 Court sacks MC Oluomo as NURTW national president ..Reaffirms rival Baruwa as union leader The Court of Appeal has sacked Musiliu Akinsanya aka MC Oluomo as the National President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW). In a ruling that upheld the earlier judgment of the National Industrial Court, the appellate court sacked MC Oluomo and reaffirmed Tajudeen Baruwa as the legitimate leader of the union. Baruwa had assumed office after a properly conducted election held at the union’s headquarters in Abuja. The three-member panel of the Appeal Court dismissed the appeal filed by MC Oluomo’s faction, declaring it devoid of merit. In addition, the court imposed a fine of N100,000 on the appellants, further solidifying Baruwa’s leadership position. Reports quoting court documents said to have been released on Friday detailed the ruling, which effectively countered any attempts to displace Baruwa from his role as the NURTW president. The judgment read: “This is an appeal ag

 Lagos police reject N174m bribe offer from notorious internet fraudster


Operatives of the Zone 2 Police Command, Onikan, Lagos, have refused a bribe of ₦174 million offered by a 28-year-old suspected internet fraudster, Patrick Akpoguma.

The suspect is accused of engaging in various forms of cyber fraud, including romance scams, identity theft, hacking, cryptocurrency fraud, ritualism, and cultism.


Akpoguma, speaking with journalists at Zone 2 Command, confessed to the crimes, explaining that his attempt to clear his name led him to offer bribes to the police. He proposed a payment of $100,000 USD (approximately ₦174 million) to secure his release.


Assistant Inspector General (AIG) Adegoke Fayoade revealed that the investigation began on 7 November 2024 following reports from residents of Chevron Drive, Lekki, where the suspect resides.

According to AIG Fayoade:”Patrick Akpoguma admitted to being involved in what is known as romance scams and other cryptocurrency-related scams. He meets various people online and presents himself as a notable and famous Caucasian American, such as Colonel Matt Herbert, a serving U.S. Army officer currently on a peacekeeping mission in Iran. He also impersonates Adam Taggart, a renowned cryptocurrency and stock brokerage expert in the United States.

“He convinces his unsuspecting victims that he is a top executive working on several projects that require funding, which leads him to request loans. Typically, he receives these loans via his Bitcoin Trust Wallet or through blockchain transactions. So far, he has defrauded over seven victims using this method.

“To perfect these fraudulent activities, he created a fake Instagram account under the name ‘Adam Taggart.’ This account allowed him to purchase a silicone face and hand mask from maskmakers.com, which was delivered to his residence on Chevron Drive, Lekki. He paid $11,200 USD for the manufacturing of this mask, which he used to impersonate Adam Taggart on Facebook and Instagram.”

Bribe Offer and Arrest

�AIG Fayoade further disclosed that during the investigation, Akpoguma offered $100,000 USD as a bribe to the police.

“Once I was informed about this, I instructed my detectives from the Raider team, led by CSP Ngozi Braid, to play along. On 12 November 2024, he offered the money, which was accepted, registered as evidence, and the investigation continued.


“So far, the investigation has been concluded, and the suspect will be arraigned accordingly,” he added.


Suspect’s Confession�Akpoguma, a graduate of Mechanical Engineering, revealed his motivation for engaging in fraud.

“I felt too intelligent to work for a salary, which is why I turned to fraud three years ago. I’ve made over $500,000 USD since then. I own a house in Lagos, another in Edo State, and a GLE Benz worth ₦100 million.

“Once I defraud people and feel I’ve taken enough from them, I simply walk away. I don’t leave them penniless.”

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the unions
