N5.7bn Fraud: EFCC Moves to Seize Sujimoto CEO’s Assets

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has secured a court order against Sijibomi Ogundele, CEO of Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited, over alleged diversion of ₦5.7 billion meant for 22 Smart Green School projects in Enugu State. Ogundele, whose accounts and international passport had earlier been seized, is now facing remand while investigations continue. The EFCC may also seek a fresh court order to confiscate his personal and company assets. The anti-graft agency declared Ogundele wanted two weeks ago for alleged money laundering. He later took to social media, blaming inflation and “underpriced contracts” for failing to deliver the projects. The Enugu State Government, however, accused him of absconding after receiving a 50% mobilization fee of ₦5.76bn, abandoning sites, and refusing to attend project briefings. In a statement, the government said: Ogundele delivered only shoddy and structurally weak work at […]

EPL: Arsenal Beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 to Go Top

Arsenal eased to a 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, strengthening their Premier League title push. The hosts struck first in the 32nd minute when Martín Zubimendi fired home a superb volley from distance. Seconds after the restart, Viktor Gyökeres doubled the lead, finishing off an incisive pass from Eberechi Eze in the 46th minute. Zubimendi then capped off his performance with a second goal — a header in the 79th minute — to seal the win for Mikel Arteta’s side.

They were already missing Bukayo Saka, William Saliba and Kai Havertz, but their squad depth ensured a dominant display. For Nottingham Forest, it was a tough afternoon under new manager Ange Postecoglou, who watched his team […]

Trump: NATO Must Stop Buying Russian Oil Before US Sanctions

US President Donald Trump has said he is ready to impose sweeping sanctions on Russia — but only if all NATO allies first halt Russian oil purchases and implement their own sanctions. In a post on Truth Social Saturday, which he described as an open letter to NATO and the world, Trump also urged the alliance to consider tariffs of 50–100% on China, arguing such measures would help end Russia’s war in Ukraine. “I am ready to do major Sanctions on Russia when all NATO Nations have agreed, and started, to do the same thing, and when all NATO Nations STOP BUYING OIL FROM RUSSIA,” Trump wrote. He branded NATO nations’ continued purchases of Russian oil “shocking,” saying it undermined their leverage over Moscow. Trump, who met Russian President Vladimir Putin last month at a summit in Alaska, insisted he […]

Oyo Govt, UNICEF Push for Stronger Prosecution of FGM Cases

The Oyo State Government, in collaboration with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), has called for stronger prosecution of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) cases across Edo, Ekiti, Ondo, Osun, and Oyo States. The demand was made at a 3-day Multi-sectoral Engagement meeting in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos, which brought together law enforcement officers, judicial actors, NGOs, agencies, and religious leaders. The forum focused on improving justice responses and promoting survivor-centered approaches in tackling FGM. Speaking on behalf of Oyo’s Commissioner for Information, Prince Dotun Oyelade, Permanent Secretary Rotimi Babalola described the engagement as “timely,” stressing that despite existing laws such as the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act (VAPP) and the Child Rights Law, the harmful practice persists. Babalola identified weak enforcement, low reporting, poor survivor protection, and fragmented inter-agency collaboration as major setbacks. He commended UNICEF for initiating the workshop, noting its […]

JUST-IN: Suspect Arrested in Charlie Kirk Killing, Says Trump
