Gov.Ortom's SSA Dragged, Gagged And Bundled Into Police Van Over Alleged 'Fraud' In Benue State

-
Yesterday, Professor Jonathn Uever, a Senior Special Assitant to the Benue State Governor on Youths and Sports, was manhandled,gagged,ruffled and bundled by police at Wadata over unpaid 2million loan he took during a transaction and refused to payback as promised.

 According to an eye witness Lois Iorvihi who was at the scene when the ugly incident took place, she said the frustrated aide who was being ruffled by security operatives, after a while, was allowed to make some calls to some persons to assist for his bail but there went nsuccessful.

 Read what she wrote below...

   While serving as SSA to the Governor at the Bureau of Lands, there was some money borrowed from one Mr. Har Orpin by government for the creation of a layout. 

 Government reportedly paid Mr. Orpin some of the money borrowed with land allocation and left with the balance of N2m. 

 All of the lenders efforts to get back his N2m naira proved abortive. So yesterday, while shopping for Okrika😁 in Wadata market, I saw a crowd in A Division police station and with the fragile state of our Benue lately, I didn't want to be caught in any Fulani brouhaha so I prodded and this was the story. 

 Mr. Har Orpin reported the matter in Abuja and the police sent a very senior officer who drove in a Toyota Camry straight to Makurdi and arrested Prof. Uever.

  I was there when the Prof. was frantically making calls to Terwase Orbunde but non was picked until I left at about 6pm. Hon. Bem Dzoho was also there.

 She also added that the accused was not bail as all calls he put through powerful politicians in the state went unanswered. 

It could be recalled that, Professor Uever, was made an SSA to  Bureau of Lands by governor Samuel Ortom but later, moved to work in the capacity of SSA on Youths and Sports where he is currently serving.

 Meanwhile, social media users have questioned why a professor should even accept to serve as an SSA to a governor.  While others said the case was a civil matter which shouldn't have involved the police in the first place..

A new vaccine-based treatment for HIV has succeeded in suppressing the virus in five patients, raising hopes further research could help prevent Aids without the need for daily drugs. Independent of the United Kingdom reported on Friday that researchers combined two innovative HIV vaccines with a drug usually used to treat cancer in the trial, conducted over three years at the IrsiCaixa Aids Research Institute in Barcelona. After receiving the treatment, the virus was undetectable in five out of 24 participants and its spread was stopped by their immune systems, reported the New Scientist. One of them has been drug-free for seven months. Around 18 million people – half of all those living with HIV around the world – take ART to slow the progression of the infection, according to the UN. But these drugs are expensive and can cause unpleasant side effects. Patients have to remember to take them every day, sometimes over their entire lives. Mitchell Warren, executive dire

Nigeria's imediate past minister of Finance ,Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has been indicted by the Nigerian senate over a N1.7t loss in revenue. According to the Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Alleged Misuse, Under-Remittance and Other Fraudulent Activities, revenue agencies short-changed the Federal Government to the tune of N1.7tn as unremitted revenue generated between 2012 and 2016. The panel blamed it on a memo by a former Minister of Finance, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who allegedly issued the memo to the agencies to remit 25 per cent of revenue they generated to the Federal Government and spend 75 per cent on their expenditures. An interim report by the committee chaired by Senator Olamilekan Adeola, details this. The panel said the amount to be remitted to the Federal Government during the period by 93 agencies it investigated was N21.5tn. It alleged that 25 of the 93 agencies covered defrauded the government of a total of N1,695,585,887,406.
