Pastor Arrested for Swindling Member

Published

on

EFCC has arrested a self proclaimed pastor, ThankGod Udechukwu, founder of Jesus the General Outreach Ministry based in Amuwo-Odofin, Lagos, for alleged swindling of a kinsman and member of his church.

Udechukwu, who hails from Ozalla, Enugu State, was arrested by the EFCC, Enugu Zonal Office on 23 May. He reportedly took advantage of one of his kinsmen who trusted him as a ‘Man of God’.

“I am his pastor and man of God, in fact, I used to pray for him to succeed and indeed, I prayed for him before he travelled out to Dubai,” he said.

According to the victim and complainant, his ordeal started with a suggestion that he hands over to him four Toyota Highlander SUVs he imported, claiming that one of his church members was willing to buy the vehicles and other consignments valued at N16 million.

The pastor helped himself to a huge part of the proceeds, claiming it was for logistics. Later, the pastor mooted the idea of starting a transport services business and suggested to the Dubai-based businessman to buy two Sienna buses to kick it off.

As if under a spell, the complainant still agreed to the business idea. With no returns from the transport business, the complainant instructed the suspect to sell off the two buses.

Udechukwu sold one of the buses and converted the proceed to his personal use. Some months after, the pastor further suggested a business to the complainant and introduced him to one Amechi Chuks Amechi who claimed to work with Nigeria Breweries and that he could assist in securing a dealership from the company.

He claimed the deal would cost the complainant N2.37m, which he transferred to Amechi’s company account.

The petitioner, who had hoped to use part of the proceeds from his investments to start some businesses here in Nigeria, was totally devastated when on coming home, he discovered nothing was done.
.
Investigation revealed that he used the monies in all the businesses to expand his church buildings and take care of personal issues.

Wanted Bandit Leader Embraces Peace Deal in Katsina

Published

on

A notorious bandit kingpin, Isiya Kwashen Garwa, once declared wanted by the Defence Headquarters, has reportedly agreed to a peace deal in Katsina State.

According to reports by security analyst Zagazola Makama, Garwa—listed among Nigeria’s 19 most-wanted terrorists and bandits—surfaced in Hayin Gada community, Faskari Local Government Area, presenting himself as a supporter of dialogue.

Garwa, a native of Kamfanin Daudawa village in Faskari LGA, has for years been linked to killings, kidnappings, and violent raids across Katsina and neighboring states. Security experts identify him as a key figure in the armed networks destabilizing the North-West and North-Central, taking advantage of weak state presence and porous borders.

His sudden shift toward reconciliation is raising mixed reactions. While some community members view it as a long-awaited opportunity for peace, others remain skeptical, citing his bloody past and the many atrocities attributed to his group.

Nigerian Doctor Planning To Relocate To The UK Slvmps And Ð!es After Being On Duty For 72-hours

Published

on

The Nigerian medical community is reeling from the devastating loss of Dr. Oluwafemi “Femi” Rotifa, a young doctor at the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (RSUTH) whose life ended just as a new chapter was about to begin.

Dr. Femi had already completed his registration with the UK’s General Medical Council and concluded all plans to relocate for better opportunities abroad. He was days away from starting a fresh life when tragedy struck.

After working a grveling 72-hour call shift at RSUTH’s Emergency Room, he reportedly went to the call room to rest but slumped and never woke up. Despite resuscitation efforts at the ICU, he was pronounced gone—leaving behind family, friends, and colleagues in deep shock.

His passing has been described by the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) and the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) as a preventable death, one that reflects the harsh reality of overworked and under-supported doctors in Nigeria.

Dr. Femi’s story is both heartbreaking and eye-opening: a young man full of promise, already on the path to building a brighter future abroad, cut down by the very system he gave his all to serve.

Mohbad: I Have Always Been Ready For The DNA Test – Wunmi

Published

on

Mohbad’s wife, Omowunmi “Wunmi” Aloba, has finally reacted after the Ikorodu Magistrate Court ordered that a DNA test be conducted on her son, Liam. The court directed that two separate tests be carried out—one in Nigeria and another abroad—with samples to be collected from Mohbad’s remains at the Military Hospital in Yaba in the presence of representatives from both families. The matter has been adjourned till November 11, 2025, for further hearing. In her reaction, Wunmi maintained that she has never been against the DNA process but insisted that it must be done through proper legal channels and not as a result of social media pressure. She explained that she is willing to cooperate once her father-in-law initiates it formally through the court, stressing that no outsider has the right to dictate how it should be done. Her lawyers also pushed back against claims that she was being uncooperative, describing such statements as defamatory and demanding a public apology from those spreading them. Wunmi also clapped back at online commentators who kept dragging her into controversies, making it clear that her priority remains protecting her son and honoring her late husband. While the court’s decision may finally settle questions surrounding Liam’s paternity, many Nigerians have expressed concern that the DNA debate has overshadowed the more pressing issue of justice for Mohbad’s mysterious death. For now, all eyes are on November when the case will resume, with hopes that the truth will bring closure not just to the family, but to fans who continue to demand answers.
