#BBNaija: I’m ready to forgo N120 million grand prize for Alex – Pere [Video]

Big Brother Naija ‘All Stars’ housemate, Pere Egbi says he is ready to relinquish the N120 million prize money for Alex.

The actor said he is in love with the energetic dancer and would love to be in a serious relationship with her outside the house.

Pere made this known while having a conversation with Uriel, Ike and Venita, saying that Alex is the only female housemate he loves.

In response to his statement, Uriel gushed and said that she would love to attend their wedding if they get to that stage.

The former US Army officer, however, said that she trivilized his feelings for the filmmaker by making it look like he was joking about how he feels towards her.

“There is only one girl here I’m love with. I’m ready to drop the 120 million for this girl,” Pere said while pointing to Alex.

Chief Executive Officer of BLord Group, Linus Ifejika indicated interest in purchasing the 152 bitcoins seized from notorious internet fraudster, Olalekan Jacob Ponle, popularly known as Mr Woodberry.

This came amid reports that the United States authorities (FBI) planned to sell the bitcoins following Ponle’s guilty plea to $8 million wire fraud, according to a document filed Friday, July 8 at the U.S District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

Mr Woodberry was said to have agreed to forfeit all proceeds of the wire fraud, which he committed using the name ‘Mark Kain’.

The federal authorities called on interested persons to file a claim for the property within 30 days and register with valid documents, saying they would “provide written notice to any person known to have alleged an interest in the property that is the subject of the preliminary order of forfeiture.”

In reaction to the development, B-Lord informed the Federal Bureau of Investigations that he N3billion is available for the acquisition.

He wrote; “@ fbi wetin come be our work?? We buying bitcoin 247 non stop , 3 Billion dey ground , Just hit my dm asap lets trade it on @jetpay.ng or whatsapp me…asap , Drop welsfargo account only, rate na 780/$ now”

It was reported earlier that US prosecutors said if nobody comes forward to claim ownership of the seized assets, they would proceed to advertise their sale.

“The United States shall publish notice of this order and of its intent to dispose of the property,” the federal authorities said in the motion filed by Morris Pasqual, an acting U.S. attorney overseeing the case.

Woodberry was arrested in Dubai on June 10, 2020, alongside his friend and associate, Ramon ‘Hushpuppi’ Abbas after which they were handed over to the FBI. He is currently at a correctional facility in Chicago, Illinois.
