Paul Walker leaves entire $25 million fortune to daughter!

The 40-year-old actor, who perished alongside his friend Roger Rodas on November 30, when the car they were travelling in lost control and crashed in Santa Clarita, California, named his 15-year-old child, Meadow Rain Walker, as the sole beneficiary of his entire estate in his will.

The Fast and the Furious star appointed his father Paul Sr. as the executor, who has filed the will with a probate court.

He has also petitioned to have the court appoint the late actor's mother, Cheryl Walker, as Meadow's legal guardian and the guardian of the teenager's $25 million fortune, as per his son's instructions in the will.

This is an unusual twist as she currently lives with her mother, Rebecca Soteros, but began living with her famous father full-time shortly before his tragic death.

EFCC re-arraigns Ajudua for defrauding foreigners $1.69m!

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Wednesday re-arraigned an alleged fraud kingpin, Mr. Fred Ajudua, and his co-accused, Charles Orie, for defrauding two foreign businessmen of $1.69m (270m) between July 1999 and September 2000.

The re-arraignment came more than 10 years after the charges were instituted against the accused on July 24, 2003.

The matter is therefore starting afresh after about six witnesses, two of whom were foreigners, had earlier testified before it was re-assigned to a new judge, Justice Kudirat Jose. More than 50 court sessions were said to have been conducted in the case since 2003.

Justice Jose, before whom the two accused pleaded not guilty to the four counts of fraud, took over the case from Justice Olubunmi Oyewole, who recently withdrew from the case.

Justice Oyewole reportedly withdrew from the case after a former Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Ishaya Bamaiyi (retd.), petitioned the EFCC, alleging that Ajudua used the names of the judge and others to defraud him of about $8.395m.

At the re-arraignment, EFCC alleged that the accused defrauded two foreign businessmen – Mr. Remy Cina (a German) and Pierre Vijgen – of about $1.69m between July 1999 and September 2000.

They were said to have defrauded the foreigners by collecting the money in tranches under the pretext that it was meant for “sundry payments to government officials” to secure an $18million worth of contract with number, FMA/PED/3040/S92.

After the re-arraignment Justice Jose ordered both Ajudua and Orie to be remanded in prison pending the hearing of their bail applications on February 19.

A Lagos High Court judge, Justice Ganiyu Safari, had on September 24, 2013, granted bail to Ajudua on health grounds during the last vacation of the judiciary in the state.

But the accused was unable to meet the bail conditions up till when the matter was recently re-assigned to Justice Jose.

The judge turned down the request by Ajudua’s lawyer, Mr. Olalekan Ojo, to allow his client to meet the bail conditions instead of being made to file a fresh bail application.

The prosecuting counsel, Mr. Olumuyiwa Balogun, had opposed Ojo’s request, reminding the court that since the matter was starting afresh, all previous orders and steps made in the case were no longer valid.

Balogun had also informed the court that prosecution would not oppose Orie’s request to be allowed to continue to enjoy the bail earlier granted the accused in January 2004.

But the judge ordered that both of them should file fresh bail applications. He directed the prosecution to respond to the applications before the next hearing date on February 19.

She also fixed April 28 and 29 for the re-commencement of trial.

Meanwhile, Justice Oluwatoyin Ipaye of the Lagos High Court, Ikeja had fixed February 12 for the arraignment of Ajudua for the offence of fraudulently obtaining $8.395m from former Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Ishaya Bamaiyi (retd).

59-year-old woman charged in connection with the death and dismemberment her 32-year-old son!

A 59- year-old Michigan woman has been charged in connection with the death and dismemberment of her 32-year-old son. 



According to report, Donna Scrivo was arraigned in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, on charges of disinterment and mutilation of a body. Law enforcement officials revealed that body parts identified as those of Ramsay Scrivo, the suspect's son, were found in garbage bags dumped along Michigan roads. 

Officials at the press conference said they expect more charges to follow. An autopsy is not complete and a cause of death has not yet been determined, Detective Sergeant Jay Cohoe said at the news conference. According to court documents, Donna Scrivo filed a petition seeking hospitalization for mental illness of her son in May and was granted guardianship. 

The petition was filed shortly after Ramsay Scrivo's father's death, Cohoe said. "From what I understand, it (the father's death) did have a negative impact on the family," Cohoe said. Officials stated that there was no history of assault allegations between Donna Scrivo and her son but police had been to the home on disorderly complaints. 

The body parts were found Thursday and Friday at five different locations in St. Clair County, a few miles from the Canadian border. A witness told police she saw a middle-aged woman in a light-colored SUV dumping what she initially thought was garbage in the area. 



Security camera footage from the area confirmed the witness' account. "A suspect vehicle was identified and images broadcast of a person of interest," the St. Clair Shores police and the St. Clair County Sheriff's Office said in a joint news release Saturday. Ramsay Scrivo had been missing since January 26. His remains were identified through fingerprints. 



A neighbor told CNN affiliate WDVI "He would sit outside, very friendly, "Well-respected, everyone talked to him. He would say hi to everybody." 

Donna Scrivo was being held with bail set at $100,000, and with a preliminary hearing set for February 14, according to officials at the news conference. She had not obtained an attorney as of Monday afternoon, officials said.
