  Former EFCC chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, has shared shocking details of how Oluwaseun Ogunbambo, a businessman, defrauded the Nigerian government of N3.7 billion through petrol subsidy fraud.

According to Bawa, Ogunbambo claimed he imported petrol, but the fuel never existed. He forged shipping documents and presented them to the government to receive payments. Ogunbambo, who was the managing director of Fargo Petroleum and Gas Ltd, was declared wanted by the EFCC in 2013. He was charged with collecting N976.6 million fraudulently.

 ## BLACKOUT LOOMS: AEDC Workers Issue Fresh Strike Notice Over Unresolved Grievances **Abuja, Nigeria – June 5, 2025** – Residents and businesses across the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Niger, Nasarawa, and Kogi states are bracing for a potential total blackout as electricity workers under the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) have issued a fresh strike notice.

Scandal in the Sanctuary: Pastor’s Daughter Caught in Viral Leak — What Happened Next Will Shock You

  In the quiet town of Eldoret, Pastor Mwangi was known for his fiery sermons and spotless reputation. His daughter, Amani, a university student, kept a low profile—until one evening changed everything. A private video, never meant for the public, surfaced online. Within hours, Amani’s name was trending. Screens lit up with judgment, mockery, and scandal. The community was shaken—not just by the video, but by the fact that it was his daughter. Behind closed doors, Pastor Mwangi wept—not out of shame, but because his daughter’s trust had been betrayed. Amani, devastated, deleted her accounts and shut herself in, fearing the world’s cruelty more than her father’s wrath. But on Sunday, Pastor Mwangi did something no one expected. He stood before his congregation and said, “My daughter is not perfect. But she is loved. And she is forgiven.” Silence fell. Then tears. And for once, the church lived what it preached: grace. And just like that, the he aling began.
