PoliticsBank Robbery: I Was Appointed Special Adviser To Gov Before My Arrest- Suspect by agabusta(op):
Bank robbery: I was appointed Special Adviser to Governor before my arrest- Suspect


By Ifeanyo Okolie

A 27-year-old notorious bank robbery suspect, Ikadoi Isere, alias White Witch, who was arrested recently by operative of the Inspector- General of Police Special Intelligence Response Team, IRT, stunned Crime Alert during an exclusive interview by disclosing that he was appointed a Special Adviser to Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, on Oil and Gas matters, prior to his arrest.
A native of Nambe Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, the suspect was arrested alongside two others; Daniel Gogo, aka Full-Payment and Ifeanyi Kalu. They were accused of participating in no fewer than 15 bank and bullion van robbery and kidnappings across Port-Harcourt, Rivers State and some South East States.

Police sources disclosed that three Ak47 rifles, a Lar rifle, 360 rounds of live ammunitions, 20 magazines, five dynamites, two pistols, a rifle servicing equipment and three exotic cars, were recovered from the suspects after their hideouts were raided in Bayelsa State.

N400m loot

The source who spoke on the condition of anonymity stated; “White Witch and members of his gang had killed over 20 policemen and made away with their rifles in separate robbery operations within Port-Harcourt City, between 2012 and 2016.” He described the gang as one of the city’s most dreaded robbery gangs, identifying, Daniel Gogo, who is popularly known as Full-Payment, as the leader.
The source further disclosed that having gathered credible intelligence on the gang’s activities between 2012 and 2016, operatives trailed them to Bayelsa State, where they were arrested and large catch of arms and ammunitions were recovered from them. They reportedly confessed during interrogations that they made over N400million from robbing several banks and bullion vans, including kidnappings of prominent businessmen, civil servants and oil workers across Port-Harcourt.

Confession of gang leader

The leader of the gang, Gogo alias Full-Payment, told Crime Alert that he invested a large chunk of his share of the loot in setting up a local oil refinery within the creeks of Bayelsa State, while his patner, Isere, alias White Witch, stated that he invested a large share of his loots on his siblings, wife and his aged mother. He added that he also used some in sponsoring the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, at the last General Election in Bayelsa State.

He explained that he mobilized people to vote for PDP and used the gang’s rifles to protect electoral materials during the last Governorship Election at Nembe Local Government Area of the State. White Witch told Crime Alert that he joined the gang in 2010, when one of his elder brothers who is a member of Vikings Confraternity, linked him to the gang leader called Full-Payment, in Port-Harcourt. “I am a member of Icelander Confraternity and I am the executioner in-charge of Nembe Local Government Area of Bayelsa State. My elder brother IJB, who is also a member of Vikings linked me to my boss, Full-Payment, who is also a member of Vikings and he asked him to assist me.
He accepted and brought me into the gang. At that time, I was highly frustrated because after I finished learning underwater welding through the Presidential Amnesty Program, I had no job.

I wasn’t getting the complete amount from the stipend given to ex-militants of the Niger Delta. Before the money will get to me, it has gone through several persons and when I will receive mine, it will remain only N20, 000. There was nothing I could do with such an amount. I have a wife and children to fend for and my siblings are still in school and they are looking up to me.

Our first operation

“ The first operation I went with the gang was at Uguruta Junction on the Port-Harcourt International Airport Road. We attacked some vehicles conveying a huge sum of money in foreign currency. We killed all the policemen escorting them including a man the police identified as the Regional Manager of the bank where the money came from. After that operation, I was given N3million as my share and when I got home, I gave my sister who had already dropped out of school some money to go back to school. I also gave some money to my younger brother who was also in school. I used part of it to establish a little business for my wife.

Another operation

“Seven months after that operation, my boss told me that there was a job for us at a bank in Trans-Amadi in Port-Harcourt. We were five persons who went for that operation and our target was a bullion van offloading money into the bank. Two members of our gang walked into the bank like customers who wanted to make use of the ATM, with short guns and shot into the air when they got close to a point where the bullion van was.

