Nigerian Man Jailed In South Africa For Armed Robbery by ochallo: 5:31pm On Aug 23, 2012
The South African authorities have jailed a Nigerian man, Ekene Chukwu popularly known as KC for partaking in a recent armed robbery operation that took place some six months ago in Cape Town, South Africa.

According to the information at the disposal of our Correspondent in South Africa, Ekene Chukwu, an indigene of Anambra State, Nigeria, was arrested in Dunoon two weeks ago by the police detectives placed to mount a surveillance on him after a tip off by one of his accomplices.

He was immediately taken to court today where he was sentenced to a six month imprisonment without an option of fine after pleading guilty to all the charges made against him.

According to South African Justice department, the accused person is not a first time offender and this was enough reason to imprison him without being given an option to pay a fine in lieu of his imprisonment.

The department further said that the accused person who got to South Africa in 2006 is a notorious criminal known to be selling hard drugs to people in Cape Town.

He was reportedly jailed for nine months a while ago for the possesion of hard drugs and he was asked to serve the jail term in Pollsmoor, the maximum prison where notorious criminals are kept in Cape Town.

According to the charge sheet obtained by our Correspondent, the police in the area had in January this year arrested a white man whose name is David but popularly known as Devil amongst his friends.

David who refused to mention the names of Ekene Chukwu and other accomplices of his that partook in the crime was charged for armed robbery and got a six month jail term in that same month of January, 2012..

The charge sheet further revealed that it was when David finished his jail term in the early days of August that he decided to tell the police that Ekene Chukwu was part of the crime that had landed him in jail for six months.

Asked by the police why he thought David also known as Devil decided to give him out to the police after spending his jail term, the Nigerian accused person, Ekene Chukwu said that David was furious when he did not meet his share of the loots they got from the operation.

He said that David was thinking that he would meet his share of the loot hence he decided not to mention his name in January as an accomplice in the dastardly crime.

During his arrest two weeks ago, Cape Town police found some hard drugs, guns that were possessed ilegally and a lot of stolen items.

Checks however revealed that Ekene Chukwu was arrested by South African immigration officials at the begining of this month for living in the country ilegally but was let off the hook by the police when they realised that he already has two kids and a wife in South Africa.

Is that how lenient the South African penal code is? A laughable six months imprisonment (possibly with option of fine in some cases) for ARMED robbery? My goodness! Maybe all our armed robbers in Nigeria should relocate at once to South Africa - the rewards would certainly be more, while the risks/punishment are certainly less.

The usual suspects making inane comments again. There are tens of thousands of Umuigbo in South Africa, and you expect ALL to be whiter than white ? You only play into the hands of bigots and South African xenophobes when you make comments like the ones above.

Of course it's 'sexy' stories like these that people intent on mischief highlight and spread about the internet; but you hardly hear of the positive stories of the tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of Igbos in South Africa who are law abiding, eking out a living legitimately and contibuting their quota (i hate that word angry) to the growth of their host country.

Stories of an Igbo man waking up seven days a week, going to his business and paying his taxes as and when due is a tad boring don't you think?

The head of 39-year-old Akinbuyi Ajayi, who was allegedly murdered by his brothers, Omotola and Toye, inside their duplex in FESTAC Town, Lagos, has been recovered. Police detectives from FESTAC Police Station led by Divisional Police Officer, Mr. Mohammed Mu’azu, a Chief Superintendent, found it inside a polythene bag. The hitherto missing head was found just as Sunday Sun was let into the world of the Ajayis said to be natives of Yewa Awori North Local Government Area in Ogun State. Sources revealed that the mother of the Ajayi brothers, two of who have since been arrested for allegedly killing one of their siblings, Akinbuyi, and selling his body parts, died in mysterious circumstances.

Apparently, these IGBO people now hide under the guise of Yoruba names to perpetuate dastardly crimes - thereby giving the very good and blameless Yoruba people a bad name. Sad, isn't it?
