Court Sends Okupe to Jail for N702m Scam

Doyin Okupe, former Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, and chieftain of the Labour party is to spend two years in prison following his conviction on December 19, 2022 by Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court Abuja.
In a well-considered judgment, the trial court held that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, successfully established its case against Okupe, that evidence before it established that the defendant had in the discharge of his official duties, accepted cash payments that were above the statutory threshold, without recourse to a financial institution. It was alleged that Okupe received funds from the office of the National Security Adviser, NSA, which he could not account for. He was convicted and sentenced to two years imprisonment on counts 34 to 59.
The charges are centered on accusations of receiving various sums ranging from N10million in different occasions from 2012 to 2015 from ONSA when he was senior special assistant on public affairs to former President Goodluck Jonathan.
The court however gave the defendant an option of N500,000 fine on each of the counts.

He was however discharged on counts one to 33 which bordered on money laundering and criminal breach of trust

Man Beats Ex-girlfriend For Refusing To Marry Him

A man identified as Atumu Treasure aka Oluwa Benz Richer, has been accused of beating his ex-girlfriend, Peace, for refusing to marry him.

It was reported that the couple went their separate ways six months ago in Irri, Isoko South Local Government Area, Delta State.

According to an activist, Israel Joe, who shared the story on his Instagram page, the man broke into Peace’s house with a spare key, locked the doors, and began beating and strangling her because she refused to marry him on Monday.

Joe said that it was neighbours who heard the lady's cries, that saved her from her estranged lover and got him arrested.

The activist went on to charge the Delta State Commissioner of Police, Ari Mohammed Ali, to ensure the suspect is charged to court, claiming his bail is being negotiated at the Oleh Police Station.

PHOTOS: World-record nonuplets return home to Mali from Morocco

A Malian mother who gave birth to nine babies in Morocco last year returned home on Tuesday with her infants.

The babies broke the Guinness World Record for the most children delivered in a single birth to survive.

Ahead of the birth in May 2021, the mother Halima Cissé, now 27, was flown to Morocco for specialist care.

Before returning they had been living with medical support in Casablanca.

Arriving back in the Malian capital, Bamako, in the early hours of Tuesday morning, the father Abdelkader Arby thanked the Malian government which he said had been helping the family financially.

"It's a lot of work but Allah, who gave us this blessing, will help us in their upbringing and taking care of them," he added.

I recently lost a pregnancy, actress Toyin Abraham reveals

Nollywood actress, Toyin Abraham, has revealed that she recently miscarried a pregnancy.

The actress said this in an interview on Channels Television’s ‘Rubbin Minds’ with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Sunday.

She also said people usually ask her when she will have another baby despite having a son and a stepdaughter with her husband, Kola Ajeyemi, adding that when the time is right, she will conceive and have another child.

Responding to a question about comments made at the time of the miscarriage about her weight, Abraham said she was body-shamed.

“I was actually pregnant, but I lost it. When it happened, I cried. I just wanted to have one or two more children and I’m done. Things happened. I was so bloated and everyone kept battering me! Saying ‘Look at you! You are too fat! Look at your husband! He is young.’

“But they don’t understand, so when they say all these things, guess what? I’m used to it. As an actress, you just have to or else you will just die of depression. Once I see it and if I am not okay with the comment and you keep going, I will just block you. I don’t have time for negative energy.”
