PASTOR JAILED[10 YRS] FOR FRAUD

Justice Buba found Misters Abrefera and Okpogo including their company, Mustard Seed Micro Investment Limited guilty of a four counts of carrying out banking practice without licence. The accused persons were said to have collected over N1 billion from different individuals and organizations as deposits in an illegal banking practice. They have also failed to account for all the deposits they collected.

Mustard Seed Micro Investment Limited was convicted on two counts and fined N2 million on each of the counts. Misters Abrefera and Okpogo, both directors of Mustard Seed Micro Investment limited, were also convicted on two counts and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment each. They were equally fined N2 million on each of the counts. The terms are to run concurrently.

The accused persons were said to have sometimes between 2006 and 2007 at Warri, Delta State engaged in banking practice without the required banking license and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 2(2) of the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act, Cap B3, Vol 2, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004.

Part of the charges against the accused persons reads: “that Pastor Glory Okeoghene Abrefera, Reverend Vincent Okpogo and Mrs Nonye Abrefera (still at large) whilst being directors of Mustard Seed Micro Investment Limited sometime between 2006 and 2007 at Warri, Delta State within the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court knowingly consented to the carrying on of banking business without a valid licence by the company thereby committed an offence contrary to Section (2) and 49(1)of the Banks and other Financial Institutions Act Cap B(3), Vol 2, laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004”.

The pastors were arrested following a petition filed by some of the depositors to the EFCC, detailing the dubious activities of the accused persons. The EFCC subsequently intervened, investigated the activities of the voodoo bank and arraigned the suspects in 2011.

Counsel to EFCC, G. K. Latona described the judgment as a milestone in the Nigerian judiciary. He said it was the first time that persons were convicted for carrying out banking practice without the required licence. He said the judgment would serve as a deterrent to other persons engaging in such nefarious activities.

LIONEL MESSI RETAINS THE WORLD BEST PLAYER AWARD FOR THE FORTH YEAR, SETS ANOTHER RECORD

[Watch Video Below] 
I don't know what Pele has to say about this small man but he's just the best of this generation and I dare say of all time.

FC Barcelona and Argentine Winger-Striker, Lionel Messi has for the forth year running won the coveted Fifa Ballon Dor World Player of the Year 2012. A record no other player in the world holds little wonder he got a standing ovation from the audience.

Team mate +Andres Iniesta won the Euro cup with Spain and was named the best player of the tournament  He also won the Spanish Kings cup with FC Barcelona.

Another Runner Up, Christiano Ronaldo once again was denied by the unique Leo. He scored over 40 goals to help his club Real Madrid snatch the La Liga tittle from FC Barcelona. He's the only player in the history of La Liga to score against all 19 clubs in the league in the same year. He also scored against arch rival FC Barcelona to give Real Madrid the Spanish Supercup.

Lionel Messi victory is faultless, the list is endless but I'd mention the most prominent among them, He broke a standing 40 years old record of G.Muller of 85 goals scored in a calender year and ended the year on 91 goals. A record only him is capable of breaking else, we might have to wait for another 60 years for it to be broken.

Congratulations +Lionel Messi ...I heard you gave a shout out to your Baby Mama Antoniella, that's cool.

Random Pics from Google

In a weird joke i'd say may be the Independent National Electoral Commision INEC shouldn't have an office in Abuja.

May 24, 2011 there was fire incident at the same INEC office and today 07/01/2013 Fire again.

Reports have it that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office in Abuja was on fire.

As usual, cause of the incident could not be ascertain [mb for now only] but eye witness confirmed men of the Fire service are still battling to put off the inferno. No casualty record yet, the report said.

Well, we have to be very careful with flammables in this harmattan season.
