P.M.EXPRESS reports that CP Edgal said that Mrs. Udeme had perfected plans to travel abroad after the act but things did not worked out as she had planned. He explained that findings in the case by the police so far revealed that the couple had marital issues bothering on extra-marital affairs which resulted in the murder of her husband, later Barr. Otike Odibi.

Edgal said the action was premeditated because on the day of incident, the suspect sent a WhatsApp message to her sister-in-law complaining about her husband and asked her to pray for them and equally asked God to forgive her.
The police boss said so far, the suspect, Mrs. Udeme Odibi in her statement had confessed and also called her mother on phone that she had killed her husband.
He hinted that the suspect had hit the deceased with a frying pan on the head before stabbing him with the knife she bought for the operation. The police boss added that the knife had been recovered as exhibit and in the custody of the police.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that Barrister Mrs. Udeme was in the news two weeks ago after she allegedly stabbed her husband and murdered him in their home at Diamond Estate in Ogombo, Lagos. It was reported that after she was said to have successfully killed him, she attempted to kill herself but could not succeed before she was rescued.
She was rescued and rushed to an undisclosed hospital where the doctors revived her, while her late husband’s corpse was deposited at the mortuary for autopsy report.

However, at about 3am Mr. Raph noticed a flash from torchlight inside their wardrobe. He got up to check and found Fatai there. He held him when he attempted to escape and raised alarm which attracted other neighbours. He was then handed over to the police at Itire Division.

P.M.EXPRESS scooped that at the police station, Fatai who claimed to live under the bridge at Ojuelegba area said that he sneaked into the house at night and entered their bedroom through their living room and hid inside the wardrobe. He reportedly said that his mission was to steal before the couple moved into their bed. He was there until they started making love and he had to stay there because it was difficult for him to come out. He said from the wardrobe he watched them made love and attempted to sneak out when they had slept off. He said that he was eventually caught after he had already collected their phones and attempted to move out before Mr. Raph woke up and held him.

Fatai was charged before the Isolo Magistrates court for sneaking into the complainant’s apartment and stealing.

He pleaded guilty.

The prosecutor, Mr. Oje Uagbale while presenting facts before the court, informed the court that Fatai had earlier been convicted by the same court last year under another name, Oluwaseun Gbenga after he went to a mosque and stole which he confirmed.
Then the prosecutor told the court that from the facts available, that the defendant was a habitual criminal that will not change and asked the court to sentence him accordingly to serve as deterrent because he was not a first offender.
The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. O.A. Teluwo found Fatai guilty as charged on the two counts and sentenced him accordingly.
However, the court ordered that the sentence will run concurrently which means that Fatai will be spending the next two years at the prison custody.

The father of three who claimed that he had been a minister of God for 30 years and got married 25 years ago with three children, was paraded by the Lagos Commissioner of Police, CP Imohimi Edgal at the State Command, Lagos.

While parading the suspect, the police boss said that the Command recorded a case of defilement which was reported at the Pedro Police Station, Shomolu on 18th April, 2018. He said that the complainant noticed her daughter’s unusual behaviours while the little girl was sleeping and checked her private. It was discovered that the semen was coming out from her private part.

The alarmed mother woke her up and asked her who was behind the act. The little girl revealed that it was Pastor Okon who had been having carnal knowledge of her since last year.

CP Edgal further stated that the victim revealed that it was inside the pastor’s wife’s shop that Okon had been defiling her. He said that the matter was then reported to the police, the suspect was arrested and detained at the police station for interrogations. During the interrogations, the suspect denied the allegation. However, the medical examination conducted on the girl revealed that her hymen had been ruptured long ago.

The CP said that further investigations were being conducted on the matter and the suspect will be charged to court. CP Edgal advised parents to keep eyes on their children as the Command will not hesitate to arrest negligent parents and prosecute them according to the law.

When P.M.EXPRESS contacted Pastor Okon, he swore that he did not do what was being alleged but did not explain why he was the only person mentioned in the area. Pastor Okon said that it was just a ploy by his enemies to destroy his spiritual powers.

It might sound strange but it has been confirmed that in some Igbo communities that people harbour and live with pythons under the same roof as they were seen as goddesses of the land.

Being seen deities, they were given different names in the communities such as Eke, Nwadiala, Nnanyi, Ikputu, depending on the level of reverence in a particular community.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the snakes were revered in the land to the extent that if they were mistakenly killed, the killers were said to be considered to have committed murder; something abominable and must perform certain rituals to appease the gods to avoid calamity in the land.

