The Lagos State Police Command's unrelentless war against sex offenders
yielded results with the arrest of two sex predators. A statement from
the state police command spokesperson, Chike Oti, says the first case
involving one Mukaila Aliu, 40, of No.17 Peluola Street, Mafoluku,
Oshodi, who took advantage of a 16-year-old physically challenged girl
child (deaf and dumb), more than a year ago, precisely on November 10,
2017 and had been on the run ever since. The said Mukaila Aliu had on
the aforementioned date, at Oshodi, allegedly lured the survivor by
pretending he was going to buy Indomie noodles for her hence she
unsuspectingly followed him to an abandoned shop along Oshodi road where
he defiled her. Although he was caught in the act, he managed to escape
and remained in the hiding until on the 19/11/2018 when he came out of
hiding to challenge a property developer at a site in Oshodi demanding
some fees with menaces from the property owner, claiming to be an
'Omoonile'. He was however identified by one of the workers at the site
as a suspect on the wanted list of the police. The worker sneaked out
and alerted the Divisional Police Officer, Makinde Police Station, who
promptly arrested him and handed him over to the Gender Section of the
Command for further investigation. The second case involves one Chika
Okafor, 39, of No. 3/16 Oketa Street, Mende-Maryland who on 17/10/18,
lured a 15-year-old girl who ran away from home because her mum
threatened to beat her up for losing an important item. He got her into
his car and took her to a beer parlour where he convinced her to take
some liquor. Being her first time to indulge in such habit, the little
girl was completely knocked out after guzzling several bottles of
alcoholic drinks. The suspect, seeing the state of of the survivor, took
her to a hotel at Oshodi. At this point, the little girl whom he had
completely undressed told him to let her be because she is a virgin but
he still went ahead and shaved her pubic hair, deflowered her and went
away with the shaved hair.The following morning being 18/10/2018, the
suspect took her to his friend's place in Maryland and had his way with
her the second time. He thereafter took the survivor in his car and
dropped her at the nearest location to her parents' house.The girl
narrated her ordeal to her mum and she immediately petitioned the state
Commissioner of Police, CP Imohimi Edgal who ordered a manhunt against
the perpetrator. The suspect was however arrested on Saturday, November
24, 2018 by detectives attached to the Gender Unit of the Command.Photo: Two sex predators arrested in Lagos

it remained unclear when the act was committed. Olaoye’s body was
suspended with a clothing material tied to the railing of the staircase.
The Boxer MB 100 brand motorcycle with registration number ADK 210 WS,
brought by the deceased to the office was parked within the building
where the suicide took place. The development triggered panic at the
Secretariat as fellow civil servants trooped out from their offices to
catch a glimpse of the incident. According to Mrs Elizabeth Babalola, an
in-law and confidant, Olaoye, a native of Igogo Ekiti, Moba Local
Government area of the State, came to her around 4.30 pm on Tuesday and

lamenting that his house rent had due and that he could not pay due to
irregular salary payment. He also complained about inability to meet
other financial commitments to his wife’s family.He told me he could
go ahead and do some nasty . He told me clearly that he was tired of
life. I tried to persuade him not to resort to anything nasty. I told
him life is full of ups and downs and that he should just endure, but I
never knew he would end this way” she said. The Executive Secretary of
the Ekiti State Scholarship Board, Mr. Ayo Ajimati, confirmed that the
deceased was a staff of the board before his demise.Photo: 16-year-old house boy arrested for allegedly killing his boss in Edo

A Highly placed Itsekiri chief, Thomas Ereyitomi, has reportedly gone to
pay the brideprice of the first woman in his life, Caroline Okorodudu,
who died a few weeks ago. According to Facebook user, Charles Pemu, who
shared the story online, Ereyitomi and Caroline were live in lovers for
many years when he was still a struggling man and had children. Pemu in
his post said immediately Ereyitomi made money and became wealthy, his
taste in women upgraded and he began to go after other women. He
abandoned his first love, Caroline, and later got married to another
woman. Few weeks ago, Caroline died mysteriously and the Chief decided
he wanted to throw her a huge burial. However, the family of the
deceased said they can only allow him bury their sister if he pays her
bride price. Accroding to Pemu, the chief on Sunday November 25th, led a
delegation of his family members to the home of the deceased to pay
her brideprice so he can bury her as his wife. Read what Pemu wrote on
Facebook belowMedicine After Death as Chief Thomas Ereyitomi finally
paid bride price on the corpse of Madam Caroline Okorodudu, an
honourable act that he should have done when she was alive if only he
weren’t irresponsible: Note that the bride price on the death of Madam
Caroline was paid on Sunday 25th November 2018, in Pa. Roger Okorodudu’s
residence located at Ogiyide. I thought some of his apologetic admirers
and sycophantic loyalist were attacking me by claiming he had earlier
married the lady before he was bestowed upon a chieftaincy in the land?
