Ex-Skye bank chairman Tunde Ayeni arrested by EFCC, to be arraigned for fraud

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission have arrested and detained a former Chairman of Skye Bank Plc (now Polaris Bank), Tunde Ayeni, for fraud, Punch reports.

Ayeni was chairman of the bank before it's license was revoked by the CBN in September this year. The former bank boss is alleged to have mismanaged the defunct bank's funds which almost led to its collapse. 

According to reports, the EFCC has filed charges against Ayeni at a Federal High Court in Maitama and he will be arraigned in court soon. He is currently being detained by the anti-graft agency.

The Central Bank of Nigeria, NDIC and AMCON had revoked the operating licence of Skye Bank following its financial instability, thus necessitating the regulators to rename it Polaris Bank and made a capital injection of about $2bn.

What you need to know before seeing Aquaman

DC is introducing its newest superhero film on December 21, 2018 — Jason Momoa will take up the mantle as Aquaman for the third time, after appearances in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League. It's been quite a long time coming: First optioned in 2004 and again in 2009 (the second time by Leonardo DiCaprio's production company, Appian Way), Aquaman was finally and officially snapped up by Warner Bros. in 2014, when the studio announced that Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman would all be getting the cinematic treatment. Once Jason Momoa, who was previously best known as the surprisingly romantic Dothraki king Khal Drogo on Game of Thrones, was cast in the title role, the internet exploded with speculation about where this film might take the classic character.

After a bit of creative turnover, Aquaman ended up being helmed by director James Wan and written by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick & Will Beal. DC's Christmas release is sure to be a big hit, but viewers still have plenty of questions. Whether or not you've seen either Superman vs. Batman or Justice League, Aquaman is still somewhat of an enigma — so here's what viewers need to know before they settle in for the premiere of the standalone Aquaman film.

How does Arthur Curry become Aquaman?



Aquaman wasn't always a sea-based superhero — he was born Arthur Curry, a half-Atlantean and half-human boy whose mother Queen Atlanna (Nicole Kidman) was forced to leave him in the care of his human father, Thomas Curry (Temuera Morrison). When Arthur is a child, he begins to discover his powers, realizing that he can survive underwater and even thrive there. However, in being split between these two worlds, young Arthur is rejected by both sides of his heritage, and in the end, he finds himself somewhat lost. As an adult, Arthur must not only find his place in both worlds, but also vie for his rightful throne and lead the people of Atlantis while looking out for the safety of the world at large.

Aquaman has a wide range of powers, including super strength, extreme durability, the ability to breathe underwater, control over all life under the sea, and, naturally, well above average swimming ability. Audiences can only assume that we'll see all of these powers — and more — in the film.
