According to a report by Punchng, the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has promised to buy new cars for the just released Commissioner for Finance, Toyin Ojo and the Accountant General, Mrs. Yemisi Owolabi, in appreciation of their loyalty to the state.
The officials were released on Wednesday after spending 14 days in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
They were quizzed over alleged mismanagement of state funds.
Fayose, who made the promise at a reception organised for the duo at the Fajuyi Park in Ado-Ekiti, described the EFCC as a ‘senseless’ organisation.
He said, “They (the EFCC) have made you stronger because I have passed through that ordeal before. They wanted information to incriminate me but they can’t get because I’m transparent in financial handlings. As soon as I can I will buy the two of you new cars.”
The governor added, “The EFCC is a senseless body, because if it is not senseless, it should have known that the man who wrote the petition had been sacked because he didn’t deserve to be called a civil servant. The arrest was orchestrated by Ekiti indigenes in collaboration with the EFCC.
“I will never go and beg the EFCC, it will rather beg me. I won’t negotiate anything because I am not afraid of them. There was a subsisting court order that barred them from arresting any official of this state, but they breached the law.
“By the grace of God, I will restructure the EFCC when I become the president of this nation. I will reorganise the EFCC and make it look responsible. They detained me in 2008, but I won them in court, because the Most High God was on my side.
“They said the NNPC Group Managing Director awarded $25bn contracts illegally, the EFCC did nothing. Even the Presidency has been the one defending him now. What is their interest in Ekiti? Whose interest is the EFCC protecting?
“This was the way the Department of State Services arrested Afolabi Akanni. They even stopped the state allocation at a time, but whatever they do, Ekiti shall put them to shame,” the governor said.
The governor accused President Muhammadu Buhari of punishing the citizens of the state illegally by not constructing any road in the state since he came into office.
Narrating their ordeal in the EFCC custody, Ojo stated that the anti-graft agency begged to release them after it found nothing incriminating against them.
“I want to thank our governor and the Ekiti people, particularly workers for their prayers. The EFCC found it difficult to prosecute us because they lacked evidence.
“Fayose by his conduct boxed the EFCC to a corner, because you needed not fear when you committed no crime. By our arrests, it was clear that the EFCC has become an instrument of oppression.
“Some states took more than the bailout taken by Ekiti but nothing was done. What is their interest in Ekiti?
“They asked us to sign so that we can leave the detention but we refused. They started begging us before we left,” he said.
The Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Kola Oluwawole, and the state Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Ade Adesanmi, alleged that the EFCC was still planning to arrest more officials, saying the state would resist such attempt with the last drop of their blood.
Oluwawole described the EFCC as a meddlesome interloper, saying Sections 126 and 127 of the 1999 Constitution empowered the assembly to perform oversight functions on state finances and not the EFCC.
Also, the state’s Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Kolapo Kolade, chastised the EFCC for the “unlawful” detention of the just released officials of the state.
According to him, the two officials were arrested to intimidate and harass Fayose.
He said, “Today, October 12, is exactly two weeks that they were unlawfully arrested, incarcerated and subjected to mental, emotional and physical torture by the agents of darkness called the EFCC for no just cause in an attempt to harass, oppress and intimidate our governor and our dear state.
“We have no thanks to them for releasing the government’s officials as we know it is not in their character to do so, except for the intervention of God and the judiciary.
“Those who plunged our state into debt are walking freely on the streets while the EFCC is looking the other way despite available and verifiable evidence against them.”

According to a report by Channels TV, President Donald Trump will unveil a new US Iran strategy on Friday and is expected to withdraw backing from the Iran nuclear accord, undermining a landmark victory of multilateral diplomacy.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump would unveil a broad plan to counter Iran at 12:45 pm (1645 GMT).
She did not elaborate, but Trump is expected to declare to Congress that retaining the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement is no longer in the US national interest.
This in itself does not mean the deal will collapse. US lawmakers will have 60 days to decide whether they want to “snap back” the sanctions Washington has suspended.
But it will mark a clear break with America’s allies, who have pleaded with Trump to respect the accord, and a fierce blow to the multilateral international order.
The agreement was signed between Iran and six world powers — Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the US — at talks coordinated by the European Union.
UN nuclear inspectors say Iran is meeting the technical requirements of its side of the bargain, dramatically curtailing its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
So, while US officials still insist that “America First” does not mean “America Alone,” on this issue they are starkly isolated. The other signatories all back the deal.
“This is the worst deal. We got nothing,” Trump thundered to Fox News on Wednesday. “We did it out of weakness when actually, we have great strength.”
Trump, whose address to this year’s UN General Assembly was a hymn to national sovereignty, has been railing against the Iran deal since before he was elected.
Allies pleading
In office, he has chafed at being required under US law to re-certify Iran’s compliance with the accord every 90 days, declaring that Tehran has broken it “in spirit.”
Now, as he prepares to roll out a broader US strategy to combat Iran’s expanding power in the Middle East, he feels the time has come to turn his back on the deal.
Right up until the last minute, America’s closest allies have urged Trump to think again.
