The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has debunked claims of Dubai-based Nigerian man, Ismaila Mustapha popularly known as Mompha bribing his way out of its custody.
Mompha was arrested in October by the anti-graft agency on charges of money laundering and internet fraud.
Reacting to the development, a Twitter user @azeezsoneye99 asked the EFCC about Mompha’s whereabout.
He wrote ;
“Where are we on Mompha’s case? I @segalink @channelstv Why did @officialEFCC delete all posts relating to Mompha’s arrest. A random online post reveals that he’s settling (bribing) his way out. Clear the air in this pls @officialEFCC God bless Naija.”
EFCC in their response, stated that Mompha is still being remanded on court orders and will soon be arraigned.
“This information about Mompha “bribing” his way out is false and MUST be disregarded.
“Ismaila Mustapha A.K.A. Mompha is still being remanded on court orders and will soon be arraigned. #SayNoToCorruption #BeAccountable” EFCC tweeted.

Sharing a video that talks about one seeing the other as a threat, Tacha wrote;
“Truly you cannot figure out what is not meant to be figured out!
“You’re welcome to see me as a threat. I mean, every strong and GREAT woman first goes through a phase like this!

The Christian Association of Nigeria CAN has asked parents to warn their children against inviting rapists through their dressing.
Reverend Israel Akanji, Chairman of CAN (North Central Zone), gave the warning when he spoke at a summit with the theme: “Elimination of violence against women and children”, organised by the Women’s Wing of Christian Council of Nigeria, today November 19th.
Rev. Akanji’s statement is coming in the wake of the rape case between Biodun Fatoyinbo and his accuser, Busola Dakolo.
Akanji while speaking to the women, said
“When people wear mini dresses, sometimes they even wear it to church we must speak against it in churches. Some of us try not to talk about it because we feel if we talk to them, they may not return to our churches. The church has to come up with tough measures against indecent dressing; indecent dressing must not be accepted in the church of Christ. Even the Bible teaches that people must dress decently to be in the House of the Lord.
The Bible says thou shall not steal, kill and commit adultery. These are considered to be grievous sins in the Bible, but people who rape, should be considered as very serious criminals. The problem we have in Nigeria is anonymity, people don’t want to talk when raped, parents don’t want their children to say it because they feel it will bring a bad name to their family and that is why it has continued.
If rape cases are reported in good time and adequate measures are taken, a lot of things will change.
I want to appeal to parents that while we are waiting for a law that will deal with rapists (I know that laws exist right now), parents must warn their children. Some children dress in such a way that they appear as if they are inviting rapists to their lives. They are almost naked, they expose body parts that some people cannot control themselves. Let us return to the culture of decent dressing, it may not stop but it will minimize it.”
The video sparked an outrage online with many Nigerians calling for the expulsion of the students from the school.
In an interview with Sahara Reporters, the victim, Boluwatife Adekunle, said she was assaulted by her colleagues for revealing how one of their boyfriends tried to have an affair with her.
In her words
“The whole issue started few weeks ago. I and one of the ladies in the video called ‘Faith’ were roommates in a hostel outside campus. Her boyfriend began asking me out but I felt it was not proper for me to date him. I rejected his advances. But instead of him to leave me alone, the guy kept disturbing me, so I had to report him to Faith because I don’t want trouble. Before then, I had been having some issues with Faith as she had been living a wayward life on campus which I didn’t like.
“From that point, she started seeing me as talking bad about her to people around our area. During this period, her boyfriend kept pestering me to date him but I refused. Instead of Faith to caution her boyfriend, she accused me of planning to sleep with her man. On the day that I was assaulted, she invited me to a room in one of the hostels and boyfriend and other ladies were inside the place already.
“Immediately I entered the place, they locked the door and asked me to kneel down while the guy was asking if he ever asked me for a date. Since I refused to kneel down, they began to beat me and also tried to strip me naked. They used a stick to hit me on my head and punched me on my face. The guy used horse whip to flog me several times.
“They said they would make sure they disgraced me on campus, I pleaded with them but they refused and I was about to faint when they stopped beating me. As I speak, I feel pains all over my body due to the beatings. Their plan was to kill me. I want them arrested and face the consequences of their action.”
Boluwatife’s mother, Mrs Florence Adekunle, says all she wants is justice for her daughter
“I was in the church on Sunday when her brother called me that they saw Boluwatife in a video and she was beaten up. I can’t imagine how friends would treat a fellow student like this. I’m aware that the school authority and even the police have taken up the matter, all the same we want justice.”
Spokesperson for the institution, Adegbenro Adebanjo, said the indicted students have been suspended. He gave the names of the suspended students as Popoola Olaniyi Agboola (300L), Oluwadare Faith Tobiloba (200L), Nandi Yohanna Jessica (200L), Ajuwon Tolani Emmanuella (100L), Emmanuel Funmilayo Taiwo (100L) and Alao Olabimpe Cecilia (100L).
“As a consequence of their suspension, they are precluded from all academic and related activities indefinitely and barred from the university and its precincts forthwith. At the conclusion of ongoing investigations, the law of the university as contained in the handbook and oath of matriculation which all students are made to sign and subscribe to, will be visited on those found culpable” Adebanjo said
Commenting on the incident, the Ondo State Commissioner of Police, Adie Undie, said the police is currently investigating the incident.

