Adeoye went further to explain that the only thing they spend money on is organising their yearly physical meeting which is sponsored by the N5,000 contributed as yearly dues by members.
When asked by Rufai Oseni, Arise TV’s co-anchor for Morning Show, why such a big organisation does not have a residential address, he claimed that it is a purely online investment club and there is no need for a physical office. He also disclosed that the investment club invests on stocks and real estate which has yielded the buck of its worth today.
He also claimed that the club does not need to pay taxes separately because all payable taxes have been subtracted from the stock and real estate payments.
On whether the running the club affected his police job, he said it didn’t since was basically done online.