The people offloading the money absconded. We drove our car into the bank and carted away a large sum of money which our vehicle could carry since we came with just one car. At the end our operation, I got N12million as my share. My boss and others who are seniors in the gang got lion share.

Time to quit

“After that operation, my boss told us that he was quitting and everyone should go and look for what to do with their money. When I got home, I bought a car, rented a big apartment and I decided to go into politics. My boss also told me that he wanted to set up a local refinery so I linked him to one of my uncles who was also into such business. Before the 2015 election, I and my boss had meetings with some of the political heavy weights in Nembe Local Government and we offered to work for them during the election.

To show them that I was serious, we assured that we were going to bring out our arms, ammunition and money to support them and they promised to give me pipeline surveillance contract in my area. But one month before the election, I became very broke and my boss has also invested all his money into his local refinery business, we were left with no other option than to go for one more operation.
Back to base- another operation

“ Our informant, one Promise Barisnsia, who had once worked in a bank, alerted us about a bullion van that would supply money to a bank at the main Campus of Rivers State University of Science and Technology, UST. We trailed a van supplying money to the bank and we shot into the air to scare both the policemen, bank security men and workers around the bank and they absconded leaving the bullion van open. We carted away a large sum of money which our vehicle could carry.

Encounter with the police

“On our way out of the campus, we passed through the back gate but unknown to us, there were policemen hiding inside the bush. When I stepped out of the vehicle to open the gate, I was shot on the leg, but my boss came out and gave me a cover. We shot the gate open and escaped. But the policemen kept on chasing us. They shot at the boot of our vehicle and one of the bags containing some of the money we stole fell off and the policemen also deflated three of our tires. We stopped another vehicle and transferred all our goods into the new vehicle and escaped. I was given N6 million as my share of the loot and I used part of it to treat my bullet wound.

Time for election

“When it was time for election, we brought in lots of boys, from Rivers, Delta and Imo States to work for PDP, Bayelsa State and we paid them with our own money. After the election, I was appointed a Personal Assistant to the Chairman of Nembe Local Government Area, who gave me a Toyota Hilux van with a government plate number. I was also linked to the Bayelsa State Deputy Governor. By October of that same year, some of our gang members became very broke and they called on my boss, Full-Payment, asking him to allow them do one last job which would fetch us enough money to enable us quit robbery, completely. Our informant told us that money was to be supplied to a bank on Trans-Amadi Road Port-Harcourt.

……yet another operation

“On the day of the operation, we stormed the bank with three SUVs and when the bullion van arrived to supply money, we attacked it by shooting into the air to scare people away. The bank was close to a police station and the police had blocked the route in front of their station. My boss who had a highlander drove in first and we loaded his vehicle with huge sums of money and when he was about leaving, we discovered that some soldiers had blocked the route we intended to escape through.

Then, my boss decided to escape through a very narrow road linking him to Mummy be Road, but unknown to him, some policemen had already laid ambush and he drove into it. He was shot on the thigh and his driver, one Kennedy, was also shot and their vehicle came to a halt. I was behind him in another vehicle when this happened and I quickly approached him and rescued my boss. We abandoned the vehicle and all the money in it. The next day in the news, I read that the police recovered N350million from us.

Time to finally quit

“That operation was a huge loss and my boss vowed never to participate in any robbery activity again. In December, when the governorship election came, I was given N3million by PDP and I brought in my boys and we worked for them. We ensured that all electoral materials were intact and we prevented people from the opposition party from snatching ballot boxes.
We also had some policemen working for us during that election. Between January and February, 2016, While I was waiting for PDP to fulfil the promises they made to me, and my boss was still nursing his injury, I took our rifles from Bayelsa State with the government Hilux van that was given to me and police escort and organized our boys.