Well, Madam Caroline Okorodudu can now be addressed as Mrs Caroline
Ereyitomi, a status she was denied when alive but given after her
death.Isn’t this shameful and denigrating to the Itsekiri tradition and
practices that her chief had demonstrated no regard for the Itsekiri
ladies which the non-Itsekiri men in the likes of Theophilus Danjuma who
married Daisy and Bola Ahmed Tinubu who married Remi Otuendon had for
the Itsekiri ladies? Please, if this was done to an Itsekiri by a none
Itsekiri man would the Itsekiris see nothing wrong about it like some
are covering up the action and wickedness of Thomas who is not just an
ordinary citizen but a palace chief that should leave a responsible
legacy for the Itsekiri people to follow?
How
can Thomas Ereyitomi's act be classified? Should Itsekiri call it
wickedness or ignorance on Thomas Ereyitomi part for paying bride price
on the corpse of Caroline Okorodudu to enable him to organise an
elaborate burial ceremony which he didn't organise for her through
marriage or even birthday when she was alive? Please, is this how
heartless some Itsekiri men are towards their women? Is this the
tradition and culture that the palace wants us to practice since is done
by one of the advisers of the current Olu Ikenwoli?Well, it is my
prayer that may this not be the portion of any Itsekiri lady ever again
except the daughters and sisters of those rendering sycophantic services
for Thomas in exchange for stomach infrastructural
empowerment.Itsekiris should know how heartless and wicked is this man
called Thomas that the lady (Caroline Okorodudu) whose bride price has
been paid on her corpse by Thomas did not deserve such humiliation,
disrespect and insult melted on her person by the same man she
sacrificed her all. She was the lady who stood by Thomas when Thomas had
nothing to his name than being a mere street urchin and political thug,
Thomas as at then was living with her in the one room given to her by
her father in her father’s compound at Ekurede community where she was
then selling cooked rice and beans in the morning and evening time just
to feed Thomas during the days when Thomas had nothing.But when Thomas
made billions of naira to the detriment of Ugborodo Community where he
represented as the trust chairman, he then went to secretly paid the
pride price of one Charity who is an Urhobo lady from Abraka while he
abandoned the Itsekiri Caroline Okorodudu in his house located in Ubeji
Community that was built under the supervision of Ayiri Emami back in
the days when Ayiri was still his loyalist. Thomas abandoned this woman
in the house for many years as he relocated his new wife Charity to his
paradise home located in Lagos. Well, that shouldn’t be my business
according to his loyalist because the woman in question is not my
mother, sister or daughter, but how will anyone feel if she had been
their sister, daughter or genuine beloved friend that her husband
abandoned her and never visited her until her death but wanted people to
pay him condolence that he is bereaved when we know he is actually
happy as the death of the lady is another opportunity to host his
campaign team?Itsekiris should ask Chief Thomas the following
questions:(1) Why didn’t he honour the lady that has been therefore for
him when he had nothing by paying her bride price while she was still
alive?(2) Why pay the bride price of a lady he later met after he has
enriched himself to the detriment of Itsekiri development when he has
not paid that of the first lady?(3) Why Abandoned Caroline at his Ubeji
residence but never went to visit until her death.(4) That if he is
aware that the death of Caroline could be as a result of the trauma she
suffered from the fact that despite all her sacrifices, the man (Thomas)
who she sacrificed so much for still humiliated her?Can someone tell me
what was Thomas retaining the lady for when he refused to pay her bride
price when she was alive? Should I say for is for the mere purposes of
girlfriend, baby mama or his housemaid? Mind you, I have not said so but
only asked a question so I can be educated.Itsekiris should know that
it was this very year which she died that Thomas went to pay the bride
price of the other woman and the irony of it was that all Thomas other
women had no atom of regards for her as they kept insulting and calling
names because Thomas has shown his disregards for her.Itsekiris should
know that this act of Thomas is evil as he couldn’t celebrate the lady
when alive now that she is dead he is planning to organised an elaborate
