Crime › Wicked: How I Killed My Friend Because I Saw N13million In His Bank Acct Balance by opeldavid(op): 11:01am On Jul 19, 2020
Wonders they say shall never end. It was a case of two best friends working in a factory in Edo state.

Both of them had been a long time close friends sharing things together and disclosing information between each other, because of the trust they have built between each other over the years, that was how Abuchi Wisdom Nwachukwu was beheaded by his friend Moses after he informed the latter of the sum of money his elder brother had transferred into his account to the tune of N13 million in his account balance.

Nwachukwu who is a native of Isiala-Mbano, Imo state was allegedly hacked to death by Moses on January 7 2020 during a night shift in a pure water factory in Auchi, Edo state by his friend, and took hold of his ATM card and phone.

Not only did Moses killed his friend, he went ahead to behead him and dump the headless body in a near by bush close to the factory.

After getting rid of Nwachukwu, Moses went ahead to connive with internet fraudsters who assisted him with the ATM to liquidate Nwachukwu’s account with the sum of N2.2 million. And later started using POS machine to effect transfers other transfers.

Trouble started for Moses when Nwachukwu’s elder brother in South Africa wrote to the IGP notifying him of his brother’s sudden disappearance and whereabouts, and the Police quickly swung into action. It was gathered that few weeks into the investigation, the Police was able to trace some transactions from Nwachukwu’s account to Moses account and the latter was later traced to an hotel in Auchi where he has been hiding and was arrested.

Upon his arrest, Moses confessed to have killed his friend Nwachukwu and also led the Police team to some suspected internet fraudsters Yusuf Sagiru, Tony Bright, and Terrence Okochukwu including a businessman Jahswill Ogbonanya who assisted him in defrauding his late friend.

Upon continuous interrogation, Moses a 27 year old native of Auch admitted that his friend’s ghost has been chasing and hunting him ever since he killed him.

Reflections and lessons to be learnt:

Never trust anyone.
Never disclose your bank details to anyone or a third party.
Be careful of friends you keep around and information you disclose.
Be prayerful.
No one’s life is worth taking because of money and greed.

Politics › Hushpuppi:pdp Lambasts Apc,says Call For Probe Irresponsible, Reckless by opeldavid(op): 12:56pm On Jul 06, 2020
Following the recent call by the ruling party, APC to probe some prominent members of the People Democratic Party, PDP, the party has fired back at the APC calling its comment for probe as irresponsible and reckless and demands an apology.

Those so far named in connection with the hushpuppi saga are the former vice president Atiku Abubakar, former Senate president Bukola Saraki, former speaker, house of representatives, Dogara, Senator Dino Melaye, amongst others and linking them to 2019 general election planned rigging.

It would be recalled that during the build up to the 2019 general election, some members of the PDP always converge in Dubai to hold its meeting and to strategise and probably had cause to take a photograph with some Nigerians outside the shores on one occasion or the other, including Hushpuppi who was arrested in Dubai and extradited to the United states,but the PDP had since distanced itself from any of such allegations and criticized the APC led government and the EFCC for doing nothing while the said Hushpuppi was flaunting his wealth, but rather looked the other way till the FBI and Dubai police came after him.
Some members of the PDP including Atiku Abubakar had threatened legal action against the APC and also called for the probe of over 300 billion naira missing fund by government officials, and also advice that the government should concentrate on delivering the dividends of democracy which is lacking with the poor state of infrastructure, massive unemployment and finding solutions to the corona virus pandemic which is fast killing a large number of Nigerians and accused the ruling party of chasing shadows and entering panic mood for fear of imminent loss that awaits it in the forthcoming Edo and Ondo elections.
