Abdulrashibu Ya’u, a 40-year-old tea vendor in Sararai village, Jigawar Tsada town, Dutse Local Government Council of Jigawa State, has beaten 20-year-old Hassan Garba to death.

According to reports, Ya’u descended on Garba whom he accused of stealing bread, milk, noodles, and petrol.

Upon receiving the report, the police delegated a team to the scene and arrested the suspect, while the victim was rushed to Rasheed Shekoni Teaching Hospital, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.

DSP Lawan Shiisu Adam, Police Public Relations Officer in Jigawa, said during questioning at the State Criminal Investigation Department in Dutse, Ya’u admitted to the crime, stating that Garba’s repeated thefts had infuriated him, and he had previously informed his parents, but no action was taken.

He said in a fit of rage, Ya’u tied Garba with a rope and beat him with a stick, leading to his death.

He said neighbors reported hearing Garba’s cries for help but were unable to intervene until police officers arrived.

“Following a thorough investigation, Ya’u will be arraigned in court to face the full weight of the law,” the PPRO said

Oga, stop ranting online joor. Your mumu always believe say online curse works? All the leaders you've been cursing since, how many of them have died or afflicted with diseases? See, the only person that could have reset Nigeria really fumbled and underutilized the opportunity he had. Obasanjo despite having the political will failed to revive critical sectors like electricity. Other leaders that were elected after him also underperformed. It's as if our leaders are cursed to lead Nigeria to prosperity.

A Federal High Court in Abuja has frozen 32 bank accounts allegedly linked to the recent #EndBadGovernance protests across Nigeria.

The court order, granted on Thursday, directs banks to place a Post-No-Debit (PND) on the accounts and to apprehend the account holders or any persons transacting business on these accounts.

Justice Emeka Nwite’s ruling was in response to an ex-parte motion filed by the Counsel to the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Mohammed, who alleged that the accounts were used to promote terrorism financing, treasonable felonies, cyberbullying, and cyberstalking.

According to the judge, the court order aims to prevent the suspects from transferring or withdrawing funds from the accounts, which could jeopardize the investigation and possible prosecution.

He declared, “The banks are hereby directed by this honorable court to issue details of the account package(s) and to place a Post-No-Debit (PND) on the accounts, disable the ATM, while allowing inflow into the said accounts from the date of this court order.”

Meanwhile, in the application marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1219/2024, the affected accounts belong to individuals and companies, including PA.LIN.HO Global Service Ltd, Innocent Angel Lovet Chinyere Nkiru, Obidient Movement Multipurpose Cooperative Society, and Great Communicators Champion Multipurpose Cooperative Society Ltd.

The accounts frozen include: 4010073491 (Fidelity Bank), 1255130019 (Access Bank), 0006084167 (Abbey Mortgage Multipurpose Bank Plc), 0821931299 (FCMB), 1012007655 (FCMB), 0000575573 (A AG Mortgage Bank Plc), 1007871587 (UBA), 2037117333 (UBA), 5421031104 (ECOBANK), 0024541201 (Union Bank), 1022899050 (UBA), 8755008491 (Branch International Services Ltd), 5630208636 (Fidelity), 4936992542 (Fairmoney Microfinance Bank), 8755008499 (Branch International Financial Services Ltd), 2088228208 (UBA), 2115678044 (Zenith Bank), 3041823452 (First Bank), 1011828445 (New Edge Finance), 3024402748 (First Bank), 0161502459 (GTBank), 0040580047 (Access Bank), 0250291788 (Wema Bank), 6112464260 (Branch International Financial Services Ltd), 1000774097 (Sparkle Microfinance Bank Ltd), 3434649965 (Fairmoney Microfinance Bank), 2013556714 (KUDA Microfinance Bank), 3104962864 (Polaris Bank), 6112464267 (Branch International Finance Services Lit), 8137051249 (OPAY), and 8137051249 (PALMPAY).

Earlier, Detective Gregory Woji, in his affidavit in support of the ex-parte motion, disclosed that preliminary investigations revealed that some of the suspects arrested were being recruited by financiers to cause mayhem and destroy lives and property. Foreign nationals were also allegedly involved in these unscrupulous acts.

Woji stated: “Preliminary investigations revealed that some of the suspects arrested were being recruited by financiers to cause mayhem and destroy lives and property.

“It is in the interest of justice to grant this request by freezing the accounts of the suspects and ordering their immediate arrest upon sighting them, pending the outcome of the investigation and possible prosecution.”

A Lagos State Magistrate Court in Ogba has discharged six men who were arrested during the 2000 #EndSARS protests and have spent almost four years in prison.

