A male governor is now the talk of town after he acquired a chain of property in a neighbouring country.
Locally, he has been investing in massive projects registered in names of proxies.
Drama unfolded recently when he fell out with his long-time proxy, a woman.
To the chagrin of the county boss, the woman, whom he had romantic ties with, has refused to surrender a prime property the governor had registered in her name.
Incidentally, the woman also operates bank accounts stuffed with the governor’s loot.

Mistaken identity is common.
But it is not interesting when a senior officer is mistaken for a tea girl, an intern or a sales agent from one of the banks.
That was the fate of one such officer who recently toured a regional office. Staff expected a professional who is good at the work but the first impression has really put them off.
Then one cheeky staff dug deeper into the officer’s history only to unearth gross incompetence. Did this person really qualify for the job?
People are wondering!
