PRESS RELEASE

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION: NIGERIA POLICE FORCE ARREST, REPATRIATE CHINESE FUGITIVE TO CHINA

The Nigeria Police Force, through the INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) Abuja, has successfully apprehended and repatriated a Chinese fugitive, Mr. CHEN Gaochong, to the People’s Republic of China, in close collaboration with Chinese Police authorities and in accordance with international law enforcement protocols. This strategic operation marks a significant milestone in transnational police cooperation and the global fight against financial crime.

Mr. Chen Gaochong, a male national of China, was declared wanted by the Peixian Public Security Bureau of Jiangsu Province for offences involving tax fraud, specifically the unlawful issuance of special Value Added Tax (VAT) invoices totalling RMB 4,974,400. The investigation, initiated by Chinese authorities on 5th March 2020, revealed that between May and August 2017, the suspect fraudulently issued 45 VAT invoices for fictitious transactions under the guise of legitimate business activities. These invoices were issued to Xuzhou Wanfeng Plastic Industry Co., Ltd., using the names of two other companies, Linhai Guangyong Plastic Products Co., Ltd. and Linhai Beilaisi Plastic Products Co., Ltd., without their consent or involvement.

Following the discovery of his criminal activities, Chen Gaochong fled Mainland China on 16th November 2019 through the Shenzhen Bay port to Hong Kong, and later escaped to Burkina Faso before illegally entering Nigeria in 2021. He deliberately avoided renewing his international passport in an attempt to conceal his identity and evade arrest. An arrest warrant was subsequently issued by the Peixian Public Security Bureau on 9th July 2020 for his detention on suspicion of tax-related offences.

Upon receipt of a formal request for assistance from Chinese authorities, INTERPOL NCB Abuja commenced covert intelligence operations, leading to the successful tracing and arrest of the fugitive in Lagos on Tuesday, 24th June 2025. In the spirit of international law enforcement cooperation and mutual legal assistance, Mr. Chen Gaochong was repatriated and formally handed over to Chinese authorities on Thursday, 3rd July 2025.

The Nigeria Police Force, under the leadership of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, reaffirms its dedication to ensuring that Nigeria does not serve as a haven for criminals fleeing justice. The Force remains committed to upholding global standards in transnational crime prevention and will continue to strengthen its collaboration with international law enforcement agencies to combat crime and criminality.

Court Jails Mohammed Gobir Seven Years For N300m Fraud In Lagos

Justice R.I.B. Adeniyi of the State High Court sitting in Ikeja Lagos, on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, convicted and sentenced one Mohammed Gobir to seven years imprisonment for N300m fraud.

His journey to prison began after he was arrested by the operatives of EFCC at his Ikoyi, Lagos residence on September 12, 2015, following a petition received by the Commission from an outdoor advertising company , Afromedia.

Gobir, according to the petitioner, was introduced to the Company by its private placement consultants, Synergy Capital Advisory Limited, sometime in 2008.

He, thereafter, offered to invest the sum of N1billion in Afromedia, a pretext that earned him a position as Chairman, Business Development Committee, on the Board of Directors.

Investigation revealed that Gobir, having earned the trust of the company’s Board, defrauded the company of several millions in hard currency.

He was subsequently arraigned on March 17, 2016 by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on a 17-count charge bordering on obtaining under false pretence, stealing, possession of fraudulent documents and forgery.



One of the counts reads: That you, Mohammed Gobir, a non-Executive Director and Chairman of Business Development Committee of Afromedia Plc, between January 2009 and December 2011 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, with intent to defraud, obtained the sum of N514,457,151.87 (Five Hundred and Fourteen Million, Four Hundred and Fifty Seven Thousand, One Hundred and Fifty One Naira, Eighty Seven Kobo) from Afromedia Plc by falsely pretending to Afromedia Plc that the said sum of money represented the cost of facilitating and securing the sum of $70,000,000 (Seventy Million Dollars) from your account in NATWEST Bank, London, United Kingdom as your investment fund in Afromedia Plc out of the $250,000,000 (Two Hundred and Fifty Million United States Dollars) stashed in your account at NATWEST Bank, London, United Kingdom which pretence you Knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1(3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, No . 14, 2006.”



He pleaded “ not guilty” to the charge, thereby leading to his full trial.



During the trial, the prosecution counsel, Nnaemeka Omewa, called four witnesses and tendered several documents that were admitted in evidence against the defendant. The defence counsel, Y.B. Bayero called three witnesses.

Delivering judgment on Wednesday, Justice Adebiyi convicted and sentenced the defendant to seven years imprisonment on count 1 of obtaining under false pretence; counts four and five of stealing and counts 8, 11, 14 & 17 of possession of fraudulent documents.



