The Federal Competition Consumer Protection Commission, in collaboration with the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission, National Information Technology Development Agency, and the Nigerian Police Force, on Friday, raided some illegal financial institutions operating on Opebi Road, Ikeja, Lagos. Among the financial institutions affected were, GoCash, Okash, EasyCredit, Kashkash, Speedy Choice, Easy Moni. The raid, the FCC said, was in response to customers’ complaints of malpractices by the financial institutions. Speaking during the raid, the Chief Executive Officer, FCC, Babatunde Irukera, explained that customers had accused the financial institutions of violating their privacy in their debt recovery drive. He said the agency had begun investigations into the allegations since 2020. He said, “This information started quite a while ago. Some time ago, when the country was on lockdown in 2020 due to the pandemic, we started seeing the rise in money lenders” “Because there was lockdown due to the pandemic, people needed small easy loan which is understandable. But over a period of time, people started complaining about the malpractices of the lenders, so we started tracking it” “Towards the end of last year, we gathered quite a lot of information. We started working with some other key agencies and the FCC led the meeting where we all agreed there would be a t effort to look into these businesses.” According to Irukera, the interest rate charged by online financial institutions appear to violate the ethics of how lending is done. He further said, “The key two things that were subject of concern were what seems to be the naming and shaming violation of people’s privacy with respect to how these lenders recover their loans.” “Secondly, the interest rate seems to be a violation of the ethics on how lending is done. So, those were the two things that we set out to look for.” “So, we started an investigation trying to determine the location of these firms. That has been a very difficult thing. We did that for several months and some of them have moved from one place to the another and we have been visiting these places for months” Read Also How online lenders’ crude, offensive tactics push borrowers into depression, suicide (2) How online lenders’ crude, offensive tactics push borrowers into depression, suicide (1) Loan sharks have no right to criminalise defaulters - Lawyer The FCC boss, however, said investigations had revealed that the loan firms were neither Nigerian companies nor ed in the country. “We found out that most of these companies operate from the same place. We also found out that many of them are actually operated by the same person. They are not Nigerian companies, they don’t have an address in Nigeria and they are not ed in Nigeria with the Corporate Affairs Commission and they do not have any licence to do their business” As a result, Irukare said the agency had written to global app companies asking them to suspend the operations of the online banks. He said, “Essentially, what they have is an app, and so we started gathering more information about them. We engaged the public and the people who had been their victims. They gave us more information” “As we got more information we had enough evidence to convince the court to issue a warrant for us to proceed with an investigation into a search and seizure. And sometime last month, a court issued a warrant and between then and now, we were preparing a sting operation which is what you are seeing here today. The reason for this is because we wanted to be sure we are hitting at the place we could get many of them.” He explained, “In addition to what you are seeing here today, the FCC has also issued multiple orders today. Two of them are going to vendors: Apple and Google stores where some of these apps are available. We have asked them to shut these companies’ apps down so that people will not be victimised anymore. Secondly, some of them (the orders) have gone to the bank, asking them to freeze the s used by these people.” “I must add though that not all money lenders are operating illegally and that is why it has been taking time for us to track these people. It doesn’t also mean that the people we are proceeding against today are the only ones, no. We want to start with them. We also understand that they are between five and seven companies operating at the same location.” Source: https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/fg-shuts-illegal-online-banks-freezes-business-s/%3famp 1 Share |

You can buy pregnancy test strip if you don't want to go to hospital. Even if she has aborted it, it will take like a month before the HCG level goes down. Since you said it's still within two weeks, she'll test positive if it's true.

Ukrainian authorities on Sunday launched a website to help Russian families track down soldiers who have been killed or captured fighting in Moscow’s invasion of the pro-Western country. The site — 200rf.com — contains pictures of the documents and corpses of Russian soldiers Ukraine said had been killed since President Vladimir Putin launched the attack. It also has videos of soldiers Ukraine says it has captured. “I am talking to you in Russian because this site was created for you,” Viktor Andrusiv, an adviser to the interior minister, said in a video posted on the site. “I know that many Russians are worried about how and where their children, sons, husbands are and what is happening to them — so we decided to put this online so that each of you could search for your loved one who Putin sent to fight in Ukraine.” READ ALSO: Thousands Flee As Fighting Breaks Out In Ukraine’s Second-Biggest City Andrusiv said that over the past three days Ukrainian forces had captured almost 200 Russian soldiers and more than 3,000 Russian troops had died. “We have documents, photos and videos of all of these people,” Andrusiv said. The name of the site references the well-known term Gruz-200 (Cargo-200) that was used by Soviet military for corpses being flown back from the war in Afghanistan in the 1980s. Russia’s defence ministry has so far given no details of any military losses in Ukraine since launching a multi-pronged attack Putin called a “special operation” to protect two separatist regions. The head of the North Caucasus region of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, on Saturday became the first official to report the death of a Russian soldier in Ukraine. He posted a tribute on his official Instagram page, paying homage to an officer he said had been killed during the “special operation to defend Donbas”. The Kremlin has launched a major propaganda campaign to control coverage of the war in Ukraine and has ordered media to use only Russia’s official versions of events. Moscow has long been accused of covering up losses suffered by its forces as they backed pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine and fought in Syria. Lev Shlosberg, a prominent liberal politician, has suggested Russia’s military was using mobile crematoriums to destroy evidence of those killed in Ukraine. “There is no war. No dead. No tombs. People will just be no more. Forever,” he wrote on his blog.

Dollywood: You mean because I'm sharing boundaries between you and your enemy, I don't have right to be friends with your enemy? Ukraine is a sovereign state, and they have the right to choose who they want to be associated with it. You can't be in your house and be dictating to me on who I should accommodate and not accommodate. 1 Like 1 Share |
