Police Arraign Woman For Refusing To Marry Man After Collecting Wig, Phone...

 

The police in Lagos state arraigned a 25-year-old tailor identified as Victoria Effiong, before a Lagos State Magistrates’ Court in Iba last Friday, October 4, for allegedly refusing to marry a suitor after collecting N2.8m among other things, from him.



Effiong is facing three counts bordering on breach of peace, cheating and obtaining by false pretence.



Punch reports that the police prosecutor, Inspector Chinedu Njoku, told the court that the incident occurred on September 25, 2024, at 10 a.m. at Ajanaku Street, Isashi.



‘’Effiong unlawfully cheated the complainant, Dominic Asuquo, by obtaining the sum of N2,866,000 under the pretext of agreeing to marry him, but she failed to follow through.”



The prosecutor further told the court that while the defendant was dating Asuquo, she obtained an iPhone worth N240,000, different clothes, a wristwatch, shoes and bags valued at N350,000.



He also said that the complainant gave the defendant a cash sum of N810,000, and daily feeding money for seven months worth N868,000.



The situation escalated when Asuquo discovered that Effiong was planning to marry another man, despite having introduced him to her parents, who were aware of their relationship.



“Effiong also withdrew N300,000 from Asuquo’s ATM account for shopping,” Njoku added



The defendant who was arraigned before Magistrate Mrs O. M. Ogun, pleaded not guilty to the charges against her.



In her defence, Effiong denied being in any relationship with Asuquo and claimed that he knew she was seeing someone else. She admitted to receiving the iPhone, a smaller phone worth N20,000, money, and other items but insisted that she had told Asuquo to stop sending her money because she was uncomfortable with it.



According to the prosecutor, the offences committed are punishable under Sections 168, (1d), 322, and 314 (2) of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State 2015.



However, Magistrate Ogun granted her a bail of N200,000 with two sureties in like sum.



“One of the sureties must be a blood relative, show proof of tax payment to the Lagos State Government, and have their address verified,” the magistrate ruled.



The case was adjourned until November 28, 2024, for mention.

Dangote: In Celebration Of Egotism, Selective Amnesia, And Revisionism - Politics

Image
  John Dryden, a 17th Century English poet and literary critic, while painting a picture of the unscrupulous nature the politicians of his days stated that “Politicians neither love nor hate”. This description which highlights the emotionless, soulless, treacherous, and decidedly selfish nature of politicians, even till date, can be applied to businessmen. The brazen manner in which they pursue profit at the expense of everything wholesome and noble is comparable only to the shameless way politicians abandon principles in pursuit of power. My rumination on Dryden’s statement in relation to businessmen was prompted by the report of multi-billionaire businessman, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, saying that he did not enjoy any incentive from government while building his $20 billion refinery. When the report first popped up on my phone, my first reaction was that he must have been misquoted. When the news began to appear on many other platforms, I decided to read various versions of it to unde...
