Okonkwo, who is the brother to musician, Kingsley Okonkwo aka K-Cee, was said to have drawn the ire of the police boss for using policemen like domestic servants.
It learnt that An order, was immediately issued to the Lagos State Police Command to withdraw the six policemen attached to E-Money.
A top police officer said, “We received a signal from the Force headquarters on Monday that the police detail of music executive, E-Money, be immediately withdrawn and an investigation into the man be launched.
“The IG was surprised that policemen were attached to him in the first place and were being used like domestic servants, carrying umbrellas, opening doors, and doing menial jobs for him.
“The policemen were discovered to be attached to B Operations at the command headquarters and not MOPOL which is the usual practice. So, we have withdrawn his policemen and we are inviting him for questioning. The policemen will also be interrogated.”
E-Money, who also claims to be a clearing and forwarding agent, is known for his flamboyant lifestyle.
He boasts of two Rolls Royce, two Mercedes Benz G Wagons and other Sports Utility Vehicles worth billions of naira.
The socialite is often seen on social media shaking hands with Very Important Persons including governors, senators, monarchs, ministers, and other top government officials.
The probe into E-Money comes less than a year after that of an Instagram celebrity, Ismaila Mustapha aka Mompha, who was also known to show off his ostentatious lifestyle on social media.
Sources told The PUNCH that more social media celebs are also on the radar of the police and other law enforcement agencies.
From The PUNCH
Village people!!!....I saw this coming after he put his village house on the social media and showed he constructed road!!!
Okay, we are here
ReplyDeleteYes I agree dey shod probe him but dey should start with the NORTHERNERS first n leave igbo people!
DeletePs: I'm not igbo but d amount of hate northerners hav for d igbos is enof to tear this country apart!
Good job. Have nothing against someone being a nuisance or superficial but they make serious hardworking people look like a fool not doing something right, Majority of these new money people acquired there so called money in a very shady way allegedly. I have never seen a genuinely rich people or rich old money people being that ostentatious
DeleteIs emoney hardworking? It may be yahoo plus or money ritual
DeleteE-money is not the only wealthy person in Nigeria using police escort,if they are going to probe,let them probe others too,not just make one a scapegoat,lots of people in Nigeria with questionable wealth,especially these young men and women in town now,probe them all and Naija politicians too are thieves stealing the country money,probe them all,not the one that one hungry man will steal chicken and they will throw tyre on his neck and burn him or send him to 20yrs imprisonment instead of feeding him rehabilitate or empower him.Don't make the law for some and let others get away scot free***Adequate security is very important,Naija government should work on this,we don't feel secure in Nigeria,reason why we use Mopol escort.
DeleteAlmost everybody is now commenting in anon mode...nawah!
DeleteNow this is the difference between e money and the others whom you say also use mobile police ...THey are not on SM if he wasn't flaunting it treat me no one will look for him ...na who demand catch be thief as nigerians say ..
DeleteYou guys should know is not about him showing off,why must a police man open your car door, carry your briefcase ,the if should withdraw all policemen attach to anyone period.
DeleteSdk in Germany have you ever see a police man or woman doing such?
In the us have you seen policemen guarding jazzy?
IG of Police go and probe your people in the North. Leave us to show off if your people no wan show off.
DeleteStella don't b deceived they r after Tinubu, him and jagaban dey run things. Cabal don change remb
DeleteThese are not comments but beefing,kilode？
DeleteMany blokes are under investigation with many losing securiry details not only Emoney,the last 2weeks has been hot,now that Abba Kyari is dead, Emeka's good friend,the Custom Boss is also under fire.
And please he has genuine biz, to move a 40feet container from Apapa to Alaba International is around N950k or thereabout,he moves plenty,in a month,go make money and stop whining,he has high profile connections but do I support his extremes？ NO.
A lot of people especially politicians launder money while hiding under the pretence of business men.
DeleteYes, he flaunts himself online but what about Dino Melaye and others who live the life of show offs? Our celebrities nko??? How much do they make per movie or show??
E-Money may be laundering money as well but I can attest to him having many chains of legit businesses.
He's not just a clearing agent like many have been saying but owns a VESSEL. That alone is a lot of money.
I do hope he learns his lessons and live life on the lowkey after his probe.
But truth is life will be so boring if we all decide to live a certain way.
