Gov’s daughter loses $56,000, car to robbers - As police kill 3 suspected robbers in Ibadan By Adebayo Waheed and Adeolu Adeyemo - 09.03.2009 ONE of the daughters of the Oyo State governor, Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala, was one of those who were dispossessed of their property at the weekend, when armed robbers once again raided the city of Ibadan. The lady, Lamide, according to police sources, reportedly lost the sum of 56,000 dollars (about N9 million four hundred thousand naira) and her car, a Honda 2008 model when she was coming from a party.[/b] In the incidents that took place in Ibadan at the weekend, three suspected robbers were killed by policemen, while three others sustained gunshot injuries. The robbers, the Nigerian Tribune learnt, had been terrorising residents of Oluyole, Alalubosa, Oluwo Nla and Salami estates in Ibadan. Two policemen were gunned down by the bandits in separate incidents. Some residents of Ibadan, who had fallen victims to the rampaging robbers in different operations, commended the gallant policemen who succeeded in killing the gang leader and others for a job well done. The same suspected robbers were alleged to have robbed the Iyalode of Ibadan, Chief Aminat Abiodun and many other important people in the city. While speaking with newsmen at the state police headquarters, Eleyele, Ibadan, the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ralph Ibeazor, said he was particularly happy that the police responded promptly to the distress call and caught the robbers. Confirming the death of two of his men, Ibeazor said, “these robbers had been terrorising residents of Ashi, Ikolaba, and Oluyole areas of Ibadan. It had been very difficult to get them. We are happy that we got them at last. This is one of our biggest catches this year. “We will continue to get them. We lost two officers during a gun duel with the armed bandits. We lost one corporal last night and another one was shot in the head this morning,” Ibeazor said. A policeman, who was said to be on his way to the office, was said to have been killed by the robbers. He said items recovered from them included a Beretta pistol with four handsets. On Sunday, another gang of suspected armed robbers was said to have engaged the police in a gun duel during which two of them were killed, while three of the gangsters sustained injuries, leaving a policeman dead. The robbers, who were said to be operating in a Black Toyota Camry car, had attacked 28 houses in the area. Among the sympathisers that thronged the command where the bodies of the robbers were displayed were some people who had fallen prey to the robbers. Speaking with journalists, Mr. Akanni Adekunle said, “ the robbers had raided more than 28 houses at Salami Estate, Old Bodija. The policemen tried very well.” Another victim who preferred anonymity said, the robbers came to their residence around 7.30 p.m. and dispossessed her of many valuables, including two cars, laptops, jewelry, money, ATM cards and mobile phones. She said, “when the robbers came around 7.30 p.m., they collected the car keys and my jewelry. They asked me to tell them the Personal Identification Number (PIN) of my ATM, sent one of their men to go and collect the money threatening me that if they found out that I gave them fake PIN, they would kill me, my husband and all my children. They withdrew N100,000 from my account.” One of the injured robbers who identified himself as Emmanuel Johnson, said he was lured into robbery by the gang leader named ‘Georgie’. The Secretary to the State Government, Chief Olayiwola Lakojo, who came to the command also confirmed the operation that the robbers carried out yesterday morning. According to the SSG, “I appreciate what the police have done and we have to be grateful to them. They have done excellently well. I was told that it was the same gang that went to rob the Iyalode of Ibadan, Dr. K. K. Oloso and some other people. With this achievement, I believe there will be relative peace in the state.” “We have to salute the courage of the police because in the morning, right inside my quarters at Ikolaba, I was hearing gunshots for upward of two hours. That was why I was unable to go out. I gathered that the police had to use the APC to confront the robbers and that was when they were able to succeed,” Olakojo said. Olakojo disclosed that a committee set up by the government was looking seriously to the purchase of more APC for use in Ibadan city. “If these robbers were able to leave Lagos and by the grace of God, if the government is able to get these APC vehicles, we will also drive them away eventually from Oyo State,” he stated. http://www.tribune.com.ng/09032009/news/news4.html |

