The couple

 

There is a saying that ''we find love in strange place''. That is the case of an unnamed newly married couple who met via the largest social media platform in the world, Facebook with the lady taking the bold step of sending him a friend quest after which communications kicked off.

 

Read the romantic experience below:

"About 5 years ago precisely in January 2011 while on a business trip overseas on a particular morning at the hotel lobby, I noticed a friend request from a face I thought looked appealing to my eyes. I accepted.

"We chatted a few times then met for the first time after 6 months(in June 2011) and like they say the rest is history. Fast forward to January 2016, on the 9th and the 16th, we had our traditional and white wedding respectively and presently enjoying our honeymoon in Dubai which is the city where I was in January 2011 when I received that famous friend request.

"I thought you might use our story to encourage other girls to go ahead and send that friend request or DM. Lol"

Police Arrest 57-year-old Celebrity Who Had S*x with 13-year-old He met on a Sugar Daddy Website (Photos)

A popular actor and respected business man has found himself in trouble after he slept with a 13-year-old girl he met on a sugar daddy website.

Ex-Dragons’ Den star, Doug Richard

 

An ex-Dragons’ Den star paid a 13-year-old girl hundreds of pounds for a grotesque sex session after meeting her on a 'sugar daddy' website, a court heard today.

 

Doug Richard, 57, allegedly spanked the teenager's bottom after arranging for her and a 15-year-old friend to join him at a £149-a-night apartment in London.

 

The Californian admits sexual activity with the girl but he claims it was consensual and he believed she was at least 16.

 

The Old Bailey heard how the businessman, who quit the BBC show after famously failing to invest a penny in the second series, paid the two teenagers £480 for the sordid session.

 

The married father-of-three had met the girl through an American website called Seeking Arrangements, where she had advertised herself as a "sugar baby", the jury heard.

 

The self-described "sugar daddy", who once acted as an advisor to Prime Minister David Cameron, asked the youngster if she could meet him after school.

 

But he told her he would wait until the following week if she sent him naked photos, adding: “Less clothing more revealing positions.”

After she sent the snaps in December 2014, Richard replied: “Think of that as your first task for your daddy. Get it wrong and I will just have to spank you.”

 

Prosecuting, Gino Connor said: “The male was an experienced 56-year-old at the time.

“It should have put him on notice, at that point having seen the photos of her that she was young, 13-years-old.”

 

Richard later used PayPal to transfer £120 and bought train tickets for her and her friend to travel from their home town of Norwich to London on January 2 last year, it is claimed.

 

He allegedly took the girls to a coffee shop near Liverpool Street station before saying: “Let's go somewhere private.”

 

Once back at the Bishopsgate apartment he asked the older girl if she wanted to be his slave, jurors were told.

 

The court heard that when she refused and told him she was not “into sex” he kissed her using his tongue, but she backed off and thought it was “horrible and smokey”.

 

Richard (second left) appeared in the first and second series of Dragons' Den

 

Richard then ordered the younger girl to strip and remove his own clothing, it was said. Mr Connor said the American then ordered her to perform a sex act on him, which she did, before he said: “Let's go to bed.”

 

The 13-year-old's friend refused Richard's invitation to watch, but she could hear what was happening in the room.

 

Mr Connor continued: “After he had finished they both dressed and the defendant gave the two girls £60 each."

 

Richard later transferred another £120 using PayPal to the girls, after once again asking the older girl if she was interested in having sex with him. Police were called after her mother noticed the transfer and Richard was arrested at the plush £115-a-night Lord Milner Hotel, in Belgravia, central London.

 

Richard said: “As you can see I'm in quite a lot of trouble. What if I thought she was over 16 but she was in fact under 16.”

When officers advised him to talk to his lawyer, Richard said: “Under 16, wow.”

 

Richard, of Islington, North London, denies three counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child, one count of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and a charge of paying for sexual services of a child.

 

The trial continues and is expected to last five days.I

#DasukiGate: See the Pretty Lady Witness Who Told Court She Helped Olisa Metuh Exchange $2m (Photo)

Embattled PDP spokesman, Olisa Metuh who is standing trial for allegedly collecting N400 million from ex NSA, Dasuki's office has been dealt with another blow in court today in Abuja.

Olisa Metuh arriving in court today in Abuja

 

At a Federal High Court in Abuja today, two witnesses brought by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), told the court how the embattled spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh, and his company, Dextra Investments Limited, transferred the sum of $2million collected from the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki.

