NDLEA arrests fugitive behind 49.70kg heroin, Festus Ibewuike

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), on Wednesday , said it has successfully secured the arrest and repatriation of Festus Ibewuike, alias Chidibest Ibewuike, a fugitive drug kingpin who had evaded arrest for over two years.

Femi Babafemi, the NDLEA Director of Media and Advocacy, in a statement, said the arrest followed the interception of the single largest heroin consignment ever recorded at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos.

Ibewuike, who relocated to Mozambique where he ran a hotel business as a front, was one of three suspects declared wanted and charged in absentia after operatives of the Agency’s MMIA Strategic Command, in a coordinated 12-day operation in February 2024, intercepted 49.70kg of heroin concealed in cartons of metal-cutting machines at the Import Shed of the airport’s cargo terminal.

‘The operation, which led to the arrest of key members of the syndicate, including his wife, Confidence Ndidiamaka Ibewuike, who routinely received drug-laden parcels marked with the code ‘ND’ on his behalf, also resulted in the freezing of 107 bank accounts and the forfeiture of properties linked to the cartel’, according to the NDLEA Spokesman.

Those arrested were subsequently charged before Justice Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa of the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos, in charge no. FHC/L/205C/2024.

Three of the suspects who have so far been convicted and sentenced by the court, include: Adinnu Felix Chinedu; Osita Emmanuel Obinna; and ?Uzochukwu Frankline.

The anti- narcotics agency revealed that ‘ three other suspects still standing trial before the court are: Chidiebere Reginald Peter; Ibewuike Ndidiamaka Confidence; and Igbokwuputa Onyinye Ireene, while three others who were charged in absentia include: Ibewuike Festus, a.k.a. Ibewuike Chidibest; Osita Chidozie Cyril; and one Arinze.’

The Agency stayeebthat for two years, Ibewuike remained a fugitive, shuttling between Mozambique and Nigeria through neighbouring Benin Republic in a calculated bid to evade Nigerian law enforcement.

‘ That evasion came to an end following actionable intelligence, which led to his arrest at the airport in Cotonou, Benin Republic on Wednesday 2nd September 2026 while the Agency worked with INTERPOL both in Nigeria and Benin Republic to facilitate his handover to a team of NDLEA operatives deployed to Cotonou on Friday 4th September.

‘ He was thereafter conveyed to Nigeria to answer for his role in the trafficking syndicate.

‘During preliminary interviews, Ibewuike, 52, confirmed his identity and disclosed that he had changed his name from Chidibest Ibewuike to Festus Ibewuike’

‘He was thereafter taken to the Agency’s Central Exhibit Store in Ikoyi, Lagos, where he formally identified the parcels of heroin, bearing the ‘ND’ code, established to be linked to him.

‘Further investigation also revealed that Ibewuike Festus had previously been associated with another drug-related case before the Federal High Court, Lagos, presided over by Justice Hadiza Rabiu Shagari in charge no. FHC/L/203C/2013, regarding the seizure of 40.255kg of methamphetamine.

‘The case involved one Chidi Ihedioha, who was subsequently convicted by the court in 2023’

Reacting to the development, Buba Marwa, the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, described the arrest as a major breakthrough in the Agency’s relentless pursuit of fleeing drug kingpins.

‘This arrest is a major breakthrough in our resolve to track down and bring to justice every drug baron who thinks that fleeing Nigeria’s shores puts them beyond the reach of the law,’

‘As I have always vowed, the long arm of the NDLEA will catch up with anyone involved in this illicit trade, no matter how long it takes or how far they run.

‘Festus Ibewuike ran for over two years, hiding under a change of name and a new life abroad, but today he is back in Nigeria to answer for the 49.70kg heroin seizure linked to his network.

‘This should serve as a fresh warning to fleeing suspects still at large: the Agency will not relent until every one of you is brought to book.’

The NDLEA Chairman commended the excellent multinational cooperation that made the breakthrough possible, particularly the Nigerian and Beninese INTERPOL National Central Bureaus for their role in ensuring a smooth transfer of custody.

How to participate in Dangote’s IPO: Step by step guide

Imagine a local transport company operating a single profitable bus route. To expand its fleet without taking on expensive bank debt, the owner invites the public to buy shares in the business. That simple concept is an Initial Public Offering (IPO).

