By -


A Nigerian man was arrested in Atlanta Georgia last Friday morning in connection to online scams in El Paso County, Texas. 
 
Officials with the El Paso County Sheriff's office said the suspect, Kelly Itive allegedly convinced two women to send him $78,000 over the internet.
 
Police said Itive was posing as a middle aged white man with an engineering background while he was committing the scams.
 
Between April of 2017 and February of 2018, investigators said Itive used fake bank websites to convince the women to send him money and had no intentions of paying them back.
 
Itive is originally from Nigeria and came to United States in early 2017 on a student visa. Investigators said Itive immediately started the scams when he arrived.
 
Itive was taken into custody on Friday morning and will be scheduled for extradition back to Colorado to face charges of Theft and Criminal Impersonation.

I Have Compiled 32 Court Orders Being Disobeyed By Nigerian Govt – Falana A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Femi Falana, says he has compiled a list containing 32 court orders which were disobeyed by the Nigerian government. The Human rights advocate said this in an interview on Channels Television breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily. He also tasked members of Nigerian Bar Association of Nigeria (NBA) to rise up to their duties. He added it is not the responsibility of a president or even an attorney general to handpick which court order to obey. “In my latest compilation, I’ve compiled about 32 court orders being disobeyed flagrantly by the government of Nigeria which is not in line with the rule of law. “It doesn’t lie in the mouth of an attorney general or the president of a country to choose and pick which orders of court to obey. “When you do that, you are reducing the status of the country to a banana republic.

A newlywed couple have become the couple with the most short-lived marriage after they divorced just 3 minutes after getting married. Only seconds after they signed their marriage contract in a courthouse, the wife tripped and the groom called his new wife 'stupid' for tripping over. In tears, the bride demanded an annulment. Local media reports that the judge officiating the ceremony dissolved their marriage on the spot. They had only been married for three minutes and this leaves them with the shortest partnership in Kuwaiti legal history . Reacting to the divorce following what is now being referred to as the shortest marriage, social media users defended the woman and said it was no use wasting her time with a man who has no respect for her. One wrote: If this is how he acts right at the beginning, it’s better to leave him. Another wrote: A marriage with no respect, is a failed one right from the beginning.