Apart from appeasing the people and the gods through certain rituals, the killer must conduct a proper burial ceremony just as done for human beings which included buying coffin, clothes, digging grave, buying palm wines, alligator pepper and kolanuts etc to make for a decent burial.

P.M.EXPRESS investigations revealed that the sacredness of the pythons were so deep to the extent that it cut across both the traditional worshippers, Christians and other religious beliefs, in as much as such persons were sons and daughters of the soil in such areas.

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that such communities where those beliefs were still sacred were communities in Aguata and Idemili Local government areas of the Anambra State. Some of the towns mentioned in Aguata included Umuchu, Uga, Amesi, Ekwulobia, Umuomaku, Achina, Aguluezechukwu, Akpo, Igboukwu, Nanka and many others.
It was also gathered that in Idemili Local Government area, it was also a taboo to kill the pythons in towns like Obosi, Abatete, Ideani, Umuoji, Ogidi and others.

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that there was a mystery between the python and the people which can be traced to the days of their forefathers and the people had imperial proofs to show and believe.

Some of the leaders in the communities visited told P.M.EXPRESS that the pythons do not harm the people where they were considered as deities despite the fact that they were poisonous and can cause death when they bite victims.

One of the community leaders in Umuchu town, Ichie Peter Aginam attempted to offer an explanation on what happens between the people and the python which he described as a bond he was unable to trace its origin. Ichie Agina said that when the python mistakenly bites a son of the soil, it will sigh and the poisonous venom will immediately be neutralised and it will not harm such person.

However, Ichie Aginam revealed that it was not so with the people from communities like Umunze town in Orumba North Local government area, where such bites may result to death for the fact that they do kill and eat the python. Ichie Aginam was unable to trace the genesis of the affinity between the python and the people but described it as a bond that has not been broken.

When asked what will happen if one kills the python and secretly buries it without informing any person, he said that strange calamities will befall such person, he will be forced to confess and perform the required rituals. Ichie Aginam further said that despite civilisation and development, that the people still held the belief and avoided going against but concluded that it was not idol worship.

However, some of the people do not maintain such beliefs. Some said that it was an old belief that had been overtaken by modern events and as such was no longer prevalent in some communities. Some others said that they will not deliberately kill the python as a form of confrontation against the belief because they do not know the secret behind the relationship between it and their forefathers that made it so.

Police operatives from the Intelligence Response Team, IRT, Ikeja, Lagos have busted the home of a senior female immigration officer, recovered hundreds of international passports and rescued young victims she reportedly kept in servitude for her sexual desires.

The immigration officer identified as the Deputy Superintendent of Immigration, DSI, Mrs. Ehumibe Moji Dada Omoh claimed to be attached to the Seme border office in Badagry area of Lagos.

Mrs. Omoh an indigene of Auchi in Edo State was alleged to have defrauded many intending travellers to the tune of millions of Naira and frustrated many as a result of fake documents she procured for them. It was learnt that some of the victims were said to be languishing in various prisons across the world while some were missing and may have died.

P.M.EXPRESS scooped that Mrs. Omoh’s trouble started after he allegedly defrauded one Captain Young Suleman Omokhuale to the tune of N2.5m in 2017 under the false pretence of securing travelling papers for Mr. Omokhuale’s two sons to travel abroad. He also was said to have defrauded one Mr. Paulinus of about N1.4m, after being introduced to her by the Managing Director of Don CY Hotel and Suites and many others.

However, Mr. Paulinus ended up in prison as a result of the fake documents she procured for him after obtaining the money from him.
On Mr. Omokhuale’s son, Evans, she reportedly seized the 29-year old Evans inside her house at Abaranje for five months without allowing him access to anyone including his parents. She reportedly informed Mr. Omokhuale that his son had travelled abroad since 2017 and arranged a fake telephone conversation between Evans and his father.

However, the whole scam came to the open when Evans managed to escape from her, regained his senses and informed his father about what happened. The father then wrote a petition to the police and Mrs. Omoh was eventually arrested and detained at the Police Command with four other suspects in connection with the alleged fraud.

When our correspondent visited her house at Abaranje in Ikotun, the residents confirmed the incident. The residents also revealed that she had been frustrating and keeping some young men who wanted to travel abroad through her in her house and usually slept with them, which was yet to be confirmed.

When our correspondent visited IRT office in Ikeja, Mrs. Omoh was still detained there with other suspects believed to be rescued victims and one of her children.
Police sources expressed shock over such crime and said she was cooperating with the police in the investigations. The police are still trying to know how she managed to get those international passports, who their owners were and what happened to the owners.

