The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has recovered jewelry worth millions of naira from the house of one Akka Babba Danagundi, brother-in-law to a former National Security Adviser to the late President Umar Musa Yar'aduwa, Major General Abdullahi Sarki Mukhtar.

The jewelry was found in a fireproof safe hidden in a house belonging to one Akka Babba Danagundi at No. 375, Gwangwazo quarters of Kano Municipal, Kano State.

About 50 documents in respect of landed properties bearing the name of the former NSA and his wife, Binta Sarki Mukhtar were also discovered.

The discovery was sequel to an intelligence report alleging that huge sums of money including foreign currencies were hidden in the premises.

During the operation, Aiko Fireproof safe and seven suspects including the house owner, Danagundi were arrested and brought to EFCC's Kano Zonal Office where their statements was taken.

On arriving at the commission's Kano Zonal Office, the safe was opened and several pieces of jewelry, such as necklaces and wristwatches, including 50 Certificates of Occupancy for properties located in Kano, Kaduna and Abuja, were found.

Among the jewelry recovered were 55 wristwatches, including three gold watches. Also 37 pieces of gold weighing 1,907.9g and another 15 pieces of fashion jewelry were found.

All the suspects arrested during the operation were released on administrative bail with the exception of Danagundi, who is still in custody assisting the investigation.

Veno International Magazine claimed that the man pictured, who has a striking resemblance with the image of Christian saviour, Jesus was trekking along Sogunle area in Lagos State, on 28th February.

It was alleged that when people spotted him and started bringing their phone to take photos, he suddenly disappeared.

So I took my time to analyse the photo and wawu! This is Lagos Jesus mehn!

First, no nail imprint on his feet

Second, the flip flops on his feet are obviously branded, when did Jesus take a break to go and buy slippers?!

Third, he's obviously donning beach shorts… Urban style… Hehe.

And again, I'm pretty sure after over 2000 years, Jesus can have a clean shave and not be a member of the beard gang…

So the fact that they said he "disappeared" is nothing but faux to me, hmph!

Zimbabwe's High Court has outlawed corporal punishment for children both at school and in the home.

The ruling comes after a parent complained that her child in grade one, a class for six-year-olds, had deep bruises after a beating by a teacher.

Linah Pfungwa said her daughter had been punished for failing to have her reading book signed by guardians as proof she had done her homework.

The constitutional court will have to confirm the judgement.

The BBC's Shingai Nyoka in the capital, Harare, says if upheld, it would transform the way parents have disciplined their children for centuries in the southern African country.

Some parents are criticising the ruling, while rights groups says it is long overdue, she says.

Ms Pfungwa, who filed her application with support from the Justice for Children's Trust, said her child was severely assaulted with a rubber pipe.

"My child suffered major bruises and I took photographs and pictures… She had deep bruises on her back and she could hardly sleep properly," the state-run Chronicle newspaper quotes her as saying.

"I posted the pictures of my daughter on our WhatsApp group for other parents to observe and it turned out that other children had also been assaulted."

In her application, Ms Pfungwa said that children should not be subjected to any form of violence and such corporal punishment breached their rights under Zimbabwe's Constitution.

She argued that other forms of discipline should be used for children.

"If my child misbehaves, I ground her by denying her access to television as well as denying her pocket money or other goodies like sweets and presents," she said.

"If she does well, I reward her by presents or extra hours of watching television.

"My child is well-behaved and well-brought up simply as a result of the dialogue that I use as a means of discipline."

Justice David Mangota agreed that corporal punishment for children was unconstitutional and said that parents and teachers should not lay their hands on children even if they misbehave.

Acting President Prof Yemi Osinbajo has been conferred a Chieftaincy title of "Obong Emem Ibom" by Akwa Ibom State Traditional Rulers during his visit to the state earlier today.

The duo were the first two evicted housemates from the big brother house weeks ago – housemate, Bisola has said if anyone was to be brought back to the house, she'd wish for Soma to be one of them.

