EFCC files corruption charges against AIT founder over N2.1bn he collected from Dasuki

By

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed six
counts charges against media owner Raymond Dokpesi for receiving
N2.1billion from the embattled former National Security Adviser (NSA),
Sambo Dasuki out of the funds meant for the purchase of arms for the
Nigerian military.
Upon his arrest last week, Dokpesi had admitted to collecting the sum
of N2.1billion from the ex-NSA, but claimed the funds were meant for
media campaigns of former President Goodluck Jonathan 's 2015
Presidential election, of which he lost to the incumbent, President
Muhammadu Buhari.

It was gathered that the charge, marked FHC/ABJ/CR/380/2015, was
filed before the Federal high Court, Abuja. He is charged along with his
company – Daar Holding and Investment Limited.
The EFCC's suit, which is yet to be assigned to any judge, accuses
Dokpesi and his company of violating the Money Laundering Act, the
EFCC Act and the Public Procurement Act.
Many of the top officials of the Jonathan administration have also
been fingered in the arms purchase scandal, but the AIT boss is the
second to be charged - Dasuki who is the chief suspect is already
facing trial.
He is being tried before the Federal High Court, Abuja for illegal
possession of firearms and money laundering.

Higher Ground Lyrics I’m pressing on the upward way, New heights I’m gaining every day; Still praying as I’m onward bound, “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.” Lord, lift me up and let me stand, By faith, on Heaven’s tableland, A higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. My heart has no desire to stay Where doubts arise and fears dismay; Though some may dwell where those abound, My prayer, my aim, is higher ground. Lord, lift me up and let me stand, By faith, on Heaven’s tableland, A higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. I want to live above the world, Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled; For faith has caught the joyful sound, The song of saints on higher ground. Lord, lift me up and let me stand, By faith, on Heaven’s tableland, A higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. I want to scale the utmost height And catch a gleam of glory bright; But sti...

Becoming a Background Singer

By
BECOMING A BACKGROUND SINGER Career Description   The B ackground Singer provides backup to other Singers and musicians in recordings, commercial jingles, or live performances.

Specifically, they must build up a strong reputation as a great singer who is flexible and available when they are needed.
