In the past week, numerous social media posts claim that the United Nations would intervene in a situation after such has been protested for more than 30 days. This is false; the UN needs no specific number of days to intervene in any national matter.
The claim was popular on Twitter and as it was shared by many including a a United Kingdom-based Nigerian doctor and influencer Dr Olufunmilayo Harvey. He claimed the UN cannot intervene in a country matter if protests have not exceeded 30 days.
“I just heard according to UN Constitution any protest that reaches 30days will make UN intervene in that country. The Nigeria govt knows this. Many young people don’t know it. EXCEPT the govt makes visible tangible immediate changes, #EndSARS protests MUST GO ON. Tell others,” Harvey tweeted.
The claim is false.
Although he has since deleted the tweet, the claim has been reshared and retweeted by several other people.
A simple search for “30days will make UN intervene in that country” on Twitter, several other people still have it up.
A further check shows that one Twitter handle, @Pooch4style3, has 195 retweets and 150 likes, while another @AdewaleJunior15 has 77 retweets and 61 likes on the same tweet shared by Funmilayo.
However, Harvey, admitted that the claim is false. He said he copied the post from the Twitter page of Folarin Falana also known as Falz, a leading figure in the EndSARS protest.
“I saw it on Falz page actually. It was later I realised he deleted it after and I did same too.” the doctor and influencer said.
“I will send you the actual source. It’s not Falz or me. I don’t want to post it here before it starts getting retweets again.”
The UN does not have a “constitution”, but a charter. According to UN’s Article 2, Paragraph 7 the UN does not intervene in matters of domestic jurisdiction of any country.
“Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state or shall require the Members to submit such matters to settlement under the present Charter; but this principle shall not prejudice the application of enforcement measures under Chapter Vll,” the document reads.
The UN deals with matters related to the maintenance of international peace and security, through its security council.
For context, Belarusians protested for more the two months at a go this year, that country was not taken over by the UN. Moreover, there is no record to show that the United Nations took over the administration of an independent country because of 30-day protests
TV host, Wendy Williams has given her opinion in the ongoing divorce drama between rappers Cardi B and Offset.
The TV host has been off her hit show for months due to the Coronavirus pandemic but released new episodes today, Monday September 21 and quickly addresses reports that Cardi B filed for divorce from her husband of three years, Offset.
Wendy warned celebrity the couple to be sincere in their divorce saying she went through a public and messy divorce from ex-husband Kevin Hunter in April of 2019 and that once legal documents are filed, it “complicates everything.”
She also added that Cardi “deserves better” than Offset .
Cardi and Offset secretly tied the knot at home in Georgia on September 20, 2017.
Cardi filed divorce documents on September 15 in Georgia, and in her initial documents, Cardi stated “there are no prospects for a reconciliation.”
She also stated that she was seeking primary physical and legal custody of Kulture.
But days later she filed an amended divorce petition to retract her request for primary physical and legal custody of their daughter. In the amended documents, she “requests that this Court honor and enforce any custodial arrangement agreed to by the parties and that such arrangement should be whatever is in the child’s best interests.”
The amended legal documents also state that Cardi “reiterates her desire for an amicable resolution of this case.”
Although Offset hasn’t filed counter documents Wendy says its in their best interest not to be talking about divorce if it isn’t real..
“I hope this is not a fake divorce, because those papers, take it from someone who knows, those papers complicate everything,” Wendy, 56, said
“Now they want to coparent,” “Hopefully they will have something legally instated where he gives to the baby. I don’t know if she’ll get spousal support. I mean, certainly she’s more famous and wealthier than him. I wouldn’t recognize Offset walking down the street, but I’d recognize Cardi even with no makeup,” Wendy continued, before she concluded with, “Cardi, I’m sorry to hear what happened.”
Following the divorce news, Cardi took to Instagram to reveal the real reason why she decided to end her marriage. In a live video on September 18, she said nothing “out of this world happened” to cause the breakup. She also dispelled speculation that the split was for publicity reasons.
“I don’t need any stunts to sell anything,”
“It’s not because of cheating. I’m seeing people say it’s because he’s got a baby on the way — that’s a whole f—king complete lie,” she said about rumors that Offset is expecting his fifth child with another woman.
“This is the like second time people try to pin babies over here,” she said, adding, “No, that’s bulls–t.”
“I got tired of f—king arguing” and “got tired of not seeing things eye-to-eye.”
“When you feel like it’s just not the same anymore and before you get cheated on, I’d rather just leave,” she explained.
“Sometimes people really do f–king grow apart.”
“I’ve been with this man for 4 years. I have kid with this man. I have a household with this man. Sometimes you just want — you’re just tired of the arguments, of the buildups.”
Following the backlash by fans on social media, the talent manager turned blogger has apologized to Ozo and Nengi’s family for his contribution to tarnish their children’s images after the handlers of the housemates’s social media page called him out.
Ubi released a statement on Tweeter as he apologised. He wrote:
I saw that video flying around, and I thought it was true so I reposted.
I have now found out it was doctored and I am really sad that someone could think of putting up a video like that to deceive the public.
I sincerely apologize for posting the said video.I have from day one supported many if not all the housemates in the current Big Brother Naija Lockdown house and the evidence is there for all to see. Nengi is on my list of favourite housemates and I would never do anything to bring down a sweet soul like her or any one else. I have no reason to deliberately try to tarnish the reputation of the house mates or anyone for that matter.To all Nengi fans, friends and most especially her family🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thank you all for the support.
Nengi’s social media handler wrote;
Good afternoon our Honourable Brothers and Sisters.
Honestly, we hate to address issues because they keep springing up all the time.
How many stories are you going to address really?
However, we will do this out of respect we have for fans of Nengi.
There is a false video circulating on social media claiming that Nengi & Ozo had sex last night.
1) The video is from a porn site which was posted 2-years ago. (Picture above)
2) The video is from Big Brother Brazil.
3) Nengi did not share her bed with anyone last night.
Now, this is disturbing because why tarnish someone’s image because of big brother? It’s just a show! Since Nengi entered the house, it’s been from one agenda to another which has really caused so much damage on her.
For someone like, UBI FRANKLIN who has been in the public eyes and known what it means to have a bad reputation, we would have expected he will know better.
However, he is the one circulating a false video and insinuating what never happened.
It’s very disappointing coming from someone who also claims to be Nengi’s friend. 🌝
We made a comment on his post to please take down those posts, he deleted the comments and laughed. (Must be funny 🙂)
The housemates are adults and can do whatever they want to do, just do not spread false stories.
Dear Nigerians, let us enjoy this show peacefully and be entertained. And for all the other false rumours, we see them and it’s all love from us. 🙏🏾Thank you for your support and love. We love you all. ❤️

