In a bid to clampdown on suspected fraudulent activities which has been painting the nation in a bad color, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said that it will need petitions to go after Hushpuppi, Baddyosha and every person Nigerian musician, 9ice, mentioned in his song ‘Living Things.’
Hushpuppi
The high commission said this while replying to a tweet by one of its followers, @onlydotcom on Friday, November 1, 2019.
The follower had asked the anti-graft agency to go after all the men 9ice mentioned in the song.
The follower tweeted, “EFCC, sit down and listen to the song, Living Things, by 9ice and do your work with the fear of God. Nigeria will be better for it.”
? Do you mean that could be a petition? Not enough anyway.
Nigerian fashion blogger and entrepreneur, Laura Ikeji has addressed rumors making rounds on the internet that she has been bleaching her skin.
The rumors began on social media when she shared a video on Instagram, on which the entrepreneur was looking fairer than her normal skin complexion.
Laura Ikeji has dismissed rumours that she is bleaching her skin. Laura said she’s toning it and NOT BLEACHING.
“Funny fact is, I’ve never bleached my skin in my life. Maybe a lil toning here n there but nothing intense. Money kinda brings out ur natural skin lol.”, she wrote.
Nigeria’s Anti-graft agency, EFCC, has released an article detailing the alleged criminal activities of flamboyant social media big boy, Ismaila Mustapha and his accomplice, Hamza Koudeih, a Lebanese national.
In the article, the antigraft agency could not fathom how Mompha could successfully operate 51 Fraudulent bank accounts despite the Bank Verification Number (BVN), introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria in February, 2014 which is meant to checkmate all acts of fraud in the banking sector.
Read the EFCC article below
He is a Lebanese, resident in Lagos and steeped in money. From his $1.3million residence in Eko Atlantic Pearl Tower to his high-end automobiles, Hamza Koudeih oozes money-all of which he made doing nothing in the country but money laundering- which the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says he has done to the tune of $19million.
Those who have followed the unraveling of a Lebanese man, Hamza Koudeih by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), would readily agree that it is misleading to judge a book by its cover. He is unassuming, comes off innocuous, and given to sedentary lifestyle.
In the swank 33-flight Eko Atlantic Pearl Tower, where he nestles with his young wife, he chose the fourth floor. This is to earn him some distance, even from his equally upscale neighbours.
Within the vicinity of this Victoria Island, Lagos high-end real estate, Koudeih ensures that no more than a moderate whiff of wealth and affluence trail his path. This is to belie his ill-gotten wealth and the fact that he dwells in $1.3million worth of residence.
To a few who know him, he is no more than a boardroom technocrat, who pulls the stops in THK Services Limited and CHK properties Limited. But the Koudeih whom many more do not know is a façade, an edifice of fraud; evil genius, a wise guy-a man much more than whom and what people think he is.
He amassed obscene wealth, doing nothing over the years in Nigeria barring crimes and criminalities, having fashioned a trans-Atlantic money laundering network.
Within the local scene, he has high net worth allies that includes social media celebrity, Ismaila Mustapha popularly known as (Mompha), whom the Commission picked up on Friday, 18 October, 2019 at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, while he was on his way to Dubai, United Arab Emirate. Mompha’s arrest laid the path to that of Koudeih.
Investigations by the EFCC established that while Mompha, who camouflages as a bureau de change operator has used his firm-Ismalob Global Investments Limited-to launder about N14 billion, Koudeih through his THK Services Limited and CHK properties Limited has laundered about N19 billion. Evidently, the two are kingpins in a criminal web of cyber criminals who through the three firms, laundered a jaw-dropping N33 billion.
Before the ring was busted, both men had featured on EFCC and United States’ Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) radar as a high valued targets in Organised Cyber Syndicate Network (OCSN) and particularly as honchos in a trans-national network of cyber criminals. These according to head, EFCC Cyber crime Unit (name withheld) were established by Intel, gathered by the EFCC and the FBI in their recent joint operation, tagged, “Operation Rewired.”
Worrisome is that Mompha was able to successfully operate 51 fraudulent bank accounts, through which the monies were laundered even with the enhanced account tracking and surveillance which the Bank Verification Number (BVN), introduced by the Central Bank of Nigerian in February, 2014 provides.
Koudeih was not an easy picking for the EFCC. Armed with precision Intel, additionally gathered by the EFCC, its operatives tracked him to his lair in Eko Atlantic Pearl Tower and placed the piece of the real estate, where he has his apartment on a lockdown.
Koudeih’s world of crime is heavily reinforced with a string of top-notch security architecture that inures and shields him.
