The lagos government to demolish the popular Landmark Beach Resort to give way for the coastal highway construction of Lagos-Calabar road project.
This was contained in a letter to the business mogul Paul Onwuanibe dated March 19, 2024, and signed by the Deputy Director (Development Matters Department) Tpl Shomolu O., on behalf of the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development.
According to the letter, the state government noted that the sections of the property billed for demolition such as the Beach Resort, Kids and Bay Arena, Members Area, Lagos Beach Club fall within the Right of Way of the proposed road project by 50 meters.
Onwuanibe, receiving seven day’s notice of removal of property felt it was an April fool that had come early.
The beach resort which is valued at over $200 million, according to Onwuanibe, the Landmark site is home to over 80 businesses and provides more than 4,000 direct jobs.
It also generates over 2 billion naira ($1.5 million) in annual tax revenue.
Recall that the Lagos state government had written the company in two different national newspaper on the demolition .
“Following the publications of Friday 15th and Saturday 16th March, 2024, in the two national newspapers, The Nation and The PUNCH respectively, for the constriction of 103km stretch of the 700km Lagos-Calabar coastal highway by the Federal Ministry of Works, in collaboration with Lagos State Government, I am to inform you that your property falls within the Right of Way Alignment of the project by 50 meters.
“Consequently, the affected portion shall be removed in overriding public interest, to pave way for the road construction project from seven (7) days of serving this notice.
“In view of the above, I am to request you to forward all documents supporting your ownership of the property to the Permanent Secretary, Lands Bureau, Block 13 and 14, The Secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja.’’

AS the controversy over the recent embarrassing escape from custody of an executive of the cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, Nadeem Anjarwalla through the Nnamdi Azikwe International airport rages on, key players across the country’s aviation sector have described the development as confirmation of the lack of synergy amongst security agents at the airports.
Nadeem Anjarwalla, the regional manager for Binance in Africa, was reported to have fled Nigeria using a smuggled passport through the Abuja airport to escape trial and prosecution.
Many stakeholders who reacted to the news condemned the lapses in Nigeria’s security system and intelligence which they argued made it seamless for the Binance official from perfecting his escape.
A key player who spoke under anonymity queried how a passenger could go through many uniformed personnel at the airport to not only process his papers but comfortably travel through the airport unnoticed.
Commenting on the controversy, the Chief Executive Officer at Selective Security International Ltd, Mr Ayo Obilana described the escape of the Binance executive as unacceptable.
According to Obilana: “I rate the efficiency of the securitymen in charge of airport immigration and state security as unacceptably poor on controversial escape of Mr Anjarwala if he passed through them.
“It’s not about porosity this time but about human error and failure which definitely points in one direction of either systemic failure or compromise. I believe his name should have been put on watchlist in the data base of the two security agencies. There are other possibilities, however, the matter should be thoroughly investigated and thereafter, the tasking authorities should take appropriate steps for redress or mitigation. I hope the airport has a functional CCTV system and if it has, the fugitive’s movements through the airport can be easily tracked including those who aided his escape.”
Equally, the Managing Director of another security agency, Centurion Security Services and a onetime military commandant of the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Group Captain John Ojikutu, retired, likened the escape of the Binance official to what happened with the escape of the now known popular underwear bomber, Farouk Abdulmutalab through the Lagos airport in 2009.
His words “Security begins with intelligence which is more than 60% of the Airport Security Defence Layers. If they get intelligence early and it is appropriately shared, what we saw happened last week would not have happened. What happened last week with the escaped man is not different from what happened with the Abdulmutalab escape in December 25, 2009 even when the father warned the National Intelligence Agent and the US Embassy about the irregular behaviour of his son.
While arguing that the airline that boarded the Binance official can only be blamed if it was informed earlier that the man was on the watch list or no-fly list.
“The airport government security agencies on the Aviation Security Defence Layers too appeared not to have any information about the man. What I can tell you from the experience of the Abdulmutalab case and his escape through the Avsec Defence Layers is the disconnect between the government security agencies in their line of duties. Starting with the intelligent agency to the border security agencies which include the immigration, DSS, Avsec/Airlines through the NCAA, etc.”
