 Nigerian makes US Most Wanted List over $1m fraud A Nigerian, Onoriode Ezewu, has been named on the United States Department of Labour’s first-ever Most Wanted List over allegations of money laundering involving fraudulent unemployment benefit claims worth more than $1m. The department’s Office of Inspector General unveiled the list on its website on Wednesday, naming 16 fugitives wanted in cases involving alleged fraud, identity theft, money laundering, labour trafficking and other offences. According to the agency, the cases collectively involve more than $55m allegedly stolen from American taxpayers. Ezewu’s profile on the department’s website identifies him as wanted for concealment money laundering and states that he is believed to be residing in Nigeria. “In January 2021, Ezewu was charged with 15 counts of concealment money laundering tied to fraudulent UI and Pandemic Unemployment Assistance claims filed using stolen identities, in a scheme exceeding $1 million that also t...

EX-COLLEGE FOOTBALL STAR BLAISE TAYLOR ALLEGEDLY PRESSURED GIRLFRIEND TO GET ABORTION BEFORE COCAINE POISONING. (PHOTO).


 Ex-college football star Blaise Taylor allegedly pressured girlfriend to get abortion before cocaine poisoning


Former Arkansas State football player Blaise Taylor is on trial for double murder after prosecutors alleged he poisoned his pregnant girlfriend, Jade Benning, with a lethal dose of cocaine in February 2023. 


Benning, who was five months pregnant, had previously texted friends about Taylor pressuring her to have an abortion and his reluctance to become a father. 


Prosecutors say Taylor gave her the drug in a drink at her Nashville apartment, then misled 911 operators by claiming she was suffering an allergic reaction.


Benning was found unresponsive by EMTs and later died on March 6, her 25th birthday. Her unborn daughter, Ivy, died days earlier in the hospital. 


A medical examiner testified that Benning’s blood contained extraordinarily high levels of cocaine far beyond anything she had seen in hundreds of prior cases and suggested the drug was administered without her knowledge. 


Cocaine toxicity was determined to be the cause of Benning’s death, while the baby’s death was linked to placental abruption, a known risk of cocaine use during pregnancy.


Taylor, who has pleaded not guilty, faces life in prison without parole if convicted. Prosecutors argue his unwillingness to embrace fatherhood motivated the crime, while his defense claims he had tried to reconcile with Benning before her death. 


The case has drawn attention not only for its tragic circumstances but also for the chilling evidence presented in court, including Benning’s texts and the medical examiner’s testimony about the rare and extreme level of cocaine in her system.
