Tiger Woods Jumps In Rankings, Takes Home N745Million
He had climbed all the way to 26th within eight months of his lowest point before reaching 13th by the end of the 2018 season, following a victory at the Tour Championship.
However Tiger Woods who jumped to sixth in rankings after yesterday's game, started Sunday two strokes back of Italy’s Francesco Molinari, a margin that remained through 11 holes, before overcoming the gap in the closing stretch to claim his fifth green jacket. The last time Woods held the world’s top ranking was 10 weeks into the 2014 season. He holds the all-time records for most consecutive weeks (281) and most career weeks (683) atop the rankings.

The convict was arraigned following a petition filed by Prosecution Counsel, Mr Labaran Magaji, on behalf of the Executive Chairman of National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Malam Abdullahi Muhammad, on April 4.

Wedding Guest Under Fire For Very 'Inappropriate' Dress That Would Upstage Bride
The guests have to make sure their dresses look nice for pictures, but also don't detract from the bride's gown.
And aside from the obvious rule of not wearing white or ivory to the ceremony, they also need to consider just how revealing their outfits may be.
One woman recently discovered where the line gets drawn after sharing a photo of a possible dress for a wedding on social media and it's fair to say, it didn't go down well.
In a post on Facebook , a woman asked her friends if a black bodycon dress, with the sides exposed, would be "too much for a wedding".
She wrote: "Have to attend a wedding in about three weeks. I own this dress and I've never worn it yet.
"Is it too much for a wedding? Or is it possibly appropriate?"
Her photo was later shared in a Wedding Shaming group and the negative responses quickly flooded in.

Crazy Electricity Bill Era Set To End
NERC’s General Manager, Finance & Management Services, Abdulkadir Shettima, dropped the hint in a chat with The Nation on the sidelines of the launch of bank consumer and retail financing scheme of Meter Asset Provider (MAP) meter acquisition summit in Lagos yesterday.
Shettima noted that the capping of estimated bills will compel MAP operators to meet targets on the metering policy.
On why the Commission opted to cap estimated billing when customers look forward to expedited metering when the MAP scheme takes-off next month, Shettima said all customers will not be metered at same time. Besides, he said that the NERC would not want customers that are not metered early enough to get outrageous bills.
His words: “We are very serious in ensuring all customers are metered at a maximum of within three years and the metering starts from May this year. Because we don’t want the MAPs or the distribution companies to relax and take this project as any other rule or regulation that they will try to circumvent, we came up with several ways to make sure they comply.
“One of the ways is that they post a cash-backed performance bond that can be called upon and they will lose money if they don’t meet their target, the monthly metering requirement.
“The second one is this capping of estimated bills. Currently, customers that don’t have meters are given estimated bills that are ‘crazy’ in some respects. We want to stop that practice.
“There will be a cap; if a distribution company feels that cap is too low and it is losing money, it is incentivised to go and meter that customer. Assuming the cap is N4,000 and the DisCo feels if that customer is metered it can collect N10,000, let it quickly go and meter that customer if it believes the customer’s consumption is up to that.
“There is a committee that is working on the capping because a lot of analysis has to be done and also a lot of consultation with all the stakeholders, including the DisCos, MAPs and customer groups to arrive at what is fair, so the cap has to be a cap that is realistic, not too high and not too low.”

Any Police Officer Found Guilty Of Power Abuse Will Be Dismissed – IGP Adamu
Adamu, while delivering his speech during his official visit to Lagos State on Monday, also said the line supervisors of such officer, including the Area Commander, Divisional Police Officer or Sectional Head, would be sanctioned for lacking supervision.
The IG, while expressing his condolences to the bereaved families of the victims of the misuse of firearms in the state, said the recent abuse of power by some police officers in the state was against the statutory provisions of the Nigeria Police Force.
He added that an administrative approach had been put in place to re-orientate personnel to enable them function in line with professional conducts.
Adamu said, “My visit has become expedient in view of the recent trend of unprofessional conducts by some personnel who, in utter disregard of their professional training, international protocols, constitutional dictates, Force policies, and ethical standards, have continued to drag the Force into acts that pitch us against the citizens we were engaged, paid, and statutorily obligated to serve and protect.
“From January to April, 2019, Lagos State has recorded four incidents of misuse of firearms which have resulted in extrajudicial killings of young citizens of this country and injury to others. I must emphasise that enough is enough. The nation and indeed the police under the current leadership can no longer tolerate abuse associated with the police either in Lagos or any other part of the country.
“I have already ordered that a signal be circulated to all police commands and formations, warning of dire consequences against any personnel that, by their incorrigible acts, deviate from accepted police culture and values.
“Our visit is to reinforce the extant Force Accountable Policy which holds any officer professionally and criminally liable for the consequences of their actions, particularly, if such misuse of power resulted into the death, injury or indignity of citizens.
“Towards this end, I am sounding this note of warning loud and clear that any police personnel that insists on being incorrigible by engaging in abuse of his or her powers or misuses his weapons with fatal outcomes and in utter disregard of statutory provisions will be arrested, investigated through our internal disciplinary machinery and if found culpable, shall be dismissed from service. In addition, such personnel will be charged to court for murder or sundry offences depending on his or her level of criminal liability in the instance.
“Furthermore, the line supervisors of such officer, including the Area Commander, Divisional Police Officer or Sectional Head, shall be held vicariously liable for lacking supervision and shall, be similarly sanctioned.”
Meanwhile, the police boss who also visited Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, vowed that all the affected officers involved in extra-judicial killings in the state would be charged to court and made to face the full wrath of the law.
Speaking at Lagos House in Alausa, Ikeja, Adamu said the affected officers had already been arrested and tried internally, but that they would also face criminal prosecution for such act, which according to him, was against ethics of the Force.
He also commended Governor Ambode for the massive support to police and other security agencies in the state, saying the successes recorded in keeping the state safe would not have been possible if not for the support of the governor.

