American Posing As ‘Nigerian Prince’ Arrested For Fraud

A 67-year-old American advance fee fraudster Michael Neu posing as a Nigerian prince has been arrested by the police in Louisiana.

He was said to have duped hundreds of people across America using emails and face 269 counts of wire fraud and money laundering following an 18-month investigation, police said in a facebook post.

Police in Slidell, Louisiana, say they finally caught up with one of the people behind some of those emails. He’s not exactly Nigerian royalty, either, police wrote in a Facebook post.

According to The Sacramento Bee anyone with an email address has likely gotten a message from the so-called Nigerian prince or two offering hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars in secret inheritances or, in some cases, payment for assistance laundering ill-gotten gains from mining conglomerates or royal treasuries.

In these scams, the supposed Nigerian prince (or other official) asks for the person’s personal banking information in order to speed the transfer of the purported inheritance or temporarily hold the allegedly pilfered funds. The information can then be used to withdraw funds from the victim’s accounts.

While Neu might lack a royal title, at least some of the money obtained in his scams did go to co-conspirators in Nigeria, police wrote. Investigators are continuing to untangle Neu’s web of scams, but many other leads also connect to people outside the U.S., the post says.

Police noted that while these kinds of emails are laughable to many people, authorities report millions of dollars in losses to such scams each year.

“If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is,” said Police Chief Randy Fandal in the Facebook post. “Never give out personal information over the phone, through e-mail, cash checks for other individuals, or wire large amounts of money to someone you don’t know. 99.9 percent of the time, it’s a scam.”

Law enforcement agencies across the nation also are warning people of calls from scammers purporting to be police or court officials demanding payment via phone of bogus fines or warrants. Another version involves scammers claiming to be jailed relatives pleading for bail money, often targeting older people.

The Ogun State Police Command on Thursday arrested one Andrew Koku for allegedly killing his six-month-old baby, Precious Koku.

The father of one confessed that he killed the baby because he was afraid that his wife was about to leave him for another man.

The suspect was arrested following a complaint from mother of the baby, Omowumi Teleda to the Adigbe Police Division.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confiming the incident, said Precious’ mother explained that the baby was hale and hearty when she left home, adding that she was surprised that that the baby had died when she returned.

The PPRO said, “The development made her to suspect her husband, who happened to be the only person with the baby.

Pandemonium as soldiers, police clash in Ekiti

A group of newly trained army recruits of Ekiti State origin on Thursday clashed with police officers in Ado-Ekiti, following disagreements over what was believed to be extortion of motorists by the soldiers.

In the process, the soldiers beat up and stabbed a police corporal, Abdulkadir Yakub, who had challenged their illegal activity at the Fajuyi Roundabout.

A witness said Mr. Yakub, a traffic police officer posted at the roundabout, was attacked after he challenged the soldiers for extorting money from motorists and causing a traffic gridlock.

Mr. Yakub reportedly sustained deep cuts in the head and buttocks, as he was said to have been stabbed by one of the recruits.

Witnesses said the young soldiers, who were about 17 in number, were returning from the governor’s office after a courtesy visit to Governor Ayodele Fayose when they stopped at the roundabout and started extorting motorists.

Another police corporal, Monday Agom, who paired Mr. Yakub at the post, recalled that the incident occurred at about 2.00 p.m., after Mr. Yakub pleaded with the soldiers not to cause a traffic gridlock by their activity at the roundabout.

“One of the soldiers stopped a man in mufti who happened to be a policeman right in his car and demanded the car key, while Yakub was trying to pass him to allow for the next person in line, so as to free traffic which was already building up,” Mr. Agom explained.

“Yakub then explained to him (the attacker) that the man he stopped is a police officer and that he should allow him to go as stopping him there would cause hold-up.

“This statement infuriated the soldier who immediately slapped Yakub, before bringing out a jack-knife with which he started cutting him at several parts of the body.

