LOVE SCAM: EFCC Recovers $2,000 For American Victim.

-
Relief came the way of one Margaret Sanders, an American based in Sherman, Texas, as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, successfully recovered the sum of $2,000 which she had lost to a suspected Nigerian fraudster, Benjamin Akugbe, in a romance scam. According to the spokesperson of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, “Sanders, through a petition dated July 9, 2013, alleged that she entered into a relationship on facebook with someone who claimed to be Benny Brown from Warri, Delta State, with both agreeing to get married. “According to her, the suspect in the course of the affair, requested for the sum of $2,000 to enable him join her in United States of America. The money was wired to him through Western Union, into an account with the name, Gladdys Ikpoba domiciled with a new generation bank. Uwujaren further noted that after an endless wait for the finance, Sanders came to the sad realisation that she had been duped and her efforts to recover the money were unsuccessful until she petitioned the EFCC. The commission, through discret investigation recovered and returned the money to the victim.

  Oil firm Royal Dutch Shell was told a pipeline had reached the end of its life years before it spilled up to 500,000 barrels of oil, according to court documents seen by the BBC. Two spills in 2008 affected about 35 sq miles (90 sq km) in southern Nigeria, according to a group suing Shell. The area included sensitive mangroves. Shell "dismisses the suggestion that it has knowingly continued to use a pipeline that is not safe to operate," it told the BBC . The emails, letters and internal reports submitted to a court in London show that senior Shell employees were concerned before the spill that Shell's pipelines in the area had reached the end of their lives and needed replacing to avoid danger to lives, the environment and the economy.
