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.

MEN AS SILENT VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
BY PATIENCE OGBO
Last weekend, a middle aged man simply identified as Ifeanyi Anasekwe, was allegedly murdered by his wife Chikodile Anaekwe following a fight in their apartment at Ago-Okota .
Mrs Anaekwe allegedly used a pestle to smash her husband's head and when the man was unconscious, she allegedly used a knife to stab him several times all over the body following her husband's alleged inability to provide money for diapers and their baby's food.
Also on February 3rd, Hadiza Abutu , a mother of one was rearrested by the police after she was granted bail by an Abuja court following her alleged role in the death of her husband , Ibrahim Abutu .
The incident happened on December 28th 2011 when Hadizat allegedly murdered her husband at their Parakou Crescent home Abuja barely one day after her husband took a second wife in Gombe state.
Mrs Abutu allegedly used a double barrel gun to shot her husband at close range in the chest following an argument.
Mrs Abutu was subsequently arrested by the police; she however claimed that her husband shot himself.
Despite Mrs Abutu’s claim that she is innocent, her late husband’s family is seeking justice as they maintained that their brother was a victim of domestic violence .
Also
Domestic violence has been viewed in many quarters as a crime against women as the media has reported overwhelming cases of domestic violence against women but very few cases of violence against men .
One of such violence against women that provoked public outcry was the gruesome death of the former Skye bank staff, Titilayo Arowolo 26, a mother of one who was allegedly killed by her husband, Akolade in their home at Isolo last year.
While Titilayo’s death was one of several cases of domestic violence against women ,investigations however reveal that violence against men is on the rise in the country and like the women , men are silent victims of domestic violence; Mr. Abutu’s death is a clear indication and a typical example of domestic violence against men.
Another gruesome case of domestic violence against men was that of Kazeem Ademoye .
Mr. Ademoye until his death was a computer expert allegedly murdered by his wife- Ngozi at their home at Magodo Phase 2, Lagos on September 16th 2011.
In her statement to the police at the Homicide department at Panti Yaba ,Mrs. Ademoye maintained that she killed her husband in self defense adding that her husband had turned into a monster after a fetish incantation in his secret room and had attempted to kill her but she miracously overwhelmed and killed him with a heavy object .
Also in November last year Mr. Daniel Iyamu a SUBEB staff and a popular entertainer in Benin city in Edo state was allegedly killed in his sleep by his wife Grace .
Mr Iyamu was said to be sleeping at their Agonse Street, Ugbihoko residence in Egor North East Local Government council when his wife allegedly used a pestle to smash his head several times killing him instantly.
Mrs Iyamu has since been arraigned but her lawyers are claiming that she is insane.
It can also be recalled that 43-year-old Vincent Omeje, would live each day grateful as he escaped being killed by assassins allegedly sponsored by his wife Chidera in November last year.
Mr. Omeje a trader was attacked in his apartment at No. 10, Awka-Etiti Street, Comfort Obot, Kirikiri, Lagos by a five man gang .
The assassins beat Omeje mercilessly with dangerous weapons and left him for death following allegations from his wife that he was seeking a divorce.
Mr. Omeje survived the attack and reported the incident to the police which led to the arrest of his wife and her brothers as the assassins who attempted to kill him.
Dr. Adeolu Olusode , a medical doctor with the Star Clinic at Ebutte- metta said domestic violence against men is a daily occurrence but such cases are not reported due to the stigma, and male chauvinism .
“Indeed there are cases of domestic violence against women but there is no doubt that men are also experiencing violence from their wives and girlfriends
The issue is that these men do not come out to tell people that they were beaten by their wives or violated by their female lovers; they even hardly tell such things to their friends due to the fact that it is seen as a shame for a man to be beaten up by a woman so due to this many men do not talk about the violence they face at home except the case had become extreme and people found out about it” Dr. Olusodo said .
Dr. Olusodo added that domestic violence is not gender based as both male and female are victims of violence in their homes .
“There have been cases where we have treated men who claimed that the injury was sustained from beating they received from women; the truth is that more women than men experience domestic violence because women are seen as the weaker sex and they can come out to speak about their suffering but a lot of men are also victims of domestic violence” Dr. Olusodo said .
Reports on domestic violence show that women are victims of domestic violence ten times the men and such violence against men by the women folk is usually viewed by experts as violent resistant or what is popularly known as self defence .
In the case of Mrs Ademoye she confessed that her husband would have killed her in his rage but she defended herself.
It is based on the instinct of abused women to defend themselves that Gloria Egbuji the Chief Executive Officer of Crime Victims foundation, a not for profit organization in Lagos state calls on the government to take women’s rights seriously.
According to Egbuji, government has not shown enough resolve in upholding women’s rights and as a result women are left to fight for themselves; a development she said if not checked will lead to multiple violence.
“ A lot of factors contribute to women being violent. When women begin to react violently its shows that they have been pushed to the wall and they have to fight back for their lives—such women would have suffered years of psychological trauma, pent up anger over abuse they have suffered in the hands of the men.
Also envy is another reason for women to become violent ,as she has a husband that is not caring for her but wasting the family resources on other women despite the fact that both the man and the woman worked for the money so such behavior by the men can make the women to become violent .
Mrs Egbuji added that statistics on domestic violence show that violence against men is “ still miniature compared to what men do to women; this is because culture impedes the fight against domestic violence; culture that says women can be seen but cannot be heard, such culture reduces women to men’s object and it is sad that the government and the law enforcement agencies are dominated by the men and so they cannot make or enforce laws that will affect them—that is why you hardly see the court prosecuting men for bigamy” Mrs Ebuji said .
Proffering solutions to the issue of domestic violence, Dr. Oni Fagbouhougbe, a lecturer in the department of Psychology at the University of Lagos said women are becoming more aware of their rights.
“Psychologically, when we look at the structure of our personality, we have the ID, the ego and the super ego. The ID is irrational, aggressive and cannot delay gratification; ego is more pragmatic, while the super ego plays a more superior role in stopping anti-social behaviour
Research has however shown that the ID is prominent in the women than in the men and that is why women are easily deceived and by nature can be irrational; but culture has contributed in controlling and taming the ID in women which teach women to be tolerant and patient; sadly our culture and values have been eroded by westernization , the internet and technology generally played significant roles in creating awareness on women’s rights and our women are now more enlightened than before.”Dr. Fagbouhougbe said.
Dr. Fagbouhougbe urged men to put the needs of the women first and refrain from abusing women’s rights.
“Men must stop taking women for granted this is because our value system has changed and they should know that they do not have monopoly of violence . Also , women need to get counseling to control their ID and other abuse they have suffered which can trigger them to becoming violent , in