Following formal approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 4, 2026, the long-awaited initial public offering (IPO) of Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE is executing this exact strategy. The company is offering 4.1 billion ordinary shares at N525 ($0.40) per share, seeking to raise N2.15 trillion ($1.6 billion). The offer opens for public subscription on September 14, 2026, and closes on October 13, 2026, with a minimum entry threshold of N5,250 for 10 shares. If the investor demand exceeds expectations, the SEC-approved provision allows the company to issue an additional 15 to 30 percent in shares.

This step-by-step guide below outlines how domestic and international investors can participate in this public offering.

For Nigerian Citizens and Domestic Residents

Step 1: Find a registered operator that is approved by SEC. This process involves registering with an approved stockbroker or downloading a SEC-compliant digital investment platform.

Step 2: Obtain a CSCS Number. Your broker will automatically create or link your Central Securities Clearing System (CSCS) account, which acts as the digital safe holding your shares.

Step 3: Fund Your Wallet. Deposit your intended purchase amount (starting at N5,250) into your brokerage wallet.

Step 4: Apply. Between September 14 and October 13, select the Dangote Refinery IPO on your platform, enter your desired share quantity, and confirm your subscription.

For Non-Citizens and Non-Residents in the diaspora

Step 1: Obtain a Non-Resident BVN (NRBVN). Register through an approved international enrolment centre or partner Nigerian custodian bank.

Step 2: Open Custodian and CSCS Accounts. Set up a CSCS account through an SEC-registered Nigerian custodian bank or authorized international trading platform.

Step 3: Secure a Certificate of Capital Importation (CCI). When transferring foreign currency into Nigeria, your custodian bank will issue an electronic CCI to ensure legal authority for repatriating future dividends and capital gains.

Step 4: Execute Application. Submit your subscription order through your custodian or partner international broker during the offer window.

CPAs at the budget table

IN the coming weeks, Congress will again perform one of its most consequential constitutional responsibilities: scrutinizing the national budget. The Development Budget Coordination Committee (DBCC) has set the proposed 2027 national budget at P7.2 trillion, equivalent to 21.7 percent of gross domestic product. The House of Representatives will deliberate on the National Expenditure Program and examine the government’s spending priorities.

For accountants, this should be more than just an ordinary event to read about quotidianly. It should raise an important question about the profession’s public interest objectives. Should the accountancy profession be an active participant in providing and examining financial and technical inputs in the national budget?

The practice in India is an interesting model worth studying and considering. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), a statutory professional body established under India’s ‘Chartered Accountants Act of 1949,’ regularly participates in the country’s fiscal policy process through technical submissions to the government. Before the union budget, the ICAI solicits recommendations from its members and stakeholders and consolidates them into formal pre-budget proposals.

For India’s 2026 -2027 union budget, the ICAI sought proposals involving the reduction of litigation, greater tax certainty, lower compliance burdens, widening the tax base, improving tax revenues, preventing tax avoidance and rationalizing direct tax laws. These were not simply general observations.

Contributors were asked to identify specific provisions, issues, recommended changes and the rationale behind them. The ICAI subsequently presented its pre-budget recommendations to the government, covering measures affecting taxation, business reorganization, compliance, investment and revenue collection. More significantly, the ICAI reported that more than a hundred of its earlier recommendations concerning the comprehensive review of India’s income tax law were considered in the ‘Income-tax Act, 2025.’

Professional participation does not end when India’s budget is presented. After the 2026-2027 budget was introduced in Parliament, ICAI committees again invited members to examine the finance bill and submit proposals for a post-budget memorandum to India’s Ministry of Finance.

This is an important lesson here for the Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants (Picpa). The Picpa represents a multi-faceted pool of expertise in accounting, auditing, taxation, financial management, internal controls and governance. These are the disciplines that are crucial when the government decides how trillions of pesos are raised, borrowed, allocated and ultimately spent.

The potential participation of CPAs would be advisory and technical in nature and would not interfere with the authorities and prerogatives of the Executive, the DBCC, the DBM and Congress in fiscal and budgetary allocations to the various departments of government. In principle, this would be consistent with the government’s existing policy of encouraging participation by civil society organizations and other stakeholders in the budget process. The DBM already provides avenues for stakeholder engagement during budget preparation, while Congress has likewise opened mechanisms for civil society participation in budget deliberations.

