Former EFFC Operative Arraigned Over Fake University Certificate

Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arraigned a former operative of the commission, one Femi Ajibade for allegedly forging his university degree.

The Head of Media and Publicity, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, said that the former operative of the commission was arraigned before Justice Olasumbo Goodluck of the FCT High Court, Abuja on a two count charge bordering on forgery.

Uwujaren said accused allegedly forged a Bachelor of Science Degree Certificate of the University of Ilorin which he used to secure employment into the commission.

He said that the forgery was uncovered by the EFCC during a certificate verification exercise considered a standard procedure for the regularization of the employment of newly recruited personnel.

However, Uwujaren said that the accused pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Ajibade is being accused of producing a Bachelor of Science Degree in Geology and Mineral Sciences of the University of Ilorin, with a Second Class Honours Upper Division.

The certificate with 004675, dated 24th November, 2004 was purportedly signed by the Vice Chancellor and the Registrar of the university who purportedly awarded him with the degree.

Over Here Guys!; Mosanto Develops Revolutionary New Penis-Enlarging Corn Crop. (Must Read)

The multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, Monsanto, announced this morning, that they had genetically engineered a modified corn crop, designed to help men have larger penises and longer-lasting erections. The company’s scientists used genes from a number of plants to create this surprising species of transgenic corn, described as “more efficient than any penis-enlarging pill”. They notably used genetic material from a plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia, called Eurycoma Longifolia or Tongkat Ali , which is known for its ability to raise testosterone levels. They also used genes from watermelon, as its rind is a good natural source of citrulline, a dietary precursor which causes the penis to fill up nitric oxide. This relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessels and erectile organs, augmenting the penis’ capacity for enlargement during erection. “Men will...

Justice And The Killer Cop

NOT surprisingly, and for good reasons too, security agencies, in particular the Nigeria Police, have been placed on the spot by local and international human rights communities for their highhandedness in dealing with suspects in custody or at points of arrest. Quite a number of extra-judicial killings and tortures in these circumstances have been highlighted by the local media too. Against this background, the judgment of the Bayelsa State High Court, Nembe Division, sitting in Yenagoa, delivered by Justice Lucky Boufili sending killer policeman, Matthew Egheghe, to the gallows is most welcome. It is a bold statement that the law frowns at cruelty by uniformed officers of the state and that an appropriate premium is placed on life by the Nigerian state. That judgment would not bring back the dead, but it should to some extent console their grieving families that justice was served to the guilty. It would equally serve as a deterrent to trigger-h...
