| Young Man Dupes His Friend of N2.4m, Sets Him Up At Computer Village, Lagos Posted: 31 Jan 2018 03:11 AM PST  The incident happened in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where both the suspect and the victim resided. But the suspect tricked the victim to Lagos and set him up. According to PM Express, Darlinton had informed Eruagah that he had raised enough money to travel abroad for greener pastures. It was when Eruagah discovered that the victim actually had such huge money that he promised to assist him to procure travel documents. It was gathered that after the victim gave him the money, he procured fake travel documents and brought him to Lagos having convinced him that he had already paid for the ticket for his travelling. However, when they got to Lagos, Eruagah paid for an accommodation in a hotel at Iyana Ipaja area where they lodged. The next day, he took Darlington to computer village to buy a phone as he would travel the next day. When they got to Computer Village, he bargained for a phone for N100,000 and told the owner of the phone that he wanted to withdraw money from a bank nearby and that Darlinton will wait behind at the store till he returned from the bank. He collected the phone and pretended as if he was going to the bank but escaped to Ikotun to sell the phone. He was unlucky after he had negotiated with the buyer who demanded for a receipt and he could not produce any. He was handed over to the police at Ikotun Division who detained and interrogated him. Before then, Darlington has been rounded up in the market as a criminal and was about to be lynched after they had waited for Eruagah to no avail. However, the victim was lucky as the police used Eruagah's phone to call him. The victim picked the call and narrated to the police what Eruagah had done and that his life was in danger at the Computer Village. The police then rushed down to Ikeja, rescued and brought him to the police station with the owner of shop, where the phone was recovered and given back to the owner. During the interrogation, Eruagah confessed that he procured fake papers and as such the victim cannot travel abroad with the documents. He was charged before Ejigbo Magistrates court for stealing the phone and for defrauding his friend. He pleaded not guilty. The Presiding Magistrate, Mr. F.J. Layeni granted Eruagah bail in the sum of N300,000 with two sureties in like sum. He was remanded in prison custody pending when he will perfect his bail condition. The matter has been adjourned till 28 February, 2018, for trial.  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |
| Soldiers Arrest Native Doctor Who Makes Charms For Gana, The Notorious Criminal Posted: 31 Jan 2018 03:11 AM PST  A statement by Brig.-Gen Sani Usman, the Director of Army Public Relations, on Tuesday, said the suspect was picked up in Tor-Dunga town in Katsina-Ala area of the state during a raid on his shrine. Usman said troops of 707 Special Forces Brigade arrested Gber on Monday during the operation. It will be recalled that Terwase was declared wanted by the security agencies and has been at large since 2016. "Preliminary investigation shows that Tordue Gber (Tiv Swem) acts as spiritual counselor that provides Gana with "diabolical" powers and the shrine serves as hideout for wanted armed militia, meeting and planning point for operations and logistics base for the criminal armed militias that operate in Benue, Nasarawa and Taraba States. "The native doctor was arrested along with one of his accomplice, Atoo Kuwe Francis, while planning to carry out an attack and abduct one Mr. Zaya at Tse Bente village in the same local government area," he said. The army spokesman, however, said Tordue was shot dead "during the struggle to disarm him." Usman said the troops recovered a locally fabricated pistol, two baretta Pistols, 11 rounds of 9mm ammunition, three motorcycles and assorted charms from the shrine Other items recovered, he said, include clothings for concealing weapons, two mobile telephones and three power generators, amongst other items at the hideout.  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |
| 2 Nigerians Executed In Saudi Arabia For Drug Trafficking Posted: 31 Jan 2018 02:41 AM PST  Nearly four months after a Nigerian was executed in Saudi Arabia for alleged drug-related offence, two more countrymen have been killed in a similar manner, sending fears to no fewer than 15 others being detained in parts of the Middle East country. Prison Sources in Saudi Arabia confirmed to Vanguard that the two Nigerians, whose names have been given as Ibrahim Ciroma and Maimidu Issah, all from the Northern part of Nigeria, were executed last week. The prison source said that while one was brutally terminated on Tuesday, the other Nigerian faced the hangman's noose on Thursday. The summary execution of the two Nigerians came nearly two weeks after a prison source in Medina leaked the names of 15 Nigerians, who are currently on death row at the Medina Prison, awaiting the long knife any moment from now. Vanguard had on January 13 this year, published a Save-Our-Soul letter despatched by the embattled Nigerians awaiting execution in Riyadh to President Muhammadu Buhari and pleaded with him to intervene and save their lives by repatriating them home to serve their jail terms in their father land or be killed at home and given decent burials instead of being killed as cows in a foreign land. In response, the Federal Government, through the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, affirmed the determination of the government to wade into the matter and save the lives of the imprisoned Nigerians in Saudi Arabia. The Minister promised to dispatch officials from the Nigerian Embassy in Riyadh to liaise with their Saudi counterparts so as to prevent the inmates from being executed. ''The Minister of Foreign Affairs has directed the Nigerian Mission in Riyadh to look into the detained suspects' case urgently," the Spokesman for the Ministry, Dr. Tope Adeleye Elias-Fatile, said in response to Saturday Vanguard's enquiry on the matter. "The Nigerian Government will continue to engage the Saudi authorities in negotiations so that they will not be executed," the Foreign Ministry assured. However, more than two weeks after the report was made to the Nigerian Government and with no action coming from Abuja, the additional two Nigerians drug suspects were sent to their early graves. It was learnt that following the directive of the Federal Government to the embassy in Riyadh to intervene and save the troubled Nigerians from death row, the Nigerian embassy simply requested for the file numbers of the inmates from the prison officials and nothing else was done about it. One of the suspects told Vanguard that an indication that more of the detainees might be executed any moment from now was that their files had been removed from the prison in Medina and its computer system. "For your information, the removal of the inmate files from the system in Saudi means that the affected persons could be summarily executed any moment from now. Please plead with President Buhari and the government of Nigeria to save us from being killed this wicked way. Delay is dangerous," the suspect pleaded.  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |
