The N40 billion stolen at First Bank was done by its manager of electronic products team, Tijani Muiz Adeyinka, the person responsible for handling transfer reversals. The final decision on reversals laid with him alone, instead of a team. Instead of ensuring reversals were done properly, he started diverting funds to a Zenith account owned by his wife. Over 2 years, he managed to steal N40 billion, which he later scattered to 1,190 accounts & used some to buy crypto. As I type this, Mr Adeyinka & his sweet baby boo have vanished. The scam was burst when a customer insisted on resolving non-reversal of funds.
DETAILS:
A First Bank employee identified as Tijani Muiz Adeyinka is now on the run after diverting N40 billion at the bank’s head office team in Iganmu, Lagos.
He allegedly diverted those funds to 98 bank accounts classified as first beneficiaries, including his wife’s.
The bank, with a market capitalization of ₦829 billion, reported the incident to the Nigerian Police Force on March 25, 2024, and obtained multiple court orders to freeze accounts connected to the stolen funds.
As reported by Tech Cabal, Tijani Muiz Adeyinka, the employee implicated in the scandal, held a managerial position in the electronic products team at First Bank’s headquarters in Iganmu, Lagos. Adeyinka, now a fugitive, allegedly diverted approximately ₦40 billion (around $29 million) over two years.
He purportedly exploited his role to misappropriate funds by directing customer reversal requests to a merchant account under his control. His ability to finalize transactions without additional approvals allowed the scheme to go unnoticed.
The fraud came to light following a customer complaint, prompting an internal review by the bank’s control unit, which uncovered numerous suspicious transactions. In response, First Bank alerted the police and pursued legal measures to mitigate the financial loss.
First Bank took proactive steps by obtaining three court orders between April 4 and April 8, 2024, to freeze hundreds of accounts suspected of receiving the diverted funds. Among the affected accounts were 98 classified as first beneficiaries, including one belonging to Adeyinka’s wife, as well as numerous second-tier accounts.
Court documents revealed that Adeyinka routed funds to his wife’s account at Zenith Bank, which then dispersed the money across 34 additional accounts. These accounts subsequently channeled the funds to 1,190 other accounts, creating a complex network of transactions to obscure the origin of the stolen funds.
In a statement to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police dated May 10, 2024, the bank affirmed its collaboration with law enforcement agencies to uncover the circumstances surrounding the fraud and apprehend all individuals involved.
“We hereby bring to your notice the discovery of fraudulent transactions into various transactions within and outside the bank and request your good offices to set up the machinery of investigation in place with a view to unravel the circumstances surrounding the said fraud and get the culprits apprehending to face the wrath of the law,” read a letter dated May 10, 2024, from First bank to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police.
Fraud remains a big issue in Nigeria.

FROM GRACE TO GRASS
This will sound unbelievable but it is true. I had a "rich" neighbour who nicknamed himself "Commissioner". He built this duplex within six months, bought six expensive cars within eight months. One of the exotic cars he drove, in fact the last one he bought was 46 million Naira as at 2015.
He was my neighbour, we shared a common fence. Hence, we could interact freely. Once he asked me how much was my salary, I told him 50k by then, he was so disappointed, saying he thought I earned up to 600k. He promised to take me to where I will make money. I smiled, and tactically applied breaks on our the speed of our relationship. He told me I am too brilliant to be a poor man. I told him I was not poor but rich. Apart from bearing "rich" as a name, I told him I was rich in contentment.
He flaunted wealth and affluence but I told him in any case, it is the ambition of everyone to be rich, especially where your hand could not reach. It never mattered to me that he was a younger person to me, his fleeting wealth never caught my attention.
I was still in my supposed poverty when I started hearing stories, and the stories are still there till today. First, his wife left him, and the two children they had, he does not know where they are today.
When I was transferred to Bayelsa State, I was called one evening to come to the traffic light at Ibom Specialist Hospital in Uyo, that my neighbour was running mad. I told the people that even if I were I were a psychiatrist, my "colleagues" are also there in Uyo. Why would I be drafted from Yenagoa to come and pick a patient.
Another time I was in Uyo, and it happened again, and I went to see it with my eyes, and I wept. I saw him in a church where they took him for deliverance.
Since then, life has never been the same again for him. I used to hear about grass to grace but my neighbour's is grace to grace. If at all that was grace.
The man who owned sleek poche cars could not afford to pay a tricycle to move from one location to another. He trekked freely but out of shame was nocturnal in his movements. He sold most of the cars, while others were confiscated for alleged debt.
The house he built, he sold everything in it, and left it a carcass. He sold his water tanks, the tank stands, water pump, electric wires, bulbs, electric pole, DStv, chairs, and everything you could think of in a house or compound.
The house was just remaining the walls and the roof, and he lived there till he was sent away by hunger and trauma.
Today, to my greatest chagrin, the court came to auction the house with a mini court session in front of my neighbour's compound, sorry my former neighbour. The house which was the only thing remaining from that intimidating wealth has gone today, and my neighbour is free from the troubles of this world. As a journalist, I asked the officials questions. They told me he sold somebody's landed property and diverted her money. Since he could not refund, the lady went to court, and the court sold the house after one week's notice.
I now have a new neighbour. I have also learnt a lesson about life. Even when his name is patience, he never had it. He cruised on a wrong lane, and I think he has crashed.
I feel for him but since the house will soon be occupied by people, at least, snakes will reduce around this area. Their habit will be invaded. My former neighbour, is now a confirmed former rich man. He has crashed landed from the pinnacle of stupendous wealth (considering his age) to the abyss of shameful poverty. In less than eight years, he has seen the extremes of wealth and lack.
We should all be patient in life, and get wealthy at God's appointed time!

