Notorious Burglary Gang Arrested In Ikoyi, Lagos

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested six
suspected burglars in the Ikoyi area of the state, while
trying to share their loot.
The suspects were identified as Friday Eze, Stanley Ejiofor,
Femi Miracle, Raphael Ijoha, Emmanuel Omojuwa and
Daniel Thomas.
The police said the gang, which was notorious for breaking
into houses and stealing valuables, were nabbed on August
9 but had other members who escaped arrest.
It was learnt that around 10pm, the gang members
allegedly burgled some houses on Awolowo Road, Ikoyi,
and drove away in a car to a junction in the area to share
the loot.
A source said operatives, who were on patrol, observed the
suspects sharing the stolen items in the car and arrested
them.
He said, “They are notorious in the Ikoyi area for burglary.
They don’t rob to avoid raising suspicion. They only wait
for their target houses to be deserted before they strike.
“We were on a ‘stop-and-search’ in the area when we
observed them sharing some goods inside a car around
10pm. When we arrested them and searched the car, we
found four laptops, three purses, 13 mobile phones and four
iPads. They confessed that they were returning from an
operation. The six of them have been transferred to the
Special Anti-Robery Squad, Ikeja.”
One of the suspects, Eze, a father of two, said he went into
burglary to make ends meet.
He said, “It was frustration that drove me into burglary. The
situation was very critical for me and my family. I have a
wife and two kids to cater to. I am not the gang leader. A
friend brought all these men for the operation. We stole
several laptops. I took two laptops and two iPads. I have
gone for only two operations.
“I was formerly living in Lekki with my family. But when
things became difficult, my in-laws took my wife and
children to Ikorodu. I am the firstborn of my parents. My
sisters have been sent out of school and I have to fund their
studies.”
Another suspect, Thomas, said, “Friday (Eze) introduced
me to the gang. We are friends. I do not rob; I only burgle
houses. It was hard times that led me to this.”
The state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, said the
suspects would be charged to court at the end of
investigation.
“Members of the public should continue to cooperate with
the police in tackling crimes in Lagos State. The suspects
will be arraigned in court at the end of investigation,” he

I Never Planned To Be A Polygamist, I Regret Marrying More Than One Wife; Jide Kosoko Confesses

Nollywood icon, Jide Kosoko, has shared his greatest
regrets in life which he attributed to being a polygamist.
The actor, married to four wives, three of whom are dead,
said he does not wish his enemy practice polygamy.
In a chat with the Punch, the 62-year-old veteran actor,
who has over 12 children, spoke on the things he didn’t do
rightly.
He said, “Let me say this today for the first time, from the
beginning of my life I never planned to be a polygamist. I
found myself in that situation and I had to adjust to the
system. I didn’t set out in life to go into polygamy.
“I was never designed to have more than one. My major
regret in life is that I went into polygamy. I regret it,” he
stressed.
“Let me tell you, I don’t pray that my enemy should
practice polygamy. And, this should be a lesson to the
young ones coming. I know some people will say their
religion permits it, but the religion did not enforce it. I have
serious business to do now. I have young children to take
care of.”
The actor said he wished God could reduce his age to 10
because he has many corrections to make.

Asked if he would love to have more children, he said,
“That will be madness. Stage madness. Apart from age, if
you hear that Jide Kosoko welcomes new baby tomorrow, I
am sure you will say this man is mad.
“Am I going to be selling the children to make money?”

Man Assumed Dead Wakes Up At His Own Burial

The 23-year-old man from India, named as Sandeep, was
attacked while collecting wood from the forest. While the young man was presumed to have died
after being bitten by a snake rose up from the funeral
pyre at the moment it was set on fire.

When he arrived back in his village in the Raisen
district of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, he told
his family about the snake bite.
Instead of taking Sandeep to a hospital, they brought
him to a traditional tantric practitioner in a nearby
village.
But the tantric’s treatment proved ineffective and it was
assumed the young man had passed away.
Villagers were left baffled at what to do because some
in India claim that those who die of snake bites should
be buried rather than burned.
In the end it was decided that his body was to be taken
to the local cemetery where a funeral pyre was
prepared.
But when the fire almost reached the body of Sandeep,
the young man started to shout and people realised he
was still alive.
Sandeep was taken to the same tantric practitioner
instead of a hospital after he regained consciousness.

