 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.

FCT POLLS HOLIDAY STALLS MALAMI, SON’S RE-ARRAIGNMENT FOR TERRORISM, ILLEGAL ARMS POSSESSION. (PHOTO).


 FCT polls holiday stalls Malami, son’s re-arraignment for terrorism, illegal arms possession


The work free day declared by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, over Saturday’s area council elections has scuttled the bid by the Department of State Services, DSS, to re-arraign a former Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, Abubakar Malami and his son, Abdulaziz, on a five-count charge bordering on terrorism and illegal firearms possession.


The arraignment, slated for the Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday, February 20, was abruptly put off when it became clear that workers including those of the court would not be at work.


Operatives of the DSS had taken over security at the court as early as 7: 00 am ahead of the arraignment.


However, by 9:00 am when Malami and his son were to be brought before Justice Peter Lifu, information filtered round that the workers would not be on duty.


The development prompted the DSS to shelve bringing the two defendants to the court.


It will be recalled that Malami, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, and his son were earlier arraigned before a vacation judge on the same charge.


The vacation judge eventually returned the case file to the Chief Judge, Hon Justice John Tsoho for re-assignment to a regular judge.


Although the matter was re-assigned to Justice Obiora Egwuatu for fresh arraignment, the judge declined to proceed with the matter for personal reasons.


Meanwhile, sources confirmed that the former AGF and his son would now be arraigned on Monday, February 23, 2026
