How Saraki And His Aides Embezzled N3.5B From Paris Club Loan Refunds
Officials of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
have formally named Senate
President Bukola Saraki, a former
Managing Director of Heritage Bank,
Robert Mbonu, a firm, Melrose
General Services Limited, the
relationship manager to Mr. Saraki,
Kathleen Erhimu, the deputy Chief of
Staff to Senator Saraki, Gbenga
Peter Makanjuola, as targets of an
investigation into the embezzlement
of as much as N19 billion that accrued
as refunds to state governments that
had made excess payments on loans
obtained from international lenders,
the London and Paris Clubs. Also
named by the EFCC as players in the
huge scandal are Kolawole Shittu, the
supplier of a controversial Range
Rover vehicle to Senator Saraki, as
well as one Obiora Amobi and one
Oladapo Joseph Idowu.
In a report forwarded to the
Presidency and obtained by
SaharaReporters, the EFCC wrote,
“Mr. Robert Mbonu is alleged to have
received the sum of N3.5 billion into
his company's account (Melrose
General Services Limited) from the
[Nigerian Governors’ Forum] through
Account 0005892453 domiciled in
Access Bank.” The report identified
“one Kathleen Erhimu [as] the
Relationship Manager to Dr. Bukola
Saraki's account with Access Bank.”
The elaborate EFCC report
authenticates a series of reports in
which SaharaReporters disclosed that
Mr. Saraki as well as numerous
governors colluded to pocket most of
the billions of naira in refunds. Mr.
Saraki had accused our website of
fabricating the report, claiming that
the EFCC was not investigating him in
relation to the loan refund fraud.
However, the document forwarded to
the Presidency by the EFCC outlined
Mr. Saraki’s deep involvement in the
still unfolding embezzlement saga.
A part of the EFCC document
reported that, at a meeting, Senator
Saraki had “introduced one Joseph
Oladapo Idowu and Gbenga Peter
Makanjuola his deputy chief of staff
to [Ms. Erhimu] and Makanjuola
thereafter introduced Mr. Robert
Mbonu to Ms. Kathleen Erhimu.” The
EFCC told the Presidency that Mr.
Mbonu operated corporate accounts
for Melrose General Services at
Access Bank. The accounts, listed as
0005892453 and 0005653500, were
until December 13, 2016 operated as
business accounts, according to the
EFCC report.
The report further disclosed that
Halima Kyari, the head of “Private
Banking Group” at Access Bank,
“stated in a letter dated December
13, 2016, [that] Mr. Robert Mbonu
requested a transfer of Melrose
General Services Company account
from Business Account to a Private
Banking Group Platform as he was
expecting huge funds into the
account. SaharaReporters learned
that Mr. Mbonu’s move was at the
instance of Senator Saraki who
desired the use of the Melrose
General Services Company account to
warehouse his cut of the funds that
came from the London-Paris Club
refunds.
The EFCC report stated,
“Subsequently, on December 14,
2016, the sum of N3.5 billion was
lodged into Melrose General Services
Company account number
0005892453 domiciled with Access
Bank from the Nigerian Governors
Forum (NGF).”
According to the anti-corruption
agency, Mr. Mbonu subsequently
introduced Mr. Amobi and Mr.
Makanjuola to Access Bank as
representatives of Melrose General
Services Limited. The purpose of the
introduction, the EFCC found, was to
enable the two men to do cash
withdrawals from the account. The
report stated that Mr. Amobi and Mr.
Makanjuola soon made several cash
withdrawals in tranches of N5 million
and N10 million.
The EFCC report stated that Mr.
Mbonu also requested that one
Oluyemi Braithwaite, the owner of
Reinex Bureau de Change,
Caddington Capital Limited and
Westgate Limited, provide dollars in
exchange for the naira-denominated
withdrawals from the erstwhile
Melrose account. Mr. Mbonu, a front
for Senator Saraki, asked Ms.
Braithwaite to hand over the dollars
to one Mr. Gbenga in Abuja.
According to the EFCC, Ms. Oluyemi
Braithwaite sought out one Hassan
Dantani Abubakar, a cousin of former
military head of state, Abdulsalam
Abubakar, to produce the dollars in
exchange for the naira provided by
Mr. Mbonu. Dantani Abubakar’s role
in the saga is significant in
establishing another tie to Senator
Saraki. Mr. Abubakar, who operates a
bureau de change, has had a
longstanding relationship with Mr.
Saraki. In 2015, several members of
the senator’s security detail
conspired to steal N300m that
Dantani Abubakar was moving for
Mr. Saraki. Most of the security
operatives, officers of the
Department of State Security (DSS),
were subsequently arrested when it
was established that they ambushed
the illicit funds being transported to
the senator. The EFCC report stated
that Ms. Braithwaite had, over the
phone, introduced Mr. Mbonu to Mr.
Abubakar. In addition to operating a
bureau de change (BDC), Mr.
Abubakar also owns several
companies, including Hamma
Procurement Limited, Ashrab Nigeria
Limited and Inspire Solar Application.
The EFCC report added that, on
December 16, 2016, Melrose paid the
sum of N246 million into an account,
No. 2030756168, held by Mr.
Abubakar’s company, Hamma
Procurement Limited, at First Bank. In
return, Hamma Procurement
released the sum of $500,000 to one
Mr. Gbenga in Abuja. Mr. Gbenga, an
aide to Mr. Saraki, acknowledged
receipt of the same amount, said the
EFCC.
According to the anti-corruption
agency, “on the 21st December, 2016,
Ms. Oluyemi Braithwaite contacted
Hassan Dantani Abubakar requesting
for another transaction of $370,000.
Melrose General Services Company
transferred the sum of N181m to
Inspire Solar Application. The
$370,000 was handed over to one Mr.
Dapo in Abuja.”
Providing more details of the
intricate maneuvers used by Senator
Saraki to move funds, the EFCC
report noted: “That on the January
4th, 2017, Mbonu through Melrose
General Services Company
transferred the sum of N248, 500,000
to Caddington Capital Limited
belonging to Ms. Oluyemi Braithwaite
who transferred same to Hassan
Dantani Abubakar's FCMB account,
Ashrab Nigeria Limited for the sum of
$500,000. The dollar equivalent was
handed over to Mr. Kolawole Shittu in
Abuja an amount reportedly used to
purchase a bulletproof Range Rover
luxury car recently seized by the
Nigerian Customs.
“That on January 10, 2017, Mr. Robert
Mbonu through Melrose General
Services Company transferred the
sum of N99, 820,000 to Caddington
Capital Limited belonging to Ms.
Oluyemi Braithwaite who transferred
same to Hassan Dantani Abubakar's
FCMB Ashrab Nigeria Limited for the
sum of $200,000. The dollar
equivalent was handed over to Peter
Makanjuola in Abuja.
“That on December 19, 2016 there
was a cash withdrawal of the sum of
N50 million from Melrose General
Services account via [a] cheque by
Gbenga Peter Makanjuola.
“Also, the sum of $1,570,000 was
received by the trio of Mr. Gbenga
Peter Makanjuola, Mr. Kolawole
Shittu and Mr. Oladapo Joseph Idowu
at various times and locations at
Abuja FCT.