Innoson Motors Chairman Should Be Arrested - FG
They were charged with alleged fraud before Justice Ayokunle Faji. The police charged them with an alleged N2.4b shipping fraud, but the Attorney-General of the Federation later took over the matter.
Others named in the charge are: Charles Chukwuma, Maximian Chukwura, Mitsui Osk Lines and Anajekwu Sunny.
The prosecution is praying the court to order the arrest of Innoson Motors Chairman and his workers for failing to take their pleas in a criminal charge. He and his employees were not in court yesterday.
Prosecuting counsel, Mr. Julius Ajakaiye, moved an application for the court to order the arrest of the defendants. The lawyer said the charge was served on them through a court-ordered February 8, 2016 substituted service, following the AGF’s take-over of the matter.
He said since then, the third and fourth defendants had been coming to court, while the first, second and fifth defendants “have refused, failed and neglected to appear in court till date”.
Ajakaiye said the defendants were yet to take their pleas and should be compelled to appear. The lawyer added that an April 12, 2016 amended charge could not be served on the absent defendants.
He urged the court to grant his application by ordering their arrest.
But defence counsel – Chief George Uwechue (SAN) and Prof. C. Mbadugha – prayed the court to dismiss the application. They argued that the court lacked jurisdiction to issue the warrant against the defendants “because they were not properly before the court”.
The lawyers said the application contradicted Order 6 of the Federal High Court Civil Procedure Rules, adding that there was no proper service on their clients.
The prosecution accused the defendants of conspiring to unlawfully falsify shipping clearance documents.
Justice Faji adjourned till July 3 for ruling.

Man Kills Girlfriend Over 'Another Man'
The suspect allegedly shot her dead after accusing her of infidelity. He was said to have queried the deceased at gunpoint about an unknown man and suddenly the gun went off, shattering her face.
It was gathered that the incident, which occurred at about 11pm on Sunday, caused panic. Following the sound of the gun, residents were said to have rushed to the scene, overpowered and apprehended him.
Sources said he was handed over to the police for investigation and prosecution. An eyewitness wondered why a man would kill a girl he had not paid her dowry, on suspicion of cheating.
Police spokesman Asinim Butswat confirmed the incident, saying the suspect was being detained at the command’s headquarters in Yenagoa.
Butswat, a Superintendent of Police, said: “On April 14, at about 2245 hrs, Mr. Munabo Tonworio, male, 28, shot dead his lover, Victoria Ekalamene, female, after a quarrel, at the home of the deceased at Oluasiri in Nembe Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.
The murder weapon, a locally-made gun and an expended AA ammunition, were recovered from the scene. The suspect has been arrested and is being detained at the State Criminal and Investigative Department (SCID), Yenagoa. Investigation is on.”

FIFA Bans Ex-Brazil Football Chief Marin For Life
The 86-year-old Marin was one of the key figures swept up in the graft scandal that began with a series of stunning arrests in 2015 and subsequently upended world football.
He had already been sentenced to four years in a US prison after a court in New York found him guilty in connection with nearly $6.6 million in bribes from sports marketing companies in exchange for contracts to broadcast major tournaments.
But the decision from FIFA’s independent ethics judges definitively confirms that Marin is finished in football.
FIFA’s ethics committee said in a statement that Marin had participated in various bribery schemes.
Judges “banned him for life from all football-related activities (administrative, sports or any other) at both national and international level”, a FIFA statement said.
FIFA also imposed a 1 million Swiss franc ($1 million) fine against Marin, once one of the most powerful figures in world football.
Following his May 2015 arrest at a luxury hotel in Zurich, Marin spent five months in a prison in Switzerland before being extradited to the United States.
He posted bail of $15 million and spent two years living in luxury at Trump Tower, the Fifth Avenue skyscraper best known for housing the penthouse and company headquarters of the US president.
But his life of excess dramatically came to a halt at his sentencing in August, when he broke down in tears over the “nightmare” his family had endured.

Civil Servant Forfeits N124.5m Property To FG
A Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Zuba, Abuja, has ordered the forfeiture to the Federal Government of properties worth N124.5m said to have been illegally acquired by a principal accountant at the Finance and Accounts Department of the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs, Daniel Obah.
Obah was arraigned before Justice E. O. Ebong by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission for acquiring a four-bedroom duplex in Abuja and plots of land in Rivers State through corrupt means.
The ICPC counsel, John-Paul Okwor, told the court that the commission was relying on Section 48 (2) (3) of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000, which gave it the power to obtain a ruling of forfeiture or seizure of assets acquired by individuals through corrupt means.
A statement by the ICPC spokesperson, Rashedat Okoduwa, on Monday in Abuja, said the commission argued before the court that Obah and two other employees of the ministry, Poloma Nuhu and Mangset Dickson, allegedly carried out a coordinated fraud resulting in the withdrawal of N605m from the ministry’s 2014 constituency project account with the Central Bank of Nigeria.
