Only lazy Nigerians depend on markets for food — Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi The Deputy Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi, has come under criticism after saying Nigerians who rely on markets for food are “lazy”, as he urged citizens to embrace farming to tackle rising food prices. Nwaebonyi, who represents Ebonyi North Senatorial District, made the statement during an interview on The Mic On Podcast hosted by Seun Okinbaloye which was published on August 1 with clips going viral on Friday, while defending the economic policies of President Bola Tinubu’s administration. Responding to concerns over food inflation and the rising cost of living, the senator said the government alone could not be held responsible for the prices of commodities in the market, arguing that citizens also had a role to play. “Do you expect Tinubu to moderate the prices of garri in the market?

 Hacker steals over $3,000 from Cory Booker's reelection campaign account

A hacker stole more than $3,000 from Sen. Cory Booker’s reelection campaign committee in an unauthorized transaction, according to campaign disclosures filed with federal regulators.

The incident involved a $3,092 charge made to an American Express account on Dec. 17 by an unknown individual, the campaign reported. The committee said it disputed the charge with its bank and opened a new account as a precaution to prevent further fraudulent activity, though the stolen funds have not yet been recovered.

In a statement, the campaign’s communications director said officials noticed suspicious banking activity last year and quickly alerted their financial institution. The campaign also said it strengthened its security measures and confirmed that no donor data was accessed and no internal systems were breached.

Federal investigators did not publicly comment on the matter.

Despite the loss, the missing funds represent a small fraction of the campaign’s finances. Booker’s reelection effort reported more than $22 million in available cash as of the end of March, according to the most recent filings.

The incident is part of a broader pattern of financial security issues affecting political committees across the country. In recent months, multiple campaigns, political action committees, and advocacy organizations have reported unauthorized withdrawals or internal financial theft.

Some cases have involved external hacking, while others stemmed from insiders with financial access. Several individuals connected to political organizations have faced allegations or convictions tied to embezzlement schemes involving campaign or PAC funds.

Past incidents have affected committees across party lines and included high-profile political groups and elected officials. Law enforcement agencies and federal regulators have continued to investigate cases involving fraudulent withdrawals and misuse of campaign finances.
