Police Arrest Bank Manager, 5 Others Over Alleged N369m Fraud

By


Police operatives of the criminal investigation department at the Delta State Police Command, Asaba (State CID), have arrested the manager and five others of the First City Monument Bank (FCMB) Asaba, for allegedly diverting N369million funds of the state government into a fictitious account.
Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mrs. Celestina kalu, who confirmed the arrest of the suspects, said investigation into the alleged fraud was on going, adding that they were granted bail after two days in detention.

The suspects, Mrs. Felicia Omoyenu, Luke Obasa, Maureen Joseph, Frank Obiorah and Jane Kuyi were reportedly arrested last Tuesday on a tip-off after they had allegedly diverted the funds into a fictitious account.
It was reliably gathered that a staff of the state internal revenue board, (names withheld) who leaked the ‘deal’, is now on the run following alleged threats by some relations of the suspects.
Police sources said the suspects, upon interrogation, had made useful statements, saying they shared the money among themselves and are currently being queried at the FCMB Head Office in Abuja.
But further investigation revealed that over N70 million was allegedly found in the Manager’s son’s account, while the five other suspects confessed to the crime, saying that they were only given part of the money.
Meanwhile, the Police in Agbor Ika South Local Government Area of the state have made a major breakthrough in arresting the hoodlums involved in the persistent snatching of motorcycles within the metropolis. - LEADERSHIP NEWS

JOKE: AKPORS: Like father, like son

By
Akpors and his father were visiting the shopping mall for the first time. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and back together again. Akpors asked his father, AKPORS: “Daddy what is this?” His father [never having seen an elevator] responded; DAD: “Akpors, I have never seen anything like this in my life before, I don’t know what it is.” While Akpors and his father were watching wide-eyed, an old woman of 72 years of age walked towards the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the woman rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and Akpors and his father watched small circles of lights with numbers above the walls light up. They continued to watch the circles light up in the reverse direction. The walls opened up again and a beautiful young woman of 22 years of age stepped out. Akpors’ father said to him, DAD: “Run fast, go and bring your mother.”

Ice Prince preaches against pre-marital sex

By
*Ice Prince Zamani Ice Prince may have learnt one or two lessons from having a child outside wedlock as the young man, perhaps from experience, advised students of the University of Lagos against having pre-marital sex. At the MTV Base Suga Tour where the singer was one of the artistes that performed, Ice Prince thrilled the students and other guests with hits from his albums, making them dance and dance as they sang along with him. Amid the fun, some of the students inflated condoms and turned them into balloons and started tossing them around the auditorium. It was then Ice Prince caught one of the condom turned balloons and started preaching against pre-marital sex. His advice was well accepted but it didn’t stop one or two of the students talking about Ice Prince being a father. “This guy thinks we don’t know that he has a child outside wedlock or does he think we would have forgotten so quickly. I think he should have given himself this advice before impregnating a w...
