The operatives of the Rapid Response Squad of the Lagos State Police Command have busted a group of money scammers in Idi-Araba. The suspect, Dare Yusuf, 31-year-old who resides at 1, Abayomi Jones, Oke-Ilube Ikotun Lagos, was arrested after tricking a road user into buying a substance claimed to double any cash by applying one ‘Adija’ to the money given. The suspect in connivance with two other suspects (still at large) who specialize in defrauding innocent Lagosians of their hard earned money tricked a road user who does not want his name on print around Ilasa in Isolo area of Lagos State. The trio namely Seun, Ayo and Dare are suspected serial scammers who dupe unsuspecting members of the public using different tricks to rip them off their valuables and immediately desert the scene without a trace. Dare, while speaking with RRS Decoy team, confessed the role each member of the group plays, their intrigues and how they share the loot afterwards. Ayo is the ‘Catcher’, Seun is the ‘Jejeti’ while he Dare is the ‘Sitter’. He disclosed that, the Catcher is the one who roams streets in Lagos for the victim. The Catcher approaches road users to inquest about a location he is going to and systematically tells the road user he didn’t get the description of the place and it’s important for him to get to the place because he is going there to sell one ‘Adija’ worth between N800,000 to N1m.” After the catcher has chatted-up the would-be victim and has disclosed his purpose to sell the 'Adija', he asks to be directed to the location. This is the point the ‘Jejeti’ comes into their discussion showing more knowledge of directing the Catcher to where he claims to be going, but not for free as he will further tell the Catcher to settle him and the stranger. The Catcher then requests for the would-be victim to accompany him to the point of sale of the ‘Adija’ and promises to give him and the ‘Jejeti’ a sum N200,000 each for helping him to the location. Unfortunately for the stranger, he is the victim here. Both the Catcher and the Jejeti are working together to defraud whoever falls into their trap. The Jejeti then takes both the stranger and the catcher to a customized office in Idi-Araba where the other team player who is the ‘Sitter’ has been planted to complement the fraudulent efforts of his teammates. Dare who is the ‘Sitter’ then collects the Adija from Ayo who has been playing the role of the Catcher and tells him he will buy it for N900,000 and that the Adija will help produce about N2m if he can get some chemical to add to it. Meanwhile, the stranger is also there watching the drama as the trio try to convince him into buying into the idea of making fast money. They tell the would-be victim to get some money after the scammers have tried to wash some money in a bucket of water after pouring the Adija liquid and brought out a piece of N1,000 note from it. There was the case of a victim who was cornered at Ikate Surulere in Isolo area of Lagos sometime in August 2017 and was tricked into money doubling, over which they collected N46,000, his two phones, one iPhone 6 and Techno W6 to be converted to cash for the purpose of making more money. When asked how many victims the group trick every day and when they have been into the shady act, Dare said; he has been into the business for years just to survive with his family and that the least they do per day is one victim to avoid police arrest and at the same time change location for the next day. Recovered from the suspect is the Techno W6 while investigations are still on to recover the iPhone 6 which he confessed to have been sold to get cash. The suspect has been transferred to the Police State CID for further investigations. Commenting on the development, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Olarinde Famous Cole, advise members of the public to be more vigilant and report any suspicious act to the police. https://www.lailasblog.com/idi-araba-serial-scammer-lands-rrs-net-photos/ Lalasticlala

Tell him we celebrate him today. Tell him even in his absence, he beat everyone in the University of Uyo to emerge as Best Graduating Student 2014/2015 Academic Year with First Class Honours. Tell him that Mohammed Indimi, the Executive Chairman/CEO of Oriental Energy Resources, that company that bought over that our beloved Afren PLC where we always wanted to work with, was at the convocation Arena today and he could have shaken hands with him today. But that's ok, HE would rather shake hands with Angels over there. Tell him the University awards him a prize of N30,000 for being the Best Graduating Student and the Faculty of Engineering awards him N10,000 also. But he is bigger than that now. Please don't let him know that we are hurt by his absence, instead, please send us comfort, because in times like this, it hurts so bad.