 

Nneka Ararume, the first prosecution witness who is a wealth manager dealing in management of equities, fixed income instruments and real estate, said she collected the sum of $2 million dollars from Olisa Metuh sometime in December 2014.

 

 

She added that she changed the dollars into Nigerian currency and had it transferred to Metuh’s account. "He gave me the sum of $2m in $100 bills. It was taken to bureau de change operators who would then transfer the money to ARM. From there (Metuh’s house) I proceeded to Mr. Sie Iyenome’s office at Wuse 2 where I gave him the sum of $1m.

I also invited Mr. Kabir Mohammed and I also gave him the sum of $1m to transfer the naira equivalent in favour of Destra Investment Limited. Later on the same day, December 2, 2014, Mr. Kabir and Mr. Sie Iyenome confirmed the receipt," she said.

 

A bureau de change operator who is the second witness, said he had the sum of $1 million dollars exchanged to N183 million and transferred to the account of Dextra Investments Limited. He disclosed that he had no knowledge of either Metuh or his company, Dextra investment Limited, before that time.

 

Both witnesses were cross-examined by the defence counsel as the trial was later adjourned till tomorrow for the prosecution to call more witnesses.

 

The prosecuting counsel said he had 16 more witnesses.

New Research Reveals the Secret to a Lasting Relationship

A new research has made shocking revelation of the secret to a lasting relationship, but many will surely doubt it.

 

Sure, they might make the rest of us gag but selfies may be the secret for successful couples. Those smug, loved-up couples you see on Facebook may be on to something.

 

New research has found that couples who regularly post selfies and write on each other's walls are more likely to go the distance (or at least, they were more likely to reach their six month anniversary.

 

Why? It's likely due to the 'public commitment theory',where posting mementos of your romance online helps you see your relationships from the perspective of your friends and family. Basically, if your Facebook posts seem perfect, your own perception of your relationship may seem perfect in real life, too.

 

One surprising finding: the more mutual Facebook friends a couple had, the less likely they were to be together in six month's time.

The Facebook test may be a more appropriate relationship test for modern times.

Five Undeniable Signs He's Your Soulmate

Finding love is a sweet thing; but, finding your soulmate is far more sweeter. The following signs will guide you on how to know if he is the chosen one.

 

You think he is your soulmate and yet don't know if he really is the chosen one? Check out these undeniable signs by Zahra Barnes.

 

1. He's not your usual type

"People will give you a shopping list of what they think they're looking for, but that's often not who they wind up with," says Fay Goldman, the founder of matchmaking service Meaningful Connections. The whole point is that if you have a usual type and it keeps not working out, a guy who deviates from your cookie-cutter dating past might be worth sticking with. This is especially true if you're open to introducing him to some of your passions and trying some of his. "When you're excited to have new interests, meeting someone very different can completely expand your world,"says Goldman.

 

2. You like the same food

"Being aligned in your food preferences can actually say a lot about compatibility," says Wexler. Maybe you're both vegetarians or you both love trying new cuisine. You get the idea. As long as you're on the same general page about what you want to put in your bellies, you're golden. "Things like one person being an adventurous eater while the other is very picky can become a bigger issue than you'd think,"says Wexler. "And if one person has dietary restrictions while the other doesn't, that can also cause problems down the road."

 

3. He seems too nice

Sometimes you think you're into a guy, but he seems a little too...sweet. Examine that feeling, says Goldman. It's one thing if you think that sexism is lurking under his politeness or if you just can't see yourself being attracted to him in the first place. But if you weren't interested until he showed real interest in you, he might be just what you need. "Women often go for bad boys because that's what they're attracted to," says Goldman. "In the long run, you need someone who's the opposite of that." This still stands if you think you could be attracted to him but you aren't sure. "Sometimes you get to know someone and their personality sparks something," says Goldman.

 

4. You've got the same sense of timing

Whether you're both always on time or running 15 minutes behind, having a synced-up sense of punctuality is a hint that you could work together. "If you're always on time and he's usually 15 minutes late, you'll start to feel like he doesn't respect your time," says Wexler. It's likely that you've been there before with friends, impatiently tapping your feet while they text that they're on their way when you're already at the destination. Maybe you've been the one who's always running late and you can tell it annoys your type-A friends. Either way, better to forgo that dynamic altogether when it comes to your relationship.

