http://www.today.ng/metro/ndlea-destroys-another-43-hectare-cannabis-plantation-in-oyo-state/ The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on Thursday called on the Oyo State Government to partner with it in curbing illegal cannabis planting in the state. The NDLEA Commander in the state, Mrs Faboyede Omolade, made the call while addressing newsmen at the Seriki Gambari Forest Reserve in Oluyole Local Government Area. The agency, in a five-hour joint operation, destroyed a 43-hectare cannabis plantation at the forest reserve. NAN reports that no arrest was made. The exercise was conducted by operatives from the NDLEA, Nigeria Police and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC). Others included operatives of the Department of State Security Services (DSS) as well as officials of the Oyo State Ministry of Natural Resources and Forest Reserve. NAN recalls that NDLEA had on June 11 raided the same forest reserve and destroyed 24 hectares of cannabis plantation. The NDLEA boss said: “In order to achieve our goal of tackling drug trafficking and cannabis cultivation we need to partner with the state government. “We were here last week and it is shocking to discover another 43 hectares of cannabis and from what we are looking at, it can extend to about 2,000 hectares. “If the state government bring investors to cultivate the land for agricultural purposes, it will be occupied and it will also serve as a means of empowering youths for employment. The commander said that if more youths were engaged, there would be a reduction in illegal activities. According to her, the forest reserve covers about 11, 000 hectares and agricultural activities will ensure that the forest is not destroyed further. “We are not relenting in our efforts and we intend to strategise the more while hoping that we get assistance from our foreign partners,” she said. |

The Ogun State Police Command has uncovered
another suspected ritual killers’ den in Unity and
Peace Estate along Itele-Lafenwa Road, Ota in the
Ado Odo-Ota Local Government Area.
The latest discovery was made possible by the escape
of a 28-year-old lady, who had been kept in an
uncompleted building in the estate, bound hands and
feet.
The lady was said to have been abducted,
blindfolded, gagged and dumped in the den. She was
reportedly told by her captors that they would come
for her in the night on Wednesday.
But she was said to have struggled to free herself
and rolled towards the entrance of the building.
It was learnt that some passersby in the area saw her
and came to her rescue.
Policemen from the Itele Police Station, who were
later invited to the scene, were said to have
cordoned off the area.
When the policemen combed the surroundings of
the uncompleted building, decomposing bodies of
two female victims were said to have been found.
Suspected bones of other victims also littered the
place.
The lady told PUNCH Metro that she had met one of
her captors two weeks before the incident, and they
started a relationship.
She explained that the man called her on Monday
that he had secured a contract of N1.5m for her at a
site in the estate. She added that the man told her
that she would supply bags of cement worth that
amount.
The victim said on getting to the site, the lover, was
joined by another person, who abducted her.
She said, “I met one of the ritual killers about two
weeks ago and we started a relationship. The guy told
me that he was a contractor and promised to link me
up with people who would give me juicy contracts.
“The man called me two days ago and told me about
a contract worth about N1.5m, but I could not meet
him because I was sick. The man later came to my
residence in Lagos and still persuaded me to come
for the deal.
“On getting to the Unity and Peace Estate, we headed
for an uncompleted building. One other person
joined us. When we got to the building, I saw that the
house had been plastered and the floor had been
cemented.
“But both of them pounced on me, beat me up and
attempted to rape me. I was having my monthly flow
and that dissuaded them.
“They then tied my hands and legs, blindfolded and
gagged me. They promised to come back at night to
complete their assignment. It was a miracle that
passers-by rescued me.”
Some residents of the community, who spoke with
journalists, said they were startled at the discovery.
Some of them claimed that they always smelt some
unpleasant odour from the area, but believed it
emanated from a poultry farm nearby.
It was gathered that the policemen had arrested the
owner of the building, while the suspected ritual
killers had fled.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa
Adejobi, confirmed the incident.
He said two decomposing bodies and some human
skeletons were recovered from the scene.
He said, “The command has taken over the building
and our men will take some samples from the scene
for forensic analysis to assist in investigation.”

