 AAC SEEK FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO ON SOWORE IN EKITI The African Action Congress, AAC, has called for further investigation into the reported attack on Omoyele Sowore and other party members in Ekiti State, despite the arrest of eleven suspects. In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Rex Elanu, the AAC says new video footage has emerged which it believes could help identify more persons involved in the incident. The party has expressed concern over the handling of CCTV recordings from the restaurant where the incident occurred, and alleges that some stolen phones were traced to the governor's lodge in Ekiti State. It is seeking an independent investigation into these claims, the handling of recovered items and the circumstances surrounding the incident. The AAC has also called for the arrest and prosecution of any other persons found to have been involved, and demanded an investigation into the conduct of any security officers who may have acted unprofessionally.

 Nigerian Man Pleads Guilty to $400,000 Romance Scam


On August 29, 2025, Acting U.S. Attorney Michael M. Simpson announced that 40-year-old Nigerian national Daniel Chima Inweregbu pleaded guilty to orchestrating a sophisticated romance scam that defrauded multiple American citizens of over $400,000. 


The guilty plea was entered on August 21, 2025, before U.S. District Judge Nanette Jolivette Brown, addressing charges of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud, and using a false identity, as well as conspiracy to commit money laundering.Court documents reveal that Inweregbu and his accomplices executed a romance scam from July 1, 2017, to December 16, 2018, targeting American women. 


Using the alias “Larry Pham,” they created fake profiles on social media and dating platforms to lure middle-aged women seeking companionship. 


The group built emotional connections with victims through online messaging and email, posing as a middle-aged man to gain their trust.Once trust was established, Inweregbu and his co-conspirators manipulated victims into sending money to domestic bank accounts under false pretenses. 


The scam resulted in losses exceeding $405,000. To conceal the illicit funds, the group laundered the money through intermediaries, obscuring its source and ownership.


Inweregbu faces up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and fines of $250,000 for the fraud-related charges and $500,000 for money laundering. 


He is also required to pay a $100 special assessment fee per count. Sentencing is scheduled for December 4, 2025, before Judge Brown.Acting U.S. Attorney Simpson commended the Federal Bureau of Investigation for their investigative efforts, with support from the U.S. Department of Justice Office of International Affairs and the U.S. Department of State. 


Assistant U.S. Attorney Jordan Ginsberg, Chief of the Public Integrity Unit, is leading the prosecution.
