Military officer arrested after lavishing N20m mistakenly credited to his account


Manna From Heaven: Military officer arrested after lavishing N20m mistakenly credited to his account

A serving airman, Lance Corporal Haruna Samuel of the Nigeria Air Force Base, Kaduna, probably thought he had received some manna from heaven when a mysterious N20 million landed in his bank account on 3 December, 2020.

Samuel went immediately on a spending binge, settling old debts and spending part of it on himself, after all Christmas was not far away. He is now facing trial for egregious dishonesty and theft. He pleaded not guilty.
The Kaduna Zone of the EFCC on Tuesday docked him before Justice Darius Khobo of the Kaduna State High Court on a charge of theft and criminal misappropriation. The defendant was alleged to have on December 3, 2020 received a credit alert of the sum of N 20, 014,300 into his bank account. The money was sent in error from the account of his employer.
The EFCC said since Samuel wasn’t expecting any payment of such magnitude, he ought to have reported the payment to his bank or employer. Instead, he went ahead to withdraw part of the money for personal use, including settling debts. After carrying out this fraudulent act, the defendant absconded from his duty post to Plateau State where he was eventually arrested by operatives of the Commission.

2023: Catholics Berate Lalong Over Attempt To Drag Pope Into Politics

August 11, 2022  Concerned Catholics in Nigeria have called for the suspension of Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong for dragging the name of Pope into local politics that has nothing to do with the Church. According to the group, Lalong should be punished for bringing the name of Pope and the Catholic Church to disrepute while giving his reasons for accepting to serve as Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council. Speaking as a press conference in Abuja addressed by National Convener/President, Dr Ben Amodu, said the concerned Catholics in Nigeria are alarmed that Lalong would elect to throw caution into the wind by dragging the revered Catholic Church into local politics in Nigeria for whatever it is worth. “The reference to the Pope in his statement for accepting to serve as the Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council was made in poor taste and a puerile attempt to drag the Catholic Church into a matter that has no bearing with the
