BBA: I'm making money in Ghana - Excited Pokello reveals

Thursday, September 26, 2013

Former Big Brother Africa (BBA): The Chase Zimbabwe representative, Pokello Nare, who has been in Ghana for the past two weeks with Ghanaian BBA housemate and lover Elikem Kumordzie says she is making money in Ghana as she parties. She said she cherishes the "quality time" she is having in the West African country.

Pokello has met Elikem's relatives and reports from Ghana say she has often been spotted at shopping malls shopping with her prospective sisters-in-law.

The programme in Ghana involved a lot of travelling from region to region. The lovebirds toured and partied in three regions in Ghana with the last party held in Ghana's oil city, Takoradi, on Monday. The parties were well funded and supported by industry giants such as sponsors of BBA, Airtel and Smirnoff.

Asked about her stay in Ghana, Pokello said she was having a great experience since she was also spending quality time with Elikem.

"All that partying I'm doing here (Ghana) is not just partying, those are paid appearances," she said.

Pokello, who refused to disclose the amount of money she had made in Ghana, said there was more to the parties.

"We charge for all our appearances at clubs and currently we are raising funds for a two-year-old girl in Ghana who was born with a hole in her heart to enable her to undergo surgery in South Africa," she added.

The mother of one seems to have taken her relationship with Elikem further. She said she was ready to marry Elikem and was waiting for him to pay her bride price.

Besides partying, Pokello has signed endorsement deals which she said could not be disclosed until the commercials and billboards go up.

She has also met influential ministers in Ghana and top actors such as John Okafor, who is popularly known in entertainment circles as Mr Ibu. Pokello has also been marketing Elikem's designer clothes as she has been attending events clad in the designer outfits.

When Elikem came to Zimbabwe a few weeks ago, he spent most of his time travelling and attending a series of parties in Harare and Bulawayo. He barely had time to rest as he had to do a lot of travelling and appearances at different venues.

The two lovers used some of the proceeds they garnered from the appearances to give back to the community when they donated blankets and foodstuffs to Thembiso Children's Home in Bulawayo.

EXPOSED: How Policemen & A Popular Alhaji Are Extorting Money From Yahoo Boys In Lagos

Tuesday, September 10, 2013

I got this message from a Yahoo boy who said he was pushed into the trade by circumstances and because he doesn't want to go into armed robbery. He exposed a lot in the letter to us and disclosed how policemen are using the name of the Inspector General of Police to "deal" with them:

My name is Ibrahim Dipo, a final year student at the Leads City University, although I admit what I was doing with my friends was wrong but no other means of survival. I drive a Range Sport...

ON THE 15TH OF DECEMBER LAST YEAR 2012, SOME POLICE MEN AND EFCC OFFICIAL CAME TO MY HOUSE ALONG SIDE WITH THE POPULAR EX-CONVICT MAN NOW POLICE FAKE INFORMANT [Alhaji Rasaq Tunji Alaso] CALLED ALHAJI GAY.

HE WAS ARRESTED SO MANY TIMES BUT RELEASED BECAUSE HE USED TO SETTLE THE COMMISSIONER OF POLICE IN LAGOS AND IBADAN.

THEY CAME AT 7AM AND JUMPED INTO MY COMPOUND, THEY SHOWED ME A FAKE PETITION WHICH I THOUGHT WAS REAL WITH THE SIGNATURE OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE [IG MD ABUBAKAR]. THEY ARRESTED ME AND TOOK MY RANGE SPORT, WRIST WATCH, JEWELRIS WORTH 590K, $3900 IN CASH, LAPTOP, AND TOOK ME IN THE DANFO BUS TO AN UNKNOWN DESTINATION.

THEY TOOK ME TO AN EMPTY HOUSE IN IJEBU WHERE I SAW SOME OTHER BOYS TOO WHO WAS DETAINED THERE. THE ALHAJI GAY (PICTURE ABOVE) ASKED HOW MUCH I HAD IN MY BANK ACCOUNT, I HAVE IN TOTAL OF N3.2 MILLION NAIRA IN MY FIRST BANK ACCOUNT. HE WAS ORDERING THE FAKE EFCC AND POLICE MEN BECAUSE HE IS IN CHARGE. THE ALHAJI GAY TOLD ME TO GO AND WITHDRAW ALL AND WAS HOLDING ALL MY STUFFS AND ALSO THE FAKE EFCC MEN TOLD ME IF I NOTIFY ANYONE THEY WILL USE THE PETITION AGAINST ME.

