Court refuses to make permanent forfeiture order on Patience Jonathan’s $8.4m, N7.4b












Justice Mojisola Olatoregun of the Federal High Court in Lagos has dismissed an application from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC to order the final forfeiture of $8.4 million and N7.4 billion linked to former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan.

The judge had in April 2018 ordered the temporary forfeiture of the funds which EFCC said were suspected to be proceeds of crime. Mrs Jonathan, Globus Integrated Services Ltd, Finchley Top Homes Ltd, Am-Pm Global Network Ltd, Pagmat Oil and Gas Ltd and Magel Resort Ltd and Esther Oba, all companies linked to her, had indicated at the time that the sum of money been investigated were donations she received from good citizens who loved her and wanted to bless her.

Among the temporarily forfeited sums are N1.085billion and N226.3million found in Finchley’s Ecobank account and N39.4million found in its Diamond Bank account, as well as N55.9million found in Pagmat Oil and Gas’ Diamond Bank account, among others.

Justice Olatoregun today said all the parties in the suit must give oral evidence to justify the money’s source and ownership.


“I have stated here that the right of parties in this suit cannot be determined by affidavit evidence. Oral testimonies are to be called with cross extermination. I hereby order parties to call upon their witnesses so that the right of parties can be determined one way or the other,” the judge ruled.

Ghanaian media is reporting that famous actor- turned preacher, Majid Michel has been flown out of Ghana to undergo throat surgery. Although the exact country he was taken to for the operation, hasn't been revealed.

“Over two years ago, I was travelling and then suddenly my voice started breaking and it’s been like this for over two years now”, he said.
He also added that he had been to the hospital for a check up, but was told there was absolutely nothing wrong with his throat.
“I don’t know what is wrong with my voice. I have checked at Korle-bu and 37 Military hospitals and they all said there is nothing wrong with my voice. They have checked my throat and everything is perfect,” he said.

"Hot Felon" Jeremy Meeks has slammed reports that his relationship with Topshop heiress Chloe Green, 27, is in crisis after news of their recent "tearful bust up" in Dubai emerged.

The couple had a public row on February 19 at the Cavalli Club in Dubai where Meeks stormed out of the venue, leaving Chloe on her own. Chloe is said to have jetted to her home in Monaco alone while Jeremy has been partying in LA.

Later, eagle-eyed followers noticed that in all of Chloe's recent Instagram photos, she wasn't wearing her rumoured engagement ring.

But Jeremy has said their relationship is still intact. The model, 35, was pictured shopping at XIV Karats in Beverly Hills on Wednesday with his half-sister Carmella Jesus when he was asked about the status of his relationship.

He replied: "Of course we're still together."

R. Kelly leaves jail after female 'friend' posts his $100K bail (Photo)














Embattled R&B singer, R. Kelly has been released from jail after posting bail following multiple charges of criminal sexual abuse.

Cook County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Sophia Ansari told USA TODAY that Kelly posted $100,000 , which is 10 percent of the $1 million bond set Saturday, after spending three days behind bars.

Court documents show his bail was paid by a 47-year-old woman from the Chicago suburb of Romeoville, Illinois, according to the Chicago Tribune. She listed herself as a "friend" of Kelly.

On Monday afternoon, he was pictured with his defense attorney, Steve Greenberg walking out of the Cook County Jail following his release.

The terms of Kelly's release prohibits him from having any contact with females under the age of 18.

The release comes just hours after he pleaded not guilty to 10 felony counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. He's accused of sexually assaulting four women between 1998 and 2010 and his alleged victims include three who were aged between 13 and 17 at the time.

The singer's next court date is March 22.

Court to rule on ex-Adamawa Governor’s son, Abdul-Aziz’s request to travel today











Justice Okon Abang of a Federal High Court, Abuja has adjourned to February 26, 2019 to hear an application filed by Abdul-Aziz Nyako, son to a former Adamawa State governor, Murtala Nyako, seeking for the release of his international passport, to enable him travel to Saudi Arabia, to perform the lesser hajj.



Abdul-Aziz is being prosecuted by the EFCC, along with his father, Abubakar Aliyu and Zulkifikk Abba, for allegedly laundering about N29 Billion state funds, using five companies – Blue Opal Limited, Sebore Farms & Extension Limited, Pagoda Fortunes Limited, Tower Assets Management Limited and Crust Energy Limited.



Bringing the application to court on February 25, 2019, defence counsel, R.A. Liman, told the court it was for the release of the international passport for the second and third defendants.



Prosecuting counsel, O.A. Atolagbe, however, noted that the prosecution would need time to go through the application and to come back to the court with its reply. Justice Abang, thereafter, adjourned for “hearing of the application”, and fixed April 8, 10 and 11, 2019 for “continuation of trial”.

What upsets me about this Jussie situation is that people were genuinely worried about you man. And the things that you said happened could have led to some serious outcomes. People were prepared to fight for you bruh. Things coulda got ugly...... and you made it up.

And why did you call yourself the gay Tupac. What does Tupac have to do with anything that happened to you? Did you do this to sell records bro? Did you fake a hate crime, Enrage the Black community. The LBGT community and anti-Trump community just to sell records bruh?







He followed up with:




People could’ve gotten hurt. Thinking they’re protesting and standing up for you. This is not a game.



Nigerians roast Desmond Elliot for commissioning a 'biofil' public toilet in his constituency














Nollywood actor cum politician, Desmond Elliot representing Surulere constituency at the Lagos State house of assembly is currently under fire online for commissioning a 'biofil' public toilet in his constituency.



According to Desmond Elliot, 'this isnt just a building, its not just a toilet, but one that converts waste to manure so nothing is wasted as we keep the environment clean'.



