THISDAY also gathered that President Olusegun Obasanjo has sent a letter of congratulations to Imo.

How BiafraNigeria's Oil Thieves...   Ige's Death: The Drama Continues   AUDIO   VIDEO The equivalent of a full tanker is being illegally siphoned off every week. By Anthony Goldman, Michael Peel and David White. The humid creeks and dense mangrove swamps of the Niger delta have been a source of illicit trade since the days of slavery. Now a new form of smuggling is threatening the stability of Nigeria's vast oil sector as well as putting pressure on President Olusegun Obasanjo, sworn in today for a second four-year term. (This Day)   Despite the attempt at reforms by the Police in recent times, many have lost hope in its ability to effectively police the country. Not only have killings increased, defaulters escape the wrath of the law, therefore emboldening evil doers to continue in their untoward ways. The assassination in Dec. 2001 of the former Atty Gen. and Min. of Justice, Chief Bola Ige and the politics surrounding the case leaves much to be desired.