Burial ceremony instead of marriage party where the families and
friends of the late Caroline Okorodudu would have come to jubilate with
her.Itsekiris should be informed that Thomas had a plan of burying the
Itsekiri lady within a week after her death like a nobody because he
wanted to rush it so he can proceed with his political campaign which
seems to him as more important than the death of the woman if not for
the likes of Chief Francis Ujatoli who told him that just cannot happen
as he must stay at home and show the lady some respect. This was why I
mentioned in my first publication that it is hypocritical to pay him
condolence as he is not touched by the death of the woman but rather
happy that she has gone at last so he can face his favourite Charity
woman as a wife who is now seating on the structure built by the late
Caroline. Hmmm, may that Charity of a lady ask God for mercy because the
late woman served a living God and the God heard her cry, for nemesis,
karma and posterity cannot be influenced by man when it is time.I want
to appreciate those amongst the members of the Okorodudu families
especially the likes of Hon Adige Okorodudu, George and Simeon Illuwa
and the others that was bold enough to stand up to the Ereyitomi’s
family sent by Thomas that their sister and daughter is not some piece
of rubbish that is after she has died as result of trauma from the
humiliation melted on her by Thomas, that they now want to pay her bride
price which should have paid when she was still alive, for you guys
proved that not everyone can be bought over with money or whatever
promises but there’s nothing much you guys could do when the so-called
elders of the families led by Pa. Rogers who is the current Olaraja of
Ekurede Community accepted the bride price paid on their dead sister and
daughter which is so humiliating as it translate she was not good
enough for bride price while alive but after she has gone.The excuses
given was that the children of the late woman pleaded and claiming they
are bereaved over the loss of their beloved mother (Caroline) which is
doubted by many who believed that if it’s indeed true that they really
loved their mother, they would have compelled their father (Thomas) to
show regard to their mother when she was still alive by doing the right
thing before going to pay the bride price of Charity (the woman he later
met). But it seems unfortunate as the children were all carried away
and blinded with the wealth coming from their father. Itsekiris should
be informed that majority of the deceased family did not consent the
proposal of Thomas coming to pay the bride price on their late sister
and daughter’s corpse because he (Thomas) wanted to organise an
elaborate burial ceremony for the late Caroline which he never did for
her when alive by paying her bride price or celebrating her
birthday.Well, the condition given to Thomas by the those amongst the
families that was patronised is that the lady must be buried in the
Ubeji residence and not on her own land which Thomas accepted, but what
the Okorodudu family is not aware of is that Thomas has already
abandoned her at that Ubeji house long ago so that condition actually
cost him nothing if compared to the heaven he gave to his Charity of a
wife to live in Lagos state while Caroline suffers depression,
negligence and humiliation back in Warri.The children of the late
Caroline should have in mind that they become accomplices to the cause
of the death of their mother if they do not deal with their father over
what he did to their mother, for if supposing their father (Thomas) had
shown regards to their mother (Caroline) when alive, she wouldn’t have
died by now as the cause of her death could be due to trauma she
suffered from the humiliation, insult, maltreatment from their father.
The children should whip their tears because if they loved their mother
as they are trying to show to the world, they wouldn’t have reasons to
cry today as they would have protected her from the maltreatment and
disrespect which their father and his other wives melted on
her.Itsekiris should know that this act of Thomas Ereyitomi is shameful
and disgrace to the prestige of the kingdom of Iwere and the Itsekiri
people that their chief has shown to them a legacy that the Itsekiri
women that used to be regarded by other tribes should be disrespected
and used as girlfriends and baby mamas when alive because the upcoming
generation are expected to walk on the path created by their elders.
