I Went Into Robbery To Give My Mum A Befitting Burial - Suspect Arrested In Delta (Photos)
A 24-year-old robbery suspect arrested in Delta State, Chinagorom Emmanuel, has confessed that he went into robbery to enable him to raise money and give his late mother a befitting burial, IGBERETV reports.
Emmanuel who was arrested by men of Agbor Gha-Ihun Vigilante Group in Agbor, Ika South Local Government Area of the state, hails from Abia State.
He specialised in stealing phones and other valuable items in Agbor and other communities.
Speaking to newsmen, Emmanuel said he is an electrical technician but resorted to stealing to give his mother whose body is lying in the mortuary, a befitting burial as the first son.
“I enter people's shops pretending to buy an item. But I aim to steal valuable items like phones. This is my first time in Agbor, and I met my waterloo in one of my victim’s shops,” he said.
Speaking further, he said he chose crime since he has nobody to help him. Emmanuel also disclosed that he deals with a northerner based in Asaba, who buys the stolen phones.
He pleaded for forgiveness, as he admitted that his criminal activities had disgraced him.
However, the Chairman of Agbor Gha-Ihun Vigilante, Comrade Monday Kiyem, said Emmanuel will be made to face the wrath of the law for causing people pain over their stolen goods. Kiyem said;
“Emmanuel is in the business of stealing phones. We have found many sim cards and phones in his possession and many of his victims we succeeded in calling complained that their phones were stolen.
“Some of their Agbor victims have come to our office to identify their phones and narrated how Emmanuel came to their shops pretending to buy an item and stole their phones. I will hand Emmanuel over to the police for further investigation and bring his fleeing gang members to book."
Students Protest Murder Of AAUA Graduate Over N1000 Debt (Photos)
There was pandemonium at Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba, Akoko (AAUA), Ondo State, after Temitayo, a recent graduate of the institution was fatally stabbed by an indigene over a 1,000 naira payment misunderstanding, IGBERETV reports.
Temitayo, was stabbed with scissors in the early hours of Thursday, April 6, around Ebenco filling, opposite Akua junction, Akungba. Temitayo was rushed to Aduloju Hospital along Iwaro road where he later succumbed to his injuries.
IGBERETV gathered that Temitayo recently graduated from the department of Physics Electronics and was still in the school waiting to defend his undergraduate project.
The University’s Student Union source told newsmen that Temitayo had intervened in a naira payment dispute between an “Egbon Adugbo” and a third party, where he promised to settle the bill for the latter.
Temidayo was able to reimburse the perpetrators 3000 naira out of the 4000 naira but was unable to pay the remaining 1,000 naira outstanding which resulted into an argument causing the death of the fresh graduate.
“A guy (the third party) was owing them money,” the source said “and he told them (the perpetrators) that he will help the guy to pay the money to avoid drama. So he paid 3k out of the 4K and couldn’t raise the last 1k. So they started disturbing him and he said they should stop disturbing him that he did not owe them that he only rendered a help and this afternoon(today) a guy came into the villa.”
“As usual they acted as Egbon ADUGBO to collect money. So he said he can’t give them, which led into an argument as if they’d meant to deal with him … and they came from nowhere to stab him after a lot of arguments and they scattered the villa with bottles and spoiled our gate.”
According to BigSam Pelumi Akerele's Facebook post, angry students of the institution burnt the family house of the indigene who is on the run.
"Students have trooped out in search of the Indigene, his family House has been reportedly burnt by angry Students, but he is yet to be located as at the time of filing this report.", BigSam wrote.

I Will Not Grant My Wife Divorce Until She Swears Before Deity - Man Tells Abuja
A man identified as Sunday Enejo, begged a Customary Court in Jikwoyi, Abuja not to grant his wife divorce until she swears before a deity that she was not engaged in an extramarital affair, IGBERETV reports.
In a divorce petition filed by his wife, Rose, a businesswoman, she alleged that Enejo was a violent man and constantly beat her. Enejo refused to grant Rose the divorce until she swears before ‘Aniku’ (a holistic deity).
