EFCC Arraigns Suspected Land Racketeer for N86m Fraud

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Thursday, May 18, 2017 arraigned one Ikechucwu Duru before Justice A. O. Otaluka of the Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Lugbe, Abuja on one-count charge of obtaining by false pretence.

Duru is alleged to have, between 2012 and 2013 “in Abuja within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, by false pretence and with intent to defraud obtained the sum of N86million from Alhaji Aliyu Idris Shuaibu under the pretext of re-instatement of plot No 4 Cadastral Zone C10 located at Wumba District and allocation of a new plot of land”.

It is an offence contrary to Section 1(1) (a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act 2006.

He pleaded “not guilty” to the charge.

Prosecuting counsel, Mukhtar Ahmed, thereafter asked the court to fix a date for hearing since the defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge. He also urged the court to remand him in prison custody pending trial.

Defence counsel, Micheal Eleyinmi, however moved his client’s bail application.
Was on administrative bail by the EFCC”, Eleyinmi said.

However, Ahmed in opposing the bail application said: “The defendant has earlier jumped the administrative bail granted to him before he was re-arrested by the Commission and he might again jump bail”.

After listening to the arguments, Justice Otaluka granted bail to the defendant in the sum of N2million with one surety in like sum. The surety, who must be a civil servant in Abuja on grade level 14, must show evidence of being in the service for the next five years.
The judge ordered that the defendant be remanded in Kuje prison pending the fulfillment of the bail conditions, and adjourned to June 5, 2017 for trial.

Leicester City 1 Tottenham 6: Four-star Kane pulls clear in Golden Boot race

Four goals from Harry Kane and two from Son Heung-min helped Tottenham to a 6-1 battering of Leicester City in their penultimate Premier League match of the season on Thursday.

England international Kane moved to 26 in the top flight for this season – putting him two ahead of Romelu Lukaku in the Golden Boot standings – while Son took his tally to 21 goals in all competitions in the emphatic victory.

The hammering puts Spurs on 83 points for 2016-17, three more than Leicester managed when they were crowned champions last term.

Son and Kane combined to put Spurs ahead before the South Korea star made it 2-0 as half-time approached with a well-taken volley.

Ben Chilwell gave Leicester some hope with his first Premier League goal, but a Kane header and a brilliant Son finish ended the Foxes' resistance.
Kane then struck twice in the closing stages to seal the dominant win for Mauricio Pochettino's swashbuckling side.

The defeat, Leicester's 18th of a miserable title defence, saw them miss out on the chance to draw level on points with eighth-place Southampton and did little to enhance manager Craig Shakespeare's chances of holding on to the job for next term.

For Spurs, who move back to within seven points of champions Chelsea, it was another impressive performance in an excellent campaign that will finish against Hull City on Sunday.

And there was enough time for Kane to take his tally to four and move top of the league's goalscoring charts outright. 

Ronaldo tells Zidane to drop Bale, pick Isco for Champions League final

Cristiano Ronaldo is leading a group of Real Madrid players, who want manager Zinedine Zidane, to start Isco ahead of Gareth Bale, in next month’s Champions League final.

Bale has not played since Madrid’s defeat in the El Clasico, after picking up a calf injury.

The Welshman is yet to return to training, but is expected to be fit for the game against Juventus in Cardiff.

Diario Gol reports that some of his team-mates believe Isco, who has played in Bale’s absence, should keep his place.

Apart from Ronaldo, captain Sergio Ramos is also reported to have backed his countryman, along with Pepe, Casemiro and Fabio Coentrao.

Isco scored the crucial away goal in their Champions League semi-final victory over rivals Atletico

13-year-old boy accidentally shoots to death a 12-year-old girl on Facebook live

Livestreaming seems to have caused more harm than good because ever since it's inception, people now carry out fatal acts just to livestream it. In the case of the teenagers in this story, theirs did not seem intentional but someone is dead all the same.

This sad incident happened in Argentina. Some teenagers were playing with a shotgun when one of them accidentally shot Georgina Magalí Vega, 12, an only daughter, killing her instantly.

It happened on Santa Rosa de Calchines - Santa Fe, a small town of about 9.300 inhabitants. 

At the start of the video, voices can be heard speaking in a foreign language - maybe Spanish. Georgina stood behind a chair while the boy with the gun sat in a chair, facing her.

"You kill me and I kill you." Georgina said in Spanish at the start of the morbid game. 

The boy with the gun replied: "Look this! A shell...I load it... And I shoot you but you don't die!" 

