Dokpesi was never arrested, he went there on his own volition- Lawyer says


Yesterday Sahara Reporters released a statement that the DAAR Communications chairman, Raymond Dokpesi was arrested in connection with the fake $2.1 billion arms deal but his Lawyer, Mike Ozekhome in an interview with Leadership newspaper, said Dokpesi was never arrested, rather he was invited by the EFCC and he honored the invitation...
 “Chief Dokpesi was not arrested but invited by the EFCC. He went there on his own volition, voluntarily upon a mere phone call, asking him to see the acting chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu. The EFCC was trying to find out if there was any contract awarded to one of the firms under Daar Holdings from the office of the NSA. The firm later replied that there was no such contract in its record. The commission later demanded for the list of directors and same was made available to the agency. One of our lawyers accompanied Dokpesi to the EFCC and I believe that he will be released once he is through with the questioning.”he said

We are ready to meet you in Court- Sahara Reporters to Saraki


 


In his response to Sahara Reporters, the Nigerian Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki dissociated himself from the $2.1bn arms deal scandal, stating that it was a false allegation and that he would be pressing charges. Reacting to Senator Saraki's statement, the Founder of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore said they are ready to meet him in court
"As Nigeria’s number three man, there is no need for him to do legal tourism by going to courts outside the country. He should believe in the system and go to any court in Nigeria. We are ready to meet him in any court in Nigeria.
If he goes to court to challenge us outside of Nigeria, he would be using the money he has taken (stolen over these years) from the Nigerian people to pay expensive (pricey) lawyers outside the shores of Nigeria whereas all the evidence (s) of his corruption are based here in Nigeria." he told Premium Times

Renewable energy and batteries go hand and hand. Renewable energy sources need batteries to store the energy generated so that it can be used continuously instead of just only when the sun is shining or wind is blowing. On the flip side, batteries in our devices have to be recharged and renewable energy is the best way to accomplish that.

Pope Francis grants Catholic priests the right to forgive women who have had abortions



Pope Francis has called on catholic priests to pardon women who have abortions and the doctors who perform them, during the upcoming Jubilee year. The Pope's statement overrules the Catholic Church's doctrine which frowns strongly against abortion.

In a message outlining special measures for the Jubilee year starting in December, Pope Francis said
"I have decided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to concede to all priests for the Jubilee Year the discretion to absolve of the sin of abortion those who have procured it and who, with contrite heart, seek forgiveness for it.
The tragedy of abortion is experienced by some with a superficial awareness... many others... believe that they have no other option" he said.
Pope Francis said he was "well aware of the pressure" that some women were under to abort, adding that he had "met so many women who bear in their heart the scar of this agonizing and painful decision".

Abortion is considered a particularly serious sin and is punishable under Canon law by excommunication, by which those guilty are expelled from the Church and considered to be condemned to Hell in the afterlife.
