Senate President, Bukola Saraki Visits Obasanjo in Abeokuta

Senate President, Bukola Saraki paid a visit to Former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo at his Hiltop villa in Abeokuta today, June 19, 2015.

 
Bukola was accompanied by Oyinlola, Andy Uba and more.


A source who was part of the meeting informed PREMIUM TIMES that the Senate President was in Abeokuta to beg Mr. Obasanjo to reconcile him with President Muhammadu Buhari and his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Mr. Saraki emerged as the president of the Senate against the decision of APC leaders. He was also elected when most Senators from the APC were at the International Conference Centre waiting to hold a meeting with Mr. Buhari to discuss the election of the Senate president and Speaker of the House of Representatives.

It was also gathered that Mr. Saraki lamented that although the party leaders have stated that they have accepted his emergence, there was “complete communication breakdown between him, the president and the party”.

The national chairman of the APC, John Oyegun, had abruptly cancelled a scheduled meeting with Mr. Saraki last week without giving another appointment.
Likewise, we also gathered that Mr. Saraki had tried severally to meet with Mr. Buhari after his emergence, but was always denied audience.

Another source in the presidency informed us that the President was angry with Mr. Saraki and the management of the national assembly for going ahead with their election despite adequate knowledge of an invitation for a meeting with Mr. Saraki and his colleagues.

“The president considered it as a mark of disrespect for his office for Saraki to ignore an invitation to meet with him and his colleagues,” our source said.
In his response, Mr. Obasanjo promised to do his best to “ensure communication between all parties”.
However, the spokesperson for the president, Garba Shehu, said the Senate president did not seek to meet with Mr. Buhari.

“I am not aware of any request for a meeting, the president would have seen him, he represents a key institution in our democracy,” he said.
Calls to Mr. Saraki and his aide, Bamikole Omishore, were not answered.
However, the former president in his usual self also joked with the delegation, saying “ you children of nowadays only run to elders when you have finished making the damage”.

PREMIUM TIMES also learnt that after he was informed of the visit, Mr. Obasanjo called Mr. Buhari to inform him that Mr. Saraki is leading a delegation of Senators to his Abeokuta home and Mr. Buhari simply said “you have to see them now, are they not your boys?”.

Among Mr. Saraki’s delegation include former governor of Gombe state, Danjuma Goje, Andy Uba, former Zamfara governor, Ahmed Sani, Olagunsoye Oyinlola and others.

How Fraudster Posing To Be Bank Staff Duped a Girl Of N14,000 Inside GTBank in Lagos

 A fraudster on Wednesday reportedly duped a young lady of N14,000 at the Guaranty Trust Bank, Allen Avenue branch, Ikeja, in Lagos.

According to reports, the young lady, who identified herself with one name, Ruqayat, was seen crying inside the banking hall and attracted attention from officials and customers. According to Rukayat, a man dressed in a corporate outfit approached her while on a queue, along other depositors.

He claimed to be an official of the bank and demanded if I had a bank verification number, to which I answered no. He collected the money for ease of the transaction and gave me a verification form to fill”, Rukayat explained.

While she moved away to fill the form, Rukayat said, the man went to the counter and was seen talking to a teller. By the time Rukayat was done, the pretending bank official had gone. Rukayat, who works with an IPhone 6 retail shop at Balogun street, also in Ikeja, burst into tears. 

  “The money belongs to my boss. I have just been employed two weeks ago and I don’t know where to get a refund for her,” she said sobbingly.

Many bank customers were in disbelief about Rukayat’s story, while a bank security guard reportedly ordered her out of the hall. Rukayat said.

Outside the banking hall, few Bureau de Change operators sympathized with Rukayat. A middle aged Hausa-speaking man, Ibrahim Hamisu told Nigeria Newsbreak a similar incident had happened previously in the bank and the fraudster arrested. The previous fraudster, Hamisu said, acted as though he were a bank official and elected to help two girls who had come to open accounts with the task. ‘

He (fraudster) collected two laptops from the two girls and gave them forms to fill. They were able to discover who he was through the CCTV, when the ladies raised an alarm.

The bank was thoroughly searched, but the fraudster had fled by then,” Hamisu said.

Shocking: This Woman Kills Her Husband So She Can be Sleeping With His Brother

Thirty-two-year-old Sphiwe Moyo of Zvishavane and her lover, Witness Maphosa killed Knowledge. The two appeared in court on June 8, 2015, charged with murder.

Witness admitted to committing the chilling crime while his sister-in-law-cum-lover denies involvement.

Court records show that Maphosa — a gold panner — was once married to another woman whom he left before settling down with Moyo. Witness lived at the same homestead and over time became “more and more comfortable” around his brother’s wife.

And so began their adulterous affair whose passionate flickers grew into tongues of fire, consuming relationships and friendships. On June 2, 2015, the lovers allegedly stitched together a plan to murder Maphosa. Though the motive is unstated, it appears they wanted to continue their affair freely.

Moyo — it is alleged — paid Witness US$10 to carry out the hit, promising a further US$40 once the job was done. They went over the plan on June 3 while Maphosa slept in his hut.

Time was up: The target was to slip into much deeper slumber, never to awake. The two, the court heard, entered the hut and Witness got hold of an axe with which he struck Maphosa three times on the head, opening his skull.

Afterwards, they placed a rock over his head and covered the body with clothes. Moyo then sprinkled mealie-meal over the blood, locked the door from outside and disappeared into the night.

The next morning, relatives became curious when they noticed how the door had been locked.

They barged into the hut, and to their horror found Maphosa’s motionless form. As investigators camped the hut, the obvious question kept coming back: Where was Maphosa’s wife? Moyo was arrested in Mberengwa after swift detective work. She implicated Witness, who was subsequently arrested on June 6, Kuzeyanyaya News  Zimbabwe reports.