If they now ask him to prove the source of his flamboyant lifestyle now he’ll turn to stammerer
ReplyDeleteHow on Earth ,he will turn to stammerer, If that is what you do when interrogates, sorry everybody is not like you.
DeleteGood job. Have nothing against someone being a nuisance or superficial but they make serious hardworking people look like a fool not doing something right, Majority of these new money people acquired there so called money in a very shady way allegedly. I have never seen a genuinely rich people or rich old money people being that ostentatious
Delete12:57 what do you wrote?🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆
Delete😂😂😂😂😂😂
Egungun Dn enter express... motor go soon jam am
ReplyDeleteHe dey your trap before? 🙄
DeleteIt is a gen gen something
ReplyDeleteNawao. He was flaunting a lot of things, what do you expect?
DeleteWhat type of job does he do?
ReplyDeleteClearing and forwarding agent
Delete@I saw this coming after he put his village house on the social media and showed he constructed road!!!
ReplyDeleteI doubt it’s got anything to do with those things. Is he the first Igbo man to build a mansion and construct a road in his village. No biggie.
Thank you for that, we have Igbo men that has built tripple of that e money house. So Stella no it is not because of the house and road. The police said it is because of the escort so let's see how it will turn out.
DeleteThey just like attacking rich Igbo men. That's how they went after the owner of Air Peace. Tinubu is there, they should go after him
DeleteDid Emoney dupe anyone ? Is it not if someone files a case of Fraud against someone that you call in the accused for questioning and interrogation.
Deletepls there is no case here pls.
Anon don't make this about tribe pls, Mompha that EFCC arrested isn't ibo.
They will use all Tinubus boys to build a case
Deletewow this would be interesting to see how it all plays out in the end, nor be the same Nigeria we dey? or anything new don change when we nor dey aware of?🤔
ReplyDeleteAbout time. He is free to flaunt his wealth, let him use same energy to explain the source. These people with no source of income encourages small boys and girls to join yahoo. An old man I know was scammed of 250K yesterday, in these corona times. All of them should be interrogated
ReplyDeleteAnd you think something positive is gonna come out of it? You are jonzing,The law is made for the poor!!!
Deleteindeed, the law is made for the poor
DeleteI have always said that I do not know what Emeka Okonkwo does for a (fancy) living.
ReplyDeleteBut why is the police IG not "probing politicians, past and present who display looted
wealth more that these?"
Or is it that e-money hasn't moved "Ghana must gos to settle" like those ones do?
Why is IG suddenly jumping on efcc's turft to play games?
I smell a "fish pond" 😏😏😏😏
Of course, there's a rat among those his guards
DeleteMy sentiments too
DeleteProbing shouldn't be for a selected people.
In the news someone mentioned his name for a crime. And he has to be questioned.
DeleteNigeria, if you no get money hide your face, if you get money, hide your face?
ReplyDeleteE don happen. Where are the "how did he make his money?"
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm,na wa...o is he the only one living flamboyantly ????
ReplyDeleteThe police are starving!!!!
ReplyDeletePolice are not starving o
DeleteThey are making bastard money from road blocks settlement
Osalu okuu 🔥🔥🔥!!
ReplyDeleteI pray he comes out this.
USA security should also probe the income of Kyle Kardiashian.
ReplyDeletepoverty is a bastard.
Igbo start early to chase money and when they are ahead of their mates ,it leaves tongue wagging.
If not my father introduced my brothers to business, and I know how they struggle to be where they are today ,people for don talk tire.
Security company is different from Police
DeleteExactly o. It is a crime in Nigeria for an Igbo man to be rich.
DeleteTrue talk. Many of those saying "good job" to the police are not talking because they don't trust the source of his wealth but out of ENVY. They've been looking forward to the day they can mock him, his wife, his brother and other close family members.
DeleteThat being said, hope this is not a case of witch hunting
Not a good comparison.
DeleteKyle Kardashian has a legitimate source of income. Emoney does not.
Repeat after me "kylie Jenner".
DeleteNo! You got it all wrong. In the news a young man implicated him. And they have to probe him.
Delete@Cushy, it's not him but another person that bears same name
DeleteIt's E-money police IG enviously want to probe?😁 He should be ready to probe most politicians o.
ReplyDeleteBut wait o,why are they probing his wealth? Biko you people should educate me. Does it mean that if he presents a business they sit and start calculate the business income,expenditure, profit etc.?