 

5. You're both the same level of messy

Either you both can't stand the sight of clutter or you're fine leaving things strewn all over the place. Being on the same page here is so helpful when it comes to compatibility, says Wexler. "Different values about neatness can drive people apart. It sounds small, but over time it can build up into a huge frustration." The person who's neater might think the other is inconsiderate and rude, while the person who isn't as neat will probably start to think their partner is a nag. If you two happen to be aligned in this area, you just might be an awesome pair.

Pastor in Trouble After Car Dealer Used Stolen Car to Sow Seed (Photo)

A Reverend father has found himself in trouble after he was arrested by the police who recovered a stolen car given to him by his church member.

Suspects paraded by the police

 

The Presbyterian Reverend of Ameke-Abam in Arochukwu, Titus Onwuchekwa who collected a stolen car used in sowing seed is singing in police cell after he was paraded alongside five suspects for armed robbery at the Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja. 

 

The shocked pastor revealed that a car dealer used the stolen car to sow a seed into his life and that he had no knowledge that the car was stolen. 

 

According to Rev. Titus Onwuchekwa, “I am a clergy man. I bought an SUV from one Felix when he came for a programme in Lagos sometime in November. I actually saw the vehicle at Alaba, where it was advertised for sale. While negotiating with the owner of the vehicle, I told him that I was a man of God and he said that he would use the vehicle to sow a seed into my life. He said because I was a man of God, he would sell the vehicle, a Mitsubishi Pajero jeep to me for N500,000. I paid him N350,000, and I later balanced him N150,000. He said I should pray that God should bless him with more children because he had only had one child since he married.

“I never knew the car was stolen. I don’t know anything about the other Infiniti jeep that he sold. He gave me the car documents which bore his name; he also gave me the custom clearing documents, and they had the same name too. A soldier friend of mine had to help me verify if the car was genuine and he confirmed that it was. I am a man of God and I will never buy a stolen property.”

 

The other suspects who were paraded alongside Rev Titus included Opeyemi Aregbesola, 28; Bola Salami, 30; Osas Felix Bright, 32; Chibike Umeh, 22; and Ndibe Samuel, 31.

 

According to Vanguard, It was learnt that upon the arrest of two notorious armed robbery kingpins, Opeyemi Aregbesola and Bola Salami who had been on the wanted list of Special Anti-Robbery Squad for snatching exotic vehicles, the operatives recovered a Toyota Camry 2007 model with registration number MUS782DD.

 

While parading the suspects, Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Fatai Owoseni, said that, “During interrogation, the duo confessed to have stolen a series of cars at gunpoint. Their confession led to the arrest of one Osas Felix Bright and Chibuike Umeh at their hideout at Oko Igbede, Alaba International Market. The two suspects also confessed to have received many stolen vehicles from the gang and sold them at give-away prices to their customers at Onitsha, Anambra State and Abia State.”

 

Also the police recovered six vehicles including one unregistered Toyota 4 Runner jeep, two Toyota Camry cars with registration number AAA391AA, and FKJ441DV, two Lexus jeeps with registration numbers HAL100RF and LSR520DA, a Toyota Highlander with registration number LSR492DX, and a Mitsubishi Pajero jeep with registration number SMK484DS.

 

It was gathered that Osa Felix Bright and Chibike Umeh specialised in receiving stolen cars from armed robbery gangs, changing the colour and re-registering the cars with forged custom duty documents before selling the vehicles.

 

Also, another suspect Ndibe Samuel, a medicine dealer,  revealed how he bought one of the stolen cars from his in-law. He said: “I bought a Toyota Camry for N700,000 last September, 2015. I was in my shop when he actually called me to come and see him, that he had a message for me. I was arrested by the police on my way to see him. They said the vehicle that I bought was a stolen vehicle.”

 

For Osas Felix, one of the suspect said there was no need to deny: “I sell vehicles at Berger Yard. A friend brought the vehicle for to me to help him sell. I have known him for over a year. I knew it was a stolen vehicle. I bought the vehicle for N300,000 from him, registered it with my name and then sold it to the pastor.”

 

However, Opeyemi Aregbesola confessed that he has been stealing and selling cars for a long time now: “I usually sell stolen vehicles to Osas Felix. So far I have sold about seven vehicles to him.” he confessed.

