An armed robbery suspect, Yakubu Usman, has lamented that inordinate lust pushed him to join an armed robbery gang, with the intention of raising money to organise a birthday bash for his girlfriend.
Usman, who was one of the five armed robbery suspects arrested recently by the Kogi State Police Command, said in order to prove that he truly loved his girlfriend, he had no option but to join a robbery
syndicate that specialised in robbing banks.
“I was actually pushed to join this deadly gang because of Salamatu, my girlfriend, who is marking her birthday later this month. I wanted to use part of the proceeds to organise a one-in-town birthday bash for her, simply because I wanted to impress her that I am a big boy.
“ You see, I am from a poor home, but I think I could use robbery to cover up my poverty. So, I tried to impress this babe, who actually felt I was one of the big boys in town.
“But, I feel sorry for myself now, that I allowed her lust to bring me to this mess. I now know that life itself has no meaning for a person behind the bars,” he said in tears.
Parading the suspects, the state police commissioner, Emmanuel Ojukwu, said the suspect was only trying to shed crocodile tears, stressing that he was a hardened criminal, who belonged to a gang that specialised in robbing banks. He said that the gang might have been responsible for series of bank robberies in the state.
The CP said on October 6, 2015, he gathered through credible intelligence that a gang of notorious armed robbers were planning to attack a bank in Ayingba and its environs.
He said based on a tip-off, operatives of the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) in the state led by their commander, Ayeni Oluwadare, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), immediately swung into action and invaded their hideout.
He said five of the suspects were arrested while one Emmanuel Ometa, the gang leader, escaped with an AK 47 rifle. He gave the names of those arrested as James Adaje, Godwin Ekeji, Yakubu Usman, Musa Dalisu and Monday Adejoh.
Items recovered included one locally made barreta pistol, one axe, cutlass, some quantity of weeds suspected to be Indian hemp, 11 Sim cards, among others.
In a related development the Police Commissioner also paraded 23 other suspects arrested for armed robbery, illegal gun manufacturing and political thuggery at Ejule, Ofu Local Government Area of the state.
He said six guns, including AK47 rifle, locally made guns, bullet proof vests, charms, ammunitions, weeds suspected to be Indian hemp and a Ford Galaxy bus with registration number Oyo AH 5095 HK were recovered from the hoodlums.
The CP said that all the suspects would be charged to court as soon as the police complete their investigations.
Governor Olusegun Mimiko says plans are almost concluded to ensure cocoa products in Ondo State gain commodity pricing and value at the Stock Exchange Market.
Mimiko said group-farmers will get stock brokers and thus market their products in stock exchange, stressing that the goal of the present administration is to process and brand its cocoa in a globally acceptable way that will in turn produce chocolate that is internationally worthy, hygienic, nourishing and outstanding.
The governor, while speaking at a gala night/dinner organised for participants of the National Defence College NDC), Abuja, Course 24, as part of activities rounding off their week long geo-strategic tour of the state, at the weekend, said his focus since the inception of his government, is to empower the people through the ‘A CARING HEART’ mantra, and invariably motivate them to pay tax.
Fielding questions from the participants at the dinner, Mimiko observed that the state will soon be recognised globally in its cocoa revolution and will in turn assist in repositioning Nigeria to its position in cocoa production among comity of nations.
Meanwhile, the Commandant of the NDC, Rear Admiral Sanni Alabi, who led the team has predicted that insurgency would soon be a thing of the past in the country. To this end, Alabi said the curriculum of the institution has been restructured towards tackling terrorism in the North East. According to him, officers in the institutions are ‘strategically thinking’ on how to end insurgency in the country. The NDC trains officers of colonel and above in the armed forces on strategic issues. Alabi said there were being trained to be strategic thinkers and one of the mandates in ending insurgency in the country. He noted that there are lots of programmes being put together and this geo-strategic tour of the state on Internally.
The state deputy governor, Alhaji Lasisi Oluboyo, who received the team in his office on behalf of the governor, commended the military for its efforts and professional manner in the fight against insurgency in the country.
Nollywood movie producer/critic Charles Novia has penned down an article in which he sarcastically says he thinks billionaire blogger Linda made a 'mistake' allowing her sister announce her N800 million naira mansion on Instagram cos the Nigerian tax authorities are not going to spare her come next year. In the same article, he talked about Linda's haters who suddenly seem to remember that she’s single whenever she displays a new acquisition.
Trust Charles to speak his mind without caring whose ox is gored when it really matters. Lol. Cynthia Morgan's recent drama with Caroline Danjuma wasn't left out too. Very interesting piece. Please read:
‘Ol’Boy, there you are! It’s been a long time I saw you in this joint. What’s been happening?’
‘Ah, My Friend! Like the Holy Book says in the Book of Lot, I have been moving up and down the earth but not with any intention to cause harm or mischief but to see beyond the veils’
‘Well , sit down and have a drink. You look harassed like Rotimi Amaechi before a hostile screening committee’
‘I can safely tell you that I am not like him. He’s a power monger, a dreg of a political dysfunction who must be in power to live; at least that’s the way I see him. In a way, his political visibility reminds me much of how our local music and Nollywood acts obnoxiously fall over themselves to be seen as relevant. We have discussed this before, haven’t we?
The below par hype, the sometimes stomach- churning instagram pictures of aging pancaked faces or the unintelligible heiroglyphics these celebrities write with; showcasing their stunted grasp of spellings and grammar while hiding under the excuses of such spellings being acceptable as social media language’
‘You have started again with these your Professorial postulations. But I feel you though on the social media hype of the artists, especially the latest one I just read about a few minutes ago about Cynthia Morgan’s stunt with a baby and Caroline Danjuma’s upbraid about it’s vulgarity’
‘Dude, leave the grammar to me please. Don’t spoil my market. As for that which you just mentioned, nothing really amazes me about how shallow we all have become in allowing ourselves to be sucked into the swirling waters of sordidness in which these two bit acts sometimes swim.
It’s just like that Skibii fellow, who I am still convinced faked his own death just to trend and ended up popping unpaid champagnes in Harrysong’s hit song. That’s how this Cynthia Morgan stunt with the baby is to me; very distasteful and lacking in decorum. Caroline did have a point though when she reacted that a vibrant child welfare agency in Nigeria should sanction Cynthia over that posture.
And Caroline reacted as a mother should; any sane mother who has given birth to kids and who love kids would react that way. It is a milk of natural pain which flows in that reaction; not the milk of a suspicious doped-up riposte which Cynthia gave. You see what I mean when I say these artistes sometimes suck us into their nefarious whims?
Because Ccaroline reacted, an uncouth Cynthia immediately found what she was looking for; an avenue to trend and a leeway to lamely explain the obtuse concept behind her smoking a ‘photoshopped’ cigar whilst holding a cigar. Of all the silly excuses I have heard in this industry over stunts, this one comes second; after Skiibii’s ”
‘But couldn’t one argue that it’s Art? I mean, she might have a point about drawing attention to the plight of the child with that picture’
‘Rubbish! She actually has drawn more attention to puerility of her intellect and art than to any child. Pictures speak a thousand words or more and that picture was horrible, distasteful , improper, rascally, insensitive and the height of a woman’s apathy for the future of a child. That child will grow up in future seeing that cigar as a symbol of his or her existence. It is psychological.
That picture alone could make that kid a chain smoker in future; could make many lost youth