Francis Taiwo, who
starved and chained his 9-year-old son for months, has
been arrested along with Korede’s stepmother, Kehinde, who was also arrested for
allegedly aiding the cruelty meted out to the boy. The 40-year-old pastor was apprehended by

father for his stealing habit.
“It is true that I stole a pot of soup and a bowl of eba in our
house. I also stole in the neighbourhood. My father’s
inability to give money to my stepmother for the upkeep of
the family caused it. When I was chained, my father and
stepmother fed me twice a day. Some days, I was not given
any food. I want to go back to school because I want to be
a doctor in the future. I do not want to go back to my
father’s house,” Korede had said.
Francis, a father of five who hails from Benin Republic,
confessed to the act in his statement to the police, adding
that Korede’s mother was late.
He said, “I was ordained a pastor in the CCC in 2012. I had
divorced two wives, including Korede’s mother, Maria; she
is late now. She had four children for me – two boys and
two girls – before she divorced me in 2007 after she gave
birth to Korede. I chained Korede because he is possessed.
An evil spirit makes him to steal. He needs deliverance. His
siblings are not living with me.”

Evacuate Our Oil Terminals Because It Will Get Dirty Soon; NDA To PENGASSAN And NUPENG

Members of the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA)
have urged members of the National Union of
Petroleum and Natural Gas (NUPENG) and the
Petroleum and Gas Senior Staff Association of
Nigeria (PENGASSAN) to vacate all oil fields
and terminals in the Niger Delta.
The group also asked expatriates to leave too,
vowing that it’s renewed onslaught on oil
facilities “will be dirty very soon.”
Spokesperson of NDA, Brig. Gen. Mudock
Agbinibo, gave the threats in a statement
posted on the group’s website on Wednesday.
“We are warning Nupeng and Pengassan to
leave all oil field and terminals in the Niger
delta because it will be going to be dirty very
soon.
“Foreigners are to leave too,” the NDA
warned.
Agbinibo, who claimed that the militant group
was already winning the war against the
Nigerian state, said it was appalling that every
criminal nabbed by security operatives in the
Niger Delta was being tagged member of the
Avengers.
He described the development, particularly on
the part of the Nigerian Navy and the Nigeria
Army as unprofessional and a means to
continue to fleece the Federal Government of
taxpayers’ money.
“Contrary to local news that Nigeria Navy has
arrested Niger Delta Avengers logistics
supplier is the biggest joker of the
21st century.
“As it now any Tom, Dick and Harry is a
suspect of Niger Delta avengers. Nigeria Navy
has lost the sense of professionalism.
“The Nigeria military arrested school students
in Oporoza and called them the Niger Delta
Avengers, any criminal caught is NDA, even
their Business partners (Illegal Oil bunkers)
with which things went south are NDA, Sea
pirates are now NDA,” he averred.
The militants’ mouth-piece said it was
unfortunate that the Nigerian military has
continued to deny their (NDA’s) dastardly
operations against oil and gas installations,
adding that he personally led the team that
bombed the Qua Iboe Export terminal
belonging to Exxonmobil in Akwa-Ibom last
week.
“When Niger Delta Avengers carries out any
major attack they (Nigeria Military) will deny
it. First? was the NNPC pipeline that was
blown; second the 48-inches Exxonmobil
pipeline that was blown by NDA.
“Mobil and the Government denied it. Only for
Exxonmobil to declare false majeure few days
after the attack.
“We want the general public to know the Qua
Iboe export pipeline is down right now,” he
disclosed.
Agbinibo described the Qua Iboe Export
terminal as a subsidiary of Mobil and the
biggest export stream in Nigeria, adding that
no less than one million barrel of crude oil was
exported every 48 hours.
He advised the leadership of the Nigerian
military to stop deceiving the general public
and President Muhammadu Buhari on the true
state of Avengers’ activities in the region.
“They should come out with the truth in Akwa
Ibom instead of saying Niger Delta Avengers
didn’t blow up their line but system anomaly.
“Shame on the Nigeria Military,” the group
submitted.
The militants boasted that there was no way
the Nigerian military would be able to get at
them, saying very soon, Nigerians and the
Federal Government would soon realize that
NDA was indomitable.
“Reports from our intelligent agent, the only
way funds can be allocated to various
department of the Military is only when they
(Nigeria Military) arrest the Niger Delta
Avengers operatives.
“But soonest, the Nigeria public and their
commander in Chief will now the Military is
not capable to handle the Niger Delta
Avengers.
“How do you explain a military officer having a
house in choice areas in Nigeria and outside
the country? Nigeria serving and retired top
officers are the richest people in Nigeria.
“How do they get such wealth? Right now, they
are using Niger Delta Avengers to defraud the
Nigeria government and tax payers of their
money.
“We want to make this clear, all Niger Delta
Avengers operatives are intact, our intelligent
agencies are all intact and our operative team
are in high spirit because we are winning the
war.