Other stakeholders who spoke on the controversy further took a swipe at the crop of security personnel manning the different airports who they accused of just sitting at their duty posts idly.
“Our airports are the only airports where security personnel sit instead of on their feet moving around. The Binance official can still come back to Nigeria and make another return same way as he escaped without being detected. The level of corruption in the airport security system particularly with immigration and State security protocols is unimaginable.
The key players also faulted the type of multiple security checks at the international airports which they said does not exist at any known airport in the world. “What obtains at our international airports is indeed shameful and some of us have tirelessly and repeatedly pointed same out to the tasking authority for corrective action but to no avail.”
Popular cross-dresser, Idris Olanrewaju Okuneye popularly known as Bobrisky, has been convicted by Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court, Lagos, after he pleaded guilty to abuse of the naira.
The judge has reserved judgement on Bobrisky’s sentencing till April 9, ordering his remand in EFCC’s custody.
Before his conviction, Bobrisky pleaded with the court that he was not aware of the law on abusing the Naira.
The judge then told him that ignorance of the law was not an excuse to which Bobrisky replied,”I know my lord.”
He further said to the judge,”My lord I wish that you can give me a second chance to use my platform to inform and educate my followers about spraying money.
“I’m a social media influencer with over five million followers. I would do a video on my page and I will educate people about spraying money.
“I will not repeat it again my lord, I regret my actions my lord”.
With the conviction, Bobrisky could either serve six months in prison, pay a fine of N50,000 or do both.
Section 21 (1) of the CBN Act 2007 states that “a person who tampers with a coin or note issued by the Bank is guilty of an offence and shall on conviction be liable for imprisonment for a term not less that six months or to a fine not less that N50,000 or to both such fine and imprisonment.”
When the charge was read, Bobrisky pleaded guilty to the first four counts bordering on Naira abuse.
Before the charge was read however, the EFCC’s counsel, Suleiman Suleiman, asked the court to strike out counts five and six bordering on money laundering allegations.
Justice Abimbola Awogboro subsequently struck out counts five and six.
This paved the way for the arraignment of Bobrisky on only counts one to four which is on the abuse of the naira.
When the counts were read, Bobrisky was asked if he understood the charge that was read to him, he replied, “yes, I am guilty”.
Bobrisky was brought into the court in a white bus at 9.12 a.m. on Friday morning by officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
He was arrested on Wednesday by the EFCC on account of naira abuse and money laundering.

Veteran Nigerian comedian, Alibaba has faulted the Economic Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) for arresting crossdresser, Bobrisky.
Recall that the EFCC filed a six-count charge against the crossdresser following his arrest at his residence in Pinnock Estates, Lagos on Wednesday, April 3rd.
Bobrisky will be arraigned on Friday for money laundering and mutilation of the Naira.
In a now-deleted post on his Instagram story, the veteran comedian kicked against the arrest of Bobrisky while sharing a video of men spraying and tampering with the Naira.
He queried why Bobrisky was arrested while doing the same thing the men did and recalled when the EFCC sentenced another celebrity female for this same crime. Alibaba bemoaned the ill treatment women receive in Nigeria.
His words: “And Bobrisky was arrested for what again? Because they are men? This is not right. The other time on celebrity lady was sentenced for this same thing. Now, EFCC has arrested another lady for the same thing that men get away with. The way we treat women in this country is not good. Mennnnnn… I just tayaaa.”

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has blacklisted several fake loan applications that have been exploiting unsuspecting Nigerians.
The Federal Government endorsed this move, declaring these apps illegal and a menace to society due to their deceptive operations.
These illegitimate loan apps have been causing significant distress through their harassment of users and victims.
Notably, these apps operate outside the legal framework, as they are unregistered with the federal government and have now faced an official ban.
The rise of fake loan apps is a pressing issue in the digital age, where the ease and appeal of online lending platforms have unfortunately also paved the way for fraudulent activities.
