The Police CID has arrested a 23 year old driver of Jimon Pharmaceuticals at Abelemkpe for attempted robbery and murder.
Briefing the press at the CID headquarters, the Director-General of the CID, COP Prosper Kwame Agblor said the suspect, Isaac Ofori who was employed as the Director’s personal driver engaged the services of someone (name withheld for security reasons), to recruit assassins to kill the Company’s director, Zheng Jinsong and steal an amount of GH¢700,000.
The robbery was to take place on March 1 2012 after Isaac had paid his recruits an amount of GH¢100, but they were arrested by the Police.
Isaac Ofori was arraigned before court on March 7 2012 and has since been remanded in prison custody.
In a related development, some employees and a Director of Onward Investment Ghana have also been arrested by the Police CID for operating a financial institution without license.
Authorities at the Bank of Ghana who reported the case to the CID explained that the Directors of Onward Investment applied for a Forex Bureau license but they were not granted the license.
COP Prosper Agblor said the company went ahead to operate as an investment company taking deposits from the public and paying an interest of 35 percent.
Among those arrested so far are the Operations Manager for the Kumasi branch of the company, Evans Nunoo, 28, the Accounts Manager for the Accra branch, Richard Samah, 28 and the contractor and Director of the company, Alexander James Mills, 40.
The rest are Hubert Attah Appiah, 21, a cleaner who was arrested when he was instructed to take an amount of $118,000 from Accra to Kumasi and Michael Bassey Etim, 39, the Company’s Forex Trainer and on-line trader.
The owners and some directors of company are however on the run.
They include three Nigerians, Okone Bassey, General Manager; Michael Johnson, Owner, Prince Nwuoma Essien, Senior Manager, and four other Ghanaians, Timothy Akwasi Ababio, Marketer; Mohammed Baba Saleh, Accountant; Simon Yaw Nyarko, a teacher and Lawrence Mensah, a businessman.
The CID is cautioning the public to be weary of fraudsters who promise attractive interests which is far beyond what legitimate banks can offer on savings.

Kim Kardashian And Her Sisters Humiliated And Abused By Their Men

The cover of the March 28 issue of In Touch Magazine features an expose of how Kim Kardashian and sisters Khloe and Kourtney have been humiliated by their men. Now that is a bit of a switch since the Kardashian sisters are usually portrayed as bossy bitches that rule the roost but apparently they suffer as well – not just their men.
We learn that Reggie Bush used Kim for kinky wild sex – he treated her like a $10 whore – but then told friends: “She’s disgusting!” Can you imagine – Kim Kardashian reduced to begging for sex and then being tossed like a cheap hooker?
Next comes Khloe – it seems that Lamar claims that she ruined his career. We all know that Lamar was demoted to the minor leagues last week after playing the worst basketball of his career. Lamar is so pissed off at Khloe that he refuses to have sex with her and is forcing her to get pregnant via IVF!
And what about Kourtney? Well Scott is so fed up with the constant fighting that he has moved out and gotten his own apartment! Scott has always been a bit of dog so perhaps Kourtney will be better off without the cheater?
In Touch features the blurb: Kardashian Sisters Humiliated By Their Men – Secretly reunited with low-key NFL star Reggie Bush — and even promising to give up her reality TV career to elope with him — Kim figured a ring was coming in no time. But clearly, Reggie didn’t share her feelings. As pregnant Kourtney struggles with weight gain, stress and morning sickness, baby daddy Scott Disick isn’t helping her one bit. Khloé used to think her husband, Lamar Odom, shared her dream of having a baby — but no more. Ever since Lamar was traded from the LA Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks — and temporarily demoted to the D-League — Lamar, 32, has blamed Khloé and her fame-seeking family.
Don’t forget to come back to CDL Friday when we will have all the juicy details of these outrageous revelations!

Police Arrested 11 Suspected LASU Student Who are a Member of Eiye Confraternity

The Lagos State Police Command Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, has arrested eleven cult members who claimed to be students of the Lagos State University, LASU.
They were nabbed at Ijanikin, a suburb of Lagos along Lagos/Badagry Expressway, Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria.
A police source told us that two members of Eiye Confraternity had hired a commercial motorcyclist (okada rider) to take them to Ijanikin where they shot a rival cultist, a member of Aiye Confraternity.
The okada rider, after the shooting, contacted SARS operatives who arrested the suspect’s accomplice identified as Wasiu.The cultist, who fired the shot managed to escape, but Wasiu led policemen to the hideout of the cultists at Ijanikin, where other cult members were arrested, the police source revealed.
According to the source, items recovered from the suspected cultists include three locally made cut to size rifles, one black bag, one locally made pistol, one live cartridge, four axes, one cutlass, one black beret and one phone.
Those arrested include Amos Acholo, 25, an indigene of Kogi State who claimed to be a businessman but a part-time student of LASU; Ojo Ola-Oluwa, 28, from Osun State, Olupooye Foluso, 27, claimed to be a student of Political Science at LASU, Haruna Olanrewaju, 28, from Kwara State said he is not a LASU student but joined the cult because he is jobless and Ismail Alli, 24, claimed he is a businessman from Sokoto State and he dropped out of school.
Others are: a 23-year old Malian, Jiba Abdulahi who said he is into business; Adeyinka Phillips, 25, claimed to be a Lagos State indigene and a student of Computer Science at Lagos State Polytechnic; Edeh Michael said he attended Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, Ijanikin while another suspect, Irikivewe Charles told the police he is still struggling for admission.
Another member of the cult group, Udemeobong from Cross River State, said he is a 200 level student at LASU. He confessed to the police that he was initiated into the cult last year when he visited his friend in Benin City, Edo State.
Police sources told us this morning that the suspected cultists will soon be arraigned in court on charges of attempted murder.
Meanwhile, the victim who was shot by the suspects is still lying critically ill in an undisclosed hospital. He was said to be having a swollen stomach perhaps caused by bullets lodged in his belly.
When we called the Public Relations Officer, of LASU students’ union, Teju Azeez, this morning, he disowned the suspects, saying “they are not LASU students.”
Army nabs uniform-selling corporal

