Chinese man kills co-worker in Abuja
Latest news
Written by Misbahu Bashir & Usman A. Bello
A Chinese man allegedly pushed his fellow national to his death from atop a hill on the edge of the capital city, Abuja.Witnesses said Ji Jingyun and Chen Zhiqing, who were employees of a minng company were both working on a quarry site in Mpape, about seven kilometres north of the city centre, when they engaged in a heated argument in Chinese.

A witness, who preferred not to be named, said at a point Jingyun pushed Zhiqing backward and as he came down his head hit a boulder and that he died of his injuries instantly.

As the deceased lost his balance, he tried to hold on to a third Chinese man who was trying to intervene in the quarrel and the two came down together, the witness said.

“While on top of the rock, the two men could not agree on an issue which resulted to a heated argument and in the process Jingyun pushed Zhiqing who held another Chinese compatriot to avoid falling from the rock but unfortunately both Zhiqing and the other man came down,” he said.

The other man sustained serious injuries and was later rushed to the hospital for treatment. The company had since flown the remains of the deceased and the injured man to China. The Police Public Relations Officer in Abuja Moshood Jimoh said the incident was reported to the police three hours later when Jingyun had fled.

“Policemen went after him and after several hours of search in the undulating area, they could not find. Police are hunting for him and assured he will be arrested,” he said.

He said the police have met with the officials of the quarry firm with a view to tracing the suspect. “His travel documents were confiscated by the police and the Nigeria Immigration Service was notified,” he said.

He said the matter has been transferred to Criminal Investigation Department.

In a letter to the police, the company had promised N100, 000 reward for any one that could provide information that could lead to his arrest, adding that some people said they saw him eating groundnut in the bush.

The letter said the Company is looking for one of its officials (Jingyun) who could not be found for four days. He is 5 feet tall, slim and was wearing Nigeria Army colour T-Shirt at the time he last seen.

Strange gifts at UNAD
Muyiwa Akande

On Thursday, August 20, 2009, a news story was published in The Nation newspaper with the caption: UNAD Part Time Programmes Donate Six Cars. In the story, it was reported that the Part Time Programmes Unit of the University of Ado Ekiti in conjunction with the students donated six Toyota Camry cars for the use of deans of some selected faculties.


advertisement

At the commissioning ceremony, according to the report, the institution's Vice Chancellor applauded the rare gesture from the students while he also promised to encourage other units to take a cue from them. The students also promised to extend the gesture to other lecturers later.

My first reaction after reading the story was that of commendation for a generous and compassionate set of students trying to meet a glaring need in their school. I don't think anybody will begrudge the students, lecturers and the school for this initiative.

But on deeper thought, I sensed danger due to the people involved and negative peculiarity that has been the lot of the nation's educational system.

The students that contributed the money for the cars are part-time students. It is a widespread belief that most part-time students are those that don't possess the requisite academic requirements to secure admission through the university matriculation body, Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB). Part-time programmes, it is believed, provides a soft landing for them.

With our higher institutions of learning replete with stories of desperate students adopting unorthodox methods of circumventing the academic integrity of grades and certificates, there is the likelihood that the students might be accused of gross inducement.

The calibre of the beneficiaries also calls for stringent scrutiny. These are lecturers, who probably teach them some courses, or have the power to influence the academic fortune of the students, that contributed the money for the cars. The issue of integrity and morality comes into focus. I wonder how the beneficiary-lecturers will have the moral justification to fail any of their "benefactors". Lecturers are not supposed to receive immoral gifts that have the tendency to make them compromise expected standards.

One of the sterling qualities that should stand out teachers at all levels of education is that of integrity. But unfortunately, this is not the case. Many lecturers are known to collect gratifications from male students while their female counterparts pay in "kind" in exchange for marks.

The impact of this cheap attitude has left the country with an army of unemployable graduates. Employers across the country are going through hell due to the disappointing output of these half-baked graduates while the outside world treat certificates awarded by our universities with utter disdain.

Another thing that I find fascinating and disappointing is the attitude of the school administration as represented by the Vice Chancellor. Instead of exercising caution and discretion, he, not only graciously commissioned the cars, but also threw a reckless challenge at others to toe this irresponsible line. This is nothing but official complicity in bringing education into disrepute.