Aside surveillance cameras and closed-circuit television (CCTV), that capture anyone that comes within range, his apartment is secured three times over with a triple reinforced fire-proof door, designed to withstand violent breaches, including bullet shots.
Apparently convinced that the EFCC was on wild goose chase for him, Koudeih and his wife refused to yield to all appeals by the operatives to open their maximum security door and let them in, so also the additional entreaties that later came from the tower’s chief security officer.
The pin drop silence that greeted the appeals of EFCC operatives was a dummy to mask their presence inside the apartment, but way down to the ground, Koudeih’s high-end cars, parked in his garage were enough to tell the operatives that he was in.
The lack of cooperation from the Lebanese as well as that from the owners and administrators of Eko Atlantic Pearl Tower left the EFCC with two options-beat a retreat or muscle through. It settled for the latter, reinforcing with men and breaching tools against the armoured door.
The operatives relentlessly deployed the tools against the door, expending more than three gruelling hours before they overcame.
“It was very difficult to gain entry. It was almost like a standoff. We had to send for reinforcement of officers and breaching tools from the office. We had to breach the triple reinforced fire-proof door before we could get in,” head Cyber crime, EFCC, said.
Inside the apartment, the décor, furniture and fittings speak of Koudeih’s high taste that would leave any Arabian prince green with envy. But puzzling is the hideaway between the ceiling and the deck in his bedroom. It provides no comfy, just enough to host and shield anyone while a search lasts.
The wife who was persuaded that her husband was safe and without traces above the ceiling told the prying EFCC operatives that the man they seek has escaped through the window. It was a tale that didn’t stick-escaping through the window from that height with bare hands is stuff only for the fairytale Spiderman. The EFCC operatives were, therefore certain that Koudeih was available and within reach, but puzzled by the fact that he was nowhere to be found, even with the entire apartment having been turned inside-out, exposing a cache of voodoo objects, that was carefully tucked away.
A slight misalignment in the well manicured ceiling in the bedroom was the lead that unraveled the Lebanese. “We saw from the ceiling, how he climbed and followed it and helped him down. He had time to breach the ceiling and climbed because of the some much time we spent trying to get into his apartment. His apartment has cameras and CCT, so he saw us and knew we were from the EFCC,” head Cyber crime, EFCC, said.
Taken away were his laptop computer and telephone handset, which is currently undergoing forensic check up in the anti-corruption agency. More good news is that his ring of trans-national cyber crime network had been busted and he will have his day in court.
Reacting to arrest, the Acting Chairman of the Commission, Ibrahim Magu, said Koudeih and Mompha’s arrests are landmark achievements for the EFCC in its fight against cyber crimes and a “red alert to potential fraudsters.
Speaking in an interactive session with anti-corruption stakeholders at the Lagos Zonal Office of the Commission on Thursday, October 31, 2019, he said,“The recent arrests of a social media celebrity, Ismaila Mustapha, popularly known as Mompha, and his Lebanese collaborator, Hamza Koudeih, for their alleged involvement in internet-related fraud and money laundering remain a landmark achievement of the EFCC.
“I make bold to tell you that these arrests have further confirmed our commitment to the anti-graft war, while also sending a red alert to potential internet fraudsters.
“I am sure you will be greatly shocked to know that five wristwatches valued at over N60million were recovered from the suspected internet fraudster, Mompha, at the point of arrest.
“Investigation has also revealed that he operates 51 bank accounts in Nigeria with which he acquired properties in Dubai and had laundered about N14billion through a firm known as Ismalob Global Investments Limited. His accomplice, Koudeih, also has two firms namely: THK Services Limited and CHK properties Limited with which he has allegedly laundered about N19billion.
Magu emphasized the fact that the Commission, prior to the arrests of both Mompha and Koudeih, had independently launched intensive investigative actions against the Internet fraudsters, popularly known as Yahoo Yahoo Boys, culminating in various strategic raids on their hideouts.
He further stated that the Commission had embarked on the raids even before the recently concluded collaborative operation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, tagged Operation Rewired- an international operation targeted at the Business Email Compromise, BEC, suspects across the world.

Reality star, Frodd has in some way, given back to the community following his latest act of charity.
Recall that Frodd traveled all the way down to Onitsha, to commiserate with victims of the ugly market fire incidence, and also see how the affected individuals can be helped.
The Pepper Dem housemate was recently out on the streets to distribute relief items to less privileged kids under the umbrella of his Feed 500 Kids On The Street outreach.

A video of Ike teaching his heartrob, Mercy Eke how to pronounce words with a British accent has surfaced the internet, and as expected, ‘Merceneries’ have reacted positively to the video.