“Labour initially demanded ₦600,000, which equates to approximately ₦9.9 trillion for the federal government. Where do we get that money from? Then labour reduced it to ₦400,000, which still amounts to over ₦5 trillion.

Bongos Ikwue is 82 years old a day ago
Wishig Bongos Ikwue a happy birthday (born in Otukpo, Benue State in east-central Nigeria, of Idoma ethnicity on June 6, 1942. His father was a farmer and Bongos childhood was filled with the events of simple country living. Enamored of all types of music at an early age he absorbed everything he heard: traditional music and folk tales of the Idoma people, a wide array of American styles including gospel, country, blues, jazz and R & B, Cuban and other Caribbean styles that he absorbed from the radio and his brother’s record collection, and of course myriad popular African styles.
He began writing songs at an early age but his parents pushed him to pursue a respectable profession and sent him off to school. As he continued his songwriting efforts, he formed his first band, the Cubana Boys. While studying engineering at Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, he formed another band, the UniBello Brothers, as well as a folk group; he even learned Irish songs from an expatriate lecturer.
In 1967 he formed Bongos & The Groovies, which rapidly became a popular performing and recording ensemble that featured Bongos’ evolving original, highly personal style of Nigerian pop. He didn’t pattern his music after any artist nor did it fit any existing style. A recording contract with EMI led to numerous hits such as “Lagos”, “Tell My Girl”, “You Can’t Hurry The Sunrise” and “Otachikpokpo” and best-selling albums. His song “Cock Crow At Dawn” became the theme song of a popular Nigerian TV soap opera that ran into the Nineties.
But where other Nigerian artists such as Sunny Ade, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Sonny Okosun and OJ Ekemode saw their music released internationally and toured abroad, the only Bongos recording to be released internationally was his hit “Still Searching”, which appeared on BLACK STARLINER, a compilation of African popular music released in the Seventies.
After three decades of performing he scaled back his musical activity and devoted more time to his entrepreneurial activities, which included owning and running a furniture factory. But in the new millennium, some of his vintage hits were included on such acclaimed compilations as Nigeria 70 and Nigeria Disco Funk Special which sparked a resurgence of interest in Afro-pop from Nigeria and other West African countries. Bongos’ song “Inale” was the theme to an award-winning film produced by his daughter Keke; the soundtrack, which Bongos composed, won an award for Best Soundtrack at the 2011 African Movie Academy Awards.
Wish the legend a happy birthday and many happy returns of the day.
Labour Party To NLC: Don't Throw Nigerians Into More Hardship, Accept FG's N60k
The Labour Party in Nigeria has called on the workers’ unions to re-negotiate with the government on a new minimum wage rather than embarking on industrial action.
The National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, Obiora Ifoh, made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Lagos State.
Ifoh added that the labour union should continue to engage the Federal Government on a figure that would be acceptable to both parties.
“Negotiation should continue until they get something better. Asking Nigerian workers to stay at home will affect everything, including the cost of living and Nigerians cannot afford that now.
“Negotiation is not a one-off thing. If the Federal Government is not willing to go above N60,000 minimum wage, I think that the Organised Labour should work with what is available while it continues to negotiate.
“We know this government has not gotten it right. It is still trying to test the waters,” he added.
