Alfa & Prophetess Arrested For Defrauding Bankers of N6M (Photo)

Two staff of a new generation bank (names withheld), simply identified as Temitope and Yusuf, have been allegedly defrauded by an Alfa and a prophetess, identified as Mubarak Abdulahi and Bola Ojo, respectively, in Lagos.
Temitope, a marketer with the bank, met one Ajibola who introduced himself to her as the aide of a renowned politician.
He told her to assist him with the exchange of $30,000 and asked her to bring the money to another bank and collect the naira equivalent.
She agreed after much persuasion with what she stood to gain from the fast deal, unknown to her that she was dealing with fraudsters.


Customer’s funds
Yusuf withdrew the said amount from a client’s account (names withheld) without permission, went with Temitope to the bureau de change and changed it to $30,000 and then went to the designated bank to give Ajibola the money.
When she got to the bank, she called Ajibolatan to inform him that she was at the bank with the said amount.
However, trouble was said to have started after he sent her the office address and asked her to bring the money to his office, that as politicians, it was not safe for them to move around with large sums of money.
She was said to have left Yusuf, who was waiting in the car, boarded a motorcycle and went straight to Ajibola’s office at 28, Samson Street. Oke-Odo.

Spiritual bath, disappearing act
 Vanguard learned that when she got there, she did not meet Ajibola, but met Mubarak Abdulahi who hypnotised her, gave her a sponge and soap, prayed for her and collected the money.
Abdulahi, it was learned, told her to use the soap and sponge to bath, while Bola Ojo spoke from the background as the voice of a purported holy ghost.
Immediately the fraudsters collected the money, they disappeared.

After waiting for two hours, she reportedly ran back to Yusuf and told him that she had been duped.
Meanwhile, the owner of the account debited of N6,036, 000 called Yusuf, her account officer, to ask about the debit.
He was said to have assured her that all was well, that he would pay back the money, saying the colleague he gave the money was duped.

Police
The account owner reportedly petitioned the Commissioner of Police, who then referred the case to the special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, for proper investigation.
During interrogation, Temitope was said to have revealed how she met Adebisi Ajibola in the bank, who is currently at large.
Abdulahi, who had closed his office and relocated to Ilogbo in Ogun State was arrested, and his arrest led to that of Bola Ojo, the prophetess.

Suspects’ story
Denying the allegation, 47-year-old, Abdulahi said: “I am an Alfa and a native doctor. It was my brother, Ajibola that introduced me to Temi.
“She told me that she wants to do money ritual, came to my house at Egbeda for prayers, that she needed to get pregnant and needed money to start her own business as she was tired of her banking job, which had become too stressful.
“I told her to bring N5.8 million to purchase the articles to prepare the rituals that would help her get pregnant, and become as wealthy as she desires.

Hunch-backed camel
“She then brought the money which I collected.
“I told her I was going to buy seven camels that have hunch backs to prepare the concoction that will help her get pregnant.
“I have been into fraud for a while. I am married with four children, I am from Ilorin.”

The second suspect, Bola Ojo, said: “I am a prophetess of K&S and founder of K&S Boluwatife Parish, located at Iyana Ipaja.
“I have three children for three different men. He asked me to do prayers for her and afterwards gave me N200,000.
“I know he is an Alfa and most times, I call him to help me perform rituals for my clients. But Alfa is not my man friend.”

FG releases N5billion to purchase stoves for rural women

The Federal government has released N5billion for the purchase of stoves for rural women across the country, under the National Clean Cooking Scheme, a programme launched by FG to discourage the use of Firewood for cooking.

Announcing the release of the funds, Minister of Environment, Laurientia Mallam, speaking during an inspection visit to the Velodrome at the National Stadium, Abuja, where some of the 750,000 stoves were being assembled, said the stoves will be distributed through the various Ministries of Environment.

 

According to The Nation, she said the contractor, Messrs Integra Renewable Energy Services Limited has been given N1.3 billion from the N5 billion released by the Federal Government for the purchase of the stoves. President Jonathan is to inaugurate the programme today.

“We started in the northern parts of the country because of the challenges we are facing there with the desert encroaching into the country and people still cut down trees. Now, the President wants it to spread throughout the country and so we have this project. The ministry has received N5 billion so far. You know when N9.2 billion was approved by the Federal Government last year, we told Nigerians that N9.2 billion has been approved by the Federal Government. But so far, N5 billion has been released to the ministry. We have given the contractor 15 per cent, which is N1.3 billion. That is what we have released to the contractor and we still have N3.7 billion in the ministry’s account.”she said

Asian mother plunges to her death after 'possibly' stabbing her two children to death

A 40 year old Asian mother, dressed in red, fell from the 4th-floor apartment of a residential building in Val-de-Marne southeast of Paris yesterday Monday May 25th.

When investigators entered the flat the woman had fallen from, they found a baby and a child aged 5 or 6 years, who had been stabbed to death. A knife was left next to one of the tiny victims' bodies.



Two police sources said initial probe results suggested that the woman killed the two children before throwing herself out of the window. However the judicial source said it was too early to put forward a hypothesis.

Shocked neighbours watched as police rushed to the apartment where the tragedy took place in a leafy, residential area southeast of the French capital.
"I heard a noise and boom, I saw her lying there. A fireman in civilian clothing called his colleagues, who rushed here" and tried to resuscitate the woman, said Sikirou Salaou, a security guard at a nearby supermarket who witnessed the fall.

"A neighbour told the firemen: 'There are children up there,' and they rushed up," Salaou added.

Another baffled neighbour, Gomez Goncalves, said the dead woman "had two little boys. She was nice, calm," and had lived in the neighbourhood for at least 10 years.

Goncalves said the mother had had a series of successive partners in recent years, but could not confirm whether she was seeing anyone at the time of her death.

"There were never any arguments," he said.