This country sef!
Yes it's called audit. Businesses are often audited in the USA but it's done by the IRS which is the govt agency responsible for taxes. When they come for you eh, they will calculate every single cent to the last cent. If thing's don't add up, you go to jail. Even Trump was audited during his campaign. I'm sure they should have it in Nigeria but it may be corrupt and no transparency.
DeleteThank you NiB
DeleteWow.
DeleteThanks a lot.
So in other words the police hijacked another ministry's job?
Biko no vex,I just want to know if the police have the right to probe.
Well, I believe the police have the right to invite any civilian for questioning and to arrest the individual if they have some evidence and warrant of arrest. The judge can then send the case to the IRS to audit the individual and add to the evidence against him.
DeleteAlso normal people are free to send 'anonymous tips' to both the police and IRS if they suspect any fraudulent activity eg if your neighbor is living above his means..or your boss is evading taxes etc. The suspected individual though has the right to a tax attorney to represent him in court or in all the audit sessions. That's why most large companies have a team of lawyers.
NiB, Nigeria auditing system is corrupt. A lot of financial atrocities that goes on underground will surprise you. Both state IRS and FIRS are guilty of this. All you need to do is package your brown envelope very well, let it be heavy and you're good to go. We have a loooonnnnnnggggg way to go in Nigeria.
DeleteWow!!! Thank you so much NiB
DeleteOh! Now I know.
DeleteThank you!
He fronts his money thats why the are probing him.
DeleteThis guy source of money is suspicious.
ReplyDeleteThis is the type of escort work police will like to do. Hold umbrella,open door and menial job and they will be so meek doing it but when it comes to their official duties they will remember to open eye and harrass people
ReplyDeleteIf he can give in details the source of his wealth, he has nothing to worry about!
ReplyDeleteStella, he is not the first Igbo man to build such a mansion and fix the roads in his hometown.
Numerous Igbo men have been doing that and no "village people" attacked them.
I thought those his guards were mopol
NPF knows the source of his wealth.
DeleteLet's watch the drama unfold
ReplyDeleteHnmmm
ReplyDeleteNdi osu imi!!..
ReplyDeleteNdi oso chi egbu!!!...
They want to bring Emoney down hahaha I laugh🤣🤣🤣..
They didnt ask well?
Nothing will come out of this..
Highest,they will withdraw 3 mopol from his security and nothing more!..
Nwanne nothing megaa!
DeleteOga eje ma natakwa n'udo!!
Ndi obi ojoo!!!
Insult to the police acedemy.
ReplyDeleteA civilian using them anyhow.
I wouldn't refer to that as an insult after all these policemen have no form of self worth they'll serve you as long as you give them money.
DeleteE-money was probably giving those policemen money and I'm sure this withdrawal from his service saddens them.
O..k..ooh
ReplyDeleteLet's see what will come out of the interrogation.😏😏
I don't support money from illegitimate means but the police should say the truth. Who has E-money offended that they are now witch hunting him?
ReplyDeleteBecause he has not drop his own billions of naira in the covid 19 fund raise!
DeleteOnyenchi govt.
Lmao 😂😂😂😂😂 bitter comments.
ReplyDeleteSome of you have been praying for a day like this to happen, SMH.
Pray to God to uplift you.
If he comes here to announce giveaway, some of you will fall on your knees and beg. Mtcheeeeeew.
The police should have a proper orientation on what their jobs should be in the first place.
ReplyDeleteWell I don’t think the police escorts are complaining carrying e-money umbrella or bags.
My sister working at apapa port told me that this guy clears a whole vessel of tramadol.do you Know what that means?you guys should figure it out yourselves.
ReplyDeleteYour sister should have reported to the appropriate authority instead of gossiping
DeleteOMG!! You don't mean it.
DeleteIs it not the appropriate authorities clearing the vessels in the first place, or is it market women and mechanics that are clearing the vessels.
DeleteAnonymous 14:42 you is a savage😂😂😂😂😂
Delete"Trama..WHAT🥺😳😳😳😱😱
DeleteShit! No nah.
DeleteWhen did it become a crime to import medications?????
DeletePls do your findings right!!
Yes i believe it.
DeleteWhy won't they hold umbrella, open door when they are treated well.