The Fast & The Furious actor posted an image of ‘life in South Africa’ which portrayed white people of the country as slaves and servants.
He captioned the since-deleted image; “The flip..Get to YouTube this is what’s going on in South Africa..”
The actor was referring to a YouTube video titled; ‘South Africa – Poor whites, rich blacks’.
Tyrese’s fans and followers – particularly ones from SA – were shocked by the the post and immediately called him out on it.
A number of SA stars also reacted to the post, including media personality Bonang Matheba, who called the actor a “swine”. Responding to his post, Bonang tweeted; “…please, don’t come talk s*** here about South Africa. Jou swine!”
Sho Madjozi and Thickleeyonce also slammed the star in comments left under the post.
“Have you been hacked?”, asked Sho, whilst Thickleeyonce wrote; “Please stop spreading fake news. This is honestly so reckless and stupid. Do some research & educate yourself before posting fake news.”
Ntando Duma simply wrote “FAKE NEWS” with a series of SA flag emojis.
Dineo Langa tweeted; “Everyone must report Tyrese‘s Insta post about South Africa and have his account taken down net vir daai rubbish”.
Meanwhile Black Twitter dragged the actor over his ‘ignorance’.
Tyrese responded to outrage claiming he was “not offended by the negative feedback”. Responding to a critic, the star wrote in the comments section:
” Why you took it so literal? ….I am not offended by all the negative feedback….it was an attempt at a compliment based on that YouTube clip I already referred to…
“Not the general and overall South Africa but specific areas and specific groups are doing well….based on my own 10 + visits into South Africa and seeing things with my own eyes”.
Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes have arrested a fake DSS official identified as Boniface Oburuku over the theft of a handbag belonging to an international guest from the Republic of Mauritius.
The 32-year-old man stole the bag which contained the lady’s two Samsung mobile phones, an international passport, United States Dollars, Nigerian and Mauritian currencies at an event organised by the EFCC to mark the National Democracy Day and Anti-Corruption Summit at Transcorp Hilton Hotel on June 11, 2019.
Oburuku who has been on the Commission’s watch list since last year, was arrested in Lagos few days ago. Prior to his arrest, intelligence revealed that he was constantly on the move from Mpape area of the FCT to Jabi and later to Gwagwalada, all in the FCT.
The statement released by the anti-graft agency partly read;
“The Commission swung into action through intelligence on the suspect all over the country, which showed that he was constantly on the move from Mpape area of the FCT to Jabi and later to Gwagwalada, all in the FCT. He finally settled in Lagos where he was arrested.
“Investigations also revealed that to breach security at the day’s event, Oburuku dressed smartly in a black suit and claimed to be of the Department of State Security (DSS) and was allowed access into the venue by security agents on duty without presentation of an invite.
“While confessing to the crime, Oburuku apologized to President Buhari, the EFCC and his Mauritian victim. He called on others who are into fraudulent and criminal activities to turn a new leaf.
“He would soon be charged to court”.
George Floyd’s roommate has said that the $20 bill that instigated his arrest and his death may not have been a fake. He added that if it was, Floyd would have never intentionally used counterfeit cash.
Floyd’s roommate of four years, Alvin Manago, 55, told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview that Floyd was a stand-up guy and if he did use a counterfeit bill at the store before his death, it was “unintentional”.
He said: “I’ve never known Floyd to use any counterfeit money. If he tried to pass along a counterfeit $20 bill it was unintentional. He probably didn’t know the money was fake.
“I’m just not sure why the store employees didn’t just tell him it was a fake $20. They all knew him then. He was a regular customer.”
Manago met George Floyd, 46, when they worked together at the Conga Bistro Bar and Grill. Floyd worked security and Manago worked as a bar back. Manago says they had been roommates for almost four years and considers him one of his best friends.

