N100m fraud: Crisis set rock PMAN as Zimakoy petitions AIG

By superbass


A fresh round of crisis is rocking the Association of Performing Musicians of Nigeria (PMAN), as the association’s treasurer,  Harris Ibezim Okeilo aka Dr. Zimakoy, has petitioned the Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG), Zone 2, over alleged criminal activities regarding the accounts of the association.
According to a copy of the petition which was made available to Entertainer, Zimakoy is alleging that Pretty Okafor has embezzled N100m belonging to the association.
“I am filing this petition to request for the immediate attention and intervention of the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 2, into the fraudulent financial malpractices, fraudulent conversion of union funds, criminal enrichment and conduct likely to cause breach of peace perpetuated by Mr. Pretty Okafor, Chairman, PMAN Interim Caretaker Committee, with the active connivance of his wife, Nnebor Okafor and Mr. Kenny George,” the petition read.
In the petition, Zimacoy is also alleging that Pretty, his wife and Kenny George have prevented him from carrying out his duties as the treasurer of the union and that they have hijacked the unions accounts which was credited to the tune of N100m by donors and spent the money without his knowledge.
In a telephone chat with Pretty Okafor, the Chairman, PMAN Caretaker Committee, described Zimakoy as a disgruntled element who was on suspension. According to him, the petition is just another attempt by Zimakoy to distract him from his job as PMAN Chairman Caretaker.
Admitting that he had been quizzed by the police, Okafor said: “Zimacoy has been suspended for corrupt and fraudulent practices. That petition he wrote was because he wanted to get back at me. This is the first time PMAN is having Auditing and Accounts Departments. When I assumed office I told my team it would no longer be business as usual. PMAN has changed; this is a new PMAN and we mean business.
“He is saying that Lagos State government gave us N20m which we embezzled but remember that Lagos state has always partnered us and we showed the police a letter from Lagos state government which categorically stated that their partnership with us did not involve giving us money.”

It was later he told me he was done with SQN and I couldn’t believe it!” According to him, he has no issues with Chuddy K’s desire to jump ship. However he says if Chuddy K wants to leave, it must be done legally. “He has all rights to say he is done but it has to be done within the ambits of the law; it has to be done legally because there is a binding contract. To be honest with you, I really don’t know what led to his decision to leave. He just ca...

Actress Mary Uranta’s allegation: My story By TONY OGAGA ERHARIEFE

By
In its travel advisory, the Goethe Institute had warned: ‘Pack an umbrella and a sweater.’ For no particular reason I had ignored the warning and I was about to learn the hard way. As soon as we touched down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi, for the 10 Cities project, sponsored by Goethe Institute, Nairobi and designed to capture the evolution of club culture and music in 10 cities across the world, I knew I was in a different environment. For one, the air smelt clean but the weather was cold, so cold I could feel it in my marrows. We had spent two brainstorming days that included power point presentations, in-depth discussions and debates. Now the organisers felt we should take a retreat and visit one of Kenya’s treasured resorts, Lake Naivisha, located in Nairobi’s countryside and elevated at 6000 feet above sea level. It promised to be an exciting experience as we had been informed that the journey would take us through the rift valley, which I had read about in the ...
