Akpo would learn all he needed to know about money laudering from the expert, his chairman George Reynolds.
£500,000 in the boot of his roller, I don't trust banks your honour.
As god is my judge I am not guilty of these charges said George.
The judge replied " He isn't, I am, you are, 3 years, take him down.
Been saving this one for you Spen.

Answer: " His lips move"

The article doesn't even list Darlo as one of his clubs, so the story has no interest to Darlo fans.

It reminds me of the old joke about Sam saying about Akpo, "he ain't Efe he's my brother".

Sounds more like they were mules more than actually responsible for the fraud. Wasn't Sam Sodje (or was it another of the brothers) who were wrapped up in the match fixing scandal as well?

They could have helped fix the result of the match as well - allegedly! [ they were not charged with match fixingi in the end]