Well, who should we blame if not the likes of Pa. Rogers who is the
current Olaraja of Ekurrede Community that should know better and
encourage good leadership, but went on to accept the bride price of
their late daughter and sister behalf the Okorodudu’s family against the
will of many.Lastly, I’ll advise Itsekiri to ask themselves a very
simple question as “Is Thomas Ereyitomi the same politician that wants
Itsekiris to support his political ambition to represent the Warri
Federal Constituency?What good will a man who had no regard for the same
Itsekiri woman that has been there for him be to humanity if given
another opportunity to represent?To what good will a man like Thomas
Ereyitomi who robbed the developmental funds of Ugborodo people which
could have provided the community with drinking water, healthcare,
electricity, schools and scholarship be to Itsekiri nation and the
people of the Warri Federal Constituency if supported ignorantly to
represent the people at the Federal House of Rep?A man who partook in
most terror and horror against the Itsekiri nation which has caused
pains in the families of the ordinary Itsekiri citizen? Well, I can only
talk, expose the atrocities done against mankind but I cannot force the
sense of freedom on anyone, for slavery and freedom is in the
mindset.We should know that even our Lord God Almighty has to expose the
antics and scheme of Satan in order to prevent His people from becoming
prey of the devil and this is exactly what I’m doing by exposing the
atrocities of dealers in the likes of Thomas Ereyitomi, Emmanuel Eweta
Uduaghan,, Ayiri Emami, and the rest of the gangs parading as leaders,
for my intention is not personal but collective as I cannot turn a blind
eye, give a deaf ear and maintain a dumb lip because I do not want to
be attacked, insulted, mocked or falsely and wrongly accused of
something.Conclusively, it should be made known to Chief Thomas
Ereyitomi, that I’ll not be bothered over whatever accusations that will
be alleged against me through his media dogs that my advocacy towards
the maltreatment of the Itsekiri women which the late Madam Caroline
Okorodudu who has become Mrs Ereyitomi after death became a reference in
my content is politically motivated because I cited issues which
correlated to leadership.As times go by, I pray that may my advocacy
which aimed at the collective protection of all be vindicated.Charles
Eyimofe (Baruch) Pemu.

A South African rape survivor has narrated how her father was made to
pay for raping her over the course of 12 years and impregnating
her. Zizo Apleni, 24, has encouraged women to speak out against gender
violence by using her story as an example. She decided to speak about
her rape ordeal at the start of the 16 Days of Activism Against
Gender-Based Violence. Zizo, who authored the book "My Father Took My
Innocence" said she was raped by her father between 2001 and 2013. She
said she used to visit her father often and she was seven when the first
incident occurred.As I was young, I didn’t know what he was doing was
wrong. I only found out what he was doing after our hostel manager
taught us not to have sex with our boyfriends.When I got home, I told my
father what our hostel manager told us. He started threatening me and
said I should never report it, because no one would believe me.Zizo
obeyed her father and kept silent. It wasn't until she got pregnant in
2013 that her mother became aware of it.She recalled:I told her my
father had been raping me for years. We reported it to the police and he
was bust the same day.I was helped to abort the baby.In 2016, he was
sentenced to 12 years in prison. My mum was very supportive. Photo: Ugandan father drowns his two daughters, takes own life
Police in Mubende District, Uganda, have recovered two bodies of
children allegedly drowned by their father in a water dam before he took
his own life. Authorities identified the girls as Shifa Byamukama, 4,
and Zabaayo Jackline, 2, both residents of Kyakadali village, Bageza
Sub-county in Mubende District. 
Police
also found the body of the victims’ father identified as John Zabayo,
30, lying a few meters from the dam where their bodies were
recovered.Mubende District Police Commander, Mr Martin Okoyo said they
have launched investigations into their death as they wait for
postmortem reports from Mubende Regional Referral Hospital where the
bodies were taken on Tuesday.Mr John Mary Viviane, the LC1 Chairperson
of the village told a reporter that Zabayo had been miserable ever since
his wife separated with him and abandoned the children.“We believe that
Zabayo decided to drown the two children before taking his own life
given what he’s been through. He has had a troubled experience. It is
unfortunate that he did not come to us for advice,” he said.It's unacceptable for APC to forbid aggrieved members from dragging the party to court - President Buhari
President Buhari has stressed that if anyone is displeased with the way
and manner anything has been done, and feels deprived of his/her rights,
then such a person is at liberty to approach the courts for
redress. The president reacted to the position of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) which recently forbade members from dragging the party to
court, the President said:“We can’t deliberately deny people of their
rights. We agreed that party primaries should be conducted either
through direct, indirect or consensus methods, and if anyone feels
unjustly treated in the process, such a person can go to court. The
court should always be the last resort for the dissatisfied. For the
party to outlaw the court process is not acceptable to me.” The APC, in a
decision ascribed to the National Working Committee (NWC) had last week
threatened to punish members across the country who had dragged the
party to court over various issues. According to a statement, “The Party