A police corporal identified as Reuben Joel, attached to the anti-terrorism unit of the Nigeria Police Force in Aba, Abia State has been paraded by officers of the Nigeria Army for selling military uniforms.
Joel was arrested at a military checkpoint in Mubi with ten uniforms and ten pairs of military boots.
His accomplices, who were also arrested, confessed during interrogation that Joel supplied them with the military uniforms which were to be taken to Hong local government area, Adamawa state.
The military spokesman, lieutenant Victor Olukoya, expressed surprise that a serving corporal in Aba would be involved in illegal sale of military uniforms in Adamawa State.
He said the arrest has unravelled the mysteries behind attacks on police checkpoints and banks by men in military and police uniforms.
"It is obvious that these are the people attacking police checkpoints and banks with regalia of the military and police. It portends that we have desperate people willing to go to any extent to maim innocent lives," Olukoya said.
He appealed to Nigerians to assist the military in its effort to combat criminality by submitting themselves to checks at checkpoints.
Don Jazzy confirms MoHits split

We finally get to hear from the CEO of MoHits Records himself, Don Jazzy. On Saturday morning, Don Jazzy took to twitter and confirmed that some of the media reports that have been making the rounds about him and D'banj going their separate ways is true.
It will be recalled that Daily Times first reported news of their split about ten days ago but the D'banj camp had consistently denied it.
Don Jazzy started out by saying he's going through some changes in his life and the way forward is to make more beautiful music. He then went ahead to say he will be donating his proceeds from the old era to 5 different charity organisations.
"Who does that? Only a man with a kind heart. With or without D'banj, Don Jazzy will continue to be loved by all."
LYRICAL WARFARE : Reminisce Battles Vector



After what has looked like a passive feud time for Hip-Hop in Nigeria, things are heating up once again. No Thanks to rappers Vector and Reminisce.
Just two weeks ago, Remilekun ‘Reminisce’ Safaru and Olanrewaju ‘Vector’ Ogunmefun were at each other’s throats throwing verbal attacks back and forth.
The story goes that Vector had dropped a subliminal diss on Sauce Kid’s ‘Street Kitchen’ reacting to a previously released song by Reminisce titled ‘2 mushh’.
‘Eyin ata, ani Tomato, to ma to’ (You are pepper, we have tomato to cool down the pepper)’, Vector took jabs at Reminisce who had talked about his song being ‘hot like pepper’. In a swift response, Reminisce released ‘Ata (pepper)’ taking it a step further by sampling Vector’s subliminal and then going on to call out his name while dissing him back.
Vector responded on Twitter ‘I sow the truth, why would I reap lie? (Reply)’.
Discussions have popped up on Twitter and Facebook, as fans have begun drawing comparisons between both rappers; others are trying to figure out the genesis of the ‘beef’.
‘We have nothing to say’ Vector’s record label YSG told NET but sources close to the rapper say ‘Reminisce just wants to rub off Vector’s buzzing career’. We placed calls to Reminisce’s phone but he never picked up.
Vector has in the last year risen to fame after the release of his 2011 debut ‘State of Surprise’, a follow up single ‘Angeli’ with 9ice has further increased his commercial appeal.
Reminisce who is signed to Edge Records has also been having it good in recent times; His ‘Kako bi chicken’ single is receiving airplay and his debut ‘Book of Rap Stories’ is an anticipated record in the hip-hop world.
Both rappers performed live on stage at the recently concluded ‘Bashorun Gaa Versus’ concert but were never seen together. ‘The atmosphere wasn’t tense but it looked like they were both on guard’, a source backstage told 3m360
‘Fellyx And Mozzyx’ Star in Critical Condition, Loses Both Kidneys

A few weeks ago, we reported that Moses, one half of the popular 90′s music duo FELLYX & MOZZYX was critically ill after being diagnosed with chronic kidney failure and some other complications.
Sadly, his situation may have worsened as those cloese to him say his two kidneys have packed up, with the level of damage nearing its final stage.
Moses urgently needs a kidney transplant as undergoing dialysis has become very risky.
The ailing musician is however still hopeful; believing fervently that God has already healed him, according to those close to him. In some of his hospital pictures, his guitar is even seen close to his bed. We’re told he plays it once in a while.
Moses needs your support to stay alive. He is asking Nigerians, friends, colleagues and well-wishers to contribute to this cause financially, and in any other way.

