In a remarkable turn of events, it has been reported that the Department of State Services (DSS) has recovered a staggering sum of over N580 million from Abdulrasheed Bawa, the suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Bawa’s arrest by the DSS in June, following his indefinite suspension by President Bola Tinubu over allegations of misconduct and abuse of office, sent shockwaves through the nation. Since then, he has remained in custody.

According to insider sources cited by Sahara reporters, the substantial amount of money has now been retrieved from the former EFCC chairman.

Banker arrested for alleged theft of N14.8m from customer’s account

In a stunning development, a Banker has been apprehended by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for allegedly stealing a large sum of N14.8 million from a customer’s account.

The suspect, identified as Awulu Friday Ayegba, worked as a relationship manager at a prominent new generation bank.

According to the EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, Ayegba conducted fraudulent transactions between June 7 and July 21, 2023, during which he illicitly withdrew the aforementioned amount from a customer’s account.

Investigations revealed that Ayegba employed deceitful tactics by assuming the identities of two individuals, Henry Olowo and Terseer Shibiam.

Using forged passport photographs, fake national identification numbers, and manipulated phone numbers, he opened bank accounts under the names of two unregistered companies: Sulib Complex & Investments and Seamless & More Global.

The EFCC also uncovered another alarming detail. Ayegba, in his fraudulent activities, forged documents belonging to Nduka Obinna to apply for a loan facility amounting to a staggering N40 million. Disturbingly, his intention was to flee the country with his family.

As investigations proceed, the public is urged to remain cautious and report any suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities.

This was from the acclaimed ‘people of God’. Among many of the countless insults, curses, threats and bullying.
Now, I understand the content of 1 Peter 4:17, Surely judgment will begin from the house of God.
The first time the man of God tried to challenge my God he failed, then he told me to prepare for war.
But these are the people of God. Are they not supposed to be Godly?
Assuming I had died few days ago; people would’ve understood better what I’ve been facing, by the testimony of those around me.
But I’ll still try and bind my piece because it is a testimony that others can learn from.
I know about gods that is why I chose the undefeatable God. Surely they shall gather,
but they that be with me are more than they that be with them.
I’ve been in constant fear for my life. Countless times they’ve tried to destroy me as promised, but with God I keep moving as if nothing ever happened.
Shouldn’t we have gotten over this?
I mean it’s 4 months already, guess you will not stop until I stop breathing?
I’ll try to update this piece, while I try to hold unto my peace.”

She named her pastor as the individual threatening her life in a follow-up post.

She went on to say that she will be in Lagos for an interview in which she would let everything out but she cautioned that her pastor ought to be held accountable if anything were to happen to her.