Georgina replied: "Do you see blood or something?" (Kidding)

The boy then fires the shotgun and there's a look of shock and pain on the girl's face as she falls to the ground. Panicked screams can be heard as voices in the background cried, calling "Georgi"

One other female voice can be heard screaming: "Man what have you done!?"

Then a male voice said: "Her parents are going to kill us!"

"I'm leaving..." the killer was heard saying in panic while they all cried but the other boy tried to stop Lucas from leaving.

"Stop Lucas come here," the other boy said.

Balotelli the winner after leaving Liverpool for Nice – Favre

Nice coach Lucien Favre has been revelling in Mario Balotelli coming good in Ligue 1 and suggested that he has enjoyed a better season than he would have done had he played with Liverpool this term.

The Italy striker has flourished in France, scoring 15 goals in 23 league games to fire Nice into the Champions League qualifiers thanks to a third-place finish.

Allowed to leave Liverpool on a free in August, Balotelli has also been shown three red cards, but Favre has impressively got the best from the infamously temperamental striker.

And, with Liverpool yet to be certain of their place in next season’s Champions League heading into the final day of the Premier League season, Favre believes his man has got the better end of the deal.

Favre told a news conference: “It’s clear, we must tell the truth, at the beginning, everyone was asking questions – ‘Will it work?’

“It was not easy to bet on that. But again, I said throughout the season, he helped us. He scored goals, in September I think, which gave us points, which gave us confidence.

“Even if, in January-February, it was difficult for him. We still managed to get 0-0, 1-1 … After that, he caught up on other matches. What he lacks is consistency.

“I was open [to the signing of Balotelli]. We did not have too many solutions, but we talked and then I thought it was a good idea.

“In the end, it was a very good idea!

“All in all, he helped Nice. On the marketing side too, we must not deny it. It also helped him to re-enter in the race because he was not very good after Liverpool. He trained with the youth team.

“In Nice, he did a great thing. Liverpool is fourth in the English championship, Nice is third in the French championship. And I do not know if there is a lot of difference between the two.”

Jose Mourinho officially drags Man Utd to new low

Whatever happens in their final game against Crystal Palace, Manchester United‘s first season under Jose Mourinho will end with their lowest number of wins in the Premier League era.

The Red Devils are on 17 victories so far and even an 18th on the final day of the season would represent their lowest since they won 16 in the 1990/91 campaign.

With Mourinho hired to improve on a dire three years under David Moyes and Louis van Gaal, this lack of success in the league represents a major embarrassment for a manager so long regarded as one of the best in the world.

The Portuguese has won major honours with Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid in a distinguished managerial career, but has failed to make that same impact at Old Trafford so far.

Moyes’ United finished 7th in his single season in charge, but even that side, regarded as the worst in United’s modern history, won 19 matches in the 2013/14 season.

Van Gaal then guided the club to 4th and 5th in his two seasons in charge, with 20 and 19 wins, respectively. With United now confirmed as finishing 6th on fewer victories, it’s clear Mourinho has to make a quick improvement next season.

Lagos, FCT, Rivers lead in public complaints against police

Lagos, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and Rivers recorded the highest number of complaints against police officers by members of the public.

The Public Compliant Rapid Response Unit (PCRRU) disclosed this in its 2017 first quarter report released in Abuja Thursday.

According to the report, the Unit received 498 cases between January and March this year from various parts of the country.

The report, however, showed 52.8 per cent decrease in number of misconduct cases reported against police officers compared to last year.

1,054 cases were reported during the same period last year.

The Assistant Commissioner of Police in charge of PCRRU, Abayomi Shogunle, said telephone call topped the means by which members of the public interacted with the Unit, adding that 362 cases or 73 per cent of the total cases reported were received through calls.

Shogunle said 10,000 phone calls were received from the public during the period under review but only 362 phone calls relating to the mandate of the Unit were processed.

He said, “Lagos State Police Command topped the list with 90 cases representing 18.07 per cent, followed by FCT Abuja with 69 cases or 13.86 per cent and Rivers State with 59 cases or 11.85 per cent.

“Kwara and Ekiti Police Commands recorded no case during the period while Sokoto, Kebbi, Jigawa, Cross River and Bauchi Police Commands recorded one case each.

“Kebbi state Command recorded its first case since the inception of the unit in 2015.”

One witness told Fox News: "The car was driving the wrong direction up Broadway before mounting the sidewalk. 

Police said the driver of the car was in custody and being tested for alcohol.

Cancer : 13 Signs Men Are Likely to Ignore

Signs of Cancer Men Are Likely to Ignore

Many men’s cancer signs can mimic symptoms of other diseases or conditions—and many men are notorious for delaying doctors’ visits—so it’s easy to ignore them. But it’s important to know your body and see a doctor about these or any unusual pains or other changes.

