The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has announced the sentencing of two notorious drug kingpins, Uwaezuoke Ikenna Christian and Agbo Chidike Prince, to life imprisonment. This decision concludes their extensive involvement in cocaine trafficking spanning continents.

Uwaezuoke's journey to a lifetime behind bars began with his arrest on March 19, 2022, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. Found in possession of 100 large wraps of cocaine weighing 2.243 kilograms, he was subsequently arraigned at the Federal High Court in Abuja. Despite being granted bail, Uwaezuoke absconded, leading to the revocation of his bail and an arrest warrant issued against him.

NDLEA operatives rearrested Uwaezuoke on August 1, 2023, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos. He was attempting to export 1.822 kilograms of cocaine to India using a different passport and identity. Rearraigned before Justice Nicholas Oweibo of the Federal High Court in Lagos, Uwaezuoke pleaded guilty to charges and was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment or a fine of ₦1,500,000.00.

Transferred to Abuja to face another importation case, Uwaezuoke pleaded guilty once more before Justice Joyce Obehi Abdulmalik. Despite his plea, the court sentenced him to life imprisonment, citing his lack of remorse and repeat offences.

In the case of Agbo Chidike Prince, he was arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on October 21, 2023. Found with 49 wraps of cocaine weighing 998.73 grams, he pleaded guilty to the charges before Justice Joyce Obehi Abdulmalik. Despite pleas from his counsel, Prince was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment on April 15, 2024, due to the seriousness of the offence and the commercial quantity of the drug.

The Federal Government has commenced the demolition of structures situated on the government's right of way for the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway construction project. David Umahi, the Minister of Works, flagged off the demolition during an interaction with journalists on Saturday.

Umahi clarified that the demolition primarily targeted shanties erected on the government's right of way and emphasized that no infrastructure belonging to the Landmark beach resort was affected. Despite assertions from Landmark, Umahi affirmed that the coastal project would proceed as planned.

"Landmark has unfortunately made so much noise about this. I have revisited the place, and I can say none of his infrastructure is affected. Just the shanties are affected and they are bulldozed already," Umahi stated.

He reiterated the importance of the coastal road project and emphasized that it falls within the legitimate right-of-way of the federal government. Umahi assured that those affected by the demolition would receive adequate compensation, with documentation set to commence on May 2-3.

Bolaji Ariyo, CEO of Mami Chula Beach, expressed support for the project's vision despite the inconvenience it may cause to some individuals. "Some of us are affected, no doubt about it, but those affected are not up to 0.1% of the millions that will enjoy the coastal roads," Ariyo stated.

A recent protest by Landmark employees highlighted concerns over the sand filling of the beach for road construction. However, Ariyo emphasized the broader benefits of the project, aligning with the government's efforts to improve infrastructure nationwide.

The Lagos State Police Command has initiated a thorough investigation into the tragic demise of a prominent figure, identified as Gihan Mbelu, aged 42, who served as the chairman of the Victoria Garden City in the Lekki area of the state.

According to reports circulating on social media, the financial adviser and venture capitalist was discovered unconscious in his C300 4Matic car around 10:10 am on Friday, April 26, 2024, within the vicinity of VGC.

Concerned individuals, noticing the vehicle had been running for an extended period at the spot where it was parked, decided to investigate further. Upon closer examination, they found Mbelu inside the vehicle, unresponsive.

The news of Mbelu's sudden passing sent shockwaves through the community, prompting the authorities to launch a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.

The spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident on Saturday, April 27, acknowledging that an investigation has been initiated to unravel the mysteries surrounding Mbelu's untimely demise.

Until his unfortunate passing, Mbelu was married to Eloho, a distinguished tech entrepreneur, former investment banker, and private equity investor. The couple leaves behind two daughters.

Conflicting reports emerged regarding the timing of the incident, with one source indicating it occurred on Friday evening, while another claimed it happened on Saturday morning.

According to eyewitnesses, the couple, in a troubling escalation of conflict, sent their older child on an errand before locking themselves inside their apartment to confront each other.

