Ex-Governor Suswam To Be Arraigned Over N3.1Bn Fraud

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will formally arraign a former governor of Benue state, Gabriel Suswam, before an Abuja court today, November 4.

The anti-graft agency had on Monday October 2, filed a nine-count charge bordering on money laundering to the tune of N3.1billion at a Federal High Court, Abuja.

According to Premium Times, Suswam and his former finance commissioner, Omodachi Okolobia, are alleged to have diverted proceeds of the sale of shares owned by the Benue state government and Benue Investment and Property Company Limited.

The offence, the EFCC says, is punishable under section 15(3) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 20111, as amended in 2012.
After the EFCC arrested Suswam, he was set free in the evening of October 12. He reportedly has been been quizzed for several hours.

ITU sets vision for 5G technology

THE International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has set up a vision for the development of 5G mobile, in a bid to provide lightning speed, omnipresent, ultra-reliable mobile communications in the short future.

The ‘IMT-2020’ vision, endorsed by a resolution in ITU’s Radiocommunication Assembly, established overall ‘vision’ for 5G systems, along with the goals, process and timeline for its development is now in place.
The detailed technical performance requirements for the radio systems to support 5G will be developed, in close collaboration with industry and national and regional standards organizations, following the stringent timelines defined by ITU.

“The new ITU-R Resolution sets the stage for the future development of 5G mobile technologies,” said ITU Secretary-General, Houlin Zhao.
Mobile communication has seen revolutionary developments and growth in recent years. New demands, including applications requiring very high data rate communications, many more devices with diverse service requirements, will require an increasing number of innovative solutions.

IMT-2020 Resolution approved, paving the way for 5G mobile systems RA-15 established the principles and processes for the development of IMT-2020 – the next-generation 5G mobile system – as an extension of ITU’s existing family of global standards for International Mobile Telecommunication systems (IMT-2000 and IMT-Advanced), which serve as the basis for all of today’s 3G and 4G mobile systems.

The World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-15), in session November 2-27, will address the requirements for additional spectrum to support IMT mobile broadband.
The 5G systems, set to become available in 2020, will usher in new paradigms in connectivity in mobile broadband wireless systems to support, for example, extremely high definition video services, real time low latency applications and the expanding realm of the Internet of Things.

Too much Red meat can cause cancer –WHO

The World Health Organization has confirmed that high-meat diets can cause cancer.

According to the WHO report, processed meats like sausage and bacon as well as red meats, are all carcinogenic when eaten in high rates. The report was published last month, after 22 scientists from 10 countries brainstormed at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Lyon, France, on the association between cancer and meat consumption in order to evaluate the carcinogenicity of highmeat diets.

The team looked specifically at the health effects of eating processed meat (meat that has been transformed from its original state, such as bacon and sausage), and the effects of eating red meat (unprocessed animal muscle, such as beef, pork, and lamb). In order to evaluate these risks, the researchers investigated the association of cancer and meat consumption in several countries and also looked into how rat populations are affected by these diets. Based on their research, a majority of the group concluded that there is sufficient evidence in human beings for the carcinogenicity of the consumption of processed meat with the report specifically naming ham, hot dogs, sausages, and jerky in this category.

In addition, the team classified the consumption of red meat as probably carcinogenic to humans, but cited that there was inadequate evidence in experimental animals to definitively prove this link. According to them, this correlation between cancer and eating processed meats was strongest seen in the case of colon and stomach cancer, although eating red meat was also linked to pancreatic and prostate cancer.
According to the WHO report, one of the major culprits for meat’s carcinogenic properties is its preparation. “Common meat processing techniques, such as curing and smoking, can often result in the formation of carcinogenic chemicals. For red meat, although cooking makes meat both taste better and easier to digest, it can also produce known or suspected carcinogens”, it said.

Police officer ‘missing’ underage son among 100 wanted terrorists

The pictures and names of the insurgents were unveiled by Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai at the launch of Anti-Boko Haram Terrorists Campaign Materials at the Maimalari Cantonment Youth Centre, Maiduguri, Borno State

According to reports, one of 100 Boko Haram terrorists recently declared wanted by the Nigerian Army is the son of a police officer.

The pictures and names of the insurgents were unveiled by Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai at the launch of Anti-Boko Haram Terrorists Campaign Materials at the Maimalari Cantonment Youth Centre, Maiduguri, Borno State.

The police officer’s son is said to be one of nine under-aged members of the group whose photos were displayed by the Army.

“Nigerians should not be agitated about these pictures. The military authorities are not passing a sentence on the kids. They are declared wanted because they have committed heinous acts against humanity. All these people were caught with weapons. Some of them carried out gory activities too unpleasant to mention,” a military source told Punch.

“The pictures are very necessary and they are serving a strong purpose. Do you know that a policeman saw his child among them? Many parents don’t even know that their children are now fighting on the side of Boko Haram. The security agencies went a long way to get these pictures for a purpose,” the source added.
