The DOJ said Adejorin targeted a charity in Maryland and another in New York between June and August 2020. “After a six-day trial, a federal jury convicted Olusegun Samson Adejorin, 32, a Nigerian national, of wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and unauthorized access to a protected computer to obtain information. The department added that Adejorin registered spoofed domain names to pose as employees of one charity to request withdrawals from the other. The department noted that federal sentences often fall below maximum penalties, as judges consider the U.S. The case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide DOJ initiative focused on immigration enforcement, organised crime, and violent crime.

Abia State Governor, Dr Alex Otti, has restated his long-standing position that he will retire from active politics after completing his tenure as governor, insisting that he has no presidential, vice-presidential, or senatorial ambition thereafter. So I do not have presidential ambition, nor vice-presidential ambition. The truth about it is that exactly 24 months ago, I opened up discussions at the highest level on Nnamdi Kanu. I had written extensively, even about Nnamdi Kanu and Operation Python Dance, I think in 2017 or 2018, and I condemned it. I cannot vouch for some of the recordings that the gentleman put in his video, where he said Nnamdi Kanu called for mutiny.

President Bola Tinubu has urged state governors to comply with the Supreme Court ruling granting financial autonomy to local governments. Tinubu’s remarks followed the July 11, 2024 judgment by the Supreme Court, which upheld the Federal Government’s suit seeking to enforce financial independence for local governments. However, most state governments have continued to flout this directive through joint accounts. Addressing NEC members—including National Working Committee members, and other party leaders—Tinubu reiterated the need for governors to comply, warning that further violations could warrant federal intervention. “The ultimate goal is our Supreme Court.

Joshua knocked out Paul in Round 6 with a monstrous right hand Friday night at the Kaseya Center in Miami. Paul also had his best moment in the fight in Round 5, when he caught Joshua coming in with an overhand right. Paul was floored again at the two-minute mark after Joshua connected with another right hand. It took a bit longer than expected, but the right hand finally found the destination.

Since its inception, the Trump administration has steadily rolled out a series of visa restrictions and travel bans targeting Nigeria and several other countries. Another US visa holder based in Lagos told Saturday PUNCH that he had also shelved plans to visit the United States in January. ‘Visa restrictions unfortunate’Reacting to the development, the Chief Executive Officer of Cardinal E-School and Edu Services, Sulaimon Okewole, described the visa restrictions as an “unfortunate development” with far-reaching consequences. “The United States, a nation of immigrants, is building a needless wall—not of brick, but of bureaucratic spite—and this diminishes us all. According to him, many Nigerian students had already secured admission into US universities and paid non-refundable fees.

Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Andy James, who has been with the band since 2020, has shared a playthrough video for his new solo instrumental track, “Dystopian Rain”. The artists came together a special plaque presentation to honor this cross-cultural breakthrough and the worldwide momentum behind “The End,” feat. But with how well this song connected there, let’s just say the story might not be over yet. Five Finger Death Punch and Babymetal had performed at the same festival overseas back in 2015, so I was really happy thinking they might have remembered me from then. I sang Japanese lyrics inspired by the original lyrics of ‘The End,’ and spent a lot of time experimenting to find the voice that best fit such a deep, cool track.

THE Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua fight was a complete farce, and the numbers don’t make it look any better.

Read our Privacy noticeAnthony Joshua and Jake Paul’s fight on Friday was hardly a classic, although many fans got their wish of seeing the YouTube star suffer a stoppage defeat. Joshua, a former two-time world heavyweight champion, struggled to pin down the evasive Paul in the early rounds but eventually found the target. • Follow LIVE: Joshua vs Paul fallout as Briton stops YouTuber in six roundsHe dropped Paul four times in the middle rounds of a scheduled eight, ultimately forcing the stoppage in the sixth frame at Miami’s Kaseya Centre.

Tinubu said the defence budget reflected his government’s resolve to make security the foundation of national development. The President vowed to deal with terrorists and their sponsors, reiterating that his administration would show no mercy to those involved in terrorism, banditry, kidnapping for ransom, and other violent crimes.

Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua was a difficult watch, but in the end, the fans got what they flocked to Miami to see. After multiple rounds of circling and clinging on for dear life, Paul was eventually walked down and knocked out by Joshua in the sixth. Joshua, on the other hand, threw 146 punches and landed 48 of them - a mere 33 per cent. And while it certainly wasn't pretty, mainly due to Paul's unwillingness to engage, Joshua kept his hopes of an all-British showdown with Tyson Fury alive in victory. Providing everything goes to plan, Joshua will then box Fury sometime in the second half of the year.