ReplyDeleteI wonder. Someone is supporting NPF and there are still not happy. E-money abeg come and hire me please ooo
DeleteI don’t blame the police officers attached to him . Where dey work and shop. They die there.
DeleteHahaha..whatever na dem know.
ReplyDeleteMy uncle BANEX (my father's younger brother) is very wealthy, uses police escorts, has a mansion in the village and built a road, there are others that are wealthier than him and have built road as well, in fact all the roads in my village ORAUKWU is well tarred courtesy of wealthy men that also use escorts.
ReplyDeleteThey are just putting their head were it won't yield anything...make them go ask
Emoney's money is pure, I when he started with Juliet, I know when Kcee start his music with KCpresh, he used to give my Cousins and I free tickets then. Let's see how it goes.
If Emoneys money is pure then he has nothing to worry about because he will be able to prove his source of income. Your uncle and those men you talked about do they display their wealth on SM and have different people constantly questioning what job they do and how they make their money?
DeleteOne anonymous up there just mentioned Emoney clear a vessel of tramadol, you and I know what it means. How pure is that money?
DeleteHe can flaunt his money the way he likes m, before he started flaunting it, you should have known he has nothing to fear, so run along and get busy.
DeleteHis money is legit ba? Did you read the comment 👆 up there?
DeleteQuote me: its not pure. Drug money!
DeleteNothing concern me.
ReplyDeleteI'm not interested in how a man made his money.
Then you have no right demanding for accountability from our politicians after all according to you they are making their money and you don’t concern yourself with how a man makes his money. Nawa oh
DeleteSenseless comment
DeleteWhen did e money come a politician ?
Get sense abeg
I nukwa police are now doing 'boy boy'. Thunder fire poverty.
ReplyDeleteWork for money and money will serve you.
#legit
Bv madam so so gra gra
He is a money ritualist and 419er
ReplyDeletePoint Blank
Its never hard ro tell
They all have the same spending habits and like to flaunt their ill acquired cash
Finally the dead give away THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME INTERIOR DECOR TASTE
Money ritualist is E Money. Gbam
Genuine people who WORK HARD FOR THEIR MONEY never have the lifestyle he has a d flaunt like a BUSH MAN
AM SURE THE BUSH PEOPLE ON THIS PLATFORM WILL DISAGREE WITH ME BIT I DON'T CARE FOR OYALL GULLIBLE FOOLS. I SAID WHAT i SAID SO DEAL WITH IT.
Are you a learner that till date you cannot differentiate between a real rich person who earn money the right way vs one who has ill gotten wealth. Gullible Fools
I think you're the big fool, go and make money and stop being bitter.
DeleteChoke on ur bile.
DeleteHe is not a ritualist or whatever shit u typed.
No not a ritual money. I think it’s drugs
DeleteAMAKA, ife nkea afugbuo gi.
DeleteOginizi?
Ina enwetachakwa onwe gi?
Do you have any other business with E-money?
Must you be abusive to pass your message? Pls lick some sugar
DeleteEmoney is blessed..some people make legit money please...nothing will come out of this..except one or two of his police escorts ratted him out for reasons best known to him.
ReplyDeleteIf this is how police want to do it.....they should arrest Regina Daniel too with that video that was trending the other day that shows a policewoman fanning her. Police officers are not your maids or any of your domestic servants
ReplyDeleteIt's well with E money
ReplyDeletePlease they should leave him alone
ReplyDeleteIt is very wrong for VIPs to use their police escorts as domestic servants. I was pissed off seeing the picture of a policewoman fanning Regina Daniels few weeks ago. As for the probe of Emoney's source of income, he has nothing to fear if it's legit.
ReplyDeleteOnce an Igbo man shows off his wealth like this. Watch him. He may not be genuine. I have always suspected him. Drug money.
ReplyDeleteBut why now. It's always like that in this part of the country
ReplyDelete#focus
You all should leave Igbos out of your mouth abeg and go hutzle.Emoney is legit 'do your research well .
ReplyDeleteSo what about the police woman that was fanning Regina Daniels in a video?? withdraw Ned Nwoko's escorts too, rubbish
ReplyDeleteExactly my sentiments in my always anonymous post below. Why should naija taxpayers be at the beck and call of the 7 wives plus oga? Why should a senator and his family and cronies have police stations at home while your police station has only 4 policemen and a rickety pick-up and risk their lives to rescue you? And why should they? They probably lobby to get posted to these folks homes!