He was sentenced to six months imprisonment on counts four and five of stealing.

The sentences are to run concurrently.

The Judge ordered the convict to pay restitution of $1 million USD and ₦123 million for the convictions on counts four and five for stealing.

The restitution is to be paid to the nominal complainant.

The court, however, discharged him on the counts of forgery and being in possession of forged documents.

*TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU STAND TO GAIN?*(Series 3)

*Scripture Reading:* 1 Samuel 18:8-9

*"Then Saul became very angry, for this saying displeased him; and he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but to me they have ascribed [only] thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom?” Saul looked at David with suspicion [and jealously] from that day forward."*(AMP)

Continuation from where we stopped yesterday:

We will be observing David and Saul as our case study today. The truth is, something must motivate a man. So the question is WHAT MOTIVATES YOU IN TAKING THAT DECISION?

*What kept David and Saul going, every day?*

*What made David weep for a man that was pursuing to kill him?*

*And what made Saul pursue David and want his head at all cost?*

These are the questions we are going to be looking at. Two different people, with different reasons for getting up in the morning. Believe me, you and I are in one of these two categories this morning.

So, from the above scripture, I Samuel, starting at chapter 18 right through to II Samuel 1 and see what motivated David and Saul in their pursue of destiny.

David Was Motivated By Love And Saul By Selfishness. *Truly, someone whose love is genuine, such will be committed to much sacrifices, patient, tolerance, perseverance, selflessness act, etc. And that's the attributes that manifested in David's life. But to a selfish person, the lives of others make no meaning to them. They're ready to do anything just to achieve their self-centered evil desires, not minding if it affects others precious destiny. And that's exactly what we saw in Saul's life.* WHAT MOTIVATE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU STAND TO GAIN? To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a great day, peace.

*Prayer point:* Dear Lord, take away my purpose and give me your purpose that will motivate me in doing your will in Jesus Christ name. Amen!

*TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU STAND TO GAIN?*(Series 2)

*Scripture Reading:* Proverbs 16:2

*"All the ways of a man are clean and innocent in his own eyes [and he may see nothing wrong with his actions], But the Lord weighs and examines the motives and intents [of the heart and knows the truth]."*(AMP)

There's need to always think twice before taking that steps. Looking at the advantages and the disadvantages that accompany your about decision. The above scripture is so clear, that the ways of a man is the best in his own eyes and that nothing is wrong with his actions but only the Lord weighs the motives, actions and intent of the heart.

*So, before you decided to ruin that Marriage, what do you stand to gain, before plotting that evil against your fellow christian, what do you stand to gain, before you agreed to join the association, all in the name of helping the work of God with demonic power, what do you stand to gain? Will God be please with all your actions and intent?*
In life something has to drive you to do what you do. For example, what makes you get out of bed in the morning? What is your motivating factor to face the day? Is it to make money, see the sunshine, go for a perty. *What do you live for and what makes you do the things you do?*

Jeremiah understood this, hear his prayer in Jeremiah 10:23-24; *"O Lord, I know that the path of [life of] a man is not in himself; It is not within [the limited ability of] man [even one at his best] to choose and direct his steps [in life]. O Lord, correct me [along with Your people], but with mercy and in just measure—Not in Your anger, or You will crush me and bring me to nothing."*(AMP). Tomorrow morning by God's Grace, we will begin to look at David and Saul as the case study. *Just as Jeremiah prayed, that the Lord should correct him even when he had gone far in his stupidity, so I encourage you to always ask God for mercy in all ramifications.* Good morning and do have a great day, peace.

*Prayer point:* Holy Spirit, even though I took a wrong steps, never let go far before you correct me and return me to your will in Jesus Christ name. Amen!

*TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU STAND TO GAIN?*(Series 1)

*Scripture Reading:* Proverbs 21:2-3

*"Every man’s way is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs and examines the hearts [of people and their motives]. To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice [for wrongs repeatedly committed]."*(AMP)

This morning by God's Grace, we will be going into another series as the Holy Spirit will be revealing Himself to us. Remain blessed in Him in Jesus name. Amen!

The fact that we came from Christian homes doesn't really makes us a child of God or followers of Christ. Our faith and righteousness living, obedient to God's ordinances, walking in accordance to His divine will, your character, motives towards divine agenda of God in your life will dictate your stand for God and reason for your living.