intends to activate constitutional provisions to penalise such members
as their action is capable of undermining the Party and hurt the Party’s
interest.“We hereby strongly advise such members to withdraw all court
cases, while approaching the appropriate party organs with a view to
resolving any outstanding disputes. In addition to this, aggrieved
members are urged to take full advantage of the reconciliation
committees the Party has put in place.APC members should understand that
as a progressive party that operates on the principle of change, it is
not a matter of choice to keep to the rules.” President Buhari also
advised members to work with the reconciliation committees empanelled
for the six geo-political zones by the APC, and not a purported
Presidential Committee on Reconciliation, stressing that the Party is
the only body authorised to constitute such committees.Emeka Ike slams multiple followers who reacted to his political campaign posts on social media

0121579940 and transfers to Sanfill Nig LTD a/c No. 6001591797 domiciled
in Heritage Bank under the false pretence that the sum was purportedly
transferred from Oluwakemi Esene with email ocsene@chams.com and
lenoidem@chams.com accountant of Chams Nigeria LTD which representation
you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to
section 8(a) of the Advanced Fee Fraud and other related offences act
2006 and punishable under section 1(3) of the same Act.”The defendant
pleaded not guilty to the charges. In view of his plea, the Prosecution
counsel, Steve E. Odiase asked for a date for commencement of
trial. Justice Senchi while adjourning the matter to February 26, 2019
admitted the defendant to bail in the sum of One Million Naira with two
sureties in like sum. The sureties, the court ruled, must be residents
of Abuja and must sign an undertaking to provide the defendant on the

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has reacted to a
trending story on social media concerning a purported statement credited
to the media aide of the Kano State governor to the effect that the
Commission got a N10 Million donation from the state government. EFCC
says, 'the story is not falsehood, but a deliberate attempt to malign
the efforts of the Commission in the fight against corruption. For the
records, it is a tradition that the EFCC does not receive donations from
state governors/government or any individual at that'. The EFCC, as a
reputable anti-graft agency is sponsored by federal government through
budgetary allocation and in some cases, foreign organisations in terms
of capacity building.It is true that the Commission, in collaboration
with the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Crimes, ICPC
and the Athletic Federation of Nigeria, AFN and other stakeholders is
organizing the first National Anti-Corruption Marathon.Jacob Onu, the
leader of the National Anti-Corruption Marathon had in the course of his
visit to the Commission a fortnight ago told the Acting Chairman and
his management about the marathon which he said is being planned in
tandem with the International Anti-Corruption Day which usually comes up
on December 9 every year.He said it was aimed at raising national
consciousness on the scourge and danger of corruption to the country and
the need for all and sundry to join hands to eradicate it.It is
therefore very shocking to read of a purported donation of N10 million
to the Commission.The story is not only unfounded but very mischievous.
For the avoidance of doubt, no State governor or some other individual
or group has donated any amount of money to the EFCC to carry out the
Anti-corruption Marathon project or any other project for that matter.SMEDA deputy director, Tunde Osho arraigned for N700m fraud (Photo)
On Monday, November 26, 2018, EFCC arraigned Babatunde Osho, before
Justice Nnamdi Dimgba of the Federal High Court, sitting in Maitama,
Abuja, on a 41-count charge, bordering on forgery, fraudulent
acquisition of properties and money laundering to the tune of N700
million. Osho was arraigned alongside Midset Agro Services Limited, Just
Fair Investment Limited, and Tufik Associates, companies he is
signatories to. The defendant's journey to the dock, started when the
Commission received an intelligence report that Osho, a Deputy Director,
Account and Finance, in Small and Medium Enterprises Development
Agency, SMEDA, allegedly diverted the said money, meant for constituency
projects and awarded same to his personal companies. Further
investigations into the matter revealed that no contracts were executed.
Also, during interrogation, he was asked why the money was diverted
into his account and Osho, who equally owns a Primary and Secondary
School, Royal Field Academy in Ogun State, made available forged
documents to mislead the Commission into believing that the contract was
actually awarded to his companies.One of the counts reads: "That you
Babatunde Osho and Just Fair Investment Limited between April 2017 and
May 2018 in Abuja within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, used
the total sum of N120,700,000 (One Hundred And Twenty Million, Seven
Hundred Thousand Naira) when you ought to have known that the said
N120,700,000 paid into the FCMB Account No. 4342993012 represents
proceeds of unlawful activity of Babatunde Osho to wit: Forgery and
Fraudulent Acquisition of Property and thereby committed an offence
contrary to Section 15 (2) (d) of the Money Laundering Prohibition Act
2011 as amended by Act No. 1 of 2012 and punishable under Section 15 (3)
of the same Act".He pleaded not guilty to all the counts. In view of
his plea, the prosecution counsel, E. E. Iheanacho, prayed the court for
a trial date and for the defendant to be remanded in prison custody.Final year student of Madonna university dies on campus following a brief illness