The lovely video captured Mercy Eke paying full attention to her boo and mimicking the way he pronounces different words.
Ike on the other hand was also trying so hard to make his lover get the right pronunciation. The love birds are gradually becoming a serious internet sensation as they keep endearing the hearts of Nigerians to themselves, through their open display of affection.
Family members of Nigerian scholar, Pius Adesanmi, are currently at loggerheads with his wife, Muyiwa, who they claim buried his remains in Canada without their consent.
Adesanmi who died in the ill-fated Ethiopian Airlines crash in March this year, was committed to mother earth in Ottawa, Canada on Saturday October 26th.
In an article released by his relative, Mike Oyelude, and posted by the Cable, the family accused Mrs Adesanmi of burying their son in Canada against his wish.
According to Oyelude, the late Adesanmi had always wanted to be buried in his home state, Kogi state. He said neither Adesanmi’s mother, Madam Lois Adesanmi nor his first child from his previous marriage, Oluwadamilare, were contacted for the burial.
Read the article below;
Saturday November 2, 2019 made it exactly one week since we read on social media about the purported burial of our son, the late Prof. Pius Adebola Adesanmi. This burial reportedly took place in Ottawa on October 26, 2019. Since the so-called burial, we have waited for confirmation and used established channels to find out what really happened.
It is now evident, that our late son’s remains were interred in Ottawa without family consent and contrary to the wish of the deceased to be buried in his place of birth, Isanlu. To our shock and chagrin, this interment was carried out without the knowledge or consent of Prof. Adesanmi’s aged mother and his eldest daughter.
Since the death of our son in the ill-fated Ethiopian Airlines crash, we have been subjected to unspeakable disrespect, deceit and discourtesy by Boeing, Ethiopian Airlines and Prof Adesanmi’s widow in Ottawa. We want to place on record that neither Boeing, Ethiopian Airlines nor Prof. Adesanmi’s widow Olumuyiwa Balogun has done right by the family. We have not been called nor informed about the accident till date.
Prof. Adesanmi was born in Isanlu, in Kogi State to the Adesanmi family. We raised our son in the best custom of our ancestors and the Christian faith. Although his father, Pa Adesanmi passed before his son in relative old age, he is survived by his aged mother Mama Lois Adesanmi and two young daughters Oluwadamilare and Oluwatise. It is public knowledge in official and private circles that both children were born to Prof. Adesanmi in Ottawa to different mothers, in lawful wedlock.
“Oluwadamilare ‘Dammy’ Adesanmi was born in wedlock to Pius and Oluwatosin in Ottawa. That makes Dammy a bona-fide Canadian citizen. It is disdainful to make it appear as if Pius is survived by one child. In our culture and before the law, children born in lawful wedlock have equal status before the law and society.
Indeed since our world crashed with Pius last March, nobody has deemed it fit to officially contact his family in any official capacity. If the airlines whose negligence led to the untimely death of our son has made contact with anyone on our behalf, it was incumbent on them to ensure that we were duly carried along by way of official information and that our consent is sought as to how our son’s remains would be interred.
“We would like to place it on record that neither the airline nor anyone else bothered to seek our consent or approval before the purported ceremony in Ottawa. We refuse to believe that this was not done deliberately to maximise the pain, the suffering and the agony of our matriarch” he said
The wife of the deceased is yet to react to the article.
The University of Port Harcourt, UNIPORT, has launched its policy against sexual harassment where amorous hugging between lecturers and female students is now an offence.
UNIPORT Campus
The Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Ndowa E. S. Lale said the University decided to raise the bar on sexual harassment to ensure that the young men and women put in the charge of lecturers are protected, especially from antics of sexual predators who use their privileged positions to blackmail or railroad their unwilling students or subordinate staff into granting them sexual favours.
He said the management of the University in the policy document defined the rules of engagement in terms of the acceptable of engagement between lecturers, administrators and students, including visitors to the university. Prof Ndowa vowed that sanctions would be meted to erring members of staff but added that there was a robust in built checks and balances to protect those who are innocently accused.
He also warned that any person so accused would be presumed guilty until he or she could prove otherwise under the established rules of fair hearing. Prof Ndowa also warned that henceforth, lectures and administrators who did not remember to tell their tailors to sew zippers in front of their trousers should be ready to bear the consequences of their amorous liaison with female students.
He warned that the same applied to students who harassed lecturers to award them undeserved grades, saying they should equally be ready to face the music if and when caught in the act of self advertisement to their lecturers.
A Nigerian lady, Christina Temitope Abiola is trending on social media following the birth of her bouncing baby girl named, Aniyah Oluwanifemi Grant.
