See Why Ex-Anambra First Lady was slapped

In an interview with Arise TV, Bianca Ojukwu confirmed why she slapped former First lady of Anambra state, Ebelechukwu Obiano during the inauguration of Charles Soludo as the new governor of Anambra state.

A video had surfaced online showing when Bianca gave Ebele a slap after the latter left her seat to allegedly insult her.

Mrs. Obiano who seemed like the instigator was also caught on camera calling Bianca ”Ashawo”.

The widow of the late leader of the breakaway Republic of Biafra, Bianca Ojukwu said she was already seated when Ebelechukwu arrived at the venue of the inauguration.

She said;

I didn’t pay any attention to her arrival. Surprisingly, she then walked towards me and I thought she was coming to greet me. Instead, she verbally attacked me with her voice raised, taunting me and asking me what I was there to do, using unprintable, vile language. She asked if I had come to celebrate their last day in office but I ignored her completely. Then she kept on aggressively putting her hand on my shoulders and shouting. While I ignored her verbal onslaught as advised by people sitting around me, I requested twice that she refrains from touching me with her hands.

Bianca continued;

She proceeded to do so yet again and tried to touch my head and remove my headtie. It was at this point I stood up to defend myself and gave her a dirty slap to stop her from attacking me. As she made towards me, I den pulled away from her wig, she then held on to her wig with her two hands and tried to take the wig away from me.

“The former APGA (All Progressives Grand Alliance) chairman, Umeh, told her to leave me and told everyone to leave. I was stunned by the stench of whisky in her breath at such an early hour of the day. How could the first lady be so drunk at that time? I stayed back to watch the ceremony till the end and left with my dignity intact.”

Hushpuppi caught up in $400k scam inside prison

According to StimulusCard.com Ramon Abbas popularly known as Hushpuppi has received new charges.

Hushpuppy who is currently in prison has been charged by US prosecutors who have submitted court documents showing a fresh fraud of over $400k done m behind bars.

The United State prosecutors presented documents before the United States District Court of California on Wed 16th March 2022 with fresh evidence indicting HushPuppi of committing fraud and money laundering in the U.S Federal correctional facility.

The court documents stated that Hushpuppi, while in U.S Federal correctional facility, participated in the purchase and laundering of Economic Impact Payment debit cards fraudulently obtained from stolen data of U.S citizens and residents.

Economic Impact Payments are financial support offered by the US government to U.S residents according to the CARES Act. One of the ways eligible US residents receive their Economic Impact Payments is by debit cards. From the documents presented in court, it was found that hackers use data of U.S residents to file and obtain Economic Impact Payments debit cards. They sell off these EIP cards in underground marketplaces to other cybercriminals.

In the court document, US prosecutors mentioned that inmates are allowed access to phone calls, video calls, the internet, and computers with limited usage but they are not monitored because inmates have the right to their privacy. Hushpuppi also received this access like other inmates.

However, between 28th Jan and 4th Mar 2022, security officers at the US Federal correctional facility observed more usage of the internet by Hushpuppi. Knowing that Hushpuppi was arrested for internet-related crimes, they obtained a warrant to record Hushpuppi's activities. A dedicated system was set up for him and his activities were recorded for 7 days.

It was found that Hushpuppi was actively buying EIP debit cards from an underground cybercriminal marketplace called StimulusCard (“https://stimuluscard.com/”). While being recorded, Hushpuppi bought a total of 58 EIP debit cards with a total value of $429,800 on the site and laundered the money through one AJ.