Researchers Says Paracetamol Causes Infertility; Reasons

Experts have warned that a common painkiller could
impair a man’s fertility.
New research suggests that paracetamol, which is
also known as acetaminophen and sold under the
brand name Tylenol in the United States (U.S.) and
Panadol in the United Kingdom (U.K.), has been
linked to infertility.
The findings are published online in Human
Reproduction but was first reported by DailyMailUK
Online.
Couples, where the male partner had high levels of
the drug in his urine took longer to conceive,
according to scientists at the National Institutes of
Health
That was compared to men who had lower levels of
the compound in their system.
Paracetamol is a non-prescription drug widely used
as a pain reliever and to reduce fever.
It is also one of the compounds produced when the
body breaks down aniline, a chemical used to make
rubber, pesticides, and coloring agents used in food,
cosmetics and clothing.
Dr. Melissa Smarr, the study’s first author, from
United States (NIH’s) Eunice Kennedy Shriver
National Institute of Child Health and Human
Development, said: “At this point, our findings need
to be corroborated by future research, and there is
no cause for alarm.’
Smarr explained that the high levels of paracetamol
in the urine of certain men, who participated in the
study, were unlikely to result from taking the
painkillers alone.
The findings, she said, are more consistent with those
seen from environmental exposure, either to aniline
or paracetamol, or a combination of the two.
But, she said, the findings could have implications for
the amount of paracetamol exposure that is deemed
acceptable.
Researchers led by Dr Smarr analyzed data from the
Longitudinal Investigation of Fertility and the
Environment (LIFE) study, established to examine
how lifestyle and exposure to environmental
chemicals may affect fertility.

Amazing: 20 Years Woman Birth 3 Healthy Set Of Twins In 2years

Danesha Couch, from Kansas City in Missouri, gave
birth to THREE sets of twins in just a couple of years

The 20-year-old joked to Fox TV station WDAF :
“People just consider me a freak of nature when I tell
them.”
Explaining that she doesn’t mind the sleepless nights
and piles of laundry, Danesha added: “I love babies.”

Danesha releases two eggs at once, which are both
ready to be fertilised.
This is how she has managed to conceive the miracle
babies without any medical treatment – despite the
odds of doing this being just one in 88,000.
Her eldest child, two-year-old Danarias, is a twin too.
Sadly his brother Desmond died shortly after birth –
due to complications from being born prematurely.
Danesha recalled: “That was a pretty bad time.”

She also has one-year-old twins Delilah and Davina,
and two tiny babies who were born last month.
The youngsters spent three weeks in neo-natal
intensive care, but have now been allowed home to be cared for by their busy mum.
Dr Elizabeth Wickstrom said women of African
heritage are more likely to have multiple sets of twins
Dr Elizabeth Wickstrom, of Shawnee Mission Medical
Center, told WDAF: “But the fact that you’ve ever done it before makes you more likely to do it again.”
Apparently, women of African heritage are more likely to have multiple sets of twins.




Protesting Youths Sets 3 Fulani Communities Ablaze In Plateau State

Youths in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State
yesterday took to the streets brandishing dangerous
weapons and setting ablaze three Fulani communities.
Daily Trust gathered that the unrest was a reaction to the
assassination of the Bokkos community paramount ruler,
Lazarus Agai, the Saf Ron Kulere.