The lady who is proudly black and tags herself ‘Melanin Madness’ released some daring baby-bump photos in which her tummy was covered with black marks.
According to her, she felt so uncomfortable showing that off to the general public and this forced her to delay the shoot to the later end of the pregnancy period.
She could have avoided the photo-shoot but she wanted to keep memories of the pregnancy period just like other women do. After a long time of contemplating, she undertook the photoshoot and decided to share with her over 36,000 followers on Instagram.
Her pictures came with a stunning and inspiring caption which reads ;
“BTS Insecurity is a dangerous thing. I believe It restrains us from for filling our full potential. When it came down to shooting my maternity photos I was truly afraid. So afraid I delayed it to 38 weeks pregnant!! time was truly running out and I wanted my memories! At first I asked the photographer to try and edit the marks.
However it was so much the edit made it look off. So I said no worries let’s do! I’ve been struggling with embracing my marks because I felt like I was the only one who’s experienced such an extreme amount. My entire belly was covered and I felt like I was doing something wrong.. I was more worried about after having her if they’d even go away and how long it would take.. but through the love and support of friends and family I feel very secure! I like to call my marks beauty marks! Because my marks represent the beautiful life I brought to the world! I honestly would do it all over again for her”

Nigerian singer, Doyinsola who recently welcomed her first child with her husband Mr Akinola in the United States after 6 years of marriage, has recounted the challenges she faced.
Doyinsola revealed that she suffered miscarriages over three times and had to go in for different tests, surgeries and also took so much drugs.
She wrote on IG ;
“Meet the Akinola’s. My Beautiful Family of 3. Fun fact: Being married for 6years long before my music career started off professionally. Just didn’t feel the need to play the married woman card. Don’t ask me why, we just wanted to keep it that way ??This young man came along and I can’t but share my joy with you.
My Testimony: I love babies so much and people around can attest to that. I wanted to have my own babies like normal couples do. Fortunately for us, without even trying I got pregnant with my first a month after my wedding and trust me I was super excited and looking forward to having the baby. Life happened and it ended in a miscarriage. Battled recurrent miscarriages ever since then, not once, not twice, not thrice?? Took different tests, surgeries, lots of drugs” I hate swallowing pills but it soon became my best friend “, tried different hospitals and results always come back good. Hence the confusion and anxiety.
At this point we decided to seek other means of parenting method precisely IVF. After making some payments we were supposed to go back for some tests to get started but in the process of waiting. I got pregnant again and this time I carried my pregnancy to full term with a healthy and most beautiful human have ever seen to show for it.
Lesson: Trust God’s process cos his timing is best for us. Forget all the packaging,I became really closer to my God and put all my trust in Him. People will come up with advises of all kinds. Make up your mind, it’s either God or nothing. Be nice to everyone around you cos you don’t have an idea of what battle they are fighting. Prophecy positive things into your life always. Tell God what you want. Do not give in to fear atall.
Stop asking irrelevant and sensitive questions like why are you not pregnant? If you care so much, mention them to God in your prayers. You might want to bury yourself with work when you’re down. I do that a lot and it helps. Get busy like really busy. Be happy for people not jealous, so that your day of joy too can come. I started to meditate on this bible verse alot Ezekiel12vs28 Marry your best friend, you might not appreciate it until you’re faced with challenges. TBC…
A young lady has been trending online for good reasons.
She recently concluded her National Youth Service Corps programme and like a river that never forgets its source, she went back to celebrate with her father, who is a farmer.
According to reports, the subsistence farmer struggled to put her through school with the proceeds of his agriculture business.
The smile on the face of her father is priceless and he used that opportunity to say some words of prayers for her.
Nollywood actress cum Instagram comedian, Etinosa has revealed how a certain stranger she didn’t know or ever met recently sent her Range Rover Evoque.
“The craziest thing a fan has done, was when a guy I have never met sent me a Range Rover. I’m not good with cars but I think it’s Evoque. It’s crazy because I didn’t even know him, she said.
Etinosa also spoke about the sex for roles/grades controversy.
“When I was up and coming, I faced a few sex for role situations, but I was never pressured into doing anything, because I was already informed from film school that things like this would happen. No producer has the right to determine your success. So, as an up and coming girl, I was never desperate.
Popular disc jockey, Soseneyayi Amar-Aigbe, better known as DJ Sose, has finally opened up on why he has a tattoo on his face.
