Lol. Man robs bank and brags about it on Instagram

Dominyk Antonio Alfonseca

Wonders shall never end, lol. A Virginia man, Dominyk Antonio Alfonseca,was arrested on Monday, May 4th after he allegedly robbed a bank and posted videos and a photo of the bank robbery on Instagram.

Alfonseca was arrested less than 30 minutes later. However, before he was taken into custody, he posted two videos of the bank robbery and a photo of the note he gave the teller to Instagram.

The Teller handing the cash to him

He was arrested just 20 minutes after he posted the video, lol.

The 23-year-old allegedly walked into the financial institution, which he told reporters he chose because it was the "fanciest" one around, and handed over a note.
The note read: "I need 150,000 Bands Right NOW!! Please Police take 3 to 4 minites to get here, I would appriceate if you Ring the alarm a minute after I am gone ... Make sure the money doesn't BLOW UP ON MY WAY OUT ;-)

Two videos of the bank robbery and one picture of the note Alfonseca allegedly used were uploaded to his Instagram account before he was arrested.

The note

He says he did not rob the bank, he just “asked for the money.”
“I don’t know how I’m a robber because I asked for it. I was polite and wasn't rude. She could have said no, and I could have left, what else would I have done?” he says.
He says he's an upcoming rapper and he posted the incident on his Instagram so that he can get exposure because there are a lot of other things on there.

He says he posted it on Instagram to protect himself from police who may have said he was armed. He also wanted to show his social media followers what he was doing.
“I handed the letter to the woman. I recorded her as it was happening, you know,” says Alfonseca.

"I'm basically asking permission for money. In my eyes, I did not commit a robbery, and I feel I'm being charged without reason," he said.

"I posted the video on my Instagram. I videotaped it. If it was a robbery, I don't think I would videotape it, post the picture of the letter and do that all to come to jail," he added.

Reporters spoke to Alfonseca about the incident. He wanted to give shout outs to Michelle Obama, Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga.

Alfonseca is scheduled to be in court for a preliminary hearing on June 12th.

Oba of Lagos threatens to expose those who worked against Buhari during elections

Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, has threatened to expose people who he says worked against Buhari during the 2015 election. He said this at an occasion to mark the 2, 900 days of Fashola as governor of Lagos state

“A lot of things have been happening now. Some people have been telling Buhari all sorts of things. Awujale and I have decided to meet Buhari because Lagos and South West states must benefit from the Buhari administration. People, who are now telling Buhari all sorts of things, are sycophants. They did not want Buhari to emerge winner in the election. These people know themselves. When it gets to a stage, I will name them one after the other. I am not afraid of human beings."  he said.

Photo: 7,000 Nigerians forced out of Niger republic

7,000 Nigerians who have been taking refuge in Lake Chad since Boko Haram attacks chased them from their villages in the North, are being forced out of Niger and back to Nigeria by the Nigerien military. The deportation started on Tuesday May 5th. 

 

According to Voice of America, the Nigerians were forced out against their will following Boko Haram's attacks on the island of Karamga in Lake Chad last month in which 74 Nigerien soldiers and civilians were killed. The Nigerians were deported in trucks and dumped in Yobe state by the Nigerien military. A photo of some of the Nigerians deported above.

Commenting on the deportation, Alhaji Muhammed Kanar, the northeast coordinator for Nigeria’s Emergency Management Agency NEMA , said, “From the first three days, we received nearly 4,000. And in fact, another batch of nearly 3,000 or above, we are now in the process of registration.”.

Karl Steinacker, Niger's representative for the United Nations refugee agency, UNHCR, criticized the Nigerien government for sending the Nigerians back home and putting them at risk. Nigerians and Nigeriens lived around the Lake Chad but the Nigeriens were sent to communities and towns in Niger republic while the Nigerians who are taking refuge in the Lake Chad were deported to Yobe state in trucks. 

"Those islands are home to both Nigerians and Nigeriens working in the fishing industry. But, while citizens of Niger are moving into cities and towns, Nigerians have nowhere to go but back across the border. People’s livelihoods have been destroyed because they have been told you can no longer live and work on the lake, and now they are told, OK, but in any event, we’ll take you back to your country. So they say yes… What other options do they have? Even if they are migrants, the question is, is it appropriate to send them back, and is it the right way it’s being handled, and I guess in both cases it is no," he said.
