A court remands a senator in prison for forging a NYSC certificate.

 

A High Court in Apo, Abuja, has remanded Senator Benson Konbowei, who is currently serving, to Kuje Correctional Center for suspected forgery of the NYSC exemption certificate.



On March 26, 2024, the Bayelsa Central Senator was arraigned before Justice Christopher Oba.

The Inspector General of Police charged Konbowei with fraudulently forging a document named "Certificate of Exemption" with number 000256454 and dated July 4, 2008, in the case designated CR/028/2023.

According to the police, the Senator violated the Penal Code Act (CAP 532 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990) Sections 366, 156, and 158, and was subject to penalty under Section 364 of the same Act.

When the Senator was first charged earlier on Tuesday, he entered a not guilty plea to the allegations.

He was given permission to return home by the court, and his bail application hearing was rescheduled until Thursday, March 28, 2024.

The court gave the Senator N50 million in bail with two sureties after hearing arguments from the attorneys involved in the case.

According to Justice Oba, the sureties had to be landowners in the Federal Capital Territory with Certificates of Occupancy.

However, the senator was placed under detention in the Kuje Correctional Center by the judge until his bail requirements were fulfilled.

The hearing on the subject was postponed to June 24, 25, and 27.

SWAN: Team Nigeria's appalling performance at the Paris Olympics is unacceptable.

The performance of Team Nigeria in the 2024 Olympic Games has been characterized as significantly below expectations by the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN). Through the Secretary-General of the Association, Amb. Ikenna Okonkwo, SWAN President Mr. Isaiah Benjamin issued a statement stating that Nigeria's failure to return from the recently concluded Olympics with a medal was unacceptable. The Association blamed the country's enormous failure in Paris on administrative incompetence and ignorance, which became evident when the name of Favour Ofili, a highly regarded track and field athlete from Nigeria, was discovered to be missing from the list of competitors for the 100-meter event. After the Games, SWAN questioned why there were so many claims of medal hauls that administered by the sports authorities despite their full knowledge that nothing, not even the amount of preparation necessary to ensure a podium finish, was in place. Nigerians were led to believe that ev...