Difficulty urinating

If it's consistently difficult to urinate, or there's blood in your urine or semen, or if you experience unexplained erectile dysfunction, see your doctor; these could be symptoms of prostate cancer. 'Unfortunately, there aren't noticeable symptoms of prostate cancer until the aggressive stages,' says Moshe Shike, MD, gastroenterologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. Dr. Shike says he frequently sees patients who ignore these symptoms for up to six months before they seek help, but the sooner you check out your symptoms, the better.

Noticeable skin changes

Men over 50 are about twice as likely as women to develop and die from skin cancer; young men account for 40 per cent of melanoma cases, but 60 per cent of melanoma deaths, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. Why? A study by the National Sun Protection Advisory Council found that men spend more time in the sun than women and are less likely to wear sunscreen; men also have less hair covering their scalp and ears, two areas where they tend to develop cancer. Also, traditionally men visit the doctor less often than women do, so their cancers may not be caught as early.
It’s easy to miss the early warning signs of skin cancer, says Rich Wender, MD, chief cancer control officer for the American Cancer Society. “Many people think freckles, moles, or darker age spots are just like the others they’ve had,” he explains. If you notice a mole getting darker, larger, or becoming raised, get it checked. With melanoma, spots are often irregularly shaped (not round), significantly darker in colour, or even two distinctly different colours within one spot, he says. “Melanoma is far less common than other skin cancers, but has the potential to be more deadly,” says Dr. Wender. “However, many melanomas have a long period where they’re not invasive and easy to cure, as long as they’re caught early.”

Sores or pain in your mouth

A cold sore that heals is probably nothing to worry about, nor is a toothache that goes away after a trip to the dentist. But if you notice sores that don’t heal, pain that sticks around, white or red patches on the gums or tongue, and any swelling or numbness of the jaw, it could be a sign of some mouth cancers. Men who smoke or use chewing tobacco have an increased risk of developing mouth cancer, says Dr. Markman. “More men smoke than women. Smokers and users of chewing tobacco need to be far more concerned with sores in their mouth that do not heal quickly, compared to non-smokers,” he says.

Chronic coughing

A cough that lasts three weeks or more—without other symptoms, such as a cold or allergies—could be an early symptom of lung cancer. Leukemia can also lead to bronchitis-like symptoms. “If it’s different than your regular cough and if it persists, or you cough up a little blood, that’s significant,” says Dr. Markman. Some lung cancer patients report chest pain that extends up into the shoulder or down the arm.

Blood in your stool

It could be hemorrhoids or something benign—but it could also be a symptom of colon cancer. Routine screening typically starts at age 50, but cases are becoming more common in younger adults, which is why it’s important to see a doctor for any suspicious symptoms. “It’s easy to dismiss it as hemorrhoids or constipation, and if the problem comes and goes, people reassure themselves that nothing’s wrong, especially younger people,” says Dr. Wender. “But blood in a bowel movement is never normal, so get it checked out.”

Unexplained weight loss

“Weight loss for a lot of Americans is a good thing—everyone’s dieting—but if you have less appetite when you usually have a good appetite, and there’s no big life event or problems happening to cause that, get it checked out,” says Dr. Markman. Losing weight can be a side effect of many different cancers such as esophageal, pancreatic, liver, and colon, but it’s an especially common symptom of leukemia or lymphoma, says Dr. Wender.

Stomach pain or nausea

Everyday digestive distress is rarely cancer—but you should see a doctor if you notice persistent stomach cramps or are starting to feel nauseous all the time. It could be something as simple as an ulcer, but it could also signal leukemia or esophageal, liver, colorectal, or pancreatic cancer.

Chronic headaches

If you’re not prone to migraines and never get headaches, but suddenly find yourself popping pain meds all the time, it could be a sign of a brain tumour, which causes pain by pressing on nerves.

Frequent fevers or infections

If you’re usually healthy but notice yourself getting sick or feverish more frequently, it could be an early sign of leukemia. This blood cancer triggers the body to produce abnormal white blood cells, which weakens the body’s infection-fighting abilities. Be on the lookout for flu-like symptoms that don’t go away.

Difficulty swallowing

A sore throat that persists for a few weeks and gets worse could be a symptom of throat or stomach cancer, as well as an early sign of lung cancer.

Testicular changes

Just as women should be familiar with how their breasts look and feel, men should pay attention to their testicles. If you notice changes in size (to one or both), if they feel swollen or extra heavy, or if you feel a lump, these symptoms could indicate testicular cancer, says Maurie Markman, MD, an oncologist at Cancer Treatment Centers of America. Testicular cancer is most common in young and middle-aged men.

