Soldier beats Okadaman to death after car hits motorcycle

A power-drunk soldier, identified simply as Sergeant Taiwo, has brought sorrow into the family of a 25-year-old commercial motorcyclist, Abu Alhaji, whom he allegedly beat to death.

Taiwo, aka Sir T, lives in Myyong Army Barracks, Yaba, and is in detention in the barracks.

The motorcyclist, father of a six-month-old child, was said to have taken a woman, who wanted to buy snacks, to an eatery in the Morroco, Shomolu area, while the soldier parked his Toyota Camry on the premises.

It was learnt that Abu was waiting to take the passenger back to her destination when Taiwo, who had gone to a beer parlor opposite the eatery, came back to pick his car.

It was gathered that while Taiwo reversed his car to exit the premises, the vehicle hit the back of the victim’s motorcycle.

The Punch learnt that as Abu struggled with the motorcycle, the woman arrived at the scene.

An eyewitness, Bolaji Oke, said the woman quickly hit the body of the car to alert the soldier not to run over Abu, who was still battling with the motorcycle.

“The soldier came out of his car and slapped the motorcycle rider repeatedly. As the rider tried to explain to him what actually happened, he descended on him with blows and beat him up. The passenger fled in the process.

“The soldier beat the rider until he could not stand on his feet; and he left in his car. As he was beating the man, he said nothing would happen if he died. Everybody present was afraid to intervene because he is a soldier. Somebody informed his younger brother, who rushed to the scene. The case was reported at the barracks and the victim was taken to the Military Hospital in Yaba around 9pm on Friday,” Oke said.

It was said that the incident was also reported at the Alade Police Station.

A resident of the area, who gave his name only as Collins, told Punch that Taiwo was notorious for intimidating people, adding that he recently ran into trouble with a Major because of his attitude.

Distraught Abu’s elder brother, Adamu Alhaji, who lives in Kano State where the victim hailed from, said he was relaxing in a mosque after observing Ishai (8pm) prayer when Abu’s younger brother, Shuaib Alhaji, informed him on the telephone that he had been hospitalised.

“I took a night bus to Lagos. When I arrived around 11am on Saturday, I was taken to the hospital’s mortuary. Abu died at about 7am on Saturday. Shuaib travelled to Kano on Monday to look after our parents because they have been weighed down since they learnt of Abu’s death,” he added.

Adamu urged the army authorities to support the family to cater to their ageing parents and the deceased’s nursing wife, adding that the death was an irredeemable loss to the family.

Lagos Police PRO, SP Dolapo Badmos, who confirmed the story, said the command was working with the Nigerian Army to ensure the prosecution of the killer soldier.

Lagos Police vows to stop Tuface’s planned nationwide protest

The Lagos State Police Commissioner Fatai Owoseni on Wednesday said he will not allow the planned protest against the Federal Government slated for February 6th to hold in the state.

Popular musician, TuFace Idibia who joined the call for protest by some concerned Nigerians over the state of the nation, had used his social media platforms to appeal to his supporters to join the movement.

But Owoseni, who had earlier stated that there was no official request from the protesters notifying security agencies of their plan, said Wednesday that intelligence report indicates that criminals might hijack the process.

According to the police chief, the command wasn’t ready for that kind of demonstration and as such would not allow it to hold.Tuface-Idibia

He said no matter how good an intention is, hoodlums would always find a way to harass, rob and attack innocent members of the public, who may wish to go about their Lawful duty.

Owoseni said:

 “Information reaching us revealed that some hoodlums are planning to hijack the peaceful protest. And as such, we won’t allow it to hold in Lagos. We know that Tuface do not have the capacity to contain such a crowd and we will not fold our hands and watch while things go out of hand.”

At a press conference held earlier in the week, Owoseni said:

“The Civil Society had said that they do not need police permission to carry out any peaceful protest, but they should also be aware that there might be those who share an opposing view. This set of persons may want to disrupt the peaceful demonstration and would want to attack demonstrators. 

This is why we advise individuals or group of persons who may wish to embark on civil demonstration to inform the police so that adequate security arrangement would be provided.”

