"I Don't Own The Laptop EFCC Found on Me" ...Naira Marley begs

Embattled 'Yahoo-Yahoo'crooner,

Naira Marley’ s management has released its official statement after the singer was arrested for his alleged involvement with cybercrime last week.

He was arrested on his birthday alongside fast rising Nigerian rapper,

Zlatan Ibile and his crew Tiamiu Abdulrahman Kayode, Adewunmi Adeyanju Moses , and Abubakar Musa.

Zlatan and his crew have since been released on administrative bail while Naira Marley is still in detention after overwhelming evidence was found against him.

His management released a statement today stating that Naira Marley is in no way in support of cybercrime but admitted that the singer went too far with his recent social media outburst.

They also claimed that the implicating Laptop found on the singer does not belong to him and they are asking that he shouldn’t be prosecuted for such a mistake.

Primate Ayodele: changing the form of healing and the prophetic

It would be stating the obvious that churches today are changing the narrative of what it really means to be the Body of Christ.

Even with unproven claim that places of worship are getting rich off their congregation, true Christians can be proud of a House of God like INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church being shepherded by servant of God, Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele, for instance.

Ayodele runs INRI as a place of worship with a difference because he does care primarily about giving as much as he cares about preaching the Word.

At the core of the Gospel is good news, he would say; good news of hope, healing and salvation for all, adding that being a God’s servant is essentially about love, and message, not just in words but also in deeds.

Because Ayodele’s standard is premised on the fact that God wants to love the world through His servants and the world needs to experience God’s love through them, the Ekiti State born cleric has always made love his propelling force through his ministry’s charity segment with a goal to care for the less privileged like widows, orphaned kids, widowers and indigent students.

“Christianity is more than claiming to be saved or going around preaching the Word,” Primate Ayodele noted as he doled out various food items and cash gift to Muslims at the start of the 2019 Ramadan fasting, “it is also about revealing the true nature of God in how we relate to others, particularly the less privileged. Hence, it is important that we often reach out in any way that we can.”

Primate Ayodele’s fruit bearing deliverance power, and the testimonies that go with it, is the evidence of the wonder-working power of God, as those whose lives are restored take turns amidst cheers to narrate their encounter with divine healing and the restorative power of God at open air crusades organized by the INRI Ministry, including during church services.

A recent case was that of a man named Abdulateef Bello from Ilorin who received permanent healing at INRI after nursing stomach pain for 20 years.

Lateef’s miraculous deliverance, among others’, happened at the ministry’s April prayer meeting where Ayodele had released prophetic blessings and healing through INRI anointed water.

Primate Ayodele, no doubt, is an anointed God’s servant. He is endowed with the gift of prophecy and has always delivered on the purpose of prophecy. In his words, prophecy is there to save mankind from destruction and to protect from deception. “The principal reason is redemptive,” Ayodele situates in support of prophetic messages released through him by God.

“Prophecy is not meant to scare us,” declares the cleric, adding that, “our personal prophecy will mean a lot more to us if we know what prophecy is, how it works and if we prepare our heart to receive it, evaluate it, and act on it.”

Lagos Launches Cyber Security Toolkit or Small Businesses

The Lagos State Government on Fri

day announced the introduction of a cyber security toolkit for small business, a free online resource that small businesses can use to significantly reduce their cyber risk and curtail incidences of cybercrime.

The toolkit, which is a joint effort between the State Ministry of Justice and the Global Cyber Alliance (GCA), is an international, cross-sector effort dedicated to eradicating cyber risk and improving the connected world, while the toolkit also provides real-world tools and clear directions for taking immediate action for reducing cyber risk at a time when the need for such resources has never been greater.

Speaking at the launch of the toolkit, Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Adeniji Kazeem (SAN) described the toolkit as a great asset to small businesses, saying that the development would go a long way to tackle the menace of cybercrimes.

According to him, “The major driving force for the deployment of the cyber security toolkit for small businesses in Lagos State is its apparent potential to reduce cybercrime which in-turn has a significant impact on our collective gains as a Ministry that focuses on creating a crime free society.

“The nature of cybercrime goes beyond national boundaries; hence, there is need for international initiative and concerted trans-border joint actions in fighting cybercrime and also providing bulwarks against its perpetration.

“To further its cyber security efforts, the Lagos State Ministry of Justice joined GCA as a partner in support of its mission to eradicate global cyber risk. Small businesses are the lifeblood of a community and provide all manner of essential services and support to individuals, enterprise businesses and government. Even though a business may be small, when it comes to cybercrime the risks are great.”

Kazeem added that the toolkit, which would be regularly updated with input from users, industry experts and public and private partners across the globe, was developed in partnership with Mastercard, while the Global Cyber Alliance also partnered with several additional organizations to create the GCA cyber security toolkit, including the Center for Internet Security, the Cyber Readiness Institute, the City of London and the City of New York.

He said as a thriving State, which encourages inward investment and also supports indigenous Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) which are vulnerable to cybercrime, the initiative was appropriate and timely to the State, assuring that government would further collaborate with relevant stakeholders to make deepen access to the toolkit.

“The Lagos State Government will encourage and collaborate with relevant stakeholders in the business community and regulatory bodies to embrace this cybercrime toolkit for small business as a formidable initiative in fighting cybercrimes and related offences.

“To access the GCA Cybersecurity Toolkit, visit https://gcatoolkit.org/smallbusiness or the website of Lagos State Ministry of Justice www.lagosministryofjustice.org for a redirection to the GCA Website. The Lagos State Ministry of Justice and the GCA will also be conducting a series of webinars on how to protect your business from cybercrime,” Kazeem said.

At the earlier launch of the toolkit, which took place in New York and London on the 19th February 2019, in reiterating the importance of cybersecurity, City of London Police Commissioner Ian Dyson had said: “As the national lead force for fraud and a founding member of the Global Cyber Alliance, we are always pleased to see new initiatives that will assist businesses in improving their cyber security.

“Businesses lost £6.7 million as a result of social media and email accounts being compromised between April and September 2018.

It’s therefore essential that we, as a force, continue to work closely with businesses as well as the organisations that serve to protect them.”

According to Cyrus Vance, Jr., Manhattan District Attorney, “When we launched the Global Cyber Alliance, we set out to empower organizations of all sizes with the tools they need to prevent cybercrime.

“The Global Cyber Alliance’s free Cybersecurity Toolkit provides small- and medium-sized businesses with immediate, concrete steps to protect their companies and customers against crippling cyberattacks, and I thank each of the public and private partners who contributed their world-class expertise.”

On his part, President and CEO of Global Cyber Alliance, Philip Reitinger, said the significant difference between the firm’s Cybersecurity Toolkit and those of others was the fact that it is an action kit, adding that the focus was on protecting small businesses.

“Our focus is on producing a dynamic clearinghouse of operational tools that help small and medium businesses address risk and improve their cyber security posture, leveraging the deep expertise of our network of global partners, such as Mastercard, and the experiences of actual GCA toolkit users,” Reitinger said.