Floyd died last Monday after being killed during an arrest in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for allegedly trying to use a counterfeit $20 at a local market.

The Niger State Government has described as fake, the video circulating on the social media, which alleged that the Covid-19 patient in the state protested poor condition of the quarantine facilities.
A statement made available to newsmen by the Niger State Task Force on COVID-19 explained that the video is an attempt to water down the frantic efforts the government is making towards combating the pandemic.
According to the Task Force, “There are two toilet facilties, one for females and one for Males. The isloation centre has 24 hours electricity, having been connected to a 33KVA and standby generator .
It explained further, “The relations of the patient did not want the woman to be quarantined. So, they started making trouble, demanding for her release. Out of mischief, they also went on to do a video in order to discredit the efforts of the state government.
“However, in line with the guidelines by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, both the woman and her brothers have been quarantined.”
The Task Force also reiterated that the woman who naturally should not have been in Niger State because of her condition, decided to leave Kano state on her own accord to seek medical attention in the state.
“Her reason for coming to Niger State according to her was because of her inability to access health care services in Kano State. So, she decided to contravene Niger COVID-19 Order and came back to Suleja, Niger state, but for the alertness of good spirited individuals who raised an alarm ,she was immediately picked up. Her relations however followed from Suleja in protest down to Minna,” the Task Force cleared.
It also pointed out that Niger state has well equipped Isolation/Quarantine Centres and those who are being quarantined are well Taken care of, describing those including media organisations who are circulating the purported video as mischief makers who would rather not see any good in what government is doing.

13 fake soldiers accused of using military uniform to perpetrate crimes in Lagos in spite of the lockdown order issued by President Buhari over the outbreak of Coronavirus, have been arrested by the Nigerian army.
The suspects were identified a Ebenezer Adeleke, Afolabi Hassan, Allen Afolabi, Daramola Olamide, Akpan Joel, Eze David, Frank Eze, Joseph Okere, Ahmed Ameh and Akpan Emmanuel. It was learnt that some of the suspects who were nabbed wearing uniforms with the ranks of Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major and Captain at different parts of Lagos, also forged an Army Provost letterhead for visa application.
This brings the total number of impersonators arrested in different parts of Lagos during the lockdown period, to 41.
General Officer Commanding (GOC) Maj.-Gen. Olu Irefin said;
“You will be shocked at the level they are impersonating the army. Both the Lieutenant and the Major have a photo frame they used to deceive members of public and when you check their internet profile or page they looked real as military personnel.
“They have used provost letter head to apply for visa but unfortunately they took a wrong channel of applying because we do not do it directly.”
Ghana’s youngest millionaire Ibrah One has once again spoken his mind on the coronavirus and i’m beginning to wonder what he really thinks. According to Ibrah One, the virus which is currently in Africa is fake and as a matter of fact he has stopped wearing the mask whenever he goes out. He further disclosed that he laughs at people wearing the mask anytime he goes out because 95% of the masks are not up to standard.
Ibrah was the same person who disclosed that the coronavirus was already in the country since we don’t have the equipment’s to detect them at the initial stages so i’m currently wondering why he is now saying it’s fake. A change of mind upon close study i guess.

