Anything Tinubu touches turns to dust.

It was Tinubu that gave Ambode the order to turn Gokada into Lagos state's unofficial transport system.

To compare Ghana currency with Nigeria naira, you need to add 4 zeros taken from it in early year 2000 (Soludo was Cbn governor then) when their currency become ordinary paper.

Secondly, go to Ghana and buy a loaf of bread and then convert the amount to Naira. You will use it to buy 2 loaves here in Nigeria.

A former executive assistant who killed and dismembered his tech CEO boss in New York City after stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from him has been sentenced for the murder, authorities said.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said in a press release on Tuesday, Sept. 10, that Tyrese Haspil, 25, was sentenced to 40 years to life in state prison for the 2020 murder of 33-year-old Fahim Saleh.

“Today, Tyrese Haspil is facing accountability for brutally murdering and decapitating Fahim Saleh, a kind, generous, and empathetic person who positively impacted the world,” District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg Jr. said.

He added, “Even after the defendant stole from him to fund a lavish lifestyle, Mr. Saleh still gave him a second chance. While today’s sentence won’t bring Mr. Saleh back, I hope it provides his family a sense of closure as they continue to mourn his painful loss.”

Haspil’s sentencing comes a little over two months after he was found guilty by a New York State Supreme Court jury of first-degree murder and second-degree grand larceny among other charges in connection with the case.

On July 13, 2020, prosecutors said Haspil was seen on surveillance video entering Saleh’s apartment building in Lower Manhattan and following him into the elevator, which opened up into Saleh’s apartment. As Saleh got out of the elevator, Haspil tased him in the back and then stabbed him with a knife multiple times in the neck and torso, killing him.

The next day, Hapsil returned to the apartment, where he “dismembered and decapitated Mr. Saleh’s body using the saw and placed the body parts in pre-ordered construction bags,” according to the release.

The grim discovery was made by Saleh’s cousin, who came to check on him since she had not heard from him in 24 hours, prosecutors said. She subsequently called the police.

Haspil, who prosecutors said left the apartment looking for a saw battery charger and did not return after spotting a police presence in the building, was arrested four days later at an Airbnb he had reserved to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday.

According to prosecutors, Haspil’s web history in the days after the murder showed searches for “dismembered body,” “Fahim Saleh,” and “murder of Tech CEO in New York.”

Prosecutors have said Haspil’s motive for killing Saleh was financial. Saleh, who was the founder and CEO of Gokada, a transportation company headquartered in Nigeria, learned that Haspil had stolen thousands of dollars from his financial accounts, which Haspil had access to since he began working as Saleh’s executive assistant in May 2018.

According to the district attorney’s office, Haspil set up a Paypal account and a corporate bank account to funnel Saleh's money. He created bogus statements and used a name that resembled other financial transactions so Saleh would not become aware of the theft, prosecutors said.

"Haspil resigned in May 2019, knowing Mr. Saleh would learn about the embezzlement, yet continued to steal money [and] increasing the amounts," prosecutors said. According to the district attorney’s office, Haspil paid Saleh back with stolen money through the PayPal scheme, but the theft continued, escalating to about $400,000.

In an attempt to hide the theft and prevent Saleh from potentially testifying against him in court, prosecutors said Haspil had plotted to kill Saleh on at least three occasions before carrying out the murder in July 2020.

Following his death, Saleh’s company released a statement, calling his passion for Nigeria and its young people “immeasurable.”

"He believed young Nigerians are extremely bright and talented individuals who would flourish if just given the right opportunity,” the statement read. “Fahim also believed that technology can transform lives and improve safety and efficiency. He built Gokada to act upon these beliefs."

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysian authorities widened on Thursday their investigation into a prominent Islamic business organisation, a day after police rescued more than 400 children suspected of being sexually abused at charity homes run by the group.

The Selangor state Islamic religious department said it was scrutinising the group's religious education facilities and had asked police to hand over any teaching material seized during Wednesday's raids on the homes to determine if any offences were committed under Islamic laws.