“That on the December 26, 2016, Mr.
Robert Mbonu called Mrs. Kathleen
Erhimu of Access Bank requesting her
to source for a customer that would
have the sum of $500,000 in
exchange for the Naira equivalent.
She introduced Mr. Robert Mbonu to
Acarast Commercial Limited and
Capital Field Investment to help him
source for dollars.
“That on the 21st December, 2016,
GCA Energy Limited paid the sum of
$25,000 to Asterio Energy Services
Limited which subsequently
transferred the sum of $23,200 to
Cactus Communication Limited
account with Access Bank.
“The MD of Sought-After
International Synergy Limited, Julius
Okedele, stated that Mr. Kelechi
Edomobi of Acarast Commercial
Enterprises, contacted him and
requested to purchase dollars after
the transfer of N73,950,000 to
Sought-After International Synergy
Limited. Mr. Edomobi gave him the
account number of Cactus
Communication Limited [at] Access
Bank as the nominated account to
receive the dollar equivalent of the
sum of $149,000.
The EFCC remarked that their
investigation revealed that Cactus
Communication Limited “is owned and
operated by Joseph Oladapo Idowu,
an aide to Bukola Saraki.” The
agency further reported “Mr. Kelechi
Edomobi also transferred the sum of
N1m on January 15, 2017 to Joseph
Oladapo Idowu's personal account
number 0001679877 with Access
Bank Plc.
“That Asterio Energy Services
Limited on 21st and 22nd December,
2016 transferred $100,000 and
$85,000 to Bhaskar Devji Jewelers
LLC in Dubai respectively,” noting
that this was “the same company that
Dr. Bukola Saraki repeatedly made
transfers to from his Black Card
Account.”
According to the EFCC, “Cactus
Communication Limited on December
30, 2016 paid the sum of $59,660.67
to Bhaskar Devji Jewelers LLC in
Dubai.” In addition, the agency’s
report disclosed that Asterio Energy
Services Limited had transferred
$46,000, $39,000 and $37,620
respectively to Cactus Communication
Limited on January 20, 30 and 31,
2017.
“Based on the foregoing findings, it is
clear that Robert Mbonu, the
Managing Director of Melrose
General Services Company, and his
company were used to help divert
proceeds of unlawful activities under
the guise of payment for contractual
obligations with the Nigerian
Governors Forum (NGF),” the EFCC
wrote in the report to the Presidency.
The agency’s report added “all
payments received by Melrose
General Services Company from the
NGF have hitherto been diverted
directly via cash withdrawals and
indirectly through transfers by
Gbenga Peter Makanjuola, Kolawole
Shittu and Oladapo Joseph Idowu who
are principal aides of the Senate
President.
“Furthermore, other payments from
Melrose General Services Company
[have] also been linked to companies
that Dr. Bukola Saraki has interest in
and [carries] out transactions with.
This includes the sum of $183,000
which was transferred to Bhaskar
Devji Jewelers, Dubai, a company Dr.
Bukola Saraki had repeatedly made
payments to.”
Added the EFCC: “Also, the sum of
N200 million was transferred to Wasp
Networks Limited that subsequently
transferred the sum of N170 million
to Xtract Energy Services Limited, a
company that routinely made
deposits into Dr. Bukola 's Access
Bank United States Domiciliary
Account.”
In its conclusion, the EFCC stated that
a “prima facie case of conspiracy to
retain the proceeds of unlawful
activities and money laundering
contrary to Sections 15(3) and 18(9)
of the Money Laundering Prohibition
Act 2004 can be established against
the aforementioned suspects.” It
added that its operatives were
investigating the personal accounts of
the
suspects, including Mr. Saraki.
Three Things I Did While In Prison — Obasanjo
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on
Sunday narrated his prisons experience
and declared that he did three things
while he was in Yola and Kirikiri prisons
serving a jail term for a phantom coup
charges by the late military dictator ,
Sani Abacha .
He also said there should be no position
that a man should find himself in life
where he should not be useful to God .
He also posited that the major challenge
in life was not how to stay alive but “
what to live for and what to live with . ”
Obasanjo said this while recalling his
experience as an inmate in Yola Prison
where he said he met a hardened armed
robber and serial murderer, Baba Ali ,
who he preached to and later sent to the
bible school and who has today become a
pastor over a Baptist Church .
The ex - President spoke at Shepherdhill
Baptist Church , Obanikoro , Lagos ,
where the Lagos State Baptist
Conference held a thanksgiving service
to mark his 80 th birthday .
The programme was tagged , “Special
Commemorative, Commendation and
Congratulatory Birthday Service . ”
Recalling his time as an inmate ,
Obasanjo said he did three remarkable
things , which were that he built a church
while in prison ; started a farm,
converted Baba Ali to a Christian and
served as prison pastor.
He narrated , “There ’ s a difference
between joy and happiness . In prison, I
had joy but it will be madness for me to
say that when I was in prison I was
happy. How can you be in prison and say
you are happy ? But I was having the joy
of God with me , not for one day was I
sad. And I am grateful to God for the
experience that I had in the prison.
“ I will mention three things that God
made me to do when I was in Yola Prison.
One , God made me to build a church . It ’
s very unusual, I asked the authorities
for land , they were reluctant , but
eventually they gave me land and
immediately , we started getting
donations . It was started before I left
Yola . Wherever you are , you can still be
useful to the work of God .
“ Secondly, there was a parcel of land ,
which was not being used for anything,
so , I told the prison authorities that I
wanted to farm. They were reluctant but
eventually they granted me the
permission to farm and I grew enough
beans to feed all the inmates and the
warders . Don ’ t remain idle , get
something doing . ”
The third thing he did , Obasanjo said ,
was at Kirikiri Prison in Lagos where he
took over as the prison pastor.
He said he took over as prison pastor
because the prison authorities banned
preachers from coming in after some
white garments preachers who came to
preach had helped some inmates to
escape by dressing them in white
garments .
He said , “ They made sure we did not
receive anybody from outside to come
and preach to us or fellowship with us .
So , I took over as the prison pastor . And
there was a boy whom they had
introduced to me , his nickname was
Baba Ali . Baba Ali was the head of the
armed robbers in the North . And if you
were an armed robber and you came to
the prison, you must first of all go and
pay homage to Baba Ali . If you were
going out , you must go to Baba Ali and
ask him for instruction on what you had
to do next .
“ So, I called Baba Ali one day and said , ‘
You are not coming to fellowship ; I want
you to be coming to the fellowship . ’ He
said , ‘ Baba , don ’ t worry me ; don ’ t
worry me at all because God can never
forgive me . I have killed so many people
in my life ; I have drunk the blood of so
many people ; I have eaten the flesh of
so many people and God will never
forgive me , so , don ’ t waste your time
about me . ’
“ I left Baba Ali on that occasion , and I
waited for some time before I went back
and said , ‘ Baba Ali , you know all you
said that you are a murderer, whether
you killed only one person or a thousand
people , you are a murderer; but have
you forgotten that Moses was a
murderer but God used him to bring the
people of Israel out of Egypt? David was
a murderer but God called him a man
after my heart.
