Actress and social media comedienne, Etinosa, was recently a victim of an online begging scam. Taking to her social media page, the actress stated that she decided to help a lady who begged for money in the comment section on her page. She said the ‘beggar’ caught her attention and she offered to help her by patronising her business– preparing local dishes.

In a chat with Saturday Beats, Etinosa, said, “I saw this lady who needed money and I offered to help. I asked her to deliver meals to the movie set I was working on and she said she couldn’t prepare the food because she was in debt and had no money. I agreed to give her the money upfront and she sent a young girl to collect it. On the morning of the delivery, I reached out to her and realised she had blocked me everywhere (on social media).”


The actress maintained that she believes the person genuinely needed the money otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone through the stress of begging and absconding. “When she knew she could get in trouble for trying to scam me, why bother? She obviously really needed it but went about it the wrong way. It would be easy to trace her if the need was real but that’s one loss I’ve counted. Since the transaction wasn’t done via bank transfer, I can’t trace her through her bank details, but she called me and I have the number on my call log,” she added.

She also stated that she still has a heart to help others. She said, “I will still help anyone who needs help another day. This one was not so much money but it’s just upsetting that she played that game. It gives me fulfillment to help people in need and one bad case doesn’t mean I won’t help others in the future.”

An officer of the Nigeria Customs Service has been accused of collecting a sum of N200,000 from a commercial driver who identified himself as Olanrewaju Olasupo before allegedly releasing his impounded vehicle to him.

It was gathered that Olasupo’s bus was impounded along with tomatoes in the Monday seizure made by the men of NCS in Ijoun, Yewa-North Local government area of Ogun state.

While speaking with newsmen in Abeokuta, Olasupo alleged to have paid the bribe to one officer Akin in Abeokuta command without being given a receipt for the payment.

In his words, Olasupo explained that he took some traders to purchase tomatoes in Ijoun when his vehicle was impounded on their way back.

“Before they (Customs officials) released the first goods, they collected N500 per bag of pepper and the money they collected from the woman who hired my vehicle was N23,000 for 43 bags.

“The remaining people that have baskets of pepper also paid N500. For my vehicle, they collected N200,000. They said that my offence was because I carried pepper from the border”.

“When we explained to them, they insisted and collected N200,000 from me after all the arguments on Tuesday.

“They seized my vehicle because I used the vehicle to carry pepper. They said that they collected the money because we used the vehicle to carry pepper.

“They did not tell us what the money is meant for; they only said that they will collect N500,000 before they can release my vehicle. But, I begged them till they agreed on N200,000”.

Olasupo added that although, the customs officer who allegedly perpetrated the corrupt act didn’t give him any receipt but gave him his telephone number.

He added, “I was not given a receipt for the N200,000 I paid. I gave the money in cash. I can still recognize the officer I gave the money to.

“He took us to his boss, but he was the one I gave the money to. He did not issue any receipt. I gave them the N200,000, because they did not want to release my vehicle and the way they were using their trucks to drag vehicles I could not bear it.

“I want to get my money back from them. The money they collected from me was my monthly allowance I raised from three vehicles that are working for me. That was the money we gathered,” Olasupo narrated.

In his reaction, the spokesman of the Joint Border Security Exercise, who doubles as the National Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Customs Service, Joseph Attah, debunked the allegation.

Attah stressed that the driver might have fallen into wrong hands.

He maintained that no officer would collect a bribe and gave his phone number out.

His words, “All the vehicles that were brought to the Customs house are still there. We don’t even know the vehicle you are talking about.

“ The vehicles with tomatoes are still there as at (Tuesday) evening and they had a meeting with the farmers and even with the traditional rulers and they have resolved their issues I don’t know which one you are talking about?

“They have resolved the issue, he (the state PRO) has sent to me, even, the few ones that were auctioned with receipts indicating the payment to the Federal account have been forwarded to me.”

Army Captain who helped Taraba kidnap king, Hamisu Wadume escape after ordering shooting of policemen

Photos of Captain Tijjani Balarabe, the Nigerian army captain that helped Taraba Kidnap Kingpin, Hamisu Wadume escape while being transported by policemen to Taraba State Police headquarters has surfaced following the confession of the re-arrested suspect.

Recall we reported that Wadume in his confession upon getting re-arrested, said the army captain that helped him escape is on his payroll. The Taraba kidnap kingpin also disclosed that he paid huge amounts into the army captain’s bank account three weeks before his arrest and also paid his way through checkpoints to avoid getting arrested with his gang members.

Wadume on Tuesday August 20, revealed how the army captain freed him from police custody. He said the soldiers drove him to the barracks before he was taken to the army captain’s house, where a welder was invited to cut off the hand and leg chains.

Here is a brief info about the army captain.

Captain Balarabe was born in Tudun Fera, one of the communities in Jos North Local Government of Plateau state. He was recruited during the Nigerian Army’s 35 Regular In-take of 1993, just before former Head of State Ibrahim Babangida created the now disbanded National Guards.

10 years after getting enlisted, he joined Nigerian Army’s 2 Battalion then based in Bori Camp, Port Harcourt in Rivers State, as part of the United Nations-backed Nigerian contingent to Liberia in 2003.

“He was one of the soldiers assigned to escort duties for our commanding officer,” a retired soldier told Daily Trust.

Though he didn't further his education beyond secondary school, Balarabe soon got lucky in his military career.

“He was posted to be part of a team providing security cover to a former military administrator of one of the states in the North-East,” a military personnel said.

From being posted to one of the most respected, professional and prestigious military units in the Army, the Guards Brigade, Balarabe became a sergeant and served as a driver to senior army officers. Sources said he was once attached to a former Director of Military Intelligence (DMI) as a personal driver. He also attended a military course at the Warrant Officers’ Academy in Jaji Military Cantonment.

Daily Trust reported that Balarabe was commissioned as a military officer in early 2000s even though his certificates were found “questionable.” He was reportedly detained in a guardroom for over a year, after he allegedly presented a secondary school certificate which the screening board said belonged to someone else.

Unfazed by the certificate scandal, the Plateau-born military gave it another shot and was decorated as a lieutenant in 2013 after attending a training for Executive Commission category.

“Because he was popular at the Mambilla barracks, his friends who were doing business at Mammy Market adorned the walls of their shops with the pictures he took in his officer rank during pass out,” said another officer.

It was further learnt that he sustained a gunshot injury following an attack by Boko Haram insurgents on his deployment to the North-East.

“He came back for home treatment and stayed in Mambilla Barracks until he was fit enough to return to active duty,” the source, now the security chief of a private company, said.

Captain Balarabe who was in Abia before being transferred to the army barracks in Takum community of Taraba State, was reportedly building a bakery in Jos after the completion of his two-bedroom apartment, before his link to Hamisu Wadume was uncovered.

“He was on the verge of importing some modern equipment to kick-start production when this saga erupted,” said the source.

His father said to be an Islamic cleric, reportedly died over 25 years. Balarabe's mother on the other hand is from a royal house in Jalingo which she relocated to shortly after the death of her husband.

“Tijjani is from a reputable home. His father was an Islamic cleric who was well respected in the community. All the children are decent, and I can tell you that this came to us as a surprise and many people cannot believe that Tijjani is in any way connected to the killing of the police officers or have anything to do with Hamisu Wadume,” a source said.