When our correspondent attempted to speak with Mrs. Omoh, the police said it was too early to speak with her because the police were still doing investigations on the matter which they described as sensitive.

What may have caused the officer to jump into the river was not known but the passengers said that he was very quiet inside the bus before they got to Ore where he jumped inside the river.
Some of the passengers said he must have been facing serious challenges and due to the frustration he decided to jump into the river and died in the process.

There was a mild drama at a popular joint in Lagos as a housewife, Maureen caught her husband, Clifford with a single mother, one Mrs. Happiness, who told her to forget her husband because she can never separate them.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened on Friday at a popular joint located at Omiyale Street in Ejigbo area of Lagos where the single mother -Happiness and Clifford went to enjoy themselves.

On Friday, Clifford brought Happiness to the joint in his car and had requested for drinks and fried chicken. They were already eating before his wife Maureen got there on a tip off and disrupted the whole thing.

It was learnt that after Happiness was dumped by her husband, she dropped her children and came to Lagos where she met Clifford who rented a house at Cyril Njoku Street, Ejigbo whereas Clifford lived around Military Zone in the same Ejigbo.

Mrs. Maureen lamented that since Clifford met Happiness, he had abandoned his family, focused on Happiness, usually came back late and ceased to take care for his only child.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that while Maureen and Happiness were dragging and exchanging hot words, Clifford looked the other way. His attitude did not go down well with the customers present as they attacked him which forced him to enter his car and drive off.

The visibly embattled Maureen was consoled by the people and asked to put everything in prayer until God intervenes and brings back her husband to her.

Some of the residents who witnessed what happened blamed both Clifford and his wife Maureen for the ugly situation.
Some said probably that the wife might not be taking proper care of him before he found solace in Happiness and clung to her. While others said that Clifford might be under the influence of charms which made him to behave irresponsibly and choose to break his home because of Happiness, as his wife Maureen looked more beautiful than her.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the victim has put to bed a baby girl and they were brought before the Ikeja Magistrates court when Johnson was arraigned on Wednesday.

P.M.EXPRESS scooped that Johnson resorted to his daughter after his wife who had three children for him died. He then ‘found solace’ in his daughter by sleeping with her and eventually impregnated her.

P.M.EXPRESS learnt that Johnson warned her not to tell anyone about the shameful act, even during the period she was pregnant until she put to bed and she decided to reveal the identity of the real father of the baby.

It was gathered that the victim revealed to the sister of her late mother and Johnson was confronted. He threatened to kill them including the baby.

The matter was first reported at the Ikotun Police Division before it was transferred to the gender section at the Police Command, Ikeja, Lagos.

Akwa Ibom State born Dominic accepted that he did it but that he was drunk the day he slept with her. He reportedly told the police that his wife died and he had no money to marry another wife and so was tempted to sleep with the victim but not with the intention to impregnate her.

The police found him culpable and arraigned him in court for defilement.

His plea was not taken rather the Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. Sule Amzat ordered him to be remanded in prison custody without an option of bail.
The court ordered the prosecutor, Inspector Benson Emuerhi to duplicate his case file and send to DPP for advice.
The matter was adjourned till 8 May, 2018 for the report of DPP advice to be ready.

It was gathered that Johnson may have committed a serious criminal offence that may land him in prison for several years if tried and found guilty.

However, if released he may have to perform some rituals for the abomination for him to be accepted by his people according to the tradition and customs in his home town.

The Lagos State Police Command on Friday 9th March 2018, recorded another case of man’s inhumanity to man. This time around it was between one Mrs. Nkeiruka Ngwu – a 36-year old mother of four children residing at #47 Ogundana Street, off Allen Avenue, Ikeja, and her 10-year old house help, Miss Chioma Samuel.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the suspect now in police custody, brought the victim to Lagos from Umuoju, Ngwu in Abia State sometime in January 2018 after the death of the poor girl’s father. Rather than keeping to the promise of giving her a better life which she made to the poor girl before she was handed over to her, Nkeiruka Ngwu made life a living hell for the child.

She was mentally and physically abused with many injury marks to show for them. Her latest tale of woe was recorded on Wednesday 7th of March, 2018 when the suspect allegedly used a well heated pressing iron to cause grievous injuries on the victim’s hands and legs. She also poured hot water on her which peeled her skin.

However, on Thursday 8 March, 2018, Nkeiruka’s cup of iniquity got filled up. She brought her children to a private school located somewhere in Ikeja, unfortunately for her the prying eyes of other mothers who came to drop off their kids noticed the gaping wounds on the upper and lower limbs of the victim who accompanied the suspect to the school.

After questioning the girl, the mothers waited for her madam who had gone to drop her kids in their different classrooms. When she was done and was about to drive off, she was confronted by the women who nearly mobbed her. They were calmed by some teachers who heard their piercing voices as they rented the air. The women told Nkeiruka to take the girl to a hospital or else they will petition the Lagos State Commissioner of Police whom Lagosians have come to know as one who takes strong stance against such crimes and other related crimes against children, women and vulnerable persons in the society.

Despite their warnings to report her to the authorities, Mrs. Nkeiruka Ngwu like the proverbial dog that wouldn’t hearken to its master’s clarion call when death is lurking around the corner, stubbornly came to the school on Friday 9th March, 2018, accompanied by the child victim whose wounds were manifestly untreated.

On seeing that their warnings were taken for granted, the women made good their promise to call the attention of the Commissioner of Police,Lagos State to the matter. The CP immediately ordered for the arrest of the woman and directed the Gender Section of the Command to take the victim to police hospital for proper treatment. They are to ensure that the girl is fed very well until the Social Welfare Department of the Lagos State Government comes for the girl .

Investigations into the case are in progress. Meanwhile Nkeiruka will have her day in the court of law on Monday 12th March, 2018.

However, she found it difficult to quit Mrs. Bisuga and so she decided to force her to move out using her urine as weapon. The suspect was said to have continued to pour the urine, and whenever the victim came to the shop she will inhale offensive odours and so she decided to investigate. It was gathered that Mrs. Bisuga monitored and eventually trapped her.

She pleaded not guilty.

The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. O.A. Adedayo granted her bail in the sum of N100, 000 with two sureties in like sum.

Two young suspected kidnappers whose ages ranged from 23 years old to 25 years old have been shot dead by gallant men of the FSARS in Ogun State.

The two members of the kidnapping syndicate on the 1st of March 2018, ran out of luck when they engaged the FSARS operatives in a gun duel in a bid to rescue an abducted women.

According to the Police Public Relations
Officer, PPRO Abimbola Oyeyemi, “Trouble started at about 1pm last weekend when a distress call was made to the police that one Mrs. Ajayi, a pastor’s wife has been kidnapped along Abeokuta Ibadan Road”.

Read http://pmexpressng.com/two-suspected-kidnappers-shot-dead-victim-rescued

The woman was said to have boarded a taxi going to Eleweran in Abeokuta area of Ogun State unknown to her that she boarded the wrong vehicle. She was forcefully driven to a dreaded area of Odeda where she was taken into the bush and held hostage.

The kidnappers collected her husband’s number, put a call across to him informing him that his wife was in their custody and that the sum of N2m should be paid for her release.

The victim’s husband who happened to be the pastor of a popular church in Abeokuta quickly informed the police. Upon receiving the information, the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Iliyasu gave a marching order to the officer in-charge of FSARS, DSP Uba Adam to go after the hoodlums, rescue the victim and apprehend the suspects.

In compliance with CP’s directives, the O/C FSARS led his men to the bush where the suspects were technically traced to, and engaged them in a gun battle which lasted for about 45 minutes.

At the end of the encounter, two members of the syndicate were shot and arrested but eventually died on the way to hospital. One policeman was also injured and undergoing treatment in a hospital while the victim was rescued unhurt. Recovered from the suspects were two locally made single barrel guns and four live cartridges.

After the success of the operation, the
Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Iliyasu praised the gallantry display of his men. He enjoined members of the public to always report any criminal incident to the police on time with an assurance that prompt actions will always be taken on such incidences.

A 60-year-old man, Mr. Gabriel Bassey who tricked a 14-year old girl into a sex romp justified his action and told the police that the victim willingly got into bed with him and he was tempted despite her age.

The incident happened at Ijegun area of Alimosho Local Government Area in Lagos where they resided.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the age difference between Bassey and the victim was about 46 years and he was like a grandfather to her.

Akwa Ibom State-born Bassey landed into trouble after being caught in their compound sleeping with the victim.
It was learnt that Bassey was handed over to the police at Ikotun Division after their neighbours who caught him raised alarm and revealed it to the victim’s parents.

P.M.EXPRESS scooped that the Bassey had lured the victim into his apartment, confused her with words, removed her pant and defiled her. Their neighbours who had earlier suspected him mobilised, went to his apartment and forced him to open his door where they met both of them.

However, before then he had already penetrated and had carnal knowledge of her. The matter was then reported to the police, he was arrested and detained at the police station.