“ By the time I was leaving the prison, I
told Baba Ali that if he was able to make
it and he would like to go to bible school ,
I would send him to bible school . Baba
Ali came out of prison two years after
me . By the time he came out I had
become the President of Nigeria . It took
him two years to get through to me ,
when he got to me , I reminded him of
our agreement and he said he was ready
to go to the bible school . So, I sent him
to the seminary . Baba Ali spent two
years in the seminary , today Baba Ali is
the pastor of a Baptist Church . What is
more ? Baba Ali ’ s junior brother took
after him and has also become a pastor.
”
The church presented Obasanjo with a
bible , a bell and a bottle of olive oil .
He was accompanied by his wife Bola ,
Senator Olorunnibe Mamora among
others

29-year-old man dies while digging grave of elderly woman in Ebonyi. Photo
A man identified as Ifeanyi Nwafor 29,
slumped and died as he was digging the
grave of a dead elderly woman in the
village.
He reportedly died inside the grave he
was digging.
The incident occurred in Onunwankwo
village, Umuhuali community in Ishielu
Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
Narrating the incident to journalists, a
member of the Youth Assembly in the
area, Mr. Nonso Ekuma, said the
deceased young man hailed from
Azuegu village and participated in all
the burial activities of the deceased
woman, Madam Alioke Mgbanya.
Ekuma said,
“At dawn, Ifeanyi Nwafor
participated in the digging of the
grave for the burial of the old
woman, and that was where he
met his death.
“Nwafor had participated in the drinking
episode of the wake keep till dawn,
when they began to prepare the grave
before the arrival of the Parish priest to
bury the dead woman.
“When Nwafor got into the grave with a
digger, he dug two times and on the
third round could not bring down the
digger, but slumped and died inside the
grave.”
Ekuma said all the efforts of
sympathisers — including warming his
feet with fire to see if he could be
revived — proved abortive.
Nwafor has since been buried in his own
grave on Saturday at the Azuegu village
Umuhuali, Ekuma said.
An eye witness who preferred
anonymity said Nwafor was a driver, and
he was survived by a wife and two
children.
Efforts to reach the Ebonyi State Police
Public Relations Officer, DSP Jude Madu,
for confirmation was not successful as
his telephone lines were not reachable.

'Vampire Was An Evil Child, He Killed His Classmate When He Was Just 12 - Mother
Abaja Isu in Nwangele Council area of
Imo State heave a huge sigh of relief
following the death of the most
dreaded, vicious and deadly notorious
robber and kidnap kingpin, Henry
Onyekachi Chibueze, a.k.a Vampire, his
distraught mother has described him as
an evil child, who had always acted like
someone possessed by Agwu (Evil
spirit), Daily Sun reports.
It will be recalled that the deadly
criminal otherwise known as Vampire
was gunned down on March 2, at
Umuowa bush in Ikwerre LGA of Rivers
State by a combined Inspector General
of Police Special Response Team from
the Rivers State Police Command and
Imo State Police Command.
Vampire who was born in 1981 to the
family of late Chief Emmanuel Chibueze
had been acting as if he was possessed
with an evil spirit and had become a
terror in the community since a tender
age.
Before he acquired national and
international notoriety, he had
committed his first murder when he was
just 12 years old during a fight with his
fellow pupil, while still in primary five
at Umuokpu Community Primary
School. It was learnt that he ended his
formal education in primary five after
the murder incident for which his late
father had to pay compensation to the
family of the victim. After dropping out
of school, he refused to learn any trade,
but rather joined some undesirable
elements called hunters from the
neighboring community who smoked
marijuana and engaged in stealing
people’s goats and fowls, which they
either sold or killed and ate. It was also
gathered that Vampire later started a
commercial motorcycle business on a
hire purchase basis, operating around
Isu and Anara in Isiala Mbano mostly at
night, returning to the village in the
early hours of the morning.
His mother, Mrs Beatrice Chibueze who
spoke to Saturday Sun in their village,
said Vampire was an evil child as all
efforts by his late father to ensure that
he became a responsible person proved
abortive.
“Henry Onyekachi Chibueze was born in
1981. My late husband had enrolled him
at the Community School Umuokpu in
Abaja, but he had to drop out at
primary five after he killed his
classmate during a fight at school and
he was just 12 years old . That incident
caused the family a lot of problem and
my late husband had to pay
compensation to the family of the boy
before the matter was resolved. Henry
had always acted like somebody who
was possessed by Agwu (Evil spirit) and
at a time the family had thought of
making a sacrifice to the gods of the
land to see if that could make him act
responsibly”, she revealed.
According to her, “when he dropped out
from primary school he refused to
learn any vocational skill, but had
instead joined some bad boys in the
community where he started this armed
robbery and kidnapping. Even though
our family is a polygamous one, my late
husband had ensured that all his
children were educated, but it was only
my son who refused to be useful like his
other brothers and sisters. In fact, it was
the disgrace and shame brought to the
family that led to the death of my late
husband, who developed hypertension
and died eventually.”
Mrs. Chibueze further disclosed that at
the height of Vampire’s criminal
exploits, members of the family
including herself ran away from the
village because he was prepared to kill
anybody and that before he was
arrested in 2015, he had destroyed the
roof of his father’s house when he
visited the village.
She, however, has an appeal to the
police to release the two children of the
late Vampire: Masters Onyekachi
Chibueze and Ezinne Chibuzo Chibueze
who had been in the custody of the
police since, adding that the kids were
innocent of the crimes their father
committed.
Step mum reacts
Also speaking with Saturday Sun,
Vampire’s stepmother Mrs. Francisca
Chibueze, disclosed that he was too
strong headed even as a child and did
whatever he wanted regardless of what
anybody said. She said that the late
father who was a respected man in the
community did everything within his
powers to ensure that he was useful to
himself ,but to no avail.
Onyekachi was a very stubborn child, he
was always fighting in the community
and he was the only child in the family
who had refused to go to school or to
even learn a trade and my late husband
who was his father had done everything
to ensure that he was useful to himself,
but that failed . It was his criminal
activities that led to his father
developing high blood pressure that led
to his death two years ago. “I had
myself advised him severally to
emulate his other brothers and sisters
who are the pride of the family, while
he was still younger before he became
a big criminal and brought disgrace to
the entire family and community”
Community, youth leaders express
relief
Speaking in the same vein, the
chairman of the community, Mr. Obilo
John, said that the death of Vampire
was a great relief to the people of the
community as he did not only bring the
name of his family but that of the entire
community to shame and disrepute.
The community leader said that
Vampire was a bloodthirsty person as
he had also killed one of his best friends
who was popularly known as MC
General of Abaja over a minor
misunderstanding before he acquired
the unenviable status of a notorious
kidnapper.
“The eventual death of this boy who
calls himself Vampire is a big relief to
the community as every body is happy
because of the bad name and disgrace
his criminal activities brought to the
community. Before the Police killed
him, whenever he came to the village,
people of the community would flee
because he could kill at the slightest
provocation. Henry had killed one of his
best friends who was popularly known
MC General and he had even killed his
fellow pupil during a fight, while he was
just 12 years old. I think that the boy
must be possessed, because for him to
have killed the number of people he
had killed means that he was not a
normal human being.
