NIN-The Blockage of Lines of Millions of Nigerians Undemocratic-Ex-Officio TUC

Cost 1The decision of the Federal Government to block the lines of millions of Nigerians for failing to register for the National Identity Number(NIN) translates to the infringement of their Fundamental Human Rights.

This is the opinion of an Ex-Officio of the Oyo State Council of the Trade Union Congress(TUC), who is also a former chairman of the union in the state, Comrade Andrew Emelieze.

''The Federal Government has blocked the lines of millions of Nigerians, this action tramples on their Fundamental Human Rights. It is undemocratic. Instead of resolving the myriad of challenges confronting the country, the Government has only added to the problems of Nigerians. This is disturbing and unacceptable,'' Comrade Emelieze lamented.

March 21, 2022

The Department of State is taking action against PRC officials for their involvement in repressive acts against members of ethnic and religious minority groups and religious and spiritual practitioners inside and outside of China’s borders, including within the United States.

Read-Helplessness in the Face of Dirt

The United States rejects efforts by PRC officials to harass, intimidate, surveil, and abduct members of ethnic and religious minority groups, including those who seek safety abroad, and U.S. citizens, who speak out on behalf of these vulnerable populations. We are committed to defending human rights around the world and will continue to use all diplomatic and economic measures to promote accountability.

-Legalizing Crime and Criminality

Today’s action imposes visa restrictions on PRC officials who are believed to be responsible for, or complicit in, policies or actions aimed at repressing religious and spiritual practitioners, members of ethnic minority groups, dissidents, human rights defenders, journalists, labor organizers, civil society organizers, and peaceful protestors in China and beyond.

-Landlords and Tenants Associations, Crime and Criminality

We again call on the PRC government to cease its acts of transnational repression, including attempting to silence Uyghur American activists and other Uyghur individuals serving the American people by denying exit permission to their family members in China.

The United States reaffirms its support for those who bravely speak out despite the threat of retaliation. We call on the PRC government to end its ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang, repressive policies in Tibet, crackdown on fundamental freedoms in Hong Kong, and human rights violations and abuses, including violations of religious freedom, elsewhere in the country.

-Law Enforcement: The Reactionary Approach

We will continue to work with the international community to promote accountability for PRC officials responsible for atrocities and human rights violations and abuses wherever they occur, including within China, the United States, and elsewhere around the world.

Leadership

Nigeria Needs Credible and Visionary Leadership-Prof. Olagoke

Prof 5In Nigeria, the Government at all levels are now rounding up their activities in preparation for the end of this dispensation. Based on this premise, the Founder, Spiritual Head and Grand Imam of Shafaudeen-in-Isalm Worldwide, Prof. Sabitu Olagoke opines that the people’s representatives have not been above board in their performances. Excerpts : 

Governance is better articulated through the system of justice and equity concept, where all forms of discrimination and marginalization would be absent for it to be productive for enhanced prosperity.

Nigeria needs to provide a leadership that is credible and visionary.

Nigeria cannot be said to have those who represent them in government , who have been transparent and selfless to the extent of reducing hunger, diseases and poverty that is prevalent everywhere.

Leadership1Read-Helplessness in the Face of Dirt

The representatives have done little or nothing to address the worrisome absence of basic amenities, food insecurity, shortage of houses for the people among several other inadequacies.

The failure of governance at all levels in Nigeria has manifested in the declining capacity of political leaders and representatives of the people to recognize the systemic risks such as inherent and embedded in the following anti -societal acts and practices viz electoral malpractices, terrorism, armed robbery, kidnappings for ransom and ritual, ritual killings and police brutality.

-Legalizing Crime and Criminality

It is unfortunate to note that Nigeria lacks a system of government in which leadership is based on capability that is competence, good work attitude, timely response to the yearnings of the people, meritocracy and the promotion of excellence.

-Landlords and Tenants Associations, Crime and Criminality

Rather than the above mentioned, governance in Nigeria has been overwhelmed by individuals who attain power through nepotism rather than competence as evident in the following anti-social practices : Influencing voters with food rather than vision, the consolidation of power through intimidation or the imposition of candidates who are unknown to the people.

Nigerian Convicted for Cyber Fraud

Nigerian National Pleads Guilty To Participating In Scheme To Conduct Cyber Intrusions To Steal Payroll Deposits

Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that CHARLES ONUS pled guilty to computer fraud in connection with a scheme to conduct cyber intrusions in order to steal payroll deposits from multiple user accounts maintained by a company that provides human resources and payroll services to employers across the United States. ONUS was previously arrested on April 14, 2021 in San Francisco while traveling to the United States from Nigeria and has been detained since his arrest. ONUS pled guilty today before U.S. District Judge Paul G. Gardephe.

