"Alarmed by the consistency and professionalism of investigation being conducted, the company reached out to  Lawal with an offer of  N100,000,000( One Hundred Million Naira)  as bribe to "bury" the matter".  

"In a grand design to trap the corrupt officials, Lawal played along.
On Monday, two representatives of the company Meng Wei Kun and Xu Kuoi offered him  cash totalling fifty million naira in  their office along airport road, Sokoto. The cash was offered as a first installment".

"The suspects were promptly arrested with the cash as an evidence".

"Investigation of the construction  company was informed by an intelligence on alleged conspiracy;  misappropriation of public funds;  embezzlement; official corruption; abuse of office, stealing and money laundering obtained against the Zamfara state government through inflated and uncompleted  contracts awarded to the company". 

"Investigations have so far revealed that China Zounghao Ltd has received payments of over N41,000,000,000.00 (Forty One Billion Naira) from the Zamfara state government out of which about N16,000,000,000.00 (Sixteen Billion Naira) equivalent to over $53,000,000.00(Fifty Three Million US Dollars) was allegedly diverted and traced to some bureau de change operators".

The Commission added that, the suspects would soon be charged to court.

'The Ten Virgins' Filmmaker, Blessing Egbe reacts to reality stars turning actors, says actors must 'preserve the mystery'

Posted: 12 May 2020 06:30 AM PDT

Blessing Egbe has reacted to the latest trend of fellow filmmakers casting reality stars who have no understanding of the craft.

In a series of tweets shared on Sunday, May 10, 2020, Nigerian filmmaker, Blessing Egbe aired her views on how the latest trend of social media celebrities might be influencing the acting profession negatively.

While reacting to the latest trend of fellow filmmakers casting reality stars who have no understanding of the craft, the 'Lekki Wives' creator also revealed how the latest wave of Nollywood movie stars may be losing their worth by sharing every aspect of their lives on social media.

"Most have become reality stars, Some comedians, others liars, all to grow the BRAND. Fans know their everyday activities, they know when they wake up, when they orgasm and when they fly top class. One can actually write a book about some, just by following their daily log ins", Egbe tweeted.

The filmmaker' s solution to the ticking time bomb is that casting directors and producers over look an actor's social media presence and cast an actor for his ability to deliver a convincing act.

Zubby Micheal slams those who said he got spiritual powers from Odumeje

Posted: 12 May 2020 05:00 AM PDT

Nollywood actor Zubby Michael, has denied being a church member of controversial Nigerian clergyman, Odumeje, who is renowned for a number of unorthodox practices.

Recall that in 2019, videos had circulated the internet of Zubby dancing and jumping alongside Odumeje as the latter went on with his deliverance and prophesies.

This had prompted claims in some quarters that the actor was one of the cleric's church members.

But on Sunday, the 35-year-old thespian took to his Instagram page to lash out at those he said were spreading false claims that he got spiritual powers for his Nollywood success from Odumeje.

Admitting that he had known the controversial clergyman as a friend back in Onitsha, Zubby added that he doesn't go to church, talk more of having the self-acclaimed 'Indaboski' as a pastor.


According to him, Odumeje had once graced his housewarming party by doling out over N1 million in cash while he reciprocated the gesture by giving N500,000 during the pastor's birthday party.

"The lion, Odumeje. Where is he leading you all? You guys can enjoy all the drama but I hate it when you say, 'that's where Zubby got powers from, he made Zubby successful'," Zubby explained.

"Are you sick? The thunder that will fire those making such claims will come from Adamawa! I'm not denying he's my friend way back from Onitsha. But does that mean I go there to pray?


"Odumeje is my guy, not my pastor. Don't be stupid. I don't go to church. I'm more of a spiritual person than a religious. So I hate it when you tag me in your unnecessary drama.

"Especially Tunde Ednut. Are you stupid? Why are you promoting unnecessary drama? Don't you see what others promote? You're a fool. I'm saying this because of my fans.

"Odumeje is my guy; during my house warming, he came and sprayed one point something million. He invited me during his birthday, I went there sprayed N500k.

"But, because of that, people are already making false claims. Stop that nonsense. He's my friend, not my pastor. If you want me in your own show, then pay me and I'll definitely come."

Posted: 12 May 2020 01:30 AM PDT

Some Nigerians are dragging actress Lizzy Anjorin on social media after Toyin Abraham shared a video to celebrate Mother's Day.

Recall that Toyin Abraham posted an emotional video which captured her child birth. The video shows Toyin's journey into the ward down to the process of giving birth.

Following the release of the video, Toyin's fans have been throwing shade at Lizzy Anjorin. Recall that Lizzy got into a fight with Abraham after she claimed the Alakada Reloaded star birthed her son in a traditional home.

However, Toyin's child birth video is enough evidence to prove that Anjorin lied and this led many people to mock her online while hailing Abraham for her maturity.

See some comments from Abraham's Instagram page:

tunexyoba: Yet some unfortunate souls said "Ile Alagbo ni won bimo si"..Happy Mother's Day jare We love and appreciate you."
