On Tuesday, 11th of August, 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari stated that, “in a matter of weeks”, the Federal Government will begin the trial of persons alleged to have stolen from the national coffers.
The President spoke while addressing members of the National Peace Committee, led by a former military Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
According to a statement by Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the president was quoted as telling Abubakar and members of his committee that his administration that…
“Those who have stolen the national wealth will be in court in a matter of weeks and Nigerians will know those who have short-changed them,” Nigeria has to break this vicious cycle before we can make progress,” “We have really degenerated as a country. Our national institutions, including the military, which did wonderfully on foreign missions in the past, have been compromised. But we are doing something about it. The military is now retraining and morale has been resuscitated.
“As petroleum minister under Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo in the 1970s, I could not travel abroad until I had taken a memo to the Federal Executive Council, asking for estacode. Now, everybody does what he wants.
“That is why security-wise and economically, we’re in trouble.”
But the committee, which Buhari has transformed into the National Peace Council, also told the President to remember that Nigeria was no longer under military rule and that he should follow due process in the trial of suspected looters.
Abubakar and members of his committee urged the Federal Government to be guided by the rule of law in its fight against corruption.
A member of the committee, who is also the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Bishop Matthew Kukah, spoke with State House correspondents at the end of the closed-door meeting with the President.
“It (the way corruption war is being fought) is not heating up the polity.“In our conversation with (ex) President Goodluck Jonathan and members of the parties, I don’t think any Nigerian is in favour of corruption or is against the President’s commitment to ensuring that we turn a new leaf.“I think what we are concerned about is the process. It is no longer a military regime and under our existing laws, everybody is innocent until proven guilty.
“Again, our own commitment is not to intimidate or fight anybody. The former President’s commitment and what he did still remains spectacular and I think that President Buhari himself appreciates that.“So, our effort really is to make sure that the right thing is done.”
Jonathan had reportedly complained to the committee over alleged victimization of his aides by the incumbent administration in its anti-corruption crusade.
Kukah confirmed that members of the committee had met with Jonathan after meeting with some political parties.
He claimed the meeting with Buhari was not at Jonathan’s instance, saying the parley was a continuation of a series of intervention aimed at getting feedback from the conduct of the last elections.
He said,
“Anybody is free to come to our committee but President Jonathan never by telephone or other means talked to the committee.“We went to see him, but that is after we had already seen members of the political parties and members of the civil society.“We planned to see the Speaker (of the House of Representatives) because we couldn’t see him yesterday.“This is a much-planned series of intervention, essentially just to hear out everybody and I think the good news is that Nigerians are committed to a new nation, they are committed to ensuring that the gains and blessings God has given us come to fruition.”
Kukah said the meeting with the President was neither an intervention nor a hearing session.
Outrage has erupted in India after the arrest of dozens of couples at a number of hotels in Mumbai last week because they were allegedly unmarried.

In spite of the fact that were lodged in private hotel rooms, the couples were charged with ‘indecent behaviour in public‘ and made to pay a fine of 1,200 rupees (£12).
A witness told Mid-Day.com:
The police first insulted all of us in front of all the officers and the other couples and then forced us to call our parents and insulted and disgraced us in front of them,”.They also made the parents feel guilty as if their children had committed some heinous crime.’
He also stated that they were taken to the police station around 05:00pm and many of them were allowed to go only by 10:00pm.
A number of angry Mumbai citizens took to Twitter to express their feelings, using the hashtag #MumbaiPolice.
According to Chilean daily La Nacion, Campbell is not prepared to leave Arsenal on another loan spell; rather, he wants a move away on a permanent basis.

According to French newspaper, Chelsea have been strongly linked with PSG for defender Gregory van der Wiel. It’s claimed that Chelsea are one of a number of clubs, including Manchester United, who have wanted to sign the player.
The Dutch international has more than 40 caps for his country, and Le Parisien claims that Chelsea wanted him to slot straight into their first team.

The newspaper says Chelsea have made an approach to try and sign the defender but the Ligue 1 champion don’t want to sell.