Teenage girl caught while stealing N60,000 belonging to a Bride at her wedding in Lagos

                                 

Luck ran out on a 19-year-old unemployed woman, Ifeoluwa Adekunle, after she was caught stealing money from a bride on her wedding day. Adekunle was charged with stealing N60,000 at a wedding and was arraigned at an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court in Lagos on Wednesday.

 

Adekunle, a resident of Alagbado, Lagos, was said to have committed the offence on Dec. 12, 2016, at La-Occasion Event Centre, New Oko-Oba, Agege, Lagos.

 

According to the Prosecutor, Insp. Clement Okuoimose, the defendant unlawfully entered into the wedding reception of one Mrs Adeshina Adeyanju and stole N60, 000 belonging to the bride.

 

He told the court that the money was stolen from the bride’s bag while she was dancing.

 

“The accused, who was not invited to the wedding, stole the celebrant’s money,” he said.

 

According to Okuoimose, the complainant was dancing with her well wishers who were spraying money on her, while the accused pretending to be dancing too was busy stealing her money.

“The accused, who gate-crashed into the wedding was pretending to be sharing in the joy of the complainant, not knowing that she was using style to steal the money and put it in her bag.

“The complainant’s sister noticed and the accused was challenged. Her bag was searched and N60, 000 in different dominations was found.

“Another N3, 000 was found separately but the accused confessed that she stole that N3,000 from another wedding before coming to the complainant’s,” he said.

 

The prosecutor told the court that the offence contravened section 285 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.

 

The accused, however, pleaded not guilty and was admitted to bail by the Magistrate, Mrs O.Y Ekogbule, at the sum of N40, 000, with two sureties in like sum.

Ex-Minister’s son Pays N1b Cash for Land, Four Houses-EFCC

Shamsudeen Bala, the son of a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), paid about N1billion CASH for plots of land and houses, according to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) investigations.

The big boy will be arraigned in court today (Wednesday) alongside four others - Bird Trust Agro Allied Ltd, Intertrans Global Logistics Ltd, Diakin Telecommunications Ltd and Bal-Vac Mining Ltd.

All the suspects are to face a 15-count charge at the Federal High Court, Abuja.

According to the EFCC, the son of the former minister, Bala Mohammed, paid CASH for five plots of land and four properties in highbrow areas of Abuja to avoid any suspicion by banks and other monitoring agencies.

The purchases include five plots at Asokoro Gardens; House FS 2 B, Green Acre Estate Apo-Dutse, Abuja; House FS 1A, Green Acre Estate, Apo-Dutse; FS 1B, Green Acre Estate, Apo-Dutse, Abuja and House 2A, No. 7, Gana Street, Maitama, Abuja.

The anti-graft agency is accusing Shamsudeen of money laundering for allegedly making cash payment for choice houses in excess of the statutory limit without going through a financial institution.

Three of the duplexes traced to Shamsudeen have been seized in line with sections 28 and 34 of the EFCC (Establishment Act) 2004 and Section 13(1) of the Federal High Court Act, 2004, which empower the anti-graft agency to invoke Interim Assets Forfeiture Clause.

Ed-Sheeran Unveil 60 elaborate tattoos, plans to get 30 more on his back

Beneath the chunky-knit jumpers and hooded jumpers, Ed Sheeran is hiding a rather astonishing secret, more than 60 multi-coloured tattoos.
The 25-year-old Suffolk-born singer’s parents are likely to be less than thrilled with his new body art, the Grammy-winner could not be happier, and is planning on having another 30 or so on his back.

He has spent a painstaking, quite literally 40 hours in the tattooist’s chair over the past 12 months.
Among the drawings are a pair of Rolling Stones lips in a tribute to his icon, Sir Mick Jagger, a dinosaur in a nod to his favourite childhood cartoon, and the crest of his old junior school.

Celebrity tattoo artist Kevin Paul, who has also inked Rihanna and Harry Styles, was the man behind the elaborate etchings, and the pair spent their evenings getting Sheeran’s body covered during the performer’s recent sabbatical.