DJ Sose revealed to Sunday Scoop that he had issues with standing out when he started his career, so he decided to tattoo his face. He stated, “My face tattoo is my trademark– a marketing strategy to make me stand out. In the beginning, when I started, I kept getting mixed up with another DJ who was also mixed race and looked like me. We had similar mixing styles too. I had to figure out a way to stand out from the crowd. This is my calling card. You can forget my name but you can never forget my face.”
“DJs have changed the game. We have made it more of a branding situation. We are now individuals and brands to be reckoned with. We are more business-like than before. I came back to the industry to make sure that is the situation,”.

In a quite funny turn out of events between two friends, one was left taken aback when the other went from zero to a two hundred in nothing more than 30 seconds over the unavailability of a loan.
The supposed-to-be lender was asked for a loan by the lendee and after the lender revealed the scarcity of funds the lendee asked for, the lendee flared up in the most surprising way.
The gentleman took to his page to share a screenshot of their chat and of course, the conversation has left many surprised with a handful of them having a thing or two to say.
The lendee displayed a high level of vulgarity after his friend told him that he couldn’t lend him money as he, himself(lender) has something he wants to do with the money.
Well, the lendee couldn’t care less about what his lender wants to do with money cause he plans on paying it back in a short time but since he still wouldn’t lend him the money, he resorts to lashing out at him.
Read their conversation below that has people in talks,

The report is furthed confirmed as a quick check on their social media page shows that Cubana has unfollowed Mercy on Instagram.

Please be informed that it was Mercy’s legal team who actually advised her to get proper management team immediately they started seeing through #cubannachiefpriest. :
Please also be informed that at the time of signing the fiasco Moët deal, Chief priest, I was told stylishly got Mercy to do most of what he wanted. :
Yes there was the mention of N30m+. But that was supposedly going to go into Mercy’s t&t, hotels, clothing etc anytime she supposedly attended “Moët&Chandon event” ?… all happening on the ticket of cubanna and not Moët.

So now as per new terms and conditions, any appearance Mercy makes will attracts a fee be it Cubana, Moet event, etc . No pay, No show
:
Too messy ?♀️. Thank God for the advice of the legal team which eventually saw the priest off. ✌️
Today is November 3rd, and it’s Former Big Brother Naija Housemate, Khafi Kareem’s Birthday!
Khafi, apparently, found love in the house in Gedoni.. and he’s taken to his Instagram page this morning to express his undying love for her, as he wished her a happy birthday.
He wrote; “The best gifts in life are those we find in unexpected places, when we aren’t looking. It was no mistake when the Bible described humans as “treasures in earthen vessels”, because I’ve found one in you – Precious, valuable, lovable and with a heart so pure.
Your innocence is beautiful, your smile brightens my world and your entire personality? Simply delightful.
“I went into BBNaija for something I thought I wanted, and came out with someone I needed (a partner, a support system, a friend, a sister; everything I didn’t even know I needed). On this special day; I just want to say I love you dearly @acupofkhafi and I cherish what we share. Love you longggggggggggg @acupofkhafi”
Ex-BBNaija housemate, Khafi Kareem, says she has been asked to resume work at the London Metropolitan police in the United Kingdom where she was an officer before participating in Big Brother Naija 2019.
Recall that while she was in the House, there were reports that MET police authorities were thinking of teminating her appointment for going on the show without any permission from her superiors.
Khafi who returned to the UK two weeks ago, told Mirror in a new interview, that she did ask healr bosses for permission to go on the show but they declined her request. She said the police have since contacted her and asked her to return to her seat.
“I started to ask what the procedure is, what would I do, I thought I might actually get into the show. I wanted to do everything by the book even though I didn’t know if I was in the show or not. I spoke to as many people as I was told to. I was told to go to my commander; I explained the situation, I told him I wanted time off – three months off of work and the reason was because I might get on Big Brother.
Work has been really great, we’ve been speaking and communicating, they asked me when I’d be coming back to work. I’m not sure when I’m going to go back yet. I want to get back as soon as possible, I’m passionate about keeping London safer.” she said
Khafi who turns a year older today November 3rd, also denied claims that herself and her former housemate turned lover, Gedoni Ekpata, had sex while in the house. She confirmed they were in a serious relationship and hopes they are still together for a love time.
“We are still together now – I met someone in there and fell in love with him. I hope we will be together for a very long time.” she said
Bobrisky has spoken on his journey to transforming into a woman which he describes as ‘awesome’.
According to him, ‘my journey transforming into a beautiful woman was awesome. Yes the procedure might have cost millions but am happy’.
He then went on to say, ‘I have been doing many surgeries low key cos I don’t want drama. More surgeries coming through by this time next year I guess I want to contest for miss WORLD’.