The Acting Executive Chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, who disclosed the strange development on Tuesday, April 28, 2020, added that some faceless elements are circulating ” REE N5000 LOCKDOWN FUNDS TO SUSTAIN DURING LOCKDOWN”.
He said, ”The circulation of the fake funds is being carried out online through a phishing link via WhatsApp. The link is embedded with a link titled https:///free-N5000. Whenever the link is clicked, it would redirect recipients of the message to a phishing website address https://fg-free-funds.blogspot.com. Visitors to this fraudulent website will find an online questionnaire from which they must respond in order to trigger the phishing”.
According to Magu, the phishing website is curiously hosted on a Google server. “However, registration information of the website is being investigated and members of the public are advised to be wary of any Lockdown Funds dressed in any suspicious garb”, he added.
It would be recalled that, the EFCC, had in a recent release, cautioned Nigerians against fake cures and donations, especially fake charities springing up purporting to offer guidelines on donations to government and ordinary Nigerians in a bid to cope with the discomfort arising out of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Magu reiterates the commitments of the EFCC to monitor closely the antics of fraudsters cashing in on the government lockdown directives to perpetrate criminal acts. “We would not stop bursting every scheme designed to defraud Nigerians of their hard- earned money”, he said.
The commission while reacting to the alleged financial mismanagement by an online news platform said: “The document is simply fake or at best unauthorised. The letters for all contracts awarded by the Commission are signed by the Executive Director, Projects on the authority of the Ag Managing Director who is the chief accounting officer of the Commission. Neither of the officials is aware of the contract letter. It is inconceivable that a contract and of such magnitude could be awarded otherwise. The Commission has launched an internal investigation into how such a letter came to be issued and on what authority.”
Read Full Press Statement Below:
The Niger Delta Development Commission has been inundated with enquiries on many negative reports in online publications alleging acts of impropriety on the part of the commission. Given the extent of public interest and the determination of the Interim Management Committee to chart a new course for the commission, we feel duty bound to respond as follows:
1. COVID 19 Contract
The online publications are circulating a letter purportedly issued by the Director of Procurement awarding a contract of N5.55 billion for the procurement of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and other kits to fight the spread of COVID 19 in the Niger Delta region. We wish to unequivocally deny that contract. The document is simply fake or at best unauthorised. The letters for all contracts awarded by the Commission are signed by the Executive Director, Projects on the authority of the Ag Managing Director who is the chief accounting officer of the Commission. Neither of the officials is aware of the contract letter. It is inconceivable that a contract and of such magnitude could be awarded otherwise. The Commission has launched an internal investigation into how such a letter came to be issued and on what authority.
For the purpose of transparency, we wish to confirm that the Commission has just secured presidential approval to intervene by assisting NCDC in the supply of kits and the building of isolation centres in the nine Niger Delta states.
Also, the Commission has disbursed N775m to assist the 9 Niger Delta States fight the plague. We have also disbursed N270 million as palliatives to the youths, women and the physically challenged in the 27 senatorial districts of the region.
2. Lassa Fever
There are claims that the present management has paid out huge sums for contracts to supply kits and drugs for the prevention of Lassa Fever. We wish to state that this present management has not awarded any Lassa fever contract. From the records, the Commission awarded three contracts for intervention against the Lassa Fever scourge and all these took place in 2019, at least one year before the present management came into office. For the purpose of transparency, these contracts are as follows:
In early 2019, there was an outbreak of Lassa Fever in Ondo and Edo states, which overwhelmed the capacity of the state governments to cope. The governor of Ondo State made a request to the Commission for intervention. As a result, the then management, headed by Prof Nelson Braimbaifa on 20th February 2019 awarded a contract for the procurement of 21,000 Lassa Fever prevention kits for the region in the sum of N903 million. The items were supplied and distributed. The contractor was duly paid. As the scourge persisted, there was need for further intervention. Another 1,000 protective kits were ordered for N1,092,283,500. This contract was awarded on March 11, 2019. The last contract for Lassa Fever was awarded on April 16, 2019 in the sum of N2,425,242,248. All the kits were supplied and distributed to the nine states. As at date, the Commission is yet to pay for this last contract. Payments had been suspended on ministerial order due to the need for verification of past contracts. At no time did the IMC pay out more than N4 billion for Lassa Fever contracts as alleged.
Having provided the facts, the Commission also wishes to state as follows:
We has noticed an upsurge in attacks on the Commission, the Interim Management Committee and the Honourable Minister of the Niger Delta Affairs since the launch of a forensic audit into the affairs of the commission. This attacks are meant to distract the commission from the task of holding those who looted the commonwealth to account. The Honourable Minister and the Interim Management Committee are determined to see through this audit. On Wednesday, April 22 when the relevant documents were handed over to the lead consultant for the forensic audit, the Ag Managing Director, Prof Kemebradikumo Pondei warned that this exercise cannot be truncated. To quote him: ‘Those who took part in the grand conspiracy to loot the commonwealth are jittery that their misdeeds will come to light. We wish we could sympathise with them. But it could have occurred to them that a day of reckoning will come. The fear of the impunity of their past misdeeds being brought to light is causing panic. In fact, the vultures are shivering. Let us place on record that no amount of intimidation, campaign of falsehood and ‘breakdancing’ will abort this exercise.’
The public should be prepared for more of these attacks against the commission. It is important to point out that most of the attacks use online publications, with no known addresses or physical assets, which can be sued for defamation of character by the officials they are clearly libelling. The mainstream media with standards have not joined this jaundiced plot.
The Commission also wish to warn those agents of darkness from the Niger Delta who are hell bent on destroying every good thing in the region to change course. The essence of the present IMC and the forensic audit ordered by President Muhammadu Buhari are to reposition the Commission to make it fit for purpose. Anyone with any evidence of wrong doing should reach out to the IMC or the auditors. The forensic auditors should be allowed to complete their assignment so those who failed the region can be held to account.
It is also clear that people who have political agenda against the Honourable Minister of Niger Delta Affairs are also seeing the Commission as a fair game. It is imperative to say that the commission is an agency for the good of the Niger Delta region. The greatest disservice that can be done is for political gladiators of today to make the commission a collateral damage in their contest for power and influence. Tomorrow will come. Besides, the Hon Minister’s uncommon passion for a new Niger Delta should be applauded and not attacked.
Meanwhile, Signora Concept Services Limited, the company, alleged to have received N5,474,647,125.00 for procurement of Personal Protective Equipment for health workers and provision of community-based sensitisation campaign against the spread of COVID-19 has denied receiving any such money.
The company in a statement said, Signora Concepts Services Limited has not been paid nor its accounts credited with any money in respect of the contract under COVID-19.
The ogun state government has arrested 13 persons parading themselves as officers of Amotekun Corps in the state.
They were apprehended by So Safe, a security outfit established by the state government.
The 13 suspects who mounted a checkpoint at Lafenwa area of Ota, Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of the state, wore reflective jackets with Amotekun inscriptions and were allegedly extorting money from members of the public.
So Safe’s Director of Information and Public Relations, ACC Moruf Yusuf said;
“So-Safe Corps, an Ogun State owned security agency has recorded another great achievement as officers and men of the corps deployed to enforce the COVID-19 Stay-at-home directives of the Federal/ State Governments in Ado–Odo Ota Division at about 16:16hrs, noticed a strange set of criminally-minded ones who disguised as a lawful security outfit.
“The culprits who were thirteen (13) in number were apprehended, claiming to be officers of Amotekun, Ogun State Command.
“During preliminary investigation, the suspected fake officers claimed that their operation had a solid backing of the Development Agenda for Western Nigeria (DAWN) Commission.
“The suspects who were kitted with reflective jackets with Amotekun inscription with two(2) vehicles and three(3) motorbikes were caught at the spot they mounted a checkpoint and were extorting the public at Lafenwa, Itele Ota, located at Ado Odo Ota Local Government.
“The suspects have been transferred to the Nigeria Police, Itele Division for further investigation and likely prosecution.”