The first class chief, his son, daughter in-law and aide (a
police inspector) were ambushed and killed Monday
evening while they were returning from a farm in Sha
village.
The aggrieved youths yesterday, suspecting that the fatal
attack on the paramount ruler and those with him was
carried out by Fulani herders, burnt the three Fulani
settlements, namely Fokkos, Danan and parts of Kwatas.
The Ardo of Bokkos, Yakubu Dabo Boro, and State Chairman
of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria
(MACBAN), Nuru Muhammad, who spoke to our
correspondent, blamed the burning of Fulani communities to
reports carried by certain media organisations and peace
NGOs that accused Fulani herders of the killing.
Muhammad said men of Operation Safe Haven had
controlled the destructions in Fulani communities but
stressed, “Our homes have been burnt, we have told
security agents that anyone found responsible for this
atrocity whether Fulani or Challa, should face the law.”
The Plateau State Police Public Relations Officer ASP
Tyopev Mathias Terna said investigation into the killing was
on but no arrest had been made.
The representative of Justice Development and Peace
Commission (JDPC) and Islamic Counselling Initiative of
Nigeria (ICIN) in the area, Dan Maren, said insinuations that
the paramount ruler was killed as a result of a tussle over
his seat was not true.
Governor Simon Bako Lalong yesterday said he was pained
by the killing of the traditional ruler and assured citizens
that Government would fish out all enemies of peace in the
state.
Senator Joshua Dariye who represents Plateau-Central in
the National Assembly and who hails from Bokkos, has
called for calm, saying, “It is very confusing and emotions
are running high and nobody has been able to establish a
concrete reason for the killing of this great man. I have been
talking to people to calm down. I can imagine the reaction
from the people; the paramount ruler had been doing all he
could to bring peace to the land.”

EFCC Release More Pictures Of Female ATM Thief Who Disguised Herself And Stole N3m (picture)

The anti-graft agency said, “The Ibadan zonal office of
the EFCC is on the trail of a suspected ATM fraudster,
who goes by the name Akinade Tofunmi. Her trade in
stock is identity theft. Her duty post is any ATM point
and Point of Sales (POS) machines across the
country.


The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has
launched a nationwide manhunt for a woman believed
to be in her 20s, Tofunmi Akinade, who is alleged to
be a serial Automated Teller Machine fraudster and
identity thief.

The EFCC said on its official Facebook page that the
suspect recently stole the ATM card of a woman and
stole over N1m from the account.
The commission said Akinade’s modus operandi was
to stand near ATMs under the guise of helping old or
physically-challenged people to withdraw money only
for her to swap their ATM cards and convert them to
her own use.
The anti-graft agency said the suspect “does not work
during the official hours of the week”, adding that she
operated late in the night when all bank transactions
had closed and preferably at weekends when her
prospective victims might not be able to alert the
banks to their missing ATM cards.
 “In her last operation, within 24 hours, this fraudster
who operates with the identity of her victims
succeeded in racking in about N3m.
“On Friday, June 3, 2016, at about the close of work, a
woman, identified simply as Alhaja and her husband,
who was waiting in the car, wanted to use an ATM
somewhere in Ibadan, Oyo State, when Tofunmi
noticed that the woman limped.
“Pretending to be polite and cultured, she offered to
assist her with the transaction on the ATM. Unaware
of the intention behind the pious approach, she gave
the fraudster her ATM card and divulged her PIN.
“Smartly, the fraudster quickly checked the balance in
the account which had N1, 749, 026.07. After the
intended withdrawal of N20,000, the fraudster
swapped the card and gave Alhaja a fake ATM card.
Oblivious of the swap, she left with her husband.”
The EFCC said before midnight, the fraudster started
withdrawing money from her victim’s account.
It alleged that she withdrew N130,000 and having
exceeded the daily withdrawal limit for that day, she
waited for a few minutes into the following day which
was a Saturday and withdrew another N150,000.
It added that in a desperate attempt to empty the
balance in the account, the suspect went to a night
club where she met a motorcycle rider, popularly
called okada rider, whom she approached for help.
The EFCC added, “She told the okada rider that she
had enough money in her account, but could not
access it having exceeded her daily withdrawal limit.
She showed the okada man her balance and pleaded
with him to give her his ATM card, account details
and PIN for a quick teller transfer from her (Alhaja’s)
account to the okada man’s account.
“With that, she was able to transfer some of Alhaja’s
money in the okada man’s account, thereby stealing
the identity of the unsuspecting okada man.”
The commission said in the early hours of that
Saturday, she asked the okada man to take her to a
hotel with an intention to further steal the identity of
the hotel for another movement of the money.
It added, “At the hotel reception while paying for her
accommodation which was N10,000 for one night,
she deliberately credited the hotel’s account with
N101,000 feigning a mistake and demanded a refund
of N91,000 balance of an overpayment. This was also
done with Alhaja’s ATM card through the POS
machine at the hotel.
“To further conceal her identity, she provided fake
personal details in the hotel and gave the hotel the
okada man’s account detail when the hotel
management requested an account to deposit the
refund.”
The EFCC said the suspect left the hotel and fled to
Ilorin, Kwara State, with Alhaja’s ATM cards.
It said the okada rider had since been arrested and
was helping detectives with investigation.