Our favourite Zaddy, Richard Mofe-Damijo a.k.a RMD's daughter just turned 15 and the proud dad who made a decision few months ago to keep his family off social media, took to Instagram to celebrate, while also hinting that he did it because he had something to say. Here's what he wrote; "Several months ago I made a decision to keep my family off my social media accounts but today as my little girl turns 15, I am compelled to say something. I'm not exactly certain why but perhaps it's because every father nurses some level of uncertainty about their little girl growing up. It doesn't matter where, Nigeria or the US, the fears are there. The fears are doubled today because of the exposure to the internet which is fraught with all kinds of dangerous notions, warped narratives and risky things, but you are my girl, who above all knows and fears God. My fears are calmed by the fact that you have been instilled with values that are not of the world but of the word (of God), which is why I know you will grow into a fine woman who will be a light and beacon to and for your generation. I believe God that you'll continue to grow in wisdom and in grace and that the light of God's word will always guide you to make the right choices. Make yourself and everyone that loves you proud baby. Daddy is rooting for you, so go on my sweet cakes and enjoy your day and never forget that daddy loves you silly as always. Happy Birthday baby." https://www.lailasblog.com/made-decision-keep-family-off-social-media-girl-just-turned-15-rmd-celebrates-daughter/

Nigeria's former ambassador to Ghana and a former Minister in President Jonathan's government, Sen. Musiliu Obanikoro, in an interview with Global Excellence, narrated his ordeal in the hands of EFCC . The former Senator who decamped APC from PDP when he came under fire following EFCC's allegation/investigation against him, said; 'That matter is better left untouched. I will tell you why. For me, it is just politics. Every one of us, APC, PDP, we are all guilty of using government money for elections. That is it. If we want to clean the system, let us clean it at once so that nobody uses government money again for elections. I did not benefit a kobo from the money. We were given money and we gave each state their due, we gave Governor Fayose, we gave others too. So, it’s not as if any money came to me. But people would rather play politics with everything than speak the truth of the matter. As I have said, few months ago, they passed the law that compels all political parties to advertise their donors. That is how you can clean up the system. If we say, okay we are the one in government, it is okay for us to use government money and it’s not okay for those who are not in government to do so, the system is not going to benefit anyone at the end of the day'. He was asked about the money he said he gave Governor Fayose and the Governor's denial. Obanikoro said, 'well, the system knows the truth. I don’t even want to join issues with him because we only got to know each other only when he became governor. But the authorities know what happened to the money, and they are pursuing it. That’s all I have to say'. https://www.lailasblog.com/guilty-using-government-money-elections-senator-musiliu-obanikoro/ Lalasticlala

Tonto Dikeh has shown the side she's on, following Instagram big boy Hushpuppi's banter with an ex-friend Mompha. Recall that there's been defense and anti-defense posts against him. In a post Instagram user and blogger @Cutie_Juls made defending Hushpuppi, we couldn't help but notice how Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh, who unfollowed and refollowed the 'gucci' master, stood up for him. The post reads; "After deliberating on everything that happened, I can confidently say without fear that Mompha was never Hushpuppi's friend. Hush mistakenly thought he had a friend and a brother in Mompha but Mompha never saw him as one. Nigga was still dining and snap chatting with Hush but there he was speaking ill of him to his wife via text messages as he himself posted online. Men usually do not do this. When their friends move in with you, they will say anything to cover up for them. . For Mompha to even go and look for "Hush's daddy's cab" to snap a picture of it and use it to shame him means he is really petty and a bitter person. They both called out each other on social media but Mompha's level of "bitchness" beats my imagination. . Boi, nigga be posting his family house and all to prove he is the son of Bill Gate.. boi! . But who am I to give my opinions on billionaires fight? Oya lemme kukuma go and chop some sleep. . Lessons learnt-: 1- Becareful whom you let into your life as a friend. Some people only come into your life because they envy you and the only way to bring you down is to get close, know your flaws and use it against you. . 2- To @hushpuppi [hopefully you get to see this].. Never accept this Mompha back into your life. He has never been a friend to you. A friend who will even keep traces of things you told him in confidence and use it against you when you have issues, has been a traitor from day one. Run from such people. . @mompha [hopefully you get to read this].. send your bank details via dm, comments, email, text or whatsapp and let me credit your account with the $5k that you claim your friend owes you. Billionaire sons don't spend so much time, energy and data on $5k debt so I have decided to save the situation... boi! Both of you should stay away from each other. That friendship isn't healthy. #cutiesthoughts" https://www.lailasblog.com/tonto-dikeh-defends-hushpuppi/ Lalasticlala