Read-Legalizing Crime and Criminality

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said: “Charles Onus admitted to participating in a scheme to steal hundreds of thousands of hard-earned dollars from workers across the United States by hacking into a payroll company’s system and diverting payroll deposits to prepaid debit cards he controlled. Our Office will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to zealously arrest and prosecute those who seek to commit cybercrimes targeting Americans from behind a keyboard abroad.”

-Landlords and Tenants Associations, Crime and Criminality

According to the Indictment, public court filings, and statements made in court:

From at least in or about July 2017 through at least in or about 2018, ONUS participated in a scheme to conduct cyber intrusions of multiple user accounts maintained by a company that provides human resources and payroll services to employers across the United States (the “Company”), in order to steal payroll deposits processed by the Company.

-Law Enforcement: The Reactionary Approach

During the course of the scheme, unauthorized access was obtained to over 5,500 Company user accounts through a cyber intrusion technique referred to as “credential stuffing.” During a credential stuffing attack, a cyber threat actor collects stolen credentials, or username and password pairs, obtained from other large-scale data breaches of other companies. The threat actor then systematically attempts to use those stolen credentials to obtain unauthorized access to accounts held by the same user with other companies and providers, to compromise accounts where the user has maintained the same password.

After a Company user account was compromised, the bank account information designated by the user of the account was changed so that ONUS would receive the user’s payroll to a prepaid debit card that was under ONUS’s control.

From at least in or about July 2017 through at least in or about 2018, at least approximately 5,500 Company user accounts were compromised and more than approximately $800,000 in payroll funds were fraudulently diverted to prepaid debit cards, including those under the control of ONUS. The compromised Company user accounts were associated with employers whose payroll was processed by the Company, including employers located in the Southern District of New York.

-Government Workers-A Subject of Debate

ONUS was arrested on April 14, 2021 at San Francisco International Airport after arriving on a flight from Abuja, Nigeria. According to statements ONUS made to U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the airport, ONUS was traveling to the United States for a two-week vacation in Las Vegas.

* * *

ONUS, 34, a resident and national of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, pled guilty to one count of computer fraud for unauthorized access to a protected computer to further intended fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. The maximum potential sentence in this case is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes only, as any sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the judge.

ONUS is scheduled be sentenced on May 12, 2022, by Judge Gardephe.

Mr. Williams praised the outstanding investigative work of the FBI and IRS-CI. Mr. Williams also thanked the New York City Police Department, the FBI New York Cyber Task Force, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the FBI Field Office in San Francisco for their assistance in the investigation of this case.

The prosecution of this case is being handled by the Office’s Complex Frauds and Cybercrime Unit. Assistant United States Attorney Sagar K. Ravi is in charge of the prosecution.

Drug Dealer Sentenced to 25 Years

Drug Dealer Sentenced to 25 Years in Prison for Selling the Fentanyl that Resulted in Death of User; Longest Sentence to Date

SAN DIEGO – Jahvaris Lamoun Springfield was sentenced in federal court today to 300 months in prison for selling the fentanyl pills that resulted in the fatal overdose of U.S. Army veteran Brendan James Gallagher on February 5, 2019. This is the longest sentence to date in this district for this crime.

On August 27, 2021, following a three-day trial before U.S. District Judge Larry Alan Burns, a jury convicted Springfield of causing Gallagher’s death by distributing fentanyl to Gallagher on February 5, 2019.

Read-Legalizing Crime and Criminality

The evidence presented at trial showed that Gallagher was a U.S. Army veteran who served overseas in Afghanistan. Upon his return to the United States, Gallagher was honorably discharged. In 2018, Gallagher moved from Boston to San Diego in an attempt to break his addiction. However, Gallagher turned to opioid drugs in the form of counterfeit oxycontin pills later that year.

-Landlords and Tenants Associations, Crime and Criminality

The evidence also showed that, on the afternoon of February 5, 2019, Gallagher sent text messages to Springfield seeking to purchase oxycontin pills. Later that day, Gallagher’s roommates called 911 to report that Gallagher was nonresponsive in his bedroom. When agents arrived at the residence, they found two counterfeit oxycontin pills that tested positive for fentanyl. Additionally, Gallagher’s autopsy showed a fatal concentration of fentanyl in his blood. In the investigation that followed, agents obtained evidence showing that Springfield sold Gallagher pills on February 5, 2019. When agents arrested Springfield, they found counterfeit oxycontin pills that tested positive for fentanyl in the vehicle Springfield had been driving.