A member of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Ayo Yusuf, on Thursday declared that if President Muhammadu Buhari is sick then Nigeria as a whole is also sick.

Yusuf representing the Ijumu/Kabba-Bunu Federal Constituency of Kogi State made the declaration during a prayer session for the quick recovery of the President.

The Prayer session which lasted for about two hours was attended by seven members of the House and was presided over by Yusuf.

Speaking, Yusuf said "when the president is sick, Nigeria is sick. Praying for the leaders is Biblical in His commandment."

Buhari, who is yet to return from his trip, recently sent a letter to the National Assembly informing of his decision to extend his stay to enable him receive medical results.

Last week Tuesday, the President through his media aide, Femi Adesina, revealed that series of medical check-ups he carried out in the cause of his vacation had necessitated his prolonged stay in London.

Not many of us paid attention but after taking a second look at the music video for rapper, Falz's "Ello Bae", we can see that Big Brother Naija Housemate, Bisola, was the "bae" in the video.

This shows that the BBN housemate has really come a long way in her career in showbiz – she's sure to become a superstar, (she's already a star) by the time she leaves the BB house.

Spain's Prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, appointed Edelmira Barreira as the country's sex tsar to get Spaniards to produce more babies. The country is faced with a population crisis, with fewer births than deaths recorded for the first time last year.

Experts say long working hours and a culture of eating late at night and going to bed after midnight are partly to blame for the nation's sex famine. Since 2008 the number of births in Spain has plunged by 18%.

And the number of childless couples has nearly tripled from 1.5million in 1977 to 4.4million in 2015.

Most Spanish women say they would like two or more children but in 2015 those aged 18 to 49 had an average of 1.3 children – well below the EU figure of 1.58.

Spain's education ministry said the declining birth-rate "aggravates other economic imbalances and generates important 'impacts' in the Welfare State.

We all had our hopes up when the news broke last year that the actress was at the brink of tying the knots finally! But our hopes crumbled when we later discovered that the proposed wedding was cancelled due to misunderstanding from the couple.

Well, recently, a source has revealed that the mother of one secretly traveled to an undisclosed island few weeks ago where she reportedly tied the knot.

The actress has not confirmed nor disclosed the news to anyone but her disappearance and the engagement ring she showed off on her IG page has raised eyebrows.

The identity of the man too is yet to be known, it's not new that she's not the type to put on a public face when it comes to her private life, most especially since her disappointment with the guy she almost got married to last year.

The actress has planned to walk down the aisle in Milan Italy last year 2016, with her then boo, Ugochukwu Udezue but it was called off by him because she wanted their wedding to be secret which he wasn't in support of.

So if this is real, we can only but wish the best for her and if not, yeah well… we wish her godspeed either ways.

As bizarre as it sounds, a "Baby Bin" has been created for parents (Desperate mothers) who wants to dump their unwanted newborns. And the church behind it claims it has saved hundreds of lives as they say it gives unwanted babies a fresh shot at life after they are abandoned.

The Berea Baptist Church in Johannesburg installed the hatch so newborns could be left anonymously by parents unable or unwilling to care for them, they call it "The Door Of Hope".

Desperate parents can leave their young babies in the hatch, where they will be picked up and cared for by staff at the orphanage

Desperate mothers can leave their child in the hatch, nicknamed the Door of Hope. Staff at the centre are alerted by alarm when a baby is left in the hatch.

When it was installed in 1999, up to 50 babies were being dumped on the streets and left to die by their parents every month.

Among the horrific stories highlighted by the centre include babies being flushed down toilets, left at rubbish dumps and thrown from buildings.

But the Door of Hope says it has saved the lives more than 1,500 lives through its kind-hearted charity work since.

The Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) on Thursday disclosed that the social media estimated that three million Nigerians had lost N18 billion in the Phonzi scheme, popularly called Mavrodi Mundial Movement (MMM).

