A frontline aspirant for Aboh Mbaise/ Ngor-Okpala Federal Constituency in the forthcoming general election, Hon. Engr.

Hon. Agulanna who is a chieftain of People's Democratic Party and a humanitarian who has brought succor and happiness to the indigent and less privileged in the society through his philanthropic gestures hails from Aboh Mbaise Local government.

He reiterated that the area has been under represented in the recent time and that his aspiration is to bring government presence closer to his constituents with verifiable projects that will have direct impact on his people.

According to him "we can not continue running in circles, time has come for the good people of Aboh Mbaise and Ngor-Okpala to get it right by sending someone with the requisite knowledge and drive to bring development in every nooks and crannies of our constituency" he stated

"With my wide range of contacts and experiences in both public and private sector, i will stop at nothing in changing the narrative of poor and ineffective representation in Aboh Mbaise/Ngor-Okpala federal constituency come 2023"

"By sending me to Abuja, i will be your voice at the National Assembly and as well bring every issue of concern in our federal constituency to the front burner which has been neglected and unattended to by person(s) sent to represent us"

He therefore called on leaders and stakeholders of PDP in Aboh Mbaise and Ngor-Okpala to put first the interest and well-being of its constituents before any other interest.

Speaking further, Hon. Engr. Agulanna also used the opportunity to urge Ngor-Okpala people and people of good conscience in his constituency to support Aboh Mbaise and his aspiration to bring the desired change they yawn for by sending him to represent them at the national assembly.

Youths Urges Rep Member Bede Eke To Make Explanations On Failed Road Contract
.....Urges NDDC To Include The Road In The Ongoing Forensic Audit Of NDDC Projects

Victor Amadi

A Coalition of Youths from Egbelu Uvuru and Mgbala Ohekelem in Aboh Mbaise and Ngor-okpala Local Government Areas have called on the Honourable Member Representing Aboh Mbaise Ngor-okpala Federal Constituency, Honourable Bede Uchenna Eke to make explanations on what led to the failure of Egbelu Uvuru- Mgbala Ohekelem Road even when NDDC and Imo River Basin Development Authority had put up billboards on the road.

Addressing news men at Rock View Hotel in Owerri, shortly after a parley by concerned Youths from the area, the spokesman of the group, Ambassador Chukwuma Njoku decried the sudden abandonment of the road contract by the contractor handling the project.

In his words, "sometime last three years, we saw a billboard on Egbelu Uvuru-Mgbala Ohekelem road, with the inscription that the road construction is been financed by Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

"Two years later, we saw another billboard on same road, this time with the inscription of Imo River Basin Development Authority. The write-up on the billboard showed that the road contract was facilitated through the office of the Honourable Member Representing Aboh Mbaise Ngor-okpala Federal Constituency at the Green Chambers of the National Assembly.

"To our greatest surprise, the company that was handling this road contract, (Solid Foundation Construction Company), did almost nothing before they left the contract site with all their equipments.

"Worthy of note is that Honourable Bede Eke has not at any time engaged anyone from our Communities to make explanations on why this road contract was no executed. The company only graded the road and left the contract site. Neither has he visited the site by way of oversight to have a personal look on the level of contract ex*****on.

"We are urging Honourable Bede Eke to make explanations on what transpired on this contract without further delays, silence at this time cannot be golden".

They Youths unanimously agreed to use all legal means to get to the root of what transpired in the road contract.

Others who spoke urged NDDC to include the road contract in the ongoing forensic audit of all contracts done through the NDDC.

They also threatened to write to EFCC and other anti graft agencies to draw their attention to the road contract fraud.

In a telephone conversation with a resident of the area Comrade John Chima, he blamed Honourable Bede Eke for the failure in the contract ex*****on and urged him to do the needful by making necessary moves towards ensuring the ex*****on of the project.

He wondered how a road contract attracted to the office of the representative could be abandoned years without any reasonable excuse for such abandonement.

Our correspondent tried to reach Honourable Bede Eke on phone for comments, but he wasn't picking his calls despite several missed calls on his phone.

Fresh Crisis Rocks Opposition PDP

Read below FBI investigation on Hushpopi dirty deals and what he said about Abba Kyari.

Six Indicted in International Scheme to Defraud Qatari School Founder and then Launder over $1 Million in Illicit Proceeds
Nigerian National Known as ‘Hushpuppi’ Admits Money Laundering in School Financing Scam and Additional Cyber and Business Email Compromise Schemes
LOS ANGELES – A federal grand jury indictment unsealed this week alleges an elaborate scheme to steal more than $1.1 million from a businessperson attempting to finance the construction of a school for children in Qatar – and the subsequent laundering of illicit proceeds through bank accounts around the world.

The three-count indictment returned on April 29 and unsealed Monday charges three U.S.-based defendants who were arrested last week – as well as three defendants believed to be in Africa – with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to engage in money laundering, and aggravated identity theft.

