Ghana deports 16 Nigerians for engaging in cyber crimes
16 young Nigerians have been deported from Ghana, after being accused by the country’s Financial and Intelligence Agency of engaging in cyber crimes.
Dr Chukwu Emeka, the Controller of the Seme Command of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) who disclosed this at a news conference on Friday, said preliminary investigation revealed that some of the young boys were lured into criminal activities due to the get-rich syndrome some Nigerian youths are developing.
Emeka appealed to Nigerians to always travel with valid documents, and also live and do their businesses according to the law of the land they had travelled to.
He said;
“Ghana’s Financial and Intelligence Agency accused them of cyber crime but from our preliminary investigation, we discovered that some of them were lured into these criminal activities due to the get-rich syndrome our youths are developing.
“Some of them are victims because they were deceived that they can make money if they leave Nigeria. Unfortunately, they don’t get the actual thing they bargained for in Ghana.
“Further investigation also showed that most of them left the country through illegal routes or through the sea to other West African countries.”
Liz Truss’ personal phone was ‘hacked’ by spies suspected of working for Vladimir Putin , it has been reported. According to the Mail on Sunday, agents thought to be working for the Kremlin downloaded a year’s worth of messages and top secret discussions with international allies. But it’s claimed Boris Johnson and Cabinet Secretary Simon Case agreed to suppress information about the cyber-attack, which was discovered during the Tory leadership campaign. Allies were worried that if the news broke it could derail her chances of becoming Prime Minister - and it’s claimed she “had trouble sleeping” until Mr Case “imposed a news blackout.” The incendiary story will raise serious questions about the UK’s security apparatus - and of the judgement of both Mr Johnson and Mr Case. Mr Case this week decided not to investigate Home Secretary Suella Braverman ’s alleged leak of sensitive information, despite widespread calls for a probe. A UK Government spokesperso...
Rishi Sunak has vowed to deliver for Brits by working "day in, day out" as he made his first speech since winning the race to become the country's next Prime Minister. In a brief address that lasted just 86 seconds and only 184 words, the new Tory leader said Liz Truss led with "grace and dignity" during her brief stint in office. He warned the country faced a "profound economic challenge" and needed "stability and unity" to build a "better, more prosperous future for our children and our grandchildren." This comes as this afternoon Sunak ruled out a general election and told Tory MPs to "unite or die" in his first speech as Prime Minister. The former Chancellor had secured the backing of at least 200 Conservative MPs ahead of the 2pm nomination deadline to be Tory leader. His rival Ms Mordaunt bowed out moments before the deadline. Boris Johnson briefly sparked outrage after cutting his Dominican Republic holiday short...
The United States, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), is providing $1 million in immediate humanitarian assistance to support the people affected by unprecedented flooding in Nigeria. The unusually heavy rainfall and resulting flooding have affected nearly 2.8 million people across the country. In addition, many homes have been damaged or completely destroyed, displacing millions of people. The floods have exacerbated an already critical humanitarian situation in Nigeria, where ongoing conflict, especially in the northern region, has driven millions of people from their homes. In the same region, more than 4 million people are projected to continue experiencing acute food insecurity amid the worsening global food crisis. We are also concerned that standing floodwaters could increase the risk of cholera and other waterborne diseases in Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states, where cholera outbreaks were declared in August and September and at least...