"I will not grant my wife divorce until she follows me to the village to swear before “Aniku” that she is not having an extramarital affair." he told the court.
However, the presiding judge, Labaran Gusau, adjourned the matter until April 4, 2023, for a hearing.
Former Governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose has threatened to file a lawsuit against the Peoples Democratic Party for suspending him, IGBERETV reports.
Eventhough Fayose's suspension has been reversed, he described the suspension as "libellous" and "defamatory". He claimed it was done to tarnish his image.
Fayose's lawyer, Akinwale Kol-Taiwo, has written a letter to PDP's acting national chairman, Iliya Damagum.
The letter dated March 31 read;
“We are further informed by our client that by the letter dated 24th March 2023, the reversal of our client’s suspension from Peoples Democratic Party which was done without recourse to laid down procedure/due process of law as contained in the constitution of the Peoples Democratic Party (as amended in 2017) was requested,” the letter reads.
“The Peoples Democratic Party, in retracing its steps and by implication admitting the content of the letter dated 24th March 2023, reversed the suspension of our client by a press release issued on 30th March 2023 through the office of the national publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party.
“The aforesaid libellous press release was designed to smear and tarnish the good reputation of our client in the eyes of right-thinking members of the society, as well as to subject our client to odium, ridicule, and public opprobrium in presence of his political associates and the general public.
“While we do not contend that the Peoples Democratic Party reserve the power(s) to take disciplinary action against any erring member(s), it is much more pertinent to state that the said power(s) to take disciplinary action is not absolute, the said power(s) to take disciplinary action is limited to doctrine of fair hearing as enshrined in the Peoples Democratic Party Constitution (as amended in 2017) and the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999) as amended. As such, your disciplinary powers must not be seen to infringe on the right of another citizen or person.
“There is no doubt that the action of the national working committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (NWC) in this purported suspension saga acted rashly on baseless and unfounded allegations, thereby making our party — the Peoples Democratic Party — not just look weak, but disorganised.”
Kol-Taiwo said he will commence legal actions against PDP, if the party fails to issue an apology to Fayose within 72 hours of receiving the letter.
Nigerian singer, Davido said he feels that the 2023 general elections were not credible, IGBERETV reports.
In a recent interview with BeatFM, the singer was asked about his overview of the just concluded general elections. Responding, he said;
‘’I am happy that people were not really coming at me because they know if I was online I would b*tch. I will be vocal, I have always been vocal about it. I wasn't happy about it. That's just being honest. It is what it is. I personally don't feel like that was a credible election.''
Domestic Worker Sentenced To Death For Killing His Employer And Her Daughter In Lagos (Photos)
The Ikeja High Court on Monday, March 27, sentenced a domestic staff, Joseph Ogbu, to death by hanging for killing his 89-year-old employer, Ajoke John and her daughter, Oreoluwa John, 38, in Lagos, IGBERETV reports.
It was reported that the convict, who hails from Oju Local Govt Area of Benue State, brutally murdered the victims at their residence at Number 4 Ogunlana Drive in Surulere, on June 19, 2019, 24 hours after he was employed.
The defence counsel, Moses Enema, in his allocutus, prayed the court to have mercy on the convict.
However, the state counsel, Olarewaju Daud, urged the court to convict the defendant as charged.
Daud told the court that the convict committed the offences at 9:30 p.m. on Ogunlana Drive, Surulere, Lagos.
The prosecution submitted that the defendant killed Ms Oreoluwa by stabbing her. He said the defendant also robbed the deceased of her car, phones and Plasma TV while armed with a knife.
He also said the convict, armed with a knife, robbed the octogenarian of her Toyota Camry Saloon car with Registration No. FST 104 CW, LG plasma TV, motorway handset, Gionee handset, Nokia phone, i-Tel Phone and power bank.
The offence, the prosecutor said, contravened sections 222 and 297 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State (2015).