Disturbed by the commotion, concerned neighbors attempted to intervene, only to find themselves locked out of the couple's apartment. Some individuals resorted to removing portions of the ceiling to gain access, only to discover a harrowing sight.

"They met the deceased and her husband with injuries all over their bodies. The woman was unconscious and was immediately rushed to the hospital but she gave up the ghost before they got to the hospital," the source recounted.

Authorities have been notified of the tragic incident, and the man has been taken to an undisclosed hospital for treatment under police supervision. The matter is currently under investigation by law enforcement officials.

In a candid revelation, former Big Brother Titans reality star Yvonne Godwin has shared a tumultuous episode from her past, recounting how she took drastic measures against her ex-boyfriend for failing to commit to marriage.

During an appearance on the popular Cool FM programme, "The Big Friday Show With Tach," Yvonne detailed the explosive confrontation that ensued when she discovered her pilot ex-boyfriend was keeping their relationship under wraps.

According to Yvonne, the secrecy surrounding their relationship deeply unsettled her, prompting her to confront him about the issue. In response, her ex-boyfriend allegedly cited his elder sister's unmarried status as the reason for withholding their relationship from the public eye.

Infuriated by what she perceived as a feeble excuse, Yvonne confessed to resorting to destructive behavior, admitting to vandalizing her ex-boyfriend's car by bursting the tires and smashing the windscreen. Additionally, she revealed pouring Jik, a household cleaning product, on all of his pilot uniforms in a fit of rage.

Reflecting on her actions, Yvonne attributed the incident to "youthful exuberance," underscoring the intensity of emotions that fueled her reaction at the time.

However, despite the tumultuous past, Yvonne has since moved on and is currently romantically involved with fellow Big Brother Titans reality star, Juicy Jay from South Africa.

Yvonne's candid revelation offers insight into the complexities of relationships and the emotional turbulence that can arise when expectations are not met.

A Nigerian man, identified as Eneh Davidson Caleb, along with his Vietnamese wife Nguyen Thi Thanh Thuy, and 11 accomplices, have been arrested in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on charges of money laundering and illicit money trafficking across borders.

The arrest, which took place on Saturday, April 27, 2024, by HCMC police, follows reports of fraudulent activities involving a company in Ukraine, which had fallen victim to a criminal syndicate operating with forged email addresses. The company had unknowingly transferred funds into bank accounts located in HCMC, as per the fraudsters' instructions.

Upon tracing the money trail, investigators uncovered a sophisticated network involving foreign and Vietnamese collaborators. The criminal ring allegedly operated over 250 companies, utilizing fraudulent bank accounts to facilitate their illicit activities.

Law enforcement authorities identified 13 suspects linked to the case, leading to raids conducted at 12 locations to seize physical evidence. At Caleb and his wife's residence, authorities confiscated 234 seals belonging to the companies implicated in the money laundering scheme.

According to investigators, the syndicate deceived foreign companies into transferring funds to Vietnam under the guise of legitimate business partnerships. The laundered money would then be transferred internationally multiple times before being withdrawn and transported to Cambodia.

During raids at identified locations, including the Yen Sao Kingfood facility and the Duc Long gold shop, authorities seized substantial amounts of cash, totaling VND9 billion ($355,099) and $1.5 million, along with other foreign currencies. Initial estimates suggest that the total value of illegal transactions at the Duc Long gold shop exceeded VND13 trillion.

The arrests mark a significant breakthrough in combating transnational financial crimes, with ongoing investigations aimed at dismantling the entire criminal network and bringing all perpetrators to justice.

In a recent development, the Kaduna Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has brought four suspects before Justice A.A Bello of the Kaduna State High Court on charges of obstruction of lawful duty and assault against EFCC officers.

According to a statement released by the commission on Saturday, April 27, 2024, the suspects—identified as Rukayya Ahmed Mustapha, Sadiya Usman Mohammed, Ameera Uthman, and Nafisat Usman—were arraigned on Wednesday, each facing one-count separate charges related to obstruction of lawful duty.