Operation with government vehicles

“We attempted to rob two bullion vans, one was at Agip Junction by Ada-Gorge Road and the other was at Emenike Junction on Ikwere Road, Port-Harcourt. We failed in those operations but our informant, Promise, brought a job at Fidelity bank and warned that we must not allow the Operation Manager of the bank to leave the bank if we must succeed. We attacked the bank around 4pm. We accosted the woman while she was about leaving the bank and we took her back into the bank. We blew up the security doors, and shot indiscriminately to scare people. At the end of the operation, we retrieved the RDV from the CCTV recording machine to avoid our faces being detected. We returned to Bayelsa State with the government Hilux leading the way. We made N24million from that operation and I got N4million as my share.

Arrest at last

“Two weeks before my arrest, I was been shortlisted as a Special Adviser to Bayelsa State Governor, and we were waiting for him to return from his trip abroad so that he would swear us into our various offices. I did not know that the police got to know about my activities. I was shocked when they trailed me to my house and arrested me and I took them to my boss and he was arrested too. They recovered our arms and ammunition,” he lamented.

https://www.timenaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/index-69.png

In an interview with Bloomberg TV this morning, former President Goodluck Jonathan, said he is aware he is being investigated for corruption in Nigeria. Asked if he was aware that he is being investigated, Jonathan said

“Of course, obviously we would be investigated and I am being investigated. Yes, investigations are going on” he said
He says he wouldn’t want to comment on whether the investigators would find anything incriminating.
“I wouldn’t want to comment on certain things because when a government is working, it is not proper for the immediate past president to make certain statements. I would allow the government to do the work they are supposed to do. After all the investigations, the whole story would be properly chronicled”[/b] he said

Jonathan, said he doesn’t feel liable for the poor state of the Nigerian economy.
“No. You see the economy of Nigeria somehow depends on oil and at anytime that oil prices drop, it affects the economy significantly in terms of its contribution to the GDP”
he said
On the assumption that he left an empty treasury, Jonathan said
“That is not true. There is no way he would have inherited empty treasury and at the same time give bailout to the states. It is not possible. Nigeria is a fairly robust economy. but sometimes we over politicize certain issues and make it look so bad but it was not that bad”.

Cocaine trafficker forces Dubai plane to land in Lagos

Emirates flight EK 262 from Sao Paulo, Brazil to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, made an emergency landing in Lagos at the weekend due to the deteriorating health condition of a cocaine trafficker.

Screening by anti-narcotic officials found four passengers, who are currently under interrogation, positive for drug ingestion.

One of the suspects in a critical health condition was immediately hospitalised as doctors battle to save his life, the Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency told SUNDAY PUNCH on Saturday.

The Head, Public Affairs Department of the NDLEA, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, quoted the Commander, NDLEA, Murtala Muhammed International Airport Lagos, Mr. Ahmadu Garba, as saying the Emirates flight left Sao Paulo, Brazil, to Dubai but was forced to come to Lagos due to the health condition of a passenger on board who ingested cocaine.

He said, “A passenger complained of severe abdominal pains and later suffered three recurrent seizures, thus necessitating an emergency landing in Lagos. Upon arrival, four passengers tested positive for narcotic ingestion. They are Okeh Desmond, Ezeanya Nnaemeka, Christopher Nonso and Chibusi Promise. All the suspects are under observation.”

The Chairman/Chief Executive, NDLEA, Col. Muhammad Abdallah (retd.), said the suspect was responding to treatment, while calling for stiffer penalty against drug trafficking.

Abdallah said the agency needed the cooperation of all stakeholders to send a warning to drug trafficking organisations.

PoliticsSharia Court Bill: Leo Ogor Speaks - "Nobody Is Expanding Sharia To Anywhere" by agabusta(op): 6:41am On May 29, 2016
Do not panic over Sharia court bill –Reps

The House of Representatives doused tension on Friday after a bill to expand the jurisdiction of the Sharia Court of Appeal ignited fears that lawmakers were about to expand Sharia Law to cover the entire country.

