Chinese man lands in court for bribery & fraudulently acquiring ₦301million

Chinese man lands in – The Chinese man dishonestly…
The Chinese man dishonestly converted ₦301 million to his personal use.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday brought a Chinese, Zhengjia Jin, before an Ikeja Special Offences Court, for alleged bribery and ₦301 million fraud.
Jin was arraigned on a four-count charge bordering on retention of stolen property, bribery and stealing. The EFCC counsel, Ahmad Usman, told the court that the defendant allegedly committed the offences between March 5 and August 9 in Lagos.
He alleged that the defendant dishonestly retained an aggregate sum of ₦301 million in his account number- 1861390260 domiciled in Access Bank, which belonged to Golden Diamond Industrial Manufacturing Company Ltd.
The prosecutor submitted that the defendant, while working at the company, accepted directly into his bank account the said money as kickbacks from vendors, thereby conferring undue advantage for himself.
The prosecutor said that the defendant’s action was contrary to the company’s employee condition of service. The anti-graft agency also stated that the defendant dishonestly converted ₦301 million to his personal use.
According to EFCC, the offences contravene Sections 83, 328, Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011 and Sections 280 (2) and 287 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015. The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The Defence Counsel, Mr A.C. Ezenduka informed the court of a bail application. Counsel to EFCC, however, told the court that the prosecution had not been served.
Justice Rahman Oshodi, remanded the defendant at Ikoyi Custodial Centre, pending hearing of his bail application. Oshodi adjourned the case until November 22 for a hearing of bail application.

Security report, not Tinubu, blocked El-Rufai’s ministerial nomination – Omokri

Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir el-Rufai has accused President Bola Tinubu and National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu of orchestrating his failed ministerial nomination.
Speaking on Arise Television on Monday, el-Rufai alleged, “The President did not want me in his cabinet.”
However, public affairs analyst Reno Omokri has refuted the claim, asserting that security concerns, not political manoeuvring, led to el-Rufai’s exclusion.
“Nothing could be further from the truth. President Tinubu nominated him, and his name was duly sent to the National Assembly,” Omokri stated.
Omokri explained that el-Rufai failed the mandatory security clearance required for ministerial appointments.

He said multiple security agencies flagged the former governor as a “diplomatic liability” due to his controversial past statements and actions.

One such incident cited was El-Rufai’s 2019 threat to European Union election observers, where he warned, “We are waiting for the person who will come and intervene. They will go back in body bags.”
El-Rufai’s alleged role in ‘Zaria Shiite Massacre’ of 2015
Additionally, Omokri highlighted El-Rufai’s alleged role in the Zaria Shiite Massacre of 2015, where 438 civilians were killed, as well as accusations of funding violent herdsmen responsible for attacks in Southern Kaduna.
Other concerns raised included El-Rufai’s demolition of political opponents’ homes, including those of Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi and APC chieftain Inuwa Abdulkadir.
He was also criticised for authorising the demolition of Aisha Yakubu’s property over an alleged “sex party,” later proven to be a hoax.

Religious intolerance was another factor flagged in the security report. Omokri recalled el-Rufai’s 2013 derogatory remarks about Jesus Christ and his 2019 assertion that “even if I bring the Pope, Christians will never vote for me.”
Omokri noted that el-Rufai was not the only nominee denied clearance.
Others, such as Danladi Sani from Taraba and Stella Okotete from Delta, also failed to screen but did not blame the President or NSA.
“El-Rufai is simply bitter that his ministerial ambition was blocked, and in his frustration, he is attacking those focused on Nigeria’s progress,” Omokri concluded.
