"The truth is that the Vice-President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, will now represent the President in Lagos. The President is faced with scheduling difficulties and that is the reason for the postponement of the visit. He needs more time for Lagos and for Edo which had earlier been stepped down. As a result of this, the visit has been scaled down and he is being represented by the VP, who is going to Lagos to commission a few projects, leaving the rest for Mr. President. The President will undertake these visits after the Ramadan"he said.Garba said President Buhari will visit Lagos after Ramadan which is likely to begin on June 6th and end in early July. President Buhari was scheduled to be in Lagos today to begin a two day state visit whih will see him commission some projects and also pay a visit to the Oba of Lagos. His visit would have been the first visit of a sitting President to Lagos in the last 15 years.

Pastor Gives Out 16 SUVs,16 cars,Millions Of Naira To Celebrate Birthday
By Unknown - Sunday, May 22, 2016
The Senior Pastor of Champions Royal Assembly, Kubwa, Abuja, Joshua Iginla on Sunday, gave out 32 cars out of which were 16 SUVs to celebrate his birthday.
Iginla also gave out money running into several millions of naira to the aged, widows, orphanages and scholarships to orphans from nursery school to university.
Six Nollywood actors and actresses got Hummer jeep 3 series, Mercedes G-Wagon and Mercedes CLS 550. They include Jide Kosoko, Francis Duru, Alex Usifo, Ngozi Osondu, Thelma Nwosu and Sunday Omobolanle, popularly known as Babaluwe. Artisans got generators and cash gifts while the widows got deep freezers, rice and cash gifts ranging from N150,000 to N1.5 million. Treasure Orphanage Foundation, Nyanya, Divine Wound Orphanage, Kubwa and Christ Home Foundation, Kuje, got N1.5 million each and rice while some orphans in the homes were awarded scholarships from nursery to university. Iginla said he had 782 widows and orphans he caters for. “It doesn’t matter to me if I trek home as I have given even the car that I personally drive. “I can only drive one car and live in one house at a time.
This understanding is what has taught me that when I die, others will inherit my assets. “The beauty of life is not in its duration but in its donation. I have not seen some of the beneficiaries before in my life or spoken to them. “I’m seeing many of them for the first time today. I am seeing Jide Kosoko for the first time”, he said. Iginla also said he gave cars to the Nollywood actors because many of them were poor but people erroneously think they were rich. According to him, the fruit of the Nollywood artistes were being reaped by pirates and challenged government to do something to arrest it.
“The Nollywood actors and actresses are our ambassadors; they have projected the image of this country positively”, he said. Kosoko, who confirmed he was meeting Iginla for the first time, commended him for his philanthropy. Iginla had, in 2015, given 18 cars and millions of naira as birthday gifts to people to celebrate his birthday. (NAN)
Vanguard reportage
A police officer has been removed from a UK anti-corruption unit after claims he was paid for information about a case against jailed former Delta State governor, James Ibori.
Ibori is in prison for fraud and money-laundering linked to his time as governor.
The Crown Prosecution Service said it had intelligence which “supports the assertion” a Met officer was paid for information. He denied wrongdoing.
The CPS previously denied claims it had not handed over all key evidence.
Ibori was jailed in 2012 for 13 years for laundering millions in the UK through the purchase of property, a fleet of armoured Range Rovers and a £120,000 Bentley. more stories after the cut..........

Ibori was jailed in 2012 for 13 years for laundering millions in the UK through the purchase of property, a fleet of armoured Range Rovers and a £120,000 Bentley. more stories after the cut..........
Det Sgt John McDonald, who is accused of receiving payment in return for providing information about the case, headed the police investigation. He has always denied any wrongdoing.
Det Sgt McDonald has been removed from the National Crime Agency’s International Corruption Unit, where he had been on secondment. He has returned to the Met, where a review of his status has begun.
The CPS has also replaced the prosecution team involved in ongoing cases connected to the Ibori affair, although it stressed the lawyers still retained its full confidence.
The CPS has also replaced the prosecution team involved in ongoing cases connected to the Ibori affair, although it stressed the lawyers still retained its full confidence.
Since Ibori’s conviction, defence lawyers have claimed the CPS “willfully misled” judges about the existence of evidence that Det Sgt McDonald took money in return for information about the case.
If that was to be accepted, Ibori’s legal team would seek to have their client’s conviction overturned by the Court of Appeal on the basis that there had been abuse of the process.
At a hearing on Thursday, Ibori’s lawyer, Ivan Krolic, said prosecutors had consistently and deliberately manipulated the system.
“Our argument is that the whole process is infected,” he told Southwark Crown Court.
The CPS has now issued a statement confirming that a review is under way into aspects of the Ibori case.
“The CPS undertook to review aspects of the disclosure related to this case,” it said.
“Initial results have found that material exists to support the assertion that a police officer received payment in return for disclosing information about the investigation.
“We are working to establish whether this material could or should have been disclosed earlier.
“Any further material that fails to be disclosed as a result of that continuing review will be done so as soon as possible.”
DfID funded a team of Scotland Yard officers specifically to get Ibori extradited to the UK for a trial designed to send a message to corrupt officials in Africa.
The International Development Secretary at the time of Ibori’s conviction, Andrew Mitchell, said the sentence sent “a strong and important message to those who seek to use Britain as a refuge for their crimes”.
However, before Ibori was sentenced, there were claims that police investigating him had received thousands of pounds from private detectives hired by the Nigerian fraudster.
An anonymous bundle of documents was sent to the Metropolitan Police, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) and others.
Among the papers were what purported to be invoices detailing payments of thousands of pounds to a “source for information provided” and claims that the recipient was a police officer.
The allegations were eventually investigated by Scotland Yard’s Directorate of Professional Standards (DPS), the division responsible for rooting out police corruption in the Met.
The DPS concluded the invoices were forgeries and “no misconduct was identified” in the case of Det Sgt McDonald.
Penultimate week, a letter was sent by the CPS to the Court of Appeal alerting judges to previously undisclosed and relevant documentation.
“There exists intelligence that supports the assertion that, on or about 10 September 2007, JMD [Det Sgt John McDonald] received payment in return for information in respect of the Ibori case,” the letter says.
Following the disclosure by the CPS, the National Crime Agency, which investigates serious organised crime, said it was agreed that Det Sgt McDonald’s secondment to the International Corruption Unit should come to an end and he would return to Scotland Yard.
Confirming that an officer was returning from the National Crime Agency, Scotland Yard said only that an unnamed officer “is subject to an internal review of their status”.
The police statement said that the DPS Anti-Corruption Command had already carried out an investigation into intelligence that suggested a serving police officer had received payment for information.
“That allegation was thoroughly investigated to prove or disprove the evidence of corruption,” the statement said.
“The investigation resulted in no arrests, charges or identified misconduct.”
