A Nigerian woman described as one of the top hundred most dangerous and wanted fugitives in the world, has been jailed for 13 years.

According to reports, the woman was extradited to Italy to serve her 13-year jail term on grounds of “criminal conspiracy, enslavement, human trafficking and exploitation of prostitution. The woman who has been identified as Jeff Joy was extradited from Abuja to Italy after years of being on an Italian wanted list for a long time. Jeff Joy who is known to be the head of the mafia gang was reportedly the one responsible for receiving potential Nigerian victims upon their arrival in Italy and managing their operations as they settled in the country. The statement issued by the Italian National Police reads; “The investigations by the Ancona policemen date back to 2007 when the woman held an important role in the management of the pro§tit¥tion business between Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain, characterized by violence and thr£ats also against the families of girls in Nigeria. The crim¥nal is one of the few women included in the list of 100 dang£rous fugitives, drawn up by the integrated joint group for the search for fugitives of the Central Directorate of the Criminal Police. Her extradition represents the first provision under the extradition treaty between Italy and Nigeria, signed in 2020, and was possible thanks to the joint work of the Nigerian judiciary, the Italian ambassador in Nigeria, and the Italian Ministry of Justice. “Following an investigation by officials of the International Police Cooperation Service (SCIP) in the African country and the issuance of a red notice in 2010, the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigerian intelligence service, managed to track down and arrest the woman on June 4, 2022.”

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has criticised goalkeeper Emi Martinez for leaving his box to go up for a corner in Saturday’s clash against Arsenal. Unai Emery reveals he 'didn't like' Emi Martinez running up for late corner Aston Villa was 3-2 down when Martinez decided to go to Arsenal’s box to try to covert the corner kick. Arsenal was able to win possession and the subsequent counter-attack allowed Gabriel Martinelli to roll the ball into an open goal to secure a 4-2 win. Commenting on Martinez’s decision to go to the box, Emery said; Unai Emery reveals he 'didn't like' Emi Martinez running up for late corner “Our game plan is, of course, quality really and on the pitch they have to take the decision. He decided in the last action to go to the corner offensively, but I don’t like it. But I told him nothing, before or after because in all my career I have never told our goalkeepers to do it and the statistical data is going against the teams that are going with the goalkeeper more than scoring any goals.”

Blackface has accused Grammy award-winning artist Wizkid and music executive Banky W of theft of intellectual property. In 2016, Blackface accused Banky W and Wizkid of stealing his song titled ‘I Like The Way’ in making ‘Slow Whine’ and also accused them of sampling his song titled ‘Twist and Turn’ for ‘Ginger’, one of the tracks from Wizkid’s popular album ‘Made In Lagos’. Speaking in an interview with  The Whistlers on Wednesday, Blackface disclosed he is yet to hear from Banky W and Wizkid since the issue popped up in 2016. He further added that Wizkid has been avoiding Nigeria in order not to get served with a lawsuit. He said: “I called them (Wizkid and Banky W) out for sampling my song ‘I Like The way’ which they changed to Slow Whine without my permission. “From that time, they have not reached out to me till today, in fact, I think that is the reason why Wizkid is not staying in Nigeria, he knows he will get served, so they are running up and down from Ghana to Benin Republic to Togo, nobody can find them yet, but once we see them and find out where we can reach them, we will serve them.”

Kwankwaso disappoints Nigerian youths; gives reason why he can’t be Peter Obi’s running mate

Kwankwaso disappoints Nigerian youths; gives reason why he can't be Peter Obi's running mate

The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, has cut short many expectations after he submitted that he can’t be a running mate to Peter Obi of the Labour Party because he is more qualified than him.
More so, he added that accepting to run as Obi’s vice presidential candidate will collapse the NNPP: a party he said he suffered to build in the last 30 years.

According to Peoples Gazette, Kwankwaso made these submissions while speaking on Saturday in Gombe State.
Noting that his political profile and wealth of experience having served in various capacities had helped in bringing NNPP to limelight within a short time, the former Kano State Governor insisted that Obi should rather deputize him.
He was quoted as saying: “I served for 17 years as a civil servant; we are talking of 47 years of very serious hard work that is what is rarely holding NNPP now.
“Accepting to run as Mr Obi’s vice presidential candidate will collapse the NNPP. The party is based on what we have built in the last 30 years.
“One issue raised during discussions for merger with the LP, was that most of the people from there believe that the presidency has to go there (South East), but presidency going to the South-East in 2023 must be done based on strategy, political calculation and equation.
“The South-East are good in business and are well talented but they should learn politics, “in politics they are at the bottom line.”
On his choice of running mate, Mr Kwankwaso said: “There were options to pick from the South, and one of them is the Labour Party man you are talking about.”
This led to angry reactions on social media as many Nigerians, believably Obi supporters, advised their favourite presidential candiates to shun the former Kano governor and look for another running mate.