Consider the multiple factors involved in a P7.2-trillion budget: revenue projections; expenditure programs; deficits targets; financing requirements; debt service; agency absorptive capacity; procurement; contingent liabilities; subsidies; and, performance indicators. Behind every appropriation are numbers that eventually become actual collections, borrowings and disbursements.

The DBCC first establishes the macroeconomic assumptions, fiscal targets, revenue projections, expenditure levels and financing requirements that provide the framework for the national budget. On the other hand, the Picpa and the professionals can provide valuable independent perspectives regarding these assumptions involving revenue projections, sustainability of deficit financing, implications for national debt, effectiveness of internal controls, duplication of programs, measurable outcomes of appropriations and safeguards against waste.

In executing this proposal, Picpa could begin developing a structured ‘Pre-Budget Memorandum,’ patterned where appropriate after India’s experience tempered by differing situations of political, economic, and social conditions. Its committees and chapters could solicit recommendations from CPAs in public practice, commerce and industry, government and education. These could then be evaluated and consolidated into technically supported recommendations for consideration by the DBCC, the DBM and Congress.

This participation would also strengthen public understanding of the budget. Budget debates often become hot contests over which agency received more or less money. Yet the size of an appropriation alone tells the tax-paying public little about whether they are receiving value for their money.

The Commission on Audit performs the indispensable constitutional responsibility of examining how public funds have been used. But there is equally great value in applying professional financial expertise before billions are appropriated and spent.

With the proposed 2027 national budget, greater professional participation should be welcomed.

After all, CPAs should not merely help answer the question, ‘Where did the money go?’ More crucially, they should help the public get answers to the gut question, ‘Do the numbers make sense, and do the Filipino people receive value for their money?’

Why app monetisation became a focus of Admoblord’s technology career

For many independent developers, building an application is only the beginning. Turning that product into a business requires an understanding of users, advertising and revenue. That lesson has become central to the career of Nigerian technology entrepreneur Umezulike Joseph Nwabueze, known professionally as Admoblord.

Nwabueze entered digital publishing and software development in 2016, when he began running independent websites. The experience introduced him to online traffic, search and advertising revenue, and sparked his interest in how digital products could make money.

By 2019, he had moved into mobile advertising and app monetisation, working independently while teaching developers about the commercial side of technology.

His educational work has grown through a Telegram community with more than 90,000 members, where he shares information on advertising, monetisation and running digital businesses.

Dangote refinery cuts debt by $570m ahead of IPO

Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE reduced its total secured debt by $570m during the first half of the year, leveraging increased output and sales to bolster its balance sheet ahead of a landmark initial public offering (IPO).

The $20bn facility, constructed by industrialist Aliko Dangote, recorded a net profit of $1.82bn for the six months through June.

This represents a significant turnaround from the $282.1m loss recorded during the same period last year. The earnings surge was supported by higher production capacity and expanded sales, which helped mitigate global supply disruptions caused by the US-Iran war.

According to its prospectus, the company’s total secured debt dropped to $5.67bn at the end of June, down from $6.24bn at the end of last year.

Its net debt-to-ebitda ratio stood at 0.27 times at the end of the second quarter. Management expects this leverage metric to improve further as operational stabilization enhances cash flow generation.

The debt reduction arrives as the company prepares to open its IPO on Sept 14. Dangote, who holds an indirect 87.3% stake in the refinery through various entities, is seeking to raise $1.6bn by offering 4.1bn shares at 525 naira ($0.40) a piece.

Depending on investor demand and regulatory clearance from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the transaction size could expand by up to 30%, potentially raising total proceeds to $2.1bn.

The offer will run for approximately a month, with allotment approvals and the final listing on the Nigerian Exchange targeted for November. To maximise retail and institutional participation, the company has engaged 55 financial intermediaries, including digital channels such as Flutterwave Technology Solutions Ltd, MTN Group Ltd’s MTN MoMo, Moniepoint, Airtel Smartcash and Bamboo.