“I then joined other people to rescue Yakub from the soldier, who was shouting ‘I will kill you, idiot; I will kill you, idiot.”

He added that other soldiers also joined in punching Yakub who was already dripping with blood.

The situation degenerated when mobile police officers whose station was close to the scene, mobilised themselves and attacked the soldiers in reprisal.

It was learnt that one of the soldiers also sustained head injuries in the fracas.

A captain in Charge of Army Operations in Ekiti, Joshua Zoaka, who raced to the scene to save the situation was said to have been attacked during the fight, as the police officers confronted his team with tear-gas.

Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer in Ekiti, Alberto Adeyemi, a superintendent of police, said the incident had been reported to the Brigade Commander of the 32 Artillery Brigade in Akure, Ondo State.

“The soldiers, numbering 17, who were Ekiti State indigenes, just came back from a recruitment exercise in Zaria, Kaduna State and were in governor’s office for possible assistance from the governor,” said the police spokesman.

“They chose to make some money by stopping motorists at the Fajuyi roundabout, during which arguments arose with traffic wardens on duty, one of which they stabbed with a jack-knife.

“However the situation is under control as the Brigade Commander, Akure Division, was contacted and has come to pick up the recruits to face possible departmental questioning and sanctions.”

Wizkid Might Visit Davido At Home, Maybe Planning A Music Collaboration Which Will Shake Africa

Yes! you heard it here first. After Wizkid’s concert stunt he played on his fans and lovers of entertainment, where Davido performed with him, we all got to realize that, the sworn enemies had buried their hatchet and moved on with their lives.

Not only have they moved on, they have become closer than they used to be in the early years of their music career. For those of us (lovers of Davido and good music) who were present at Eko Hotels for Davido’s 30 Billion Concert or watched it from video clips released by those in attendance, recall how Davido introduced Wizkid on stage to perform Manya..

In Davido’s words:

 Now, let’s welcome my new best friend, Wizkid.

Well, a verified inside source, says that Wizkid and Davido have not only been showing themselves love in the past weeks but have also been physically chilling with themselves. Yes! It is said that, Wizkid paid a visit to Davido’s humble abode few days back, though on a low key.

That same source says that, Davido and Wizkid are cooking a jam which will not only shake Nigeria but will move through all the countries in Africa, then Europe, America, Asia and the rest of the continents.

Yes, it is that big! Let’s call this the African version of 2pac and Biggie’s collaboration (which we never got. May their souls rest in peace).

Well, I can only imagine what this will bring out, the cash they will make from sales and distribution through Sony might make them retire earlier than they ought to because, anything coming from these two African legends will definitely shake the world.. We are patiently waiting.

My husband bought an iPhone 6 for our housemaid — Nigerian woman cries out

A Nigerian Married woman has written to relationship blogger, Joro, about her Husband’s special treatment of the maid, and how her mother is against her because of the money she gets from her son in-law.

Here’s what she wrote to Joro ;

Hi Joro, thank you for your time and generosity here. The least i can say is God Bless you since we don’t pay you. To my issue, apart from the fuel crisis. i am in sadness and loneliness. My Husband bought an iPhone 6 for the Maid.

I had a serious problem with it and i told my mother who has been living my husband and myself for 3 years.

My mother said it’s not a problem that it’s for better communication. I finally confronted my husband on Tuesday. He said what’s the big deal that my mother approved of it.

This girl is 17 but she has big boobs and ass. I’m sure she’s sleeping with the neighbours. I buy her 3000 naira attachment but i saw all the hairs i bought her this year in the Dustbin.

My husband had asked me how much and where i get my hair from ? Joro I am upset, I threatened to ask her to leave but my mother said no that she is very useful and my husband forbids it. I would lose my mind if my husband is having an affair with this girl.

What do i do when my mother is against me because of the money my husband gives her. And my own is upset and isn’t talking to me.

I want her out.
What do i do?
