SIX of the FBI’s Most Wanted Fraudsters. CAPTURED.
Four continents. Over 4,000 combined days on the run. More than $2 BILLION tied to the FBI’s Most Wanted Fraudsters list alone.
These fugitives thought crossing international borders and hiding overseas would put them beyond the reach of American law enforcement.
They were wrong.
This FBI and our international partners will pursue those who defraud Americans, no matter where they hide.
JUSTICE WILL FIND YOU.

Since his first video, I knew this guy had more to say about fake products, and has intel. I fear for his life right now tbh.
His life may as well be over, because his people are cruel and evil.
I remember the fish seller guy that was murdered just because he dared to sell as genuine and non inflated prices.

Thanks to @Meta and our international law enforcement partners for helping deliver these results.
To the criminals targeting Americans from overseas: JUSTICE WILL FIND YOU.

Operation Blackout is taking the fight directly to the international cybercriminal networks stealing billions from Americans.
Our latest operation in Nigeria delivered:
9 ARRESTS.
53 electronic devices seized.
$11 MILLION in potentially freezable funds identified across multiple countries.
These scam centers exploit innocent victims, steal life savings, and operate across international borders believing they are beyond the reach of law enforcement.
They’re wrong.
Thanks to Nigerian law enforcement and our partners in London for their outstanding cooperation.
To the criminals targeting Americans from overseas: JUSTICE WILL FIND YOU.

In 2015 JP Morgan dropped Nigeria from its bond index because foreign investors couldn’t get their dollars out.
Eleven years later, it’s planning to open a bank here.
It wants a merchant bank running before year-end, pending CBN approval. Last month it also put Nigeria in a new emerging-market bond index at 7.4%.
Don’t expect an account though. Merchant banks serve big companies and government, not individuals.
Still, when the world’s biggest bank moves in, global investors pay attention.

🚨💣 𝐌𝐀𝐉𝐎𝐑 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Manchester City paid more than £51m for Erling Haaland — more than PSG paid for Neymar in 2017. 🥶🔵
City paid close to €250m but reached a secret agreement with Dortmund not to disclose the actual amount.
Reports suggest some journalists were paid to report £51m as the transfer fee.
The EPL is carrying out strong investigation into this incident according to reports.

At a private dinner in Paris yesterday evening with His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose bold and forward-thinking reforms have put our economy firmly on a path of sustainable growth.
The results are increasingly evident top Nigerian companies now included on the FTSE Russell Frontier 50 Index, the NGX at historic highs, increased foreign direct investment and renewed economic confidence, a unified and more stable foreign exchange market, foreign reserves standing strong at about $55 billion, and so much more.
I remain proud of you, Mr. President! 🇳🇬

"The cartels are the ISIS of the Western Hemisphere."
President Trump delivers a stark warning about the threat posed by drug cartels, describing them as enemies "at war with civilization" and pointing to murder, rape, torture and extortion as instruments of terror.
Trump says cartel members should face the most severe consequences, including being killed, exiled or detained as enemy combatants without the possibility of release.

Nigeria is having a remarkable cultural moment in the world. Our music fills stadiums across continents. Our films and stories are reaching new audiences. Nigerian creativity, fashion and culture are commanding global attention.
We must turn this moment into lasting economic value for our people.
Today in Paris, I met with Vincent Bolloré of Bolloré Group, and his executives for extensive discussions on expanding their investments in Nigeria across film, entertainment, fibre optics and the digital economy.
Through Canal+, MultiChoice, Universal Music and other businesses, they are looking to do more in Nigeria. They see our country as the arrowhead of Africa’s cultural awakening, powered by Nollywood, Afrobeats and the growing global appetite for Nigerian culture.
I want more of the value created by Nigerian talent to remain in Nigeria. More production at home. Greater investment in our local industries and infrastructure. More opportunities and jobs for our young people. I have made this case consistently, including on greater localisation by MultiChoice.
Our reforms are creating the conditions for investment and growth. My responsibility is to ensure that these investments translate into real opportunities for Nigerians.
This is the purpose of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu

U.S COMMENDS NIGERIA ON REMOVAL OF 12-YEAR CONDITION OF ENTRY
The United States Government has commended Nigeria for its sustained maritime security reforms, which led to the lifting of the 12-year Condition of Entry imposed on vessels visiting the United States from Nigeria, saying the development will deliver tangible benefits to shipping operators, reduce shipping costs and strengthen trade between the two countries.
In a letter addressed to the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, the U.S.
Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Frank Garcia Jr., congratulates Nigeria on the milestone, describing it as evidence of the country’s “sustained strengthening of port security and anti-terrorism compliance.”
He says The United States values its maritime and economic partnerships with Nigeria and looks forward to continued collaboration in promoting secure, efficient, and mutually beneficial trade between our nations.
Speaking on the development, Minister of Marine and Economy, credited President Bola Tinubu’s leadership and strategic support for the milestone, particularly the administration’s decision to prioritise the marine and blue economy as a key pillar of Nigeria’s economic transformation agenda.
The letter provides a fresh endorsement from Washington following the United States Coast Guard’s decision, announced in August, to lift the long-standing security restriction on vessels arriving in the United States from Nigeria.

Nigerian-American physician Dr. Bennet Omalu transformed sports medicine through his groundbreaking research on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), changing how the world understands brain injuries in athletes. His remarkable story inspired the Hollywood film Concussion, where he was portrayed by Will Smith. His courage, scientific discovery, and meaningful legacy embody #AmericanExcellence.
