Five persons have been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over allegation of fraudulent transfer of a total of N5, 550,000.00 (Five Million, Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira) from an account in Skye Bank.

The suspects, Ademola Okunlola, 36; Tajudeen Oluwanisola, 41; Kolawole Adams, 52; Temitope Pedro, 27; Bayo Olowoyo, 39 and Otunba Biodun Adebanjo, 56, were picked up in different locations in Lagos by operatives of the anti- graft agency for allegedly effecting the fraudulent transfer of N5, 550,000.00 from the account of one Ajani Kareem Musibau domiciled in Skye Bank Plc.
The fraudulent transfers took place on March 3, 2014. One of the suspected fraudsters, Ademola Okunlola, a staff of Skye Bank, Ikeja Branch, Lagos, set the stage for the scam when he covertly used his camera phone to capture the photograph and signature specimen of Musibau. He accessed his account and sent the details to another staff of the bank: Bayo Olowoyo at the Toyin Street, Ikeja branch.
The duo reportedly sent Musibau’s photograph and signature specimen to a member of their syndicate who effected the money transfer into two accounts: N4.1Million( Four Million, One Hundred Thousand Naira) was moved into Adebajo Biodun Olusola’s account with Wema Bank, Shagamu branch, Ogun State while N1,450,000.00( One Million, Four Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira only) was moved into another account operated by Temitope Pedro with Guaranty Trust Bank, Ikeja branch.
The suspects were arrested following a petition by the bank.
They will be arraigned in court as soon as investigation is concluded.

‘I made a mistake’ says Pep Guardiola

Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola took responsibility for his side’s UEFA Champions League semifinal loss to Real Madrid on Tuesday.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos struck braces in Real’s 4-0 second-leg thrashing of the Bundesliga champions at the Allianz Arena, completing a 5-0 aggregate victory.
Guardiola said it was his error that led to Bayern’s loss, while he was unhappy with the way his team used the ball after having the majority of possession in both legs.
“We played badly when we had the ball. That’s my responsibility. I made a mistake,” the Spaniard told a news conference. “It was a bit better in the first leg, but congratulations to Real Madrid.”
Guardiola lamented his side’s defending from set pieces, with Ramos heading in a corner and free kick in the first half. Ronaldo netted on the counterattack before halftime and completed the scoring with a cheeky free kick that went under a jumping Bayern defensive wall.
“We have to carry on now. If you don’t play well and you defend set pieces badly, that’s just how it is. You are being punished,” Guardiola said. “We are at the highest level in Europe; such mistakes are punished right away.”
Guardiola said he had been hopeful Bayern could reproduce the performances it put in against Premier League sides Arsenal and Manchester United earlier in the knockout stages.
“What we did against Arsenal and Manchester (United) did not work today,” he said. “Also in the first leg in Madrid we had more control than today and at least a couple of chances. Today, just a few. That’s why we have lost the semifinal. You play with the ball and if you don’t have it that doesn’t work.”

Thanks to Instagram – Katy Weaver’s account specifically – we now know what Miley Cyrus’s backyard looks like. In short, it’s exactly what you’d expect. Adorned with its very own teepee, pony, and Hollywood sign, this outdoor oasis clearly belongs to none other than the queen of twerking herself. But it gets better; among the whimsical accents, there’s a pool, cabana, and built-in grill – all things that translate into the ideal party house or, as you can see below, a relaxing breakfast after a few tough weeks . . .
