Wanted Criminal: This man is defrauding Abuja residents and on the run
By Bonaventure Melah
The man whose face is on the cover is a notorious criminal operating within Karshi/Orozo/Kurudu/Karu/Nyanya axis of the Federal Capital territory.
Sources say he was initially operating with the Abuja metropolis but ran into trouble with Police before moving into the satellite areas.
About three weeks ago, he struck around Kurudu junction market where he lured an unsuspecting POS operator into the Christ the King Catholic church and defrauded the lady of the sum of N120,000 after claiming he was a worker/contractor with the church.
His movement with the lady inside the church premises was caught on security surveillance facilities and the church therefore mounted serious manhunt for him after reporting the incident to the Police.
Few days later on June 2nd, 2023, he was caught while trying to carry out his nefarious activities at a health care facility in Jikwoyi. He was making frantic efforts, telling those who caught him that he was innocent.
Luck however ran out of him when a top official of the CKC Kurudu who had watched the video clip of his movement in the church with the POS lady he defrauded arrived at the Jikwoyi health facility.
Immediately he was identified as a criminal, he took to his heals to the amazement of the people that gathered around who then pursued but were not able to apprehend him.
According to sources who know much about his criminal acts, efforts are being made to apprehend the criminal in order to bring him to justice as well as ensure he did not cause sorrow to more Abuja residents.
Anybody with useful information of his whereabouts can contact the police or call Mr. Peter on 0803 479 2950; Mr paulinus 08138937223

Breaking: Court of Appeal rules in favour of Turaki -led PDP candidate for Osun governorship election
The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, on Thursday, ruled that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Gubernatorial Candidate in Osun State was validly nominated by the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee.
The court also ordered INEC to list the PDP logo on the ballot ahead of Saturday’s gubernatorial election.
The Court held that access code is neither a creation of the Constitution nor the Electoral Act; rather, a creation of INEC’s guidelines and cannot, in any way, override the provisions of the Constitution.
Section 288 of the Constitution does not specify the method for nominating candidates; it only states that the names of candidates should be forwarded to the Commission.
The court further held that the defendant (INEC) should take steps to include the name of the appellant on the ballot paper.
Additionally, the court ruled that the primary election conducted by the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP was a valid primary election in law.
The three-man panel of justices—Justice Mahmud, Justice Jaro, and Justice Ankawere, was unanimous in its judgment.