DEA Narcotics Task Force Team 10 led the investigation in this case. Team 10 is a specialty unit, with investigators from HSI, FBI, San Diego Police Department, CA Department of Health Care Services, and the San Diego District Attorney’s Office, that investigates overdose deaths in San Diego.  Team 10 responds to the discovery of overdose victims and aggressively pursues criminal cases, up the distribution chain, against both the dealers and their sources of supply.

-Law Enforcement: The Reactionary Approach

“This is the longest federal sentence to date in a case of a drug dealer being held responsible for the death of a customer in the Southern District of California, and it should put dealers and those who supply them on notice.  Every time we have an overdose death, law enforcement will come looking for you, because lives are at stake,” said U.S. Attorney Randy Grossman. “We will not stop with the street-level dealers but will follow the supply chain as far up as necessary and will use every available criminal and civil tool to combat this deadly epidemic and stop these tragic losses.” Grossman thanked the prosecution team as well as DEA Team 10 investigators for their hard work on the case.

-Government Workers-A Subject of Debate

“Today’s sentencing of Jahvaris Springfield is a reflection of the hard work of the investigators assigned to DEA’s Team 10,” said DEA Special Agent in Charge Shelly S. Howe.  “These dedicated men and women work tirelessly around the clock to hold drug dealers accountable for the deaths they are causing and to bring justice to families who have lost their loved ones. This 25-year sentence is proof that their efforts have paid off.”

The United States Attorney’s Office is working closely with the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office, the San Diego Police Department, the Drug Enforcement Administration and other federal, state and local law enforcement partners to investigate and prosecute cases targeting those who supply drugs in fatal overdose cases.

Don't Buy Govt Land from Fraudsters-ADC to Kenyans

LandThe Agricultural Development Corporation(ADC) has warned Kenyans to ignore entreaties by fraudsters to sell the corporation's land nationwide at give-away prices.
The ADC issued this warning through its Director, Richard Ngomo, who lamented that several Kenyans have been swindled by the fraudsters.
“ADC land is not for sale. ADC has not given land, especially in the Coast region. Anybody purporting to be selling ADC land is doing so at his own risk. Any developer wanting to buy land knows the channels of getting land from private entities, but for public land, as far as ADC is concerned, is not available for disposal at this point in time,” he stated.

The Director cited the Coast region where Kenyans had bought over 500,000 pieces of land amounting to Ksh25 billion as a good example.

The director added that part of the 1.75 million acres of land for the Galana Kulalu project had been affected by fraudulent schemes with many dwellers purchasing the pieces of land below the market value.

‘’The youths who ought to confront the wrong system by challenging the evil of ritual killings are part of the evil by their engagement in fraud and other economic crimes. This is glaring in the unabating ritual killings in different parts of the country. To save the situation, the youths must identify and expose those among them who are involved.’’

Nigerian Nationals Sentenced for Role in Money Laundering Conspiracy

 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – A federal judge sentenced two Nigerian nationals yesterday for their role in an international money laundering conspiracy, announced U.S. Attorney Prim F. Escalona and FBI Special Agent in Charge Johnnie Sharp, Jr. 

Read-Legalizing Crime and Criminality

U.S. District Court Judge Anna M. Manasco sentenced Paulinus Ebhodaghe, 40, of Clementon, New Jersey to 46 months in prison.  Ebhodaghe pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering in September 2021. Ohimai Asikhia, 37, of Glassboro, New Jersey, was sentenced to 18 months in prison. Asikhia pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering in March 2021.

-Landlords and Tenants Associations, Crime and Criminality

“The defendants helped cybercriminals obscure the source of their ill-gotten gains and squirrel away fraud proceeds in overseas accounts,” U.S. Attorney Escalona said.  “Citizens are urged to carefully scrutinize any email directing the transfer of money via wire. I would like to thank the FBI for their hard work in tracking down and bringing these defendants to justice.”

“Business email compromise is one of the most financially damaging online crimes,” SAC Sharp said. It exploits the fact that so many of us rely on email to conduct business—both personal and professional. If you or your company fall victim to BEC, it’s important that you act quickly and notify your financial institution. Then, immediately file a report with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, at www.ic3.gov.''

-Law Enforcement: The Reactionary Approach

According to court documents, from June 2018 through November 2018, Ebhodaghe and Asikhia helped launder hundreds of thousands of dollars in fraud proceeds. During the course of the conspiracy, they would receive wire transfers from business email compromise, romance scam, and other fraud victims; move the fraud proceeds between bank accounts to disguise their origin and conceal their fraudulent nature; and then wire the proceeds to bank accounts in Nigeria or use them to purchase automobiles that were shipped overseas. Ebhodaghe and Asikhia typically received fees of twenty percent or more of the funds that they laundered.

The FBI investigated the case, which was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Edward J. Canter.