The charge against Sadiya Usman Mohammed alleges that she "willfully obstructed officers of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) while carrying out an official assignment (effecting a lawful arrest at No. 13 Jafar Organizer Street, Rigachukun, Kaduna)" on April 15, 2024, contravening Section 38(2)(a) of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (Establishment) Act, 2004.

During the proceedings, all four suspects pleaded not guilty to the charges, prompting the prosecution counsel, K.S Ogunlade, to request a trial date and seek the remand of the defendants. Justice Bello, after considering the arguments from both sides, remanded three of the suspects at the Kaduna Correctional Centre, while Sadiya Usman Mohammed, who is a nursing mother, was remanded in EFCC custody. The case was adjourned to May 2, 2024, for the hearing of bail applications.

The suspects were apprehended for obstructing EFCC officers in their attempt to arrest Hadiza Usman, who had repeatedly evaded arrest after jumping bail. In the process of apprehending Hadiza, the four suspects allegedly launched a physical assault on EFCC operatives, with one operative reportedly bitten on the collarbone and another on the left hand.

Despite the resistance encountered, EFCC officers managed to maintain composure and professionalism, successfully apprehending the suspects without resorting to violence.

This incident highlights the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies in the discharge of their duties and underscores the importance of upholding the rule of law in the face of adversity.

Ahmedu Augustine Obiabo, popularly known as Blackface, a renowned dancehall singer and former member of the iconic Plantashun Boiz group, has cast doubt on the possibility of a reunion for the once-celebrated musical trio.

Plantashun Boiz, comprised of Blackface, 2Face (now known as 2Baba), and Faze, emerged as a dominant force in the Nigerian music scene during the late 1990s and early 2000s. However, internal discord led to their initial split in 2004, with a brief reunion in 2007 before parting ways once again.

In a recent interview with Channels TV, Blackface conveyed his skepticism about the likelihood of the group reuniting, emphasizing the lack of initiative from his former bandmates.

"I don't see that [Plantashun Boiz reunion] happening," Blackface remarked candidly. "If it is something that would have happened, the members would have deemed it fit to sit down and discuss going forward. Of which they haven't done and don't want to do. I don't want to cajole someone into doing what they don't want to do."

Regarding his relationship with his ex-bandmates, Blackface revealed a cordial association with Faze and the family of 2Baba, but admitted to a strained personal rapport with the latter.

"I talk to Faze and I talk to brothers of Innocent Idibia [2Baba]. His family are all my friends. But personally, me and him, we have nothing to discuss," Blackface explained. "It has to be business. There is no need waiting for who is not ready to be committed to a project."

Blackface's remarks underscore the complex dynamics that often accompany the dissolution of musical groups and the challenges of reconciling personal differences in pursuit of artistic collaboration. As fans continue to speculate about the fate of Plantashun Boiz, it appears that the prospect of a reunion remains uncertain, with each member charting their own musical journey forward.

In a recent development, the Benin Traditional Council (BTC) has announced the suspension of five functionaries in the Benin Kingdom, citing their involvement in sacrilegious behavior contrary to Benin customs and traditions.

According to a statement released by the BTC and signed by the Iyase (Prime Minister) of Benin, Chief Sam Ugbe, the suspension was prompted by the functionaries' visit to the Ooni of Ife, during which they falsely represented themselves as emissaries of the Oba of Benin.

The statement identified the suspended individuals as Johnbull Igbinosun, Iduhonre (Ihogbe), S.E. Aigbiremwen, Efesieoghoba (Ogbelaka), along with two other Ogbelaka functionaries named Ogbeide Osagie and Osamudiame Edo.

During their visit to the Ooni of Ife, the functionaries purportedly proclaimed themselves as subjects of the Ooni and provided inaccurate and disjointed accounts of the historical connection between the Benin Royal Dynasty and the Ooni-ship of Ife.

