  The Nigerian national was sentenced to 10 years in prison by Chief District Judge, Rebecca Smith, after he was convicted for involvement in a computer-based intrusion fraud scheme that caused approximately $11m in known losses to his victims, according to the judge. Raj Parekh, the acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia said, "Through subterfuge and impersonation, Obinwanne Okeke engaged in a multi-year global business email and computer hacking scheme that caused a staggering $11 million in losses to his victims.''

  Abdul Mahmud, a former Students' union leader and activist, has lent his voice to the #EndSARS movement which has been revitalized in the last few days.  In a tweet he shared, Mahmud alleged that President Buhari is desperate and ''the threat to shut down Nigeria's internet over the #EndSARS protest is real.''   See his tweet below;   Buhari is desperate. The threat to shut the internet is real. I mentioned it to protesters on Saturday. It is the last dice of this irresponsible government. Time to start exchanging telephone numbers! #SARSMUSTEND We must resist the shutting down as it will imperil small businesses, hospitals that depend on the net for specialist online services, and cripple our economy. Buhari doesn't care; but we must force him to care! Nation-building isn't about exercising naked power!
