Pastor, wife nabbed in Akwa-Ibom for selling baby for ₦300,000

The General overseer of a Pentecostal church in Akwa Ibom state identified as Pastor John and his wife, Deborah pictured above have been arrested by the Akwa Ibom state police command for allegedly kidnapping a new born baby with the intent of selling him to a child trafficking syndicate  at Nung Ukot Itam, Itu LGA of the state for N300,000.

 

According to Sunnews, the couple would adopt little babies in the guise that they want to raise them and then they would sell the children to their child trafficking syndicate.

Confessing to the crime, Pastor John said “We have the mission to train children  nd suddenly we changed our mind, when my wife and I ventured into selling of a new baby for N200,000.00 or N300,000.00 since we have a syndicate who could sell it for us’’he said.

The police say he will soon be charged to court.

In a related development, the state police have arrested one lady simply identified as Sabbath for selling her 5 day old baby for N90, 000. Sabbath  gave birth to a set of twins and decided to sell one of them, blaming it on poverty.

When interrogated, she said ‘It was poverty that led me into this mess. It is true that I sold one of my twins for N90,000.00 to  Mr Akpanam and Mr Samuel to be able to train the other baby. My husband’s family should forgive me for what I have done, it was poverty that led me into this’ she said.

ATMs located in highbrow areas in Lagos particularly in Victoria Island and Lekki, might have been compromised following reports of hackers planting fraud devices on some machines so as to get the pin codes and other details of the ATM cards of unsuspecting users and use them to carry out fraudulent activities.

(How to Spot and Avoid Credit Card Skimmers- click to read)A banker who spoke with Punch said “A number of the ATMs in Victoria Island and Lekki axis have been compromised by hackers. Some of these fraudsters visit those ATMs very late in the night or very early in the morning to fix some fraud devices on them, which are capable of collecting cardholders’ information, including their passwords. They come back later to remove those devices.

The information collected is then used to commit fraud against those customers later. Most of us (banks) are aware of the development and we are very vigilant now. What some of us have done is to get a patrol team of security men to start combing the affected areas and the ATMs from time to time. We will get those guys soon.” the anonymous banker said

Also confirming the report, the Vice-Chairman, Committee of e-Banking Industry Heads, Mr. Dele Adeyinka said banks have recently installed anti-skimming devices on their ATMs so as to checkmate such illicit activities.

“Yes, it is true that hackers are carrying out those activities. It is not only in Victoria Island axis, they are doing it everywhere. But all the banks have complied with the CBN directive on anti-fraud tools. So, it will be difficult for those fraud devices to work.”he said

While some of the cardholders’ information collected by the fraudsters were being used to commit online-related frauds locally, a large number was used to clone ATM cards and used to shop in malls abroad, especially in the US.

As a way to checkmate the activities of these fraudsters, the Central Bank of Nigeria in January this year issued a directive to all Nigerian banks to  prevent payment cards (debit and credit) issued by them from working in fraud-prone countries, including the US, South Africa and China and that they would be liable for any fraudulent transaction carried out in those countries using a customers cloned ATM card. The CBN in another  circular released on February 1, 2015, instructed all Nigerian banks to stop the payment/ATM cards from working in non-Europay, MasterCard and Visa countries. The circular stated that ATM cards that would work in designated countries must be activated only during the period the customer would be spending outside Nigeria.

The circular which was signed by the Director, Banking and Payment System, CBN, Mr. Dipo Fatokun, reads in part, “The occurrence of card present frauds in non-EMV environments is on the increase, especially when international hybrid cards issued by Nigerian banks are used in non-EMV environments like the USA. It has, therefore, become necessary for the CBN to issue the following directives and that all DMBs should do the following: collate all their card frauds abroad and send to the CBN not later than January 30, 2015; subsequently, all data on card frauds occurring abroad should be rendered on the NIBSS fraud portal; implement anti-fraud solution on their card management systems not later than January 30, 2015; ensure that from February 1, 2015, only customers that expressly indicated the intention of travelling to non-EMV jurisdictions would have their cards default to the magnetic stripe and for the period indicated by the cardholder only.”

Tribalism breaks Toke Makinwa's heart, recounts a personal experience.

