NigeriaWeeklyNews /////////////////////////////////////////// Breaking NEWS:Obasanjo under attack for calling lawmakers robbers Posted: 24 May 2012 05:24 AM PDT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r... Copyright©2012:NigeriaWeeklyNews Obasanjo spoke on Tuesday at the Fourth Annual Conference of the Academy for Entrepreneur Studies Nigeria (AES) at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs (NIIA) in Lagos. Former Head of State Gen. Yakubu Gowon and former Interim National Government (ING) head Ernest Shonekan also spoke at the conference. The Senate requested Obasanjo to name the rogues in the National Assembly. The House of Representatives mandated its Committee on Ethics and Privileges to investigate the statement. The Chairman, Senate Committee on Information, Media and Public Affairs, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, at a news conference, challenged Obasanjo to name the rogues and criminals in the spirit of transparency and openness. Obasanjo, according to media reports, descended on the Legislature, the Judiciary and the Police, describing them as corrupt. Obasanjo was quoted as saying: “Integrity is necessary for systems and institutions to be strong. Today, rogues, armed robbers are in the State Houses of Assembly and the National Assembly. What sort of laws will they make? “The judiciary is also corrupt. During my tenure, many of the corrupt judges were removed, some are still there. “If the judiciary becomes corrupt, where is the hope for the nation? Justice, no doubt, will go to the highest bidder. The judiciary did not see anything wrong with a former governor but the same set of evidence was used to sentence him in the United Kingdom.

Copyright©2012:NigeriaWeeklyNews A Scotland Yard anti-corruption detective and three ex-officers from the Met were arrested yesterday amid claims serving police were pocketing bribes worth up to £20,000 from private investigators. Officers are accused of taking money for information about an inquiry into a politician who defrauded a Nigerian state of more than £150million. The 45-year-old detective constable is being questioned on suspicion of providing information about Nigerian fraudster James Ibori in return for cash. Two private investigators, aged 53 and 58, and another man are being held in connection with providing the money after raids at the London offices of Risc Management Ltd. The Metropolitan Police confirmed yesterday the firm has previously worked with the force. A lawyer told MPs at a Parliamentary inquiry yesterday into the work of private investigators that he had evidence of substantial cash payments made over nine months. Mike Schwarz said invoices from a law firm reveal an undetected case of ‘apparent corruption right at the heart of Scotland Yard.’ He accused a handful of senior officers responsible for orchestrating the inquiry of also leaking information for cash. If true, the incendiary allegations would ignite a fresh scandal at the London force which remains embroiled in a damaging race row. And they would raise serious questions about links between police and private investigators who want to obtain information to undermine the criminal justice system. The claims centre on a wide-ranging and complex inquiry into the James Ibori, the former governor of Nigeria’s Delta State. He was jailed for 13 years last month after admitting he embezzled huge sums to fund a lavish international lifestyle for his family.former Governor James Ibori Bribe scandal rocks Scotland Yard.