Justice Modupe Nicole-Clay held that the prosecution had sufficiently proven the three-count charge bordering on armed robbery and murder against the convict. Nicole-Clay held that the defendant confessed to the crime as he admitted to living with the deceased and was the only witness of the incident.
"He killed Adejoke by strangling her and Oreoluwa by stabbing her to death. As the defence did not raise an objection to the admissibility of the confessional statement, there is no doubt that the defendant confessed to the crimes.
“I have considered the evidence of the security guard, an Okada man, one Yahya Ibrahim, the house help and a police Inspector.
The defendant could not explain what he was doing with all the stolen items he was found with at about 2:00 a.m. on the date he was arrested.
“The court is satisfied with the total evidence to establish the guilt of the defendant.
“This court has found Joseph Ogbu guilty of these heinous crimes, and you are hereby sentenced to death by hanging. May God have mercy on your soul,”
The convict prayed the court for mercy. “The mama no die for my presence. I beg for mercy,” the convict cried in pidgin English.
Former Kaduna senator, Shehu Sani, has prayed for an accurate and credible conduct of the 2023 national population and housing census, IGBERETV reports.

Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike has said he won’t run away from Nigeria due to the fear of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), after May 29, when his tenure expires, IGBERETV reports.
The governor was reacting to recent revelations by the Chairman of EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa, that the agency would arrest corrupt governors whose tenures end on May 29.
The governor while speaking on Channels Television breakfast programme, SUNRISE on Monday, said he would gladly honour the EFCC if invited at the end of his tenure on May 29.
In his words;
“I’m not going to run away because of EFCC. Why should they invite me? If they invite me, I will honour their invitation. I will not run away.”
The federal government has announced that the National Population and Housing Census will begin on 3rd May 2023, IGBERETV reports.
Dr. Garba Abari, a member of the Publicity and Advocacy Committee on 2023 National Population and Housing Census, said the three-day exercise would start on May 3 and end on May 5 across the country.
Abari, who is the Director General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), said the census would capture every person, household and structure for national planning and project execution purposes.
He further said that the change in the date was due to the postponement of this year’s governorship and Houses of Assembly elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Abari said;
“That change by INEC made it mandatory for us to also adjust the date for the conduct of the exercise. The census had to be put forward from the initial date of March 29 to April 2, now to May 3 to 5.
“There are two things that informed the shift in date. First, in the course of our planning by the National Population Commission, it was so factored that INEC would also tinker with its own electoral timetable.
“The governorship election, as you are aware, had to be shifted by one week. This had a telling effect on the date of commencement of the census.
“Just like election, the census is also a very long process: from the training, the sub-trainings, retraining leading up till the very day of the actual house listing and numbering.
“These will then be followed by the actual capture of the population.”
On how prepared they are for the exercise, Abari said;
“Most of the information that has gone out to the public about the census, like the awareness creation, sensitisation, enlightenment, advocacy around the census, has all been taking place.
“Perhaps, not on a scale that will make us feel comfortable to say every Nigerian is now census conscious, census aware, despite the very significant role that it has to play in our national life.
“But, clearly, the census is absolutely important because it is for development, planning, security, infrastructure development, educational, health and other demographic considerations all encapsulating in one.”
Labour Party's presidential candidate, Peter Obi has explained that the Obidient movement is not about his tribe or religion, IGBERETV reports.
He wrote on his Twitter handle;
"In the life of every nation, there is a turning point. For Nigeria, that time is now; a time to save Nigeria, save our democracy and give the Nigerian youths hope. The OBIdient Movement has been the arrowhead in the take back Nigeria mission.
"My role in the Movement is that of a Focal Point. As I've always stressed, Nigeria remains a secular state. As such, the movement is not about my tribe or my religion, and it is not an Igbo agenda or in any way, to Christianize Nigeria.
