The Baale of Oshoroko Village in Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos State,
Chief Olusegun Oyeri, alongside three others have been arrested by the
Lagos State police command for allegedly masterminding the death of an
inspector and hiding his body for nine months.
Inspector Musa Sunday
of the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) had disappeared mysteriously
while responding to a distress call in the area, but his body was
yesterday found at the Ibeju-Lekki waterfront.
Several months of
police undercover investigations paid-off recently after an informant
revealed that the community members swore to an oath of secrecy. After
the tip-off, the informant took the police team to the waterfront where
they dug up his decomposed body and his service rifle, an AK47.
When
the body was found, the police immediately swung into action and
arrested the Baale, alongside three others who were identified as Aroki
Badiru, Nasiru Isiaka and Akeem Balogun.
Confirming the incident, the state police boss, Fatai Owoseni, said the deceased was declared missing on November 29, 2016.
“Inspector
Musa Sunday disappeared from a crime scene in Ibeju-Lekki when he was,
alongside other officers, deployed to that axis from Ibeju-Lekki Free
Trade Zone. In the course of patrol, they were alerted by the community
of a communal fight between two families over land issues.
“Dutifully,
they joined the informant but on getting there, one of the community
callously turned against the patrol team and at the end of the fight,
the team returned without Sunday.
“The next day, I went there and
met the traditional rulers and elders of the community to appeal to them
to release the inspector if they have him in their custody. They denied
seeing him.
“We put together a team of policemen with technical
support from the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team
(IRT) led by DSP Philips and they sustained investigations. Based on
intelligence, nine months later, his decomposed body was found buried
along the waterway with his service AK47.
“We swung into action
and arrested the Baale of the community and three others. The law does
not respect anyone and we use this to send a message to criminals
pretending to be custodians of our culture.
“During
investigation, we gathered that the Baale led the community in
swearing an oath of secrecy to cover the crime and also refused to
produce his two sons that were responsible for the killing.”
The
Baale, when interrogated, denied involvement of the killing, adding
that he had fingered the chief of the community but the police turned a
deaf ear.
In another development, the police yesterday arrested
five persons over acts of jungle justice after they lynched a yet-to-be
identified man at Oshodi on Tuesday.
According to Guardian,
the arrested persons are Ogbonna Nwankwo, Oyetunji Abimbola, Akeem
Jimoh, Kingsley Okoro and Idris Adebisi.They were arrested for
instigating the mob that lynched the deceased over allegations that he
kidnapped two children at Akinpelu area of Oshodi.
By the time the
Akinpelu Police Division got to the scene, the deceased was already
clubbed to death, leaving his corpse for the police to take to the
morgue.
Confirming the incident, Owoseni said despite warnings to
members of the public to desist from taking the law into their hands,
these suspects enacted same act.
The lifeless body of a four-year-old missing child was, at the early
hours of yesterday, found close to a shrine at Iwaya area of Lagos, with
her throat slashed.
The toddler, Farida Ayomide Suleiman, who was suspected to have been
used for ritual at the shrine, was last seen on Tuesday in the company
of her siblings, going to a mosque around the area.
Form the mosque, they were said to have gone to a family friend’s house.
However, apprehension set in when Ayomide was discovered to have
disappeared, a development that led to a search around the area.
Hours later, an alarm raised by the girl’s mother alerted tenants of 28
Ogbe Close, who discovered the body of her missing daughter behind her
window where the shrine is located.
Briefing journalists on the incident, Commissioner of Police, Lagos
State Police Command, Fatai Owoseni, who visited the scene, said 10
persons, including parents of the deceased toddler, are in Police
custody.
Owoseni said: “The DPO of Sabo Division alerted me at the early hours of
this morning (yesterday) that a couple came to the station to say that
their missing child’s body was found behind their window, near an Ogun
shrine, with her throat slashed.
“I was at the scene till 4a.m. with detectives. We have recovered the
corpse and also saw the tool with which she was murdered- a knife.
“Ten persons, including parents of the deceased, have been taken into
custody for interrogation. We are not saying categorically that they
killed the child; the shrine has been in the compound for years.
“If there is no conspiracy of silence, the tenants would have known that sacrifices have been going on in the shrine.
“The owner of the compound was worshipping in the shrine before he died.
After his demise, we gathered that people used to come to worship at
the shrine.”