“The entire community now has
resolved that henceforth any of its sons
who is discovered to be delinquent
would be dealt with immediately as the
community does not want another
Vampire who had destroyed the image
of the community. We have also
decided that any stranger who comes to
the community will be monitored as
well as who the stranger had come to
see”
Also, one of the youth leaders in the
community, Michael Ibekwe, said that
the people of the community were
made a laughing stock because of the
criminal activities of Vampire, as they
were often referred to as community of
criminals.
“We are happy that he was killed,
because people of this community were
being described as criminals as a result
of Vampire and we have also decided
that anybody who tries to emulate bad
behaviour of Vampire would be
severely dealt with because the good
name of the community was damaged
severely, and it would take several
years to repair, just because of the
activities of one misguided person who
thought that the only way to make
money is by kidnapping, armed robbery
and killing his victims”

hereby required by Executive
Management to pay the amount listed

Why Murdered Air Force Lady Dumped Her Lover, Mum Reveals. Photo
Mr. and Mrs. Tolani Oladipupo, parents
of the slain aircrafts woman in the
Nigerian Air Force, Solape Oladipupo,
who was killed by her colleague and
lover, Bernard Kalu on March 12, has
revealed how the family made frantic
effort to prevent the cruel fate that
befell their late daughter after they
received a prophecy, which warned
deceased against engaging in any
romantic relationship in her place of
work.
Solape who was popularly known as
Shomzy was murdered by her obsessed
lover over the suspicion of infidelity in
Makurdi, Benue State.
Mrs. Oladipupo told Sunday Sun in Ijebu
Ode, Ogun State that the family received
a prophecy warning the deceased
against engaging in any relationship with
anybody at her base in Makurdi, as such
relationship could spell doom for her.
According to her, the late Solape who
was already dating Kalu, her eventual
killer before the prophecy, was said to
be working towards extricating herself
from the doomed relationship when she
was murdered.
“We were given a prophecy in our church
to tell her not to ever date anyone
where she worked and we told her. That
was when she decided to part ways with
Kalu. We didn’t know it was going to lead
to this. Even one of her uncles called her
to tell her. I think that was how she took
the bold step to tell Kalu she wasn’t
interested in the relationship anymore.
We didn’t know it would result in this.
Her father and I gave her a stern
warning not to ever get involved in any
romantic relationship with anyone within
her base,” she said.
Meanwhile, the slain aircrafts woman
was, last Thursday, buried at the
cemetery in Ojo Military Barracks, Ojo,
Lagos. Her corpse was flown from the
Makurdi Air Force Base to Lagos where
family members and friends gathered to
pay their last respects.
The deceased’s mother collapsed and
fainted as the remains of her daughter
was being lowered.
Speaking in an emotion-laden voice
shortly after Solape’s remains were
interred, the deceased’s father, Mr.
Tolani Oladidupo, who described her
death as a huge loss said getting justice
for the deceased would be a major
source of succour for the family.
“Her death is a huge loss to us and we
can’t just express how much of pains and
agony we share as a family over the
death of Solape. You can see that I am
just trying to be a man, pacifying my
wife and children. I insist that what can
provide a kind of succour to us as a
family is to see government do
something about the case.
“I can say her death is our own sacrifice
to the sovereignty of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria. We cannot wake her
up again and I am not here to trade my
late daughter, but the government
should do the needful,” he said, insisting
on death penalty for his daughter’s
killer.
Meanwhile, Sunday Sun reliably
gathered that the deceased already has
a five year-old daughter. Solape was
said to have given birth to a girl, who
currently lives with her parents, when
she was 16 years old.
My late daughter had a kid, says mother
of slain Air Force woman
How did you get the news of your
daughter’s death?
When I received the new I became
unconscious and fainted immediately.
When I was resuscitated, it was still like
a dream to me. I still spoke with her the
day before she was murdered. I have
lost over 70% weight, right now. When
we were talking that night, she even said
was going to speak with her daughter,
and she did.
You mean she had a child already?
Yes (showing our reporter the child).
What’s the name of her child?
Her name is Bisola Ogunyemi.
And as it is now, how are you taking the
loss?
The person who killed my daughter
won’t go unpunished. He has said he was
going to die too and he should be made
to die. In a situation where Kalu’s family
hires a lawyer to defend him, I will view
it as an attempt to cheat us. I know
justice would still prevail.
Did you have any premonition that such
a thing would happen?
I have never thought I would lose
anyone of them at all. In our church, we
were given a prophecy to tell her not to
ever date anyone where she worked and
we told her. That was when she decided
to part ways with Kalu. We didn’t know it
was going to lead to this. Even one of
her uncles called her to tell her. I think
that was how she took the bold step to
tell Kalu she wasn’t interested in the
relationship any more. We didn’t know it
would result in this. Her father and I
gave her a stern warning not to ever get
involved in any romantic relationship
with anyone within her base. That was
the prophecy we had. Yes, she told me
about Kalu and that was why we had to
accept one Sola, who was always calling
me, although I have never met him.
Would you say you regret allowing your
daughter join the military?
I won’t say that. No regret because the
people there are humans too. There is
no job that doesn’t come with its own
risk. The rest there are humans too and
some even grew very old on the job and
retired. She had got an admission into
the Adeniran Ogunsanya College of
Education before she was recruited into
the Nigerian Air Force.
So, you don’t have any regret
whatsoever?
No, I don’t have any regret. In fact, I
don’t mind if the government can
compensate the family by recruiting
some of her siblings into the military.

Enugu Police Raid ‘Malaysian Forest,’ Shrine Where Kidnappers Dumped Police Corpse. Photo
The Enugu State Police Command has
discovered a shallow grave where the
remains of the former Chief Security
Officer for Uzo-Uwani Local Government
Area of Enugu State, Mr Ejiofor Enechi,
were buried. Enechi was kidnapped by a
syndicate in December, 2016.
Two top members of the kidnap gang,
Chijioke Ozor alias earthquake and one
Anselem Ngana were arrested in
February 2017 after a fierce gun battle
with members of the police anti-
kidnapping unit in Enugu who trailed the
suspects to their hideout in the forest –
‘Malaysian Forest where kidnappers
dump dead bodies.
Enechi’s shallow grave was found on
March 15, at the Aniocha Forest, Nimbo
in the local government, following the
arrest of the duo.
The state Police Public Relations Officer,
PPRO, Superintendent Ebere Amaraizu,
confirmed the arrest of the two suspects
and consequent discovery of Ejiofor’s
remains in the forest to newsmen on
Friday.
According to him, Ozor and Ngana were
members of the banned Oda Nimbo
Vigilante Group in the area who had
been involved in the kidnap of over 20
persons along the Nsukka- Uzo-Uwani –
Onitsha road, in recent times.
“They were among about 30 other
members of the dreaded group who
were being hunted by security agents
following the kidnap and murder of
Ejiofor, after his relations had paid N2
million ransom for his release.
