The African leaders revealed by Captain Smart, host of Fabewoso, an anti-corruption segment on Adom FMs Morning Show “Dwaso Nsem” are Presidents of Nigeria, Tanzania, South African, Rwanda and Kenya.
His plan, however, did not materialise after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), issued a stern warning to the gold firm.
