In a remarkable display of readiness and commitment to ensuring a safe and secure environment for the upcoming off-cycle gubernatorial election, the Combined Force for Operation Safe Conduct in Kogi State was officially flagged off with a Show of Force by the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 2 Division Nigerian Army Major General Bamidele Alabi.

The flag Off which took place on 6 November 2023 at the 12 Brigade Nigerian Army Parade Ground Chari Maigumeri Barracks Lokoja signposts the readiness and preparations the Nigerian Army has over the years put in place in support of other stakeholders in the electoral process in Nigeria and Kogi State in particular. It also emphasized the importance of Operation Safe Conduct in preserving the peace and security of the state during the electioneering period as well as ensuring that the people of Kogi State can exercise their rights to vote in a safe and secure environment.

The GOC urged citizens to cooperate with the security agencies and report any suspicious activities that would undermine the peaceful conduct of the election, in Kogi state on
Saturday 11 Nov 23. The launch of Operation Safe Conduct in Kogi State sends a clear message that the security forces are fully prepared and committed to ensuring a violence-free and fair electoral process.
With the combined force in place, residents and voters can look forward to exercising their civic duties in an atmosphere of safety and security.

As the election day draws closer, the joint efforts of the security agencies in Kogi State with the full support of the Chief of Army Staff Lt Gen Taoreed Lagbaja will play a pivotal role in upholding the democratic values of the nation and preserving the peace in the state. Citizens are therefore enjoined to come out en masse to exercise their rights and be assured that the Security Agencies will deal ruthlessly with anybody who wants to foment trouble or disrupt the electoral process. Equally, bandits, ballot box snatchers, and criminal elements who would want to disguise themselves as security agents are also warned to desist from such nefarious acts in their own interest as measures are in place to swiftly apprehend and deal decisively with them.

'Crypto King' Sam Bankman-Fried found guilty of fr@ud, faces up to 115 years in prison

The co-founder and former CEO of crypto exchange FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, was on Thursday, November 2, found guilty on all seven counts related to fr@ud and money laundering.

Bankman-Fried, who also owned a trading firm called Alameda Research, was charged with misappropriating billions of dollars of customer funds, among others, about a year ago, few weeks after both companies filed for bankruptcy.

A 12-member jury in Manhattan federal court, USA, convicted the 31-year-old former billionaire on all seven counts he faced after a five-week trial in which prosecutors made the case that he looted $8 billion from the exchange's users out of sheer gr££d, according to Reuters.

The jury took about four hours to come to a verdict on six counts relating to fr@ud and one count relating to money laundering.

Bankman-Fried was said to had st%le over $8 billion in customer funds. It would be recalled that trouble began after a faulty Alameda balance sheet was unveiled by CoinDesk in November 2022.

In his trial, Bankman-Fried testified that he didn’t defr@ud FTX customers or take their funds, but that Alameda “borrowed” money from the exchange.

Prosecutors argued Bankman-Fried made false promises and was responsible for the loss of billions of dollars for thousands of investors on FTX. They also argued he had many opportunities to come clean, but instead doubled down.

The DOJ’s December 2022 indictment stated Bankman-Fried knowingly defr@uded FTX customers by misusing their deposits to invest in other companies and pay off lenders and expenses.

U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan set Bankman-Fried's sentencing for March 28, 2024. He faces up to 115 years in prison.