It is quite unfortunate and unbelievable that these students could raise several millions of naira to purchase these cars while every genuine attempt to increase school fees has always been met with stiff, and at times, violent resistance. Only God knows the extent that the students have gone in a bid to get the money. Many of our university campuses are hotbeds of various scams while many of the female undergraduates are not in anyway better than prostitutes. Who knows whether proceeds from these illicit "ventures" formed part of the money contributed for the cars' purchase?

The parents of these students, in my own view, are also culpable. I am convinced that some of them would have provided their children's contribution for the purchase. It is depressing when parents, who are ought to be moral standard bearers to their children, also aid and abet illegalities. What a shame. Anyway, many parents register their children at examination special centres in a bid to secure undeserved success.

In order to redeem the image of all the parties involved, especially the school and the beneficiaries, I think it is proper if the cars are returned immediately while efforts should be made to probe the rationale behind it. This could be just one manifestation of a monumental magnitude of decay ravaging the system.

I also believe the National Universities Commission (NUC) should improve its monitoring of the country's institutions in order to expose the antics of these academic saboteurs. NUC should demand explanations from the school's VC on the incident.

Without any doubt, I believe that the decay in the country's educational sector can be addressed only when "symptoms" like the one in UNAD are properly addressed and the guilty brought to book.

Politics / Large Scale Extortion At Lead City University, Ibadan by Afaukwu: 4:49pm On Aug 28, 2009
http://www.independentngonline.com/news/metr/article02

Large Scale Extortion at Lead City University

A student at the Lead City University, Ibadan rushed home crying and everybody in the her family was disturbed and agitated by her revelation. The family members had expected her to be participating in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) early this year. That was however not to be as her school, had a backlog of students awaiting call up. Her parents consoled her that going by the words of the university and considering that she was done with all her academic requirements she would be mobilised for the scheme later this year perhaps with the first batch or at most with July Batch.

Alas, they were off the mark; the crisis was deeper. She revealed to them that the university management had issued a statement that most of, if not all, their 100 level results were missing. As a result they have to retake those courses and pay N50, 000 per course before they can be considered for graduation and subsequently participate in the NYSC scheme.

There are questions that must be answered. Firstly, whose responsibility is it to keep academic records? This is a rhetorical question. Secondly, didn't the university release those results in that session? Yes, they did. This raises question on what money being charged is meant for. Is it for allotting marks? Also what is the role of National University Commission (NUC) in this embarrassing matter?

This ugly development at the Lead City University goes beyond mere exploitation of the poor by the rich but further shows that private university is no solution to the decay in the education sector. It also reveals that no amount of money paid by individuals or parents can adequately fund quality education.

The fact is that most of these private universities that have mushroomed over the decaying public education are substandard and "cash and carry" institutions, or at best glorified secondary schools. They lack adequate facilities for quality learning and are grossly understaffed. They rely on the part-time service of teachers from the public universities. I, indeed, reliably gathered that most of the lecturers who taught the courses in question have left the Lead City University for better welfare packages elsewhere.

Even before kidnapping became the fashion, Nigerians have never been safe. It is either they are felled by police bullets or by the rampaging northern islamists. Islamic killings have caused more harm than kidnapping, I would say. Whereas kidnapping can be tackled, does the govt have the will to tackle religious killings in the North?

Politics / Yar'adua's Wife Turai Is Fighting For A Second Term by Afaukwu: 4:51pm On Aug 27, 2009
Second Term: Leave Yaradua To Me, I Will Change His Mind-turai

2011 Presidency: Turai worries over Yar’Adua’s health
• As President fails to return after one week in Saudi Arabia

By BEN OBI JR.

THESE are no pleasant times for President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua. The reality of literary icon William Shakespeare's aphorism: “ambition should be made of sterner stuff” is now staring at his face even as his beloved wife Hajia Turai Umaru Yar'Adua complains pathetically to family members and associates that her husband needed thorough medical examination so as to withstand the rigours of electioneering campaign—If he eventually seeks for second term in office during the 2011 Presidential election.

Though, it is still two years to the commencement of a new transition programme, Yar'Adua is said to have made up his mind to run for a second term in office following persistent persuasion by Turai, other family members and associates.

When it became obvious that the president was vacillating on the issue of second tenure, Turai, sources disclosed, drafted her own children and offsprings of former Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters under General Olusegun Obasanjo's military regime, Late General Shehu Musa Yar'Adua, to convince him to have a re-think on the matter.

