“It is true that his escorts have been withdrawn and an investigation ongoing. I do not have much information on it,” said Elkana.
E-Money, who is the younger brother of star artist Kingsley Okonkwo AKA K-Cee, is to be investigated over his flamboyant lifestyle.
It was gathered that Adamu directed the Lagos Police Command boss, CP Hakeem Odumosu to commence investigation into the young billionaire’s sources of income following allegations that he used his police escorts like domestic servants.