*dakobu: I must say that I am very disappointed and saddened to hear that the daughter of a state governor could only come up with a measly 56 thousand US dollars to take along as petty cash for spending at a party. What is the world coming to, and why was the Governor so stingy with his looted money as to release such an embarrassingly trivial amount to his daughter for a night out ? This is an outrage. Even the robbers who thoughtfully relieved the First Daughter of her hard-embezzled cash must have been baffled at the small amount they were able to liberate from their client |

$56,000 in one night?let me multiply it @N142 = N7,952,000.00 only. that is the annual salary of 7 workers who are paid N100,000 per month.it took like 4-5 years for promotion in rank before they could even smell this kind money.sometimes they are not even paid on time. Lamide,don't worry.we are forgiving and brainless Nigerians.our talk is all in vain because only God knows how much you took to the party.i can only imagine how much you are going to carry to your next function.relax,you hear,Oyo govt money is there for you and your family to spend. God bless the Alao-Alakas  you can now see why yahoo boys will never give up their hustle |

You are mixing up 2 different stories together. Maybe you need to go back and re-read. The ATM incident was NOT in any way related to Governor's Akala daughter's story, and if you must know some banks allow you to use your ATM to withdraw up to 100,000 naira in day. There is nothing fishy in that story.
I thought the SSG would provide more details regarding the $56,000 found in possession of the governor's daughter. He needs to confirm Akala's daughter as part of the "robbery" suspect too. She has robbed the entire state while those captured robbers robbed few houses. Sometimes I wonder what the police are doing. They should not only take glory in either killing or capturing of the robbers, they suppose to arrest Akala's daughter promptly as well, but I doubt this very much as the matter will be swept under the carpet. Nigeria we hail thee |

What is a woman doing carting that kind of money around in her car? I want to feel sorry for her but what for now?! How do human beings still cart around such money in such peril? I hope she recovers her car. . . as for the money, I hope they are enjoying the fruits of her stupidity. |

The wind has blown and we have seen the chicken rump. if 9.4million Naira is just a change after a party, how much does the babe have in her account? how many children does the governor have? how many wives? how much does each of them have in their accounts? Then how much does the governor have? This is not funny at all, this has exposed the rate at which the governor is looting the state. EFCC, are you seeing this? or are you waiting for him to finish his tenure before you could act? I WEEP FOR THIS COUNTRY |

Here's the lady's side of the story: http://www.tribune.com.ng/10032009/news/news16.html $56,000: My story - Alao-Akala’s daughter 10.03.2009 DAUGHTER of the Oyo State governor, Mrs. Olamide Alabi, on Monday confirmed that she was attacked by armed robbers recently, but denied that a huge amount of money was taken from her by the hoodlums. Mrs. Alabi, while reacting to a story that she lost $56,000 and a car to robbers, said the incident took place a month ago when she and her husband were coming from an engagement ceremony. She described as falsehood, the aspect of the report that $56,000 was in her possession at the time of the robbery. “The most shameful and painful of this cluster of lies was that I had $56,000 in my possession. “I recall that outrageous sums of money were reported to have been spent on my wedding ceremony, depending on who was writing and from which medium. “But this appears to leave one even more bewildered; how on earth do they expect me to be in possession of such a huge amount of money and for what purpose anyway? “I am aware that such question may not dwell on their mind for very obvious reasons, but it is wicked to use an innocent soul like me as a cannon fodder to get at their perceived target. “Even as young as I am, I believe that there should be decent boundaries that will be taboo even to the most desperate scare monger,” she said. Also, the state police command, in a reaction signed by the Public Relations Officer, Ms. Olabisi Okuwobi, stated that only Mrs. Alabi’s Honda car was stolen. “For the avoidance of doubt, none of the two robberies that saw to the killing of the three robbers involved Olamide, the governor’s daughter, any member of the governor’s cabinet or any of the governor’s relations. “However, Olamide’s encounter with robbers that made away with her car was on February 13 and not at the weekend,” the police said.” |