Scammers behind these apps lure individuals with the promise of straightforward loan approvals and quick money transfers, targeting those with poor credit scores or limited access to traditional financial services.
Victims, often in dire financial straits, are duped into submitting personal and financial information under the guise of securing a loan.
This sensitive data is then misused for identity theft, financial fraud, or other illegal activities, leaving individuals vulnerable and financially strained.
The CBN’s crackdown on these deceptive apps signals a commitment to safeguarding citizens from digital financial crimes and ensuring a secure environment for legitimate online financial transactions.
Here are the list of fake loan apps that have been blacklisted by the CBN:

Inflation to withstand monetary tightening if Nigeria fails to address supply-side bottlenecks – KPMG
AdminKPMG has said that the effectiveness of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) monetary tightening strategies may fall short unless Nigeria addresses the underlying supply-side constraints fuelling cost-push inflation.
In issue 15 of the Flashnotes publication of KPMG in Nigeria, which was seen by Nairametrics, the firm emphasised the need for a balanced approach that tackles both demand-pull and cost-push inflationary pressures. It called for collaborative efforts between fiscal and monetary authorities to dismantle the supply-side barriers contributing to inflation.
The document read:
- “We recognise that price stability is a necessary condition for economic growth. We equally recognise that raising interest rates is a natural response to inflationary pressures in monetary policy playbooks.
- “However, we emphasise that monetary tightening is more apt for addressing demand-pull inflation. Thus, inflation may yield little in response to the monetary tightening efforts, unless the supply-side bottlenecks fanning cost-push inflation are also addressed.
- “Eliminating these bottlenecks will require concerted efforts from both fiscal and monetary authorities. We are confident that such efforts will better deliver the intended price stability without trading-off economic growth.”
Inflation may lose steam after mid-2024
According to KPMG, a potential slowdown in inflation rates is on the horizon post-mid-2024, largely attributed to statistical base effects.
However, this expected deceleration depends on the absence of new economic policies that might exert upward pressures on prices.
The firm advised against attributing any reduction in inflation rates solely to monetary policy tightening, highlighting the influence of broader economic factors and policies.
KPMG said:
- “Meanwhile, with the onset of base effect expected after mid-year, the next few months will be important for assessing the impact of the CBN’s monetary tightening on inflation.
- “Statistically, inflation is set to lose steam after mid-year largely because of the onset of base effect, except economic policies that significantly pressure prices are implemented. Attributing a decrease in inflation solely to the tightening of liquidity once the base effect kicks in after midyear might be inaccurate.”
Higher MPR to drive portfolio investments
The CBN’s decision to elevate the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) to a historic high of 24.75% in March 2024 is expected to attract more foreign exchange inflows, driven by the appeal of higher interest rates. KPMG projected that these inflows will primarily come from portfolio investments, seeking to benefit from the increased rates.
However, the firm also cautioned about the potential volatility associated with these “hot money” inflows, noting the risks of sudden reversals that they pose to macroeconomic stability.
KPMG said:
- “We expect the higher MPR to attract greater FX inflows that would drive the appreciation of the Naira in the foreign exchange market. However, most of these gains are expected to come from portfolio investments as investors move to take advantage of the higher interest rate environment.
- “The downside of this “hot money” inflow, however, is the risk of sharp reversals in response to changes in market signals. Large scale capital reversals are historically known to birth macroeconomic instability.”
Already, Nigeria has recorded about $3.8 billion foreign capital inflow in the first quarter of 2024 with investors (especially foreign investors) interested in government securities for high yields.
Tightening policy threatens Tinubu’s $1 trillion economy goal
KPMG further noted that the quest for price stability may inadvertently sacrifice economic growth. With Nigeria’s growth trajectory already on a decelerating path, the current policy stance could further deter investments in the real sector, negatively affecting employment and growth.
The firm warned that high borrowing costs and a restrictive monetary environment might lead to an increase in non-performing loans and challenge the government’s ambitious goal of expanding Nigeria’s economy to a $1 trillion economy within the next eight years.
