Cybersecurity experts have warned millions of Android users of the new hacking scheme - which gives scammers full control over people's phones. Beyond targeting banking apps and being able to track its victims locations, the malware also targets WhatsApp. Through this malware, known to experts as Hook, hackers are able to gain complete remote control over an Android device.

Cybersecurity experts at ThreatFabric raised the alarm on the malicious scheme earlier this month. "Hook now joins the very dangerous ranks of malware which is able to perform a full attack chain from infection to fraudulent transaction," researchers wrote in a recent report.

 An Enugu Magistrate court has reportedly awarded the sum of N150,000 in damages to a man in his suit against a lady who dishonoured an agreement.

 On January 16, 2023, a high court in Osun State sentenced six people to death on murder and armed robbery charges. These people would join other inmates awaiting death penalty sentencing.  The death penalty in Nigeria has been under debate for years, as some call it inhumane and archaic. In contrast, others see it as ineffective since these executions are rarely carried out. The last death sentence executed was in 2016, making Nigeria one of the ten African countries to have carried out executions in the past decade.  According to section 30 (1) of the Nigerian constitution: “Every person has a right to life, and no one shall be deprived intentionally of his life, save in execution of the sentence of a court in respect of a criminal offence of which he has been found guilty in Nigeria.” Simply put, unless found guilty of a capital offence, you have full rights to your life. So what crimes can earn you a visit from the grim reaper? According to the Criminal and Penal codes, the followi
