    Heartbreaking photo of Nigerian man tied to luggage in car boot over transport hike causes stir

    A photo of an unidentified Nigerian man, tied to a luggage in a car boot due to the increasing transportation cost has gone viral on social media.

    Since the emergence of President Bola Tinubu as the country’s president, his tenure has brought a mix of experiences for many Nigerians, especially the (in)famous “subsidy is gone” declaration on May 29, 2023, which threw the country into a cycle of fuel scarcity, and over time increased the cost of transportation.

    In the photo that has become a growing sensation, the Nigerian man, who’s unable to afford transportation cost to his destination, had to be tied to the back of the car boot, likely after many heartfelt pleas to the driver.

    The photo has sparked mixed reactions amongst Nigerians on social media.

    Outrage as Man kills his pet, uses the meat to prepare special delicacy for friends on his birthday

    Some Nigerians have expressed outrage after a Nigerian man identified as Justphixicalas killed his pet, a cat, in celebration of his birthday.

    Sharing the photos from the delicacy made from the remains of the cat, the man via the microblogging platform, X formerly Twitter, noted that he killed his pet because he had no money to buy meat.

    Sharing the photos, he wrote: “There’s nothing to celebrate in this country if you’re not a politician child.  However, I bless GOD for life and adding another fruitful year to my life. Happy birthday 🎉🎁🎈🎂🎊 to me,no money to buy meat 🍖 so I had to ki!! My pet cat 🐱“Gracie” to entertain my friends.”

    Reacting, netizens expressed disappointment as they condemned the man’s action of killing his pet for food.

    One user, Joyce wrote: “What is so disturbing is that people wull believe will believe whatever they see on social media. The man probably killed a bush meat and posted a picture of a cat he found on Google. Gosh, have internet people really become that gullible?”

    brownlemon95 wrote: “That act is deeply disturbing and reflects a complete lack of empathy and respect for life. Killing a pet, especially one that likely trusted and depended on its owner, is an act of cruelty and betrayal. Serving the cat as food, particularly to celebrate a special occasion, only amplifies the moral depravity of the situation. This behavior is alarming and raises serious concerns about the individual’s mental state and understanding of right and wrong. it’s clear that this person lacks basic compassion and empathy. Such behavior could be indicative of a deeper, more dangerous mindset. If he is capable of such brutality toward a defenseless animal, it raises serious concerns about how he might treat others, including women. Ladies should be particularly wary of him and take measures to avoid any interaction, as this level of callousness suggests a potential threat to their safety and well-being. He is a moving red-flag.”

    Man climbs Tallest mast in Abuja to end life over economic hardship

    A man identified as Shaibu Alhaji on Monday climbed the tallest mast of a broadcast organisation, Aso Radio and Television, located in the Katampe axis of Abuja over economic hardship.

    The man, who’s from Borno State threatened to jump down if his demands were not met after he was sighted by members of the organisation’s staff.

    The man who refused to climb down has demanded that the Bola Tinubu-led administration to reverse the policies exacerbating the suffering in the country.

    A written letter by Alhaji titled: ‘It’s Long Enough!!!’, sighted by TheNewsGuru.com revealed his reasons for deciding to end his life including insecurity, continued suffering and inflation.

    The letter wrote: “Long enough for government to standby and do nothing while Boko Haram, Bandits and Kidnappers are killing people in the country everyday;

    “Long enough for citizens to continue suffering from hunger”;

    “Long enough for inflation rate to continue rising rapidly”;

    “Long enough for number of out of school children to continue increasing;

    “Long enough fort me to keep quit.”

    Alhaji kept to his stance of ending his lives despite pleas by onlookers and other concerned members at the scene.

    Operatives of the Federal Capital Territory Command had, however, arrived at the scene to resolve the situation, and as of press time, it is uncertain if the man had climbed down the mask.

  • UK based Nigerian Man narrates ordeal in the hands of fraudsters

    UK based Nigerian Man narrates ordeal in the hands of fraudsters

    He left Nigeria to UK early last year. He maintained his Nigeria bank accounts both domiciliary and Naira accounts.

    As a Nigerian hustling over there, he works and saves his money in both naira and dollar in his accounts. Late last months, he noticed there were several debit in his accounts.
    He kept receiving debit alert via email.
    Alerts of different transfers and recharge cards. He called his brother in Nigeria to help him visit his bank to make complaint about his issues but the bank told his brother that he can’t make complaint on behalf of the account holder because it is against the bank’s policy.
    His brother was given a phone number and email where the account holder could forward his complaints to.
    In this process, several transfers has been made in the account. The account owner contacted the bank and the account was restricted.
    After that, he wrote a long legal content to sue the bank for illegal deduction of his money while he was away. The bank as usual carried out her investigation and the outcome was shocking.
    After the account holder left the country, he didn’t deactivate his number from his account.
    His phone number was inactive for several months so his network provider assumed he had lost or stopped using it, they sold it to another person.
    Anytime he makes any transaction on his account, the new owner of the number gets alert and could also see the balance in the account.
    The new owner went ahead to start recharging the line on the account. This is a level where no authentication pin was needed since it was the same number on the account.
    The person didn’t stop at that, he created a cardless pin just to make transfer into another bank. He started recharging and transferring money to his accounts in other banks. He transfered to friends, families.
    If he goes to buy clothes, he would transfer to them and a whole lot of people.
    After this,the bank started sending mails to all the banks he transfered money to notify them of the fraudulent transactions that came into those accounts.
    The banks restricted all the accounts that received inflow from the subject accounts with a text restriction.
    ” fraudulent transactions, apprehend customer on sight”
    So when these account owners were unable to withdraw from their accounts, they go into the bank to make complaint and when the bank workers sees the text restrictions, they consult the law enforcement agents and the account holders gets arrested and taken into custody.
    With this action, everyone that received money from the account including his parents and brothers were all arrested.
    He had transfered almost 300k in a month and recharged almost 10k.
    He was arrested too.
    They bank made sure the total amount debited from the account was returned before they allow him and others to be bailed on a huge amount of money.
    How to curb the menace
    1. If you are leaving the country, deactivate your sms alert on all your banks and leave only email because when your service provider sees that your number is inactive for a long time, it will be sold to another person and it is very dangerous if the number lands on a wrong hand.
    2. Never allow anyone use your account to receive money from an untrusted source, because if it is a fraudulent transaction into your account, you would be accused as an accomplice.
  • Nigerian man arrested in Kenya with $880K, €60K

    Nigerian man arrested in Kenya with $880K, €60K

    A Nigerian identified as Bala Muazu has been arrested at the Jomo Kenyatta Airport with thousands of dollars and Euro stashed inside his luggage.

    Kenyan officials said the bag contained $ 880,000 , 63,000 Nigerian Naira and 60,000 euros

    Bala was nabbed while transiting to board another flight to Dubai, regarded as the money laundering capital of the world.

    He arrived Nairobi on a Kenya Airways flight from Lagos on 4 December.

    Kenya’s Assets Recovery Agency (ARA) seized the cash which was handed to airport authorities for safekeeping after the suspect failed to provide documents that allowed him to carry such a huge amount of money.

    The agency suspected him to be a money launderer as Section 12 (1) of the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act requires a person to declare any amount above $10,000 (Ksh 1 million).

    Detectives argued that he could have transferred money to banks in the Middle East rather than travelling with cash.

    However, Bala claimed the money was for legitimate business.