Our motive always must reflect a desire to please God, and not to impress people. This alerts us to be conscious always of the motive of our actions. Today's scripture, Proverbs 21:2 says that *“every way of a man seems right in his eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart”,* because we too can be self-deceived; we must ask the Lord to expose the inner motives that cast shadow across our minds and dim our spiritual discernment. Psalm 139:24 says; *"And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way."*(AMP)

In the same manner, before criticizing someone else, we need to pause long enough to discover our even motive. *Failing to do this can bring disastrous results. What is often termed “constructive criticism may actually be destructive jealously, since the easiest way to raise our own status is to bring someone down. Are you willing to question your motives before you offer criticism? Does the critical finger you point need to be pointed first toward you?* The motives behind criticism are always more important to deal with than the criticism itself. Therefore child of God, be conscious of the motives of your criticism always to avoid wrong interpretation of your motive.

CHECK YOUR MOTIVES AND ACTIONS TODAY, *WHAT DO YOU STAND TO GAIN?* To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a great day, peace.

*Prayer point:* Oh dear Lord, help me to reveal your real self in my Christian journey in Jesus Christ name. Amen!

You lied about your past, your father disowned you – APC chieftain Eze blasts Wike

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has responded to some of the claims made by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike during a recent interview.

Wike recently appeared on Channels Television’s Politics Today where he, among other things, claimed that he came from rich background and attended school driving in his own car. He said this insisting he did not come from the same background as his former boss, Chibuike Amaechi.

Wike also claimed that Dame Judith, the wife of Rotimi Amaechi, was collecting the sum of N4 million monthly to train Rivers women. Wike vowed to resign if the report of forensic audit on the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, does not indict Amaechi’s wife.

Reacting to Wike’s claims, Eze, an ally of Amaechi, who often stand for the former Minister of Transportation, said Wike only presented falsehood about his past exposure to the public thereby ridiculing himself.

According to him, Wike, who was an errand boy to Amaechi, has of today denied everyone who made one contribution or another to lift him from abject poverty which reigned supreme in his family.

Eze wondered whether it was Wike that made himself a Local Government Chairman, Chief of Staff to Amaechi and later nominated himself as a Minister during the Jonathan regime.

“Trying to claim how rich his father was when poverty that radiated his family was as strong as the direct ray of sun, is denying his background,” Eze said in a statement he signed and made available to reporters at the weekend.

“His father, if alive, would be disappointed in his act of self-denial to justify his lavish living with public funds. Not minding that his father disowned him because of his character and if not for his friend’s father who assisted him by paying his school fees, Nigerians would have been spared of having such a charlatan in public service

“In his futile attempt to castigate Amaechi’s wife who had genuine dealings with the NDDC, one is forced to ask whether Wike’s wife is fit for the exalted position of a Judge which she holds given that sleeping daily in the same room and on the same bed with a character like Wike will definitely affect her sense of judgement in the delivery of justice. The business of Court is a noble one and the background of a Judge shapes his/her sense of judgement.”

Eze blamed Amaechi said the former Rivers Governor made the greatest error in his political journey by encountering Wike and assisting him to be a Local Government Chairman; appointing him as his Chief of Staff and recommending him for Ministerial appointment.

“As Governor, Wike’s biggest legacy is the destruction of all major policies and projects set up by the Amaechi’s government for the betterment of Rivers State and her people. The Agricultural set up that would have taken care of the food challenge currently facing Nigerians was destroyed, the educational sector and scholarship set up by Amaechi to make Rivers State a hub for human development was destroyed by Wike.”

Peter Obi ‘reduced to Amaechi’s level’, now Commander-in-Chief of lies – Presidency

President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, on Monday described former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi as the “Commander-In-Chief of misinformation and falsehood”.

Bwala spoke while reacting to Obi’s remark that Tinubu has borrowed more than former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Musa Yar’Adua, Goodluck Jonathan, and Muhammadu Buhari.

Posting on X, Bwala wrote: “Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the commander in chief of misinformation, disinformation and falsehood; Peter “Gbajue” Obi.

“The Gbajue movement have found a new hero called “grok” but sadly, each time they asked grok for comments about me, they got what they never wanted to hear.

“We are focused on substantive issues raised by Gbajue and are on high alert to take down falsehood and disinformation.

“They said we are having sleepless nights yet we are only reacting to Gbajue’s obsession about our president and our government.

“In fact, why wasting our time with someone that has been downgraded and relegated to a second fiddle and is now left to struggle for that position with Rotimi Amaechi?”

*Scripture Reading:* Psalm 78:36-37

*"Nevertheless they flattered Him with their mouths And lied to Him with their tongues. For their heart was not steadfast toward Him, Nor were they faithful to His covenant."*(AMP)

Glory be to the name of the Lord for His unmeasurable Grace and mercy we receive daily. As I conclude this series today, it's my earnest prayer that you will experience the miraculous at this season in Jesus Christ name. Amen!