DeleteThe police chief may have opened a can of worms as some of us have friends who are regular folks with police escorts in their G wagons to impress not realizing they actually seem pathetic when we discuss the country as they are part of the problem!
You may say they are not regular folks but a well paid professional receives offers in the mail weekly to buy Porsche, BMW and Mercedes here, so owning it is no big deal as there are some neighbors with 2 Mercedes G wagon plus 2 cayenne! Some homes with 3 car garages will still have 3 cars in the driveway. It’s NOT a big deal after getting to a point in your professional career, of course not in all areas! However it’s not most people’s priority! The point is there needs to be mobility in the society and owning a cop is not part of their “dubious success”! How come it’s the affluent that are on welfare in Nigeria and the poor are suffering? It’s the opposite everywhere else! Government house is theirs,their car is from Goverment! That is welfare and it’s upside down!
Stop adoring and idolizing their wealth and they will stop stealing to get it. For those who will say you pay car note overseas , yes, if owning a G wagon is your priority, you put 30% down and they see your income, they happily give you because they know you can pay the rest monthly till it’s paid off. That is how an equitable society gets assets to all its people not one where an apartment in a place with no good roads and infrastructure is priced higher than an upper Manhattan penthouse! For real? It’s obvious they don’t work for the money to buy it!
The total number of luxury cars in the entire Nigeria is not up to what you have in a small city like Charlotte North Carolina and it’s subs don’t even mention LA & it’s subs or Chicago and it’s suburbs where every affluent sub has a massive luxury car dealership. Google the price of Range Rover Evoque that they use to pose! It’s one of the cheapest luxury cars second hand! People here drop it after a year or 2 because it’s not well made and spoils quickly thereby increasing the cost of ownership vs other luxury brands!
Yeyebrities will pose beside it and use it for 6 months hoping sugar dad will help buy the spare parts!
Wake up young Nigerians, some were defending Prof Gambari’s appointment! Are you kidding me! He was a minister while I was in high school! I’m over fifty! Why pick a 75 year old goverment jobber? He lives off government as an oligarch and used it as a platform for everything on his resume yet at 75 some of you here may do a much better job. Many were defending it not realizing they are wasting 3 generations with geriatric appointments if a generation is 20 to 25 years. The boomers, Gen X, Millenials, and Gen Z especially the last 2 are all being relegated to runs and yahoo while not creating a society where their talents can be put to use!
How many degrees did Rahm Emmanuel get to be Obama’s White House chief of staff in a well run drama free White House? I pray for naija!
Ok, folks should pause and cool down! Nothing will come out of this, not that I don’t want anything to come out if there is but nothing will come out. It’s not against any ethnic group. It is a NATIONAL SHAME for one individual (He isn’t the only one) to have 6, as in SIX COPS assigned to him! Cops are paid by taxpayers. Entrepreneurs on this blog, set up private security companies! That is what JayZ, Beyoncé, even Trump before he held public office use! It’s a booming business as wives hire them as investigators and folks use them as non uniform wearing but armed security men! There was even a picture of a cop carrying madam’s purse.
ReplyDeleteNo abuse but I’m ashamed of boomers, millenials and Gen Z on this blog DEFENDING any sort of probe on the basis of tribe or tongue or anything. If Nigeria is going to become better we have to forget this tribe thing. I’m not i I but a lot of people speak it to me as they think I am and since I took classes in Igbo over 35 years ago in an FGGC (when they were like Prep schools), I can “maka gini” or “ibuolachi” or “Abuolamchi” anyone! I know enough Igbo and my best friend here is Igbo! Nigeria needs to work for the Hausa in IDP camp as well as the Igbo in Alaba and the mama eleko in Yaba! If this generation is reflected in these comments there is little hope in Nigeria! Someone mentioned one of the Kardashians! No! I thought most young Nigerians live online and should know the history of the billionaire among them Kylie Jenner. Mega brands want Kylie to just mention their brands in a tweet and cough out $millions! The clan was helped by their Momager Mother! No comparison with any rich Nigerian! Same with jayz and Beyonce! We need to be a humble nation. Let as many Emoney as we have all over be probed, I’m fine with that. Start with my parents village and county, I have a few ones in mind! Let’s get over our tribal instincts! No abuse! I fit born many on this blog!
