Seun Egbegbe implicates younger brother in his criminal case, as Police amends charges

Lawal Kareem, who is reportedly the younger brother of
Nollywood producer, Seun Egbegbe has been arrested
alongside two others, Olalekan Yusuf, and Muyideen
Shoyombo after they were implicated by Egbagbe, alleging
that they took part in carrying out criminal activities with
them.
Seun Egbegbe who was arrested with one Oyekan Ayomide
in February for attempting to dupe Alhaji Isa Adamu
pleaded not guilty to a 40-count charge when they were
arraigned. They have since been held in prison custody as
they were unable to perfect their bail condition.
Following the arrest of the three new suspect, the State
Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID)
of the Lagos State Police Command on Monday presented
an amended charge before Justice Oluremi Oguntoyinbo of
the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos to enable the police
to arraign the suspects arrested in connection with the
criminal offenses levied against Olajide Oluwaseun
Kareem, popularly known as Seun Egbegbe.
According to the amended charge sheet, the three were
involved only in counts one and two, which accused them
of conspiring to obtain the sum of N2,450,000 and 3,000
pounds sterling from one Alhaji Isa Adamu.
The offenses contravened the provisions of section 8 of
the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences
Act, 2006.
Kareem who spoke to reporters when he was paraded at
the police command in Ikeja denied his involvement in his
brother’s criminal acts, adding that Mr. Egbegbe only
wanted to incriminate him.
He also said that Mr. Egbegbe sent him a text while in
prison custody.
'On the day Seun was arrested at Ikeja, it was my boss
that told me that he saw the story on Facebook and went
to Area F to see him,' Mr. Kareem said.
'But after then, he was charged to court and I didn’t go to
see him, only for me to receive an SMS from him saying
that he heard I was partying while he was languishing in
prison,” he added.
However, Seun Egbegbe still has an outstanding iPhone
theft case, which was adjourned to sometime in April
2017.

UK sanctions Oyakhilome’s TV over 5G/COVID-19 claims

The Office of Communications, the regulatory authority for the broadcasting and telecommunications industries in the United Kingdom, has sanctioned Loveworld Limited, operators of  LoveWorld,  a religious cable channel, for airing “unsubstantiated claims linking the pandemic to 5G technology”. The television network owned by the Founder of Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, was also penalised for feeding viewers with the claim that coronavirus is a ‘global cover-up’. In a statement on Monday published on its website, Ofcom stated that the caution followed an investigation into the matter. The statement read in part, “Our investigation found that a report on Loveworld News included unsubstantiated claims that 5G was the cause of the pandemic, and that this was the subject of a ‘global cover-up’. “Another report during the programme suggested hydroxychloroquine as a ‘cure’ for Covid-19, without acknowledging that its effectiveness and safety as a treatment was clinically u...

Jose Mourinho explains who his one-finger celebration was aimed at

Jose Mourinho certainly didn’t hide his emotions after winning the Europa League with Manchester United. After his side triumphed over Ajax 2-0, the Portuguese boss celebrated wildly. Mourinho was seen embracing his son, whilst telling all of his players to hold up three fingers to signify their fairly underwhelming ‘treble’ of the Community Shield, EFL Cup and now the Europa League. But there was one action that nobody could quite understand. Immediately after the final whistle, Mourinho could be seen shaking his index finger rather passionately at the crowd. But what did it mean? Did he mean this was the first major trophy of his spell at United? Did it mean that he was still the Special One? Or was it a message to the victims of the Manchester attacks on Monday? Well, none of the above, actually. Mourinho has actually revealed exactly who his one-finger celebration was aimed at. Mourinho explains his celebration "It's for my family," Mourinho sa...