The constitution amendment bill, which was sponsored by a member from Sokoto State, Mr. Abdullahi Salame, had passed second reading on the floor of the House.

The Speaker, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, who presided over the session, had allowed the bill to scale second reading without debate on the grounds of its “sensitive” nature.

The House had also noted that since it was a constitution amendment bill, it should be referred to the Ad Hoc Committee on Constitution Review where it would be adequately discussed.

However, the passage of the bill raised fears after the term “jurisdiction” was reportedly misconstrued for expanding Sharia Law to states other than where it currently applies.

In his proposal, Salame sought to amend sections 262 and 277 of the 1999 Constitution to add “criminal” to the existing provisions.

Explaining the purpose of the bill, the Minority Leader of the House, Mr. Leo Ogor, a Christian, allayed fears that it was about expanding Sharia Law to other states.

Rather, he explained that bill merely sought to increase the existing powers of the court to include criminal cases.

Ogor said, “The ‘jurisdiction’ of the court referred to in sections 262 and 277 of the constitution means the powers of the court in states where it already exists, not expanding Sharia to other parts of the country, no.

“The amendment sought to these sections is to add ‘criminal’ to the existing jurisdiction it has on ‘civil litigation.’ That is the jurisdiction that is being expanded, not the expansion of Sharia Law itself.”

On why the bill was not debated, Ogor said, “The matter was not debated because the amendment is a constitutional amendment on a matter that could be better handled by the constitution review committee.

“Debating it on the floor will not resolve it since the Ad Hoc Committee on Constitution Review will still conduct a public hearing on it.

“Those concerned will be invited to come and give their opinions on how the added powers of the court will affect them and so on.

“Nobody is expanding Sharia to anywhere. Members of the public should not panic over this at all.”

porka:
You are actually confused.

Your illogical defense of nonsense shows the level of your 'comprehensive skills'. You've just been going round in circles lying to yourself.

Nigeria's constitution has been amended before - at least twice. It wasn't shrouded in secrecy, neither was any provisional amendment pushed to second reading through the backdoor.

We didn't hear about anyone telling the bills' sponsors 'not to make noise about' it. Each proponent and the entire National Assembly spearheaded the media sensitization and mobilization through due process. No one created an imaginary legislative process different from what is available in the public domain.

Until you and 'Dogara' brought your excellent 'comprehensive skills' to bear, Nigerians have had to rely on section 9 of the constitution (plus extant legislative rules, processes and procedures) for its amendments.

The sponsor of 'criminal Sharia' bill in Nigeria told the world that Yakubu Dogara advised them to go about it 'secretly' to avoid 'controversy', but neither you nor Dogara has been able to provide the public with a written document or a precedence backing up the 'secret' deal.

Shame
I'm tired of your garbage. You are the one who is seriously confused.

Constitutional amendment only came into the talk when it was discovered that some aspects of the bill will conflict constitutional provisions.

Hence, the bill cannot be treated like other bills but was referred to the committee on constitution amendment.

I will leave you to continue wallowing in your ignorance, intolerance and paranoia.

Sometimes you guys behave as if you are more 'Christian' than others. But your actions portray your hypocrisy. Because they are actually fuelled by bigotry and not actually love for christ.
PoliticsRe: Fayose Joins Wike To Commission 42 Roads In Rivers,Throws Shade At Amaechi(pics) by agabusta:
This Fayose na real embarrassment. When everybody was putting strategy in place to get funds, he was busy chasing PMB up and down.

All the states are affected by lower allocations. But only the smart governors knows that they have to commission projects to stay afloat.

Wike understands this and didn't waste time in going repeatedly to his House of Assembly to borrow billions for him.

Either which way, projects are going on, contractors are getting paid, they too will pay their employees, and employees will spend the money in the state, keeping the state economy rolling.

