Ex-Premier League defender, Lucien Aubey jailed for fraud after scamming his friend out of more than £120,000.

A former Premier League defender has been jailed for fraud after scamming his friend out of more than 120,000. Lucien Aubey, 40, was handed a two-year jail term, with 12 months suspended by a court in the French city of Toulouse. He previously made three Premier League appearances for Portsmouth in the 2007-08 season, when the club won the FA Cup under Harry Redknapp. As well as winning five caps for Congo, he also played for Toulouse, Rennes and Reims in addition to clubs in Turkey and Cyprus. Aubey and his co-accused Mohamed Dia, a clothes designer, allegedly told the man, named only as Sebastien, 42, that he would earn 1million in three years’ time. But he has now been found guilty of fraud after getting a friend to invest in the creation of a record label. The individual had also previously landed a 170,000 payout following a road accident. Aubey had previously been declared bankrupt and disqualified from setting up a company, while shoe repairer Sebastien went to the police but never saw his investment again. He accused Aubey of threatening to harm his children after seeking repayment. Sebastien, 42, said: ‘I lost everything, and my wife wanted to commit suicide. I had to give up work. ‘We split up, and those two [Aubey and Dia] just had a good laugh about it all.’ Aubey told the court: ‘My money was tied up in Cyprus, held by my club Olympiakos Nicosia. This wasn’t a fraud – I never robbed anyone.’ But prosecutors were able to reveal phone conversations between the ex-footballer and Dia, which demonstrated an intent to defraud Sebastien. On Monday, the court ordered Aubey to repay 145,000, and to not contact his victim while Dia received a one-year suspended jail term for his actions.The post Ex-Premier League defender, Lucien Aubey jailed for fraud after scamming his friend out of more than 120,000. appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

”I am holier than you. I have impacted the society more than you”- Lizzy Anjorin tackles gospel artiste Tope Alabi after she refused to perform at her surprise birthday party
Actress Lizzy Anjorin and gospel singer, Tope Alabi, are currently at loggerheads after the singer refused to perform at a surprise birthday organized for Lizzy. The actress turned a year older and her fan club collaborated with her husband to surprise her with a performance from gospel artiste, Tope Alabi, whom they said she loves dearly. The gospel singer and Soji Alabi, her husband, arrived at Lizzys clothing store in Lagos but declined to perform when they discovered the purpose of their visit. As the news filtered on social media, users gave several possible reasons the singer failed to honor Lizzy with a performance. Anjorin later addressed the incident on Instagram, stating that she couldnt blame the Alabis for their decision. She criticised her fans for spending money on the failed surprise party instead of supporting her business.I dont celebrate birthdays, only a wicked person would claim I do. Im not in a position to judge their reaction, but if I had invited them myself, I wouldnt have paid them anything she saidIn another video she shared, Lizzy further said that the singer cannot portray herself as someone who is holier than her, Lizzy. She went further to ask what impact Tope has made with her many years of singing as a gospel artiste.I am holier than you, AUnty mi Tope. If we are to ask what is your impact in the society? I am holier than you. I have impacted lives than you. I have e,powered lives than you. If you say you have empowered people, they are people who fed off you, not people in the society. I have done more good , I have added more value to the society than you. Aunty mi, If I should count them all, it will take more than a year. I have done beautifully well. I am pure. If you judge me, I am thankful that God does not judge me”Watch a video of actress Lizzy speaking below View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lindaikejiblog (@lindaikejiblogofficial) The post ”I am holier than you.

Woman allegedly poisons boyfriend for cheating, hides his body for days

There’s serious drama unfolding in the Marine Base area of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, and it’s straight out of a crime thriller—but this one is real.
A young woman has allegedly poisoned her boyfriend to death in what many are calling a deadly act of revenge over infidelity.
Sources from the Iyo Polo community say the woman found out her boyfriend had been cheating on her and decided to take matters into her own hands—literally.
According to local gossip, she reportedly laced his food or drink with poison and watched him breathe his last. But here’s where it gets even darker—she didn’t call for help or alert anyone. Instead, she allegedly dragged his lifeless body under the bed in his room… and left it there for three whole days.

The neighbors started getting suspicious when a terrible smell began wafting through the area. They tried reaching out to the guy but got no response.
Meanwhile, the girlfriend was reportedly acting cagey—refusing visitors, locking herself in, and generally behaving like someone with a very dark secret. Naturally, the neighbors did what nosy neighbors do best—they called the police.
When officers forced their way into the apartment, they were hit by the stench and the shocking sight of the decomposing body hidden beneath the bed.
The young woman was promptly arrested and taken into custody. The police are still piecing together the full story, but early reports hint that the whole thing may have been triggered by a heated relationship dispute gone horribly wrong.