“Ozor, who hails from Ugwunani village
in Aku, Igboetiti Local Government Area
of the state, led the police to the shallow
grave in the forest where the remains
were exhumed.
“Our detectives discovered the shallow
grave and the shrine where the
gangsters took their victims to at the
Aniocha Forest which stretches to Eshi
River in Kogi State.
“Apart from Ejiofor’s remains, they
found several motorcycles of other
victims who must have been killed by
same members of the vigilante group.
“Each time they kidnapped their victims,
they blamed the action on Fulani
herdsmen but it is now clear that the
allegations against the Fulani herdsmen
were diversionary.
“The forest is popularly known as
Malaysia or Ugbo Ekwuru behind the
Ugwuijoro Village in Nimbo.
“Ngana is from Akpama Nimbo and he
was one of those in charge of monitoring
Ejifor’s movements for other members
of Oda Nimbo Vigilante group.
”Earthquake (Ozor) was among those
who took him to the bush where he was
allegedly murdered instead of the
shrine.
“Over 30 members of the killer gang are
still on the run and we are on their hot
chase,” the PPRO added.
Senator Dino Melaye Had Only 3 Credits In His WASC Results - Sahara Reporters
SaharaReporters has obtained Senator
Dino Melaye’s West African
Examination Council (WAEC) result
sheets showing that the embattled
senator was a dismal student who
earned only three credits.
The result sheet for the senator, a
member of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) who represents Kogi
West senatorial district, came from a
secondary school attended by Mr.
Melaye, even though he had kept that
aspect of his academic history hidden
from the public by scrubbing the school
from his profile on the website of the
Nigerian Senate.
Mr. Melaye sat for the WAEC exams at
the Abdulazeez Attah Memorial
College, Okeke in Kogi State. His
results, exclusively obtained by
SaharaReporters, reveal that Senator
Melaye, whose name on the result
sheets was registered as Daniel Jonah
O. Melaiye, only made three credits in
Christian Religious Studies (C5),
Agricultural Science (A3) and Biology
(C6). Melaye took 6 other subjects
including English Language (P8),
Mathematics (P8), Chemistry (P8),
Economics (P7) and Physics (F9).
The dismal performance meant that
Mr. Melaye did not have the minimum
requisite credits to gain admission into
a Nigerian university to study for a
bachelor’s degree. In fact, the only way
he could have been admitted for
studies at a Nigerian university was if
he earned other credits from another
secondary school.
Mr. Melaye did not list his secondary
school education on his
www.linkedin.com profile. Nor did he
provide it on his senatorial profile on
the website of the Nigerian National
Assembly. Instead, he listed Gandun
Nasarawa Primary School in Kano as
the source of his West African School
Certificate. Pupils in primary school are
not eligible to sit WAEC exams.
Authorities at Ahmadu Bello University
(ABU) in Zaria have stopped
responding to inquiries from the media
to provide proof that Mr. Melaye
fulfilled the requirements for
admission and graduation at the
university in 1993.
Two of Mr. Melaye’s classmates
yesterday disclosed that the senator
was impeached as the President of the
National Association of Geography
Students (NAGS) in 1998/99 because
he was accused of stealing a brand new
TV set purchased by the association. He
replaced the stolen TV set with an old
one.
Since Mr. Melaye’s certificate scandal
broke, the senator has sued
SaharaReporters for libel and
defamation, making a court
appearance at a Federal Capital
Territory court in Abuja. The senator
has also today petitioned the Inspector
General of the Nigerian police claiming
that the expose of his shady academic
records by SaharaReporters
constitutes a “cybercrime”.

her, saying medical investigation
revealed that the girl was raped and in
the process sustained injuries
“One Magaji Yusha’u of Majema quarters
of Hadejia LGA was arrested in
connection with raping a three-year-old
girl, while in Maigatari LGAs, one Abdul
Kabir, and Sharafadeen Abdulrahim,

School Principal Going For A Meeting In Delta State, Dies In Fatal Accident
Suicide: Doctor's Family Chases Journalists And Sympathizers. - The New Telegraph
It has been alleged that the family of
late Dr. Orji Allwell Chiawolamoke, who
jumped into the Lagoon on Sunday from
the Third Mainland Bridge while on his
way back from church, yesterday chased
sympathisers and journalists away from
their Abule-Ijesha home at Somolu area
of Lagos State. This came as the Lagos
University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi-
Araba, established a Suicide Prevention
Service Centre. About noon, Orji’s elder
brother arrived and rushed into the
apartment.
A few minutes later, he ordered all the
sympathisers, journalists and church
members to leave. Orji’s elder brother,
who was visibly angry, marched
everybody to the gate and thereafter
shut it. He warned journalists, who
besieged their house to leave as the
death of their brother was a complex
one. He said: “We don’t want to see
family members, journalists and
neighbours. We are mourning our
brother; we need privacy to sort out
something. We didn’t invite journalists.”
This was confirmed by an emergency
response team member, who craved
anonymity. He said: “The last time I
called the family, one of them reigned
courses on me until I informed him that I
was not a journalist but an emergency
officer.”
It was observed that those who came to
sympathise with Orji’s mother didn’t stay
long before taking their leave. Once
they stepped out, the gate would be
slammed, to prevent people from
entering. Efforts to get the burial plans
proved abortive as none of the members
was ready to comment on the issue. It
was learnt that family members were
angry with the way the media carried
their tragic story.
A source said that Orji’s relatives were
angry that what was seen as the most
tragic incident in the family was blown
out of proportion and celebrated by the
media. Meanwhile, emergency
responders told our correspondent that
construction workers in a Japanese firm
discovered the body floating on the
water.
One of them, who claimed to have
received a text message via the Lagos
State Environment and Health
Monitoring Unit (SEHMU), an agency
responsible for picking up of bodies on
the road or disaster victims, said the
doctor’s body was found about 3:48 p.m.
on Wednesday.
The source said: “Immediately the
construction workers sighted the body,
they informed their Japanese bosses
who then tied it to one of the vessels to
prevent it from floating to other area
owing to tidal waves movement. That
was when they alerted the Marine
Police, SEHMU, Lagos State Waterways
Authority (LASWA), Lagos State
Emergency Management Agency
(LASEMA) and other emergency
responders.
“When they arrived, they moved the
body to the Marine Police Headquarters
at Awolowo Road, before the state
Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni,
was informed. The family members
were invited and they confirmed that
the body was Orji’s.”
When the New Telegraph visited the
hospital yesterday, there was no sign of
a condolence register opened in honour
of the doctor. Also, no photograph of
Orji was hung inside or outside the
hospital, to indicate the tragic loss.
Rather, normal hospital operations went
on as usual. Patients were in the
patients’ waiting area.
One after the other, they were ushered
into the doctor’s office for consultation
and treatment. The hospital
environment was serene as normal day-
to-day activities went on throughout the
two hours that our correspondent spent
there.
A doctor on duty, who did not give his
name, referred the New Telegraph to
the headquarters of Mt. Sinai at 30,
Falolu Street, Lawanson in Lagos, where
he said official comment from the
hospital would be issued from. When
asked whether a condolence register has
been opened in honour of Orji at the
headquarters, he said, “I have not been
to the headquarters in Falolu, hence I
don’t know. You will find out if you get
there.