 

Investigations are still ongoing and efforts are on to apprehend other fleeing members of the gang who specialise in forging documents for the gang. The suspects will soon be charged to court.

Drama as 15-Year-Old Boy is Caught Having S*x With Sheep In Anambra (Photo)

In this shocking confession, a 15-year-old boy has narrated how he raped a sheep as he admits he only enjoys having sex with animals.

Miracle Oluebube Nweke and the sheep he was raping

 

Master Miracle Oluebube Nweke is a 15- year old boy and member of Assemblies of God Church in Nnewichi-Nnewi, Anambra state. But he is a self-confessed deviant who enjoys having sex only with sheep.

 

He was recently caught in the act, last Mon­day, by a friend who raised alarm leading to his arrest and confession of his past escapades. 

 

He confessed that he only enjoys having sex with animals. The teenage boy, a native of Eziagu in Enugu state, last Monday confessed that he had been engaging in sodomy for a while but was never caught. He said he knew that it was not normal but that he could not help himself. He said an­ytime he had urge, a strange voice would lead him to where he would get a tethered sheep which he would loose and drag to an uncompleted building to have sex with it.

 

According to Authority, Miracle explained that on sighting any sheep, he would engage, first, in sexual fixation otherwise called zoophil­ia before graduating to raping it otherwise called bestiality or sodomy.

 

He was in the middle of the act this week in the South East when his friend cut his fun short and raised the alarm which made the vigilante operatives to go after him and arrested him.

 

Master Miracle was, specifically, arrested on Monday, Jan­uary 18, this week by the Edoji, Uruagu-Nnewi vigilante group after which he was subjected to a round of investigation. The boy narrates: “I am the first of seven male children of my parents, I dropped out of school after my primary 6. I then started learning painting. But, that too is not going well.

“My father, Mr Sunday Nweke, is a trader at fairly Used Market, Mgbuka in Nnewi while my mother, Mrs Ndide Nweke sells banana and groundnut in our neighbor­hood.

“Whenever I get any sheep of my choice, I untie it from the spot where the owner has left it and take the sheep to a secluded uncompleted building and have sex with it.

“I don’t do anything else with the sheep than that. I normally make sure that no one is around watching while doing it because I know that the owners of the sheep may not like it.

“But it gives me great pleasure whenever I have sex with sheep. I have never tried any other kind of animal to know the difference. My experience of having sex with sheep is sweet.”

 

“The last time, our landla­dy accused me of stealing her money when she actually securely locked her doors and windows. How could I have entered her house?

“But I know she was just trying to eject my parents after the news got to her that I usually sleep with sheep which she considered atrocious. I don’t steal and I don’t molest children. I am not a criminal.

“This is not the first time I did it. Nobody would have known that I am into that if not that one of my friends, Dede, saw me this time around and raised the alarm and these people started pursuing me with their gun and I had to stop running because I did not want them to shoot me. If not they wouldn’t have caught me.”

“There is a spirit that normally tells me to go and look for sheep and whenever I hear the commanding voice of the spirit, it becomes irresistible for me to take away my eyes from sheep.

“I will be so restless and confused until after I have carried out the instruction of the

unseen spirit,” he narrated.

 

There was drama when the own­er of the sheep who identified himself simply as Mr Uche from Nkpoka, Nnewichi-Nne­wi told the vigilante operatives that he would not go home with the sheep again.

 

He demanded that the teenager who defiled his sheep must buy it. Uche argued that it would be misleading for anyone to think that the sheep is still normal after its encounter with Miracle.

 

“The best thing is to sell this sheep and its small baby to Mir­acle so that he can do whatever he wants with it. I cannot take them home again after their experience in his hand.

“I will only be deceiving my­self if I believe my sheep is still normal. If I take them home and they start biting people, what would I do?

 

“Again, if the sheep later gives birth to a half man and half animal, what do you want me to tell the world?” Uche queried.

 

The vigilante operative, Okeke, when asked on what becomes of the arrested boy, said that he would be released to his parents after they have made adequate payment for the sheep that was raped by their son, noting that the 15-year old boy would not be handed over to the police.

 

“You will agree with me that this is not a criminal case and I don’t think it is necessary to start wasting our time and that of the police by taking this boy to the station.

“We will release him to his parents so that they can go and find spiritual solutions to his problems. This is more of a spiritual case than security matter.”