The refinery, which currently processes 700 000 barrels of crude daily, has repositioned Nigeria from a net importer of refined petroleum products to an exporter, providing regional fuel stability during recent global market shocks.

The producer aims to double its refining capacity to 1.4m barrels per day by 2030 through a $14.3bn capital expenditure programme. However, the company clarified in the prospectus that this planned spending does not constitute an immediate capital requirement.

High-stakes divorce: What happens to offshore assets when marriage ends?

For wealthy couples, divorce isn’t just about who gets the house, the car or the bank account. Some property might be in a trust, and other assets could be sitting outside Kenya altogether. So, by the time a marriage ends, figuring out who’s actually entitled to what can take a lot more digging than just checking whose name is on the title deed.

Under Kenya’s Matrimonial Property Act, 2014, courts ask whether an asset, or the benefit of it, was acquired during the marriage, and whether it was meant for the family’s use.

“They also consider the financial and non-financial contributions made by either spouse towards acquiring, maintaining or improving the property,” says Leah Ng’ang’a, a family law advocate and managing partner at Ng’ang’a and Associates.

“The court may also look beyond the company’s name to establish who actually owns or controls the property,” she says. “Where there is evidence that a company structure has been used to keep matrimonial property out of reach, the court can, in appropriate circumstances, lift the corporate veil.”

That matters most in the big-money divorces, where wealth is scattered across several entities instead of sitting directly with the couple.

“Trust property belongs to the trust or its beneficiaries, not the person who created the trust. Courts therefore do not simply treat trust property as belonging to the person who settled it,” Ng’ang’a says.

But there’s a catch: whoever sets up the trust has to actually own the asset first. And if that person is married, they need their spouse’s consent to move it into the trust, which protects whatever claim the other spouse might have.

“If a spouse transfers assets into a trust or offshore company shortly before or during divorce proceedings, the other spouse can challenge the transaction if they believe it was intended to defeat their claim to matrimonial property,” she says. “The court can examine why the transfer was made, when it happened, who benefited from it, and whether it was done in good faith.”

A transaction that guts the marital estate, or looks like it was designed to hide wealth, is going to draw a closer look.

“There is nothing inherently improper about estate planning or protecting assets through legitimate structures,” she adds. It comes down to timing, intention and the circumstances around the arrangement.

A genuine estate-planning move is usually transparent and done in good faith, often years before any marital trouble starts. “A transfer made shortly before or during divorce, particularly where it appears designed to remove substantial wealth from the marital estate, is likely to receive much closer attention.”

A Kenyan court’s reach mainly stops at assets within Kenya, though it can make orders touching on foreign assets if they’re part of the matrimonial estate. The real trouble starts when someone has to actually enforce that order abroad. A Kenyan order doesn’t carry automatic weight in another country.

“Depending on the country involved and the applicable laws or reciprocal arrangements, the spouse seeking enforcement may have to begin separate proceedings there to have the Kenyan order recognised and enforced.”

This means that disputes over overseas property and investments can get complicated, and expensive, fast.

For wealthy couples, Ng’ang’a points out, splitting things up isn’t as easy as selling everything off and dividing the cash.

“A luxury property, family business or investment portfolio may require professional valuation. Real estate appraisers, business valuers and financial analysts may be involved where spouses cannot agree on what an asset is worth.”

The court looks at what the asset is, how it’s been used, what each spouse put into it and the circumstances of the marriage, bringing in outside experts to value things when needed.

One thing people sometimes miss is that couples who are still married can’t just ask a court to divide their property because they disagree over it.

“They can seek declarations on the shares to which each spouse is entitled, but the actual division of the matrimonial property follows divorce.”

They can, though, sort it out themselves through a settlement deed, whether married or already divorced.

Financial and non-financial contributions

The law counts both financial and non-financial contributions, which matters a lot in marriages where one spouse earns the income while the other runs the household, raises the children, or holds up the family business.

“The spouse who spends years managing the home and raising children may not have made direct payments towards the acquisition of a property, but that contribution can still be considered,” Ng’ang’a says. “The reasoning is that such work can enable the other spouse to concentrate on employment, business or other wealth-generating activities.”

Financial contributions are easy enough to prove: receipts, bank transfers, deposits. Non-financial ones are trickier, and there’s no fixed formula or percentage in the law for weighing them.