Three of the saints were children in 16th-century Mexico who were martyred for embracing the Catholic faith and refusing to return to their ancient conditions. 30 who were also proclaimed Saints on Sunday are martyrs, including priests and lay people, who suffered anti-Catholic persecution in 1645 at the hands of Dutch Calvinists in Brazil. The remaining two saints were a priest in Spain in the last century and an Italian priest who died in 1739. https://www.lailasblog.com/pope-francis-proclaims-35-new-saints-including-33-martyrs/ Lalasticlala

Beautiful Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, in an exclusive interview with Punch revealed that though she never wanted to remarry, however because of the stress involved but now, she has had a change of heart. The actress also disclosed the condition that will make her remarry; which is the person wouldn't be poor. If marriage comes along, yes I will consider it. Then, I used to say that I didn’t want to get married again because of the stress involved. Now, I have had a rethink. But I can’t marry a poor man. Some people will say I shouldn’t say that, but I am a blunt person. For someone like me, there is no love without money. I am a celebrity and I am expected to maintain a certain lifestyle, which is expensive The actress who disclosed she is a breadwinner, further said the man doesn’t have to be very rich but he should be able to at least feed them. I have a lot of responsibilities. As a breadwinner and celebrity, how do you expect me to marry a poor man? Where do you expect us to start from? I am not ready to add any man’s problems to mine. I don’t need the man to be very rich, but he must be able to feed himself and me. You don’t even have to cater for my other responsibilities. Iyabo Ojo further said she doesn't want to be with a man who will be intimidated by her success, as she wants to be with someone who is more successful than she is. The kind of man I want in my life has to be more successful than me. When I bought my personal assistant a car, people said I didn’t want her to marry. I told them that I don’t expect her to marry someone who does not have a car as well. You say what you want out of life; we shouldn’t deceive ourselves. It is a choice to die in poverty and I have chosen not to die in poverty. I cannot flow with someone who wants to die in poverty. https://www.lailasblog.com/kind-man-want-life-successful-iyabo-ojo/ Lalasticlala

A viral report on Twitter, claims that Rwandan President, Paul Kagame, reportedly arrested a mother and her daughters, over daughter's plan to run for Presidency. It was gathered that the Rwandan authorities arrested Diane Shima Rwigara and charged her with “offenses against state security and forgery.” (She was already detained once before at the beginning of the month, though under different charges.) It’s clear to everyone, however, that her real crime was her attempt to run against incumbent Paul Kagame in the presidential election last month. Her mother and sister were also detained on similar charges. The three of them are expected to face trial in October. If Diane Rwigara is convicted on the state security charges, she’ll be facing a minimum of 20 years in prison. Washington Post reports that Challenging the all-powerful Kagame would have already been enough to get the 35-year-old Rwigara in trouble. But she was especially bold about it. She chose to announce her protest movement the same day Kagame officially kicked off his campaign. Then she upped the ante by also demanding justice for the killers of her father, the businessman Assinapol Rwigara. He died in 2015 under what his family and many Rwandans consider suspicious circumstances, after years of tense relations with Kagame. Here's the Tweet and some reactions to it; https://www.lailasblog.com/rwandan-president-paul-kagama-reportedly-arrests-mother-daughters-plan-run-presidency/ Lalasticlala
