations against the officials remain undisclosed, but Fanwo hinted that they might be connected to ongoing investigations involving current and former government officials. The investigation is seen as part of the EFCC’s efforts to tackle corruption and ensure accountability in government.
The voluntary appearance of the officials suggests a willingness to cooperate with the investigation, and the Kogi State Government’s commitment to transparency and good governance.
Police Arrest Tailor and Youths in Kano for Possession and Use of Russian Flags
On Monday, the police in Kano launched a crackdown on a tailor, Ahmed, and several youths who were found with Russian flags. Ahmed was taken into custody after being discovered with a stash of Russian flags, and is currently being held for questioning.
The arrest comes as protesters across the country have been spotted waving Russian flags during the ongoing #EndBadGovernance demonstrations. The police action in Kano may be part of a broader effort to address the phenomenon and determine the motivations behind the use of foreign flags in the protests.
