A man identified as Gift Kenneth, has been sentenced to jail for defrauding an American lady, Lucinda Ann Garnes Henrichson, of around $902,935, Newspremises reports.

A statement by Wilson Uwujaren, Head, Media and Publicity, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), said Kenneth was jailed alongside his mother, Dora Animam, and his girlfriend, Spice Chimzi Dandy Igwe.

Animam and Igwe were arraigned on one count each by the Benin Zonal Office of the anti-graft commission for offences bordering on impersonation and obtaining by false pretence.

Kenneth, who disguised as one Raymond Carl Eric, was said to have, in 2018 and 2019, in Agbor lied to Henrichson of Texas, United States of America, about an infrastructural investment project, leading to the transfer of the money through various channels – Shuaibu Abdullahi and Dora Animam’s bank accounts.

His offences are said to be contrary to Section 22 (2)(b)(ii) of the Cybercrime (Prohibition and Prevention, Etc ) Act 2015 and punishable under section 22 (2)(b)(IV) of the same Act.

Animam, on her own side, was said to have received the money with her Diamond and Access bank accounts. She was said to have received $166,000 from Henrichson and N27 million from Abdullahi, committing an offence contrary to section 27(1)(b) and 22(2)(b)(ii) of the Cybercrime ( Prohibition Prevention, Etc) Act ,2015 and punishable under section 22 (2)(b)(IV) of the same Act.

Upon arraignment, they all pleaded guilty to the charge.

In view of their pleas, prosecution counsel, Francis. A. Jirbo prayed the court to convict and sentence the defendants accordingly.

Justice Olubanjo convicted and sentenced both Gift Kenneth and his mother, Dora Animam to five years imprisonment or a fine of N3 million each while Spice Chimzi Dandy Igwe was sentenced to two years imprisonment or a fine of N100,000.

A Mercedes Benz CL250, Mercedes Benz 300, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone XX Max, Apple MacBook Pro, two Apple Mac books were recovered from Kenneth.

Also, a twin four-bedroom uncompleted duplex in Asaba was recovered as well as the sum of N4 million were recovered.

Henrichson was also refunded the sum of $4,255, recovered from Kenneth’s contractor, through the US Embassy.

Real Madrid have confirmed that striker Karim Benzema has tested positive for COVID-19, Newspremises reports.

The LaLiga giants, who have replaced Zinedine Zidane with Carlo Ancelotti, are already in preseason ahead of the 2021/2022 season.

However, Benzema will play no part in pre-season training, as he must now take in a period of self-isolation.

A terse statement on Real’s official website reads: “Real Madrid C. F. confirm that our player Karim Benzema has tested positive for Covid-19.”

He will not be cleared to rejoin the rest of Ancelotti’s squad before a negative test has been posted.

Benzema has already made a delayed return to the Real fold following his involvement with France at Euro 2020.

Kano State Government has made National Identification Number, NIN mandatory for students of government secondary schools in the state.

The state Commissioner for Education, Muhammad Sanusi
Sa’id Kiru who announced the new directive in a statement signed by his Public Relations Officer, Aliyu Yusuf said the students (JSS 1 to SS 2) must register and obtain the number.

Kiru said the directive becomes imperative to enable the ministry to establish an updated data base for all students in the state for the purposes of budgetary planning, keeping
optimum records to eradicate manipulations of students record
during examinations and, chances for malpractices.

He said it is also to ensure prudent and judicious application of government funds in the provision of qualitative education in the state.

The statement reads, “The Kano State Ministry of Education has revealed that all students in Public Secondary Schools Must register and obtain National Identification Number (NIN)
ftom JSS 1 to SS 2.

“That enrolling the student will enable the Ministry record demographic data, capture the 10 fingerprints, head to
shoulder facial picture and digital signature of each student.

“The Hon. Commissioner therefore called on the management of KSSSMB, Zonal Directors, Principals and Principal Directors to ensure strict adherence to the new directive as new biodata form has been designed to capture all the information needed.