The defendants, identified as Daniel Joyinbo, Adigun Sodiq, Kehinde Shola, Salaudeen Kamilu, Sodiq Usseni, and Azeez Isiaka, were set free by Magistrate Bolanle Osunsanmi on Thursday, after being cautioned.

The defendants were discharged after pleading guilty to a single amended charge brought against them by the Lagos State Government.

The charge, dated August 22, 2024, accused them of conducting themselves in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace, a violation under Section 168(d) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2015.

According to the Director of Public Prosecutions, Dr. Babajide Martins, the alleged offence took place on November 23, 2020, at around 12 pm in the Ebute Metta area of Lagos.

Martins told the court, “The defendants acted in a way that could have disturbed public order, which is a punishable offence under the state’s laws.”

The punishment for the offence of conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace, under Section 168(d) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015, stipulates three months punishment or a fine of N15,000

The court may impose either or both the fine and imprisonment, depending on the severity of the case and other circumstances.

After the defendants entered their guilty pleas, Osunsanmi asked them if they fully understood the consequences.

“Do you understand the content of your guilty plea and the court’s obligation to impose the maximum sentence for this charge?” she asked.

The defendants confirmed they understood and accepted the plea bargain agreement outlined in the amended charge.

While the prosecution urged the court to sentence them in line with the guilty plea agreement, the defence counsel, T.D. Ojeshina, appealed to the court for leniency.

“My Lord, I respectfully ask the court to temper justice with mercy. These young men are first-time offenders and have already spent nearly four years in custody.

“Some of them are the breadwinners of their families and have suffered greatly. They have learnt their lessons,” Ojeshina said.

Osunsanmi, after considering the submissions from both sides, acknowledged the time already served by the defendants.

“In light of the fact that these men have been in prison for nearly four years, I find them guilty as charged but will discharge them as they have already spent more than the required term of punishment,” she said.

Before their release, the magistrate issued a stern caution to the six men, reminding them of the serious consequences of their actions and urging them to lead law-abiding lives in the future.

A Nigerian, Yomi Olayeye, has been arrested for his alleged role in a $10 million Covid-19 unemployment assistance fraud scheme in the United States and charged with conspiracy, wire fraud, and identity theft.

The US Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts under the Department of Justice said Olayeye was apprehended on August 13 upon arriving at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.

The office in a statement posted on its website on Monday said Olayeye and others “conspired to fraudulently obtain at least $10 million in COVID-19 unemployment benefits.”

“Yomi Jones Olayeye, a/k/a “Sabbie,” 40, of Lagos, Nigeria, is charged with one count of wire fraud conspiracy, one count of wire fraud, and one count of aggravated identity theft. He made an initial appearance in the Eastern District of New York on August 14, 2024 and will appear in federal court in Boston tomorrow (Tuesday),” the statement said.

Olayeye and others allegedly defrauded three pandemic assistance programmes administrated by the Massachusetts Department of Unemployment Assistance and other states’ unemployment insurance agencies: traditional unemployment insurance (UI), Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) and Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC).

They were alleged to have used stolen personal information to apply for unemployment benefits in multiple states, including Massachusetts, Hawaii, and Indiana.

“In total, Olayeye and his co-conspirators allegedly applied for at least $10 million in fraudulent UI, PUA and FPUC from Massachusetts, Hawaii, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Montana, Maine, Ohio and Washington and received more than $1.5 million in assistance to which they were not entitled.

“Specifically, Olayeye and his co-conspirators allegedly used personally identifiable information (PII) they purchased over criminal internet forums to apply for UI, PUA and FPUC – falsely representing themselves to be eligible state residents affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Olayeye and his co-conspirators allegedly used the same fraudulently obtained PII to open U.S. bank and prepaid debit card accounts to receive the assistance payments. It is also alleged that Olayeye and his co-conspirators recruited U.S.-based account holders to receive and transfer the fraud proceeds via cash transfer applications,” the statement added.

They were also alleged to have used the benefits to purchase Bitcoin and concealed their connection to Nigeria by using US-based IP addresses.

“Olayeye and his co-conspirators then allegedly used the fraudulent proceeds to purchase Bitcoin via online marketplaces.

“It is further alleged that Olayeye and his co-conspirators concealed the conspiracy’s connection to Nigeria by leasing Internet Protocol addresses assigned to computers located in the United States for use in the fraudulent transactions,” the statement read.

The United States Department of Justice further explained that if convicted, Olayeye faces up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release, a fine of $250,000 or twice the gross gain or loss, forfeiture, and restitution.
