November 21, (THEWILL) – Singer Oritsefemi Majemite Ekele has retraced his steps and has apologised to his erstwhile buddy, ex-convict and socialite, Emmanuel Aneke, otherwise known as Otunba Cash, for publicly maligning him. The singer was recently seen in a video apologising to the CEO of Istanbul Entertainment for shaming him during his trial for fraud and eventual jail term. Oritsefemi alluded to his outburst as the result of the harrowing times he was going through at that time and hoped that Otunba Cash would deem it fit to forgive him.
Recall that THEWILL had reported Otunba Cash’s release from a Turkish prison six months ago, after serving time for committing fraud. He was arrested after the Danish police sent a letter to the Turkish Police Department in May 2018 via Interpol, informing them about an unauthorised access made to a GM Plast company’s email address. The company had paid money into some accounts in Turkey and an investigation by the Turkish Cybercrime Department led to the arrest of Turkish ED, ZI and N.M, whose companies were used as fronts.
The investigation further revealed that Nigerians were behind the scam and a simultaneous operation conducted by the police led to the arrest of Emmanuel Aneke at a luxury hotel where he was staying with some of his accomplices. They were promptly charged, tried and sent to jail.
During the period he was on trial, Oritsefemi had publicly denied knowing Otunba Cash, whom he benefitted immensely from. There are video evidences of Otunba Cash spraying money in different currencies on Oritsfemi while he performed at different events. But the singer not only denied knowing him, but also hoped that his benefactor would end up in jail. Following his release, Otunba Cash has been holed up in Turkey where he is based and obviously had no reason to travel to Nigeria after the majority of his male friends in the entertainment industry, most of who benefitted from him, as well as his numerous girlfriends turned their backs on him during his predicament.
But Oritsefemi has unashamedly swallowed his pride and is seeking Otunba Cash’s forgiveness in the hope that their business and personal relationship would be revived. Otunba Cash is yet to pay the singer any attention.
