The United States on Wednesday refuted allegations by the Nigerian Ambassador to the US, Prof. Adebowale Adefuye, that it had failed to help fight Boko Haram militants, saying there had been “a great deal†of US aid to Nigeria.
But it admitted that it had blocked the third party sale of Cobra helicopters to the Nigerian military, as exclusively reported by THISDAY last month.
THISDAY had initially reported that the US had blocked the sale of Chinook transport helicopters by the Israeli Government to the Nigerian Government, but THISDAY later corrected the story to reflect the blocked sale of Cobra attack helicopters.
In the past six months since the Islamic militants snatched more than 200 schoolgirls in Chibok, Washington has shared intelligence with the Nigerian army, begun training a new battalion and held high-level talks on the threat of Boko Haram, a US State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki was reported by AFP as stating.
She also said the US had provided and approved sales of military equipment to Nigerian armed forces. “These decisions are made, of course, after careful scrutiny to ensure they conform with United States law,†she said. But she acknowledged the US had refused to transfer some Cobra helicopters due to concerns about the Nigerian army’s ability to use them.
There were also “ongoing concerns about the Nigerian military’s protection of civilians when conducting military operations,†Psaki said, adding that these had been discussed with the Nigerian authorities.
The Nigerian military had tried to order for Cobras, a brand of attack helicopters manufactured by Bell Helicopters in Forth Worth, Texas, from Israel a few months ago. However, the deal was blocked by the US government, which refused to give the Israeli government a “No Objection†to proceed with the sale.
Before most US-manufactured military hardware can be sold to a third party by another country, it needs the permission of the US government to go ahead with the transaction so that US equipment does not get into the wrong hands such as terrorists, nations not perceived to be friendly with the US, or those perceived to have a poor human rights record.
In the case of Nigeria, the US had concerns with the Nigerian military’s human rights record, especially with respect to its prosecution of the war against Boko Haram in the North-east.
In a speech at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) in Washington on Monday, Ambassador Adefuye took on the US government when he launched into a tirade against the administration. “Nigerian leaders are not satisfied with the scope, nature and content of the United States’ support for us in our struggle against terrorists,†he had said.
He accused Washington of not providing the “lethal†weapons needed to deliver “a killer punch†to the militants. Adefuye told members of the CFR that allegations of human rights abuses by the military were “rumours, hearsay and exaggerated accounts†which had been spread by rivals of President Goodluck Jonathan and rights groups.
But Psaki stressed the US would not raise such concerns “if we didn’t feel and others didn’t feel that they were warranted.†Washington is ready to help Nigeria train and improve the effectiveness of its military, Psaki added, urging the government to investigate allegations of abuses.

