This Bill seeks to establish a National Convict and Criminal Records (Registry) Act to provide for the establishment of a National registry with regard to the collation and storage of criminal information and records for the country.

This bill will create a central record of information of persons convicted of criminal
offences whether in Nigeria or in other countries

It will demand records from the various courts in Nigeria vested with criminal jurisdiction, information and records of persons convicted of criminal offences

It will demand records from the prison authorities and other remand homes and centres, information and records of persons serving or have served any term of imprisonment as convicts

It will demand records from Nigerian missions abroad, police authorities and such other relevant institutions, information and records relating to Nigerians that have been convicted of criminal offences in other countries or are serving or have served any term imprisonment in such countries

This bill will formulate, initiate and implement such policies, programmes and measures that will enhance information and record-keeping or persons convicted of criminal offences with a view to having and maintaining an efficient and reliable data-base system of criminal records in Nigeria

This bill will do anything which in its opinion may advance the objects for which the
registry is set up

A report by The Centre for Research on Globalisation (CRG) an independent research and media organization based in Montreal. claims that--------

Nigerian military sources have confirmed that U.S. troops are scheduled to be deployed within Nigeria to help local forces do battle with Boko Haram. U.S. officials have not confirmed the deployment, however the increased presence in the region would be consistent with the cumulative expansion of an aggressive Pan-African foreign policy, spearheaded by America’s first President of African descent.

Marubeni Corp., a Japanese trading company, agreed to pay the US Justice Department $54.6 million to resolve charges related to a decade-long scheme to bribe Nigerian government officials in connection with the so-called Bonny Island project for contracts.

The companies that make up TSKJ have all settled FCPA cases with U.S. authorities. Halliburton, along with its former subsidiary KBR, was the first to settle in February 2009, when it agreed to pay $579 million. Technip agreed to pay $338 million in late June 2010, and 10 days later Snamprogetti — formerly a unit of Eni SpA and later a unit of Saipem SpA — agreed to pay $365 million. JGC agreed to pay $218.8 million.

Tesler pleaded guilty in March 2011 to two counts of violating the FCPA and agreed to forfeit nearly $149 million. Wojeich Chodan, Tesler’s partner, pleaded guilty in December 2010 and agreed to forfeit nearly $727,000. KBR CEO Albert “Jack” Stanley pleaded guilty in September 2008 to conspiring to violate the FCPA.

The U.S. Embassy and Consulate General issue the following emergency
message for U.S. citizens visiting or residing in Nigeria.

Although the Nigeria Labor Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress
(TUC) suspended nationwide strikes to protest the end of the gasoline
subsidy on Monday, January 16, demonstrations continue in various cities
throughout Nigeria. Large demonstrations by civil society groups have
been called for Saturday, January 21 in Abuja, Jos, Kaduna, Kano, and
Lagos. Curfews are still in place in the cities of Gusau (Zamfara
State), Maiduguri (Borno State), Minna (Niger State), Potiskum (Yobe
State), and Yola (Adamawa State). The Embassy and Consulate General
received reports of demonstrations planned for the Unity Fountain in
Abuja and Freedom Square, Ojota, and Lekki Toll Plaza in Lagos.

Even though the organizers of these events pledged to stage peaceful
protests, the potential exists for some events to become confrontational
and escalate into violence. Military personnel have been deployed to
Lagos as a result of ongoing demonstrations and teargas has reportedly
been used on protestors by authorities to control crowds. We urge U.S.
citizens to avoid the areas near protests and maintain low profiles.
U.S. citizens should monitor news reports regarding the location of
demonstrations. While shops, gas stations, and banks have reopened
across the country, long queues can be expected at most gas stations.

International and domestic air travel remains disrupted to a degree as a
result of the nationwide strike last week. As the situation is still
fluid, we advise U.S. citizens to confirm flight schedules directly with
airlines before you travel to the airport.

Please review your personal security plans, remain aware of your
surroundings, monitor local news stations for updates, and report
specific incidents of targeted violence to the U.S. Embassy in Abuja or
the U.S. Consulate General in Lagos

Police say a U.S. citizen has been kidnapped in Nigeria's oil-rich southern delta.

Delta state police spokesman Charles Muka says the kidnapping happened Friday morning outside of a bank in Warri, the state capital. Muka said investigators believe the man had been followed by kidnappers before the attack.

Muka said the kidnappers are asking for a $333,000 ransom.

A spokeswoman with the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria declined to immediately comment.

Kidnapping in the Niger Delta remain common, with criminal gangs and militants often seizing expatriate oil workers. Muka said he did not know if the man kidnapped Friday worked for an oil company.
