Wizkid’s bodyguard claims that his phone was stolen at a Lagos club.

Roy Emmanuel, Wizkid’s bodyguard, has lashed out after his phone was allegedly stolen at the popular Quilox Club in Victoria Island, Lagos. 

Roy stated on his Instagram story on Monday that he left his phone on top of a car at the Quilox car park on Friday, and a lady picked it up. 

He shared CCTV footage of a woman retrieving a phone from the top of a car, and he asked the public for information on the woman in question.

Roy promised to keep the lady’s identity private after recovering the phone, after revealing that it was an iPhone. 

He also promised to reward anyone who could provide him with useful information.

“I forgot my phone on a car at club Quilox on Friday, and the lady in brown picked it up,” Roy wrote. Anyone with information about her should contact +234 803 890 **** or the Club Quilox contact at 0803 345 ****. 

“This is an iPhone.” I promise to reward, and after her recovery, we can keep her identity private. Thanks. #ONGOD” 

Poco Lee, a famous dancer, reacted to the situation by criticizing the lady for taking the phone away.

He believes she should have asked for the owner or left it with a club employee. 

Poco Lee commented on Roy’s Instagram post, “Not cool though.” You could have easily requested the owner! Or simply leave it with someone who works there rather than taking it away.”

Ajayi invites Obasanjo, Ooni, and Oluomo to church for thanksgiving.

Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo was not only a guest but also a preacher at the Love of Christ Generation Church (Cherubim and Seraphim), Oniru, Lagos, on Sunday, September 4, 2022. 

The thanksgiving service, which drew many dignitaries, commemorated the church’s first anniversary as well as Reverend Esther Ajayi’s 15 years in ministry.

Obasanjo cited the Biblical experience of Joseph in prison, who interpreted the dreams of the Pharaoh and some of his top aides, in his sermon titled ‘Given Testimony.’ Obasanjo also told the story of Aaron and Moses, who went to deliver God’s message to King Pharaoh, who turned a deaf ear to the warnings. 

The former president also emphasized that there were people who did not know God, such as Pharaoh.

Other dignitaries at the event include the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi; the Chairman of the Parks Management Committee of Lagos State, Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Oluomo, among others.

One of the highlights of the event was when Obasanjo and Oluomo paid obeisance to the Ooni at different times in the church.

Oluomo could also be seen prostrating himself before the former president, before both men hugged each other.

Ex-military chiefs are being investigated for stealing security funds.

According to Bolaji Owasanoye, chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, some former military chiefs are being investigated for fraud (ICPC).

Mr Owasanoye made the revelation while discussing how grand theft of security funds by military chiefs was fueling insecurity across the country. 

“At first glance, insecurity appears to be, and is sometimes treated as, a matter requiring only a military response or reaction,” Mr Owasanoye said at a “Policy Dialogue on Corruption and Insecurity in Nigeria” in Abuja on Friday.

Mr Owasanoye stated that “some former military and security personnel are being investigated by ICPC and our sister agency for embezzlement of funds allocated to security,” citing cases of massive looting of funds by military top brass. 

“In addition, there are ongoing investigations into military contract spending.” Recently, the ICPC arrested a military contractor who received a total of about N6 billion from the Nigerian Army under suspicious circumstances and in violation of existing legislation over a period of less than ten years. 

“The Commission’s recovery of large sums of cash in local and foreign currencies, luxury cars, customized mobile phones, designer watches, including three Rolexes, as well as property documents from the contractor’s premises underscores the corruption that frequently occurs in military procurement,” Mr Owasanoye added.

Mr Owasanoye went on to say that “a former head of one of the military’s arms in the waning days of his tenure deposited N4 billion from the military budget into the accounts of two companies where he is the beneficial owner and sole signatory.” 

“The proceeds were used to buy Abuja real estate in the names of cronies and proxies.”

Some of the properties purchased with his service money were also fraudulently converted to his use. 

According to the ICPC Chairman, the ICPC’s prosecution of this high-ranking officer to recover all implicated assets was strangely and perversely thwarted by a recently retired High Court judge who decided to forfeit some of the assets to the FGN while leaving the rest to the suspect.

While the Commission has filed an appeal, this unusual development aggravates an already bad situation and increases insecurity and impunity, according to the anti-graft chief.

“We shall meet Again in the Future,” a lecturer says to his project students as he resigns and relocates abroad.

A WhatsApp message from a Nigerian lecturer informing his project students of his resignation has gone viral on social media. 

Dr. Oyedele, the lecturer, informed his students that he will not be available to review their project when ASUU calls off the strike because he has resigned from the university. 

He went on to say that he had left the country in search of greener pastures, and that he had bid them farewell.

This follows the ongoing ASUU strike, which began in February 2022 and appears to have no end in sight. Despite numerous meetings between the union and federal government representatives, they have yet to reach a mutual agreement.
