APC reports Patience Jonathan to ICC
******The presidential campaign organisation of the All
Progressives Congress has reported the wife of President Goodluck Jonathan,
Patience, to the International Criminal Court. Two weeks ago, Patience had,
while campaigning for her husband in Calabar, Cross River State, told the
supporters of the PDP to stone anyone canvassing for change in the state.
The campaign organisation said the letter of complaint was
signed by its Director-General, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, who is the Governor of
River State. It said that the letter would be delivered to ICC on Monday
(today), adding that the Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba, and the
National Human Rights Commission would also be sent copies of the letter.
“Change, as the entire country knows by now, is the slogan of the APC – the
rallying cry of a political party that wishes to bring hope of greater and
better things to come for Nigeria and Nigerians****
****** The National Industrial Court sitting in Abuja has
awarded the sum of about N42.8m in favour of a former employee of Zenith Bank
Plc, Mr. Abdulazeez Ibrahim. Ibrahim, a former Deputy Manager with Zenith Bank
Plc, had sued the bank, challenging the decision of its management terminating
his appointment over a purported N7bn fraud said to have been perpetrated by a
syndicate within the bank. The presiding judge, Justice O. Shogbola, in his
judgment, awarded N42m in favour of the plaintiff, to cover for salaries,
allowances and interests accruable to the plaintiff for the period of his
suspension and subsequent sacking by the bank. The judge held that the report
of the police investigation into the alleged N7bn fraud exonerated the
claimant. Shogbola advised the bank not to rubbish its workers on mere
suspicion, stressing that the bank must not be misled into believing that it
had the power of life and death over its workers****

*Mourinho is not special – Luiz
***** David Luiz has stoked up the tension surrounding Paris
Saint-Germain’s UEFA Champions League last 16 second-leg clash with Chelsea by
claiming Jose Mourinho “is not special”. PSG travel to Stamford Bridge with the
tie level at 1-1 following the first leg at the Parc des Princes, however,
Chelsea hold a slight advantage courtesy of their away goal in the French
capital. Luiz left Chelsea for PSG in a £50m move last June after his only
season under the stewardship of Mourinho, who has long been referred to as “the
special one”. But Luiz told L’Equipe , “He is special for you, not for me.*****
