Glamorous Iranian woman living high life in Los Angeles is arrested for 'trafficking deadly drones and bombs for Tehran'

A glamorous Iranian woman living a lavish life in Los Angeles was arrested for allegedly trafficking deadly drones and bombs for Tehran.

Shamim Mafi, 44, was taken into custody at Los Angeles International Airport on Saturday night and charged with allegedly brokering the sale of drones, bombs, bomb fuses, and millions of rounds of ammunition to be sold to Sudan, the US Attorney for the Central District of California said on Sunday.

Mafi left Iran in 2013 and became a permanent US resident in 2016 under the Obama administration, officials stated.

The Woodland Hills resident allegedly used Atlas International Business, an Oman-registered company, to broker weapons deals as recently as 2025, according to court records obtained by the New York Post.

One of her sales included a contract for more than $70 million for Mohajer-6 armed drones made by Iran's Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics.

Those drones and 55,000 bomb fuses were transferred in deals with the Sudanese Ministry of Defense, which has been fighting in a violent civil war since 2023.

According to phone records included in court documents, Mafi had direct contact with Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) between December 2022 and June 2025.

During her time in America, Mafi has shared pictures of her living the high life, including an image of her posing in a $100,000 Mercedes-Benz.

She told investigators that she has never been hired by Iran to conduct any activities for Tehran on American soil.

Meanwhile, prosecutors said Mafi had no legal clearance to oversee the alleged dangerous weapon sales.

A previous investigation revealed that Tehran seized properties that Mafi inherited from her father in 2020, according to court records.

The Ministry of Intelligence then told her to open a business in the US to buy the properties back from the Iranian government, court records stated.

According to prosecutors, Iran also offered to pay for her start-up costs.

Mafi allegedly said that she is 'more useful' to the Iranian spies in Tehran than in the US, prosecutors said.

In our town of Ere Ijesa, the first settler was Nupe, the second is Oyo then others from Igbajo, Ilare, Ijero and etc and all are now Ijesa. In Ilesa itself there are prominent families with title originally from different places. That is how communities are formed all over the world. There is no city you will go to that is not like that and the indigenes of such cities can not be claiming to be of different ethnic origins. However someone that still have family in another place can go and claim that other place. The town Fulani have become essentially Hausa and it is only the cattle type that is still different. Even if the Fulani elite say they are not Hausa, can they say Kano is not Hausa land? To avoid the confusion is why they call themselves Hausa Fulani. If no jihad, no indigene of Kano will be identifying as non Hausa and despite the jihad, it is still not right to refer to Kano as multiethnic but every situation is peculiar though

lawani:
Let the people themselves say they are not Hausa. No Kanawa ought to be saying they are not Hausa including the Fulani. It is just like a Yoruba man saying he is not Yoruba because his great great great grandfather came from Mali or Senegal. If they have no home but Kano then they are Hausa.

Israeli forces desecrate Lebanese church

Incidents Involving Israeli Soldiers

Desecration of Jesus and Mary Statues in the southern Lebanese village of Sarada, journalists reported that a church used by Israeli forces was found in a state of desecration.

Discoveries included:

1 - A statue of Jesus with its head cut off
2 - A statue of the Virgin Mary with its face cut off and a figure of baby Jesus with an arm removed.
3 - Evidence that the damage was intentional and not caused by combat.

lawani:
They have leaders that guide them and they are the most progressive voters in the country. If they had revenue of their own like Lagos they would have been the best state in the country

seunmsg:
Kano will be the most hotly contested state as far as the presidential election is concerned in 2027. Kwakwanso was the star man of Kano in 2023. Sadly for him, he has lost a huge ground to the APC. The fact that he won’t even be at the top of any ballot in 2027 makes the state more open and competitive.

With Ganduje, Abba Yusuf, Barau Jibrin and now Shekarau all on Tinubu’s side, we may see the biggest upset in Kano next year.

Ghanaian arrested for allegedly stealing police armoured Vehicle

A man identified as Ebenezer Frimpong has been arrested for allegedly stealing an armoured vehicle belonging to the Ghana Police Service in Nkawie Market, located in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.

According to Zagazola Makama, the incident occurred when the driver of the police armoured vehicle briefly stepped away, leaving the engine running in the busy market area.

Frimpong was said to have taken advantage of the situation, entered the vehicle, and drove off, prompting an immediate response from security operatives.