Mother’s story
When Vanguard arrived the scene, it was observed that the building has been condoned off by policemen even as the occupants have fled.
The bereaved mother, Mrs Bunmi Suleiman, told Vanguard: “When news of
her disappearance reached me, we started looking for her. At about
8p.m., I went to the back yard to fetch water for ablution before going
to pray.
“That was when I noticed something on the ground, which I thought was a
bucket of water. But when I flashed my torchlight, I discovered to my
astonishment that it was my daughter. I screamed; my husband rushed out
and alerted other tenants. We rushed our child to the hospital, where we
were told that she had died.
“We moved into the compound three years ago. We usually see people
coming to worship at the shrine, but never have we seen nor heard that
they sacrificed human beings in the shrines. What they use as sacrifice
are dogs.
“Yesterday (Tuesday), a man and a woman came with a chicken to sacrifice
on the shrine. They called one of the children to help them kill the
chicken, but he refused.
By the time the third child refused, they left only to come back at
night to use my child to replace the cock that was to be used for
sacrifice, with her blood spilled in the shrine.
“I don’t know those who usually come to worship here. After the death of
our landlord, his children worshipped at the shrine, but they do not
live here; they only come to collect house rent from us.
“Other people also come to worship and leave. There is no particular person that says at the shrine.”

Floyd Mayweather says he's putting business before pleasure and all the
ladies can wait for now. He is ready to dig but not after his fight with
Conor McGregor which is much more important to him than SEX. Where is
Usain Bolt?
It's an old superstition that's been around the boxing game for years.
You remember Mick from the 'Rocky' movies famously said, "Women weaken
legs"? Lol.
Well, Floyd seems to agree and that's exactly what he is about to do- staying off women.
A 20- year-old Zimbabwean woman has dragged her parents to court for barring her from staying with her husband.
According to her, her parents were infringing on her right to have sex with her husband.
The parents are arguing that their daughter’s husband has not paid lobola (a bride price, usually paid with cattle).
Spiwe
Kwenda(20), of Mutiti Village, surprised all and sundry when she
dragged her parents to court for interfering with her marriage, ZimNews
reports.
Kwenda told Buhera Magistrate Dennis Mangosi that her
parents, Ian Kwenda and Violent Dhuvadhuve, were disrupting her marriage
by forcing her to come back home.
She further argued she was being deprived of her right to have sex with her husband.
- “The
two are disturbing my marriage which is very bad. My mother confiscated
my clothes and refused to hand them back to me,” said Spiwe.
Dhuvadhuve however argued that Spiwe ran away from home without informing her parents.
- “We
want our daughter to return home because her husband has never paid us
even a single cent. We want her husband to pay lobola. We want three
beasts from her husband,” said Dhuvadhuve.
You have seen all shades of Tiwa Savage definitely; the Queen of pop,
the diva, the slay queen, the wife, the respectful Tiwa and Tiwa the
dancer but you probably have never seen Tiwa enjoying life through the
smokes of the shisha!
Don’t
feel left out, we also never saw it until a camera sneaked up on the
queen while she was puffing up some shisha recently at a club in Lagos.
Apparently, Tiwa Savage was oblivious to the camera, as the targets
of the shot were two other Mavin stars; Reekado Banks and Dr Sid.
However, Tiwa was somewhere in the background, head bent as she puffed!
Now we have seen Tiwa the shisha lover and this, we can add to our knowledge of her! Lol…
DMX is losing his mind under house confinement, because he's already asking a judge to let him out so he can support his fam.
DMX's lawyer, Murray Richman, fired off a letter to a NY federal judge
Monday asking that his client be allowed to travel to Atlanta, Vegas,
Philly, and L.A. for some August/Sept. gigs, the most immediate being
Thursday in ATL.
The judge shot down the ATL request because it came in too late. The
judge made it clear, all requests to leave the house must be submitted
at least a week in advance.
As for the other requests, DMX's probation officers want the judge to
turn thumbs-down, because they think it'll interfere with his drug
program.
Murray says, he's negotiating to get DMX out for some of the upcoming
dates, saying the guy's got 15 kids to feed and needs to make a living.
You'll recall DMX violated bail conditions in his tax evasion case by
skipping town without a heads-up to the court and later failing drug
tests. That's why he's now on house arrest. But he says he's got kids to
feed and should be let OUT