P.M.EXPRESS learnt that at the police station Bassey accepted that he slept with her but claimed that he did not force her.

However, the police charged him before Ogba Magistrates court for defilement.

He pleaded not guilty before the Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. F.O. Davis Abegunde.
He was granted bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties in like sum.
He was remanded in prison custody pending when he will perfect his bail condition.

Thailand has accused Nigeria of being responsible for the collapse of its seven rice mills following the drastic fall in rice importation from the country.

The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh made this known at a meeting of the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative ( PFI ) and leadership of the Fertiliser Producers and Suppliers of Nigeria ( FEPSAN ) held at the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Friday.

The meeting was presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Read http://pmexpressng.com/thailand-shut-7-rice-mills-nigeria/

Ogbeh said Thailand’s Ambassador to Nigeria made the “accusation’’ when he visited him in February.

According to the minister, the ambassador lamented that the collapse of the rice mills has increased the unemployment rate in his country from 1.2 per cent to 4 per cent.

“Just like two weeks ago, the Ambassador of Thailand came to my office and said to me that we have really dealt with them.

“But I asked what did we do wrong and he said unemployment in Thailand was one of the lowest in the world, 1.2 per cent, it has gone up to four per cent because seven giant rice mills have shut down because Nigeria’s import has fallen by 95 per cent on rice alone.

“So, Mr President we thank you for the support and we thank all the agencies and those of you in the private sector for your resilience,’’ he said.

The minister, however, alerted the nation on what he described as alarming smuggling of fake fertilizer and rice along the western borders of the country.

He, therefore, called on the Federal Government to take drastic measures to check the trend as all previous diplomatic measures had failed to address the menace.

“But one last request Mr President, we have to take one strong measure against our neighbour to the West. The smuggling is really compromising our capacity on our result.

“Too much rice, too much fake fertilizer is still coming across the borders into this country in spite of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) we have with them they are not listening.

“Maybe if the Federal Government take one tough action, they will come and renegotiate the terms because good neighbourliness means reciprocity.

“We can’t be allowing them to survive at our own expense and I believe that we will do something about it,’’ he said.

Ogbeh appealed to FEPSAN to adjust their blending formula using little more micro nutrients for some crops like cocoa, cashew, plantain, banana and others that would soon be revived by his ministry.

The minister noted that the agricultural sector had created millions of jobs for Nigerians in the last two years.

He said: “People may say what they like about jobs. Recently I heard that we lost four million jobs. Nobody has calculated the millions and millions of jobs created on the farms.

“So, this programme as it grows can only make us stronger.

“As soon as more dams and lakes are put in place, you begin to sell fertilizer all year round and not wait for the rainy season alone.”

An Igbo woman, Mrs. Esther Nweke who went to Ohanaeze Ndigbo Social Cultural meeting wearing a trouser, got what she did not bargain after she was nominated to say prayer at the meeting in Lagos.

The traditional rulers, chiefs and other leaders present at the meeting sighted her with her trouser and immediately ordered her to stop the prayer and pronounced that she had committed an abomination.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that her offence was she came to the meeting on trousers and was said to have been erroneously nominated for the prayer.

Read http://pmexpressng.com/ohanaeze-ndigbo-sanction-woman-trousers/

However, Mrs. Nweke insisted that since she had been nominated to say the closing prayer she would go on. The leaders walked out of the venue of the meeting insisting that they will not partake in such prayer which will attract curses on them.

This caused serious amusement and embarrassment to other women who were present at the meeting.
Even the host, the traditional ruler of Ndigbo in Alimosho LGA, Eze Lawrence Eze did not participate in the prayer and had to turn his back on Mrs. Nweke in order not to be part of the prayer.

P.M.EXPRESS asked why the woman was treated in such a manner. Some of the leaders insisted that Mrs. Nweke had committed an abomination by wearing trousers to the Ohanaeze meeting, talk less of praying in the meeting which they claimed was against the culture and tradition in Igbo land.

It was gathered that her appearance may attract further sanctions to serve as deterrent to other women who might try such in the further.

Eze Lawrence Eze summoned the meeting of the Igbo leaders to proffer solutions to the lingering crises in Alimosho LGA CDAs over the years.
It was gathered that the Igbo people in the LG were divided as such every unit had to form their owner Ohanaeze group; to the extent that the monarch found it difficult knowing who to deal with among the factions.

At the meeting the leaders agreed to unite, pursue a common goal and resolved to set up a committee to look into the crises and resolve them finally.
It was at the meeting that Mrs. Nweke was nominated to say the closing prayer that another problem came up and the women at the meeting were not happy over the ugly incident.