The firm said:
- “Furthermore, we note that targeting inflation from the demand-side (via a sustained monetary tightening of such scale) may inadvertently cause Nigeria to trade-off some growth for lower inflation. This is especially worrying as the nation’s growth has been slow, fragile, and decelerating (3.4% in 2021, 3.1% in 2022 and 2.74% in 2023) in recent times.
- “With the real sector already burdened by high borrowing costs and inflation, the CBN’s decision could further shrink the sector by disincentivising investments. The higher borrowing costs may induce a scale back on investments in the real sector, adversely affecting employment and growth levels.
- “Also, monetary tightening of such scale may give rise to higher non-performing loans. The higher interest rate environment may strain borrowers’ finances and raise their risk of defaulting on loans.
- “Moreover, the government has expressed a desire to grow Nigeria’s economy to a $1 trillion economy over the next 8 years. This ambitious growth drive requires the economy to attain about 12% CAGR over the targeted period.
- “However, the elevated Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) could further restrict the ability of banks to channel credit to support the economy’s ambitious growth drive. Thus, the restrictive monetary policy environment further casts shadows on the attainability of the government’s economic objective.”
Analysts at Augusto & Co earlier said that President Bola Tinubu’s plan to reduce interest rates in the country may clash with the existing tightening monetary policy of the CBN. They noted that the president’s preference for lower interest rates to support economic growth raises the risk of inaction and will be a true test of the CBN’s independence.
However, so far, the CBN has shown its independence with a hawkish monetary stance.

‘Áfàméfùnà: An Nwa Boi Story‘, a compelling Igbo-centric movie, premiered on Netflix on March 29. The project directed by Kayode Kasun had earlier premiered in cinemas on December 1, 2023.
Following its success in cinemas and multiple nominations at the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA), Afamefuna arrives on the streaming platform amid high anticipation and expectations from film lovers.
However, after seeing the film, it is safe to say it deserves every nomination and accolade it received.
SYNOPSIS
After his friend is found dead, a prominent man is questioned by the police about their complex history together in the Igbo apprenticeship system.
THE STRONG POINT OF THE FILM
The major highlight of the film is its simple and distinct plot. While many Igbo-centric films have been made, ‘Afamefuna’ stands out for its exploration of the Igbo apprenticeship system in a unique and detailed manner. It delves into facets of the system that have not been previously explored in other films.
The performance of the cast, both minor and major, is noteworthy. Every actor in the movie brought their A game and delivered professionally. Kanayo O. Kanayo embodied the character of Odogwu beautifully, even though it is different from the role he is well known for, showcasing his versatility, while Stan Nze also demonstrated his acting prowess.
The predominant use of the Igbo language is also commendable. ‘Afamefuna’ presents Igbo language, culture, and practices in their purest form; from the dialogue to the witty sayings, proverbs, songs and use of traditional instruments. This adds an extra layer of cultural richness to the narrative, which was delightful to watch.
The film’s cinematography was excellent. Attention was paid to the visual elements, costumes, and graphics.
THE WEAK POINTS OF THE FILM
The major flaw of ‘Afamefuna’ is its slow pacing. The progression of the movie was very slow, making it boring at some point and leaving me questioning, “What happened finally?” There were unnecessary scenes as well. For example, the scene where Paul took Afamefuna around the plaza and the football argument scene between the boys.
The casting of Bridget Johnson is also questionable. While she is mixed race, neither of her parents was portrayed as white in the film, how did that happen? Also, Nneka, Amaka’s cousin, why was she in the story? I think her inclusion is unnecessary.
FINAL VERDICT
‘Áfàméfùnà: An Nwa Boi Story’ gets a 8/10.
The whistleblowers who initiated the investigation, detention, and subsequent trial of Binance Holdings Limited executives have expressed concerns about threats to their safety and the safety of their families.
The group urged the Federal Government to consider providing them with state protection.
The Empowerment for Unemployed Youth Initiative and Niger Delta Youth Council have written a letter to President Bola Tinubu in Abuja calling for action.
The group maintained that they are the petitioners and whistleblowers who brought to light the blatant misuse of the Nigerian financial system orchestrated by Binance Holdings Limited.
