The suspect

Yusuf Muhammed

A 46-year old Pastor, Archie Good Morrow has been sent to Kirikiri Prison in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria for allegedly duping 499 women of the sum of N3.59 million.

The suspect was alleged to have told the woman to pay N70, 000 each into his account and that thereafter he would give them a loan of N150, 000.

After receiving the sum of N3, 592, 800, he bolted with the money and relocated to another location.

All efforts by the women to get their money proved abortive as he no longer picked their calls.

Luck, however, ran out on him when some of the women got a tip off that he was hiding somewhere around Oke Aro, a suburb of Ogun State.

The women traced him to the area where he was eventually arrested by detectives from the Pen Cinema Police Station in Agege, Lagos.

The suspect was arraigned at Court 9, Ogba, under section 312 of the Criminal Code Law of Lagos State.

He pleaded not guilty and was granted bail in the sum of N200, 000 with two sureties with evidence of tax payment for three years.

The case has been adjourned to 28 September, 2016 and he was remanded at Kirikiri Prison pending when he would meet the bail conditions.

FG berates US congressman over comment

Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture Photo: Femi Ipaye/PM News The Federal Government has described as sadly out of tune with reality the published letter from US Congressman Tom Marino to Secretary of State John Kerry, asking the US to withhold security assistance to Nigeria on the strength of some imaginary infraction by the Buhari Administration. In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said Congressman Marino was poorly informed about the issues he commented on, wondering why he did not take the pains to get first hand information from the US Embassy in Nigeria or any other credible source before engaging in what is nothing but a ‘propaganda of his own imagination’. The Minister said by asking the US to refrain from selling warplanes and other military equipment to Nigeria based on a faulty premise, the Congressman has demonstrated a poor understanding of global security issues. ”Insecurity anywhere i
