Court adjourns trial of internet celebrity Mompha

Posted: 12 Mar 2021 04:00 AM PST

A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Wednesday further adjourned until May 26, for the continuation of the trial of internet celebrity, Ismaila Mustapha (a.k.a Mompha), standing trial for N32.9 billion fraud.

Mustapha was charged by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on 14 counts bordering on fraud, money laundering and running a foreign exchange business without the authorisation of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

The commission later amended the charge to 22 counts.

The defendant was arraigned alongside his firm, Ismalob Global Investment Ltd.

He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge and was granted bail in the sum of N100 million with one surety in like sum.

Prosecution closed its case in July 2020 after calling 10 witnesses.

The defence filed a no-case submission on the grounds that the prosecution did not make out any case against Mustapha.

Justice Mohammed Liman, in December 2020, dismissed the no-case submission and called on Mustapha to open defence.

On Wednesday, the trial could not proceed as earlier planned, as the judge was in a meeting.

Parties in the suit were, consequently, given a new trial date of May 26.

In the charge, EFCC accused the defendant of procuring Ismalob Global Investment Ltd. and unlawfully retaining in its account, an aggregate sum of N32.9 billion from 2015 to 2018.

It alleged that Mustapha laundered the sum through Ismalob Global Investment Ltd.

Both defendants were alleged to have negotiated foreign exchange transactions in various sums such as N9.4 million, N20 million, N10.4 million, N2.4 million, N100 million, N61 million, N40.7 million and N42 million.

Mustapha was also alleged to have aided Ismalob to illegally retain an aggregate sum of N 14 billion in its account.

The alleged offences contravene the provisions of Sections 15(2) and 18(3) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act of 2011 as amended.

Divorced Kenyan Gospel Singer Advises Women To Stick To Their Cheating Husbands

Posted: 12 Mar 2021 02:30 AM PST

After her marital experience,  Kenyan gospel artiste, Loise Kim has advised women in her country not to leave their husbands over infidelity.

Loise who was rumoured to have contemplated suicide after her husband left her for a white woman, took to her Instagram, and said that it is unwise to leave a man over infidelity, adding that no man is better than the other.

Continuing, on International Women's Day, March 8, she celebrated Hilary Clinton and all the women who forgave their cheating husbands.

She wrote;
"Am not here to encourage adultery or polygamy, but here is where the tyre touches the road. In this world I am in, I have learnt that," she wrote.

"No woman should leave her husband because he has taken another woman reason, no man is better than the other, just know how to handle him and solve your issues.

"If you leave your husband because he has taken another woman and you think that you will go and get a better man out there, am sorry you are wrong, what you will get is another philanderer who is worse than your husband. Fight for this man who belongs to you.
Therefore, women, stick to your men, know how to handle them, solve your issues and how you will change him. Lakini kiulizo tu, is a man polygamous by nature????????"

"Still in the mood of celebrating the Womens international day, let's celebrate the wives who forgave their cheating husband's, One of them is Hillary clinton, and in our neighborhood we have them,"

"They forgave husbands, held tight to their marriages and saved their marriages from unnecessary divorce. Our old day parents held to their marriages despite having the knowledge that the husband had another woman.

"Where is the modern woman going wrong? We the modern women, Wenye Hawataki stress, na pressure, na tunajiweza we don't care, makosa kidogo ikipatikana kwa boma,
we react very first and make hasty decisions without thinking and finally we leave,"

"Ukikaribia uzee is when you realize you need someone, to be with in old age. Therefore, why can't we teach our young women to fight for their marriages? Solve issues, forgive and stick to that marriage. Can we pray and break this marriage breakups curses and we say enough is enough.

"We dont want our daughters and sons to join us in this field of divorces and singles, let us guard marriages at all cost. Women, let us have a straight face on this issues, let us not misunderstood and misinterpret facts. Let us agree to face facts head on.
To those strong women, kudos, you did the right thing. Marriage works!"