 

Bestiality is not a new thing in this clime, so many people have been caught in the act and appropriate sanctions imposed on them. Most are handed over to the police for prosecution. However, the case of Oluebube is still generating controversy as many are of the view that the minor should be handed over to the police for prosecution.

Wow! See How South African Gov't Plans to Honour Girls Who Graduate From University as Virgins

The government of South Africa has found a new way to encourage their female daughters to maintain their virginity while in the university using this interesting package.

 

A South African region on Friday said it had launched a new grant scheme for girls who remain virgins throughout the course of their university studies, triggering outrage among rights groups.

 

The bursary offered in Uthukela, in the southeast of the country near Durban city, is the brainchild of  municipality’s female mayor Dudu Mazibujo. News of the grant scheme sent shockwaves among civil society groups, with one women’s association branding it unconstitutional.

 

“The bursaries are for young girls who are still virgins,” municipality spokesman Jabulani Mkhonza told AFP.

 

“It’s a new category which the mayor has introduced this year,” he said, adding that the goal is to encourage “young girls to keep themselves pure and inactive from sexual activity and focus on their studies.”

 

Beneficiaries of the grant will be subjected to regular virginity tests, he added.

 

“Those children who have been awarded bursaries will be checked whenever they come back for holidays. The bursary will be taken away if they lose their virginity,” said Mkhonza.

 

The People Opposing Women Abuse (POWA) group, said it was shocked that taxpayers’ money was being used to violate girls’ rights.

 

“POWA is shocked to hear that young girls are being tested for virginity in order to get bursaries… it’s a violation of their rights,” the group’s executive director Nonhlanhla Mokwena told AFP.

 

“That is taxpayers’ money that is being used to violate girls… (and) the constitution of this country.”

 

Many South Africans from poor backgrounds rely on government grants to get through university. Planned university fee hikes last year provoked sometimes violent protests nationwide.

Nigerians Blast Chicken Republic for Mocking Metuh With Sinister Advert

A popular fast food joint, Chicken Republic has come under intense criticism for making mockery of the embattled PDP Spokesman, Olisa Metuh in a new advert.

This is the controversial ad by Chicken Republic

 

Many people have reacted angrily to the mock advert by a leading Nigerian fast food joint who used the trial of Olisa Metuh by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for its publicity stunt.

 

Writing on its official twitter handle, Chicken republic tweeted an ad on their official twitter page; “Why eat your words when you can eat our meals” and “Special delivery for Olisa” with an EFCC logo on the ad.

 

The ad was making mockery of Metuh who was alleged to have torn and swallowed his own statement made to the EFCC. However, he denied ever doing such a thing.

 

Many Nigerians took to twitter to express shock and disgust at how Chicken Republic could use such opportunity to taunt a man under trial.

 

Here is how people reacted:

FG Sacks Top Civil Servants Over Employment Racketeering - Minister

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has disclosed that the federal government has meted out punishment to top civil servants over job employment scam.

Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed

 

Some top officials of the Civil Service have been dismissed by the Federal Government for extorting money from 400 applicants and offering them employment illegally.

 

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, made the disclosure on Saturday in Lagos during a meeting with some selected On-Air-Personalities.

 

The meeting was part of the minister`s five-day consultations with critical stakeholders in the media industry. Mohammed said that the affected officers were on Grade Level 17 in one of the parastatals in the ministry.

 

He said that the officers had included the names of the applicants in the Integrated Payroll and Personnel System (IPPIS) before the fraud was discovered.

 

“The first scandal I met in one of the parastatals when I assumed office was the illegal employment of 400 people.

“This scandal started with very senior officers up to level 17 in that department.

 

“They sent out letters and text messages asking people to apply for jobs for a fee of N400, 000 and they were given letters of employment.

“They did not stop there. They invited these people to go and be captured on the IPPIS and they even took cameras to hotels to get them captured. At the end of the day the bubble burst.

 

“One of the victims told these officials, you cannot take my money and still disengage me. I have a valid letter.

“That is how we got to know that there is a dedicated account these people pay to.

 

“Of course, we dismissed these officials and we even handed them over to the Police“ the minster said.

 

Mohammed said that the incident showed how faulty the IPPIS was and how it had been compromised by unscrupulous elements. He said that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari was doing all it could to make the IPPIS tamper-proof and guide it from people who might want to load ghost workers on it.