Nigerians are however not buying his explanation...


Not too young to run, not too young to run

Boom!

The very young Desmond Elliot commissions this toilet as constituency project.

Desmond Elliot didn't build the toilet..It was donated to his constituency in conjunction with the Australian high commision.

Dear Nigerians, we can now see, from Desmond Elliot and Buhari's incompetency, that visionary leadership has nothing to do with age. In the coming elections, look for candidates with capacity and cast your votes for them. Do not support blindly this time. #NigeriaDecides2019— Shaky Shaky Daddy (@ShakyShakyDaddy) February 22, 2019


I don't understand why Desmond Elliot is being dragged for commissioning a toilet. There are communities where 'simple' things like that are very much needed.

On close observation, most young people don't know what they really want.— TweetaminE K (@kene_Maestro) February 21, 2019


When Desmond Elliot was campaigning then I supported him but till now how many of you have heard of him or what he has done for the youth. Even common community match he didn’t organize— Rawlings Onyi (@Whisper2raw) February 22, 2019


I really don't think the toilet "Desmond Elliot" built was a bad thing as some communities in Nigeria don't have basic amenities as normal as this...but the fanfare around the commissioning was were they fucked up.— D Bil'ionaire (@itzKay_B) February 21, 2019

Jordyn Woods moves out of Kylie Jenner's house following reports she got intimate with Tristan Thompson












Jordyn Woods has moved out of Kylie Jenner's house amid reports of Tristan Thompson cheating.

Jordyn Woods, 21, who is Kylie Jenner's best friend and lives in her Hidden Hills mansion, moved out of the house and moved in with her mother. This comes after she was reportedly caught over the weekend cozying up to Tristan Thompson, who is her best friend's sister's boyfriend.

A source told People that "it’s been a difficult time and she’s broken up about it. She’s heading home to be with her mom."

The decision to move out was Jordyn's, according to reports.

Sources also told the publication that the Kardashians "considered Jordyn family. She was like a family member and always invited everywhere. The family helped her and wanted her to be able to have a business venture too."

The source said the Kardashian/Jenner family found it hard to believe the report when they first heard it.

One source said:




When they first started hearing on Monday that Tristan made out with Jordyn, no one really believed it. That Tristan would be inappropriate, yes everyone knows that he can’t behave, but that Jordyn would make out with him, it first seemed like a made up rumor.



The source continued:




It wasn’t anything they wanted to drop. So several family members reached out to people they believed had been at the party. And they were told it was true.



A source adds that the situation has Kylie stressed because "Jordyn has been like Kylie’s sister. They were inseparable, and always together. Jordyn often helped Kylie with Stormi. Kylie was always so excited to have Jordyn around. It seems Kylie isn’t sure what to do, but it seems impossible for her to keep Jordyn around."







Neither Jordyn nor Tristan have reacted to the cheating allegations though Tristan tweeted "FAKE NEWs" after the story broke then quickly deleted it.

Kim Kardashian has unfollowed both Tristan Thompson and Jordyn Woods on Instagram. But Kylie still follows her best friend Jordyn.

Hilarious video! Nigerian boy pranks his parents with a fake snake

















President Donald Trump on Wednesday tweeted that he is barring a US-born former Islamic State propagandist, Hoda Muthana from returning home.



Trump said on Twitter he has “instructed” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo “not to allow Hoda Muthana back into the country” which is seen as a break with usual US protocol not to comment on individuals’ immigration issues.







Ms. Hoda Muthana is not a US citizen and will not be admitted into the United States,” Pompeo said in a terse statement. She does not have any legal basis, no valid US passport, no right to a passport, nor any visa to travel to the United States,” he said, urging US citizens not to travel to Syria.



Muthana’s lawyer, Hassan Shilby has however showed a birth certificate that demonstrated she was born in New Jersey in 1994 and said her father had ceased being a diplomat “months and months” before her birth. “She is a US citizen. She had a valid passport. She may have broken the law and, if she has, she’s willing to pay the price,” Shilby told AFP at his office in Tampa.



He said Muthana wanted due process and was willing to go to prison if convicted. “We cannot get to a point where we simply strip citizenship from those who break the law. That’s not what America is about. We have one of the greatest legal systems in the world, and we have to abide by it.”

Atiku Abubakar accuses APC of training operatives in China to manipulate card readers during election












Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has spoken about what he descrbed as a plot of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ''to slow down card readers in regions considered his strongholds.''

Atiku stated this on Tuesday at an emergency National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting at Wadata Plaza, national secretariat of the party.

According to the him, some people were trained in China and are equipped with gadgets that look like mobile phones.

He said the gadgets will be used to slow down card readers in his strongholds and fasten them in other regions.

He said the plan is to slow the card readers in North-central, South-south and South-east, but to increase the rate of operation of the card readers in the North-west and North-east.

“We have just discovered that the APC have hired many of their operatives and have taken them to China to be trained, and they have been so trained, and they are back, and they are equipped with devices that are meant to slow or fasten our card readers,” he said.

So, if you are in the South-south, South-east and North-central, you are likely to get your card readers to be slowed by those APC operatives.”

Mr Abubakar also claimed that his party has seen the machines; and has interviewed some of those who have gone on the training.

“If you are from the North-west or North-east, the tendency is that they will use these machines to fast-track the readings of your card readers so that many of their supporters can vote while disenfranchising the other three zones.” he said

“I thought you should know that we have supplied the information to the campaign council, and you will even see the copy of the machine which each and every one of those operatives is to hold. It is like a telephone but that is its job. I felt I should let you know, and you should be guided accordingly.” he added

Mr Abubakar’s allegations come a few days to Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly elections.
