“I was not arrested - I went to the police station voluntarily. I’ll go back tomorrow morning to the police station. I expect to pay a fine. It was an old fashioned firearm. I don’t actually know what model it is - it’s like a stub gun.”Fashanu, who is preparing to fight a bitter divorce case against his estranged wife Abigail at Nigeria’s High Court, claimed she called the police in revenge for him ending their marriage.
“The suspects drawn from various business units of the apex bank are to be arraigned by the anti-graft agency before a Federal High Court sitting in Ibadan, Oyo State, from Tuesday June 2, 2015 to Thursday June 4, 2015. They include Patience Okoro Eye (Abuja), Afolabi Olufemi (Lagos), Kolawole Babalola (Ibadan), Olaniran Muniru Adeola (Ibadan), Fatai Yusuf, Adekunle (Head, Security, CBN, (Ibadan) and Ilori Adekunle Sunday (Akure). The remaining 16 suspects are drawn from various commercial banks who were found to have conspired with the CBN executives to swing the heist. All the suspects who are currently in the custody of the EFCC are now ruing the day they literally allowed greed and craze for materialism to becloud their sense of judgment and responsibility, when they elected to help themselves to tons of defaced Naira notes. Instead of carrying out the statutory instruction to destroy the currency, they substituted it with newspapers neatly cut to Naira sizes and proceeded to recycle the defaced and mutilated currency. The fraud is partly to blame for the failure of government monetary policy over the years as currency mop-up exercises by the apex bank failed to check the inflationary pressure on the economy. The lid on the scam, which is widely suspected to have gone on unchecked for years, was blown on November 3, 2014 via a petition to the EFCC alleging that over N6, 575, 549, 370.00 was cornered and discreetly recycled by light fingered top executives of the CBN at the Ibadan branch. The suspects, who were members of the Briquetting Panel, plotted their way to infamy on September 8, 2014 while carrying out a Briquetting exercise at the CBN Branch, Ibadan. In banking parlance, Briquetting is disintegration and destruction of counted and audited dirty notes. By this practice, depositor banks usually take mutilated notes to the CBN in exchange for fresh notes equivalent of the amount deposited. The depositor banks, in this instance, are Zenith Bank, FCMB, Wema Bank, Access Bank, First Bank, Skye Bank, Ecobank and Sterling Bank. But while carrying out the assignment, the team was alleged to have found one of the currency boxes filled only with old newspapers rather than 20 bundles of N1000 notes. A similar case, according to investigation, had been discovered on September 22, 2014 when a box that was supposed to contain N500 notes to the tune of N5billion was filled with old newspapers. Unlike in the past, this fraud could not be swept under the carpet, as a member of the Briquetting Panel from the Osogbo branch blew the lid on the illicit deal. In a statement, the informant stated that the exercise was designed to last between August 4 and 8, 2014. The 35-year-old, however, stated that she discovered a strange ‘sight’ while opening the third box on the second day of the exercise. It was a discovery that beat her ken. She added that she confronted the other members of the panel, including Eye, Head, Briquetting Panel; Treasury Assistant; Coordinator and Head, Security, CBN, Ibadan, who all assured her that they would look into it. But she later found out that it was all a ruse. She said she later found out that Eye not only maintained sealed lips over the matter but omitted it from her report. A five-count charge awaits the suspects.”
“I wish more guys would throw themselves at me,Guys run away. People bought into the story that I’m a sex symbol but I’m not really. I’m really the girl with the baggy clothes and the bag of books.People are afraid of me.”
“Having people ask me about being a sex symbol makes my day because for the first part of my career, I just couldn’t get a career because no one thought I was sexy.People would call Chuck, my manager, and say, ‘We can’t hire her because she’s not sexy’."I wore these big black clothes and big glasses because I can’t see anything, and carried all my books and all my stuff. People were like, ‘She is so not sexy’.Then I was speaking to this female friend of mine who was the photo editor of Playboy and I was like, ‘No one thinks I’m sexy’.And she said, ‘Hugh Hefner wants to put you in the magazine’, and I was like, ‘In Playboy? Ha ha ha!’.And then I realised I was going to starve to death. I couldn’t make my house payments."I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t get a job. I thought, ‘This is ridiculous, maybe I should be in Playboy.’So I made a deal with her and with Hef that I would do these black and white pictures where I wouldn’t be naked on the bottom but I would be naked on the top and my friend would write the story.Then I thought, ‘I’ll tell people I’m sexy’. And that’s what I did. And then I got Basic Instinct and now people think I’m sexy.”I have a really flat a***” she says, gyrating her impeccably toned bottom two feet from my flushed face.“I had a big discussion today on what dress to wear as we weren’t all happy about how flat my a*** is.”
“I resigned from the Nigerian Army several years back. Usually, I wear this Nigeria Army camouflage every time I am going out so I will not pay fare.”