www.naij.com/455331-police-discover-ritual-den-arrest-five-in-ondo.html According to a report by Vanguard, men attached to the state police command have discovered a hideout where suspected ritual killers keep their victims. The police arrested five persons in the process and investigation shows that the alleged killers had been using the hideout to slaughter their victim’s after been kidnapped. Addressing newsmen, Baale of the Ago Oyinbo, chief Moyebi Okeowo, disclosed that the suspected ritual killers started using the house since 2012. Ritual Den in Ago Oyinbo Communi, Okitipupa Local Government Area, Ondo State Chief Okeowo said the suspects came to him under pretence that they wanted a location to shoot a movie. READ ALSO: 22 Die In Rivers After Taking Local Gin He said:“They came to me to beg for a piece of land to shoot their film. I told them I was not the owner of the land and I took them to the brother of the landlord of the land who then took them to the wife of the landlord in Akure. “I learnt they were authorised by the wife of the landlord to use the land and since then they have been using the land. I told their leader to go and report their activities to the police and he later informed me that he had done so.” According to Okeowo, he was unaware of the activities of the suspects until last Monday when he was told that the suspects were slaughtering human beings on the land. READ ALSO: Money Ritual: Herbalist, Prophetess Dupe 2 Bankers It was gathered that the youths of the community reported the activities going on in the said hideout to the police. Afterwards, they stormed the village and destroyed the building. However, the state police spokesman, Wole Ogodo, said he has no knowledge about the incident. There have been strange occurrence of ritual cases in Nigeria as only recently, Demilade Osholonge, accused his parents of engaging in occultism which he alleged was behind the many spiritual attacks he had been experiencing since he was 17.

As the uproar over the discovery of a kidnappers den at Soka community in Oluyole Local Government Area of Ibadan the Oyo State capital southwest Nigeria is yet to die down, the state police command has confirmed the arrest of thirteen suspected ritual killers in connection with the gruesome act. Police Public Relation Officer Superintendent Olabisi Okunwobi Ilobamafor told AIT that the Inspector General of Police Mohammed Abubakar has sent five detectives and one pathologist to assist the command in fishing out perpetrators of the act. Many of our thick forests are being used as slaughterhouse where human beings are being butchered for ritual purposes. The Soka community incident in Ibadan brings to mind the Okija shrine saga. The discovery of Soka, where over a thousand people have been killed by kidnappers was said to have been made when some people who were looking for their missing family members stumbled on the building at Soka, in an underdeveloped part of the community. The most surprising is on the road that leads to the killers hide out, there are foreign companies who on a daily basis operate and transact business. Shortly after the discovery, Police made some arrest and in that process, eight people were rescued. During the rescue mission however, one woman dropped dead. Speaking on the matter, Olabisi Okunwobi Ilobamafor said, “We made six arrest that day and we are taking the case to the state criminal investigation department for further investigation. Those that were rescued at Adoayo are receiving treatment while investigation is on going as it relates to the matter on ground”. The state Governor Abiola Ajimobi and Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of zone 11; Femi Omolaja was accompanied to the place by the state Commissioner of Police said justice will prevail. Governor Ajimobi who was shocked by the discovery said, “It is surprising that such a thing existed here for a long time”. Femi Omolaja added that, “All those connected with this crime were arrested and will be prosecuted in the law court”. Very close to this building is a tree that houses white birds which probably feast on the remains of the dead bodies with flies everywhere and odour that cannot be contained. The area is guarded round the clock by Anti Terrorism Section, armored personnel carrier and vigilant police officers. The building, which housed the kidnappers, is yet to be brought down as investigators are still searching for remains of those who may have been killed by the kidnappers. However, residents of the area are indefensible to claim ignorance of the activities of the kidnappers. advertisement Previous: Fulani herdsmen and farmers agree to lay down their arms Next: Bayelsa U www.aitonline.tv/post-ibadan_ritual_den__police_to_intensify_efforts_to_catch_perpetrators 1 Like |

