| Esho |
Lagos socialite and darling of Fuji
musicians, Bolaji Esho, as you read this is currently cooling his heels at the Security
Intelligence Bureau (SIB) of the Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja, over a case
of N48 million fraud.
SHOWBIZPLUSng exclusively gathered
that the embattled socialite was picked up in the evening of Thursday, April
10, 2014, at his Yaba, Lagos based bar and immediately whisked away in hand
cuffs.
Esho’s arrest was due to a petition
written to SIB, by a Nigerian business man based in Malaysia, Samson Ajani.
In his petition, Ajani claimed he
gave Esho the sum of N48 million to assist him build a farm in Epe, Lagos since
2012.
But till date nothing had been done
on the farm, except a small fence. And that all efforts to get Esho to complete
the project or even return his millions met a brick wall. He disclosed that it
got to a stage, Esho started threatening his life.
A police officer who confirmed Esho’s
arrest to SHOWBIZPLUSng but does not want his identity disclosed, said they took
Esho and Ajani to the farm site at Epe on Friday, April 11 and saw for
themselves that nothing had been erected on the virgin land.
“My brother, we are still
investigating. Once we conclude our investigations, Esho will be charged to
court. Since his arrest, his friends in high places have been storming SIB and
putting pressure on us to release him. As I speak to you, he is still in our
custody and helping us with investigations.”
Meanwhile, we could not get a
reaction from the PPRO, Lagos Command, Ngozi Braide, before publishing.