Excessive bruising

A random bruise is probably nothing to worry about, but if you start to notice bruises popping up all the time, especially in places you wouldn’t normally get them, like your hands or fingers, it could indicate a more serious health condition. Unusual bruising can be a leukemia symptom, according to Cancer Treatment Centers of America. Over time, leukemia impairs the blood’s ability to carry oxygen and clot.

Persistent fatigue

Everyone has low-energy days. However, if you feel tired every day for more than a month, or experience shortness of breath when you didn’t before, see a doctor, says Dr. Wender. Leukemia and lymphoma commonly cause persistent fatigue. “Most of the time it won’t be cancer, but get it checked because you never know,” he says. These are other medical reasons you could be tired all the time. - Reader's Digest.CA

59 Ikoyi Prisons inmates sit for 2017 UTME

Fifty-nine inmates of the Ikoyi Prisons Lagos on Wednesday and Thursday sat for the on-going Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

The figure was an improvement over the 32 that sat for the examination in 2016.

The Principal of the Ikoyi Prison School, Mr Idris Ibikunle, said that the candidates were better prepared this year, adding that he was expecting a better performance.

“More inmates registered for the examination this year because they saw the urge to secure their future and prepare for reintegration after their prison terms. Many of them have realised that they ought not to be in prison if they were educated.

“It is because of lack of education and lack of awareness that pushed some of them into getting involved in dirty habit and anti-social behaviour which landed them in prison.

“Some of them, because of lack of education, were cajoled into participating in criminal activities,’’ Ibikunle said.

The principal added that the prison authority had supported the inmates in preparing for the examination.

Ibikunle noted that the inmates would proceed to the National Open University of Nigeria if they meet up admission requirements.

The Deputy Controller of Prisons, Mr Julius Ezeugwu, said that the examination was conducted without any hitch, adding that he was optimistic that the candidates would perform well.

Ezeugwu explained that the examination was taken in batches in order to allow for those who have court appearance to do so.

Mr Kunmi Popoola, the JAMB’s Director of Psychometrics, who supervised the centre, said that the board provided the Prisons School centre with 60 new computers and accessories for the conduct of the examination.

He commended the zeal of some of the inmates towards education as they conducted themselves well during the examination.

“I am happy with the conduct of the examination for the inmates, it was orderly and smooth. The examination is a reformative step and not punitive.

“Those who are about completing their jail terms, are getting ready to be re-integrated into the larger society,’’ Popoola said.

According to him, the JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, is very passionate about these class of candidates in ensuring that everyone is given equal opportunity.

Billion dollar couple: Beyonce and Jay Z’s combined wealth hits $1.16bn

Forbes Magazine released a list of America’s Wealthiest Self-Made Women today.

According to the list, R&B singer Beyoncé Knowles is worth $350 million; a fraction of which was amassed after her Formation World Tour that ended late 2016.

On Forbes’ Hip-Hop’s Richest acts list that was released last week, Beyoncé’s husband, Shawn ‘Jay Z’ Carter ranked second place with a total worth of $810million.

Although the couple earn their cash separately, they both have a significant stake in Tidal, the music streaming app Jay Z purchased in 2016. The Carters saw a huge boost in their fortune when Sprint made a $200million investment in Tidal that saw the company’s value shooting up to $600million in early 2017.

As individuals, Jay Z only just signed a 10-year deal worth $200million with Live Nation to partner on concert events. He said in a statement, “This renewed partnership is a testament to our longstanding relationship and the talented individuals at Live Nation. For the next ten years, we will continue redefining the live event landscape.”

Beyonce once told Forbes that she is never satisfied and boasted that she’s yet to meet anyone who works as hard as she does in her industry.

I Want My Mum Buried In Nigeria; says Moji Olaiya's Daughter

 

According to a source, the burial arrangement of recently deceased Yoruba actress, Moji Olaiya is causing an unexpected rift within the family.

The late actress was a practising Muslim who converted from Christianity as an adult, and certain members of her family are suggesting that she be interred today according to Muslim rites.

Moji’s first daughter is Adunoluwa, she is currently a 200 Level student of Babcock University.

However, her 20-year-old daughter, Adun is having none of that and insists that her mother’s corpse be brought back for burial in Nigeria.

Although family members ushered her into a secluded room to calm her down, the grieving young lady kept repeating that she wants to see her mother.

‘She must be brought back,’ Adun said. ‘I don’t care what anybody says, I just want my mother’s body’.
It could, however, be difficult to bury her the same day as internments are costly in developed countries.

In Canada where she died, funeral costs can rise as high as $15,000. Flying her body back on the other hand could cost around half that figure.
