Police rescue man from kidnappers hideout as informant awaitS N.2m Xavier Ndah Police detectives attached to the Festac police command have rescued a victim and have arrested nine suspected kidnappers in their bid to collect ransome. It was gathered that police swooped on the men, just as they were threatening to terminate the life of their victim should he fail to produce a N10 million. However, while the kidnappers were waiting for the money mother luck made the victim identified as Arinze Igboba, as he found a piece of paper which he wrote a note and threw it into another compound begging for help. In the note Igboba had said that he was being kidnapped and may be killed any moment from that time as he was being held captive in one of the rooms. He asked any receiver of the note to have mercy on him by contacting the police with a promise that if he was being rescued he will pay the informant the sum of N200,000 . Police said Igboba tore the net in his detention room and threw the paper out of the window. His action we gathered yielded positive as a man at a compound close to where he was being detained took the letter to the police where Deputy Superintendent of Police S.P Mukaila from Ojo police station stormed the building located at Iba to rescue the victim while the kidnappers were arrested. However, the kidnappers we gathered are now singing a different tune as they were said to be in a business deal where Igboba has outsmarted them and escaped with the proceeds of the deal. It was gathered that the rescued man was kidnapped to enable him cough out the money he escaped with to enable it be shared accordingly. Another source said the kidnappers had paid Igboba the sum of N10m to enable him facilitate their getting visas to china which never came after several promises. The man was said to have deceived them that his Chairman who is supposed to be his kingpin in the business had been on a trip to China which he said he was waiting for his arrival before they start processing their visas. The men not convinced therefore decided to teach him a lesson of his life as members of the gang which include Tochukwu Okojie, Joel, Miamani Odiz, Evarest Okonkwo, Ikechukwu Obialor, Oforma Uguju and Emeka Ezeyum became fed up with his false stories. In an effort the rescued man we gathered in a bid to pacify them had earlier taken them to Precious Hotel, located at 422 Road, in Festac town and spent N100, 000 on food and drinks for them. It was gathered he was unable to pay his bills and he then offered to leave his car as collateral a decision which the police see as an indication that he also has a case to answer as he was hiding some facts from the police. The men we gathered had after helping themselves with his food and drinks had kidnapped him and took him to a house in Iba estate where he was being kept. The rescued man we gathered was tortured and he was made to signed a cheque of N10M to enable them cash it in the bank while others were waiting for the money. Igboba said he had no money in his account but he was forced to sign the cheque out of fear as they were using hot iron and knife on his genitals. According to him, even when one of them left with the cheque we was saying his final prayers because if they find nothing in his account they might come back to kill him until God gave him the sense which led to his rescue. Dan Okoro, the Area ‘E’ police commander has vowed to pursue the matter to its logical conclusion and has vowed to deal ruthlessly with any hotel proprietors that harbor criminals and kidnappers in their hotels or guest houses. Police we gathered are working on a clue that the gang are kidnappers who had involved in such bid apparently fighting over money Reply Reply to all Forward PATIENCE OGBO Jun 19 to xavier thank you On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 9:34 AM, xavier ndah wrote: --- On Tue, 6/19/12, xavier ndah wrote: From: xavier ndah Subject: POLICE RESCUE KIDNAPPED VICTIM IN LAGOS To: "sam POPOOLA" , "newrooms moment" , "EMEKA IBEMERE" , "sulaimon Alamutu" Date: Tuesday, June 19, 2012, 12:28 PM Police rescue man from kidnappers hideout as informant awaitS N.2mXavier NdahPolice detectives attached to the Festac police command have rescued a victim and have arrested nine suspected kidnappers in their bid to collect ransome.

