Medical Doctor Arraigned Over Alleged N39.1 Million Visa Fraud in Port Harcourt

Port Harcourt, Nigeria – In a developing financial crime case, Dr. Nekabari Dambere Nathan, a Port Harcourt-based medical doctor, was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) before Justice P. I. Ajoku of the Federal High Court, Port Harcourt. The charge: defrauding unsuspecting individuals of N39.1 million under the guise of facilitating international visas and job placements.

Dr. Nathan, alongside his company, Global Horizons Academy Ltd, faces a one-count charge related to obtaining funds by false pretence. According to EFCC prosecutors, the funds were collected between April and December 2023 from Justice Toojah Iyeagbu, Managing Director of Riskout Consults, purportedly for processing visas to Canada, Ireland, and the United States.

The petitioner claims Dr. Nathan misrepresented himself as a certified care-giving trainer and travel agent, promising to secure international employment and IELTS exams for clients. Instead, no visas or jobs were provided, and he allegedly evaded all efforts to recover the funds.

The court proceedings saw Dr. Nathan plead not guilty. His counsel, Friday Otanjah, requested bail on medical grounds, while EFCC’s counsel, A. Abubakar, asked for his remand pending trial. Justice Ajoku scheduled June 25 for bail hearing and November 27 for full trial commencement.

This case adds to growing concerns over visa and employment scams preying on Nigerians aspiring for overseas opportunities. Authorities urge the public to verify credentials before engaging with travel facilitators.

Russia Faces Major Setback as Iran Regime Risks Collapse Amid Conflict

In a week where Middle East tensions dominate global headlines, Russia is quietly watching a crisis that could shake its strategic foundations — the potential collapse of the Iranian regime. At a high-level conference in Moscow themed “Russian-Iranian Cooperation in a Changing World,” top officials found themselves confronting a harsh new reality: Iran — one of Russia’s closest allies — is facing unprecedented pressure as the war with Israel escalates. With U.S. support behind Israel and former President Donald Trump demanding Tehran’s “unconditional surrender,” Iran’s grip on power looks increasingly shaky. For Moscow, this could be a devastating geopolitical blow. While Russia has forged deep military and economic ties with Iran — including a recent strategic partnership treaty — it is clear the Kremlin has no intention of stepping into the battlefield on Iran’s behalf. Analysts say Russia is unwilling to risk direct conflict with the U.S. or jeopardize its interests in Ukraine. “If ...

Trump’s Shifting Iran Strategy Sparks Division and Global Uncertainty

U.S. President Donald Trump’s unpredictable posture toward the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran has raised eyebrows across Washington and unsettled even his most loyal base. Over the past month, Trump has swung between diplomacy and confrontation, leaving both allies and adversaries unsure of what to expect next. After a surprise early departure from the G7 summit in Canada, Trump claimed Iran was “very close” to acquiring nuclear weapons—a position at odds with recent assessments from U.S. intelligence and international nuclear monitors. The inconsistency has led to concerns that the U.S. may edge closer to a military role in the Middle East, despite Trump's repeated promises to avoid foreign entanglements. Just weeks ago, Trump praised ongoing negotiations with Iran, hinting that a new deal on nuclear development was “almost done.” But those diplomatic signals shifted quickly as regional tensions erupted. Following Israeli strikes on Iranian military f...

Iran-Israel Conflict Update: Nuclear Talks Halted Amid Missile Strikes

  Posted by DailyBrill Teams The Iran-Israel conflict has escalated dramatically, entering its ninth day with intense missile exchanges. Israel reportedly targeted Iran’s nuclear facility in Isfahan, while Iran responded with drone and missile attacks. Amid the chaos, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declared that Tehran will not resume nuclear diplomacy until Israel halts its aggression and is held accountable. Despite European efforts to mediate in Geneva, no diplomatic breakthrough was achieved. The United States is weighing its next move, with President Trump giving Iran a two-week deadline. As tensions grow, the risk of wider regional conflict looms large. On the ninth day of intensifying conflict, Iran and Israel continue to exchange missile and drone strikes while diplomatic avenues remain frozen. The Iranian government has firmly ruled out any possibility of restarting nuclear negotiations until Israel halts its military offensive, further deepening the regiona...
