  A wedding in Uttar Pradesh’s Bijnor turned into a fight between the bride and groom’s families after a disagreement over the traditional ‘joota chupai’ (shoe hiding) ritual.  The groom, Muhammad Shabir from Chakrata in Uttarakhand, gave Rs 5,000 to the bride’s sister-in-law instead of the Rs 50,000 she demanded to return his shoes. This angered the bride’s family, and some women called the groom a beggar, which led to a heated argument. According to Shabir’s family, the situation got worse when the bride’s relatives locked them in a room and beat them with sticks. However, the bride’s family said the fight started when Shabir’s relatives questioned the quality of the gold gifts given during the wedding. The bride’s brother claimed that the groom’s family insulted them by saying they valued money more than the bride. As the fight grew serious, the police were informed and a team quickly reached the wedding venue to calm down both parties. The families were taken to Najibabad ...

      The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has secured the conviction and sentencing of one Efe Egube, a former Bank Manager, to
seven years imprisonment before Justice Atinuke Ipaye of the Lagos
State High Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos.
The convict, who was a Branch Manager of the defunct Oceanic Bank, was
arraigned alongside his company, Ocean Energy Trading and Services
Limited, sometime in 2014 on a 19-count charge bordering on obtaining
money by false pretence to the tune of N50, 049,000.00, an offence
contrary to Section 1(1) and (3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other
Related Offences Act No. 14of 2006.
Egube’s journey to prison began after the Commission received a petition dated February 6, 2013 written by A.A. Malami, SAN & Co. on behalf of Sanusi Kamba, owner of Aminu Gandi Petroleum Limited.
The petitioner alleged that between 2007 and 2008, the defendant used
his position as a Branch Manager to facilitate the granting of a
credit facility to the petitioner, which was disbursed in tranches.The defendant was also said to have given the petitioner instruction to make payments into the accounts of some individuals and companies for the purchase of petroleum products to the tune of N50, 049,000.00.
However, the petroleum products were never supplied to the petitioner
by the individuals and companies, thereby making it impossible for the petitioner to repay the loan when it became due.
He pleaded not guilty to the charge, thereby setting the stage for his trial.
In the course of the trial, the prosecution presented six witnesses
and tendered several documents that were admitted in evidence by the
court against the defendant. The defendant, however, testified in his trial.
Delivering her judgment, Justice Ipaye convicted and sentenced Egube to seven years imprisonment on counts 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10,11,12, 13 and 17.
The sentences are to run concurrently from the day of conviction.
Justice Ipaye also gave a restitution order against the convict and his company "for the repayment forthwith of the total amount obtained by false pretence.”