“At the appropriate time, Mt. Sinai, as a
corporate organisation, would make its
plan known (in connection with the
burial).” The doctor added that the
hospital was already in touch with Orji’s
family. When told that those at the
headquarters might not know Orji since
he did not work there, the doctor said:
“They employed him.”
However, efforts to get the comment of
the Medical Director at the Mt. Sinai
Headquarters were resisted by a front
desk officer. Responding to the request
from the New Telegraph to see the
medical director, the receptionist said:
“He is not around.”
As it was at the Papa Ajao branch, no
condolence register was opened for Orji
at the Mt. Sinai Headquarters at Falolu.
When our correspondent visited
Ojuelegba District of the Deeper Life
Church yesterday, the pastor refrained
from commenting on Orji’s suicide.
According to him, the authority to speak
on such matters must be obtained from
the General Overseer, Pastor W. F.
Kumuyi.
However, a member of the church’s
marriage committee, who identified
himself as Mr. Ibekwe, said Oji’s action
was an embarrassment to all the
members of Deeper Life. Ibekwe said the
mother of the deceased was a pastor in
the church.
As if responding to Orji’s death, LUTH
has initiated what it called the Suicide
Research and Prevention Initiative and
Staff Emotional Care Services (SURPIN/
SECS). The hospital’s Chief Medical
Director (CMD), Prof. Chris Bode, said
the centre would collaborate with other
relevant government agencies to help
save lives and prevent death by suicide
both locally and nationally.

Magistrate’s Absence Stalls Hearing On Kemi Olunloyo’s Bail
THE absence of a magistrate, Alatuwo
Fubara, at the Port Harcourt
Magistrate’s Court on Thursday stalled
the hearing on bail application of a
blogger, Kemi Olunloyo, and a Port
Harcourt-based publisher, Samuel
Walson.
Olunloyo, the daughter of a former
Governor of Oyo State, Omololu
Olunloyo, and Walson were arrested
for allegedly publishing materials
believed to have defamed a frontline
cleric, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, of the
Salvation Ministries in Port Harcourt.
Though they were expected to appear
in court in the morning, it was
gathered that the absence of Fubara,
who was expected to preside over the
matter caused them to stay back in
prison.
The magistrate was said to be unable
to come to the court as a result of ill
health.
While the duo’s lawyers and counsel
for Salvation Ministries were present
at the court, majority of those at the
magistrate court were journalists and
bloggers, who came to cover the
hearing and also showed solidarity
with their colleagues.
Olunloyo was arrested in Lagos, while
Walson was apprehended in Port
Harcourt. They were remanded in the
Port Harcourt Prison.
Some of their friends told journalists
that the suspects were currently
having health challenges.
The court, however, fixed March 30,
2017, for hearing on the bail
application of the journalists.
Speaking outside the court premises,
the counsel for Olunloyo, Mr. Eugene
Meabi, expressed regret that the bail
hearing for her client could not take
place as scheduled.
Meabi said, “It is sad, but we firmly
believe that on the 30th of this month,
the bail application will go on. It is a
situation that we are not happy about.
“But we are going to align our position
with that of the court. It is a sad
development. We will hold on and
keep faith. The suspect is ill,” he said.
In his remark, Phoebe Fawehinmi, who
is the counsel for Walson, explained
that her client was diabetic and was
looking forward to the hearing on his
bail application.
She maintained that justice must be
done, adding that journalism was not a
crime.
President Buhari Orders Sack Of Permanent Secretary For Defrauding Federal Government
President Muhammadu Buhari has
ordered the sack of a Permanent
Secretary, who has been allegedly using
his office to defraud the Federal
Government through the award of
phantom contracts worth billions of Naira
to himself.
The permanent secretary, was appointed
by Buhari in 2015, was fired, Tuesday, on
the orders of the President. A source in
the ministry confirmed that two police
officers drove the sacked permanent
secretary from the Federal Secretariat,
Abuja, raising concerns as to what might
have led to such an action.
A Presidency source confirmed to
Vanguard that the President ordered the
immediate removal of the top civil
servant, who presided over the affairs of
one of the strategic ministries handling
intervention programmes in the country
following evidence that he awarded
contracts to companies belonging to him.
Vanguard learned that the sacked
permanent secretary had deployed
several strategies to evade a sting
operation, which had been planned by
one of the anti-graft agencies, thereby
making it impossible for the operatives to
track him down.
It was learned that key officials of the
ministry, who got wind of the illicit
activities of the permanent secretary,
drew the attention of security agencies to
the development and called for urgent
investigation of the man.
One of the security agency officials, who
handled the investigation of the sacked
permanent secretary, told our
correspondent that the sting operation
planned against the official was
frustrated by him and his agents, forcing
them to delay his arrest since January
this year.
“We have been monitoring the man and
the various companies being used by him
to siphon huge sums of money from the
ministry, which handles intervention
programmes in the Niger Delta region
but he has been very smart and
suspicious of our movement, thereby
making it impossible for us to arrest him
despite the ambush we laid for him and
his cronies,” one of the operatives told
Vanguard last night.
He said: “But Mr. President did not waste
time in asking the Head of Service of the
Federation to sack the man with
immediate effect as soon as he got to
know that the man had used over 500
companies to award fake contracts to
himself and move huge sums of money
from the ministry in question.”
“In fact, the discovery of the large scale
fraud in the ministry, which has suffered
a lot of project failure and the
subsequent sacking of the permanent
secretary by Mr. President, followed
painstaking investigation by the anti-
corruption agencies, which will soon
charge the man to court,” the source
added.
Nigerian Man Who Underwent Manh00d Transplant In Egypt Welcomes Baby Girl.
Wife of Zaria man, Muhammad Sirajo
Musa, who got a joystick transplant in in
Egypt has a new baby girl. During the
Eid-el-Fitr of 2009, Musa on his way to
the prayer ground was involved in an
accident in which his joystick was
severed.
He was first treated at the Ahmadu
Bello University Teaching Hospital
(ABUTH), Zaria before he was referred
to an Egyptian hospital where a new
joystick was developed for him.
At the first surgery, the Egyptian doctors
moulded the manhood by extracting
muscles from Musa’s thigh and arm.
The manhood was planted beneath the
position of the severed joystick and was
nursed for nine months before it was
removed and planted in the original
position.
Many residents of Zaria and other
Nigerians doubted the possibility of
Musa’s coming back to his normal sexual
life with artificial manhood, but that
doubt was cleared last week when
Salamatu Maharazu, Musa’s wife, gave
birth to a bouncing baby girl.
The excitement on Musa’s face was
infectious when Daily Trust
correspondent visited him at his family
house in Anguwan Tukurwa inside the
ancient walls of Zaria.
He said; “I give Allah all the glory. He
was the one that saw me through the
trauma of losing my manhood. As you
can see, here is my 8-day-old baby.
