"SITUATIONAL VICTIM;DAMMY KRANE DID NOT PAY HIS JET FEES HIMSELF",AUNT CLAIMS

By
Dammy Krane

Aunt to the arrested Nigerian musical act Dammy Krane has said that the artiste did not pay his flight fees himself.

The singer was nabbed for using a stolen credit card to board a private jet.

The crime is said to be listed as "Grand Theft 3rd Degree/Armed/Conspiracy/Credit Card Forgery/Intent to Defraud."

According to the US-based aunt, who pleaded anonymity, in a chat with Sunday Scoop, Krane was a situational victim. She spoke with Sunday scoop.

She said though, the 'Amin' singer doesn't stay with her in the US, he visited her recently and she got wind of his arrest on the internet just like everyone.

"We don't stay in the same state over here but Dammy came to visit me just last week. I got the news of his detention on the Internet just like everybody else.

"After making some calls, I was able to confirm that he was indeed arrested. He has been in the US for some time now and he has regularly been booked for shows all across America.

"The guy he was arrested with had actually booked him for a show this weekend in Miami. And he (Chukwuebuka) was the one that paid for the jet and made hotel reservations with the stolen card details."

She gave further insights that show promoters usually took full responsibilities of flight bookings and so 'Dammy' cannot be blamed in this situation.

"A lawyer has already been contacted but unfortunately, Dammy would have to stay in jail till Monday when they would be able to go to court to perfect bail conditions," she aadded.

In an alleged ecstasy to impress their paymaster, a team of police operatives, on Sunday, shot dead one Elvis Ovie and injured another, Onome Eko, during a party in Warri, Delta State. Operatives, three of whom are now in police detention, were said to have been in a shooting spree to impress an alleged internet fraudster popularly called 'yahoo yahoo boys' for whom they were providing security. It was gathered that the gun-wielding cops were led by one Insp. Imana Samuel, a Sergeant and a corporal from the Warri Area Command. The vehicle reportedly used to hurriedly convey late Ovie and injured Eko to a hospital, it was gathered, also brushed off another unidentified victim who is now on admission in an undisclosed location.

By

Prof. Itse Sagay The Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Anti-corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay has strongly criticized the insistent refusal of the National Assembly to approve Ibrahim Magu as the Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. Sagay, in an interview with Channels TV early this morning, said the Senate was only discharging its duties with self-love and tyranny at the expense of the country. He noted the case of rejecting appointment of Magu as the EFCC Boss is a peculiar case. "The Senate is the bad party in this country. The Executice can proceed with the confirmation of Ibrahim Magu as the Chairman of the EFCC as stipulated by the law. if the Senate is not careful, Magu will remain the EFCC boss without the consent of the legislature. The Acting President is right for saying that", the Professor of Law stated.

The whistle blowing policy of the Federal Government appears to be paying off as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Wednesday announced that it uncovered foreign currencies and Naira notes to the tune of $43.4 million, £27,800 and N23.2 million at a four-bedroom apartment in Ikoyi, Lagos. The total amount of money recovered at the current Central Bank exchange rate is over N13 billion.

By

North Korea is treating President Donald Trump's latest salvo in the United nations' nuclear spat as a "declaration of war," and is therefore claiming the right to shoot down American bombers in international airspace, North Korea's foreign minister said Monday. Ri Yong Ho, speaking in New York City where he was attending the United Nations General Assembly, urged other nations in the world body to remember that the United States declared war on North Korea — the U.S. has not done so — and touted nations' right to self-defense under the U.N. charter. "Since the U.S. declared war on our country we will have every right to make counter measures, including the right to shoot down the United States strategic bombers even when they are not yet inside the airspace border of our country," Ri said. President Donald Trump had tweeted that North Korea "won't be around much longer" if a speech Ri made at the United Nations mirrors the sentiments o...

By

Washington (CNN)The White House can't get its story straight on why President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey. Trump told NBC News on Thursday that he was going to fire Comey with or without Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's memo criticizing the director. That statement contradicts at least 10 times Trump's top aides and advisers, including Vice President Mike Pence, tried to explain the how and the why the President decided to sack Comey. Tuesday's unceremonious move came amid the FBI's probe into Russia's role in the 2016 election and any connections the Trump campaign had to the hackers. "I was going to fire regardless of recommendation," Trump told NBC. He added: "(Rosenstein) made a recommendation ... He made a recommendation, but regardless of recommendation, I was going to fire Comey." Trump: I planned to fire Comey 02:13 That was not the story Pence told reporters on Capitol Hill Wednesday.
