Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 28-year-old woman, Anita Ekechukwu, her brother, Sunday Ekechukwu and three others; Benedict Nwadike, Emmanuel Ochi, also known as General and George Emmanuel, aka Force Man for armed robbery.
The suspects were arrested while robbing bureau de change operators of millions of Nairas. Narrating how the suspects operated, a source at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad said:
Anita Ekechukwu would pose as a customer and convince the bureau de change operator to enter a vehicle with her only to rob him.
“Anita would go to a bank and say she wanted to buy foreign currency knowing well that banks do not sell foreign currency to just anyone. The bankers would introduce her to a bureau de change operator and they would establish contact. Later, she will call them for a huge transaction in a vehicle.
“When the victim enters the vehicle, her colleagues would come in another vehicle, abduct the victim, rob him of his money at gunpoint and then throw him out of the vehicle.”
Anita, her brother and others were arrested while trying to rob one Sanusi of $80,000 (N12.8m).
The police source said the robbers operated around a bank in Lekki and had boarded their vehicle when policemen intercepted them.
The present catch of Stella Damasus who now houses Stella in his house in Abuja, Daniel Ademinokan, the estranged husband of Doris Simeon has just disclosed that Ghana films are much better than what Nigerians produce.
He made this known in an interview recently where he said that ‘’I won’t lie to you. If you go to the US now, most of the films people watch are from Ghana.
The Ghanaians spend money on their films and the filmmakers know exactly what they are doing and their environment is more conducive for the job. Who are the directors in Ghana? They are Nigerians: Paschal Amanfo and Frank Jaja. These guys were here, but were not doing it well.
They went to Ghana and, because the environment there is more conducive, they are making it. Though they still have crappy films over there too, their films are generally better than what we have in Nigeria.’’
This revelation, according to some authority in Nigeria, has not gone down well on them as they see it as a slam on Nollywood, the giant of Africa.
