However, as Snow-White reports, the furious boss has allegedly refused to settle him and demanded N20 million in return.

My friend’s brother who is supposed to complete his apprenticeship (boy-boy) in Onitsha open drugs market in 2 yrs time was sent home by his boss “oga” after he saw large amount of money in his account .

Their boss heard the story of how an apprentice k!lled his boss when he discovered the apprentice had 5million naira in his account . He decided to check his boy’s own and discovered my friend’s brother has 72million naira in his account

The boy had served him for 4yrs with 2 yrs remaining before settlement and he’s wondering how he was able to have such amount of money. The boy said the money is from side hustles and runs he used to coordinate. He is furious and said people have been telling him how the boy used to shut down in night clubs and eateries but he never believed cos he was a good boy.

News around town is that the boy bought iPhone 17 air and opened a salon for his girlfriend. His boss is so furious and said he won’t settle him, won’t involve police but he should leave his shop immediately and is also demanding the boy send back 20million and keep 52million for himself.

Gunmen on Friday night killed the traditional ruler of Ochia, Barr Paulinus Ekwueme, alongside security operatives in the Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area of Imo State. The attackers ambushed the monarch at the boundary of Assa and Ochia communities after he returned from a trip abroad earlier in the week.

Some security operatives in his convoy were also shot dead. Eyewitness said the monarch and the security operatives were set ablaze after the killing, adding that the Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area had been thrown into mourning.

Hrm lives in America, but some in his town accuse him of acquiring lots of wealth coming from the oil in their land and yet they have no nepa (light) and other amenities, and that this angered the youths of his community to take this step. One said Ms Duruaku wrote, “he ate the youth empowerment meant given to him by shell oil company and ran abroad for years”

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has ordered the immediate arrest of the owner of a multi-story hotel that collapsed in Jikwoyi, Abuja last Friday, April 4 and announced that the land would be seized for public use.

LIB had reported that the building crumbled while workers were on site, triggering an emergency response from relevant authorities.

Visiting the site today April 7, Wike said the building was constructed without approval from the FCT Department of Development Control and that all the stop-work notices sent to the builders were ignored by the developer.

Wike confirmed that while there were no fatalities, several people sustained injuries and were taken to the hospital. He warned that the outcome could have been far worse.

Announcing the government’s plans for the land, Wike said the FCT Administration will take over the land for public use, noting that those responsible for the illegal construction will face prosecution in accordance with the law.

He added that the local community would be consulted to determine a suitable public-purpose project for the reclaimed site.
