Their arrest came, following investigation into a petition received from the Hong Kong Police Force, that the young lady was a victim of romance scam traced to Nigeria.

Admitting to the crime, Oriafoh who goes by the con name, Terry Mac, confessed that he opened a FaceBook account in the name, just to defraud whoever falls prey to his baits.

“She had fallen in love with me as Terry Mac, a football agent,” he said.

He thereafter took advantage of her love and defrauded her of the said amount, using the domiciliary account of one Adeyemi Hassan Adedeji.

During interrogation, he confessed that the Banker, Adedoyin, provided him with the domiciliary account information to which the money was transferred to.

“The agreement was that whatever funds were received through the account, the account officer and the owner of the account will be entitled to 15 per cent of the funds,” he confessed.

The Banker has made useful information to the Commission and they will soon be charged to court.

Omo, see fight. Watch the shocking video HERE

The first official visit of the wife of the President, Aisha Buhari to Akwa Ibom State was Friday marred by a security breach caused by Senator Godswill Akpabio's wife, Mrs Unoma Akpabio. 

The incident occurred when Mrs Akpabio's attempted to usurp the responsibility of the wife of the Governor, warranting the protocol officers from the presidency to wade in. 

While the door of the aircraft opened and the First Lady Aisha Buhari made to start coming down, the Enugu-born senator's wife suddenly sprang from her place to shove behind Mr Emmanuel, in order to be the one receiving Mrs Buhari to the state. 

The senator's wife had shoved aside the wife of the Governor of the State, who had been positioned rightfully by the presidential protocol team as the state's first lady to receive the country's First Lady formerly into Akwa Ibom. 

This led to the door of the aircraft being shut as the President's wife retreated and waited inside for another 25 minutes before the senator's wife was persuaded to stop further attempts to ridicule the state by her actions. 

Once normalcy was restored, the aircraft doors were opened once again as Mrs Buhari stepped down to a warm embrace of Mrs Emmanuel who introduced her to other Akwa Ibom women at the airport to receive her. 

Meanwhile some women at the airport expressed displeasure at Mrs Akpabio. 

They recounted that no former first lady in the state came to embarrass her, throughout her tenure as first lady between 2007 and 2015, wondering why she is too power-drunk to forget that her tenure expired in 2015.

Meet bro Emma, the husband of a woman who sells foodstuff in my area. They have three children, the youngest is the one in the picture.  His wife, Kabuki leaves home at 5 o'clock in the morning everyday, except Sundays, to go to Agbogbloshie to buy stuff to sell in their container shop.

Bro Emma works the night shift in a factory, he, gets home before his wife leaves, he bathes and feeds the children, takes the two older ones to school, comes back to open their shop and starts attending to customers while taking care of their baby.

He does this till his wife returns from town, around 11 o'clock he helps to bring the things down from the car, makes sure everything is set up well, helps in selling before he goes home to rest for another night shift.

First day i saw him in the container, he was cutting okro for a customer who said she was too busy to do it at home. I walked over and started him in a convo, he told me he didn't find anything wrong with helping the woman he had married and the children God had given them.

His wife, didn't let him finish his sentence, she walked right up to me and said. "Sis Vicky, this man you see here is an angel in human form, he does all these things without complaining, sometimes i ask God what i did to deserve this blessing, Please, thank him for me wai"

At this point, i had tears in my eyes. I prayed for him,showered him with lots of accolades and went on my way.

If you're a man and you don't help your wife at home, but you always want to do distin, even when she's bone tired, learn from bro Emma and change your ways. Remember, we'll not tolerate that character in 2019
