London court seizes £5,000, $2,000 from Diezani’s Mother

 

The United Kingdom’s National Crime Agency secured the seizure of the sum of £5,000 and $2,000  from Mrs. Beatrice Agama, the mother of the former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke. The court also seized £10,000 from Melanie Spencer, one of the other persons arrested in the case.
United Kingdom’s National Crime Agency secured the seizure of the sum of £27,000 (N8,155,164.37) in the case involving the former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke at the Westminster Magistrates Court, London.
As earlier reported, the former Minister was not in court but her mother, Beatrice Agama and one Melanie Spencer, were in court.
The IMMEDIATE past Petroleum Resources Minister, Mrs Alison-Madueke, was arrested on Friday with four other people by the International Corruption Unit (ICU) of the UK’s National Crimes Agency. She was however granted bail after she had been detained for several hours. According to London Police she will be charged to court for money laundering.
The agency announced on its website on Friday that it had arrested five people “across London” as part of an investigation into suspected bribery and money laundering offences but stopped short of naming the suspects.
The Presidency on Sunday confirmed her arrest, saying it is working closely with British law enforcement over allegations of corruption and money laundering levelled against the former minister.
The Asokoro, Abuja residence of the immediate-past minister of Petroleum Resources was also stormed by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), in what has been described as part of a multinational investigation of the former minister.
According to a security source, EFCC made “significant recovery” of documents at her Abuja residence.

Ladies get in here

"For me, feminism is about justice. I’m a feminist because I want to live in a world that is more just. I’m a feminist because I want to live in a world where a woman is never told that she can or cannot or should or should not do anything because she is a woman. I want to live in a world where men and women are happier. Where they are not constrained by gender roles. I want to live in a world where men and women are truly equal. And that’s why I’m a feminist.      "When I was 16 I don’t think I knew what the word ‘feminist’ meant. I don’t think I knew the word at all. But I was a feminist. And I hope that all ladies that will read this article on my blog will also decide that they’re feminists.     "Mostly, I hope very soon that one day we will not need to be feminists. Because we will live in a world that is truly just and equal."

Justin Bieber Slams Back At 5 Seconds Of Summer Singer Michael Clifford

Justin Bieber slammed back at Michael Clifford after the 5 Seconds of Summer singer was quoted in a Rolling Stone cover story that he thinks Bieber “hates us.” The “What Do You Mean” singer responded, “Don’t even know u,” and refuted Clifford’s claim that at Bieber’s American Music Awards after-party, he had “his own album on loop for, like, two or three hours.” A more apologetic Clifford later tweeted at Bieber that he’s always been a “big fan” of his. Late on Saturday night, Bieber seemingly tweeted and deleted a series messages to Clifford that began, “sorry guy. Don’t hate you. Don’t even know u.” He added, “And are u sure u came to our party because my album wan’t on loop? Strange.” Bieber went on to write, “wish u the best. Don’t use my name for headlines. U are already on the cover. U don’t need it. Just be honest. Big hugs buds.” The Biebs concluded his tweets, “And now can we call move on. No hate all love. Happy to make it clear. Happy times.” Looking to move on, as well,...