“Turai was livid with anger when her husband indicated that he was not interested in being in office for more than four years because of his poor health. He wanted to emulate the example of former South African President, Nelson Mandela who voluntarily relinquished power after first term in office,” our presidency sources said.

Informed sources disclosed that apart from seeking the support of her children and husband's elder brother's children, Turai traveled to Katsina State to persuade Yar'Adua's mother, Hajia Dada habib Yar’Adua to intervene in the matter and convince her son to drop his “strange” decision not to seek second term in office.

The old woman was said to have obliged Turai and talked about the second term matter with her son, Umaru, when she had the opportunity. Sources said she admonished her son that an individual's life is in the hand of Allah and only Allah can take it away. “You have been given a divine responsibility to do good for Nigeria people, don't disappoint Allah,” the old woman was said to have told Mr. President. Meanwhile, Turai continued to pressurize her husband who was oscillating on the subject of openly declaring his intention to run for a second term in 2011.

Sources said she applied all sorts of manipulative skills and strategies to mow Yar'Adua's seemingly insurmountable resistance. “Turai was desperate to get the second tenure project back on course. She assured most of her husband's confidants and highly placed party members that her husband will eventually succumb to her wishes” sources said.

National Daily gathered from sources close to Turai,” that she also discussed the second term agenda with one Yar'Adua's relative who is a senior staff of Nigeria National Petroleum Company (NNPC) allegedly persuaded him to use his biological relationship as bases to cajole her husband to make a firm commitment on the second term agenda.

Sources advanced reasons why Turai and members of Yar'Adua's family are desperate to ensure that the President declares his stand on the 2011 presidential election.

“The emergence of Umaru Yar'Adua as Nigeria's president in 2007 has further elevated the family to a higher pedestal and cemented the name of Yar'Adua in the history of Nigeria.

It has opened very enabling and profitable opportunities for anyone who bears the name Yar'Adua, not just the President's nuclear family and that of his late elder brother, Shehu, but all Yar'Aduas. Moreover, you know that power has irresistible allure, it is an aphrodisiac.” An inside source said, adding:

“Generally for the Yar'Adua family, Umaru's ascension to the presidency is compensation for the death of late General Shehu Yar'Adua. Umaru himself was availed the opportunity of rising to the highest level of his political career. For Turai, she has joined the glamorous club of Nigeria's first ladies with the garnishing privileges. Shehu Yar'Adua's offsprings and allies are now into one multi billion naira lucrative business or the other, so, Umaru's presidency has really paid off.”

Nigeria: Human Head Costs N5,500, Says Herbalist

Evelyn Usman


A 34-year-old popular herbalist in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun state, Rasaki Yekini, was last week, paraded alongside some robbery suspects that have been terrorising Ogun state and its environs.

Yekini, who is popularly known as 'Aro', following his proficiency in herbal mixture which has reportedly met the expectations of his clients, was driving in an Opel Saloon car with plate number AK 72 AAA, from Oru, heading for Obalende, Ijebu-Ode, two weeks ago, when along the Ibadan/Ijebu-Ode road, the vehicle was flagged down by a team of Anti-Crime policemen attached to Obalende division who were on stop-and search routine work. Time was 8.30pm.

During the search, a nylon bag neatly tied at the tip was said to have been untied, revealing a human head which was emitting an offensive odour. The startling discovery , led to the arrest of Rasaki who was whisked into the police waiting van to the State Criminal Investigations Department (SCID), Eleweran, Abeokuta, for further investigation.

In this interview with Crime Guard, Rasaki discloses his intention of using the head for money ritual, for one of his clients who came all the way from the eastern part of the country.

The herbalist who claims that was his first time of venturing into money ritual making with human skull, states that if he had succeeded, he would not have attempted it again.

Excerpts:

"I am a popular native doctor, a profession I inherited from my late father. My office is located at number 10, Abraham Adesanya Street, Obalende, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun state, which also doubles as my residential apartment where my family, comprising two wives and five children all live.

At the initial stage, I backed out of the profession but encountered some problems during which I was told I would only prosper if I went back to traditional healing profession. I am well known as Aro because I treat all sorts of ailment.

"It was in the process of going about my traditional healing profession that one man who identified himself as Stephen, an Igbo trader all the way from Onitsha, approached me saying he was advised to meet me that I would have solution to his problem.