NDLEA WORRIED OVER NIGERIANS IN FOREIGN PRISONS - GIADE The Chairman/Chief Executive of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Ahmadu Giade has described as worrisome the large numbers of Nigerians in foreign prisons. Giade who spoke at a media briefing in Abuja to commemorate the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Drug Trafficking said that the situation is demand the intervention of stakeholders as most of the drug convicts in foreign countries left the country in search of greener pastures but ended up smuggling drugs and giving the country a bad image. According to the Chairman, the Agency intercepted a total of 66,273kg of narcotics from drug cartels including 113.49kg of high grade heroin imported from Islamabad, Pakistan through the Tincan Island Port in Lagos. According to the Agency, 3,028 suspected drug traffickers were also apprehended while 686 culprits were successfully prosecuted since January 2012. The seized drugs include 64,966.092kg of Cannabis, 1,134.2kg of Psychotropic substances, 131.196kg of Heroin and 42.293kg of Cocaine. Cannabis farm land measuring 141.019 hectares were also destroyed. In addition, the Agency has so far publicly destroyed a total of 20,204.477kg of forfeited narcotics in Ogun, Benue and Kwara States since January 2012. United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) country representative Ms Mariam Sissoko said that the UNODC is partnering with the NDLEA in the fight against illicit drugs in the country. In her words, “the UNODC has a good working relationship with the Agency in tracing precursor chemicals and execution of drug abuse preventive programmes” Sissoko stated. Giade explained that the United Nations has dedicated June 26 to the campaign for a world that is devoid of drug trafficking and abuse. In his words, “this practice dates back to December 7, 1987 when the United Nations General Assembly through resolution 42/112 took the bold initiative. The ultimate goal is to strengthen action and cooperation towards a world free from drug trafficking and abuse. It is our annual flagship event to sensitise members of the public on the hazards of drug abuse and illicit drug trafficking”. The NDLEA Chairman listed the gains of drug control in the country to include United States Government delisting of Nigeria from the Drug Majors List and impressive operational results due to strict drug law enforcement also announced the theme of the celebration. The theme as chosen by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is Global Action for Healthy Communities without Drugs. The Agency also promised not to relent in the drug war. “Our strict compliance with law enforcement procedures has further weakened drug syndicates in the country. The borders will remain impregnable to drug traffickers. Nigeria will continue to win the war against drug barons and the tempo must be sustained. Drug barons must not smile to the bank while humanity is left groaning under the yoke of drug addiction and insecurity” Giade assured. Giade stressed that the battle to make Nigeria drug-free is an all-important fight. “Drug abuse is a problem that cuts across countries. Drug lords always seek to weaken institutions of governments for their selfish reasons. They recruit gullible and material seeking individuals as drug mules. Interestingly, regular arrests and seizures of illicit drugs have kept them under control” the NDLEA boss stated. The Agency noted that the country in the past two years has risen up to a new twist by drug barons following the discoveries of two clandestine laboratories in Lagos. “The trend is worrisome because drug barons now use residential houses for the illegal production of methamphetamine. Already the suspected operators of the drug production laboratories including three (3) Bolivians have been charged to court”. Giade promised to meticulously prosecute all persons arrested in connection with drug trafficking. In his words, “the NDLEA Act empowered the Agency with special powers to coordinate all drug control functions. It also stipulates 15 years minimum and 25 years maximum sentence for unlawful possession of popularly known drugs like Cocaine, Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD), Heroin, Cannabis and similar drugs. All persons arrested will be diligently prosecuted”. The knowledge of the dangers of drug abuse and addiction is crucial. Many people have fallen victim of drug misuse due to ignorance of the effects of drugs. Others were influenced by peers and close associates into taking rash decisions that made them drug addicts. Adequate public enlightenment is vital in attitudinal change campaign. We must discourage demand for drugs in order to render the narcotic trade less lucrative and demoralise drug cartels from drug production and trafficking. Significant progress has been recorded in the infusion of anti-drug abuse education into school curriculum. The Agency has attained 90 percent success in primary and secondary schools while that of tertiary institutions is over 50 percent. Drug addiction has no respect for social status or class. The NDLEA therefore called for collaboration. The weeklong programme of activities includes children/youth talk shows and drama competitions as well as anti-drug rallies. There will also be thanksgiving services in churches and mosques across the country. In addition, there shall be advocacy visits to opinion leaders and traditional leaders. The grand finale will feature public lectures and anti-drug enlightenment programmes on the 26th of June. Highpoint of events at the grand finale will be the public presentation of books on Drug Abuse Prevention and Management in the Workplace, Preventing Children from Abusing Drugs and Helping Drug Dependent Persons to Quit Drugs written a staff of the Agency, Dr. Martin Agwogie Martin.

