“Ancient of days, as old as you are you remain the same... “ In 2017, governor Akinwumi Ambode decided to get rid of “Danfos” in Lagos because they didn’t fit the modern city that Lagos is. This is because most of the Danfos appear old and rickety. But in all of these actions that threatened the existence and operations of Danfos, the stakeholders remained resolute and till now these buses are still operating and serving about 30million people in Lagos. . . 📷: Nana Osei - 2019 . . #lagos #nigeria #broadstreet #africa #transportation #danfo #buses #city #modern #governor #akinwunmiambode #ashantiimmigrant #streetstyle #streetphotography #afrospacetime #dancegathering #ancient #operations #existence #everydayafrica #dynamicafrica #visiterlafrique (at Lagos, Nigeria) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvw1B56gnL1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pt99uejryusk

Why EFCC Is After Former Governor Ambode

...The Herbert Wigwe, Access Bank Connection Unsavoury details continue to emerge following the raid by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on the Epe and Ikoyi, Lagos homes of former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, Tuesday morning. The anti-graft agency’s operatives had stormed the Epe country home of Ambode but were prevented from gaining entry by a horde of youth. In a statement by his media aide, Habib Aruna, the former governor, who is out of the country, said that the EFCC operatives’ visit to his houses was without any prior notice. According to the statement, “These searches were carried out extensively and the operatives left without any incident. The former governor reiterates that the EFCC has till date not had any direct communication with him on any subject matter whatsoever and if or when it occurs, he is ready and willing to respond.” Reacting, Tony Orilade, spokesman of the EFCC, said the search on the house was not a raid, but part of an ongoing investigation which is “in line with (the EFCC’s) mandate and the rule of law.” Orilade further said, “We need to state for the records that the EFCC did not raid Ambode’s house. It is instructive that his administration, like other former governors, is under investigation since they no longer constitutionally enjoy immunity against prosecution.” As a tradition, the commission, Orilade stated, does not carry out an investigation on the pages of the newspapers or through the media; “Our operations are always covert until at a time when we file charges in court. Therefore, the attempt to cast the commission in a bad light is unacceptable as the EFCC will never engage in an illegal act. We remain committed to the war against corruption.” Indeed, Ambode has come under the scrutiny of the public and the EFCC for financial malfeasances being unearthed during his tenure as governor of Lagos State between 2015 and 2019. Apart from the multi-billion dollar Visionscape deal which many describe as his greatest injustice to the Lagos economy, it has emerged that Ambode awarded many opaque deals that did not go through due process. A case in point is that of Craneburg Construction established in 2016, one year into Ambode’s administration, and purportedly owned by his bosom friend, Herbert Wigwe, the Group MD/CEO of Access Bank Plc. Without previous construction experience, Ambode reportedly awarded the company a $300million deal for road projects around select areas of the state particularly his Epe constituency. Not just that, sources in the EFCC say Ambode is also being investigated for his dealings with the bank over his four-year administration. Whilst the investigation continues to dig deep, Ambode has decided to stay put in London. What is he scared of? Read the full article

Confusion as EFCC denies raiding Ambode’s home

In spite a video circulating on the social media the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has denied raiding the residence of the immediate past Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode. The EFCC, in a statement on its Instagram page on Tuesday said it had been inundated with calls that operatives of the Commission raided the residence of the former governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode. “We need to state for the records that the EFCC did not raid Ambode’s house. It is instructive that his administration, like other former governors is under investigation, since they no longer constitutionally enjoy immunity against prosecution. “The Commission hereby states with high sense of responsibility that the operatives did not raid Ambode’s residence. “Whatever the Commission is presently doing with regards to the investigation is in line with its mandate and the rule of law. “We wish to inform the social media to be circumspect in the reportage of any news with regards to investigation activities of the Commission,” the statement said. “Our operations are always covert until at a time when we file charges in court. “Therefore, the attempt to cast the Commission in a bad light is unacceptable as the EFCC will never engage in illegal act. We remain committed to the war against corruption.” Meanwhile, a trending video on a twitter handle @iamsegmartins, however, showed some angry residence of Epe community speaking on the raid. A voice in the background of the video could be heard saying that youths of the area prevented EFCC personnel from gaining access to the former governor’s residence. Read the full article

Lagos Council ‘Officials’ In Habitual Extortion Mess

The menace of so-called Lagos State council officials extorting members of the public seems to be getting to the climax, given an ongoing development reported at Coker/Aguda local council development area (LCDA). Mid 2017, the state government, under the immediate past governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, had banned local councils and their officials from controlling or engaging in traffic duties, which obviously was an illegality that provided steady income for them. Having been officially disabled, the council workers reportedly shifted their focus within the council’s radius allegedly squeezing Nigerians who have legitimate transactions to do in the local governments of their lawful earning. There have been hundreds of complaints about the role and conduct of these councils’ officials afterwards. There was a recent case involving a Lagos based couple, Mr and Mrs Nze (not real names), who claimed they were forced to have a taste of the impunity by the Coker/Aguda council workers, in particular. Their black Toyota Highlander was almost damaged while being mobbed by the council workers who demanded an outrageous fee before they would be allowed to park the car within the Council premises.

The Toyota Highlander; number plate removed

Front view of Coker/Aguda LCDA The couple corroborated the finding by Global Excellence of a clique within the council led by one Hafiz who habitually forces vehicle owners to part with money allegedly beyond the regulated fee irrespective of the visitors’ mission in the council. According to the couple, it is even a worse case if the visitor decides to skip the undue charges and move his/her car out of the council’s premises, as the council officials would, without any form of identification, either puncture the car tires or yank the vehicles’ number plates. “In spite of coming to transact business in the council, we were refused parking without paying N500. And when we decided to park outside the secretariat, the officials without ID cards or official tags rushed at us, deflated our car’s tires and even had the effrontery to remove the car’s number plates,” stressed Mrs. Nze, who alleged that she witnessed other victims being brazenly demanded to pay between N1000 and N5000 to retrieve their cars’ number plates by the Hafiz-led gang. Investigations done by Global Excellence revealed that this type of operation is carried out daily in few other Councils in Lagos State. When this magazine made a covert visit to Coker/Aguda council to seek audience with the said Hafiz, some tough looking chaps suspected to be members of the gang, claimed there was nobody bearing that name there. A recognized official in the Council who didn’t want his name mentioned, told Global Excellence that “this is a new development and we shall carry out a thorough investigation to get to the root of the matter because we are unaware that such thing is happening here.” The rebuttal by the council official nonetheless, Lagosians are of the hope that the Lagos State Ministry of Transportation and that of Trade and Industry urgently render to the public their recognized list of unions authorized to collect funds from members of the public. -Biodun Fariogun Read the full article