I set up a news conference that was seen all over the world and Ayo spoke to major media outlets. I made a promise to support the little girl for a year with 10k a month and pay her school fees in 2019. She had never been to school. I’ve done my part. Today I sent N50,000 to the little girl as a birthday gift. I left Ibadan finally in June 2019 and haven’t seen her since May 2019. David Adeleke has refused to do a DNA test for 6 years. Good luck to everyone. Happy Birthday, Anu.”
EFCC has given shocking details of how convicted internet fraudster, Hope Olusegun Aroke aka HMoney, continued to carry out his illicit trade right inside the maximum prison Lagos where he was carrying out his 24-years sentence.
In a statement released today November 19th, EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwajuren, said Aroke left the prison severally to meet with his wife and two children, as well as attend parties in the state. Read the statement below;
“He allegedly pulled the heist right from prison using a network of accomplices, some of them targets of fraud and money laundering investigation.
The lid on his latest fraud exploits from the bowels of the Maximum Correctional Centre was blown following intelligence received by the EFCC. The immediate riddle that confronted the EFCC was how it was possible for the convict to continue to ply his ignoble trade of Internet fraud from prison.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the convict, against established standard practice, had access to internet and mobile phone in the Correctional Centre where he is supposed to be serving his jail term. Even more puzzling was the finding that Aroke got himself admitted to the Nigeria Police Hospital, Falomo, Lagos for an undisclosed ailment. And from the hospital, he would move out to lodge in hotels, meet with his wife and two children and attend other social functions.
The circumstance of his admission into the hospital and those who aided his movement from the hospital to hotels and other social engagements is already being investigated by the EFCC. For a felon supposedly serving a jail term, investigation revealed that the Aroke used a fictitious name, Akinwunmi Sorinmade, to open two accounts with First Bank Plc and Guaranty Trust Bank Plc.
He also bought a property at Fountain Spring Estate, in Lekki, Lagos in 2018 for N22million and a Lexus RX 350 2018 model registered in his wife’s name, Maria Jennifer Aroke. The convict was also in possession of his wife’s bank account token in prison, which he used to freely transfer funds.
Further investigation revealed that, while his trial was ongoing in 2015, Aroke bought a four bedroom duplex at Plot 12, Deji Fadoju Street, Megamounds Estate, from Lekki County Homes, Lekki for N48million. Aroje was one of the two Malaysia-based Nigerian undergraduate fraudsters arrested by the EFCC in the closing weeks of 2012 at the 1004 Housing Estate, Victoria Island, Lagos following a tip-off.
The indigene of Okene, Kogi state had claimed to be a student of Computer Science at the Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan University, Malaysia. “But the Commission’s investigation fingered him as the arrow head of an intricate web of internet fraud scheme that traversed two continents.
When Aroke was arrested, a search conducted by EFCC operatives on his apartment led to the recovery of several items such as laptops, iPad, travelling documents, cheque books, flash drives, internet modem, and three exotic cars – a Mercedes Benz Jeep, One 4Matic Mercedes Benz Car and a Range Rover Sport SUV.
He was eventually convicted by Justice Lateefa Okunnu of a Lagos State High Court on two counts of obtaining money by false pretence, cheque cloning, wire transfer and forgery.
He was sentenced to twelve years imprisonment on each of the two counts”.

Former member of ‘Plantashun Boi’, Blackface, has finally taken his former friend, Innocent Idibia to court for allegedly stealing his song.
The singer revealed that he waited this long before filing a complaint in court because he was waiting for 2Face to do what’s right.
He wrote on Instagram:
”I sincerely want to apologize to close friends, relatives, well wishers who may have been affected by my actions or inactions over the years. I have always stood for a better Nigeria,equal rights and an agitator for a system in place in our country so adequate compensation be given to not only Nigerian songwriters but song writers and creators all over the world ,an industry where all players in the creative process are recognized and credited for their contribution to any piece of work used commercially or otherwise.
I will never be intimidated by any threat My intention has never been to expose anybody but the truth finds it’s way out eventually. My issues with Mr Innocent Idibia aka 2face & co are purely professional and my lawyers have filed my claims in Court, to be served to all parties in due time. I apologize for the delay in taking this step, i was hoping they would do the right thing and the need for me to take them to court will not arise but alas I was wrong.
I believe the legal system will resolve this eventually. I will also continue to defend myself in the 50Million suit they filled against me which comes up for mediation on the 25th of November 2019.
Meanwhile, I will not make any further statements on this issue until both lawsuits are concluded as I have entrusted this matter to my lawyers and the justice system. I appreciate all the good wishes from those who have reached out with their concerns over this protracted matter. Please bear with me as we calmly await the resolution of these cases.
Thank You All Mr Ahmedu Augustine (BlackFaceNaija)”

