Yahaya Bello

The former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello has lost his bid to transfer his N80.2 billion fraud case from the FCT to his state.

This followed the ruling of Justice John Tsoho, the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, who dismissed Bello’s application seeking to transfer his case to Kogi State.

Justice Tsoho, on Monday, July 8, upheld the argument of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, that the case should remain in Abuja.

Bello is facing a 19-count charge of alleged money laundering, breach of trust, and misappropriation of public funds.

Despite denying the allegations, he has repeatedly failed to appear in court for his arraignment.

His lawyers had applied to transfer the trial to Lokoja, Kogi State. However, EFCC opposed the move, arguing that the alleged offences were committed partly in Kogi and Abuja, making either state a suitable venue for the trial.

In a letter signed by his Special Assistant, Joshua Ibrahim Aji, the Chief Judge agreed with EFCC, stating that the law permits the filing of the charge in either Abuja or Lokoja.

The judge also noted that two similar criminal charges are already being tried in the Federal High Court, Abuja and that transferring the case would be premature given the pending appeal.

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has opened up that he runs away from ladies.

According to him, he still avoids s3xual temptations despite his anointing and his age.

Citing the downfall of the biblical Samson, Adeboye advised both men and women to be wary of lust and to flee from sinful circumstances.

Adeboye made these remarks during the Ministers and Workers Conference of RCCG Americas 1.

In his words;

“Somebody says, at your age, why are you still running? I run faster than before because the closer you get to the finishing point, the more careful you must be.

“Some of you can say, ‘Daddy, what are you saying, are you still running?’ I run fast.

“With all your anointing?’ Does anointing turn your body to stone? Samson was anointed. Single-handedly, he killed a thousand soldiers. A woman finished him. I hope the boys are listening.

“You can say, ‘Is anybody still interested in an 82-year-old man?’ She is not interested in you but interested in putting an end to all the great works God has done through you.

“You see that woman smiling at you everywhere you go, she is there smiling, and she is not your wife, run.”

BBNaija star, Doyin David has claimed that she doesn’t know the cost of living in Nigeria.

According to her, she relies on others for tasks like shopping.

She stated this in a recent interview with media personality Olufemi Daniel on his podcast.

Doyin revealed that she doesn’t know the price of anything in Nigeria.

Although she doesn’t go to the market herself, she expressed empathy for Nigerians dealing with economic hardships.

She recounted a visit to the market where she was moved to tears by the struggles of ordinary Nigerians.

“I am the most detached Nigerian you can ever meet. I don’t even know what is happening. I don’t know the price of anything. I don’t go to the market. I send my chef, and they don’t tell me what the price is.”

“I hear there’s hardship in the country, and I sympathise with Nigerians. I’m sure that it’s tough. I know because wigs are more expensive. Makeup, nails, cars, houses—everything is more expensive. Those things I know. But I’m not really into tomatoes. I’m sure food is expensive.”

“It’s sad because people are suffering. I also went to the market one time in Ogba, and I cried that day because I saw how people were suffering. People were reacting to N50,000 like it was N5 million. That shows how badly people are suffering,”

“It’s very sad. We hope that we’ll have a country one day where the average Nigerian can at least feed. That should be the basics. But we are not there yet. I hope we get there one day. I don’t want to talk about politics because I don’t really know much about politics.”

“I just think Nigeria is a shithole with this kind of leadership. The issue is that the people that are obligated to care about us don’t care about us. I don’t know that there would be a solution anytime soon. So I tell people ‘Do your best to fend for yourself and family and if you have the opportunity to relocate abroad, do,’”

The family of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra has issued a warning to the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele.

The family warned him to steer clear of the case of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

Kanu’s younger brother, Kanunta Kanu, gave the warning in a statement on Sunday while reacting to a supposed prophecy recently released by the clergy regarding Kanu’s continuous incarceration by the Department of State Services, DSS.

Recall that Primate Ayodele, during the launch of his 30th “Warning to the Nations” at his church in Lagos, said that “Kanu should beg the government before he is released or else he will die in jail.”

However, piqued by the comment, Kanu’s family asked the clergy to focus on his church and stop making provocative utterances against their son.

The family claimed that Ayodele’s prophecies have nothing to do with God, asking the clergy to stop using their son’s name “to seek public attention and draw traffic.”

According to the statement, the “God whose mouthpiece Ayodele is claiming to be is a God of justice who does not punish the innocent.”

“Ayodele should be courageous enough to tell the world what God said about the murderous invasion of our family home that resulted in the death of our parents and the murder of 28 other innocent visitors to our home.

“The righteous God I know cannot count the masterminds of this atrocity guiltless and hold their victims accountable,” the statement added.