I have to also express my appreciation
to the emir of Zazzau, Alhaji Shehu Idris,
because he was the one that sponsored
my treatment. I also wish to thank Alhaji
Isiyaka who also contributed greatly to
my treatment. I named my daughter
Amatul-azeez.”
Malama Salamatu said patience and
believe in the powers of Allah were the
factors that kept the family together
during their trying time.
She added; “I am happy to say that my
husband is back to life and this baby is
the testimony. Praise is due to Allah.”

New Photos Of The Woman Who Carries Oxygen Tank Around For Survival.
A new transformation has begun in the
life of Gladys Kamande, the Kenyan
woman who caught the attention of
many both locally and abroad when her
medical story was shared online after
being approached by a little boy. The
young boy who was begging her busted
into tears after seeing her with an
oxygen tank which she relies on for
survival.
The woman who traveled to India with
her daughter for Trachea surgery and
many other interventions at BLK SUPER
Specialty HOSPITAL just landed in her
country few hours ago without any
oxygen support..….
According to reports, there is some
slight improvement in the fact that
Gladys can survive by breathing freely
without the machines for some hours.

Suicide: Confusion As Doctor’s Family Rejects Corpse
Family members of Allwell Orji, a
medical doctor that jumped into the
Lagos Lagoon , stormed the premises of
the Marine Police on Awolowo Way ,
Ikoyi, Lagos State , on Tuesday to identify
a body recovered by the police from the
lagoon on the Third Mainland Bridge .
But the relatives , who were eager to
claim the remains of their member for
burial , were disappointed when they
discovered that the corpse was not that
of the doctor .
They were, however , told to remain
calm while the search for Orji’ s body in
the lagoon continued.
This is just as reports from some quarters
stated that the doctor was depressed as a
result of a health challenge which also
reportedly hindered his elevation in
Mount Sinai Hospital , Papa Ajao , Mushin
, where he worked.
Colleagues of the doctor at the hospital
approached by our correspondent
declined comments and directed him to
the Chief Medical Director at the facility ’
s head office on Falolu Road, Surulere .
Efforts by PUNCH Metro to meet with the
CMD on Tuesday proved abortive as a
woman at the hospital ’ s reception said
he was not around . She also turned down
our correspondent ’ s request for the
CMD’ s phone number.
The woman, who declined to give her
name , said , “ The CMD is not in town .
We are not allowed to give out his phone
number. ”
The doctor ’ s family members had told
journalists to excuse them from
comments surrounding the incident on
Monday when PUNCH Metro visited his
residence on Odunukan Street , Abule
Ijesha , Yaba .
It had been reported that Orji was driven
in his Sport Utility Vehicle with number
plate , LND 476 EE, en route to Lagos
Island at about 4 pm on Sunday when he
told his driver to stop after receiving a
call .
The unmarried doctor disembarked from
the vehicle, headed for the railings on the
edge of the bridge and jumped into the
lagoon .
The LASEMA General Manager , Mr .
Adesina Tiamiyu, on Tuesday stated that
emergency officials had intensified
efforts to recover Orji’ s body .
He added that fishermen around the area
had been informed to alert security and
emergency agencies if they found the
body in any part of the lagoon.
He said , “ Some of the family members
came to the office of the Marine Police
with the driver and they confirmed that
the corpse we found was not that of Dr
Orji. They said the clothes on the body
were not the ones worn by the doctor
that day . The search for the doctor ’ s
remains continues . ”

"Neither Senate Nor DSS Can Stop My Fight Against Corruption" — Magu
Acting Chairman of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
Ibrahim Magu, has vowed to continue
the fight against corruption, stressing
that neither the rejection of his
nomination by the Senate nor the
report by the Department of State
Security (DSS) that he is ‘unfit’ to head
the anti-graft agency can stop him.
Magu said this when he addressed a
coalition of civil society groups at the
entrance to the National Assembly.
“My priority is to fight corruption. My
confirmation has not changed anything.
We have always been on duty I will
work until the last day whether
confirmation or no confirmation.
“The greatest violation against human
right is crime against the society and
the humanity but everybody has a duty
and responsibility to fight corruption
and I also has a responsibility. I assure
you that we will fight to finish.
“We will never be deterred because
what we are doing is trying to
investigate what has gone before and
protect the future of our children and
our future generation. So, if we don’t
work today and fight against
corruption, the future is not
guaranteed, the future of our children
is not guaranteed.
“So, we must wake up, where ever you
find yourself, fight corruption. Anytime
you discover that I am corrupt, expose
me.”

"Nigerian Airforce Personel Carefully Planned The Death Of His Girlfriend" - DailyTrust...
Fresh revelation yesterday suggested
that the Air Force personnel, Aircraft
Man (ACM) Kalu B.A who gunned down
his female colleague and lover over
suspicion that she was cheating on him
had planned his action well ahead.
The accused, Kalu had on Sunday
morning pulled the trigger of his
service gun on his colleague girlfriend,
Aircraft Woman (ACW) Oladipupo
Solape at their quarters in the Nigerian
Air Force (NAF) Tactical Air Command
in Makurdi when he allegedly found
her with another man.
Daily Trust gathered yesterday from
witnesses at the NAF base that the
jealous lover and his deceased
girlfriend were course mates at the Air
Force training camp and that both
began their soldiering career in
January this year.
It was learnt that Kalu, an Igbo man
and his now deceased Yoruba lover had
related as two inseparable lovebirds to
the admiration of those who knew
them until suspicion heightened in the
mind of the accused that she was
cheating on him with a male youth
corps member.
He was said to have obtained the rifle
he used against Oladipupo from his unit
at NAF base after the 5am emergency
wakeup parade which allowed soldiers
on duty to sign for a rifle for the day.
A source who has close knowledge of
the incident told Daily Trust in
confidence, that “The corps member
boyfriend had spent the night with the
Air Force lady. The way Kalu went
about his action proves that the action
was predetermined. Early hours of the
Sunday morning after the sound of the
emergency alert about 5am, troops
gathered at the appropriate spot to
take instruction from their superiors
and to proceed to sign for their rifles
for the day.
Kalu, after obtaining his rifle had
moved straight to the lady’s house
where she was with her corps member
boyfriend, and shot her in the neck.”
The source added that Kalu made
attempt on the life of the corps
member who struggled with him until
the bullet hooked as he tried to pull
the trigger, making it possible for the
corps member to escape.
Kalu, apart from leaving a suicide note
behind before embarking on his act,
had on the eve of the tragedy hinted
on his face book wall that Saturday
night would be his last moment at the
base because he was going to do
something that would shock the world.
He said in his suicide note: “It is a
prestige for me writing this because it
would be read by most top men. It is a
love story of a guy falling in love with
a wrong witch who pretended to be
good.”
The Command Public Relations Officer,
Wing Commander Emmanuel Iheoma
would not speak on the incident. He
insisted that the details would be made
known on completion of investigation.
Our correspondent gathered that the
accused would be court martialed,
dismissed and handed over to police
for civil legal action, and it has been
reported that a psychiatric test process
had started to determine Kalu’s mental
health.

50-year-old Grandmother Sells Three-year-old Girl To Pay Rent
A 50-year-old grandmother, Rita Eze, has confessed to being a member of a syndicate that allegedly involved in abducting children from Lagos and selling them in Anambra State.