However, it was gathered that in any Igbo social gathering that married women were not supposed to wear trousers to attend such meetings. The women were expected to tie their wrappers signifying that they were married and responsible, but it turned out that such rules were not complied with in the cities.

A police sergeant attached to Zone D Command in Mushin, Ihuoma Njoku was battered while she went to a popular hotel to perform her lawful duty and attempted to arrest a sex worker in Lagos.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that Ihuoma was attacked by a sex worker, a 25-year old Cherish John who tore her uniform and bathed her with a glass of beer she was drinking during the scuffle.

The incident happened at the popular Continental Hotel located at
Papa Ajao area of Mushin where Miss John was looking for male customers.

It was gathered that the suspect and other sex workers were angry that the police came to disrupt their businesses during the period they usually expected their clients in the evening. It was learnt that the police stormed the hotel to arrest the workers and they resisted.
However, the duty became messy after the victim was attacked and the police mobilised other officers who eventually arrested Miss John who was alleged to be behind the attack and detained her at the police station.

She was charged before Isolo Magistrates court for conspiracy to commit felony and assault.

She pleaded not guilty.

The prosecutor, Inspector Rita Momah did not object to her bail but asked the court to grant the suspect bail in such a way that she will be in court to face trial.
The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. O.A. Adedayo granted her bail in the sum of N100,000 with one surety in like sum.
She was remanded in prison custody pending when she will perfect her bail condition.

However, before the suspect was taken to prison she denied the allegation and saying that it was a minor disagreement but the police made up those allegations to rope her in to suffer. She said that it was not that she loved what she was doing but he had no other work and they stayed at the hotel to hustle. She said the police never allowed them to rest despite the fact that the hotel management used to settle them on their behalf.

Contrary to the reports in the media that the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has deployed at least 100 fighter jets towards the search for the 110 schoolgirls abducted on February 19, 2018 in Dapchi, P.M.EXPRESS findings showed it was a bogus claim.

The Nation newspaper had reported that 20 of the jets have flown 200 hours as at late Monday, February 26, according to a fact sheet on the search released by Lai Mohammed, the Information Minister. The report also quoted Babagana Monguno, the National Security Adviser (NSA), who visited Governor Ibrahim Gaidam in Damaturu, the Yobe state, on Tuesday, February 27, as announcing that 80 other planes would join the search for the girls.

“The Nigerian Air Force has deployed 20 aircraft in Maiduguri and 80 others on their way. So far, 200 hours have been utilised in flying sorties looking for these girls. “We have also been made aware of the fact that the Nigerian Air Force will step up its operation regardless of the very hard and severe weather condition.” “Back in Abuja, we have set up our own machinery in dealing with this situation. All the security agencies have been working together. “The situation room has been expanded – the one in the office of the National Security Adviser that is linked directly to all other security agencies but most importantly to the theatre command over here. “I have made efforts with my counterparts across the region to try and work and share intelligence together and see how quickly we can bring to an end this very unfortunate situation. “But, apart from that, we are also looking at other measures in dealing with past occurrences and how to forestall any future occurrence. “The government will continue to push harder, dealing with all organisations – local and international – and engaging with every group that comes forward to see that these girls are brought back safely to their parents. This is a commitment that the government has made,” he said.

P.M.EXPRESS findings showed that since the inception of the Nigerian Airforce, the total number of fighter planes in its inventory is not up to 100; talk less of this huge deceit of the Nigerian public.

The abduction of the school girls is definitely being politicized by this bogus claim by the Airforce. The Minister of Defence should therefore call the Airforce to order for this flagrant display of lack of integrity in pursuit of national security. Let the Nigerian Airforce come up with their inventory that clearly is in public domain.

Not too long ago, P.M.EXPRESS had refuted claims in the media by the Nigerian Airforce that fighter jets were procured from Pakistan for the fight against insurgency, while they only received primary training airplanes. The Nigerian Airforce remains a respected military institution and should only feed the public with the right information about their activities.

There was a tragedy on Saturday evening after a man simply identified as Nzube killed his four kids and their house maid in Anambra State.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Ntueke Street in Awada area of the Obosi close to Onitsha where the victims resided with their mother before Nzube returned and joined them there.

It was scooped that Nzube returned from his base overseas recently after serving jail term and was believed to have been injected with substances which affected his mental state.

