LIB reader says her husband remarried without properly divorcing her, shares wedding pics with new wife

LIB is the voice of the voiceless and people who want to share their stories with others...so...:-). This LIB reader says her estranged husband committed bigamy by marrying another woman without properly divorcing her. (these are photos of the man and his new bride) What she sent in below...

The essence of this story is for girls to do proper investigations on any  man they wish to marry. Especially if they returned from the States. Get your parents to do search down to the village. Please don't wave their VALID concerns a way. A Nigerian proverb will say "What an Old man will see sitting a young man can never see standing.

I got married when  I was 22 and he was was just a little older at 24. We lived in the Northern part of Nigeria  (Zaria). We have 2 boys and when the last was about a year I won American lottery we both moved to the states.

Bellow is a snap shot of the message he sent to our son. He got married last 2 weekend neither his parents attended the traditional nor the white wedding which was held in Makurdi christian center and. Court was done in Abuja.

He claims he has filed and gotten a divorce in Nigeria. Anything is possible in Nigeria where the system isn't as advanced as the USA. But I know that if you where to get a divorce legally (without egunje) in Nigeria it will require my signature.

I have no doubt that the lady he married is a victim because he is pathological liar and a fraud.
Please ask him why he hasn't entered America again after being whisked away by EFCC for duping his friend and trying to flee Nigeria. Why he hurriedly and secretly got married without coming to collect the back bride price according to the traditional rites. How is it possible to get a divorce legally in court since I still have court marriage certificate with me and hasn't signed any papers. I want the divorce to be done properly and for him to support his children according to law.

John Fashanu interrogated by police after they discover illegal gun at his house in Abuja

John Fashanu has been questioned by the police after they found an unlicensed weapon in his house during a police raid.

About 20 officers stormed the soccer star’s 20-room mansion in Abuja, Nigeria, with a search warrant on Saturday.
 They seized the gun as well as 5 passports before taking him to the city’s central station to be questioned.
 After almost 6 hours of interrogation, he made a statement before being released from custody.

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mirror, Fashanu, 52, said: “I was not arrested - I went to the police station voluntarily.

“I’ll go back tomorrow morning to the police station. I expect to pay a fine.

“It was an old fashioned firearm. I don’t actually know what model it is - it’s like a stub gun.”

Fashanu, who is preparing to fight a bitter divorce case against his estranged wife Abigail at Nigeria’s High Court, claimed she called the police in revenge for him ending their marriage.

He is now due to return there by Monday.

Six CBN top officials, 16 others to appear in court for N8bn ‘fraud’

Six top officials of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and 16 others from some commercial banks are to appear before an Ibadan Federal High court tomorrow June 2nd over their alleged involvement in a N8 billion fraud. According to a statement by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the CBN officials and their accomplices who are all currently in the custody of the EFCC, stole and recirculated defaced and mutilated naira notes to the tune of N8 billion.

The notes according to the CBN was to be destroyed due to their bad state. However instead of destroying the notes, the CBN officials decided to replace the mutilated notes with newspaper cutouts in naira sizes and burnt them, pretending they had destroyed the mutilated note. They then returned the mutilated naira notes into circulation. The statement from the EFCC after the cut ..

“The suspects drawn from various business units of the apex bank are to be arraigned by the anti-graft agency before a Federal High Court sitting in Ibadan, Oyo State, from Tuesday June 2, 2015 to Thursday June 4, 2015. They include Patience Okoro Eye (Abuja), Afolabi Olufemi (Lagos), Kolawole Babalola (Ibadan), Olaniran Muniru Adeola (Ibadan), Fatai Yusuf, Adekunle (Head, Security, CBN, (Ibadan) and Ilori Adekunle Sunday (Akure). The remaining 16 suspects are drawn from various commercial banks who were found to have conspired with the CBN executives to swing the heist. All the suspects who are currently in the custody of the EFCC are now ruing the day they literally allowed greed and craze for materialism to becloud their sense of judgment and responsibility, when they elected to help themselves to tons of defaced Naira notes. Instead of carrying out the statutory instruction to destroy the currency, they substituted it with newspapers neatly cut to Naira sizes and proceeded to recycle the defaced and mutilated currency. The fraud is partly to blame for the failure of government monetary policy over the years as currency mop-up exercises by the apex bank failed to check the inflationary pressure on the economy. The lid on the scam, which is widely suspected to have gone on unchecked for years, was blown on November 3, 2014 via a petition to the EFCC alleging that over N6, 575, 549, 370.00 was cornered and discreetly recycled by light fingered top executives of the CBN at the Ibadan branch. The suspects, who were members of the Briquetting Panel, plotted their way to infamy on September 8, 2014 while carrying out a Briquetting exercise at the CBN Branch, Ibadan. In banking parlance, Briquetting is disintegration and destruction of counted and audited dirty notes. By this practice, depositor banks usually take mutilated notes to the CBN in exchange for fresh notes equivalent of the amount deposited. The depositor banks, in this instance, are Zenith Bank, FCMB, Wema Bank, Access Bank, First Bank, Skye Bank, Ecobank and Sterling Bank. But while carrying out the assignment, the team was alleged to have found one of the currency boxes filled only with old newspapers rather than 20 bundles of N1000 notes. A similar case, according to investigation, had been discovered on September 22, 2014 when a box that was supposed to contain N500 notes to the tune of N5billion was filled with old newspapers. Unlike in the past, this fraud could not be swept under the carpet, as a member of the Briquetting Panel from the Osogbo branch blew the lid on the illicit deal. In a statement, the informant stated that the exercise was designed to last between August 4 and 8, 2014. The 35-year-old, however, stated that she discovered a strange ‘sight’ while opening the third box on the second day of the exercise. It was a discovery that beat her ken. She added that she confronted the other members of the panel, including Eye, Head, Briquetting Panel; Treasury Assistant; Coordinator and Head, Security, CBN, Ibadan, who all assured her that they would look into it. But she later found out that it was all a ruse. She said she later found out that Eye not only maintained sealed lips over the matter but omitted it from her report. A five-count charge awaits the suspects.”