Court documents presented by Amnesty International (AI) have exposed the fact that Shell repeatedly made false claims about the size and impact of two major oil spills at Bodo in the Niger Delta, allegedly in an attempt to minimise its compensation payments.
AI said in a report yesterday that evidence that Shell underestimated the Bodo spills emerged in a United Kingdom (UK) legal action brought by 15,000 people whose livelihoods were devastated by oil pollution in 2008.
The court action has forced Shell to finally admit the company had underplayed the true magnitude of at least two spills and the extent of damage caused.
According to AI, the documents also showed that Shell had known for years that its pipelines in the Niger Delta were old and faulty. “The potential repercussions are that hundreds of thousands of people may have been denied or underpaid compensation based on similar under estimates of other spills,†AI said in a statement made available to journalists.
“Amnesty International firmly believes Shell knew the Bodo data were wrong. If it did not, it was scandalously negligent – we repeatedly gave them evidence showing they had dramatically underestimated the spills,†said Audrey Gaughran, Director for Global Issues at AI. She said Shell refused to engage with the organisation but had been forced to come clean while defending the case filed in the UK against it.
AI said Shell’s joint investigation report for the first oil spill in the Bodo area of the Niger Delta claimed that only 1,640 barrels of oil were spilt in total.
“However, based on an independent assessment published by US firm Accufacts Inc., Amnesty International calculated the total amount of oil spilt exceeded 100,000 barrels. Shell denied this and repeatedly defended its far lower figure,†the statement said. In the court documents, Shell reportedly admitted its figure was wrong in both this case and a second spill, also in 2008, in the same area.
The admission, AI said, had thrown Shell’s assessment of hundreds of other Nigeria spills into doubt, as all spill investigations were conducted in the same manner.
“For years, Shell has dictated the assessment of volume spilled and damage caused in spill investigation reports, now these reports aren’t worth the paper they’re written on,†said Gaughran.
According to her, these spill investigation reports have cheated whole communities out of proper compensation. The reports, known as “Joint Investigation Visitâ€, decide whether a community got any compensation and the amount they received. They also determined the extent of the clean-up required. The people of Bodo have been able to take legal action in the UK, revealed AI.
However, the vast majority of the hundreds of thousands of people in the Niger Delta who suffer oil spills from Shell’s operations will never have this opportunity to challenge the oil giant.
“Pollution from Shell’s operations has wrecked people’s homes, farms and fishing waters – their ability to send their children to school and put food on the table,†said Gaughran.
Amnesty said that Shell’s admission made clear the Joint Investigation Visit (JIV) forms – which recorded the cause of the spills in addition to the volume and impact – could not be used as credible sources of information.
“Shell will no doubt continue to defend its abysmal record in Nigeria by more misdirection, blaming spills on oil thieves. But the basis for these claims are the Joint Investigation Visit forms – which Shell must now admit are entirely unreliable,†said Gaughran.
The court documents also showed for the first time that Shell knew for years that its oil pipelines were in very poor condition and likely to leak.
The court papers include an internal memo by Shell based on a 2002 study that states: “The remaining life of most of the [Shell] Oil Trunklines is more or less non-existent or short, while some sections contain major risk and hazardâ€.
In another internal document dated 10 December 2009, a Shell employee warns: “(The company) is corporately exposed as the pipelines in Ogoniland have not been maintained properly or integrity assessed for over 15 years”.
“It’s outrageous that Shell has continued to blame the vast majority of its spills on saboteurs while knowing full well how bad a state its pipelines were in,†said Gaughran.
Shell had consistently maintained that for the first Bodo spill, only 1,640 barrels of oil were spilt and for the second, only 2,503 (approx. 4,000 barrels for both). This is based on what was recorded in the Joint Investigation Visit reports. But AI repeatedly challenged Shell’s figures and supplied the company with photographic, satellite and video evidence showing that the data on the JIV reports for Bodo were incorrect.
Shell, however, continued to defend its figures. For example in a letter to the UK Financial Times in March 2012, the Managing Director of Shell Nigeria “admitted liability for two spills of about 4,000 barrels in total, caused by operational failuresâ€.
Responding specifically to evidence published by AI in 2012, which showed the first Bodo spill was underestimated, Shell told the UK Guardian newspaper: “[The JIV] process … was employed with the two spills in question, and we stand by the findings [of 1,640 barrels].” AI has been very active in investigating human rights violations in the Niger Delta.
It had in a report found that hundreds of oil spills occur in Nigeria every year, causing significant harm to the environment, destroying local livelihoods and placing human health at serious risk.
These spills are caused by corrosion, poor maintenance of oil infrastructure, equipment failure, sabotage and theft of oil. For the last decade oil companies in Nigeria – in particular Shell – have defended the scale of pollution by claiming that the vast majority of oil spills are caused by sabotage and theft of oil.
Amnesty said there was no legitimate basis for this claim. It said: “It (Shell) relies on the outcome of an oil spill investigation process – commonly known as the Joint Investigation Visit or JIV process – in which the companies themselves are the primary investigators.â€
The AI’s report also exposed several serious deficiencies and abuses within the JIV process that rendered it wholly unreliable as a basis for making claims about the cause of oil spills, the volume of oil spilt or the area impacted.
It presented evidence not only of serious and systemic flaws in the oil spill investigation process, but also specific examples of instances where the cause of an oil spill appears to have been wrongly attributed to sabotage.
The evidence included a secretly filmed video of an oil spill investigation. In addition, the report exposed serious problems with how the volume of oil spilt was assessed and recorded and concluded that it was likely that the volume of oil recorded as spilt in many cases was incorrect.

The Inspector-General of Police (IG), Suleiman Abba, has directed Commissioners of Police across the nation to ensure adequate screening and supervision of vigilante groups to ensure that they work in conformity with laid down regulations in order to avoid all forms of abuses.
The IG also has issued a stern warning against the use of thugs to further political interest. He warned that thugs and their sponsors will be arrested and prosecuted.
The statement added that these directives had become imperative, considering the need to ensure a violent-free general election in 2015.
To this end, the IG has also instructed that an Officer be appointed in all Commands to oversee the activities of these groups and render regular reports of their activities.

