UK-based YouTuber Emdee Tiamiyu who says Nigerians travel to UK under the disguise of study has been arrested over N300M fraud (Video)
Emdee Tiamiyu, a Nigerian YouTuber residing in the United Kingdom, has been arrested on charges related to fraud.
In a widely circulated video on social media, Tiamiyu, who gained attention a few months ago for a contentious interview with the BBC regarding Nigerian immigrants, is now under scrutiny for a financial disagreement involving the UK government.
The incident stems from a recent BBC interview where Tiamiyu commented on Nigerian students in the UK, implying that some exploit the student visa system not for academic endeavors but for employment purposes and to relocate their families to the country.
The interview purportedly influenced the UK government’s choice to impose limitations on Nigerian students, specifically preventing them from bringing relatives to the UK unless they are enrolled in PhD programs.
After the contentious interview, Tiamiyu is accused of defrauding the UK government of £160,000. According to reports, the funds, designated for resettlement purposes, were allegedly diverted by Tiamiyu to build a house in his hometown of Ogun State, Nigeria.
The UK government presumably allocated the resettlement funds to assist Tiamiyu in integrating and achieving financial stability within the country, especially following his asylum claim subsequent to the interview.
The UK government has not yet issued an official statement regarding the arrest or the details of the fraud allegations. The situation is evolving, with possible ramifications for bilateral relations and the international student community in the UK.

vv_348: He got over 160,000 pounds for asylum settlement? How do ya’ll come up with these stories? 160,000 pounds for asylum benefits how exactly? Gosh.
nnenna_blinks_: I hope some Nigerians abroad can learn from this. If you sell your people to the Yt mañ to gain favour and look different They will always look at you the same. Take a look at the Indians, afghans and Pakistanis abroad. They would always put their brothers on and shield them if a code has been decoded. But we rather sell our own to appear more righteoús.

“OPM pastor’s curse is now working” – Happie Boys returns to square one as new video shows them back in their security uniforms (Watch)
Viral ex-Chicken Republic workers, Happie Boys, has made headlines once again online following a recent video that captured them on a road.
Happie Boys, who gained popularity after they got sacked for dancing while working, were spotted again in their popular White and Brown security uniforms.
In 2022, the duo received grace from OPM pastor Chibuzor Chinyere as the latter granted them free scholarship to study in Cyprus. Few months after, Happie Boys called out the clergyman, claiming that he abandoned them in the foreign land and refused to send them upkeep money.
This made pastor Chibuzor very angry as he laid heavy curses on them and pledged not to assist them, which led to their immediate deportation from Cyprus.
However, it appeared that OPM pastor’s curses are now working as Happy Boys were seen in a terrible condition in the video circulating online.
In the video shared by blogger Tosin Silverdam, they looked so rough and helpless as they queue to buy food at a ‘Mama put’ restaurant. One of them was captured in their uniforms, speculating that they had returned back to their security jobs.

Popular Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky has been finally released from the police custody.
Recall that Bobrisky was sentenced to six months prison in April with no fine after he was arrested over the abuse of Naira.
The arrest was made on the movie premiere of actress Eniola Ajao’s film ‘Ajakaju’. EFCC arraigned Bobrisky in court on a six-count charge ranging from Abuse of the Naira and Money laundering. The court, however, dismissed the money laundering charges but convicted him for Naira Abuse after he confessed to the crime. The court also ordered that he be remanded in EFCC detention in Lagos.
In latest development, Bobrisky was released after serving his six months in jail.
A video capturing his release showed the crossdresser being happily received by Eniola Ajao and their other female friend.