police • Relatives besiege hideout in search of missing kinsmen By Ademola Babalola The police in Oyo State have arrested seven persons in connection with the discovery of a kidnappers' den at Soka area on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. The den, located in Oluyole Local Government Area of the state, and littered with severed human parts of scores of yet-to-be identified victims of ritual killers, was discovered on Saturday. No fewer than 20 decomposed bodies were discovered while about 23 people, comprising 18 males and five females who were looking gaunt, were found with their legs manacled at an uncompleted building in the den. One of the women was said to have been delivered of a baby early yesterday, but the infant was sold. The woman was brought out of the bush with bloodstains on her body. She could not tell anyone how she got to the place, before she fainted after uttering some words. It was gathered that the den was where human parts were freely sold to people who often come to the area at night. The police yesterday confirmed the arrest of seven persons in connection with the discovery of human parts in the bush. Those arrested were two persons found in the building and five security personnel working in a nearby company. A statement by the police spokesman, Bisi Ilobanafor, a Superintendent of Police (SP), said the State Criminal Investigation Department had begun investigation into the incident. She explained that a group of 100 area boys had invaded the area in search of two missing cyclists when they discovered an uncompleted building where some persons were found. They also found decayed corpses and skeletons in a nearby bush while one Abideen Akanmu who claimed to have been employed by one Gbadamosi, now at large, was arrested in the building. She said those arrested were being charged with murder and unlawful possession of firearms while the destitute rescued from the building had been taken to a hospital for treatment. Corpses found have also been deposited at the morgue. Items recovered from the building were three dane guns, three single barrel guns, one bow, 16 arrows, 22 cutlasses, 40 live cartridges, seven knives, an axe, two iron files and a phone. Meanwhile, relatives of missing persons have stormed the area in search of their lost ones following reports that there were still some people hidden in the dungeon, crying for help. However, other people came to get a glimpse of the gory sight of decomposed bodies and human skeletons. One of those who visited the place, who gave his name as Kolawole Falana, said he came looking for one Dare, 18, who had been declared missing for about a week. He explained that he joined in the search for Dare yesterday only for security agents stationed in the area to descend on him for no just cause. Falana, who had some bruises on his face as a result of the manhandling by the police, called on the state government to move to the site and demolish all the structures there to safeguard the public. All the way from Gbongan in Osun State also came two men who said they came looking for their 95- year-old father, Isaac Adeoye Oguntade, who had been missing since December 31, 2013. They explained that Oguntade, a retired teacher, had left home for Osogbo to collect his pension from a bank but had not returned since then. www.thisdaylive.com/articles/police-arrest-seven-in-ibadan-over-unearthed-body-parts-at-kidnappers-den/174422/ 1 Like |

Nigerian Actress Arrested With
Cocaine, Wunmi Says Drug Dealers
Forced Her To Take Okro Pills
May 4, 2015 – Nollywood Yoruba Actress Arrested
With Cocaine Drug In 2007, Yetunde Wunmi Says
Drug Dealers Forced Her To Take Pills With Okro
Popular Yoruba actress Akinwande Taiwo Hassanat
aka Yetunde Wunmi who got arrested with Cocaine
drugs back in 2007 is yet to forget her bitter
experience.
In an exclusive chat with City People Magazine, the
actress narrated how her first husband sent her
packing when she joined Nollywood. The actress also
narrated her adventure into the drug business.
See interview excerpts:
How did you join the movie industry?
I started through my boss, Mr Sunday Akinola, fondly
called Mogaji Feyokogbon. that was in 1981. Then I
was 20 years old. There were no home video then, it
was just stage play and he owned a theatre group in
ipaja.
What were the challenges you faced when you
started?
My husband didn’t like it. We had four kids but we
lost one. So he told me to make a choice between
him and acting. After much begging as I couldn’t let
go of my passion for acting, he threw me out. I left
and rented a room apartment with my kids.
Did you try marriage again?
Yes I did. He also didn’t like me acting. It took
intervention of people before he allowed me back
into acting.
Is any of your kids acting as well?
Yes, my first child. She’s 38 and she acted in my first
film after the cocaine saga.
How were you lured into cocaine business?
I was introduced by a friend. Then acting was no
longer lucrative, she told me to do it and the money
she told me I will collect was huge, not thinking of
the consequences, I decided to give it a try. God
loves me, maybe if I was successful maybe I would
have continued. I haven’t even left the airport before
I was arrested
How did it happen?
I swallowed the pills with Okro. The dealer was happy
I swallowed plenty. My heart was strong, when I got
to the airport, they told me I had cocaine in me.
After the scan, I was ordered that I should be
handcuffed. It was then I knew I was in deep shit. I
couldn’t pray for 2days. It was when they took me to
my house that I began to feel remorse. All my kids
fainted on seeing me. They took my car the next day,
newspapers carried the news, so people were
reading. The first statement that came from my
mouth was, God please vindicate me.
How did you know you would be vindicated?
It was from my dreams. I had it three times before
the judgement day, the court room was filled to
brim. I was sentenced to 3years imprisonment or a
fine of N1 million. The money was contributed at the
court room.
Did you see your friends after that day?
No, I didn’t, till date.
Have you missed any opportunity because you
are not educated?
