Go after MMM promoters, Reps tell EFCC, CBN

*The House of Representatives on Wednesday asked the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Central Bank of Nigeria to immediately go after the promoters of the Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox, otherwise known as MMM, in Nigeria. Lawmakers strongly opposed the investment scheme, which has lately gained popularity among Nigerians in the wake of the current economic recession in the country. The MMM promises 30 per cent return on investment for any money put into the scheme for 30 days. The investment scheme has a Russian origin and "involves directing clients to make money available for an anonymous person with a promise of 30 per cent return within one month." But, members of the House described the scheme as a scam and warned Nigerians not to be carried away by the mouth- watering returns on investment that it promised.

Heartland finished the season on the 18th position on the log with 43 points after 36 matches.