Due to the ongoing lockdown across the country, many Nigerians are currently expectant of a form of relief disbursement from the FG.
Some fraudsters have decided to use the opportunity to create a fake google form that claims to be created by the government.
Taking to Twitter, Tolu Ogunlesi the Special Assistant to President Buhari on Digital & New Media, cautioned the public against filling such forms.
He wrote;This Relief Disbursement Collation Form being circulated is a SCAM.
NEVER EVER, under any circumstances, give out your BANKING + PERSONAL details to ANY online ‘data collection’ form. Never.
Don’t do it. Don’t even wonder if it’s genuine or not. Just don’t do it!
A man of God has made a controversial statement about pastors during a sermon on Sunday.
The founder and Leader of Anointed Palace Chapel, Rev. Obofour on Sunday shocked his church members by making a controversial statement during a church sermon about men of God.
According to GHBase, the man of God stated categorically there’s no pastor in this world who can convince him that he was “called by God” since no pastor can provide any proof for this cliché. He therefore said no pastor has the right to call the others fake because they are all fake and not called by God.
He illustrated his wild statement by using the swearing in of the president of a country.
He explained that in Ghana, it is the Chief Justice that swears in a new president and also the electoral commission that declares the result of election which means there are witnesses.“Shut up there, who gave you the right to call another pastor fake? We are all one because God has not called any of us.
Any pastor who claims God called him should show me the number God called him on and the certificate,” Obofour said. He also said during the sermon that judgment day awaits all pastors, and this is going to be dangerous since no one knows when and where it is going to start from, whether the “Jubilee House of Flagstaff House.”
The Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo has refuted website for the recruitment of 774, 000 Nigerians under the Federal Government’s Special Public Works programme.
Keyamo described the website being used for recruitment as fake, hence it should be disregarded.
A statement signed by Keyamo reads: “My attention has been drawn to a certain advertorial circulating on Social Media tilted ‘Application Opens For 774,000 Employment By FG: See Requirements, Salary And How To Apply’.
“The advertorial goes ahead to state Stipends and Commissions, Requirements, How To Apply, Closing Date, etc.
“As the Supervising Minister over the National Directorate of Employment in which the Special Public Works Programme of the Federal Government is domiciled, and having conferred with the Director-General, Dr. Nasiru Ladan Mohammed Argungu, we wish to alert members of the public that the said advertorial or anything of such presently circulating is fake and should be disregarded.
“I have just finished consultation with the Hon. Minister of Finance and we are presently working out how the scope of the program would be expanded and executed with other relevant Ministries and stakeholders across the country.”
The Minister stated that Nigerians will be duly informed when President Muhammadu Buhari approves modalities for the recruitment.
“The public would be duly informed by this office when all the modalities have been graciously approved by Mr. President.
“We are also informed of instructions by certain persons going round in some States to the effect that names of those to be employed under the program should be compiled. We also urge these people not to embark on an exercise in futility as the guidelines for such recruitment and those to be involved have not been released by the agency.
“Finally, we assure all that this well-intentioned program of the Federal Government would be carefully planned and executed in such a way as to meet its target of empowering the largely unskilled labour in rural areas,” he added.
Recall that Buhari had approved the engagement of 774, 000 Nigerians on Special Public Works programme in the country.
Buhari gave the approval in a bid to tackle the effect of COVID-19 across the country.
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, has warned Nigerians that fake Chloroquine phosphate 250mg tablets are being circulated.
The Director-General of the agency, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye disclosed this in a statement. She added that NAFDAC was notified by the World Health Organisation (WHO) that the tablets were being circulated in Cameroon.
The statement reads: “The falsified chloroquine phosphate 250mg tablets were manufactured by Jiangsu pharmaceutical Inc, Astral pharmaceutical New Bhupalpura, China.

