Thorough cleansing to remove backstabbers, betrayers & moles in his government!
Good job.
Clearly evident that their loyalties was with Wike before the state of emergency was declared.

owobokiri:
How can a president connive with an overbearing "godfather" to turn a sitting governor into an object of caricature

How can a sitting president willfully connive with a proudly corrupt ex governor to declare a bazaar on the finances of a state?

What kind of president is that!?

SeeWahala:
Igbos are good in buying and selling so why did this one go and put hand inside 'wire-wire' that we have left for Yoruba obas to do?

If you left your country because it's not working, what justifies going to a place where things work and still get involved in criminality?

The United States Department of Justice on Monday said that Tochuwku Nnebocha, a 43-year-old Nigerian, has been extradited from the Republic of Poland to face federal charges for operating a transnational criminal organisation that defrauded elderly Americans of millions of dollars.

The DOJ disclosed this in a statement issued and posted on its website on Monday.

According to the DOJ’s statement, Nnebocha made his initial appearance in federal court in Miami, Florida, following his arrest in April 2025 by Polish authorities based on an indictment filed in the Southern District of Florida.

He has remained in custody in Poland since his arrest.

The court documents obtained by the DOJ stated that Nnebocha is charged with operating an inheritance fraud scheme spanning more than five years.

He and his accomplices allegedly sent personalised letters to elderly consumers in the US, falsely claiming that the recipients were entitled to multimillion-dollar inheritances from deceased relatives in Spain.

It was said that victims were instructed to pay delivery fees, taxes, or other payments to avoid questioning by government authorities before they could receive their supposed inheritance.
Victims who sent money never received any of the purported inheritance funds.

“The payments were routed through a complex network of US-based former victims, who were manipulated into forwarding money to the defendants or their associates,” DOJ stated.

Nnebocha faces charges including conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, as well as mail and wire fraud. If convicted, he could face a maximum prison sentence of 20 years.

A federal district court judge will determine his sentence after considering the US Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Two other defendants, Okezie Bonaventure Ogbata, extradited from Portugal, and Ehis Lawrence Akhimie, extradited from the United Kingdom, have previously pleaded guilty and were sentenced to 97 months in prison for their roles in the scheme.

The DOJ highlighted the case as part of ongoing efforts to protect American seniors from domestic and foreign scams, including romance fraud, lottery fraud, tech support fraud, and grandparent scams.

“These confidence schemes exploit the vulnerability of seniors and often result in significant financial losses,” the statement added

In romance fraud, perpetrators feign romantic interest to extract money or property from victims. Lottery fraud schemes convince victims they have won prizes in non-existent lotteries to collect fake fees.

Tech support scams involve tricking victims into believing their devices are infected or broken, while grandparent scams exploit familial trust to coerce victims into sending emergency funds.

Senior Trial Attorney and Transnational Criminal Litigation Coordinator Phil Toomajian, alongside Trial Attorney Josh Rothman of the Justice Department’s Consumer Protection Branch, are prosecuting the case.

According to the DOJ, the investigation involved collaboration with the Criminal Division’s Office of International Affairs, the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida, the Federal Bureau of Investigation Legal Attaché in Poland, INTERPOL, and Polish authorities.

“This extradition underscores our commitment to holding perpetrators accountable, no matter where they operate, and to safeguarding seniors from fraudulent schemes that can devastate lives,” the DOJ statement said.

Nnebocha’s extradition marks another chapter in the US government’s crackdown on transnational fraud, particularly schemes targeting vulnerable populations abroad and within the United States.

PUNCH Online had reported that a Nigerian man residing in France, Chukwuemeka Amachukwu, was extradited to the United States to face charges of computer hacking, fraud, and identity theft.
The 39-year-old was arrested in France and extradited to New York at the request of the United States

kmaster007:
This part of region are you a disgrace to Nigeria

ZoomTravels:
You have spoken the truth. They have turned countries that do not even have strict visa policies to be extra mindful of every Nigerian. They really need to go their way, no more of this unholy matrimony

kafeii123:
You think outsiders know one nigerian tribe different from the other?.... When yorubas commit wire fraud and drug heists...you think the news will write their tribes instead of their nationality?

Why are you people cutting your noses to spite your faces?

alizma:
This news is half baked, the preliminary investigation showed he was kidnapped and the next thing is arresting two Nigerians, no info on how they were link to the victim. Is

helinues:
And small time, they would be shouting everyone hates them. Would you be loved with the continuation of criminal activities outside Nigeria!

helinues:
And then some intolerant SA people would take advantage of this to attack other Nigerians.

The story is everywhere, same culprits soiling Nigeria's name in the mud always

SmartPolician:
I think it's too early to say whether they committed the crime or not. Let's wait for police investigation and judgement passed on the matter. Anyone can be picked up for a come they didn't commit

esnbrutality:
The fact that this thread has been abandoned by Tinubu supportes is a clear testament to the fact that 1 NIGERIA is a myth and scam. It's all about interest of regions.

Anyway, the CDS MUSA won't talk
IG Egbetokun can't talk

Who then gives soldiers the orders to withdraw and everytime these marauders go in and kill people.

All I know is that those that castigate SE are still NOT in the good books of their brothers in the North, even after building bridges

Seunmsg...why will you peep and abandon this thread. Coronaviruspro, these are not Israelites or Jews na. Beerfraud,(with multiple monikers) will you be only fixated on IGBO affairs while the SW is becoming a ghost town?

God will keep Blessing the SE and anybody that sees the onslaught and speaks out. For those who 'shout' free Palestine, who will Free Kwara and SW?

This is just the intro.

Nuff Said.

Two Nigerian nationals, Thinedu Chukwu, 39, and Ikena Obi, 43, have been arrested and charged by the South African Police Service (SAPS) in connection with the kidnapping and subsequent murder of a 49-year-old man in Lydenburg, Mpumalanga.

The arrests follow a rapid investigation into the disappearance of the victim, Gift Combrinck.

Provincial police spokesperson, Sergeant Thulisile Magagula, provided details on the sequence of events:

"A missing person case was opened on 23 September 2025 after Gift Combrinck from Kellysville, Lydenburg, was reported missing."

“Tragically, on 25 September 2025, the body of Mr Combrinck was discovered near De Clerq Street in Lydenburg. Preliminary investigations suggest that the victim was kidnapped, which led to the arrest of the two suspects,” said Magagula.

Both Chukwu and Obi have since been formally charged with kidnapping and murder.

The two accused men appeared before the Mashishing Magistrate’s Court in Mpumalanga.

The case was postponed to October 2, 2025. The purpose of the postponement is for the verification of the suspects' travel documents and to allow the investigating team to conduct further investigation.

Meanwhile, the acting provincial commissioner of the SAPS in Mpumalanga, Major General Zeph Mkhwanazi, has welcomed the arrests and expressed confidence in the police’s ongoing work.

“We trust that justice will prevail and that a thorough investigation will be conducted,” said Mkhwanazi.
