The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited disclaims video of adulterated fuel
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has refuted a viral video showing a customer claiming to have bought fuel, allegedly from an NNPC Retail outlet at Keffi Flyover in Nasarawa State.
In a statement provided to the Nigerian Tribune, NNPC Ltd's Chief Corporate Communications Officer (CCCO), Olufemi Soneye, clarified that the dark fuel shown could not have been purchased from any NNPC Retail outlet, as the company does not dispense petroleum products into bottles or jerrycans.
'The attention of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has been drawn to a video clip showing someone pouring a dark liquid, which he claims to be Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), allegedly bought from an NNPC Retail outlet at Keffi Flyover. NNPC Ltd wishes to state as follows:
'We have conducted spot checks at all our outlets and found this claim to be false. The product was not, and could not have been, purchased from any NNPC Retail outlet, as the company does not dispense petroleum products into bottles or jerrycans, as displayed in the video.
'NNPC Retail Ltd does not deal in adulterated products and adheres to rigorous standards and quality control measures at every stage of its operations to ensure only high-quality, safe, and reliable petroleum products are available at its stations nationwide.
'We urge the public to disregard the spurious claims made in the video and to be wary of selfish and unpatriotic individuals promoting such narratives, as they do not have the country's best interests at heart.
'We take pride in maintaining accurate pump integrity through regular inspection and calibration to ensure consistency across our stations nationwide,' the statement concluded.

South Africa: MTN suffers data breach exposing customer information
The MTN Group has said in a statement last week, 24 April, that it has experienced a cybersecurity incident that has resulted in unauthorised access to the personal information of some of its customers in certain markets. Delegates walk past the MTN logo at the Investing in African Mining Indaba 2024 conference in Cape Town, South Africa, on 7 February 2024. "Our core network, billing systems and financial services infrastructure remain secure and fully operational. "An unknown third party has claimed to have accessed data linked to parts of our systems. At this stage we do not have any information to suggest that customers' accounts and wallets have been directly compromised," it said. MTN said it immediately activated its cybersecurity response processes including informing the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the Hawks in South Africa. "We also informed the relevant country authorities and will continue to update them on an ongoing basis while working closely with them and law enforcement agencies in supporting their investigations. "We are in the process of notifying affected customers in compliance with local legal and regulatory obligations," the telecoms company said. As a reminder, MTN provided the following security measures for its customers: - To mitigate any fraudulent consequences, a fraud alert can be placed on an individual's credit report at any of the major credit bureaus. - Keep MTN, MoMo and banking apps and devices updated. - Use strong, unique passwords for accounts and change them regularly. - Be cautious of unexpected messages and do not click on suspicious links. - Do not disclose information such as passwords, PINs and OTP when asked to do so by phone, text message or email. - Where multifactor authentication is available, it should be activated.

Bahrain: Tamkeen pledges commitment to regulatory oversight
Bahrain - The Labour Fund (Tamkeen) has reaffirmed its commitment to regulatory oversight through inspection visits to institutions benefiting from its support programmes, including employment, career development, and enterprise assistance. The aim is to verify proper use of support and ensure alignment with programme objectives. During the first quarter of 2025, Tamkeen conducted more than 2,900 inspection visits. It also implemented follow-up measures in co-ordination with the Labour Ministry, including monitoring cases of unlawful dismissal and maintaining contact with wage and employment support beneficiaries both during and after the support period. More than 20,000 beneficiaries were engaged as part of these efforts, and 18 individual programme violations were recorded. Administrative breaches, such as failure to comply with programme conditions, are addressed under Tamkeen's regulatory framework, with penalties including fund recovery, temporary suspension, or both. Cases involving suspected criminal activity, such as unauthorised employment or wage manipulation, are referred to the competent authorities. Tamkeen reserves the right to apply administrative penalties once legal proceedings are concluded. Tamkeen commended public co-operation in reporting violations through official channels, noting the importance of safeguarding public resources. It reiterated the need for full compliance with support terms and encouraged beneficiaries to engage with inspectors, provide accurate information, and seek clarification when needed. The public is urged to report any irregularities via Tamkeen's platform at the hotline 17383383, or email report@ Copyright 2022 Al Hilal Publishing and Marketing Group Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.

Nigeria: Financial desperation and the CBEX collapse
When CBEX, a digital asset trading platform, emerged with promises of 100% return on investment within a month, many Nigerians, worn down by economic hardship, saw it as a lifeline. But that hope turned into heartbreak when the platform collapsed, resetting user account balances to zero and leaving behind a trail of emotional and financial ruin. In a country grappling with rising inflation, high unemployment, and limited economic opportunities, desperation often drives risky decisions. For many Nigerians, CBEX seemed like a legitimate way to escape poverty. Investments were made in U.S. dollars, and the returns were said to be quick and life-changing. But the collapse proved otherwise. The crash of CBEX is not the first of its kind. From MMM to more recent digital scams, Nigeria has a history of Ponzi-style schemes exploiting financial desperation. In the end, the true cost of the CBEX crash isn't just the money lost — it's the trust broken, dreams shattered, and the desperation that led so many down a path of regret.