The Managing Director of the Corporation, Alhaji Umaru Ibrahim disclosed this while speaking at the NDIC day at the ongoing 38th Kaduna International Trade Fair organized by the Kaduna Chambers of Commerce, Mines and Agriculture. (KADCCIMA).

Represented by the deputy director Communication and public Affairs Alh Hadi Birchi Suleiman, the managing director lamented that despite repeated warnings by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the corporation, Nigerians still patronise MMM.

The MD emphasised that frequent usage of virtual currencies, such as Bitcoin, Ripples, Monero, Litecoin, Dogecoin and Onecoin as currencies for medium of exchange are Internet-based transactions and are not authorised by the CBN due to the risks involved in their operations.

He cautioned that any person or groups of persons who invest their money in the Phonzi scheme does so at their own risk.

"The Phonzi scheme is the phenomenon of illegal fund managers, popularly called "Wonder Banks" which have continued to defraud unsuspecting members of the public of their hard earned money. This phenomenon has been a source for concern because despite our repeated warnings over the years, some members of the public have continued to fall victims of their fraudulent practices.

"We would like to reiterate the fact fact that these fund managers are illegal as they are neither licences by the CBN to take deposits from members of the public not are those who patronise them covered by the NDIC deposit insurance scheme.

" I want to also draw the attention of some cooperative society which often go beyond their primary mandate by accepting contributions from members as cooperative societies are only recognised to mobilise savings from their members".

While advising the general public on the dangers of keeping large sums of money at home or in market shops, he said there are 978 licences microfinance Banks nationwide out if which seven are spread across Kaduna state and should be patronize for safe keeping of their monies.

He noted that with the advent of the cashless policy and the subsequent licensing of mobile money operators (MMOs) by the CBN, the corporation has extended deposit insurance cover to the subscribers of MMOs to the maximum limit of N500, 000 per subscriber per bank through it's Pass-Through Deposit Insurance Framework.

"Avoid mouth watering interest rate being used to lure you into becoming a victim thereby loosing. Your hard earn monies, don't be deceived".

Ghanaian comedienne and actress, Afia Schwarzenegger took to her Instagram page to pass a message to her fans for being unfair, using actress, Omotola Jalade and husband's loved up picture as reference point.

A Nigerian Twitter user was quite upset when she took to her page to rant after her girlfriend who is getting married in May did the unthinkable to her.

According to Mobyy, her girl "conned" her into buying her wedding Aso-ebi by making her believe she was invited to both her traditional and white wedding ceremonies.

However, Mobyy later found out it was just the traditional wedding and she didn't think it was worth attending anymore – So she asked her girlfriend for a refund of the Aso-ebi money only to be dealt with a shocker, girlfriend refused refunding her and Mobyy is pissed she was used to fund a wedding.

Eniola Badmus is in mourning.

Today, the Nollywood actress took to her Instagram to share a collage of her photos with her octogenarian dad with a caption announcing his death.

"RIP dad," the actress, and this opened a floodgate of condolences from fans on her social media.

The actress has always had a close relationship with her father. In her September interview with Razzle Dazzle, Badmus revealed she is the 13th child of her father who has 21 living children.

"My growing up was beautiful. I was born into the family of Badmus Ogunsina," the comic actress said, adding, "I was properly trained and well cultured like any other girl. We were taught to love ourselves and never discriminate against anyone. I come from a large family of 21 children and I am the 13th.

She continued, "We all eat together as one family; some of us go on vacation together during summer and we all wine and dine together."

Last October, when he turned 85, she celebrated him with the most heartwarming photos and words.

"I am what I am today only because of the presence of a special someone in my life. On your Birthday today, I fail to find enough words to express my gratitude and wishes for you. Let's raise a toast and celebrate your life as a kind, humble and generous father that you've been. Wishing you a very Happy 85th Birthday dad!" she said.

He has passed on, and like fans did when Olamide's father and Bovi's mother passed on, they are showering Eniola Badmus and her family with comforting words at such a sad time.