Kano (Nigeria) (AFP) – Scores of Boko Haram fighters on Thursday invaded two towns in northeast Nigeria’s Adamawa state after hunters and civilian vigilantes reportedly ousted them from a key town, residents told AFP.
The Islamists raided Hong and Gombi, some 100 kilometres (62.5 miles) from the state capital, Yola, after they were pushed out of the commercial hub of Mubi, which they seized two weeks ago.
Boko Haram is thought to have captured more than two dozen towns in Yobe, Borno and Adamawa states in recent months, as part of its quest to establish a hardline caliphate in the region.
But despite apparently losing control of Mubi, which the Islamists renamed Madinatul Islam or “City of Islam” in Arabic the invasion of Hong and Gombi saw them move closer to Yola.
Thousands of residents have been taking refuge in the city from the violence.
The vigilantes had reportedly reclaimed the town of Maiha on Wednesday after a fierce battle in which scores of the ins?urgents were said to have been killed, although there was no official confirmation.
In Gombi, resident Haruna Awwalu said Boko Haram were patrolling the streets, firing heavy weaponry, while another local, Rabi Tanimu, said people were cowering indoors and many had fled into the bush.
“They have burnt down the police station, the local government secretariat and the market? after overpowering the police, ” Awwalu said.
In Hong, 20 kilometres away, the police station was also razed and the militants raised their black flag outside the home of a retired military general.
Chibado Bobi, chief of staff in Adamawa state governor’s office in Mubi confirmed that civilian vigilantes and hunters had recaptured the town.
“It is true Mubi has fallen back into the hands of Nigerian soldiers with the help of local vigilantes and hunters,” he said.
“It is however too early for residents who fled to move back to Mubi because the security and vigilantes need to mop up all remnants of the group that may be lurking in nearby areas.”
One resident, who asked not to be named, said about 200 vigilantes and hunters armed with den (home-made) guns, spears, clubs, bows and arrows, and machetes were involved in the recapture.
“I saw the Boko Haram fighters fleeing in droves in their vehicles when the hunters and vigilantes entered the town”, he added.
“Their emir? (leader) was captured by the hunters and made to sit outside the military barracks that he and his men turned into their base.
“He had his hands tied from the back and we swarmed to have a look but we were later dispersed by the hunters.”

Following the recent trend of female suicide bombers in the northern part of the country, an attempted attack on the Maryam Babangida Girls’ Science College, Minna, Niger State ,by two unidentified men dressed like women was foiled on Thursday by a member of staff of the school.
According to a teacher in the school who spoke with THISDAY, a female teacher was walking through a footpath leading to the school in the early hours of the day when she perceived the smell of Indian hemp and stopped to look around.
She was said to have sighted two men who had already changed into the school uniform and were about to wear their hijab, who ordered her to turn back, if she wanted to remain alive.
The teacher actually ran back and went to the main gate to alert the school where students had already gathered at the assembly ground. When the students got wind of the information, confusion broke out, as students scattered in various direction out of panic. Speaking with journalists in her office, the Principal of the school, Hajiya Fatima Madugu, said the information given by one of the teachers at 7:30a.m saved the school from being attacked.
She explained that when the information came in that two men disguised as students and getting prepared to join the assembly, it created a lot of panic among the students and teachers, but quickly, the military, the police and the State Security Service (SSS) were alerted and on arrival, their presence assisted in calming down the situation.
“When the security agencies came, they questioned the teacher, especially with the security challenges confronting the nation, people got scared that some people had disguised themselves and are planning to join the School assembly. You can imagine the fear that will create in the minds of these children,†she said.
Also speaking, the female staff, Mrs. Bezat Doma, stated that she followed the foothpath (short cut) to enable her get to school early and meet up with her 8a.m lesson, only to be accosted by two unknown men who asked her to return home if she wanted to be safe.
“I was really scared when I saw them almost dressed in the school uniform. They had already worn the trouser, shirt and about to put on the hijab, when I sighted them and it was because of the stench of Indian hemp that made me looked around. And one just walked to me and said, ‘go home, there is no school today. Go if you love your life’, and I just took off my shoes and ran back. But, instead of going home, I went to inform our principal on the assembly ground.â€
But the state Police Public Relation Officer, Ibrahim Abiodun Gambari, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, said the men in question were lunatics, whose presence that early morning created fears in the school.
According to him, they were able to gain entrance into the school due to the porous nature of security in schools, but assured that adequate security would be given to schools by the police as well as security tips to help them in case of any eventuality.
When the state Commissioner for Education, Danladi Abdulhamid, visited the school, he announced that public schools in the state are to suspend forthwith every form of open congregational activities.
The order came less than 24 hours after a female suicide bomber detonated a bomb that exploded at the Federal College of Education (FCE) Kontagora, Niger State, killing her self and another female student of the school.