Read http://pmexpressng.com/man-hacks-4-kids-house-maid-death/

According to the residents, while Nzube was in prison abroad his wife's family rented the flat for his wife and their children. And when he returned, he joined them there though feeling frustrated. It was gathered that on Saturday evening around 5pm when the incident happened, Nzube was said to have gone out, brought a cutlass and started cutting the victims in parts.

After he successfully killed his own children, he went after their house maid. He struggled with the house maid in the flat before he eventually succeeded in killing her. It was the struggle and the alarm raised by the house maid that alerted the neighbours that something unusual was happening inside the flat.

Meanwhile, the suspect did not move away from the flat and was in the pool of the blood until the police arrived, arrested and took him to the police station.

The residents wondered what would have caused such dastardly act. Some suspected that Nzube might have acted due to a mental problem, but others said that it could be the influence of hard drug.

The parts of the victims had been packed and deposited at the mortuary for investigations and autopsy report.

When P.M.EXPRESS contacted Awada Police Division, the police source confirmed the incident and said they will have to get permission from the Anambra State Commissioner of Police before making any official statements on the matter.

Two convicted criminals, Akeem Jimoh and Rafiu Afolayan have protested before a Lagos court after they were referred to as robbers by clarifying that they were only thieves and not armed robbers operating in Lagos.

They claimed that they were not armed robbers who used violence to rob people rather that they moved in the night, broke shops and stole valuable items for resale in the markets. Afolayan revealed that when they visited any shop in the night and the owner was still present, they will quietly leave the place and will not use violence to steal their items.

Read http://pmexpressng.com/thieves-not-robbers-convicts-protests/

Before they were caught they were said to have broken a shop belonging to one Mrs. Lolade Alanga at Suebatu Street Oshodi Road in Oshodi, Lagos at night and stole wares valued at N3m from it. However, nemesis caught up with them when they carried the bag containing the stolen items to sell them at the Aswani market. The market security men suspected them and the bag and accosted them to explain where they got the items. When they could not explain satisfactorily, they were handed over to the police at Aswani Division.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that during interrogation, they confessed and the owner of the items was contacted and she confirmed that they were her goods.

The convicts were charged before Isolo Magistrates court for conspiracy and stealing, and the bag containing the items was presented as exhibit before the court.



They pleaded guilty.

The prosecutor, Oje Ugbale presented the facts and asked the court to sentence the defendants accordingly to serve as deterrent to others who might attempt to commit similar offence.
The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. A.O. Teluwo found them guilty as charged and sentenced them to one year imprisonment without an option of fine.
It was while they were waiting to be taken to the prison to serve their sentence that they protested in the open court that they were mere thieves and not armed robbers as referred.

Nemesis seemed to be playing out on a mother of six, Mrs. Ebi who dumped her husband seven years ago and got married to her husband’s friend, Mr. Phil and had three kids for him in Lagos.

Her lover, Mr. Phil recently dumped her, asked her to return to her husband with the children and pleaded with him to forgive them because they really offended him.

The incident happened at Ijegun area of Lagos where the estranged Phil and Ebi resided before Phil realised himself and fled from home.

Read http://pmexpressng.com/woman-dumped-husband-lover-gets-dumped-lover/

P.M.EXPRESS scooped that Ebi initially married her husband (name withheld), they resided at Joseph Street in Ejigbo and had three children. Mr. Phil also resided in the same area and was a close friend of Ebi’s husband. It was gathered that Ebi’s husband had a quarrel with her and confided in his friend, Phil who pretended to have waded in to settle their rift.

However, it turned out that it was a ploy to take Ebi from his friend after what later happened that eventually destroyed Ebi’s marriage. The Bayelsa State-born Phil rented an apartment at Ijegun and made Ebi to abandon her husband and their three children and started living with him. Phil and Ebi then had three children together.

Both Phil’s friends and parents condemned the relationship and asked Phil to leave his friend’s wife for him but he refused claiming that Ebi was not in love her husband again and that it was him that she really loved and she had peace of mind with since she started living with him.

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that Phil’s parents continued to warn him of the danger in snatching another man’s wife talk less that of his friend but he did not listen until his parents died last two years. It was gathered that after some time, Phil’s business started falling and eventually collapsed. He was unable to pay house rent, he then moved and started living inside a white garment church at Ijegun area where the church eventually exposed the atrocity.

According to Phil, “the prophet told me that I will suffer, suffer and have little time to live on earth because of the abomination i committed with Ebi by snatching her from her husband.”
He said that it was after the prophecy, that he realised what he was doing, he was in great fear and therefore fled from her. Since then he had not returned to his house and had asked Ebi to return to her husband with the children.