Continuation from where I stopped yesterday:

3.Insincere Prayer: Insincere Prayer is not genuinely meaning what has been expressed at the altar of prayer. Today's Scripture says; they lied to Him with their tongues and also, their heart was far away and never been Faithful to God's covenant.

*IV). THE SIN OF LIMITING GOD:* The hindrances to the outpouring of the power of God in our lives are grievous sins. What makes them grievous is that they thwart God’s will for our lives and deny Him the glory that is rightly His. Let us see how and in what way:

1.We bring the Creator down to the standard of the created when we exhibit lack of faith in His power, love and ability to meet our every need.

2.We doubt His holy word simply because we lack that high level of trusting faith. *"Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us,"* (Ephesians 3:20 AMP)

CONCLUSION: Some of you need a miracle in your MARRIAGE. The same Jesus who visited the wedding of Cana will visit your marriage too! Believe in Him. Some of you need a miracle in your FINANCES. We serve Jehovah-Jireh, the God who provides! His still doing it today. Some need HEALING in their bodies. Jesus healed every person who ever came to Him. He will be your healer today in Jesus name! *And lastly, If you need a miracle, I want you to step out of your comfort zone by standing to claim your miracle by faith and you will get them in Jesus Christ name. Amen!* Good morning and do have a fruitful week, peace.

*Prayer point:* Lord, I lay down my unbelief and insincere today, let your power find expression in my life. I work in the Miraculous else forth in Jesus Christ name. Amen!

MY LETTER TO THE WORLD ON
HOW TO ALLEVIATE WORLD PROBLEMS IN OUR CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY.

In contemporary society, a multitude of abnormalities persist on a daily and nightly basis, spanning generations. The continued practice of misguided belief systems prompts the inquiry: how can we terminate this chaos? Consider the following: the concept of racial superiority is fundamentally flawed. Individuals from all ethnic backgrounds require assistance from one another. We are designed to coexist, sharing resources and celebrating diversity. It is apparent that life's offerings are not exclusive to one race; discoveries and innovations are intended to benefit humanity collectively. Ultimately, nothing in life is solely reserved for one group.

1) The reality that I emphasize in my messages to the world is that all humans are connected and originate from a single source. What constitutes a better life, which is comprised of everything that brings us happiness and fulfillment? Through my examination of life, I have come to realize that we all share the same fundamental needs. Moreover, I have found that even before humanity came into existence, everything required for a fulfilling life was already in place. We do not need to be selfish or harmful; our desires can be attained through love and mutual respect. Africa, America, China, and India are all valuable contributors to the world, and failure to recognize this is a sign of ignorance that requires attention.

(2) Failure to acknowledge the truth about our perspectives on other races: It will astonish you to learn about the self-perceptions of Chinese, Indian, Black, and White individuals. Instead of collaborating and educating ourselves about the realities of life, some races attempt to conceal, destroy other cultures, and manipulate them to perpetuate exploitation. However, this behavior will not persist indefinitely, and eventually, the suppressed and exploited individuals will acquire the capacity to rise up against their oppressors, leading to a reversal of consequences. I emphasized that it is foolish for any race to consider itself superior to others; we are one, one world, one God, one humanity, we want a good life, a beautiful earth, highlighting that the world's resources are sufficient for humanity to share, and we will never exhaust them.

(3)Every individual has free will, except for minors who require supervision. So-called international laws that supposedly aim to improve the world appear to favor one race over others. In response to the corona virus, Africans developed their own solutions, but these required approval from the World Health Organization, resulting in delays pending WHO validation. In Nigeria, many companies are closing because overseas companies do not want local solution providers to coexist with their own, so they use their collective power to stop it. If we are to achieve peace and progress, we must work together, love one another, and share with one another. Otherwise, a time will come when no human can stop the nemesis of our corrupt attitudes. Interestingly, the most corrupt country in the world, which is also ranked as the most curious, questions why it is not listed among the corrupt nations. We must allow every country and race to decide what is good for them, as nobody should rule the world due to the lack of human capacity, which only the creator possesses.

To summarize, the notion that one human being is superior to another is a falsehood, as is the idea that we do not need each other's support in life. Additionally, it is a misconception that any race can exist independently of others. It is also untrue that we do not all require the necessities of life, which bring fulfillment. It is an established fact that humanity shares a common origin. Consequently, we must work collaboratively with love, respect each other's cultural diversity, and share the resources provided by our creators for our mutual benefit.