Stephen told me he wanted to get rich and would need charm that would not only enrich him but other members of his family.

I intended to chase him away because I had not done a thing like that before, owing to the magnitude of what is involved . So, I told him it would be difficult but he insisted he would pay any amount, provided he became rich at the end of the day. At that point, I told him it would require a human head and that getting it would be difficult.

I, thereafter, told him his bill would be N20,000 and he made an advance payment of N10,000 with a promise to pay the balance as soon as I was through with the charm.

"The next phase was how to get a human skull. But being a popular native doctor, I approached a motor park tout who I usually give money and he introduced me to one Kehinde who booked Wednesday the 5th day of August as collection day. Kehinde collected the sum of N5,500 for the head.

On the day I was to collect it, I was asked to come to Oru near a bush at night . I cannot tell if that place is a cemetery or not. But after waiting there for a while, he came and handed me a black nylon bag after which we both went our different ways, only for some policemen to stop my vehicle half way, demanding to know the content of the nylon and in the process, discovered the human head."

Looking sober, he lamented, " See what I have put myself into now. I do not even know where the man that asked me to do the charm lives in Onitsha and even that of the person that sold the human head to me . Now I am left alone to bear the brunt.

I did not even charge him much to make up for this embarrassment and shame this arrest has cost me and my family. People outside there would think I was into something sinister and dubious all this while. I regret my action .

If I had known, I would have followed my instinct. I would not have conceded to the client's plea when I told him I could not do it the first time."

The suspect, according to the command boss, Mr Hashimu Argungu, would soon be arraigned in court.

City police have arrested three men and charged them with gang raping three women in separate incidents that took place in the parking lot of Seton Keough High School in Southwest Baltimore, records show.

The attacks occurred two weeks apart and shared similar characteristics, and detectives determined the alleged attackers' identities after the most recent victim was able to remember the tag number on the vehicle of one of the suspects. Police did not announce the incidents or the arrests.

Charged in the crimes are Anthony Oisediamen Edoror Jr., 19, and Opeyemi Adigun, 20, both of Gwynn Oak; and Adeamoloa Adeniran, 20, of Halethorpe.

Police responded at 6:45 a.m. July 27 to Mercy Hospital, where two girls said they had been raped by three unknown males, according to charging documents. The girls said they were walking on Fayette Street downtown when they were approached by two men. After a conversation, the men agreed to give them a ride.

But the ride quickly turned frightening, according to court records. The driver got onto Interstate 95 South, and when one of the girls told the driver he was going the wrong way and asked to be let out, the man in the passenger seat told her to be quiet. He brandished a hunting-style knife and threatened to "stab her up," records show.

The men drove them to the 1200 block of S. Caton Ave. and parked in the rear of Seton Keough High, a private, all-girls Catholic school, where a second car pulled up. One of the girls tried to run away and was caught by the hair and thrown to the ground. The men then took turns raping them over the course of about an hour, according to charging documents.

Afterward, the men took one girl's shorts and both girls' purses, shoes and cell phones, and left. The victims were able to flag down a driver, who called police.

During the course of the investigation, police received another report of a rape Aug. 8 that shared the same characteristics of the first incident.

The victim in that case, a 26-year-old woman, said she was leaving The Block and asked for a ride home from two men she had spoken with earlier. She was picked up at North Calvert and East Fayette streets and said the men spoke in an African dialect to each other as they drove her to Southwest Baltimore, according to charging documents.

She said she was taken to an area behind the high school, where she was dragged onto a field and raped, court records show. She collected two of the men's condoms and took down a tag number, which police traced to Edoror. The police report indicates that at least part of the incident was captured on the school's surveillance cameras.

Edoror, who was working at a Home Depot in Baltimore County when he was taken into custody, gave a full confession and identified his accomplices as Adigun and Adeniran, according to charging documents. He said that in the Aug. 8 incident, the men were looking for a prostitute to have sex with without paying and that the victim willingly went with them to have sex for money. But he also acknowledged that they raped her after refusing to pay her.

After the suspects' identities were established, the women picked all three men out of photo arrays, court records show.

The suspects were arrested Aug. 13 and have been ordered held without bond. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Sept. 15.

According to electronic court records, only Adeniran has a prior criminal record. He was charged in Howard County with car theft, and in Baltimore County with identity theft and fraud. Both charges were thrown out by prosecutors.