OUT OF FEAR, I WENT TO THE BANK AND WITHDRAW THE MONEY FOR ALHAJI WITH 10,000 NAIRA BALANCE. HE ALSO COLLECTED MY ORIGINAL CAR PAPERS, HE RELEASED ME AND DIDN'T GIVE ME MY CAR BACK AFTER THEY COLLECTED ALL MY MONEY. I KEEP CALLING HIS PRIVATE LINE {08039111480} HE LATER TOLD ME MY CAR IS BEEN SOLD AND IF I WANT TO USE POWER THEN THE IG WILL RELEASE ANOTHER PETITION AND THE EFCC WILL ARREST ME AGAIN.

A MONTH'S AFTER I LOST MY MUM AND LIFE HAS BEEN ROUGH FOR ME, PLEASE THE IG OF POLICE CAN LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE OF ALHAJI GAY. WHY ARE FAKE POLICEMEN AND FAKE EFCC EXTORTING MONEY FROM YAHOO BOYS? IS REALLY SAD, THIS KIND OF FRUSTRATION CAN LEAD SOMEONE TO ARM ROBBERY.

IF TRULY IG OF POLICE IS AWARE OF THIS THEN THIS IS REALLY BAD. FEW DAYS AFTER, HE ARRESTED 5 OF MY FRIENDS TOO AT UNILAG AND TOOK ALL THERE CARS WITH SOME POLICE MEN FROM ALAGBON. THE TOTAL MONEY HE GOT FROM THEM WAS IN TOTAL OF 7 MILLION NAIRA AND 3 RANGE SPORT AND 2 LR3.

NOW HE IS CALLING ME AND LOOKING FOR MORE MONEY AFTER HE COLLECTED EVERYTHING I HAD.... THE POLICE MEN FROM ALAGBON WAS EVEN ARGUING WITH ALHAJI GAY THAT THE SHARE OF THE MONEY HE GAVE THEM WAS SMALL, WHAT A SHAME TO THE NIGERIAN POLICE AND EFCC !!!!

Please, the authorities should look into these allegations by Ibrahim Dipo and take appropriate actions.

OPC Man Mistakenly Kills Popular Alhaji While Praising Him With Gun Salute

Saturday, August 24, 2013

 
 The Lagos State Police Command have commenced investigations into the murder of a 72-year-old man, Alhaji Abdulkareem Kadiru, in the Ijora Badia area of Lagos.

According to police, the victim was killed in error by an Oodua Peoples Congress member, Ismaila Rahmon, who was in charge of security at a school where a Ramadan event took place. Rahman allegedly killed the Alhaji with a gun he seized from an armed robber but failed to turn it over to the police.
It was gathered that Alhaji Kadiru was a generous man and because of his nature, touts usually surrounded him and sang his praises so that he would give them money.

Punch learnt that on August 4, 2013, Rahmon and another OPC member, identified simply as Obasanjo, had gone to provide security for the victim and other dignitaries at the event.

Rahmon was said to have opened fire in a bid to disperse the touts. It was learnt that after the hoodlums fled, the suspect started hailing Kadiru, shouting Tuale!! (a local slang to show respect).

He allegedly shot into the air again to salute the Alhaji. The bullet, however, killed Kadiru in error.

The 30-year-old OPC man said, “I sell shirts at Oluwole and I am also a part-time Yoruba movie actor. I have starred in three films but I do not get paid because I am an apprentice. In order to make ends meet, I joined the OPC and I earn N12,000 a month.

“On the day Alhaji was killed, Obasanjo and I went to a secondary school in the area to provide security for influential personalities who came there for Ramadan benevolence programme where they donated items to members of the community.

“When Alhaji arrived, I escorted his vehicle into the compound and touts stormed the school in order to extort money from him. I had been told that area boys would come so I came to the school with a gun. When I attempted to disperse the hoodlums and they refused to go, I shot into the air. I also attempted to give Tuale (salute) to Alhaji with another gunshot because I wanted him to give me money. It was in the process that the bullet hit him in his head.”

The native of Kwara State said after Alhaji fell to the ground, area boys gathered and beat him up. The area boys would have lynched him if not for the timely intervention of policemen.

“The area boys beat me up and collected all the money on me which was about N20,000. They seized my phone, kicked me in the penis many times and inflicted wounds on my head. It was the police that saved me from death. The policemen that came arrested me and took me to their station,” he said.

When asked if he was licensed and trained to use a weapon, the suspect said, “I was trained by OPC to use weapons. But I have never used a gun publicly before the incident. The gun did not belong to me; it belonged to an armed robber that I arrested some months ago.”

The suspect, who claimed to be the breadwinner of his family, pleaded with the police to let him go as he did not kill the victim deliberately.
