This has to do with certain financial houses that have been serially mentioned as being the custodians of Evans’ huge cash deposits with them. Chief of these banks is allegedly Guaranty Trust Bank Plc. In the wake of this revelation by the kidnap kingpin, several bank managers are already afflicted by fear and indescribable dread of what grief may come in the wake of their liaisons with the billionaire kidnapper over their dirty deals with the bank executives. It therefore stands to reason that, if the truth must be told and the Central Bank of Nigeria are also culpable here, then the arrest of Evans is not enough to put an end to the hydra-headed monster, kidnapping. At least the source(s) of any depositor’s money are statutorily to br investigated and scrutinized before such are kept safe for the depositor. So, did GTB do the needful before all of Evans’ money was stashed into their vault, without necessarily querying the source of his money? The only probable defense for GTB is now left in the imagination of many, who will rather see the whole scenario. An investigation proper into the ugly situation will ascertain whether the bank followed the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) reporting guidelines in filling reports, observed Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and followed Know Your Customer (KYC) directives of the CBN on account opening. But no sooner than the CBN promised to probe them than some banks engaged in a fierce hustle to prevent their names from getting published, GTB inclusive. Interestingly, most of the sites on-line that have published damaging reports on the bank’s culpability in Evans’ misdemeanour, have been surreptitiously mopped out from public consumption. And this is where the onus lies on GTB to come out in a brazen manner and defend itself; otherwise they will remain guilty as charged with Evans. Of course, one couldn’t have forgotten so soon when Evans’ wife, Precious mentioned GTB’s name that officials of the bank regularly come to their house in Magodo to see her husband for business transactions.

Online cams: Bakare, Alimi steal $750K, N120m from BA, KLM, Turkish Airlines
The sentences were summarily handed over by Ikeja Special Offences Court.
The convicts were arraigned on Wednesday by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for hacking into the electronic mails of the airlines and stealing the sums.
Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo convicted and jailed the duo after they entered into a plea bargain agreement with the EFCC.
They pleaded guilty to the seven-count charge filed against them.
According to the EFCC, the stolen funds were laundered by the duo through First Bank of Nigeria, Sterling Bank and Polaris Bank.
Before their conviction, EFCC counsel, Mr Idris Mohammed, told the court that the offences contravened Sections 411 and 328(1) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015, and punishable under Section 328 of the law.
While reviewing the facts of the case, the counsel said that the anti-graft agency had on Sept. 2, 2020, received intelligence about suspicious transactions and money laundering.
He said that it led to an investigation by the Advance Fee Fraud Section of the commission.
Mohammed said that the investigation led to the arrest of one Kehinde Adelakun, who was convicted by the court in October 2020.
The prosecutor told the court that Sikiru’s name and his company, Alvine First Resources Ventures, came up during investigation of Adelakun.
He said that Sikiru operated corporate accounts with First Bank and Sterling Bank.
“Upon analysis of the two accounts belonging to the second defendant, several inflows were discovered from different companies between March and July 2020.

Nigeria Police Grill Music Star D’Banj Over Rape Allegation In FCID, Abuja
It was learnt that D’Banj was grilled by an Assistant Commissioner of Police, Adaku Anya, at the Force Criminal Investigation Department, Garki, Abuja.
A statement was also taken from the Kokomaster who insisted that he never raped his accuser, Seyitan Babatayo.
A top police source said, “D’Banj has been questioned twice at the FCID, Abuja. He was questioned last week and also this week. We will leave no stone unturned as we investigate the matter.”
It was learnt that Seyitan was also invited to write a statement but she stated that she had no means of traveling to Abuja and opted to visit a police unit in Lagos.
“Seyitan appealed with us that she had no means of traveling down to Abuja. So, she has been given the option of reporting at the FCID Annex, Alagbon, Ikoyi,” the officer said.
It was reported last week that the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, had ordered an investigation into the allegations leveled against D’Banj.
The IG had referred the case to a Deputy Inspector-General of Police to handle.
Seyitan’s friend, Benjamin Ese, in a Twitter thread in early June, had told the story of how D’Banj allegedly raped Seyitan at Glee Hotel, Lagos two years ago – in December 2018.
She said it happened at an all-white party where D’Banj allegedly offered her friend some money to spend the night which she rejected until he surprisingly showed up in Seyitan’s hotel room around 2 at the midnight.
“D’Banj drove all the way from Eko hotel where he was lodged and came down to glee hotel in Victoria Island at midnight 2.40 am and collected the spare key from the receptionist,” Ese said in the thread which has since sparked an outrage.
She said D’Banj allegedly “got into my friend’s room and forcefully threatened he would walk her out of the room naked, kept his fingers in her Vagina, and repeatedly raped her.”
The rape experience, Ese said had caused Seyitan some trauma since the incident happened.
Weeks after Ese’s tweets, Seyitan came out publicly to present herself as the lady who was allegedly raped by D’Banj in December 2018.
The musician, however, denied the allegations leveled against him and asked his accuser to make a public apology and also pay him the sum of N100m in damages.
On Wednesday, Seyitan narrated how D’Banj allegedly got her arrested and deleted all her social media posts.
She said the musician asked her to tell Nigerians that the allegations were a mere publicity stunt.
Seyitan, however, said she rejected all of D’Banj’s advances.

Well, this didn’t go down well with Hushpuppi as he clearly caught the sub. He replied below…
“As I grow older, I have been working on my self a lot mostly when it comes to social media matters that will concern people I have once sat down n shared food from the same plate, shared our problems with each other, laugh and drink to our wins together and most importantly kept secrets with each other. I always try to avoid being the one without any sense in the head without single maturity, I always stay away from coming here to throw shades or air things out through this platform when I have options of cursing or fighting u in real life or just squash whatever it is between us or involve people who are close to us to work things out. But I see there’s a big fool in you that has pushed you to foolishness and I will take my first post easy before I rip you apart in my next other once if u ever make more efforts to be more foolish. My fat foolish brother, before u come to social media and throw shade and call someone broke Instagram Billionaire, did u think of it well? Did u remind yourself this is the same person that just recently borrowed you 20million naira in CASH when all your friends turned you down and wanted to see you shamed? Did u know u haven’t even paid the whole money back to this broke person who stood by you as a true friend, gave you 20 million without collateral or even interest or agreement, did you remind yourself this is the same person u want to be like that you brought carpenters to tear down your staircase to put wood to be like the background he takes his photos in his malaysia house? How many of the people laughing at your foolishness in your comment section was there for you? Tell me, but you want to be a bitch nigga and run your mouth. As u are quick to tell the world bad about me, be quick to tell them the good about me too, don’t hide the good side of me, tell the world too. Is it by force to do friendship? I block u all now y’all ganging up to be foolish . Ordinary instagram verification hurting y’all life, is that what you stand for? U can go ur way in peace u know? Leave me out of your life. We are grown and have families, let’s be matured and live in peace. If u come look say ur mouth sharp, try me and reply then u will know”
Classic Baggie then replied his above post saying he took advantage of Hushpuppi’s foolishness, collected the N20m he gave him and invested it.