While refraining from reiterating the well-established historical ties between the two thrones, the BTC urged the public to disregard the misleading narratives presented by the suspended individuals.

To provide clarity on the matter, the BTC directed the public to refer to the authoritative account of the connection between the Benin Royal Dynasty and the Ooni-ship of Ife as documented in the book titled "I Remain, Sir, Your Obedient Servant" authored by the late Oba Erediauwa, Oba of Benin.

Describing the conduct of the functionaries as inappropriate and sacrilegious, the BTC emphasized the gravity of their actions, which it deemed as disrespectful to traditional history and damaging to the reputation of Benin custom.

In accordance with the authority vested in the Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, His Royal Majesty Oba Ewuare II, Oba of Benin, as the Prescribed Authority over Benin Custom, the BTC announced the immediate suspension of the identified individuals from their roles as Benin traditional functionaries.

The general public has been advised to refrain from engaging with the suspended functionaries in any traditional capacity throughout the duration of their suspension.

In a controversial move, the Iraqi parliament has approved legislation imposing severe penalties for same-sex relations and gender identity, sparking outrage among human rights activists and LGBTQ+ advocates.

Under the newly passed bill, individuals found guilty of engaging in same-sex relations could face imprisonment of up to 15 years, marking a significant escalation in the criminalization of LGBTQ+ rights in the country.

Furthermore, transgender individuals will be subject to a three-year jail sentence under amendments to a 1988 anti-prostitution law, reflecting a broader crackdown on gender identity rights.

The legislation, which was endorsed during a parliamentary session attended by 170 out of 329 lawmakers, underscores the conservative social attitudes prevailing in Iraqi society.

While an earlier draft proposed capital punishment for same-sex relations, the revised amendments authorize courts to impose sentences ranging from 10 to 15 years in prison for such offenses.

Moreover, the law imposes stringent penalties on individuals deemed to be "promoting" same-sex relations, mandating a minimum seven-year prison term for advocacy or support of LGBTQ+ rights.

In a move criticized by human rights organizations, the amended law criminalizes gender reassignment surgery performed for personal reasons, branding it as a punishable offense. Transgender individuals and medical professionals involved in gender-affirming procedures could face imprisonment of up to three years.

The passage of this legislation has elicited condemnation from international human rights groups, who have decried the infringement of basic rights and freedoms, particularly for marginalized LGBTQ+ communities.

As Iraq grapples with ongoing social and political challenges, the enactment of laws targeting same-sex relations and gender identity serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need to safeguard human rights and promote inclusivity within the nation.

In his post, Buchi vehemently condemned the practice of watching porn, equating it with infidelity and warning of its potential to undermine the sanctity of marriage.

His remarks have sparked discussions among Christian communities, with many expressing support for his stance on safeguarding marital fidelity and moral values.

Buchi's advocacy against pornography serves as a timely reminder of the importance of upholding ethical standards within marital relationships, particularly in the context of Christian values and teachings.

A tragic incident unfolded at the Lekki/Ikoyi Link Bridge in Lagos as a man identified as Azeez reportedly lost his life after jumping into the Lagos lagoon while being pursued by a mob for purportedly stealing bags of cement.

According to reports from the Director of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), upon arrival at the scene, Azeez was found lifeless in the water, having drowned during the incident.

Nigerian Afrobeat sensation, Rema, has stirred controversy on social media with a series of tweets lambasting his record label, Mavin Records, over what he perceives as "fake" publicity.

The drama unfolded when Mavin Records, via their official Twitter account, announced that Rema was gearing up for a new project. Rema, seemingly caught off guard, retweeted the post with apparent incredulity, questioning the authenticity of the announcement.

In subsequent tweets, Rema openly criticized Mavin Records for what he deemed as a lack of originality and urged them to refrain from exploiting him for publicity stunts. He expressed frustration, urging the label to "get creative" and cease their attempts to mimic his style.

The artist's outburst underscored tensions within the music industry, shedding light on the complexities of artist-label relationships and the pursuit of authenticity in creative endeavors.