See what the media personality posted on IG this morning concerning tribal differences…


‘There is so much to say on this topic, it is heartbreaking but real. Tribalism has been and is still been practiced today. Lagos is home for everyone, our generation knows better too. Let’s not let this come in between us, the OBA’s statement was ignorant but do we really blame him? We all at some point in our lives have been on the receiving end of acts of tribalism. Let’s take out the tension and be real with each-other. Our parents generation practiced tribalism openly and they were not corrected.In some homes befriending people from other tribes was frowned on, marrying from another tribe is still being frowned on today, tribalism even from people of the same tribe is real too. What we need is to educate and not instigate. I had Igbo friends growing up, I was the only Yoruba girl in the midst of Igbo girls. Did they make fun of me? Sometimes but it wasn’t out of malice. We lived, we loved and we are still very close. I have had a friend’s mum tell me “haaa omo ondo ni e? Mi o mo ooo, a kin ba ondo sore” meaning – I’m from Ondo? She didn’t know…. If she had, she won’t let her daughter befriend me cos they don’t like Ondo people, Ondo and Ijebu don’t mix… I was shocked. She went ahead and said “You Ondo people are wicked”.

My friend is from  Ijebu ooooo, we are both Yoruba girls and that statement was made by her mum. We are still friends today and her mum got over it. Please educate people around you. Vote who you want, vote your conscience but please stop with the tribalism comments. Our beauty is in our diversity. It is a distraction, don’t fall for it. Let’s all live as one.’

MOSCOW – A Russian Cabinet of Ministers commission on Monday approved the ratification on an agreement to create a pool of conditional currency reserves for BRICS member states at $100 billion.

Nollywood director Ifeanyi Ikpoenyi reacts to Kunle Afolayan's tweets about the Ibos

You realize when individuals have an opinion about you and just can’t chill for the proper moment to let you to know…:-). Nollywood director Ifeanyi Ikpoenyi aka Mr Hollywood reacts to Kunle Afolayan’s tweets


“I almost ignored Kunle Afolayan’s useless tweets about Igbos being the only Pirates in Nigeria because to me, Kunle is just an over rated Nollywood film maker. He’s not better than Izu Ojukwu, Teco Benson, Obi Emelonye, Chineze Anyaene to mention but a few.

The secret of Kunle is his DOP Yinka Davies who does everything for him and at the end of the day Kunle will just come and announce ‘action’… Give him another local DOP and see if Kunle is worth all the praises his kinsmen showers on him. Kunle should thank Peace Anyiam Osigwe for giving him the platform of AMAA as a pedestal to limelight. Trust me, if Kunle walks the street of Onitsha, Aba, Enugu or any where outside yoruba land, not even one person will recognise him as a celebrity. I will rather worry myself with the Oba’s threat to Ndi igbo than spend one second of my time thinking about Kunle’s senseless tweets about the Igbos.

Houthis Capable of Attacking Saudi Arabia, Hezbollah Leader Says

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said within an interview that the Houthi command hasn’t made a decision regarding potential attacks on Saudi Arabia, which includes been leading international coalition efforts from the rebels in Yemen, although there’s a genuine likelihood of such move.

 

 The Houthi command has not made a decision regarding potential attacks on Saudi Arabia, which has been leading international coalition efforts against the rebels in Yemen, although there is a real possibility of such move, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah told the Syrian News Channel (Al-Ikhbariyah).

“As of now, the leadership in charge of military action in Yemen has not decided whether to cut off the Bab-el-Mandeb straight [which connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden] and launch attacks on targets in Saudi Arabia, despite the fact that they have such capabilities,” Nasrallah said.

According to the leader of the Beirut-based militant group, Saudi Arabia and the coalition are suffering a “catastrophic failure” in their efforts to defeat Houthis through airstrikes as the attacks have turned Yemeni residents against the authorities.An international coalition led by Saudi Arabia has been carrying out airstrikes against the Shiite Houthi rebels since March 26, following a request for military aid from Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi who has left the country amid the hostilities.

The rising death toll from the violence prompted Russia to call for a “humanitarian pause” in fighting.  A UN resolution to this effect is currently being considered by the 15-nation UN Security Council.

Hezbollah, a paramilitary and political organization originating in Lebanon’s Shiite population, was established in the 1980s. The group’s primary goal was military opposition to Israel’s occupation of Lebanon.

Hezbollah has been helping the Syrian government fight ISIL extremists and radical Sunni militants, including al-Nusra Front, a Syrian affiliate of al-Qaeda.