 

He described On-Air Personalities as “very important’’ in the media industry and urged them to leverage on their platforms to educate the people on government`s policies. The minister said the current war against corruption was a war of survival for the nation and urged all Nigerians to give it the necessary support.

Corruption: Buhari Goes Tough on Public Officers, Insists on Mandatory Asset Declaration

President Muhammadu Buhari has taken the anti-corruption war to the public sector as he goes after public office holders who refuse to declare their assets.

There are strong indications that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration has directed all Federal Government ministries, departments and agencies to ensure that their members of staff comply with the law on asset declaration, Punch reports.

 

According to information gathered, Buhari has made it clear through a presidential directive that all public office holders must declare their assets. It is believed this new measure will go a long way in tackling the issue of corruption in government.

 

Findings showed that the order must have informed the directive by the Nigerian Army and the Nigeria Customs Service that their officers should declare their assets.

 

A senior government official has revealed that the government would not only ensure that public office holders declared their assets, but also made it clear that anti-graft agencies would monitor their incomes and the wealth they had acquired.

 

He added that the law on asset declaration does not only apply to politicians holding public offices, but also civil servants.

 

The source said, “The government has directed that all public officers must declare their assets. Some people wrongly believe that asset declaration only applies to politicians. Civil servants are also required to declare their assets; that is what the law says. But the law does not require them to make public assets they have declared.

“There are many civil servants with many mansions in Abuja. Anti-graft agencies will now be matching their incomes with their wealth.”

 

Taking the lead in the process, the Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka, had, in a statement on Thursday, said that the Chief of Army Staff, Lt- Gen. Tukur Buratai, had directed all officers of the Nigerian Army to declare their assets.

 

He added that Buratai had declared his assets on his appointment as Commander, Multinational Joint Task Force in May 2015 and when he was appointed as Chief of Army Staff in July 2015.

 

Kukasheka had said, “This directive is in order, considering the fact that all military officers are having Presidential Commission and are public servants, as well as subject to both civil and military laws. In addition, given the current drive of the country for probity and accountability, the Nigerian Army should not only key in but should be one of the key drivers for such a laudable project.”

However, the Chairman, Code of Conduct Bureau, Mr. Sam Saba has revealed that some of the military personnel have refused to declare their assets.

 

He had stated, “Some of the military personnel declare but most of them are not declaring (theirs). They used to declare (their assets) in the early 90s but somehow, they just stopped. Only some of them who are service chiefs declare, but the remaining ones do not fill the forms.”

 

The Comptroller-General of Customs, Col. Hameed Ali (retd.), had on January 15, directed all officers of the service to declare their assets within two weeks. The Nigeria Immigration Service on its part, had on Thursday, said that its personnel had taken asset declaration seriously.

 

The NIS Public Relations Officer, Ekpedeme King, has said all its officers will comply with the directive.

 

He said, “We don’t need to issue fresh directives to our personnel to declare their assets because they have been doing that periodically. This is in line with the Code of Conduct for public officials and it is compulsory for all revenue generating agencies of the government.”

 

It has been revealed that the Nigeria Police Force has yet to respond to inquiries about asset declaration by its personnel, a code of conduct requirement for public officials.

 

According to Punch, the authorities of the military and the Nigeria Customs Service had directed their personnel to declare their assets as part of efforts to sanitise the polity and as required by law. But, the Nigerian Police seems not to care.

Elders in Bayelsa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress have added their voice to the ongoing controversy between the Niger Delta militant leader, Mr. Government Ekpemupolo (aka Tompolo) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission as they've advised him to  surrender himself for questioning by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over N13bn fraud.

 

According to Punch, they also demanded an apology from the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Mr. Timi Frank, over his comments against the party leadership in the State “in his own interest.”

 

It would be recalled that Justice Ibrahim Buba of a Federal High Court in Abuja had granted an order compelling Tompolo to answer an amended 40 counts of conspiracy, fraud and money laundering levelled against him and a former Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, Patrick Akpobolokemi.

 

However, Tompolo in a letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, accused the candidate of the APC in the Bayelsa State governorship election, Timipre Sylva, of trying to link him to the renewed vandalism of oil facilities in the Niger Delta region,  saying he (Sylva) was the one responsible.

 

But a member of the Bayelsa APC Elders, Chief Arerebo Bodi, at a reception organised in his honour on Saturday in Abuja, said it was important for Tompolo to honour the request of the EFCC, rather than blame Sylva and other APC leaders in the State.
