A tip from a whistle blower today led operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to intercept huge sums of money in various currencies at the popular Balogun market in Lagos. The monies include €547,730 and £21,090 as well as N5,648,500 .

The total haul is about N250m at the prevailing exchange rate at the parallel market. The intercept followed information that about N250 million cash was being moved somewhere in the market for conversion into foreign currencies by unnamed persons. Operatives responded timely, met the money in Bureau de Change office, but a large chunk of it had been converted into Euro and Pounds sterling.

The BDC operators found in possession of the monies claimed they were acting on behalf of their boss who sent the money to them from one of the Northern states in Nigeria.

Two persons apprehended in the course of the raid are helping the Commission in its investigation.

Ekiti state governor Mr Ayodele Fayose was featured LIVE on AIT Program, 'People, Politics and Power' with Odion Bello. Below are some of the things the governor said;

#FayoseOnAIT: Normally I speak to Nigerians on the court of public opinion. Fayemi called to congratulate after I won the election, he invited me to his office and said we were going to work together. Few days after he started playing to the gallery, they did everything possible to make sure I was not sworn-in, they said I slapped a judge, I have always said they should allow the judge tell the public if I slapped him.

If Fayemi feels like coming back, it is a legitimate decision, let him do that by first getting the ticket of his political party. If APC wins one local government in Ekiti come 2018, I will concede that election.

I was part of Fayemi’s victory in 2010, I was in exile then but spoke with teachers on phone to vote him, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu begged me at Bourdillion to work for Fayemi.

The Supreme Court said it can't reverse itself when Segun Oni approached it to do so.

I have never met the Supreme Court justices who said Fayemi begged them to give judgment against me in his favour, such should not be taken for granted.

I immortalised Fayemi’s deputy by erecting a befitting edifice in her name, we did this for posterity.

My name is Peter The Rock, you hit me, you die, I hit you, you die. They will meet me in Ekiti, they should forget about hijacking Ekiti, the power of the people is greater than those of us in power. The people are on my side.

The federal government will not obey the judgment that they should defreeze Patience Jonathan’s account. Till today they didn’t obey the judgment in my favour, I have only been able to withdraw from my account just once.

Remember the woman, Taiwo Momoh, who was prevented from jumping into the Lagos Lagoon by the operatives of the Rapid Response Squad of the Lagos state Police Command, she has gone back to her business (bigger and better)... The 58-year-old textile dealer in Lagos Island, had put off her shoes and was wrapping her dress around her when men of RRS 226 prevented her from jumping into the river last month.

The lady, who lives in Lekki Lagos, disclosed that she was pushed to committing suicide in order to put an end to her constant sleeplessness and shame occasioned by her indebtedness to three Swiss textile dealers.

She noted that her problem started sometimes in 2015, when a Bureau De Change dealer carted away her N18.7 million she wanted to change to pay her foreign creditors. Her condition she said became compounded when robbers invaded her shop in Lagos Island carting away most of the textiles that was left with her.

This Morning (about 11am), This Man packed This Car and stole This Drink (Jack Daniels, N4900 only) from This Superstore that is in the same office complex with my own office. He has many other bottles of hot drinks under the front passenger seat of the Car. (We have not opened the boot).

According to the statement he wrote while being asked by a Barrister, who also has office in the complex, he said he was a former Custom Officer (maybe dismissed), but now into Clearing and Forwarding. He said he was/is a politician and that he even contested for House of Assembly in his Ekiti State under APC, against one Ojo of PDP. According to him, he has four children, two of them graduates.

Some boys them were ready to do the extras, thank God for some police officers that arrived the scene. I don’t just understand, is this greed or a negative spiritual propeller
