The Insight

"Trouble more on $5m bribe" is the banner headline of the Insight. The story says sources close to Aso Rocks, say that Alhaji Ismaila Gwarzo, former national security advisor to the late Nigerian dictator, General Sani Abacha, is to be put on trial for looting $1 billion from the Central Bank.

The trail will undoubtedly spell trouble for Mr. Jerry John Rawlings, who has been blown unto the ropes for allegedly receiving a bribe of $5m from General Abacha.

All the three papers- The Chronicle, the Free Press and the Insight, report on the Reformed Movement under following headlines: "Reform Movement will contest 2000 elections", "NDC cracks - Reformists secede" and "NDC head ache" repectively.