After his nationalist UN speech, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini warned that the deal “doesn’t belong to one country… it belongs to the international community.”
US allies have not been convinced by the argument that the deal fell short because it left Iran free to develop ballistic missiles and sponsor proxy militias in its region.
“Mixing everything means risking everything,” a French diplomatic source told AFP. “The existential threat is the bomb. The nuclear deal is not meant to solve Lebanon’s problems.”
Europe fears not only that Iran will resume the quest for the bomb but that the US is relinquishing its leadership role in a stable, rules-based international system.
On Tuesday, British Prime Minister Theresa May called the White House to impress upon it her government’s “strong commitment to the deal alongside our European partners.”
In parallel, her foreign minister, Boris Johnson, told his US counterpart Secretary of State Rex Tillerson “that the nuclear deal was an historic achievement.”
“It was the culmination of 13 years of painstaking diplomacy and has increased security, both in the region and in the UK,” he argued.
But the US administration barely acknowledged the calls, and European diplomats in Washington privately complain that their message is not getting through.
‘We will see’
One Western diplomat said that once Trump “decertifies” the deal their efforts will move to Congress, where they will urge US lawmakers not to re-impose sanctions.
“Our embassy is working with the legislature,” German foreign ministry spokesman Rainer Breul said this week. “We are looking for dialogue, to explain our arguments.”
They will find some sympathetic ears in Congress but this won’t move Trump. His most senior foreign policy advisers have also urged him to back the deal, to no avail.
Last week, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis was asked whether he believes the Iran deal remains in the US national interest.
“Yes, senator, I do,” he replied.
“I believe at this point in time, absent indication to the contrary, it is something that the president should consider staying with.”
Since that testimony, Mattis and Tillerson have had lunch with Trump and discussed Iran, but Trump later spoke once more against the deal on Fox television.
“We will see what happens pretty soon,” Trump warned.
On Thursday, in another dramatic sign of Washington’s foreign policy direction, the US announced that it was withdrawing from the United Nations science and cultural organization UNESCO.
France’s UN ambassador expressed dismay, warning “we need an America that stays committed to world affairs.”

Justice Nnamdi Dimgba gave INEC the permission to go ahead with the process on Monday after dismissing Melaye’s suit for lacking merit.
Melaye had filed a suit seeking to stop INEC from recalling him from the Senate following a petition it received from the constituents of Kogi West Senatorial District, which Melaye represents.
Dimgba, in his judgment, premised his opinion on the grounds that Melaye was hasty to run to the court and that he should have explored and exhausted the internal mechanisms provided by the 1999 Constitution.
According to the judge, “Melaye’s complaints are hasty, premature and presumptuous.’’
He therefore ordered INEC to go ahead with its planned verification of signatures contained in the petition.
The judge, however, ordered INEC to furnish Melaye with a copy of the petition it received, a schedule of the signatories and a full list of persons in support of the recall petition.
The judge held that the constituents who wrote the petition to INEC seeking his recall were not under any duty to serve him with a copy of the petition or offer him an opportunity to defend himself.
“I do not believe that the petitioners have the duty to serve the plaintiff with a copy of the petition. The duty of the constituents is to write and submit their petition to the electoral body.
“There is no provision in Sections 68 and 69 of the Constitution that provides the scope for the writers of the petition to inform the plaintiff of plans to recall him or for him to come and clear himself of allegations levelled against him.
The trial judge held that the only option available for Melaye, was for him to go through the verification process to be conducted by INEC.
He further held that it was only when Melaye noticed any infraction, fake signatures or names of dead persons during the verification exercise that he could approach the court to seek redress.
On the 90 days time limit set for the recall process, the court said it was doubtful of the date beginning from June 23, 2017.
He said even if it existed; the 90 days paused on July 6, 2017 when the court made an interim order on the suit.
“Ordinarily, the 90 days begins today that this pronouncement has been made.”
Melaye had among other reliefs prayed the court to declare that the petition his constituents presented to INEC for his recall was illegal, unlawful, invalid, null and void and of no effect in law.
He had further prayed the court to declare the petition invalid and of no effect, on the grounds that it was signed by fictitious, dead and non existing persons in his senatorial district.
He also contested that the recall was invalid because he was not served a copy of the petition and that not serving him a copy of the petition violated his rights to fair hearing as well as natural justice.
A sister suit filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) seeking the nullification of the recall process was also dismissed.
Justice Nnamdi Dimgba gave INEC the permission to go ahead with the process on Monday after dismissing Melaye’s suit for lacking meri...
When a woman is pregnant, a lot of changes happen to her body. One of such changes is the appearance of stretch marks. For some women, it is only when they are pregnant these marks appear while for others they don’t have to be pregnant. Although stretch marks are very easy to get, they are not difficult to get rid of. The only thing women fear is the stigma, especially from men. Some men say that they dislike stretch marks. Whatever the case may be, we share five ways to prevent stretch marks during pregnancy.
1. Keep your body hydrated
Your body needs to be hydrated for maximum skin elasticity. Skin elasticity is the skin’s ability to stretch and then go back to normal. So, drinking between 8 and 12 cups of water daily can help skin elasticity and thus prevent these stretch marks. Generally, it is not good for pregnant women to be dehydrated.
