Here is the body of a man murdered and dumped inside a gutter close to Nkwelle Community, Oyi LGA in Anambra State. It seems he was murdered elsewhere and dumped inside the gutter. The blood that was dripping from his head was still fresh as at the time his body was discovered. His legs were tied with ropes.

The video is very graphic and YouTube may not allow that but I have posted the Facebook link to the video below so you can watch it.

Justice Dehinde I. Dipeolu of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos,on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, convicted and sentenced one Ikpaka Courage to two years imprisonment for presenting himself as Chinedu Okoli, also known as Flavour, a Nigerian singer, to dupe a United States of America citizen, Mrs. Yvelte M. Thompson, of the sum of $53,000.

Courage, a graduate of Philosophy, was arraigned on Tuesday by the Lagos Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on a two-count charge bordering on cybercrimes and money laundering.

Count one reads: “That you, Ikpaka Courage, sometime in April, 2021 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court, directly made a false statement, wherein you held yourself out as a Nigerian entertainer by name

"Chinedu Okoli a.k.a. Flavour N'abania" on your Telegram account, knowing the same to be false and with intent that the representation is relied upon for the purpose of procuring the issuance of financial instrument to yourself and thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 22(3) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention etc) Act 2015.”

Count two reads: “That you, Ikpaka Courage, sometime in April, 2021 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court, indirectly retained the sum of $53,000 (Fifty-three Thousand USD) in your Access Bank Plc account number 0108866415, which sum you reasonably ought to have known forms part of the proceeds of your unlawful activity to wit: dishonest conversion of the said sum, property of Mrs. Yvette M. Thompson and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 18(2)(d) and punishable under section 18( 3) of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act,2022.”

He pleaded "guilty" to the charges when they were read to him.

Following his guilty plea, the prosecution counsel, S.I Suleiman, presented a witness, Azibagiri Dan Ekpar, an operative of the EFCC, to review the facts of the case.

The defendant, Ekpar said, was arrested in Lagos on June 10, 2024.

He added: “Upon his arrest by operatives of the Lagos Directorate, he volunteered his statement.

“In his statement, he confessed to have been involved in a dating scam, and that he used his platform to impersonate Chinedu Okoli a.k.a. Flavour N'abania.

“He also confessed to having obtained the sum of $53,000( Fifty-three Thousand United States Dollar) from one Mrs. Yvette M. Thompson under the pretence that he would perform on her birthday in Washington DC in July 2021.

“The money was transferred through a Bitcoin wallet he created in order to receive the proceeds of crime.”

In his further review of the facts, Ekpar said: “He also admitted to have forged the Nigerian international passport data page of

Mr Chinedu Okoli a.k.a. Flavour N'abania and also created a fictitious email address, which he used to communicate with the victim.

“He had restituted the sum of N7, 900,000 (Seven Million, Nine Hundred Thousand Naira) by raising a managers’ Cheque.”

Suleiman, thereafter, applied to tender, in evidence, the defendant’s extra-judicial statement, and bank’s statement, printout of chats between him and the victim as well as the Bitcoin wallet statement from Binance.

Justice Dipeolu admitted them as exhibits.

Counsel to the convict, Bayo A. Phillip, prayed the court to “temper justice with mercy”, adding that “he is a first-time offender and he did not waste the time of the court.

“My Lord, he did not channel the proceeds of his offence into living lavishly; rather, he used it to further his education and is now a graduate of Philosophy.”

Consequently, Justice Dipeolu convicted and sentenced the defendant to one year imprisonment on count one, with an option of fine of N1,000,000 ( One Million Naira).

He was also convicted and sentenced to one year imprisonment on count two, with an option of fine of N1,000,000( One Million Naira).

The Judge ordered that the money be forfeited to the petitioner and also remanded the convict in the EFCC custody pending the fulfillment of the order within 21 days.

Courage's journey to the Correctional Centre began when he was arrested by operatives of the Lagos Directorate of the EFCC for internet fraud. He was charged to court and convicted.

Some time ago, a Nigerian woman got huge donations from members of the public for cooking and taking care of her husband, because she didn't want the husband to eat from his female colleague. Mind you, she cooked for her own husband, not for orphans or homeless people. Imagine Nigerians donating to a woman who cooked for her husband!!! These same Nigerians will never drop a kobo to encourage a young talented citizen who has invented something useful.



God Bless You !

The smallest cat on record was a male blue point Himalayan-Persian, named Tinker Toy that measured only 7 cm (2.75 in) tall and 19 cm (7.5 in) long when full grown (aged 2.5 years). The unusually tiny feline was owned by Katrina and Scott Forbes (USA) of Taylorville, Illinois, USA.

Tinker Toy was born on 25 December 1990 (the runt of six kittens) and died in November 1997 at the age of six.
