By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
A group of civil society organizations under the aegis of Alliance for credible legislative conduct has carpeted Tigran Gambaryan, an American personnel of Binance for attempting to soil the integrity and great reputation of some Nigerian congressmen over unfounded bribery allegations
Top parliamentarians from the Nigerian House of Representatives which include, Ginger Onwusibe who is Chairman House Committee on Financial Crimes, Hon Phillip Agbese ,Deputy spokesperson and Hon Peter Akpanke , are beign spotted by the American for alleged sleaze.
According to the group, the American is attempting to use cheap blackmail to hound and payback the lawmakers after they investigated him for various financial infractions and misdeeds in Nigeria
“It is clear that Tigran Gambaryan having made solo attempts on behalf of Binance to commit huge financial crimes in Nigeria, and having failed miserably to have his way, which led to his investigation and ultimate incarceration, has now turned full circle to unleash a pound of flesh against patriotic Nigerian law makers,( who investigated him) which has now manifested in his fictional claims that he was asked to pay the sum of a $150 million bribe while he was in detention”, the group which is an affiliate of the United of the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council, stated
Alliance for Credible Legislative Conduct in a statement issued and signed by its President, Abdulrasheed Rufai, PhD and Secretary, Benson Alfred Akor, noted that Tigran was a drowning man who wants to drag credible Nigerian lawmakers along
They added that his case is a baffling orchestrated web of malice and a piece of garbage concocted against honourable members of House of Representatives, and as such should be disregarded by Nigerians.
*Below is the full text of the Press statement:*
“Our attention was drawn to the recent allegations of bribery made by Tigran Gambaryan, an American personnel of Binance against Hon. Ginger Onwusibe, Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Financial Crimes; Hon. Philip Agbese, Deputy Spokesperson, House of Representatives, and Hon. Peter Akpanke.
Having looked at the matter painstakingly and exhaustively, we discovered that Gambaryan, who was recently tried in Nigeria for financial crimes; held for months over allegations of money laundering and aiding criminal activities, and was released on humanitarian grounds, after the charges were dropped following U.S. government intervention, is indeed a despicable agent of malice.
It is clear that Tigran Gambaryan having made solo attempts on behalf of Binance to commit huge financial crimes in Nigeria, and having failed miserably to have his way, which led to his investigation and ultimate incarceration, has now turned full circle to unleash a pound of flesh against patriotic Nigerian law makers,( who investigated him) which has now manifested in his fictional claims that he was asked to pay the sum of a $150 million bribe while he was in detention.
Having dissected the position of both the Federal Government of Nigeria, and that of the House of Representatives about the unfortunate saga of Tigran Gambaryan and Binance, we as civil society organizations …… conclude, that what is playing out is a case of baffling orchestrated web of malice and a piece of garbage concocted against honourable members of House of Representatives.
In the light of the above, we hereby use this medium to tell Nigerian people never to fall for the desperate antics of a man already in the pit of disgrace looking for who to rob with his mud.
In condemning this insane, ridiculous and absurd development, it is very obvious that
Tigran Gambaryan is simply on a calculative mission to create unwarranted tension within the National Assembly, embarrass and disrespect the Federal Government of Nigeria. This we will not allow to happen”

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has imposed a four-match suspension and a $20,000 fine on former Cameroon captain Samuel Eto’o following his conduct during a 2026 Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final match.
According to a statement cited by BBC Sport, CAF ruled that Eto’o who currently serves as president of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) breached the principles of sportsmanship during Cameroon’s quarter-final clash with host nation Morocco in Rabat. Cameroon lost the encounter 2–0.
CAF said the former Barcelona and Inter Milan striker displayed inappropriate behaviour on the sidelines, reacting angrily to several decisions made by match officials. CAF President Patrice Motsepe, who was present at the stadium, reportedly witnessed the incident.
Earlier this week, CAF announced it had opened an investigation into what it described as “violent confrontations and unacceptable behaviour” involving players and officials during several quarter-final matches at the tournament.
FECAFOOT has since rejected the disciplinary ruling, raising concerns about the fairness of the process. In a statement released on Wednesday, the federation said the decision “raises serious reservations about the fundamental requirements of a fair trial” and confirmed that it is considering an appeal.
Eto’o, widely regarded as one of Africa’s most successful footballers, has led the Cameroon Football Federation since 2021. However, his tenure has been marked by repeated controversies, including allegations of governance lapses and improper conduct within the federation.
While some football stakeholders in Cameroon have openly criticised his leadership style, Eto’o has consistently denied any wrongdoing, insisting that his administration has introduced meaningful reforms and recorded notable achievements.

After five months in Kidnappers den, five out of eight kidnapped indigenes of Kabba-Bunu LGA in Kogi State finally regain freedom.
As at press time details about their release was still very sketchy.

Details shortly….
The rift between Afrobeats superstar, Davido, and 12-year-old Anuoluwapo Mitchelle, who claims to be his daughter, has intensified following the release of a leaked chat in which the singer allegedly threatened to have the girl’s mother, Ayo Labinjoh, arrested for ongoing “harassment”.
The conversation, which appeared on Anuoluwapo’s Instagram page, co-managed by her mother, shows a tense exchange where Davido reportedly stood his ground, denying her paternity.
While the singer has not confirmed the chat’s authenticity, the messages have quickly gone viral.
In the leaked chat, the singer allegedly warned, “Stop this nonsense. Keep playing, and I will arrest your mother. Try this nonsense again. I’m not your father.”
When Anuoluwapo clarified that her mother was not part of her personal appeal, Davido reportedly doubled down:
“I am not your father. Go and find your father. This is the last time. I’m warning. I’ve done five DNA tests. You’re not mine. Please stop this nonsense before it gets messy.”
Anuoluwapo asked for the results of the tests, and Davido reportedly replied,
“Yes, I will show you. Five. Two of the hospitals were chosen by your mother. Two were chosen by me. All negative. Four tests. Then one test 10 years. That’s five. You’re not my child.”
Expressing frustration at the prolonged dispute, he added,
“You guys have been harassing me for years, and it has to stop. It’s not fair on my actual kids. Please, stop it.”
Davido reportedly indicated he would make the matter public and pursue legal action:
“Don’t worry, I will publish them tomorrow and in the newspaper. I will publish online and in newspaper. Then I will take your mom to court. She thinks it’s a game. Just watch. She will go to jail.”
When Anuoluwapo asked for the hospitals’ names, he allegedly responded:
“It will show in the tests. You don’t worry. I’m not your dad. Sorry. You’re not my child. We will publish everything. Warn your mother. You’re not an Adeleke. I’m sorry. You can also go to the hospitals and confirm for yourself.”