The combined net worth of Africa’s 55 billionaires increased by 12.4 per cent from $143.88 billion in 2013 to $161.75 billion in 2014, a report has shown.
It also showed that Africa maintained its number of billionaires this year. Ventures Africa revealed this in its second annual Rich List titled, The Richest People in Africa 2014, obtained by THISDAY on Thursday. The ranking was based on analysed financial reports and extensive due diligence in tracking the fortunes of the billionaires. In addition, the stakes of billionaires that hold shares in publicly traded companies were calculated using the market capitalisation of the listed companies.
Also, private companies were compared to similar publicly traded companies to determine a reasonable enterprise value. In areas where no suitable publicly listed peer was available, the enterprise value of companies were calculated using global industry standards such as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) or revenue multiples.
From the computation, the billionaires employ close to half a million people in Africa. For instance, it showed that while in Egypt, its billionaires employ about 140,000 people, in Nigeria, they have created a total of 120,000 jobs. In South Africa, its billionaires have also created 60,000 jobs.
Similarly, while the billionaires in Morocco and Kenya have created about 40,000 jobs respectively, they are also responsible for the creation of about 20,000 jobs in Tanzania, Uganda and Algeria.
Also, the jobs created by the African billionaires per industry showed that on the continent, they have created about 120,000 jobs in the construction industry, 90,000 in the oil and gas sector, about 60,000 in the financial services and consumables sectors apiece, and 40,000 jobs in the food and beverages sector in the continent.
Other sectors that have benefited in terms of job creation by the continent’s billionaires included the telecoms and real estate sectors with 40,000 jobs respectively, while automobile, healthcare and technology provided 30,000 jobs.
A breakdown of the wealth by age of the 55 African billionaires showed that while 10.5 per cent of them were around 40 years, 51.6 per cent are in their 50s, 59.6 per cent of them in their 60s, 19.5 per cent of them in their 70s and 21.2 per cent of them around 80 years. Nigerians collectively owned $77.7 billion or 48 per cent of the Rich List’s total wealth – almost as much as all the other countries combined. On the other hand, South Africans collectively accounted for $32 billion or 20 per cent of the Rich List’s total wealth. Almost 40 per cent of Nigeria’s billionaires’ wealth was attributed to the country’s oil and gas industry, while about 41 per cent of South Africa’s billionaires’ wealth was tied to the financial services industry.
The wealth by industry of the billionaires in Nigeria showed that while 39 per cent of their wealth comes from the oil and gas sector, 34 per cent from the construction sector, nine per cent from telecoms, eight per cent from real estate, five per cent from food and beverages, three per cent from financial services and two per cent from automotive.
“Five people joined the ranking this year, while an equal number dropped out. Some had their wealth fall below our $1 billion cut off, while others had financial challenges that necessitated their removal from the list,†it added.

The police on Thursday reviewed the casualty figure released after the suicide bombing which took place at the Federal College of Education, Kontangora, on Wednesday, stating that apart from the female suicide bomber who died in the process, another student who was badly wounded later succumbed to death, bringing the number of deaths to two.
The Police authorities also said they will no longer accept excuses from its men concerning unlawful killing of citizens in the name of ‘accidental discharge’.
Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), Emmanuel Ojukwu, who made the declaration at the Forum of Spokespersons of Security and Response Agencies (FOSSRA)/I-Nigerian Initiative media briefing in Abuja also lamented the unprecedented number of casualties the force has suffered due to the ongoing terrorist activities in parts of the country.
Ojukwu said, “There is nothing like accidental discharge because every gun has a safety lever. You must have cocked the gun before it fired and you only cock a gun when you have the intention of firing. If you kill illegally, the police will deal with you.â€
He noted with regret that most of the time when casualty figures are reported in the media in the war against terrorism in Nigeria, no mention is made of policemen whereas “police have more widows and orphans than any other agency in the countryâ€. He appealed that adequate and prompt compensations be given to dependants of these fallen heroes.
Speaking on how the police was able to minimise incidents of cattle rustling in the North-west of the country, Ojukwu said it deployed the 13 helicopters it possessed to engage the thieves in aerial surveillance, while other officers combed the forests on foot to combat the militant marauders in the affected communities in Zamfara, Katsina and Kaduna States among others.
He however said the operation would be a continuous one so that those who have gone into hiding will not have the opportunity to return.
The image maker dismissed complaints that despite the creation of other agencies like Nigerian Customs, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence, Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Road Safety Commission and others, policemen still perform those functions.
According to him, Nigeria Police is the oldest law enforcement agency in the country and is vested with enormous powers, but despite the creation of other agencies later, there has been no law removing such functions from the police.
He explained that the police is currently being repositioned for better performance and that it was in that regards that the Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba, ordered the auditing of the police armoury and constituted another committee to review the technical infrastructure including information technology.
On the contentious issue of the removal of police orderlies from the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, Ojukwu declined to speak much but contended that there was already a decided Supreme Court case on the matter and that it becomes a matter of compulsion for the occupier of the office to vacate the seat once he or she leaves the party upon which he contested and won the election in the first place.

