Famous Nigerian actress Nkiru Sylvania. has been relieved from her job at the cabinet of Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State.
She served as the Special
Assistant on Lagos Affairs for the
Imo State Government. She was
sacked following a cabinet
dissolution which affected all commissioners, special advisers, senior special assistants and special assistants in the cabinet.
A statement from the government of the state explains that the 'the dissolution was necessary to give room for more capable hands into the system in order to fully actualize the rescue mission agenda of the State Government.'
A lot of eyebrows were raised when Okorocha appointed the Abia State-born 'Final Tussle' star as Special Assistant on Lagos Matters in
July 2011.
The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) has on July 19, 2013 arrested Dr. Princewell Arinze Chukwueze, an alleged serial fraudster, over a $92,000
(14,836,726 NGN) scam.
Chukwueze was
arrested in Abuja by operatives of the EFCC following a two month frantic manhunt for him.
His arrest followed an allegation of fraudulent transactions involving him and a notable Bureau de change operator in Lagos on May
10, 2013.
Specifically, Chukwueze fraudulently introduced himself as Aboki J. Brown, a Director of African Development Bank based in
Cote D'Ívoire to the Bureau de change operator at Sura Shopping Complex, Sandgrouse, Lagos.
He initially offered to buy $65,000
(10,482,469 NGN) from him but later increased it to $92,000 (14,836,726 NGN).
To pay the naira equivalent of the dollars, he requested the operator to meet him at a branch of Wema Bank Plc in Lekki, Lagos.
When the operator got to the bank with the dollars, Chukwueze fraudulently changed the
bank where he intended to offer him the naira equivalent of the foreign currency and pleaded
with the operator to accompany him in his siren-blaring Toyota Hilux Pick-Up Van to a 'nearby branch of Zenith Bank Plc'.
En route to the bank, Chukwueze picked up two armed men on the road who forcefully dispossessed the operator of the $92,000.
Chukwueze was arrested in Abuja while he was employing the same antics to defraud another
bureau de change operator of $110,000 (17,739,563.60 NGN).
He was also alleged to have defrauded several bureau de change operators in Lagos and Abuja. using different gimmicks. One of his victims, a. lady who would not want to be named, said
Chukwueze duped her firm of $110,000. The suspect is also implicated in some other cases
being investigated by the EFCC.
Items recovered from him included 21 different telephone handsets, complimentary cards of African Development Bank bearing
Aboki J. Brown, fake $15,000 (2,419,031 NGN) ; different cheque books of different banks among others.
Chukwueze will soon be charged to court.
