Nuhu Ribadu: How I Planned to Arrest Aisha Buhari Impostor Before I Left EFCC

Ex EFCC Chairman, Nuhu Ribadu has stated that he had plans to arrest the “isha Buhari impostor who was involved in the Halliburton bribery scandal.

According to him, the EFCC during his tenure, almost arrested her, in conjunction with U.S. authorities.

“She is a different person and has lived in the U.S. for years. She is hardly in Nigeria. The EFCC was working with U.S. authorities on the investigations. One of my plans was to arrest her before I left the commission. Our suspicion then was that she was using the Buhari name for influence.

“The EFCC laid ambush to see if she would come into the country so she could be arrested. I didn’t know what happened to the plan to arrest her after I left,” he said.

He however added that authorities can still arrest her if they so wish as she recently renewed her passport at the Nigerian embassy in Washington and her file should still be available.

How To Recover Whatsapp Chat History After Formatting Or Changing Phone

It is a workable option to retain all your WhatsApp conversations after formatting your Android phone. You can also transfer your WhatsApp conversations from one Android phone to another. Formatting is supposed to clear your smartphone of all user-installed applications and inputs, and sets the device to its factory settings. However, you may wish to have your WhatsApp conversations back to your phone after a format. Furthermore, in the event that you want to dispose of your phone, you may also want to retain your WhatsApp conversations, and put them in a new phone.

How To Back Up WhatsApp Conversations

WhatsApp is programmed to do an automatic daily backup of conversations by 4am, provided your phone is switched on at that time. However, you need not have your phone on to have a backup because manual backup is available at all times.

1. Open WhatsApp

2. Go to Menu > Settings > Chat settings, and tap Backup conversations.

All conversations will be backed up in an encrpticd file found under Files > All > Device Storage > WhatsApp > Databases. The specific backup file will look likemsgstore.db.crypt8 or something similar.

3. Move the whole WhatsApp folder to a memory card. If your device does not support a memory card, you can connect your device to a PC via USB (mass storage mode or media device), and move the WhatsApp folder to your desktop or anywhere on your computer.

How To Restore WhatsApp Conversations To A Phone You Have Formatted Or A New Phone

4. Put the memory card in the phone you have formatted or a new phone and move the WhatsApp folder to phone memory. If the device has no support for memory card, connect the phone to a PC via USB and move the WhatsApp placed on the desktop (or elsewhere) to the phone storage.

5. Download and install WhatsApp

6. Agree to Terms of Service and continue.

7. Enter your number and click OK. The number to be entered is the one that you had in WhatsApp when you backed up your conversations.

8. During verification and activation, WhatsApp will discover that you have a backup file. It will show you two buttons, namely, Restore and Skip restore.

Select Restore.

The backup conversations are restored.

9. Click Continue and follow the prompts.

When WhatsApp is fully activated, you will discover that your chat history has been restored to your previously formatted phone, or the chat history from the old phone is intact in the new device.

Note: Transfer of chat history works only within a platform, that is, you can only restore it from one Android phone to another Android phone, not to another phone running a non-Android operating system, and vice versa.

I Know Nothing About Forged Senate Rules – Saraki Cries Out

Nigeria’s Senate President Bukola Saraki, has claimed that he knows nothing of the forgery charges leveled against him by the federal government.

In a statement by his spokesman, Yusuph Olaniyonu, Saraki said he doesn’t know how the rules adopted in the inauguration of the Eighth Senate on June 9, 2015 was formulated.

He said the on-going efforts to drag him into a case of forgery before the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, was just another phase in the orchestrated persecution he has faced since he emerged as Senate President a little over a year ago.

“The Police in their investigation were conscious that the incumbent Senate President was not in office prior to June 9, 2015 and that was why in their letters inviting some individuals for their investigation, they only mentioned officers of the 7th Senate. The last of the letters was written to the Clerk of the National Assembly on June 7, 2016 and he was not among those invited.

“Those who decided to smuggle the name of the Senate President into the charge sheet after the fact knew perfectly well that only the leadership of the 7th Senate were invited for investigation. But they needed to implicate him in keeping with their declared vow to ensure that even if their current efforts to nail him through the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) fails, they would find other ways to carry out their vendetta.

“This so-called forgery case is another wanton abuse of the judicial process and making a mockery of the institution of justice. As the Senate earlier stated, the sponsors of this plot are not only gunning for Dr. Saraki, what they have just launched with this latest antics is a grand onslaught on the foremost institution of our democracy. The only institutional difference between dictatorship and democracy is the presence of the legislature. Therefore, by seeking to cripple the National Assembly, they have declared a war on our hard-won democracy and aimed for the very jugular of our freedom.

“Let us restate the fact that the Senators who initiated the Police investigation in the first place had raised the same matter on the floor and were overwhelmingly overruled. They also filed a civil suit and were told by the court that neither the judiciary nor the executive can interfere in the internal affairs of the legislative arm.

“The Senate President recognizes the sundry problems bedeviling our nation today – food insecurity, devaluation of the Naira, inflation, unemployment, failing national infrastructure, insurgency in the North-eastern part of the country, restiveness in the oil producing areas, and general insecurity, among others – and believes that finding solutions to them should be the priority, at this period, for every individual in government, not the pursuit of narrow political objectives. That is why these needless distractions will do nobody any good. In fact, it will not help in delivering on the promise of bringing positive change to the lives of our people who voted for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last elections.

“The Senate President does not see what value this current attempt to shut down the Senate by dragging its presiding officers before a court for a phantom allegation of forgery will add to the attempts to solve the problems confronting the nation.

“Dr. Saraki will however explore all legal options necessary to ward off this fresh case of persecution and distraction”, the statement added.
