Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), the Chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee on Corruption, PACAC, has criticised President Muhammadu Buhari’s panel probing the suspended Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu. 

The erudite professor of law faulted the constitution of the panel exempting the Chairman of the panel Isa Ayo Salami as the only person on the panel without any vested interest in the Buhari's team. 

The other members of the panel are DIG Anthony Ogbizi Michael (NPF)- South-South, Deputy Chairman; Muhammad Abubakar Babadoko, Federal Ministry of Justice (North Central); Hassan Yahaya Abdullahi (DSS) (North Central); Muhammad Shamsuddeen (OAGF) (North West); Douglas Egweme (NFIU) South-East, while Kazeem Attitebi (South-West) will serve as the Secretary.


“I criticise the Salami panel for taking evidence from the accusers behind Magu’s back and for not giving him the petitions against him in advance of his defence,” Sagay said, according to the Nation.

The frontline lawyer noted that the panel is packed with DSS, Ministry of Justice and others from security agencies who are all Magu’s accusers.

“Justice Salami appears to be the only neutral person on the panel.

Sagay, also said that he believes that Salami, whom he described as a man of integrity, will not allow any injustice to happen in spite of the composition of the panel.

MASS BREAST FEED PROTEST AT LONDON 5 STAR HOTEL

Image
40 women in London staged a mass breast feed protest outside 5 star hotel Claridge's. The reason for the protest was that staff of Claridge's Hotel told a mother Louise Burns to cover up while she was feeding her baby. After this incidence the leader of UKIP Nigel Farage when asked in a radio programme about women breast feeding their babies in public he said that a woman who wants to breast feed her child should sit in a corner to avoid offending people. So the women organised to breast feed in front of the hotel as a protest. If we do not hide when we eat why should a baby hide. I do not see why any one should be offended to see a breast on a baby's mouth. See more pictures below

When he made this statement Jada Pinkett denied it. But She has come out to confess to having affair with August Alsina. She revealed this on her Facebook show Red Table Talk in a heart to heart talk with the husband Will Smith. She said it happened while the 2 were separated.          "We were over," she says. "From there, as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August." Mr Smith then pushes her, saying "an entanglement? A relationship."
