A Nigerian citizen who has recently dared to turn Kampala upside down by throwing money as if he owns Bank of Uganda, has been exposed as serial fraudster on the INTERPOL wanted list.
Popularly known as Don Solo, Tony Taban Suleman had turned into media fodder after hooking up belligerent TV personality Zahara Totto.
Just last week, Don Solo surprised Totto with a ‘new car’ a BMW series, with a fake personalized number plate.
This prompted the public to question whether Don Solo is genuine or a ‘mufere’ seeking attention.
“Just before that he would frequent bars with a suitcase full of money but he throws just a paltry and also orders bottles of drinks which would remain unopened. So we wondered if he was just a showy or,” said a close associate.
Don Solo who used to drink from high-end Kololo Bars later dropped to ‘Kiwatule Bufunda’ many kilometres from the city.
Those who have been following him say that he decided to resort to bars in the outskirts because he had left huge unpaid bills in these bars like at Skys Hotel and many other hangouts.
This website has since landed on details that Don Solo is wanted by the Australian authorities.
Some of the cases are related to deceptions at various bank branches in Melbourne Capital, Victoria State in March.
“He allegedly used stolen cheques to make deposits at banks in Sunshine, Burwood East and Melbourne CBD. The stolen cheque book is believed to be linked to an aggravated burglary in Toorak last December. A warrant for his arrest has been issued,” a source said.
This website is closely following up the matter, and will bring more details.