Iron Man 2 actor Keith Middlebrook has been arrested by the FBI for allegedly selling bogus drugs to cure coronavirus.
According to reports, the Hollywood star claimed to have a cure for the deadly virus. He tried to sell bogus antidote using Earvin “Magic” Johnson’s name to attract investors.
The scientists across the world are still working on finding a solution for the ongoing health crisis. The Federal agents took the actor into custody on March 25 during an undercover sting.
The actor, who also featured in Thor and Moneyball, was caught when he allegedly delivered the pills to a federal agent who was posing as a potential investor.
The actor, who refers to himself on social media as ‘The Real Iron Man’, reportedly also promoted the fake medication on social media.
Keith claimed that he has an injection that shuts down the virus within 48 hours. He reportedly even stated that he came up with the drug after about six weeks and two decades of study.
The two-time world player of the year and his brother Roberto, who was detained with him, spent their third night behind bars in the capital Asuncion on Sunday after using forged travel documents to enter the country.
Their Brazilian lawyer Sergio Queiroz said he would ask for the pair to be released and allowed to return to their home country when they next appear before a judge on Monday.
“Ronaldinho did not commit a crime because he did not know that the passport they gave him was faked,” he said.
Queiroz said that prosecutors had agreed that the footballer had acted in good faith and the decision by a judge to order their detention was unwarranted.
Ronaldinho, considered one of the greatest footballers of all time, was the star of Brazil’s 2002 World Cup win and played for Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan and Barcelona, among others.
He and his brother arrived in Asuncion from Brazil on Wednesday and showed their passports to immigration police, who did not immediately notice any problem with the documents.
Hours later, when the passports were determined to be fake, investigators raided the room Ronaldinho was staying in and seized the brothers’ identity cards and travel documents.
Ronaldinho said the passports had been given him by people who had invited him to attend conferences sponsored by charities working with disadvantaged children.

