‘You have no power to summon me’- former EFCC boss, Lamorde tells Senate

Posted: 17 Nov 2015 12:57 PM PST

The immediate past chairman of EFCC, Ibrahim Lamorde has told the senate committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions that they do not have the powers to invite him for an investigation as he is no longer the chairman of the anti-graft agency. The senate committee is currently investigating allegations that Lamorde diverted N1 billion of recovered stolen funds during his tenure.

Speaking through his Lawyer, Festus Keyamo who represented him at the senate hearing today, Lamorde argued that it is only a law court that can invite him for any investigation.

He said he will only honor the invitation of the senate only if he is invited as a witness and not an accused. The Chairman of the committee, Emmanuel Nwanyawu, told Keyamo that the committee is not a court of law and, therefore, a lawyer cannot appear before it on behalf of his client. He said another letter of summons would be issued to Mr. Lamorde informing him he must appear before the committee on November 24th.

I cried at the thought of ever complaining about anything in life-Karrueche Tran during her visit to IDP camp in Abuja

Posted: 17 Nov 2015 12:53 PM PST

Karrueche Tran who is currently in Nigeria had the opportunity to visit an IDP camp and the Hope for Survival Orphanage in Abuja where she played peekaboo with some of the kids and said it was a humbling experience for her because she now appreciates every little thing she has. She said:

Yesterday I had the opportunity to visit an IDP camp in Abuja where many of the #bringbackourgirls came to. I remember seeing the #bringbackourgirls movement on social media but seeing it in person was a much different experience. I was able to listen to this mothers story of her journey from Northern Nigeria. It was very heartbreaking to hear and to see their living conditions. She said when it rains they have no choice but to stand and there is little to no work for her husband. I told her I admire her for her strength and I will pray for her and her family everyday. This was a very humbling experience for me-I cried at the thought of ever complaining about anything in life. It is unfortunate but I know God will protect them. We can not save the world but we can take small steps to help
She also said:
'I also was able to visit Hope for Survival Orphanage - this is 9 month old Comfort who went straight in my arms - she was so cute and lovable ❤️'

A female passenger on a British Airways flight from Heathrow to Boston, Massachusetts, was restrained this evening after attempting to force open an exit door mid-journey, police have said.
Flight 213, which had departed from London at 11.57am GMT, was tens of thousands of feet in the air when the unidentified woman started forcefully trying to open the plane door, officials said.

Despite the incident, the plane landed safely at Logan International Airport at around 6.30pm, where it was met by Massachusetts State Police troopers, who took the passenger into custody.

Police said the woman was 'intoxicated' - and has no known links to terrorism at this time.

Although it was initially reported that the woman had attempted to storm the cockpit mid-flight, a BA spokesman confirmed to ABC New York that the passenger had tried to open an exit door.

First plane carrying Syrian refugees arrive in the UK

Posted: 17 Nov 2015 12:47 PM PST

The first plane load of Syrian refugees has arrived in the UK as the authorities say they have done their best to ensure they do not pose a terrorist threat. The flight, believed to be carrying about 100 people from camps surrounding the war-torn Middle East state, landed at around 3.40pm today.

Several more special flights will arrive at airports around Britain in the coming months as part of a programme to take 20,000 refugees over five years.
UK Prime Minister, David Cameron established the plan following the outcry over the death of little Aylan Kurdi (his mother and brother were later found dead) who was washed up on a Greek beach in September.
The arrivals come after it emerged that at least one of the attackers in the Paris atrocity is believed to have entered Europe through Greece posing as a refugee from Syria.

At the weekend, the UK Home Secretary Theresa May said those who arrive in the UK from the region will have been thoroughly screened to ensure they do not pose a terrorist threat.
She said multiple checks are in place for those earmarked for relocation in Britain.
"There are two levels of screening that take place," she told BBC1's Andrew Marr Show.
"First of all, we are taking people directly from the camps. We are working with UNHCR - UNHCR take biometrics, they look at documents, they interview people, they do their own process of screening against issues like war crimes and serious criminality.
"Then there is a further check that is done once people are referred to the UK. The Home Office then undertakes further checks, further biometrics are taken."
The revelation that one of the Paris attackers was a Syrian refugee prompted Home Office chiefs to carry out an urgent review of whether Britain's entry procedures were tough enough.

Paul Morrison, director of the UK Syrian resettlement programme, said British methods were more thorough than in France because refugees are plucked directly from camps in Syria.

Refugees are verified by both the UN Refugee Agency and the British government before their application to come to Britain can be approved.
A "steady stream" of refugees have already come to the UK since the scheme was announced in September but the start of special charter flights is described as a "step change".

New arrivals will be given a five-year visa allowing them to remain in the country, after which they will be able to apply for leave to remain.

Downing Street refused to specify how many refugees were arriving today but said they had undergone "rigorous" security checks before boarding the plane.

A spokesman said it would be "reasonable to assume" the refugees would go to areas within a "reasonable radius" of Glasgow.