Law enforcement officers launched a coordinated pursuit after receiving reports of the theft, tracking the suspect along the Nkawie–Mim route.

He was eventually intercepted and arrested near Mim following what authorities described as a swift and coordinated operation.

“The suspect was apprehended without further incident, and the vehicle was recovered intact,” a security source said.

Authorities confirmed that the armoured vehicle was retrieved without damage and has since been returned to police custody.

Frimpong remains in custody as investigations continue to determine the full circumstances surrounding the incident.

You know why?

In the book "48 Laws of Power", I read where it was stated that if 2 or more are scrambling for power, the one that gets it would use his power to crush the competitors to establish himself and confirm his dominance.

Meaning that, Atiku , Ameachi, kwakwaso they all know that whoever gets it will betray the losers and will never follow whatever agreement they had. He will rather be surrounded by new set of people and push aside his former competitors.

That's how it works.

You think if Atiku wins he will not crush the influence of kwakwaso in Kano? If Atiku wins, you think Obi, even if made a VP, would have much say on the south east people that would form govt with him?

Atiku will rather go for his old allies in PDP and SDP then. Crush your competitors, crush your opponents, crush everyone that competed with you.

That's the game.

Melezenawii:
If Atiku is saying the only qualification he has to become president is that he's from North. Well and good. That means on the election day, the North should vote for him, and the South shouldn't.

Lol...

How is expressing personal opinion as fact freedom of speech especially for someone that's supposed to be neutral. It's like me inviting you to my program and accusing you of being a convicted criminal even when you've never been found quilty by a court of law. Is that also freedom of speech?

Its like saying slander is freedom of speech, doesn't work that way. Always be ready to take responsibility for your utterances especially when they are not backed with facts or evidences. Social media has made many people too comfortable with committing slander and everyone now sees it as normal.

The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) says broadcast presenters who express personal opinions as facts or bully guests on air will face sanctions.

In a statement on Friday, the commission said it has observed a rise in violations of the sixth edition of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code across news, current affairs and political programmes.

“The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has identified a sustained increase in breaches of the 6th Edition of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code across News, Current Affairs, and Political Programmes,” the statement reads.

“Broadcast platforms are increasingly being deployed in ways that depart from their core obligation to inform the public with accuracy, balance, and professionalism.”

The NBC said some anchors and presenters now deviate from professional standards by denying fair hearing to opposing views and compromising neutrality during broadcasts.

The commission warned that such conduct contravenes provisions of the code, which require presenters to remain impartial and ensure all sides to issues of public interest are fairly represented.

“Henceforth, any anchor or presenter found to have expressed personal opinion as fact, bullied or intimidated a guest, denied fair hearing to opposing views, or otherwise compromised neutrality, shall be deemed to have committed a Class B breach,” NBC said.

The NBC also raised concerns over the increasing use of broadcast platforms by political actors to air divisive, inflammatory and unsubstantiated content.

It reiterated that broadcasters bear full editorial responsibility for all content aired, including during live programmes, adding that such responsibility cannot be transferred to guests.

The NBC said it will enforce strict compliance with the broadcasting code, warning that breaches relating to hate speech, incitement and lack of balance will attract sanctions.

The commission urged broadcasters to uphold professionalism, fairness and accuracy, adding that as Nigeria enters a critical electoral period, the airwaves must not be used to propagate misinformation.

More than one in three young men in the UK were living with their parents in 2025, up from 26% in 2000, according to data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

The increase is being driven by high renting costs and rising house prices, recent studies suggest.

The data shows 35% of young men aged 20-35 were living with their parents - more than young women (22%), although the rate in both groups has been increasing.

In separate research, the statistics body found the rising cost of living was the most important issue facing adults, above the NHS and the economy in general.

Nathan, 24, lives with his dad in a council house just outside of Manchester.

He works night shifts cleaning and maintaining trains and says he has managed to build up a savings pot of £50,000 by not moving out of the family home.

"If you are lucky enough to live with a mum, dad or grandparent who doesn't charge you much rent, then you can build up money even on the minimum wage," he says.

He says he cooks chillis and stews to take to work, avoids impulse purchases and tries to keep spending on a night out below £20.

"I'm not that interested in getting a flashy car, spending it all on alcohol, or getting some £500 trainers," he adds.

"My dad managed to buy a house at 21, but that was just how it was back then."