Nigerian music artist and blogger, Tunde Ednut has always been known for breaking tables, and he’s at it again.
Earlier 2019, the rate at which Nigerian ladies were sampling and praising their buttocks pads and fake buttocks were too much, and really alarming especially on Instagram.
Fast forward to February 2019, we’re too busy talking about our careers, iPhone 11 and Buhari that no one really remembers that again…haha!
But to of it, Tunde Ednut made some serious observations.
Could it be that our ladies have found other priorities, or the slay queens are on strike? I don’t really know. It’s left for you to talk about.

According to Reno, if a woman has a nice car, nice apartment, fake lashes and uses human hair, men need to run from them.
”Dear men,
If you see a woman with: * Car * Nice apartment

An American woman from New Jersey has admitted in a federal court to entering a sham marriage with a Nigerian who was living in Pittsburgh so he could become a permanent resident, according to prosecutors.
Ajia Strauss, 28, of Newark, pleaded guilty in Pittsburgh federal court to conspiracy to defraud the United States, Triblive reported.
Strauss entered a guilty plea before United States District Court Judge Marilyn J. Horan.
Strauss and Monsuru Ogunbiyi, a citizen of Nigeria, married on June 3, 2016, in exchange for $1,500, according to court papers. The fake couple later submitted falsified documents and made untrue statements to Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Strauss and Ogunbiyi did other things to make themselves appear a couple — staging photographs, claiming to live together and opening a joint bank account, according to prosecutors.
He filed in December 2017 an application for permanent residency status. But the scheme apparently unraveled as authorities obtained text messages between the pair that showed a discussion about using Strauss’ address “and that they needed to learn more about each other,” according to the indictment.
Ogunbiyi pleaded guilty to the same offense in December and was sentenced to time served. He spent about two and a half months in jail, according to court records.
They were indicted in July 2019. Strauss is now due for sentencing June 4, 2020 at 10:00 a.m.
In the original indictment by the Department of Justice, Western District of Pennsylvania, presented to the court, “from June 2016, to March 2019, Monsuru Ogunbiyi and Ajia Strauss conspired with one another to defraud the United States.
“Ogunbiyi, a native and citizen of Nigeria, and Strauss, a native and citizen of the United States, agreed to enter into a sham marriage so that Ogunbiyi could obtain lawful permanent residency in the United States. As part of the conspiracy, Ogunbiyi agreed to pay money to Strauss, including $1,500 on the day of their June 3, 2016, marriage in New Jersey. Also as a part of the conspiracy, Ogunbiyi and Strauss submitted false and fraudulent state
Nollywood actress Oge Okoye has finally addressed those who slammed her for appearing in a video with fake resurrection pastor, Alph Lukau, last year.
Recall the actress had many dragging her for visiting the said pastor.
Finally responding to all the hate, she wrote;
“After Bad Mouthing Me behind my back, Please pray for me because I want to be perfect as you”.
Oge had explained why she visited the pastor last year saying she did this on behalf of her mum and sick aunt, and that the video, which was taken from YouTube, is from October 2018.
Her post on IG had read:
” Good morning Glam FAMILY………I try to be calm about everything and anything especially when Negativity screams out so loud. I don’t try to Calm the Storm, but will only Calm my mind and the Storm will Pass..though I owe no one any explanation as regards the heavenly race I feel like addressing THIS wildfire?
“I Travelled to see my mum as usual and she told me how she came across the youtube channel of AMI church and that she’s been following them ever since because of what God is doing in the church through Pastor Alphalukau. So my mum wanted to visit the church because of her younger sister(My aunt)who is a cancer patient, wheelchairbound and is bedridden.
“Due to Mum’s age, I didn’t want her making that long journey from Spain to South Africa so I requested for my aunt’s pictures and promised her that I would visit the church so I can stand in for her as a point of contact. That was how I visited AMI on Sunday, 16th of October 2018, last year. Go on youtube and see for yourselves.
“Please Nigerians, Is anything wrong in seeking the face of God or standing in the gap for my sick aunt? How Gullible can people be? Why fabricate stories?
Meanwhile how much do you think I will be paid to do the unimaginable? Does God forbid?
Whoever said that. May they be visited with the same bitter pill to swallow IJN. Amen?
Thank you, Lord, for all the blessings”.
National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has accused ‘merchants of hate and fake news’ of plotting to sow seeds of discord between him and President Buhari.
The former Lagos state governor said this while reacting to a statement credited to him, in which he was alleged to have described Buhari as an ‘ethnic bigot’ and an ‘agent of destabilisation’, who ‘if given the chance would ensure the disintegration of the country”.
In a statement released by his spokesman, Tunde Rahman, Tinubu denied ever making such a statement. Tinubu said the concocted statement was the “handiwork of merchants of hate and fake news”.
“Let’s dissect it: Yes Asiwaju and GMB as he then was, were not in the same party in 2003. But they were not on each other’s path to warrant any hard feelings in the first instance. GMB was contesting for the presidency in 2003, Asiwaju was Lagos governor seeking re-election which he got. GMB was contesting against President Obasanjo.
“Truth is Asiwaju would even wish that GMB defeated the dictatorial President Obasanjo who ruled the country on his whims. Against a clear decision of the Supreme Court Obasanjo seized Lagos allocation and did many unthinkable. Asiwaju would not descend so low as to label anyone ethnic bigot or religious fanatic.
“These words are neither of him nor relate to him in any way. The agents of darkness who are bent on sowing seeds of discord at this time the nation is confronting challenges of insecurity and religious extremism should tell us when he uttered those words.
“Where did he speak? Was it a newspaper interview? Was it a public lecture? No source. No attribution. The merchants of fake news just did a fantastic quote to cause mischief and create discord. We should not allow them.”