A former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and Kaduna State governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, has mocked Goodluck Jonathan administration’s handling of insurgency in the northern part of the country.
The social media critic posted a cartoon titled ‘Litany of confusion’ on his twitter handle, @elrufai, lambasting the series of confusion in the handling of the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents that has killed more than 10,000 Nigerians, taken over towns in some states in Northern Nigeria and kidnapped school’s children.
He made reference to the purported ceasefire agreement which was denied by the leaders of Boko Haram, the abduction of policemen in Gwoza, the $1 billion loan to fight Boko Haram and the death of Shekau among others.

The crisis in Ebonyi State House of Assembly took a new dimension on Thursday, as the embattled Speaker, Chukwuma Nwazunku, formally petitioned President Goodluck Jonathan to withhold approval of the present N15 billion bond applied for by the state government pending when the assembly would be properly briefed on the use and performance of the earlier N16.5 billion bond.
In a letter dated November 10, addressed to the president, which was released to THISDAY in Abakaliki, Nwazunku noted that the assembly was yet to be properly briefed on the use and performance of the previous bond obtained by the state government.
The speaker urged the president to withhold the approval of the second bond which the state government applied for pending when their relevant committee is properly briefed on the use of the first bond when the assembly reconvenes from its recess on December 15.
He recalled that the state government had in the year 2010 obtained a bond of N16.5 billion from the capital market for the purpose of financing certain capital projects in the state which was also captured in the new bond.
According to him, “Since our approval of the first bond, certain revelations have come to light to warrant keeping the second bond application in view, pending a proper detailed briefing of the assembly on the use of the first bond.
“It does not appear as if the first bond has been properly used in view of the fact that the target projects the bond was meant for was scarcely attended to, to the extent that even in the next one year, the projects will never be completed.
“In view of the fact that the target projects for the first bond obtained will still take over one year to complete, and in view also that the tenure of the present administration will be rounding off in the next six months.â€
He added: “We respectfully invite your Excellency to graciously withhold your kind approval of the second bond which the Ebonyi State government applied for, pending when the relevant committee is properly briefed on the use of the first bond when the House reconvenes from its recess on December 15.â€

President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday met with members of National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), led by the Director General, Prof. Tijjani Muhammed, where the way forward on labour matters was discussed.
The report on the 36th course of NIPPS was equally submitted to Jonathan.
Briefing State House correspondents on what transpired at the meeting with Jonathan, Muhammed said the way forward to get labour matters properly understood in order to enhance industrial harmony, better productivity of Nigerian workers in the public and private sectors formed the fulcrum of the meeting.
“The issue is that all parties have been asked to do three things mainly. One, to comply with the law of the land relating to agreements, disputes which must be settled within the framework of processes understood by law. Parties must try as much as possible to work within the agreements.
“Secondly, patriotism is required because disruptions in work places and in schools have impacted negatively on our national development, and that there is need to review some laws to make the processes easier and compliance also clearer.
“Lastly modernisation is very important as well as ICT in terms of productivity. Also, skills must be upgraded whether in the public or private sector. What should underline this discourse is for all parties to put the interest of the Nigerian public at the centre of all disputes because whether labour or government, we are dealing with Nigerian people. So it was a very useful engagement,†the NIPSS DG said.
According to him, their report was given based on a 10-man study which involved labour leaders, scholars, ministers of different ministries and agencies.
He added that the report was not the view of anyone, but of what is good for Nigerians, government and the workers.
Asked if past reports had been implemented, Muhammed told journalists that: “It is important to note that many recommendations given by the Institute at fora like this have been implemented or are being implemented.
“Even the president has agreed that we need to do more to implement the recommendations. The real issue should be that some of the issues requiring implementation must be preceded by the reforms of the laws, which also will require certain processes to be taken for things to happen.
“Also note that as important as the National Institute is, it is just one institution that advises the government, an advice is not a dictation. We take cognisance of the fact that there are other bodies that can legitimately advise the government, and the advice is as important as that of the National Institute. Our advice has been valued because it is non-political and patriotic in nature,†he added.