The criminal complaint that initiated the prosecution in February was also unsealed Monday, revealing that Ramon Olorunwa Abbas – also known by his social media handle of “Ray Hushpuppi” – was initially charged in this case. Court documents ordered unsealed today show that Abbas, a 37-year-old Nigerian national, pleaded guilty on April 20. A version of Abbas’ plea agreement filed late Tuesday outlines his role in the school-finance scheme, as well as several other cyber and business email compromise schemes that cumulatively caused more than $24 million in losses.

“The defendants allegedly faked the financing of a Qatari school by playing the roles of bank officials and creating a bogus website in a scheme that also bribed a foreign official to keep the elaborate pretense going after the victim was tipped off,” said Acting United States Attorney Tracy L. Wilkison. “Mr. Abbas, who played a significant role in the scheme, funded his luxurious lifestyle by laundering illicit proceeds generated by con artists who use increasingly sophisticated means. In conjunction with our law enforcement partners, we will identify and prosecute perpetrators of business email compromise scams, which is a massive and growing international crime problem.”

“Mr. Abbas, among the most high-profile money launderers in the world, has admitted to his significant role in perpetrating global BEC fraud, a scheme currently plaguing Americans,” said Kristi K. Johnson, the Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office. “His celebrity status and ability to make connections seeped into legitimate organizations and led to several spin-off schemes in the U.S. and abroad. Today’s announcement deals a crucial blow to this international network and hopefully serves as a warning to potential victims targeted with this type of theft.”

According to the indictment, Abbas allegedly conspired with Abdulrahman Imraan Juma, a.k.a. “Abdul,” 28, of Kenya, and Kelly Chibuzo Vincent, 40, of Nigeria, to defraud the Qatari businessperson by claiming to be consultants and bankers who could facilitate a loan to finance construction of the planned school. Juma allegedly posed as a facilitator and consultant for the illusory bank loans, while Abbas played the role of “Malik,” a Wells Fargo banker in New York, according to court documents. Vincent, in turn, allegedly provided support for the false narratives fed to the victim by, among other things, creating bogus documents and arranging for the creation of a fake bank website and phone banking line.

Yusuf Adekinka Anifowoshe, a.k.a. “AJ,” 26, of Brooklyn, New York, allegedly played a role in the fraud, assisting Abbas with a call to the victim posing as “Malik.” Special agents with the FBI arrested Anifowoshe in New York on July 22.

The conspirators allegedly defrauded the victim out of more than $1.1 million.

The proceeds of the fraud allegedly were laundered in several ways. According to the indictment, Abbas was assisted in laundering the proceeds of the fraud by Rukayat Motunraya Fashola, a.k.a. “Morayo,” 28, of Valley Stream, New York, and Bolatito Tawakalitu Agbabiaka, a.k.a. “Bolamide,” 34, of Linden, New Jersey. These two defendants also were arrested on July 22 by FBI agents.

Approximately $230,000 of the stolen funds allegedly were used to purchase a Richard Mille RM11-03 watch, which was hand delivered to Abbas in Dubai and subsequently appeared in Hushpuppi’s social media posts. Other illicit proceeds from the scheme were allegedly converted into cashier’s checks, including $50,000 in checks that were used by Abbas and a co-conspirator to fraudulently acquire a St. Christopher and Nevis citizenship, as well as a passport for Abbas obtained by creating a false marriage certificate and then bribing a government official in St. Kitts.

Court documents outline a dispute among members of the conspiracy, which allegedly prompted Vincent to contact the victim and claim that Abbas and Juma were engaged in fraud. After this contact, Abbas allegedly arranged to have Vincent jailed in Nigeria by Abba Alhaji Kyari, 46, of Nigeria. According to the affidavit, Kyari is a highly decorated deputy commissioner of the Nigeria Police Force who is alleged to have arranged for Vincent to be arrested and jailed at Abbas’ behest, and then sent Abbas photographs of Vincent after his arrest. Kyari also allegedly sent Abbas bank account details for an account into which Abbas could deposit payment for Vincent’s arrest and imprisonment.

Anifowoshe, Fashola and Agbabiaka were arrested in New York and New Jersey on July 22, and they are expected to be arraigned in Los Angeles in August. All three are currently free on bond.

A criminal complaint and an indictment contain allegations that a defendant has committed a crime. Every defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Both conspiracy counts alleged in the indictment carry a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison. Aggravated identity theft carries a mandatory two-year prison term.

The FBI is investigating this matter as part of Operation Top Dog. The FBI thanks the government of the United Arab Emirates and the Dubai Police Department for their substantial assistance in this matter. The FBI also thanks the Kenyan Office of Attorney General, Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, and Directorate of Criminal Investigations for their substantial assistance.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Khaldoun Shobaki of the Cyber and Intellectual Property Crimes Section. The Criminal Division’s Office of International Affairs provided substantial assistance in this matter.