Hezbollah is considered a terrorist organization by many Western governments including Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom and many European states, but not by Russia.

PDP set to rig Ebonyi polls – APC

The Ebonyi State section of the All Progressives Congress has asserted that the Peoples Democratic Party arrangements to apparatus the governorship and House of Assembly races on Saturday.


The Ebonyi APC Chairman, Ben Nwaobasi, said the gathering had gotten reports that outcome sheets of the prospective decisions have been sold to the PDP by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

Nwaobasi made these cases on Monday while addressing writers in Abakaliki, the state capital. He, in this manner, approached security operators to explore the matter, including that it was equipped for creating emergency in the elections.

 

“We can’t allow a repeat of the National Assembly elections in the state and we are calling on security agents to prepare for the challenge ahead.

“We heard that people have bought the results sheets for the next elections and we are watching them. We have alerted the whole world on this,” he said.

Speaking on the preparedness of the party for the governorship and state assembly elections, Nwaobasi said the APC was poised to win the polls.

He said,

“Nobody should be given preferential treatment and we are calling on INEC not to be funny anymore. We cannot accept what happened in the National Assembly elections again; if it re-occurs we will fight it to the end.”

 

Ambode: Outrage over Oba Rilwan Akiolu’s death threat against Igbo

Various organisations in the country have expressed outrage over the threat by Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, against Igbo if they fail to vote for the Lagos State All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, in Saturday’s election.

The monarch reportedly told Igbo leaders in Lagos on Saturday that he would “make life unbearable” for the Igbos in Lagos if they frustrate efforts to ensure that Am¬bode emerges as the next governor of the state.  Oba Akiolu was quoted as saying, “On Saturday, if anyone of you goes against Ambode, whom I picked, that is your end. If it does not happen within seven days, just know that I am a bastard and it is not my father who gave birth to me.

“By the grace of God, I am the owner of Lagos for the time being. On Saturday, if anyone of you, I swear in the name of God, goes against my wish that Ambode will be the next governor of Lagos State, the person is going to die in¬side this water.”

Among those that have called out the monarch are the Catholic Caritas Foundation of Nigeria and the youth wing of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo. While the CCFN asked Oba Akiolu to revert his “curse” on the Igbos, the Ohanaeze youths gave the monarch 48 hours to withdraw his threat and apologise for his outburst against the Igbos. CCFN, an organ of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria, in a statement by its Executive Secretary, Rev. Fr. Evaristus Bassey, on Monday in Abuja said Akiolu was  “missing the point that Nigeria is a Republic and a democracy and not a monarchy.”

He said,
“We humbly call on the Oba himself to withdraw his curse and rather appeal to the people, for indeed, such a threat may amount to playing God and God, who is a merciful father, will not allow his children to die so senselessly just because they are fulfilling the dictates of their conscience.”

Video: Watch  him:

According to him, the fact that APC is the government at the centre is a strong factor to employ and appeal to people to vote for its candidate “rather than invoking ancestral powers for destruction.”

Bassey added,
“Why is it that in Africa we usually invoke our powers for destruction and not for building-up? Why single out a particular ethnic group for this curse? Does it mean a Yoruba or Hausa person, living in Lagos. who votes for Jimi Agbaje will go scot-free, while any Igbo, who votes for Agbaje, will drown in the Lagoon?

“Does it mean that people should vote out of fear and not their consciences? Would such an election be free and fair, where people have to vote out of intimidation?

Does not the threat of the Oba Akiolu amount to voter intimidation?”

The Ohanaeze youth wing said it considered the comments credited to the monarch as “a despicable insult on the Igbo nation home and abroad, least expected of a royal father in the rank of Oba of Lagos.”

In a statement in Umuahia on Monday, the National President of Ohanaeze Youth Council, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said, “Igbo youths will not take this insult lightly, and unless he apologises within 48 hours, he should know he is courting our wrath.

“Nobody, no matter what he thinks he is, has the right to command Ndigbo anywhere on who to vote for in a democratic setting.”

He said the “unprintable comments”, credited to the Oba, had only revealed his innate hatred against “Ndigbo, whom God has destined to prosper in any part of the world even in hostile environments.” He, called on security agencies to immediately invite the monarch for questioning over his remarks “which portend grave security implications.”