A robbery suspect Seyi Olumide a resident of Abimbola Street at Igando area of Lagos state is blaming a mysterious power for his involvement in armed robbery. Seyi a graduate of Computer Engineering has been arrested twice for robbery but strangely he said God’s anger is behind his ordeal. ‘ I have gone to pray twice on the mountain, I have even visited several churches with the aim of finding a solution for my stealing habit but each time I find myself going back to the same condition, please I don’t know what to do again’ he lamented. Seyi who looked troubled over his ordeal said he did not have to steal as he can cater for his needs without stealing. ‘This is the second time this has happened to me, first I went for a vigil at Ikorodu and on my way back the following day I saw a Golf car parked, I opened the boot of the car and it dawn on me that the other door keys may as well not been locked. I tried it and discovered that the doors were opened. I tested the ignition with the keys I had in my pocket and the car started so I drove the car home. I used the car for six months, during that period I used the car for commercial purposes I was able to save N48,000 and I rented a room . My wife was not aware that I stole the vehicle ,I told her that it belongs to a friend of mine. I continue using the vehicle I then discovered that there is money in driving and I was aspiring to make more money all these while I never knew that my friends were jealous as they were wandering how I was able to get money to buy a vehicle. One day when I returned from my driving police came to my house and asked for the particulars of the vehicle I was driving and I simply told them the truth that I stole it. It was then that it occurred to me that I had committed an offence honestly it was like a dream to me it is not my wish to do this there is something wrong somewhere. Please I need help’. He said . S was charged to Seyi was charged to court and was granted bail with the father as a surety. Lagos state Police Public Relations Officer Jaiyeoba Joseph said the suspect was supposed to attend a court sitting a day before he was arrested for the same offence. Olumide after the first offence did not stop at that but he fall into another trap with the urge to make more money apparently on the same belief that he was being remote controlled by some forces unknown to him attempted to steal another vehicle from a woman he helped along his street and was again caught and sent back to police cell. He told The Moment that on a particular day along Abimbola street at Igando where he lives met a woman whom he at the end attempted to rob her of her car ‘she had an accident along our street at about 7pm of that day I assisted her to fix her bumper. I took her in that car back home that night. She pleaded with me that in case her husband asked me I should not disclose what happened to him. When we got to her house I parked the car and she requested that I should come the following day being Sunday to pick the vehicle to the panel beater to fix the vehicle which I did same. When I got I took her to the church then she asked her sister to follow me and stay with me in the car to where we went to repair it thereafter I took the car to my house to wash it and took it back to the woman in her church. All these the sister was with me in the car. When the madam came out of the church I took her back to her home. She gave me N1,000 and I went back home ’ he explained . Police said from their interrogation he was monitoring the woman and was playing the role of a good boy unknown to her that she was dealing with a criminal. Joseph said he was arrested when he went to the home of the woman when the occupants were not at home to rob. According to the suspect ‘ I went to the house and there was nobody at home so I entered their house through the ceiling it was there that i saw the key to the entrance of the house . I used it to open the door. When I searched inside their rooms I found the key to the woman’s car in an envelope with the particulars of the car and I took it away. Just as I was leaving, the sister to the woman was coming into the compound he saw me and requested to know what I was holding. When she saw the keys she recognised it and raised an alarm which attracted neighbours that was how I was arrested’ he narrated . Lagos state image maker said the suspect has admitted to the crime and he will again be charged to court.

A corporal attached to the Ifako Police station at Bariga has allegedly kidnapped a 17 years old girl Patience Isabor from her residence at Bariga. The incident happened on Friday February 10th when the said corporal identified as Emmanuel Okoye allegedly fiercely gained entry into Patience home after shooting her elder sister Blessing four times on the cheek and on her hands. Blessing 19, is said to laying critically ill at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) Ikeja after undergoing series of surgery to remove the bullets from her body. Blessing and her sister according to neighbours are dating the said corporal Emmanuel however Emmanuel abruptly broke up with Blessing and proposed to Patience. Mrs. Isabor the mother of the girls had opposed the relationship of her two daughters with Emmanuel. A neighbour who witnessed the incident but requested anonymity said corporal Emmanuel has been a thorn in the flesh of the Isabors as he was said to have dabbled into the girl’s lives dating one of them and then opting for the other at will. “Corporal Emmanuel was dating Blessing the elder sister and their relationship had blossomed over the years but towards the end of last year, corporal Emmanuel dumped Blessing and started dating Patience; their mother was against the relationship but Patience and corporal Emmanuel continued their love until last month when Corporal Emmanuel came to meet Mrs. Isamoh that she should allow him marry Patience Mrs. Isabor objected because she wants Patience to continue her education and she does not trust corporal Emmanuel as he had disappointed her first daughter in the past.” The source said. The source added that corporal Emmanuel defied Patience’s mother and last week Friday he stormed the house with a back bag and his rifle and kidnapped Patience. “Blessing was at home, this was about 7.00pm and their mother was yet to come back home, so that was how corporal Emmanuel forced his way into the house and ordered Patience to follow him, he started dragging her but Blessing said he cannot take Patience away without the permission of their mother and more so, corporal Emmanuel did not tell anybody where he was taking Patience to As they were arguing, corporal Emmanuel brought out his gun and shot Blessing on the cheek and on her hand and then made away with Patience” the source said . One week after, Patience is still missing and nobody knows where Coporal Emmanuel is. The case was reported at the Ifako Police station and the Divisional Police officer of the station is said to have paid Blessing’s bill at LASUTH. A source at the Lagos state police command said the commissioner of police Yakubu Alkali is aware of the incident and has ordered a thorough investigation into the case. “The CP is aware of the case but the police want to keep the matter away from the press so that after twenty one days they can declare corporal Emmanuel a deserter and dismiss him quietly from the police” the source said. It was gathered that family members recovered corporal Emmanuel’s bag and the bullets he used in shooting Blessing and has tendered them as evidence to the DPO.
