The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has ordered the withdrawal of police escort of Five Star Group Chairman, Emeka Okonkwo, popularly known as E-Money.
In addition, he ordered a probe into his source of income and how he has managed to maintain a flamboyant lifestyle.
He accused E-Money of flagrantly abusing police escorts and using them as domestic workers.
“We received a signal from the Force headquarters on Monday that the police detail of music executive, E-Money, be immediately withdrawn and an investigation into the man be launched,” The Punch quoted a top police officer as saying.
“The IG was surprised that policemen were attached to him in the first place and were being used like domestic servants, carrying umbrellas, opening doors, and doing menial jobs for him.
“The policemen were discovered to be attached to B Operations at the command headquarters and not MOPOL which is the usual practice. So, we have withdrawn his policemen and we are inviting him for questioning. The policemen will also be interrogated,” he added.
This is coming barely one year after the EFCC began investigating Instagram celebrity, Mompha, accusing him of money laundering.
E-Money bought new cars for several of his workers to mark his last birthday. Perhaps that one of the many display of wealth that attracted police attention.