It’s just another day in my heart.
It will be ten years,
It will be a hundred years,
It will be forever and a day.
It will be forever and I may,
I may want to talk to you,
I may want to find you,
I may want to hold you.
I may want no one but you, And I know,
And I know, I can see you: near ?
And I know, I can feel you here !
And I know, I can hear you breathe.
And I know, I can rest, days and nights last.
Days and nights last like one single season,
Days and nights last for no reason,
Round and round for whatever reason,
Beautiful circles of wait.
Beautiful quest that I can never waste.
You showed me things I couldn’t see
You showed me things I still can’t see
You showed the one we cannot see.
You died and I was born.
A second life. This one? It’s gone.
It’s gone, I want to say sorry.
It’s gone. I want to repent dearly.
It’s gone ! I want to rewrite the whole story.
I want to take us back to the end,
I want to back us till the end,
I want anything but not for you to end.
It does not make sense
It cannot make sense
Has it ever made sense?
Your love is better than love
Your touch is better than love
You brought God to me
You brought God for me
You talk about God to me
You bring about God for me
Your love for me, your acts make God have His way into me
Tenses don’t matter.
Words, cries and shouts don’t matter
My heart speaks louder than any of the above
My heart speaks all of the above
My heart can never tell all of the above
My heart is full, fuller, fullest. And above,
All and lust and fun
All and least and fast
All it last and all is gone
All is lost and all is found
I was lost and now I’m found
Silly touches of green
Your favourite colour
Silly touches of white
Your favourite colour
Silly touches of green
I see you, I see the light
Now I know what real love is
I finally know what real love is
I’ve never seen a beauty like this
Beautiful creature of God,
In the scriptures, in the Word
You gave the key to the whole wide world
It’s been a year
It’s been forever
Will it end? Never.
It’s just another day in my heart.
It’s just another day, and it’s hard.
Forgive me when I pour
Forgive me when it sparks
Forgive me when it’s sour
Forgive me when it’s dark
I meet you behind the door.
This is how I see you.
This is how I’m with You.
This is how I paint you in my dreams.
Your love is my realm.
This pain is just a lie.
I write for You, and you never die.
Nigerian Actress and singer, Ashionye Michelle Raccah admonished Nigerians to stop finding faults in homosexuality.
Ashionye says that has homosexuality is not a disease, hence the need for Nigerians to end discrimination against homosexuals.
Ashionye said this to QedTV at the premiere of Funmi Iyanda’s movie, Walking with Shadows. Speaking at the premiere of the movie which is about a married man whose wife later found out he was gay, Ashionye said people need to realize that a person is not made to be gay but is born gay.
“It’s high time we began to accept every human being irrespective of their sexuality. I’m a human being whether I am straight or gay. It’s high time we began to realise that we are basically just one and we shouldn’t judge. I know we have this 14 year sentencing in Nigeria but then again you can’t change a person whoever he or she is.
“Some people say being gay is made, you become gay. I don’t believe that. I believe someone who is gay is born that way, that’s who the person is, and it is not a disease. It is not something to be afraid of. It is not something to judge” she said.
Asked if she will accept her child if he or she grows up to be gay, Ashionye responded
If you are born straight, that’s who you are. If I am born lesbian, that’s who I am. I did not become lesbian. Like I said, it’s not a disease. I have people close to me, family and close friends, who are actually homosexual men and queer women and I absolutely love them. To be honest, I have a lot of male friends who are actually homosexuals and they give the best advice. They love me for who I am and I absolutely love them for who they are”.
When asked if she supports the repeal of the 14 year jail penalty for any homosexual caught in the act, she said
”Yes! Why should we judge people for who they are. Why should we crucify people for who they are. Like I said, it’s not a disease. It is not a crime. If a man or woman is being judged for being queer or being gay, then why am I not being judged for being straight?
A man who decided to get creative with his engagement plan by popping the ‘will you marry me’ question to his lover while they were surfing on sea, got more than he bargained for when he accidentally dropped the ring in the sea.
.
When surfer couple Christopher Garth, 38, and Lauren Oiye, 32, recently went surfing in Honolulu, Hawaii, no one would gave believed that Garth would propose to the love of his life while on top of his surf board while on water.
As Lauren and Garth surfed on the exact spot where they met years back, Mr Garth dropped down on one knee on his surfboard, taking out the ring he had been keeping in the pocket of his swimming trunks and then asked her to marry him.
Garth had positioned photographers to capture the moment, but was left stunned when his ring fell into the water. However, it turned out the ring used in the proposal was a spare fake one, with the real ring kept safe on shore.
Lauren taking to her instagram to share the good news, said;
“Story time: we caught a wave together at the surf break we met at and had many of our first dates,” Lauren wrote.
“I turn back to make sure he was on the wave with me and he was on one knee with a ring box and screamed out ‘Lauren, I love you! Will you marry me?!’”
Ms Oiye revealed she initially thought the proposal was a joke, until she realised her man was being real.
“Christopher Garth, I love you and am so grateful the stars aligned and our ancestors that came before us so beautifully orchestrate this for us!” she stated after he asked her to marry him.
“Here’s to a lifetime of laughter and keeping things simple and authentic!”
”