Thai Taxi Driver Returns $410,000 in Gold to Owner

A Thai taxi driver Friday returned 8.2 kilograms (18 pounds) of gold ornaments worth around $410,000 to their owner who had left them in his car three days ago, police said.
Bangkok cabbie, Saksri Ketsrikaew, 56, said he spent two days driving around Bangkok searching for the owner because he had no contact number, reports AFP.
He said he contacted community radio after he learned gold shop owner, Eakerat Kanokwattana, 60, had filed a complaint with police and the story of the missing gold hit local headlines.
But police were not convinced he had a heart of gold.
"His excuse doesn't make sense if he intended to return the gold to its owner as he knew where they got off," case officer Lieutenant Colonel Udom Sukprasert told AFP.
"They are checking and counting the gold now."
Eakerat, who owns a gold shop in the city of Ubon Ratchathani, came to Bangkok with his wife to do a gold trade in Chinatown and got a taxi on Tuesday evening to the northern outskirts of Bangkok.
But he later realised he had left his bag full of gold ornaments in the taxi and offered a reward for their return.
Television news Friday showed a relieved Eakerat giving the taxi driver gold worth around $6,400 as his reward.
Panic in Lagos over Bomb in Ikeja

Commissioner of Police Lagos State Police Command Yakubu Alkali
There was panic in Lagos Friday evening over suspicion that an explosive had been planted in a building in the Ikeja area of the state.
The bomb was allegedly planted in Awolowo House on Obafemi Awolowo Road, Ikeja.
It is located close to the bridge in Ikeja.
The building was immediately evacuated, with the vicinity cordoned off. Pedestrians and motorists were told to make use of alternative routes.
But the spokesman of the Lagos State Police Command, Jaiyeola Joseph, said there was nothing to worry about.
Joseph said that the rumour started after a man dropped a carton around the building and left.
He said some people raised the alarm that it must be a bomb, hence the panic.
The Police Bomb Disposal Squad was immediately despatched to the scene.
Nothing deadly was found, Joseph told Eagle Online.
Lady Gaga Wants Husband And Bazillion Kids

Right now, she’s ridiculously busy being disgustingly famous and taking over the world with her sick tunes and outfits made of raw meat. But that’s not all she’s after in life. Lady Gaga wants a husband and a bazillion kids—but now just isn’t the time.
The Daily Mail has the highlights from her interview with Oprah Winfrey, where Gaga said, “Yes, I want kids, I want a soccer team and I want a husband.”
But don’t think she’s in any rush to put her amazing career on hold. “I want to experience that, [but] not yet,” she explained.
Settling down like that right now would drastically change everything about Gaga, and I think all of us can agree that with how successful she is, now isn’t the time to be putting her music career on hold (or giving it up all together) to start a family. I’m sure it’ll happen eventually, though!
Do you think Lady Gaga will make a good mommy?

George Clooney ,Father Arrested in Protest at Sudanese Embassy

Hollywood movie star George Clooney has been arrested at Sudan's embassy in Washington at a protest about the escalating emergency in Sudan.
The Sudanese government has been blocking humanitarian aid from reaching a volatile border region where hundreds of thousands of people are short of food.
Clooney, his father Nick and other activists ignored three police warnings to leave the embassy grounds and were led away in plastic handcuffs to a waiting van by uniformed members of the Secret Service, a journalist covering the demonstration said.
"We need humanitarian aid to be allowed into the Sudan before it becomes the worst humanitarian crisis in the world," Clooney told reporters just before his arrest.
"The second thing we are here to ask is for the government in Khartoum to stop randomly killing its own innocent men, women and children. Stop raping them and stop starving them. That's all we ask."
Clooney, who on Wednesday was a guest at the White House banquet in honour of British prime minister David Cameron, posted bail with several others and walked free later on Friday.
"You never know if you are accomplishing anything ... We hope it helps," Clooney told reporters after his release, adding that the arrest was his first and "let's hope it's my last".
Activists have drawn parallels between the current crisis in Sudan's Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile provinces with the violence almost a decade ago in the western region of Darfur, where Khartoum sparked international condemnation by violently suppressing a rebellion in a conflict that the United Nations estimates killed some 300,000 people.
The United States has voiced serious concerns about the deteriorating conditions in the border region, where Sudanese troops are fighting rebels aligned with its newly independent neighbour South Sudan.
Clooney, who recently visited the area, told a Senate hearing this week that Sudan's forces were launching repeated attacks on unarmed civilians and preventing aid from reaching a region where US officials say as many as 250,000 people face severe food shortages.
Clooney, a long-time celebrity activist critical of the Khartoum government, had been expected to provoke police into arresting him.
Protest organisers said that others arrested on Friday included several US congressmen, the son of slain US civil rights hero Martin Luther King Jr, and veteran human rights campaigner John Prendergast, the co-founder of the Enough Project.