A man who claimed he helped Tupac fake his death has come back from the grave to reveal he faked his own – and says that proves the rapper is still alive too.
In December last year, it was reported that Michael Nice had died just days before he was due to release evidence that proved Tupac is still alive.
Michael, who was Tupac’s former bodyguard, made headlines when he claimed Tupac had been smuggled into Cuba with the help of former President Fidel Castro after the drive by shooting that police said claimed his life.
Now, Michael has revealed that he faked his own death.
In a video posted to YouTube, he says that he did what he did to evade his enemies.
He says: “My name’s Michael Nice. I faked my death on the 18th of December, 2018 and I’m here today, back from the dead to show why and how I faked my death.
“I’m going to put the record straight.”
Speaking from an unknown location, he continues: “I know it’s a shock to all the people who know me but I’m back, I’m back to explain everything. I confess I faked my death and I feel quit ashamed about it but it had to be done and I’m here now to explain the reasons why.”
Michael says the fact that he faked his own death proves that he also helped Tupac fake his death because he’s got the “experience” required to pull it off.
He says: “I’ve done it again with myself. It proves that I’ve got those capabilities.”
Michael also says he had been receiving threats and that if he hadn’t faked his death when he did he would have been dead by now anyway.
Michael says he arranged for an ambulance to collect him after he faked his death and that he’d used a magic trick he learned as a youngster to stop his pulse so that when a paramedic checked him they believed he was dead.
He says his “body” was taken to the hospital and that his contacts in the funeral home business arranged to pick him up and switch him out for an actual dead body which was taken to the morgue.
He says he then made his escape and that he couldn’t believe how smoothly it all went.
Michael goes on: “I laid low for a year and I’m back now to tell my story, put things straight and get on with the mission.
“There’s only one thing I can guarantee out of all of this, it doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, retribution is coming.”

A high court in Yola, Adamawa state capital, has sentenced Ibrahim Mustapha, a fake medical doctor, to 54 years in prison.
In June, the Department of State Services (DSS) arrested Mustapha, who was employed as a doctor in the state with forged medical certificates.
The convict was the principal medical officer at the cottage hospitals in Mayo Belwa and Fufore, and had reportedly performed surgical operations on several patients since 2015.

Delivering the verdict, Nathan Musa, the presiding judge, said the court considered Mustapha’s earlier plea of guilty.
“On counts one to three, I sentenced him six months each with the option of fine of N20,000 each,” the judge ruled.
“On count eight, I sentence him to three years imprisonment with the option of N50,000 fine.
“On counts four, five, six, seven and 10, I sentenced him to 10 years of prison term on each of the counts without the option of a fine.”
The judge said the sentence will run concurrently.
Bola Ilori, the state director of DSS, said Mustapha started his fake practice as a ward attendant in Gombe state before he was employed in Adamawa.

Acting Chairman of the commission, Mr Ibrahim Magu, disclosed this at an interactive session with newsmen in Abuja on Friday.

The stories are not balanced.
I don’t know how many people go to court to report the actual incident and the facts.
“That is why we have endless cases in court. We are seriously going back to the drawing board and we will call all the lawyers handling our cases to tell us the status of the cases ongoing.

Some would be brought to the courtroom in a stretcher,” he added.
He, however, added that the commission was carrying out investigations into some Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO) operating in the North-East as they were being used to move cash around.