Muslim-majority Malaysia runs a dual-track legal system, with Islamic laws running alongside secular ones.

State religious authorities are empowered to enforce laws against "deviant" teachings with the majority of Muslims following Sunni Islam.

Police conducted coordinated raids on 20 premises run by Global Ikhwan Services and Business (GISB) across two Malaysian states on Wednesday, arresting 171 adults, including 'ustazs' or Islamic religious teachers. Those rescued included 201 boys and 201 girls, aged between one and 17.

Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said the raids were in response to reports filed this month alleging neglect, abuse, sexual harassment and molestation at the premises.

Two of the premises raided were registered with the state government as Islamic schools, the Selangor Islamic religious department said in a statement on Thursday.

The department said it had monitored the schools as recently as July but found no offences committed. It said it would investigate further and take appropriate action should any violations be found.

A GISB spokesperson on Thursday said the group will cooperate with authorities.

A 19-year-old girl was charged in court on Thursday with child abuse in connection with the case, state news agency Bernama reported.

Robert Gass, a UNICEF representative in Malaysia, said the organisation was "deeply shocked and appalled" by the alleged abuse and called for long-term professional medical and psychosocial support for the children.

GISB, which has been linked to a banned religious sect in Malaysia, is involved in businesses ranging from supermarkets to laundromats and operates in multiple countries including Indonesia, Singapore, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, France, Australia and Thailand, according to its website.

The group has acknowledged its links to the now-defunct Malaysia-based Al-Arqam religious sect, which was banned by the government in 1994, but now describes itself as an Islamic conglomerate based on Muslim practices.

Tinubu went to China and addressed "Nigerians" (the Nigerian embassy staff and some Awalokan students). The bulk of Nigerians in China would never listen to the gibberish he went to say. I challenge his handlers to pan the video to show the crowd he was speaking to.

Meanwhile, in China, Tinubu gave a reason why he increased fuel price recently. But a mum-must Imam in Jos was telling his brainwashed listeners in the mosque that Tinubu was unaware of the recent fuel price increase and that it was the Christians in Tinubu's government who increased the fuel price to make him lose in 2027.

The Imams are out there telling lies for Tinubu and the pastors are out there blaming God for Tinubu's failures.

Nigeria: What a horror. What a tower of Babbel. What an evil system. It is so painful and shameful to see how the political and religious classes work hand in gloves to deceive Nigerians, and how Nigerians have failed to THINK with their brains. Nigerians are truly suckers and losers

Time to whip up the religious card again.

The good part be say na a northern Imam dey inside the video, so no one fit add tribal colouration to this or?

Joseph is a Prophet of God! God kept him safe from all his enemies! Joseph's destiny is different from yours!

The settings back then is different from now!
Joseph wasn't sent to you or me!

Let's know about Jesus and sexual temptation!

Jesus lived for 33 years, was he celibate all through? How did he make it? Was there any temptation especially when he entered puberty? How did he solve the temptation?

It's not an easy feat to be celibate for 33 years!

chrisxxx:
Tinubu and NNPCL have always told us that Nigerians must pay global price for petrol. No doubt our leaders always subject the masses to poor examples they could pick from anywhere and give excuses to replicate good practices.
Nigeria produces crude oil just as Venezuela, Libya and even Angola. How come these countries get petrol far less cheaper than Nigeria? The global price Heineken, Kyari and Tinubu are harping on does it not affect these countries?
Why should I buy petrol the same price as someone in America who makes an average $200 per day whereas only few privileged Nigerians make that as salary per month?
Our circumstances are not the same. Kyari and co need to shift ground as high blood pressure has become more prevalent than malaria in Nigeria.

Nigerians don't know what merit means.

They want someone that would fill their stomach, and keep their patronage system going.

That's why we have lots of people supporting an unsustainable subsidy, and why many people don't vote for sane leaders.

Eventually, people will wake up, and we would get our MIllei. LIke Argentina did.
