r
Notorious kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, aka Evans, is now cooling his heels at the ‘VIP wing’ of the police cell at the Force Investigation and Intelligence Department (FCIID), Garki, in the Federal Capital Teritory after he was transferred there for further findings into his case.
Reports say Evans and his accomplices were transferred from Lagos to Abuja last Monday by men of the IG Intelligence Response Team on the express instructions of the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, in order to ensure proper and unhindered investigation into his criminal activities.
According to a source, security around the FCIID has been beefed up in order to forestall any breach on the facility and also safeguard the cell where other notorious crime suspects were being detained.
The source said; “Evans was brought to the FCIID on Monday and since then, the atmosphere changed. You now have more security personnel on duty as part of measures to prevent any unpleasant development. Some unidentified persons have also been visiting the suspect.”

NEITI: All of Nigeria’s oil savings can’t fund 20% of 2017 budget Nigeria Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (NEITI) says all of the country’s oil savings since the inception of its savings history cannot fund 20% of 2017 budget. In its second occasional paper series unveiled on Tuesday by Waziri Adio, its executive secretary, NEITI, said: “Nigeria has about three decades of experience in implementing different oil revenue funds. However, attempts at oil revenue savings have been plagued by contested legal frameworks, governance issues and inadequate political will. “Nigeria has one of lowest natural resource revenue savings in the world. The balance in the three funds (0.5% stabilization fund, ECA and NSIA) is less than $3.9 billion, not enough to fund 20% of 2017’s federal budget. “Nigeria’s $1.5 billion sovereign wealth fund is one of the lowest in the world, has one of the worst ratio to annual budget (10%), and one of the lowest SWF per capital ($8)...

THE PLACE OF ETCHE NATION/ MARGINALISATION IN RIVERS STATE POLITICS BY OTHER BLOCS. By com. Noble C Nwugha It is over 50 years since the creation of our dear Rivers State. Precisely, the 27th day of May 1967 marked a watershed in the birth of the treasure base of our dear country. And then followed by the creation of the LGAs of Etche and Omuma which left no dent nor severance in the filiation and consangunity of the Etche bloc ( both LGAs) as a nation. Irrefutably, the carving out of Etche LGA from Ikwerre LGA and siting of the headquarters in Okehi, and later Eberi as the headquarters of Omuma just for political and administrative convenience, is what could be described as the only government structure or institution in the whole of Etche ethnic nationality, despite her huge economic and political contributions to the country's treasury vis-a-vis her ever abundant human resources.