Eze was paraded along with one Ogochi Nwekei and Gladys Augustine at the Lagos State Police Command headquarters in Ikeja on Tuesday. The fourth suspect, Elizabeth, who was said to be ill, was not paraded.
PUNCH Metro had reported that Augustine, who claimed to be Mary John, connived with one Samuel, who is at large, to abduct three-year-old Oluwasemilore Adebiyi, from her parents’ residence in the Alagbado area of Lagos.
To hatch the plan, 28-year-old Augustine enrolled for beads-making apprenticeship at Oluwasemilore’s mother’s shop in January, giving her name as Mary John. She fled to Anambra with the girl seven days after.
The girl was handed over to Eze, who confessed to selling her to Elizabeth through Nwekei, for N500,000. Oluwasemilore was, however, recovered by the police after Augustine was arrested in the Badagry area of Lagos on February 23.
PUNCH Metro had further reported that some parents from different parts of the state had stormed the command and identified Augustine as the abductor of their children, saying the suspect adopted the same gimmick with which Oluwasemilore was abducted.
The victims included four-year-old Farouk and his sister, Kafayat, 6, who were allegedly abducted in the Okokomaiko area in November 2016. The children had yet to be found.
But Augustine denied abducting the kids, saying, Oluwasemilore was her first abduction. She said Samuel had lied to her that he and Oluwasemilore’s mother, Tobiloba Adebiyi, gave birth to the girl, but she (Tobiloba) denied him access to the girl.
The Cross River State indigene stated that Samuel introduced Eze to her as his mother and promised her N50,000 if the plan worked out.
She said, “I came to Lagos in 2010 and I worked as a housemaid. I used the money I got to open a shop. Eventually, I was sent away from the shop and I needed money to start another business. I met Samuel at Mowo bus stop in Badagry in January.
“He said he impregnated a woman and the woman (Tobiloba) left him to marry another man. He said he wanted to get back the child, but the woman refused. He asked me to work for the woman in order to snatch the child and he promised to give me N50,000. On the day I snatched the girl, I took her to a bus stop and bought her a snack.
“When I took the girl to Samuel, he said I should take her to his mother, Mrs. Eze, in Anambra. He said he would tell the girl’s mother that he was the one who took her. I later returned to Lagos, thinking he had told the woman. I was surprised when the police arrested me.”
The grandmother, Eze, told PUNCH Metro that she took N40,000 from the proceed, gave Augustine N60,000 and sent the remaining sum to Samuel. She added that she used the money to pay the rent on her apartment.
She said, “I met Michael in December 2016 at a party in Awka through a secondary school friend, who is an aunt to him. He told me that he impregnated a woman in Lagos and that he would send the child to me to help take care of her. When Gladys (Augustine) brought the girl, Samuel told me to sell her for N500,000.
“I informed Ogochi (Nwekei) and she said one of her friends, Elizabeth, wanted to buy a child. Elizabeth paid N500,000. Samuel told me to give Augustine N50,000 and another N10,000 for her transport back to Lagos, while I got N40,000. I sent the remaining N400,000 to Samuel. I used the money to pay my house rent. I have five children and grandchildren.”
Sixty-year-old Nwekei said she only facilitated the sale of the girl, claiming that she did not receive anything from the money.
“I told Rita (Eze) that a friend, Elizabeth, wanted to adopt a child and she promised to call me whenever she got one. One day, she called me that a child was brought to her. I asked her whether there would not be any problem and she assured me that there would be none. I didn’t know it would turn out this way,” she added.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, while briefing journalists on the arrest, said the suspects would subsequently be charged to court.
Buhari Okays N4,500 Subsidy For N- Power Graduates To Buy Tablets
ABUJA-Federal government has
approved the sum of N4,500 for each of
the 200,000 beneficiaries of N-Power
Volunteer Corps jobs for the purchase
of an enhanced electronic device.
The device would be loaded with
different applications that would
further improve the skills of the
beneficiaries and afford them
additional training opportunities during
the two-year duration of the job
program.
Also, a total of 149, 669 Nigerian
graduates of the 200,000 are now
collecting their monthly stipends of
N30,000 monthly having been
physically verified and deployed across
the 36 states and FCT.
Mr. Laolu Akande, the Senior Special
Assistant on Media and Publicity to Vice
President Yemi Osinbajo made the
disclosure while giving update on the
Social Investment Programmes of the
present administration.
According to Akande who issued a
statement, the device grant was in
conjunction with the Bank of Industry
(BoI) which has extended an asset
finance of 20 months to each of the
200,000 N-Power beneficiaries.
He explained: “While each of the
beneficiaries after being verified would
select their choice of device amongst
nine different BOI pre-approved
vendors, the price ranges from N3,000
to N6,700 monthly deductions for the
next 20months.
“Therefore in some cases the N4,500
device grant would cover the full
monthly deduction cost while in other
cases the graduate authorizes BOI to
deduct the additional differential cost
from their monthly stipends depending
on the device chosen.”
The Vice President’s Spokesman also
noted that “6 of the 9 BOI pre-approved
vendors are indigenous local brands in
pursuit of the Buhari administration’s
push for Local Content.”
He said “almost 100,000 graduate N-
Power beneficiaries have completed
their orders for the devices, adding that
the Bank of Industry is in charge of
affecting the orders made. The plan is
to conduct the order of the devices in
two batches of 100,000 each, one after
the other.
“It was further disclosed that all the
149,669 N-Power beneficiaries now
collecting their stipends have been
physically verified and deployed, while
their given bank account information
have also been matched with the Bank
Verification Number.”
The SSA said that “in December, about
112,475 of the N-Power graduate
beneficiaries received the N30,000
monthly stipends, and the number came
close to 150,000, both in January and
February meaning about that number
are now receiving their up-to-date
stipends from the N-Power Volunteer
Corps.”
Akande also noted “that now
beneficiaries across the 36 States of the
Federation, and the FCT have been
verified, totaling the 150,000 figure. He
said the balance 50,000 of the 200,000
beneficiaries engaged by the FG are
those who so far could not be paid for
various reasons.
“This includes those who were
disqualified during verification on the
basis of age-over 35, and inadequate
academic qualification. The N-Power is
for university, polytechnics and College
of Education graduates only. There
were also some of the selected 200,000
who were ‘no shows’ meaning
they simply did not report for
verification at all.
Others who could not be paid were
those whose personal information
details were faulty, including those
whose marital status have changed.
There are also those who used different
names and differing personal
information. And lastly there are also
those whose banking information
simply do not match with their BVN
banking records.
In the case of those whose marital
status have changed, Akande explained
that their information is now being
updated through the various States and
FCT Focal Persons and then they would
be represented for payment.
He also disclosed that those who have
sought redeployment to other states
are among the 50,000 and in such cases,
they will be considered alongside those
to be replaced from the N-Power
waiting list where necessary.
“The process for the replacement of
those who did not show up and those
disqualified would also resume shortly
to bring the number back to 200,000 for
the first batch of the 500,000 promised
by the Buhari administration”, he said.
