FG suspends removal of fuel subsidy

24 January, 2022

The FG suspended the planned subsidy removal three days before the commencement of the NLC planned protests.

The FG through the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, announced the development at the National Assembly in Abuja on Monday, January 24, 2022.

According to Minister, it has become clear that the timing for the removal of fuel subsidy will be problematic as the country still experiences high inflation.

She admitted that removing fuel subsidy at this period would ultimately worsen the condition of Nigerians, especially those struggling to make ends meet.

The ad-hoc committee of the National Economic Council (NEC) had recently recommended that the planned subsidy removal should take effect from next month.

With the NEC’s recommendations, price of petrol is expected to increase from N165 per litre to N302.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) had threatened to embark on nationwide protest rallies from January 27, 2022, if the Federal Government increases the price of petrol.

The union said the protests would kick off immediately and without notice across the country in case the government goes ahead to increase price of fuel.

Court convicts skit maker ‘D General’ of drug trafficking

24 January, 2022

A Federal High Court in Lagos on Monday convicted skit maker, Joshua Sunday otherwise known as ‘D General’ of drug trafficking.

The defendant, also a social media influencer, was dragged to court by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), alongside Caleb William, a cinematographer.⁣

Delivering judgment, Justice Osiagor held that the volume of substance was minimal and would rather convict the defendants and caution them, rather than sentence them.⁣

The court, consequently, convicted the defendants and cautioned them to “go and sin no more”.⁣

Both defendants, 22, were charged with three counts of trafficking Tramadol and Cannabis Sativa.⁣

They both pleaded guilty to the charge.⁣

After their pleas, the prosecutor, Mr Jeremiah Aernan, reviewed the facts of the case and tendered evidences before the court, through an NDLEA exhibit keeper, Mr Lucky Oghaifu.⁣

Among the evidences tendered include: statements of the defendants, dr*g analysis form, certificate of test analysis, request for scientific aid form, packaging of substance form among others.⁣

He urged the court to be guided by the provisions of Section 356(2) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act and convict the defendants based on their pleas as well as evidences adduced by the prosecution.⁣

According to the charge, the defendants were said to have committed the offence on Jan. 12.⁣

The prosecutor, said that they were arrested around the Lekki area of Lagos for unlawfully dealing in 15g of Cannabis and 14 g of tramadol.⁣

He said that the offence contravenes the provision of Section 11(c) of the NDLEA Act, Cap N30, Laws of the Federation, 2004.⁣

In response, the Defence Counsel, Chief Lilian Omotunde, urged the court to consider other options besides sentencing the defendants, on the grounds that the defendants were still at their prime and could still be useful to society.⁣

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that earlier, during interrogations by the court, the defendants told the court that they had never tasted dr*gs.⁣

They told the court that the substances were used as props for their comedy skit, which they were in the process of shooting, before their arrest.⁣
