Gist: Buffalo >> I Regret Ever Managing Tutulapato

Obuoba 91.7 Top 20 Count Down can authoritatively report in this week`s edition of its Entertainment Review hosted by Dj Levelsman that child celebrity Tutulapato is now residing in the village because his managers including Buffalo have left him painfully because of an untoward behavior from Tutulapato's mother. When entertainment enthusiasts have started jubilating over the glory, the young chap real name Cosmos Boako aka Tutulapato was enjoying after winning Tv3’s Talented Kids reality show last year, we never thought it was going to be short lived. Now the young man has been sent back to his Breman Asikuma village aimlessly and without hope of getting any quality education again after being enrolled at the Silicon International School at Teshie Nungua. In an interview with Dj Levelsman on Obuoba Fm 91.7 in the Eastern Region, Buffalo said, "Tutulapato's mother thinks I (Buffalo) am exploiting and making more money out of the small boy so she was always putting

pressure on me and I think she is being influenced by some people". Buffalo is not too happy about developments and has decided to stop managing Tutulapato. Unfortunately, ever since “Tutu” went to the village, he has not been happy because he says he does not want to stay there any

longer. At the moment, he is not schooling and just walking about aimlessly without any positive thing in his life. Buffalo, whose real name is Seth Dwamena, has admitted to Obuoba Top

20 Count Down that though it is true Tutulapto is in the village currently, he

has not stopped working with him entirely but there are some issues he has to settle with some people around him especially his mother because she seems to be the problem. Obuoba Top 20 Count Down Entertainment Review will try to get Tutulapato's mother Maame Mercy on board as the story unfolds.

News: Nigerian in Court for Fraudulently Transferring GHC250,000 From GCB.

A Nigerian who is alleged to be one of the criminals in the Ghana Commercial Bank (GCB) fraudulent money transfer has been arrested and remanded in police custody by the Accra Circuit Court. Tony Abogo, a businessman, is said to have fraudulently transferred GH¢250,000 from the vault of the GCB into the account of his girlfriend at the bank (GCB) and asked the girl to withdraw part of the money. He was charged with conspiracy to steal and stealing. He pleaded not guilty when he appeared before the court yesterday and is to reappear before the court, presided over by Mr Francis Obiri, on February 5, 2014.

Facts 

Presenting the facts of the case, the Prosecutor, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) A. Dery, said the complainant was the branch manager at the Ghana Commercial Bank Spintex Road, Accra while the accused was a Nigerian living at Lashibi near Tema. He said somewhere in December, 2013 the accused fraudulently transferred cash in the sum of GH¢250,000 into his girlfriend's account at the bank. He said on December 24, 2013 the accused asked the girlfriend to go to the bank (GCB) to withdraw GH¢2,000. DSP Derry said the girl was arrested at the bank when the officials realised that the transfer was fraudulent. He said the girlfriend then mentioned the name of Tony Abogo as the one who transferred the money into her account. The girlfriend then lured Tony, who had since been in hiding, to Lashibi Shell Filling Station where he was also arrested. The accused person mentioned someone only as Wale, alias FBI, as the person who gave him the account details at the bank. 

Background

The GCB has been faced with fraudulent wiring of huge sums of money from its vault into private accounts in recent times. About two weeks ago, a national service person who was alleged to be involved in the fraudulent wiring of huge sums of money from the GCB’s vault into some private accounts was arrested. It is neither yet clear how much money the syndicate succeeded in siphoning from the bank’s vault, nor for how long the crime went on, before the fraud was detected. The operation was allegedly coordinated with the connivance of the bank’s IT department. It has led to the freezing of five accounts belonging to two individuals and two different companies by the Economic and Organised Crimes Office (EOCO). The account bearers include Mr Akato Haizel (two separate accounts), Matilda Dankwa Adjoa, B J Net Company Ltd and Osuaka Ventures. A letter signed by the Executive Director of EOCO, dated December 27, 2013 and sent to the Managing Director of GCB at the Bank’s Head Office in Accra and copied to the Head of Banking Supervision at the Central Bank, ordered the immediate freezing of the five accounts. The letter said: “Please take notice that pursuant to the authority conferred on the Executive Director by section 33 of the Economic and Organised Crimes Office Act 2010 (act 804), the Executive Director of EOCO has directed the freezing of the bank account of [Akato Haizel, Matilda Dankwa Adjoa, B J Net Company ltd and Osuaka Ventures] with your branches pending investigations into various crimes.” “This order takes immediate effect. Until this order is revoked or elapsed, your bank shall not allow any transactions on the account without the written authority of the Executive Director.”