The National Coordinator of Empowerment for Unemployed Youth Initiative, Amb. Solomon Adodo, and the National Coordinator of Niger Delta Youth Council, Engr. Jātor Abido, jointly signed the letter on Wednesday, March 28th, 2024.
The letter reads in part: “We write as the petitioners and whistleblowers that revealed the brazen abuse of the Nigerian Financial system being perpetrated by Binance Holdings Limited to notify you of the present threat to our lives and seek protection from the State through your express Presidential directive.
“We are presently in deep shock and panic as to how the detainee managed to escape without a trace.
“We are also aware that the Binance Team have a very significant financial war chest which we can never match.
“Our fears also stem from the fact that we blew the lid on the terrorism financing/serious operations carried out through the Binance platform.
“We are, therefore, at very significant risk alongside our immediate families.
“We have nowhere else to run than to the Nigerian government for whom we undertook this daring patriotic task.”
Ritual Killing suspected As Body parts of 42-yr-old woman who reportedly died in Ondo road accident found missing
AFOLABI
Controversy has begun to trail the death of 42-year-old Udosen Glory, who reportedly died in a road accident in Akure, Ondo State, last month, following calls for a discreet investigation into her death by her friends.
Her friends maintained that there was more to her death than the claim of auto crash as the cause, as they disclosed that some of her body parts were missing, suggestive of a ritual killing.
Glory, who would have turned 43, on May 8, 2024, was a graduate of Industrial Chemistry from the Federal University of Technology, Akure and an entrepreneur. She was said to have left her abode in the Ajah area of Lagos, to Ogbomosho, Oyo State, on a business trip.
However, apprehension set in after several calls to her mobile line were not answered.
Explaining what she described as a mysterious twist, one of her friends who spoke exclusively to Vanguard on the condition of anonymity, said, “On March 3, 2024, she called me with a new Airtel line, informing me that she went on a business trip to Ogbomoso for an interior decoration/painting job. She told me she would be leaving for Akure, Ondo state, on March 5, 2024, to visit one of her sisters she identified as Shade.
“ On March 7th, she posted her pictures on her different social platforms, thanking God for journey mercies to Akure.
Apprehension
“Later, we realized we hadn’t heard from her for a while via the Whatsapp platform she created. It was unusual for her to stay that long without saying a word about the group, being the admin. All attempts to reach out to her proved abortive. After a while, I decided to reach her on the new line she called me with. and a lady picked it up and said it was the wrong number. But I overheard some people whispering in the background.
“Other people also dialled that number and the lady kept saying it was the wrong number. At one point, the lady at the other end stopped responding to our calls.
” We contributed some money and reached out to the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC to track the line. Through that effort, we were able to contact the lady that Rose G had a business deal with in Akure. But she denied meeting with her
“On our way to report the matter to the Police, someone called me on the phone from a police station located between Ore Expressway and Shagamu, informing that an accident happened on March 8, 2024, involving a lady named Rose G. He said she slumped.
Suspicion
Meanwhile, the lady who earlier denied having met Rose G was discovered to have called a man who was Rose G’s acquaintance, requesting her (Rose G)full name, explaining that her Pastor requested the name because he wanted to pray for her.
“ We suspect there is more to the sudden death of my friend. We are appealing to the Police to investigate her death to give her justice. This is because her eyes and breasts were missing. Besides, by the time we went through her phone, we discovered that she contacted the lady who denied seeing her”.
A video of the corpse made available to Vanguard confirmed the missing parts.
However, when Vanguard contacted the lady accused of having denied being with the deceased, she admitted to having seen her.
The lady who identified herself simply as Folashade, in a telephone conversation with Vanguard, said “ She (late Glory) called me on the phone while she was in Ogbomosho, working. She said she would be visiting Akure to process her results. When she arrived, she went to school. Later, we met and spoke. Thereafter, she left for Lagos, and that was the last time we spoke.
“ When I heard about her disappearance, I went to inform my Pastor and we prayed”, she said.
Also contacted was the sister of the deceased, Stella. She disclosed that the remains of Glory had been buried.