UK deport 83 more Nigerian

No fewer than 83 Nigerians are expected to arrive in the country today (Wednesday) following their deportation from the United Kingdom.

It was gathered that among those to be deported were residents whose documents had expired and prisoners whose terms of imprisonment were nearing completion.

The spokesperson for the National Emergency Management Agency, South-West Zone, Ibrahim Farinloye, said the deportees were expected to be in the country at 5am.

He said they would arrive through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, adding that officials of the agency and other government workers were expected to receive them.

Farinloye said the prisoners would complete their jail terms in Nigeria.

He said, “We were informed that 83 Nigerians would be deported from the United Kingdom on Wednesday morning. Some of the people affected are those who haven’t completed their prison sentences. They would be taken to Nigerian prisons to complete their terms. Although we cannot tell the various offences, we believe others could be drug-related and immigration problems.

“We expect that when they arrive in the country, we would be able to know the real reason for their deportation. The aircraft is expected to arrive in the country at 5am at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport.”

Because Of A Female Friend Policeman Brutalised Lady Left Her with Broken Jaw

A 30yrs old woman, Oluchukwu Ezemaduka, is currently battling with a damaged jaw at a private hospital in Lagos, after she was allegedly battered by a riot policeman, Idiahgbe Iyobosa.

Officer Iyobosa, who is attached to a bank in the FESTAC Town, was said to have repeatedly hit the woman in the jaw with his service boots until blood gushed out.

Oluchukwu is the friend and roommate of Iyobosa’s girlfriend, Maryjane Anyagwa. The friends live on Awoyemi Street, off Coker Road, Ejigbo.

According to Punch, Iyobosa had visited his girlfriend in Ejigbo on Saturday, January 21, at about 9pm, with a view to passing the night at her place, but met only Oluchukwu at home.

He was said to have got enraged and resorted to the assault as the victim told him that she didn’t know Maryjane's whereabouts.

Oluchukwu, who managed to speak to Punch from her sick bed, said the policeman ransacked the apartment, looking for his girlfriend.

“I was not in the room when he came. As I was about to enter the room, I felt that somebody was there; I got a torch from a neighbour and shone it in the room. That was when I knew it was him. He had scattered everywhere.

“He asked me where his girlfriend was, I didn’t answer him. He asked me the second time and I told him that I didn’t know her whereabouts. He kicked me several times with his boots, breaking my jaw. He brought out a dagger and chased me outside. It was people, who saved me.

“The pain is too much for me. The doctor said I would undergo surgeries this week.”

Her friend, Maryjane, said her relationship with Iyobosa was marred with threats and harassment, saying she was no longer interested in the relationship.

She said, “I was not around that day. When I came back the next morning, my neighbours told me that my boyfriend came to beat up my friend because he was looking for me. He thought she deliberately refused to disclose where I was.

“He usually assault me too. Most times, he would not notify me that he would pass the night in my place. He would threaten to deal with me if I report him to the authorities or quit the relationship. I was afraid.

“We started dating each other about a year ago. I later knew that he is married with two kids. The wife had warned me to stay away from her husband.”

An eyewitness and neighbour, Henry Okafor, said Iyobosa also attacked him that day when he cautioned him.

“He just came from nowhere and started beating the lady. He also attacked me. I didn’t fight him because he was in uniform,” he added.

Oluchukwu’s father, Mike Ezemaduka, who is based in Abuja, said he was shocked on seeing the condition of his daughter at the hospital

He said, “It was a serious injury and she will undergo two surgeries, according to her doctor. The doctor said she needed to recuperate a little bit before he could carry out the surgeries. The lower jaw was broken. We were told that she would no longer be able to chew if she didn’t undergo the surgeries, which will cost about N700,000. The policeman’s relatives have promised to pay the bill.

“My daughter is not his girlfriend; she has nothing to do with him at all. Why should he beat someone, whose room he barged into?”

It was gathered that the case was reported at the Ejigbo Police Station and Iyobosa was arrested.

The acting Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, Olarinde Famous-Cole, in a text message, said, “The incident was reported at the division for discreet investigation.”