Fayose no get hin own project to commission, despite that he was already a sitting governor before all these guys, hence he is doing attache up and down.

He better go and settle down in Ekiti and brainstorm on the way out of the state economic problems.

He should borrow some wisdom from Buhari, who he likes to shade at every given opportunity.

Hate him or like him, Buhari has tactically stayed away from APC functions in order to concentrate on governance. In fact most times, he delegates the Vice President to stand for him.

This Fayose has put all PDP's issue on his own head, ignoring governance at his home state. Now the state is on the edge, monthly allocation has gone below 1billion, wage bill is above 1billion, state budget is about 60billion. How on earth will he be able to achieve anything if allocations in the state continues below the 1billion naira mark. Despite all his dictatorial tendencies in shoring up the state IGR, the IGR has refused to deliver something encouraging.

He better leave politics for now and go and sit his ass down in his state and create solutions.
He is taking the love Ekiti people have for him for granted, he seems to have forgotten that Ekiti people can be very loyal, but once they turn against you, it is usually very difficult to re-win their loyalty.

Talkative ineffective Fayose.

One irony about Fayose that a number of his supporters outside the state do not know, is that Fayose is even more dictatorial than Buhari. If someone like him should become a president, there will be serious consistent confusion, riots and daily protests.

Kudos to Wike for his projects. I hope he has fixed that Trans Amadi road all the way to slaughter, the last time I was in PH, the entire place was an eyesore.

Not all bills that comes to the House is debated by the entire House right away. They refer them to a committee who will assess it whether it is worth presenting to the whole House for debate.

If no, they throw it into a cupboard somewhere.

If yes, they present it for debate by the entire House.

agabusta:
Who will save southern Christians of islamization paranoia?? Especially those from the SE.

They will soon come here now and be raising alarm, while failing to take note of some germane points:

1. No matter how ridiculous a bill is, the house will receive it and work on it, so far it has proponents. Working on it does not mean it will scale all the legislative stages. But only depicts democratic tendencies, which gives voice to everyone.

2. The Speaker is a Christian.

3. Any bill that will include changes to the constitution must go through all the State Houses of Assembly.

4. The Bill also has to be passed by the Senate, which has equal representation across the states of the federation. E.g. A small Ekiti/Bayelsa has same number of senators with big Lagos/Kano.

5. The content of the said bill is the most important thing and this media outlet purposely left that one out in order to sensationalize the news.

6.Another way the writer purposely sensationalized the report is in the title. Instead of saying "The bill is about the Sharia Court of Appeal" cunningly said "Pro-Sharia Bill".


Our media outlets need to exercise a high level of professionalism at this time, otherwise they will soon cause a big kasala.


I'm sure some shallow heads will soon come and tag me a muslim.

@OP, thanks for your concerns.

The issues you raised is already being handled and posters who both promote violence or any criminal acts are banned in accordance to rules 3 and 9
"3. Don't threaten, support or DEFEND violent acts against any person, tribe, race, animals, or group (e.g. rape).


9. Don't use Nairaland for illegal acts, e.g scams, plagiarism, hacking, gay meetings, incitement, promoting Biafra. "

As for those who promote secession, that is a clear violation or rule 9 and using alternate handles violation of rule 19 and actions. Are taking against such handles.

But you can also help by using the report feature anytime you see any rule being broken.

Thanks

Marriage can be bliss or hell.

And there is no smartness in choosing right. You can only choose right with God.

RIP Madam. I really pity the kids. Mum gone, Dad also technically gone.

Nairaland warring factions will definitely spare us their madness on this thread, their name checking units from both sides are surely disappointed with the names.

Lagos is not big, it only has population........ Bayelsa is 3 times the size of Lagos please..
Oga, representation is not based on landmass. It is based on population as is the case with House of Rep, while each state has equal representation in the Senate. Exactly my point in that piece.
