The man who threatened to kill comedian Mr. Macaroni has apologized, moments after Mr. Macaroni shared a screenshot of his post.

We reported earlier that the content creator’s life was threatened by a Buhari lover on Twitter who opposed Mr. Macaroni’s decision to stage a protest at the Lekki Toll Gate.

In a public apology tendered on his handle, @lawalt2010 he wrote;

”I am writing this tweet in response to a viral tweet about Mr.Macaroni…I sincerely apologize and retract every content of the tweet…We were having an argument before I lost it completely and went beyond limits…I have never k!lled anyone & I will never do…I am very sorry!!”

A peep through the man’s Twitter Bio has a bold inscription that he is a “Buhari Lover”.

Hon. Justice D.E. Osiagor of the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has granted an Order of Interim Forfeiture of fourteen landed properties belonging to embattled M.D/CEO of Brisk Capital Limited, Mr. Dominic Ngene Joshua.

The police say that Joshua has diverted ₦2 billion from over 500 investors. He has spent some of that money on “parties, exotic cars, luxury watches, real estate in Abuja, Lagos and Port-Harcourt,” according to a statement from the special fraud unit on Monday.

SP Eyitayo Johnson, who is the Public Relations Officer of the Police Special Fraud Unit, in a statement on Thursday, March 31, said the Order followed an application on Motion Ex-Parte filed by the (PSFU) in December 2021 pending the determination of criminal charges proffered against Dominic Joshua by the Unit in Charge No. FHC/L/223C/2021.

The properties, spread across Lagos (Parkview Estate), Rivers and Cross-River States were worth over One Hundred and Fifty Million Naira (N150,000,000.00). These are covered by Deed of Lease, Contract of Sale and other Title Deeds.

According to the police, Joshua lured victims on social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn, as well as via newspaper publications where he claimed to be a financial investor of repute that manage funds for individuals and companies.

A Nigerian Soldier recently went viral on social media after he made a video where he cried out that he’d been abandoned by his colleagues and he also called on God to save him.

The Nigerian Army has reacted to a viral video by the soldier purportedly abandoned by his colleagues during operations and the soldier’s action was described as “misleading, diversionary, a calculated attempt to whip-up public sentiment and cover up his act of cowardice.”

According to the Director Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, it was the soldier who abandoned his colleagues and absconded in a display of outright cowardice during an ongoing clearance operation in Gurara, Niger State.

Read the statement below ;

“The attention of the Nigerian Army(NA) has been drawn to a viral video making the rounds on the social media, where a soldier on Wednesday, 30 March 2022 claimed to have been abandoned by his colleagues during operations,” the statement read.

“Contrary to the claims and impression created by the soldier in the video footage, preliminary investigations have revealed that the video footage was a deliberate attempt to shield himself from being accused of cowardice, having abandoned his colleagues during an ongoing clearance operation in Gurara, Niger State.

“It could be recalled that troops of the NA, recently carried out a clearance operation in Gurara Local Government Area of Niger State. Disappointingly, during an encounter, the said soldier abandoned his colleagues and absconded in an outright display of cowardice and possible sabotage, which negate the precepts of the military profession.

“Sensing the gravity of his action and its consequences, the soldier surreptitiously uploaded the video online in a calculated attempt to whip-up public sentiment and cover up his act of cowardice.

“The soldier’s action amounts to a betrayal of the esprit de corps and comradery that are synomous with a military unit and fighting formation, particularly during operations. The soldier’s conduct is therefore an aberration and against the ethics and core values of the military profession.

“The video footage is thus, in all intent, and purpose a misrepresentation of what actually transpired between the soldier and his colleagues.

“The soldier has rejoined his unit and further investigations are currently ongoing to unravel the reasons behind his unprofessional conduct.”

The Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, has denied media reports claiming he said Nigerians should contribute money for the treatment of victims of the Monday, March 28, train attack.

On Thursday, news made the rounds that the Minister on Wednesday asked Nigerians to contribute money for the injured victims. The Minstry has however come out to clarify the statement.

The Statement which was signed by the Director, Press and PR for the Ministry reads;

The Ministry of Transportation’s attention has been drawn to the story carried by the print media and other online platforms quoting the Minister of Transportation , Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi as asking “Nigerian people to liaise with the hospital management and see how much they can contribute to the treatment of the patients” is false and a terrible misrepresentation.

On the contrary, what the Minister said and we have it on record is: “I have said to the Nigerian Railway Corporation to liase with the hospital management and see how much they can contribute for the treatment of patients”.

In light of the above, we urge the public to disregard these publications as it is not a representation of what the Minister said when he went to commiserate witht he bomb blast victims at 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital and St. Gerald’s Catholic Hospital, both in Kaduna on March 30, 2022.

Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, on Wednesday, March 30, 2022, secured the conviction and sentencing of an internet fraudster, Etegene Japheth, to six months imprisonment before Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of the Special Offence court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos.

Japheth aka Mr. Tim Graw and Tom Cruise was arraigned on a one count amended charge bordering on possession of documents containing false pretence.

Japheth on or about the 16th day of February 2022 in Lagos, had in his possession several documents containing false pretences, one of which is a record of his conversation with several unsuspecting victims via his email address: tomcruise3705@gmail.com, wherein he represented himself as Mr. Tim Graw and Tom Cruise in order to obtain gift cards and money from them.

He pleaded “guilty” to the charge when it was read to him.

In view of his plea, the prosecuting counsel, Blessing John, reviewed the facts of the case and tendered in evidence the statement of the defendant as well as the bundle of fraudulent documents printed out from the iPhone 12 recovered from him.

He was, thereafter, sentenced to six months imprisonment, with an option of N200,000 fine.

The convict was ordered to also forfeit all items recovered from him to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
