Kano State implements Sharia Law -- Police ordered to arrest ladies dressing indecently & ban men and women sitting next to each other in a taxi
orders to arrest any cabbie carrying men
and women together in the confined space of
the three-wheeled taxis
“The way and manner some of the
commercial tricycle operators engage in
indecent dressing and carry men and
women together is disturbing,” said Yusuf
Yola, spokesman for the Hisbah board that is
responsible for ensuring compliance with
Shariah laws in Kano.
He said such dress, with pants cut off just
below the knee like Bermuda shorts, also was
“un-Hausa,” referring to the biggest tribe in
Nigeria’s north.Usually it’s women who are
the target of the Islamic pol
ce checking that they have properly covered
their heads and limbs.
Yola told The Associated Press on Monday
that 10,000 officers will be deployed to
ensure the laws are enforced, including “a
law in the state which prohibits gender mix
in commercial vehicles.”He said officers
have orders to stop and search to make sure
everyone obeys — including Christians.
In Kano on Monday, taxi driver Jamilu mai
Babur, a Muslim, was rebellious:
“I will not comply with this useless order
because Shariah is not about violating
human rights.”
Jamilu Hisba, another Muslim driver, agreed
but said he would have to obey.
“It’s against Islam, this forceful order, but
they have power over us so I must comply
because this is my means of survival.”

How Aviation Minister forced aviation agency to spend $1.6m on two armored cars for her
This is an exclusive report from
Sahara reporters with documents to back
their claim. Check on it below
SaharaReporters has obtained documents
further exposing the depth of corruption and
mismanagement of public funds at Nigeria’s
Ministry of Aviation headed by Stella Oduah.
One of the documents details how Ms. Oduah
compelled the cash-strapped Nigerian Civil
Aviation Authority (NCAA) to purchase two
armored BMW cars for the minister. NCAA is the
agency charged with ensuring the airworthiness
of commercial planes flying within Nigeria’s
airspace. Two officials of the agency told
SaharaReporters that the NCAA did not have
enough funds to upgrade equipment, send staff
for critical training, and hire enough qualified
staff. “Yet, all the minister is concerned about is
to have two exotic BMW cars from the little
money we have for operations,” one of the
sources said.
The documents obtained by SaharaReporters
indicate that the transaction for the purchase of
the two BMW vehicles started in June 2013.
However, the request for delivery of and
payment for the two vehicles was fast-tracked
between August 13 and 15 2013. The
transaction involved the NCAA, First Bank of
Nigeria, and Coscharis Motors Limited.
In a letter dated August 13, 2013, J.D
Nkemakolam of the NCAA sent a letter to the
Managing Director of Coscharis Motors asking
the company to deliver to the NCAA two BMW
760 armored vehicles based on a pro-forma
invoice dated June 25, 2013 at the cost of N127,
575,000 ($796,846.21) each. The total amount
for the two vehicles came to N255,150,000, or $
1,593,687.31. The NCAA’s letter directed
Coscharis Motors to deliver the vehicles with
sales invoices, delivery notes, and attestation
documents.
Our documents reveal that the payment for the
vehicles was made into a First Bank of Nigeria
account (number 2018912995 with sort code:
0111152303), according to a letter signed by
Godwin Umeaka, Coscharis’ group financial
controller.
The two black BMW Li HSS vehicles had chases
numbers WBAHP41050DW68032 and
WBAHP41010DW68044 respectively. The two
cars were delivered to the NCAA on August 13,
2013, where it was received by two store
managers, F. Onoabhagbe and Y.A. Amzat (who
is also the agency’s head of transport). On
August 15, 2013, Sola Ogunsakin of the NCAA
signed off to certify completion of the
transaction.
In an extensive investigation of the Aviation
sector after three air mishaps in Nigeria’s
airspace, SaharaReporters found a pattern of
questionable expenditures authorized by the
minister. Several insiders within the aviation
industry have told SaharaReporters that Ms.
Oduah and President Goodluck Jonathan had
focused on the Aviation Ministry as a source for
a series of corrupt activities.
“Under Mrs. Oduah, the ministry has carried out
many big capital development projects. But
what outsiders don’t know is that these projects
are being used to divert big amounts into private
pockets,” an aviation source said.
Our sources disclosed that the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had
investigated several corrupt practices in the
aviation sector, but added that the anti-
corruption agency never had the backbone to
act on their findings due to political pressure
from the Presidency.
Several sources at the agency told
SaharaReporters that they were not aware of
the whereabouts of the two BMW cars. Some of
the sources stated that the cars were handed to
the minister who had converted them to private
use.
Several interest groups have been demanding
the removal of Ms. Oduah, citing her corrupt
tendencies, mismanagement of aviation funds
and incompetence. Under her watch, the
Nigerian airspace has witnessed several air
mishaps that claimed the lives of at least 140
people.
A Presidency source told SaharaReporters that
Ms. Oduah still retains the confidence of
President Jonathan. She is a close associate of
Mr. Jonathan, serving as the treasurer who
handled funds for the Jonathan campaign during
the 2011 presidential election. She also co-
chaired the campaign group known as
Neighbor-To-Neighbor.

Two Somalian suicide bombers die in failed attempt to kill fans at the Nigeria-Ethopia match
Two Somali suicide bombers who had
planned to kill football fans during
Ethiopia's World Cup qualifying match
against Nigeria on Sunday blew themselves
up accidentally before carrying out the
attack, the Ethiopian government said on
Monday.
The explosion on Sunday happened in the
upscale Bole district of the capital, about 5
km (3 miles) from Addis Ababa Stadium
where thousands of fans were gathering for
the match.
"They were Somali nationals and plotted to
carry out a suicide attack disguised as fans
on either the stadium or areas where large
crowds gathered to watch the game,"
government spokesman Shimeles Kemal
said.
Explosives, arms, hand grenades and football
shirts were found at th
scene of the blast, at a residential address an
hour before kick-off, Shimeles said. Three
suspects were detained. The Bole district has
a small Somali refugee community.
"Heavy police presence must have caused
their nervousness and state of agitation
which led to the detonation that caused their
own death," Shimeles said.
There was no immediate claim of
responsibility.
Somalia's al Shabaab Islamist rebels have
vowed to exact revenge on Ethiopia for
sending troops to Somalia to fight the al
Qaeda-linked militants, alongside African
Union forces from Uganda, Burundi and
Kenya.
Ethiopia says it has thwarted attacks over the
past two years which it has blamed on
domestic rebel groups as well as the Somali
insurgents.
However, it has so far been spared the sorts
of attacks carried out in nearby countries -
such as the siege at the Nairobi mall last
month and an attack on football fans in
Uganda in 2010.