“Consequently, the ministry has concluded arrangements in
conjunction with the state office of the National Identity Card Management to facilitate the issuance of the NIN number on Zonal basis.

“Hon. Muhammad Sanusi Kiru also warned that no student will be registered for Bece, Placement, qualifying or any other transitional examinations without the NIN number including also sponsorship of any external examinations by the state
government.

“To this effect, forms are to be distributed to all secondary schools to ensure that their students are properly captured and
documented. The staff of the NIMC will soon commence the NIN registration across the schools,” the statement concluded.

Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has disclosed that custodial centres across the country were majorly congested by inmates awaiting trial, constituting numerous challenges for correctional services.

This is as he charged state governors to do the needful for inmates on death row to reduce pressure on custodial facilities, making case for those with a terminal illness or old age to be set free on compassionate ground and commute others to either life imprisonment or specific terms.

Aregbesola who spoke at the official commissioning of Osun State Command Headquarters of Correctional Office Complex in Osogbo, said 50,992 inmates are awaiting trials while 17, 755 are actual convicts.

He added that the maximum capacity of the nation’s custodial capacity is 57,278 inmates but presently housed 68,747 inmates, adding that in a bid to decongest the facilities, Federal Government last year introduced a presidential pardon and amnesty programme for inmates, through which 5,000 inmates have so far been released.

The Minister adds, “One main challenge of the correctional service, therefore, is congestion of the custodial facilities. The entire national custodial facilities have a maximum capacity of 57,278 inmates.

But by the last count earlier in the week, there is a total population of 68,747 inmates, made up of 67,422 males and 1,325 females. We have therefore shot above the capacity by 18 per cent.

“But I must add that the congestion is an urban phenomenon limited to big cities like Lagos, Kano, Port Harcourt and others. There are facilities in non-urban areas that are underpopulated. It is in the urban areas that most of the crimes are committed and relevant courts are located, leading to the overstretching of the custodial facilities located in such cities.

“It should also be noted that 50,992 inmates, representing 74 per cent of the total population of inmates in our custodial centres are awaiting trial inmates while only 17,755 inmates which is a mere 26 per cent are actual convicts”.

He added that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration is taking serious effort at addressing the infrastructure deficit through the provision of facilities and policy.

“The challenges of safe and effective custody at the custodial centres come therefore from the awaiting trial inmates, given their numerical strength. This fact greatly limits our capacity for corrections, since awaiting trial inmates being suspects, can only be accommodated and not reformed.

Reformation comes after conviction and not before. This is the reality of the management of inmates that must be squarely registered in the minds of the Nigerian public for a better appreciation of the service and its limitations at the rehabilitation, reformation and reintegration of convicts and a reduction in recidivism.

“But the government has been addressing this challenge of congestion. Last year, at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Federal Government, through the Ministries of Interior and Justice, initiated a presidential pardon and amnesty programme for inmates. Some federal offenders benefited from the programme and got reprieves, while the state governments got recommendations and guidelines for the release of their own convicts. More than 5,000 inmates have so far being released under the programme, which is ongoing.

“The government is building a 3,000 high-capacity custodial centre in each of Karchi, Abuja FCT, Kano, Kano State, and Bori in Rivers State. Each of these high capacity facilities will have courts for the trial of the inmates. The plan is to extend it to the six geo-political zones in the country. The Kano project is nearing completion. When these projects are completed, they will ease congestion considerably and enhance the capacity to manage our facilities for corrections”, he said.

Aregbesola also charged the state government to collaborate with the federal government by taking the bold step to sign off on inmates on death roll, as there were 3008 such inmates across custodial centres in the country, seek quick dispensation of Justice and partner with FG to build holding centres.

In his remark, Osun state Governor, Mr Adegboyega Oyetola called for proper rehabilitation and reintegration of inmates into society to enhance the collective and sustainable development of the country.

Also the Controller General of Corrections, Haliru Nababa disclosed that since the inception of the present administration, the service had been relieved of having to resort to makeshift arrangements for office and holding facilities.
