  The National Leader of the Nafiu Bala-led faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Hon. Leke Abejide, has announced his resignation from the party. The lawmaker representing Yagba Federal Constituency of Kogi State made the announcement at a press conference in Abuja on Friday.

Maximilien de Hoop Cartier, a French resident who moonlights as a singer under the name ‘Max Cartier’, was sentenced in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday, April 28, after pleading guilty in October to operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business and to conspiracy to commit bank fraud. Cartier, 58, funneled the money through a web of the U.S. shell companies disguised as fake software and tech firms — with names like Bullpix Solutions, Softmill LLC, and VC Innovated before routing it to Colombia, prosecutors said. The companies existed solely to receive and transmit international drug money, converting narcos’ cryptocurrency into hard currency.