“Its assessment is therefore left to the discretion of the judicial officer, depending in part on how effectively that contribution is presented in court.”

As Kenyan families get wealthier and more globally connected, this side of matrimonial disputes is only getting harder.

“Trusts, holding companies, and offshore structures can make it harder to trace where wealth sits, establish who controls it and determine what should properly form part of a matrimonial estate,” Ng’ang’a says. The law, she adds, still struggles to keep up when assets are buried across several structures.

Even so, Kenyan courts can look past the paperwork if there’s evidence a spouse used a company structure to hide property from the other.

CSE ends down 0.38% on heightened selling pressure

The Colombo stock market yesterday ended in red amid heightened selling pressure and concerns over escalating tensions in the Middle East.

The ASPI was down 0.38% or 81.43 points at 21,542.23 and the S and P SL20 declined 0.2% or 12.03 points to 6,054.52.

Market turnover was above Rs. 1.4 billion on over 68 million shares traded with foreign investors emerging as net buyers on a net inflow of Rs. 13.6 million.

First Capital Research said the bourse opened on a positive note before reversing sharply as selling pressure intensified driven by heightened concerns surrounding the escalation in the Middle East and rising global oil prices, which weighed heavily on investor sentiment.

Top negative contributors to the ASPI index were CINS, BREW, CARS, SAMP and JKH. Retail investors were particularly active in selling index-heavy counters, contributing significantly to the market’s decline. Turnover was lower compared to the past few sessions, while HNW participation remained low as well.

The insurance sector led the daily turnover with a share of 23%, followed by the capital goods, and materials sectors collectively contributing 27%.

BYD Automotive App crosses 4,000 installations

BYD and its authorised Sri Lankan distributor, John Keells CG Auto, has launched the BYD Mobile App in Sri Lanka, introducing one of the country’s most advanced connected vehicle ecosystems and marking a major milestone in the brand’s digital transformation journey.

Since the app went live on 7 August, over 4,000 customers have already installed the app, marking one of the most successful adoption rates seen in Sri Lanka’s automotive industry and reflecting the strong demand for connected mobility among the country’s growing BYD community

The launch signals a fundamental shift in what Sri Lankan motorists can expect from their vehicles, moving beyond the road and into a fully connected, intelligent driving experience that owners carry with them everywhere. It also provides Sri Lankan BYD customers with a seamless NEV mobility experience that is on par with global standards.

John Keells CG Auto CEO Charith Panditharatne said the launch of the BYD Mobile App sets a new benchmark for what a connected vehicle should offer delivering a depth of intelligent connectivity, ability to control the vehicle remotely, and real time vehicle management that stands apart in the local market.

‘Since launching, the strong adoption by our customers shows just how enthusiastically Sri Lankan drivers have embraced this smarter, more connected way to own and experience their vehicles. What matters most to us is the peace of mind and seamless experience we can offer our customers. We see this as just the beginning of a much larger digital transformation for our automotive business in Sri Lanka,’ Panditharatne added.

Customer onboarding began at the BYD Delivery Hub in Colombo, where the app was offered to customers alongside their vehicle delivery, and has since expanded rapidly to service centres in Kandy, Galle, Kurunegala, and Ampara. BYD will continue to install the app for customers both at the point of vehicle delivery and across all its service centres, bringing this next generation technology within reach of BYD owners across the island.

With the BYD Mobile App, the vehicle stays connected even when the owner walks away. Owners can remotely lock and unlock their vehicle from anywhere, pre-cool or pre-heat the cabin so every journey begins in comfort, and instantly locate their car using its lights and horn. Real time monitoring puts battery levels, driving range, and charging progress directly on screen, while instant notifications keep owners informed of their vehicle’s status. In effect, the app turns a smartphone into a command center for the entire ownership experience, accessible anytime and from anywhere in the world.

The benefits go well beyond convenience. In a market where peace of mind is paramount, the BYD Mobile App offers owners a constant, reassuring connection to their vehicle, no matter the distance. Every owner also gains a stronger sense of security simply by knowing their vehicle is always within reach, right from their pocket, whether checking on it after a long day or confirming its safely parked and charging overnight.
