Islamic Cleric In Trouble After Failing To Double N350k To N5m

A self-acclaimed Islamic cleric popularly called Alfa, Alhaji Ibrahim Ahamido, has been arrested by the Maroko Police Division of the Lagos State Police Command, for allegedly defrauding a trader, Sarah Moses, after he had collected the sum of N350,000 from her, promising to boost her business by turning the money to N5 million.

Immediately after collecting the money from Moses, Alpha Ahamido reportedly gave his girlfriend, Hawa Musa, the sum N100,000 to ‘renew their love’, and absconded.

It was gathered that Moses was introduced to Ahamido sometime in December, 2015, in a restaurant in Lekki area of the state, and he had boasted about his special powers that could make him multiply money after prayers.

But ever since Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II, has been paying homages to other kings and other important personalities in the country, he has always been seen alone, which is so unusual of a high profile king.

Mr Ekine who frowned at the write-up said “the office space never double as anyone’s residence. We’ve moved out of the place since December 2015 as we deem it fit to relocate. The rent was increased and we moved to where is affordable and more strategic to our business”.
“As soon as an office space became vacant, the next thing is for the property agent to indicate that it’s ready for letting and that’s what is conspicuously hanging on the entrance gate, a ‘To Let’ banner from Bola and Tokun & Co. There is no sign post showing that it was sealed by any court or regulatory agent. Wherever the writer got his information I don’t know” he explained.