2. Use moisturizers and creams
Creams and moisturizers can be used to keep the skin moist and damp. It is advisable to use creams that contain Vitamin E or Vitamin A. This types of cream cannot cause any damage to the skin and can also prevent these marks. You should use it preferably after having your bath. Important, avoid using harsh chemicals on your skin.
3. Don’t eat for two
Yes, you are carrying an extra life in your belly and the temptation or craving will be there to eat for two. You don’t need to eat for two no matter how hungry you are. You should eat enough that will satisfy you. The only thing you need to do is to eat a balanced diet. Eating for two or eating too much during pregnancy can cause stretch marks.
4. Exercise during pregnant
Not all pregnant women will be disposed to exercise during pregnant. But it is good you try to do it as exercising help retains skin elasticity by improving the circulation. There is no gainsaying that the exercises you perform should not be intense.
5. Gain weight gradually
This is perhaps the quickest way to get stretch marks. The faster you gain weight, the more you are vulnerable to stretch marks. You should follow your doctor’s recommendation for slowly gaining weight. Usually, women add weight when pregnant.

Trump’s security adviser Gorka, who is seen as an outspoken and combative defender of President Donald Trump’s national security agenda, left his position willingly.
According to CNN, the news, which came late on Friday, was widely expected in the West Wing, which has now seen high-profile departures on successive Fridays for several weeks.
Gorka was one of Trump’s most prominent cheerleaders, frequently hitting the airwaves to defend the President’s policies and public statements.
But his role outside of television hits was unclear.
He did not play a major policy-making role, according to administration officials, and was not a member of the National Security Council.
A White House official told CNN that the security expert submitted his resignation to retired Gen. John Kelly, the White House chief of staff, on Friday.
The official said it had become clear that Gorka would not be allowed to have a meaningful role going forward.
But a separate White House official disputed that he resigned.
“Sebastian did not resign, but I can confirm he is no longer with the White House,” the second White House official said, according to a statement given to reporters.
Kelly, who assumed the chief of staff role in late July, has been conducting a review of the West Wing that includes assessing individual staffers’ portfolios.
A person familiar with the situation said Kelly was coming up empty when it came to Gorka’s role, though he recognised his efforts to promote Trump’s message on television.
Gorka’s TV appearances when he often sparred with hosts and reporters were popular with Trump, however, complicating decisions about his future.
But most White House staffers came to see the departure last week of chief strategist Steve Bannon as a sign that Gorka’s days were numbered.
Gorka’s work for Trump dates back as far as 2015; Federal Election Commission filings showed that Gorka was paid $8,000 that October to be a policy consultant for the Trump campaign.
His position as a member of the White House’s Strategic Initiatives Group, was a focal point for task forces collaborating with people outside government.
The resignation adds to a long list of high-profile departures from the White House, including chief strategist Steve Bannon, chief of staff Reince Priebus and press secretary Sean Spicer.
A CNN K-File review of Gorka’s public comments throughout the presidential campaign shows that even after his work for Trump, the former Breitbart national security editor offered stinging critiques of his future boss’s rhetoric on key foreign policy issues from terrorism to Russia and China.
Gorka, a U.S. citizen who was born in Britain and has Hungarian parents, was known for his dire warnings of Islamic terrorism while at Breitbart.

Cashew nuts are, strictly speaking, not nuts at all. Cashew nuts are the seeds of Nigeria in one minute the fruit of the cashew tree, which is native to Brazil.
They are rich in Vitamins C, E, K, phosphorous, iron, magnesium and zinc and also contain antioxidants, phytochemicals and protein.
In a prepared list below, we present you five benefits of eating the kidney shaped nuts which can be eaten, on their own as a snack and are often used in cooking as well.
1) It prevents blood diseases: Limited quantities of cashew nuts, when eaten regularly, can help in preventing blood diseases. Cashew nuts are a rich source of copper that helps eliminate free radicals from the body.
2) Good for hair: Copper found in nuts is also good for hair, helping it remain bright and strong. In addition, copper also is an essential part for many enzymes that help provide colour to the hair.
3) Good for heart: Anything in excess is harmful and so are cashew nuts. But three to four cashew nuts consumed daily can lower cholesterol. Cashews help lower low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and increases high-density lipoproteins (HDL). HDL carries cholesterol from the heart to liver to be further broken down.
4) Great for skin: Interestingly, oil extracted from cashew nuts is amazingly beneficial for skin. The oil is rich in zinc, magnesium, iron, selenium and phosphorous. Nuts are also a great source of proteins and antioxidants thereby helping your skin remain healthy and wrinkle free. It also helps in prevention of skin cancer.
5) Fights cancer: Cashew nuts are known to have proanthocyanidin (flavonols). This helps fight tumour cells by restricting its growth and division.
6) Helpful for weight loss too: Despite being high in fat and protein, daily intake of nuts in limited quantity (two or three) can help maintain weight. It has high level of dietary fibre and high energy density that helps in weight management.