Gist: Students Stone VC as Riot Breaks in Lagos State University

Lagos State University students today went on the rampage disrupting the university’s second semester examination, destroying properties in the process and even stoning their University Vice Chancellor Prof. John Obafunwa as he made to escape their wrath.

Trouble started in the university when their VC decided not to open the registration portal for over
2,000 students who were yet to register their second semester courses as exams was to begin Thursday.

According to the students, only 708 were able to register before the portal was shut again leaving,
1292 students to their fate.

When the students union government went to plead on behalf of the students, the VC was reported as saying those yet to register are insignificant and would automatically have to carry the session over, a statement which infuriated the students and they decided to take laws into their hands.

They started a riot, destroyed properties in the school and threw sticks and stones at the Vice Chancellor’s convoy as he made to escape through an alternative route beside Conoil Filling station.
All these pictures are from what is happening at the scene right now.

Gist: Robber Attack, Forget Guns in Church!

The Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Lagos, has apprehended a six-man robbery gang which allegedly attacked a church, Christ Authority and Power Evangelical Ministry, in the Ijanikin area of the state during the church’s crossover service on January 1, 2014.

The suspects, Adewale Osoja, Bala Yahaya, Hasan Ado, Ahmed Boladele, Abiodun Olanrewaju and Abbey Edward, were said to have stolen the church’s offering and also robbed members of the congregation of their Ipads, phones, jewellery and other valuables.

PUNCH Metro learnt that although the robbery was successful, one of the robbers, Ado, who claimed to be 19-years-old, forgot his gun at the church and went back to the scene the following day to retrieve it. He was arrested by residents of the area.

Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, said Ado was arrested and transferred to SARS after which he named other members of his gang.
Braide said, “On January 2, 2014, one of the gang members went to the street to ask some area boys if they had seen any gun because his own had fallen during the robbery. The community was immediately alerted and he was apprehended.

“He was transferred to SARS and his confession led to the arrest of other gang members. One of the gang members (Edward), who is 45-years-old, confessed that he bought the gun for N7,000 in Cotonou, Benin Republic, and sold it N20,000.”

The suspects, most of whom confessed to be members of the Eiye Confraternity, said they took to robbery recently.
One of them, Osoja, who claimed to be 21-years-old, was said to have been arrested by the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad last year and remanded in prison but was later released.

Osoja, who was alleged to be the leader of the gang, said prior to robbing the church, the gang had also robbed some people at the Federal Gate Bus Stop, along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.

He said, “On December 31, 2013, we robbed some people around Federal Gate and snatched eight phones and money from them. Around midnight, we went to the church and stole offering of about N38, 000 and also robbed the members.
“I actually started robbing six months ago after being initiated into Eiye cult. I started by snatching phones at bus stops, but just recently, I started using guns.”

Another suspect, Olanrewaju, who claimed to be a member of the Odua People’s Congress, said he supplied the gang with ammunition, but maintained that he never followed them on any robbery operation.

A 45-year-old suspect, Edward, who hails from Cotonou in Benin Republic, also said he did not accompany the robbers to their operation.

He said he helped the gang to smuggle the guns into Nigeria
“I did not buy the guns for them. Olanrewaju told me that he had paid for the guns in Cotonou and gave me N7, 000 to help him transport each gun to Nigeria. I did not know they wanted to use the guns to rob,” he said.

Another suspect, Yahaya, who claimed to be 28-years-old, said this was his first robbery adding that it was poverty that pushed him to join the cult.

“During the robbery at the Federal Gate, I was given only four phones as my share, while the church robbery fetched me N4,000.”

Two double-barreled locally-made pistols, 50 live cartridges, military camouflage and 10 mobile phones were recovered from the suspects.
