Published

on

Olalekan Jacob Ponle, commonly referred to as Mr. Woodberry, an associate of Hushpuppi, has taken to social media to deliver a significant message to Nigerians following his release from the FBI concerning money laundering charges.

It is noteworthy that on May 29, 2024, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) officially released the infamous internet fraudster Woodberry.

Mr. Woodberry was arrested in Dubai on June 10, 2020, alongside his close associate Ramon Hushpuppi Abbas, who is currently serving an 11-year sentence for similar fraudulent activities.

In April 2023, Gistlover reported that Woodberry, a close confidant of Hushpuppi, had pleaded guilty to internet fraud and agreed to forfeit his luxurious assets in Dubai, in addition to paying $8 million (approximately N6 billion) in restitution to his victims.

The FBI indicated that Mr. Woodberry, being Hushpuppi’s associate, could be released in July 2023 after liquidating his 152 bitcoins, which were valued at N3.6 billion.

As of today, August 9, 2024, Woodberry has confirmed his release from the FBI, although many remain doubtful about the circumstances surrounding it.

In a recent post shared through the insta-stories feature of his official Instagram account, Woodberry has finally addressed the public. He expressed his profound faith in God, asserting that he experiences no lack, stating, “God is my source, I will lack nothing.

Coroner’s Court Warns Naira Marley and Sam Larry of Subpoena for Missing Witnesses’ Hearing

The Coroner’s Court in Ikorodu, Lagos, has warned Naira Marley and Sam Larry, among other witnesses, to attend the ongoing investigation into Mohbad’s death or face subpoenas. Following a request from Mohbad’s father for more witnesses, the court has permitted alternative service.

The hearing, which saw only one key witness present, has been rescheduled to September 30, with subpoenas to be issued if witnesses fail to appear.

At the latest court session, only Boluwatife Adeyemo (Darosha) appeared as a witness. The hearing has been rescheduled to September 30, with the magistrate warning that subpoenas will be issued if other witnesses, including Naira Marley and Sam Larry, fail to attend.

Mohbad’s family has expressed frustration with the police investigation, criticizing their reliance on witness accounts and lack of support for an independent autopsy and toxicology tests. They have called for the removal of officers involved due to alleged mishandling, but the Police Service Commission has yet to respond.

Mohbad, who died on September 12, 2023, at 27, has been at the center of controversy, leading to the arrest of his former record label owner, Naira Marley, among others. The Lagos State Police have formed a special team for the investigation and conducted an autopsy after exhuming his body.