If am opportune to be back to this world, I would
choose education first before marriage. I wasn’t
opportune to go to school, my parents were
separated, and I had to live with my dad’s younger
brother. I missed so many opportunities because of
this, I couldn’t act in Papa Ajasco and many other
film.
The actress excreted 92 wraps of Cocaine pills hours
after her arrest.

ans of popular Nigerian
actress Hassanat Taiwo
Akinwande are still shocked by
her fall from grace.
The star of Nigeria's film
industry, known as Nollywood,
appeared in court last week
charged with trying to smuggle
drugs to the UK.
Some of them say they will now
boycott films she has starred in
"because she has disgraced her
fans and country".
Miss Akinwande, who uses the
stage name Wunmi, was arrested
in September by officials of the
Nigerian National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency while trying
to get on board a London-bound
Virgin Atlantic flight from Lagos.
After a few days in detention Wunmi, who is famous
for her roles in Nigerian movies that preach
morality, had excreted 92 wraps of high-quality
cocaine weighing in at 1.214 kg, according to the
prosecution.
Reaction
"I am really disappointed in her," Jide Osinowo, a
taxi driver in Abuja told the BBC.
"I and my family used to watch
her films because they taught
children lessons about how to
grow up and become
responsible citizens and now
this! I even heard that she was crying in the court and
saying she was not guilty. Well, we shall see."
"With this whole cocaine business, I have no reason
whatsoever to watch any of her movies," Nollywood
film buff Sola told the BBC.
But some of Wunmi's fans are sympathetic.
"It's the work of the devil," Kemi Makoju, a self-
confessed Wunmi fan said at a video rental store in
Abuja.
"She is not the kind of person to do something like
this. I'm not going to stop watching her films just
because of this small thing."
Disrepute
Wunmi's colleagues in Africa's fastest-growing film
industry were not so sympathetic.
Following her arrest, the
Association of Nigerian Theatre
Practitioners quickly suspended
Wunmi from its ranks saying her
conduct had brought the industry
into disrepute.
Wunmi's fans and fellow actors
now appear to be avoiding her.
When she was charged before
Lagos high court last week, her
fans and colleagues
uncharacteristically avoided the court premises.
Abandoned and alone, Wunmi wept freely and told
the judge she did not speak any English.
Her confession was greeted with subdued sniggers
from the gallery who clearly thought Wunmi had
taken her acting to the court room.
"Mi o jebi, sir" - Yoruba for 'I'm not guilty, sir' - she
responded when the one-count charge of illegal drug
possession was read to her.
Pioneer
Wunmi, a single mother of two was a Nollywood
pioneer with a career that dates back to the 1980s
when she first appeared in a popular Yoruba language
soap opera called Feyi Kogbon, Yoruba for 'Learn
from this'.
She's starred in over 50 low-
budget Nigerian home videos
which are usually shot in six
weeks or less.
One of the Yoruba language
movies Wunmi starred in is
Ajeniyonu, Yoruba for 'making money is a risky
venture.'
It is indeed a big risk Wunmi may have taken, for if
convicted she faces spending the rest of her acting
career in jail.
However, her arrest, ironically, has reportedly led to
a renewed interest in movies she starred in.
"It's a good advert for us because more people are
now asking for her films," Uchenna Obiefuna who
sells pirated CDs and DVDs in Abuja's central Wuse
Market told the BBC.
"Yes, I feel sorry for her, but our people also say one
man's downfall may be the opportunity another is
waiting for to rise."
"No be my fault, na God - it's not my doing, it's
God's," he adds in Nigerian Pidgin English, shrugging.
Nigeria is reputed to be the hub of African drugs
trafficking.
Although marijuana is the only drug cultivated in the
country, Nigerians have been caught in the past
smuggling South American cocaine to Europe and
other parts of Africa.
A recent United Nations report which studied drug
trafficking in West Africa found that Nigerians were
responsible for most of the cocaine smuggled into
the UK by the so-called "stuffers and swallowers" who
swallow drugs wrapped in condoms for later
retrieval.

Nollywood star Baba Suwe beats
drug rap after prison toilet watch
Fans and media follow three weeks of bowel movements,
which produce no evidence that comedian smuggled cocaine
in stomach

Friday 4 November 2011 14.09 GMT
The scene could have been taken from one of the larger-than-
life Nollywood films comedies that made Baba Suwe one of
Nigeria's most popular actors. But a judge was deadly serious
when she asked the comedian, who had spent three weeks in
jail on suspicion of smuggling drugs in his stomach: "So
you've been to the toilet how many times?"
