 South Korean police seek arrest warrant for Hybe chairman Bang Si-Hyuk over alleged $100 million investor fraud scheme    South Korean police are seeking an arrest warrant for Bang Si-Hyuk, the billionaire music executive behind K-pop powerhouse Hybe and BTS, as part of an expanding investigation into allegations that he improperly benefited from an investor scheme involving more than $100 million. Authorities said they have asked prosecutors to pursue a court warrant for Bang’s arrest as they continue probing claims that he misled investors in 2019. Investigators allege he told investors that Hybe had no plans for an initial public offering, leading them to sell shares to a private equity fund. The company later went public, and police suspect a separate arrangement may have resulted in Bang receiving a substantial payout tied to post-IPO stock profits. Bang’s legal team has not directly addressed the specific allegations but said he has cooperated with investigators an...

 LAGOS PENSION COMMISSION PAYS N1.52B TO 798 RETIREES


 

•Pensioners praise govt for prompt payment, welfare of senior citizens


In line with its commitment to the welfare of senior citizens and retirees with dedicated service to the Lagos State Government, the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration on Monday disbursed a total of N1.52 billion to another set of 798 retirees of the Lagos State Public Service.


 

The retirement bond certificates worth a total of ₦1,520,223,053.19 were presented at the 110th Batch Retirement Bond Certificate Presentation Ceremony at Alausa, Ikeja, on Monday. The event was attended by hundreds of retirees who were physically present to collect the bond certificates.


 


Speaking during the ceremony, the Director-General of the Lagos State Pension Commission (LASPEC), Mr. Babalola Obilana, said the gesture underscores Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s commitment to ensuring retirees receive their entitlements without delay. He said Lagos operates a pay-as-you-go pension system, enabling prompt settlement once documentation is completed.


 


He said: “Today’s ceremony is a testament to the commitment of the Lagos State Government towards the well-being and financial security of its workforce. It signifies the fulfilment of obligations under the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS), ensuring that our dear retirees receive the retirement benefits they have worked hard for throughout their careers.


 


“The Lagos State Government has made significant strides in pension administration over the years despite various challenges. Today, we can proudly say that the CPS in Lagos State is one of the most efficient and well-managed pension systems in the country. The Lagos State Pension Commission (LASPEC) has consistently worked with various stakeholders: the Pension Fund Administrators, Annuity Service Providers, Lagos State Ministries, Departments, Agencies and other relevant bodies to ensure the smooth processing of pension entitlements for all retirees.


 


“I want to thank Mr Governor, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, for his constant support in ensuring the prompt payment of pension obligations. Today, Mr Governor will be presenting another set of 798 retirees with their retirement bond certificates worth a total of ₦1,520,223,053.19, being their past service benefits prior to the commencement of the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) in 2007.”


 


Obilana said LASPEC has remained steadfast in ensuring that pensions are paid on time, noting that the 110th Batch will join a long list of retirees who have received their benefits promptly as part of our commitment to uphold the promise of financial security to public servants.


 


He also advised retirees at the event to plan wisely on how to spend their retirement funds.


 


Speaking on behalf of the retirees after receiving their bond certificates, Mrs Funto Olaitan Aina and Mr Olayinka Ramoni Alaka, expressed gratitude to the government, describing the bond as timely and life-changing.


 


They also commended the Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration for keeping faith with retirees and urged the Lagos State Government to sustain and improve the system for future pensioners.


 


“I am extremely happy. We are receiving our bond. What we have been looking out for is now a reality. We thank the Lagos State Government for making it a reality. When I collect the money, I am going to sit back and think well about what I want to do with it before going out to do whatever. The payment was prompt because I retired last year, and I am getting my bond certificate a year after. So, I want to implore them to continue to do the best,” said Aina, who retired from the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources.


 


Also speaking, Olayinka Ramoni Alaka, who retired last year from Lagos State Public Service, said: “I feel happy receiving my pension today. I am a Town Planner and I am still doing my work. I will add the money to my business and continue with my business. The Lagos State Government has been doing very well. From what I have seen from other states, they have not been paying their pensioners, but Lagos State pays as and when due, and it has been a seamless process.”