P.M.EXPRESS confirmed that Phil was now staying at his sister’s place at Agege area of Lagos praying and begging God for mercy and forgiveness.
However, Ebi was yet to take any decision as she was said to have still remained in the church premises hoping that Phil will still come back.

Billy Graham – the famed evangelist who became known as “America’s Pastor,” has died at the age of 99.
Graham died at his home Wednesday morning from natural causes, a family spokesman told ABC News.
Born in 1918 in Charlotte, North Carolina, William Franklin Graham Jr. was the oldest of the four children of William and Morrow Graham. He was raised on a dairy farm, and little in his childhood suggested he would become a world-renowned preacher.
Then at 16, Graham attended a series of revival meetings run by outspoken evangelist Mordecai Ham. The two months he spent listening to Ham’s sermons on sin sparked a spiritual awakening in Graham and prompted him to enroll at Bob Jones College. When the conservative Christian school’s strict doctrine didn’t align with his personal beliefs, he transferred to the Florida Bible Institute (now Trinity College of Florida) and joined a Southern Baptist Convention church. He was ordained in 1939

Graham received additional training at Illinois’ Wheaton College, where he met his future wife, Ruth McCue Bell. They were married for 64 years, until her death in 2007, and had five children.
After serving briefly as the pastor of the First Baptist Church in Western Springs, Illinois, Graham launched his first radio program, “Songs in the Night,” in 1943. Although he left a year later, Graham liked the idea of sharing his message with a wide audience. As noted on his website, Graham took Jesus Christ literally when he said in Mark 16:15: “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.”
Graham was still in his early 30s when entered the public spotlight by giving a series of well-attended “sin-smashing” revival meetings that were held under a circus tent in a Los Angeles parking lot. The press took interest in the charismatic young preacher and began writing articles about him. To get his message to even more people, Graham founded his own ministry, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

Graham viewed the Bible as the infallible word of God. He believed that Jesus led a sinless life and that all men were lost and would face God’s judgment. Most importantly, he was convinced he must use “every modern means of communication available” to spread the Gospel throughout the world, and did so in print, on radio and television, online and in person.
Graham’s sermons promoted evangelism and railed against “godless communism,” drugs, sex and violence. And for the next five decades, his electric personality connected with audiences in more than 185 countries.
Graham was the first evangelist of note to speak behind the Iron Curtain, and during the Apartheid era he refused to visit South Africa until the government allowed integrated seating at his events. He published dozens of best-selling books, including Angels: God’s Secret Agents and The Jesus Generation, and wrote a weekly column that was syndicated in hundreds of newspapers

Graham received numerous honors, including the Horatio Alger Award, the George Washington Honor Medal, the Ronald Reagan Freedom Award and the Congressional Gold Medal. A highway in Charlotte bears his name, as does part of Interstate 240 near his home in Asheville, North Carolina. In 1989, he became the first clergyman to be granted a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his work as a minister.
Graham also had a major effect on the civil rights movement of the 1950s and ’60s. His early crusades were segregated, but once the U.S. Supreme Court issued its landmark Brown v. Board of Education ruling in 1954, which found public school segregation unconstitutional, Graham integrated the seatings at his revival meetings.
Graham befriended the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as well, and together they preached to more than 2 million people in New York City. When questioned about his views on faith and race, Graham argued there was no scriptural basis for segregation.

As his message spread, Graham was granted personal audiences with royalty, dignitaries and many sitting presidents, from Harry S. Truman to Barack Obama. Three presidents were even on hand in 2007 for the dedication of the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte. Despite being a registered Democrat, Graham opposed the candidacy of John F. Kennedy, and actively encouraged other religious leaders to speak out about the dangers of having a Roman Catholic in the White House.
Though beloved by millions, Billy Graham was not without his detractors. Some fundamentalist Christians took issue with his ecumenical approach to evangelism, and after his 1957 crusade in New York, opponents of Graham’s more liberal theology began calling him “the Antichrist.” According to the biography Billy: A Personal Look at Bill Graham, the World’s Best-Loved Evangelist by Sherwood Eliot Wirt, one Christian educator even said that Graham was “the worst thing to happen to the Christian church in two thousand years.” More recently, detractors blasted Graham’s continued belief that homosexual behavior was a “sinister form of perversion,” and his intolerance against the very presence of gay and lesbian couples within Christianity.
As his health began to fail, Billy Graham decided to announce his retirement in 2005. His final sermon,“The Cross ― Billy Graham’s Message To America,” called for a national spiritual awakening.