Tens of thousands of fans, the national drug enforcement
agency and two legal teams have been in thrall to the actor's
next release, so to speak. But Suwe's failure produce a single
bag of cocaine in any of the 18 or so bowel movements
detectives have been closely monitoring has turned into an
embarrassment for the agency – and a running joke in the local
media.
Suwe, 58, real name Babatunde Omidina, is often cast as a
goofy security guard in the wildly popular Nigerian film
industry, known as Nollywood. But the roles appeared to have
been reversed when, apparently acting on a tip-off, anti-
narcotics agents arrested the comedian at Lagos airport on 12
October. They said scans revealed "multiple hyper-dense
nodular particles in the upper gastro-intestinal tract, consistent
with large amount of drug ingestion".
Alternatively, according to other officers interviewed by a
newspaper, Suwe's bowel movements were consistent with
overeating a local grain porridge known as garri.
Either way, prosecutors didn't get the discharge they were
expecting. After three weeks of drug-free stools, an
unimpressed judge, Yetunde Idowu, at Lagos high court said
on Friday the actor was free to go with 500,000 naira (£2,000)
bail.
Nigerians following the saga have been full of helpful advice
on TV shows and internet chatrooms, much of it revolving
around preferred laxatives.
Others claim Suwe invoked the same powerful juju as the
nation's most famous musician. In 1974, afrobeat musician
Fela Kuti immortalised his own experience at the hands of the
drug enforcement agency with a now-legendary album. Kuti
was hauled into custody as police waited for evidence of a
planted joint he'd swallowed to avoid detection. Instead, with
the help of his juju abilities – and fellow inmates – Fela went
on to produce a clean sample – and the LP Expensive Shit.
Medical experts suggested Suwe's case was clear-cut.
"Assuming they monitored the samples properly, it's medically
impossible for him to have gone to the toilet that many times
and somehow kept the drugs in him," Lagos-based
gastroenterologist Shola Molemodile said. "Or if the bags
broke and his behaviour somehow wasn't enough evidence, a
blood or urine sample would have been enough."
The case has cast an unflattering spotlight on the agency
tackling drug-smuggling in a nation known as a transit hub for
heroin and cocaine to Europe. "This raises the question of how
many people, who are less famous, are wrongly imprisoned as I
speak," said Suwe's defence counsel, Bamidele Aturu.
Traffickers are increasingly using the poorly policed
shorelines of west Africa as a transit point to Europe as law
agencies crack down hard on drugs rings in Latin America and
Asia. In 2008, 3,655kg of cocaine and about 11,000kg of
heroin were seized by authorities in Nigeria. Drug gangs also
target old or disabled people as recruits less likely to fit
traditional profiles of drugs mules, security officers say. In a
shocking case in 2002, police in New York apprehended a 12-
year-old boy who had swallowed 87 condoms of cocaine
before boarding a flight in Lagos.
The agency has said it will offer an apology to Suwe; Aturu
says his client may sue for defamation. "You don't keep a man
locked up for three weeks and then pretend an apology is
enough. Their officials had bett |

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Nigerian citizen
pleaded guilty on Tuesday to U.S. charges of
providing material support to an al Qaeda
affiliate, and participating in its media and
recruitment campaigns.
Lawal Olaniyi Babafemi, 33, appearing before a
federal judge in Brooklyn, New York, pleaded
guilty to providing material support to a
designated foreign terrorist organization.
The plea came ahead of a July 14 trial date and
followed a Nigerian court's decision in August
to grant a U.S. request for Babafemi's
extradition.
Prosecutors said that, from January 2010 to
August 2011, Babafemi traveled from Nigeria
to Yemen twice to meet with leaders of al
Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, known as
AQAP.
"The defendant traveled to Yemen to put
himself at the disposal of a violent terrorist
organization that has repeatedly demonstrated
its determination to inflict bodily and economic
harm on the United States and its citizens,"
Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch said in a
statement.
The U.S. government said Babafemi worked on
AQAP's media operations, including the
publication of its magazine, called "Inspire."
The group's leadership, including Anwar al-
Awlaki, paid Babafemi almost $9,000 to recruit
English-speaking people from Nigeria,
prosecutors said. Awlaki, a U.S. citizen born in
New Mexico, was killed in a U.S. drone strike in
Yemen in 2011.
An indictment unsealed in February 2013
charged Babafemi, also known as "Ayatollah
Mustapha," with four counts including
conspiracy to provide material support to
AQAP, and use of firearms.
