I checked his YouTube page. The views are not enough to make a splash except if you have a different youtube account


The EFCC perhaps wasn't all wrong

I believe one of those jealous Nigerians must have reported him to EFCC or he broke money laundering laws unknowingly, could also be a witch hunt because of his political content.

The lawyer who was suppose to protect him was already incapacitated when she saw her bank client and partner ( conflict of interest)

Efcc took action, they knew he was legit that is why they couldn't sue him to court but they wanted to frustrate him.

They guy sue them back and won but i doubt they will give him one dime for damages.

No jealous Nigerian reported him to efcc, many of his friends and circle who knows he is into YouTube already know he is legit, sometimes this whistle blowing comes from bank staffs who are hoping to collect their share from his money.

Because if it was a stranger who did it, efcc won’t go and be freezing his bank accounts first they would have raided his house first

High court awarded 100m Naira damages, Appeal court slashed to 75 million and the young man is crying that the legal fee from high court to appeal court is more than what the appeal court awarded
The payment was slashed by 75%, not to 75million. Learn how to listen

U guys are underestimating wickedness in Nigeria. Efcc can seal or delete or even inform google that ur account should be closed based on fraud investigation against u. It’s just like someone running a business and fbi flags it for fraud, immediately they will close it down.

This big companies and international organisations don’t know that Nigeria is anyhow place they take what they hear from Nigeria to heart, that’s how a comedian was framed and his pictures were taken with one tanked of tramadol and put by ndlea on the internet Just because he brought out camera to video them when they said they want to search his house

Look my friend, good you won them in court. But i tell you, if it were in the USA, those crooked cop that requested for a $5000 bribe even when they know you are squeaky clean, will collect. Spiritually or physical. You can't destroy a clean man business and hope to be safe on this earth, i keep records! That is how the West sanitized their cities. Until they start getting it hot too, these bribe madness will not stop, Peter Obi or not. I can imagine those not lucky as you are! Those who cave in. Those were silenced with active support from their lawyers & bankers or family members.

On Issues like this mercy should be tossed away! It takes a really wicked and depraved human being to demand bribe from an innocent man! Asking a criminal might be understandable in some quarters but an innocent man? I swear you go collect.

A young Nigerian Jude Bela has won the Nigeria Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at the appellate court for illegal detention, and confiscation of his properties all in the name of "he's too young to make money from Google Adsense"

According to the video shared by Jude Bela on his YouTube page, trouble started back in 2019 when the EFCC ordered 2 Nigerian banks UBA and Polaris banks to freeze all his accounts on suspicion of money laundering. He was invited to the EFCC office where he was later detained for four days and thereafter his house was searched where the EFCC took his house and business documents and later seized his cars and house.

According to Bela, he showed EFCC his source of income which is Google Adsense from YouTube but the argument from EFCC was that he was too young to have such an amount. After much frustration by EFCC and its refusal to charge him to court, he decided to sue the EFCC at the federal high court where he won the case against the gross violation of his human rights. The case was appealed by EFCC at the appeal court and the appellate court also upheld the judgement of the high court.

During this trauma period, he lost everything, his business, joy and YouTube channel

I checked the guy content from his first channel

They witch hunted him because of politics.

His content are all about politics and some relating to endsar

Oh I see.
In that case he should have sued them for more than 100mil.

But the problem be say Nigeria government no dey ever obey court order. Even that 75mil, he might not get it in the next 10 years. He might have to somehow move the case to supreme court.

where did you read 100M
& 75M? He said he was awarded 5M but the high court later reduced that amount to 1.5M which wasn’t enough to cover the costs he’d incurred. What a lawless country? Someone cannot earn a lot of money because the people at the top have an issue with it. Someone can just confiscate your property and freeze your account without a court order.

Best thing is for him to move out of Nigeria and go to Ghana or UK and keep shooting his videos.. imagine a pastor and a local government chairman and efcc agent trying to make him give them 5000$. Out of his legitimate earnings or is it easy to come up with contents, face the fear of FOPO (fear of other people opinions) face the camera and hit record?

Countless days of drinking garri and groundnut.
His channel was was shut down but he will bounce back again. Any Efcc way come harass me will face d same embarrassment in court and more. That’s why it’s good to be legit o
