Nigerian Senate
The Senate has directed the Shell Petroleum Development Company
to respect its earlier resolution which mandated it to pay N6,
936,899,900 to some oil-producing communities in the Niger Delta
region.
The fresh directive followed a protest by people of the affected
communities who lamented the refusal of the SPDC to comply with the
resolutions of the Senate.
A firm, Bekele Jones and Associates had sent a petition to the
upper chamber, to complain about the non-payment of the accumulated
rentals and expired leases.
The firm specifically lamented the non-payment of the
outstanding rentals for the Port Harcourt Oloibiri pipeline, the
Oloibiri field, and the entire Utapate/Akwa Ibom fields.
On receipt of the petition, the Senate leadership through the
office of the Clerk to the National Assembly conveyed its position
to the oil firm.
The letter, dated 4th March 2019, and signed by the Clerk to the
National Assembly, Alhaji Mohammed Sani-Omolori, was addressed
separately to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation,
Mustapha Boss, and Managing Director, SPDC.
The Senate resolved that the firm should pay a uniform rate of
N600,000 per hectare of land as rent per annum for all loss of use
of surface rights from 2014.
The upper chamber also directed the multinational company to
“cancel all long term leases of 99 years already imposed on
landowners and comply with the provisions of the Oil Pipeline Act
which stipulate a term of 20 years only.”
It also resolved that SPDC should respect powers of attorney
donated by landowners to their agents/consultants to negotiate for
them and receive their rentals from the multinational company.
The upper chamber had in its resolution mandated SPDC to pay
N6,936,899,900, which is the total outstanding amount for all
unpaid rentals, expires leases and re-acquisition fees stated.

Kidnappers of Buhari’s Prayer Warrior
Nabbed
…. ‘We fought, killed one another after releasing Sheikh’— Gang
Leader Confesses
A notorious kidnapper, Lawal Ibrahim and members of his gang who
abducted Sheikh Ahmad Sulaiman and other clerics in Katsina State
have been arrested by security operatives while trying to flee the
den.
While being interrogated by security operatives, in a video
obtained by PRNigeria, the gang leader said some members of the
terror group brutally attacked and killed one another after
releasing the popular Quranic reciter and other Islamic
clerics.
Ibrahim, a middle-aged man and another accomplice who gave his
name as Isiyah, said ten of them were involved in the abduction of
the renowned Islamic scholar who supported and offered prayers at
political rallies for the re-election bid of President Muhammadu
Buhari in the build-up to the 2019 general elections.
Ibrahim disclosed that he never met or physically saw one Alhaji
Dogo Nalade who he claimed was their ringleader but said Nalade
regularly communicate with them via phone from an undisclosed
hideout.
The notorious kidnapper said they were arrested while trying to
flee their abduction’s den to Obajana town in Kogi State, in search
of legitimate unskilled jobs after quitting their ‘heinous’ trade
of kidnapping.
He disclosed that the weapons they used for operations were
supplied by persons who asked them to use it for their ‘obnoxious
profession’ and thereafter request for commissions.
“Mallam’s release is somehow mysterious. This is because despite
our unyielding resolve to collect ransom from his people and
well-wishers, we later decided to allow him go.
“However, a violent fight broke out between members of our gang.
Two gang-members were initially killed in the forest by some of our
colleagues. Though, the two of us that were arrested luckily fled
the forest to avoid been killed, seven other kidnappers among us
were shot and killed by our aggrieved members,” he added.
Sheikh Ahmed Sulaiman and others regained freedom from
kidnappers on March 27, 2019 after spending about two weeks in the
kidnappers’ den.
The cleric and other victims were kidnapped along Sheme to
Kankara road in Katsina, on their way back to Kano State, after
attending a religious activity in Kebbi State.