U.S. District Judge John Gleeson scheduled
sentencing for August 27. Babafemi faces a
maximum of 30 years in prison.

Story highlights
NEW: Michael Adebolajo is sentenced to life in
prison for killing UK soldier
NEW: Michael Adebowale is sentenced to at least 45
years in Lee Rigby's death
The pair hit Rigby with a car, hacked him to death
with meat cleaver and knives
Adebolajo, a convert to Islam, indicated he believed
himself a warrior for Allah
Powered by Livefyre
Two men convicted of killing a British soldier on a
London street last year were sentenced Wednesday,
one to life in prison and the other to a minimum of
45 years.
In a brutal attack recorded on closed-circuit TV and
by bystanders, Michael Adebolajo and Michael
Adebowale hit soldier Lee Rigby with a car then
hacked him to death with a meat cleaver and knives
in May 2013.
The Islamic converts, through testimony or their
lawyers' arguments in court, indicated they killed
Rigby for Allah. Cellphone footage replayed at the
trial showed Adebolajo, still clutching a cleaver in his
bloody hands, ranting that the killing was "an eye for
an eye, a tooth for a tooth" for British soldiers killing
Muslims overseas.
They were convicted of murder in December.
Adebolajo will spend life in prison. Adebowale
received a sentence of at least 45 years.
Rigby, who had served in Afghanistan and was off
duty when he was killed at the age of 25, left behind
a wife and a young son.
The prosecution had asked for the maximum
possible sentence: life imprisonment without parole.
But defense lawyers argued Wednesday for leniency.
Barrister David Gottlieb told the court that the
victim was chosen because he was a member of the
armed forces and that no one else was hurt in the
attack.
Prosecutor Sue Hemming said the pair "reveled in
one of the most appalling terrorist murders I have
ever seen."
"Not only was the attack brutal and calculated, it was
also designed to advance extremist views," she said
in a prepared statement. "As a solider, Fusilier Lee
Rigby was targeted in a clear act of revenge,
deliberately carried out in full view of members of
the public for maximum impact."
Family members attended court Wednesday to hear
the sentences handed down.
Outside the court, demonstrators from the English
Defence League, a far-right group, carried signs
calling for capital punishment to be restored. Britain
abolished the death penalty in the 1960s.
'I am a soldier of Allah'
At the trial, the prosecution said that the pair -- both
born and raised in Britain by families of Christian
Nigerian origin -- deliberately attacked an unarmed
man from behind, using a vehicle as a weapon, and
that they murdered him and mutilated his body.
At trial, Adebolajo denied the charges of murder on
the grounds that he had acted from religious
conviction. He converted to Islam in 2002 to 2003,
while at a university.
Adebowale, who did not take the stand, converted to
Islam more recently, in 2008 to 2009.
In court, Adebolajo gave a matter-of-fact account of
his actions. He declared himself a warrior for Allah
and said he saw al Qaeda as his "brothers in Islam."
He testified the only way he knew that Rigby was a
soldier was because of his backpack.
Summing up the case before the jury deliberated,
Judge Nigel Sweeney reminded jurors of what
happened in the 13 minutes between Rigby's body
being dragged into the middle of a road near the
Woolwich barracks and the arrival of police.
The judge also cited details of Adebolajo's police
interview and witness testimony, including that he
loved al Qaeda and that he had tried to cut off
Rigby's head because it was the proper method
under Allah.
When asked at the trial what his defense to the
charge of murder was, Adebolajo said: "I am a
soldier. I am a soldier of Allah."
May: 'Sickening and barbaric'
Though Adebowale did not give evidence at the trial,
his lawyer, Abbas Lakha, echoed Adebolajo's
testimony regarding their intent.
The judge told the jury that the defense's argument
-- that Rigby's killing was an act of war or of
retaliation -- did not apply.
Adebolajo and Adebowale were found not guilty of
attempted murder of a police officer in the case.
The prosecution had argued that when they ran
toward the police vehicle that responded after
Rigby's murder -- with Adebolajo holding a knife and
Adebowale a gun -- they intended to kill an officer.
However, the defense argued that the two men
wanted to be killed by police. The gun was not
loaded.
At the time of the verdict, Home Secretary Theresa
May said the "sickening and barbaric murder" of
Rigby had "united the entire nation in
condemnation."
"Violence and extremism of any kind have absolutely
no place in our society and cannot be justified," she
said.