"No one should ascribe ethnic or religious colouration to the OBIdient Movement. Nigeria is one and my ambition is to become the President of a United and Indivisible Nigeria. -PO"
The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Godwin Emefiele, has apologised to Nigerians for the rise in failed electronic banking transactions, IGBERETV reports.
Emefiele made the apology at the end of the two-day monetary policy committee meeting in Abuja on Tuesday, March 22.
In his words;
“I must apologise. Yes, online channels fail. But no doubt it is as a result of the deluge of online transactions that hit the banking industry. But it is being resolved.
“On a daily basis, our payments system management department monitor the online payment platforms so as to make sure that when there is a downtime, they are quickly resolved so that transactions can go on smoothly.”
Nigeria singer, Simisola Ogunleye-Kosoko, popularly known as Simi, has said that the budget for the 2023 elections should have been used to fix schools and hospitals, IGBERETV reports.

“300 billion naira budget for this joke of an election. @inecnigeria you might have as well given them back the money to fix some hospitals and schools and just used finger to point at the people you wanted to select.”
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has debunked claim of its Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, attempting to falsify Abia governorship election results, IGBERETV reports.
An earlier report had it that Nnenna Oti, the returning officer, had said during the collation exercise that Yakubu personally called her and gave her some criteria to follow in collating the governorship election results but that she decided that the will of Abia voters would not be subverted under her watch.
In reaction to the claim, chief press secretary to the INEC chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi said Yakubu never called the returning officer to give her a directive.
The statement read;
“Rather, the Returning Officer wanted the official communication on the Commission’s decision to suspend the collation of results in Abia State. The Chairman then directed that pending the delivery of the hard copies, the soft copies of the Commission’s letter be forwarded immediately to the Resident Electoral Commissioner of Enugu State and the Administrative Secretary of Abia State.
“The Returning Officer for Abia State then directed that the content of the letter should be read aloud by the Administrative Secretary in the presence of agents of political parties, observers, the media, and security personnel at the Collation Centre.
“This is what is now being mischievously interpreted as a directive to the Returning Officer on some phantom criteria at variance with the approved guidelines. There is nothing like that.
“In fact, the content of the letter is basically the same as the Commission’s Press Release dated Monday 20th March 2023 which has since been uploaded to the Commission’s social media platforms and is already in the public domain.
“The public should disregard the story as fake news.”
Actor Olumide Oworu Breaks His Silence After House Of Assembly Election
Actor Olumide Oworu has broken his silence after his name was excluded in the Saturday, March 18, election for the Surulere Constituency of the Lagos state House of Assembly, which was won by actor, Desmond Elliott, IGBERETV reports.
In a statement released, Olumide insisted his participation in the election exercise was not for clout. With regards to his name not being on the ballot paper on the day of the election, Olumide stated that INEC failed to obey a court order issued on February 2, directing the commission to open its website for Labour party to submit the names of its candidates or accept the manual submission. He added that INEC failed to upload the names on the list sent by the Labour Party in October 2022.
He wrote:
‘’Regarding the authenticity of my candidacy and my name not appearing on the ballot, that is a situation that came about due to the failure of the INEC to comply with the subsisting judgment of the Federal High Court delivered on the 2nd of February 2023 in Suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/2115/2022 wherein INEC was ordered to open her website to allow the labour party to submit the list of her candidates or accept the same manually immediately. INEC failed to upload the names on the list sent by the Labour Party in October 2022. I assure you that this endeavour was not one for clout but was borne out of a genuine desire for change.''
Labour Party's presidential candidate, Peter Obi has urged his followers not to hold #ENDINEC, #ENDNigeria Protest being planned by Obidients, IGBERETV reports.
He wrote on his Twitter handle;
"My attention has been drawn to social media postings suggesting that a nation-wide groundswell "#ENDINEC", "#ENDNigeria" Protest is being planned by the Obidients. We are aware that those postings are being orchestrated by the Opposition.
"My position is clear: Without prejudice to constitutional dictates on freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, I have publicly stated that in the matter of reclaiming our stolen mandate, we shall do so robustly, via the Courts and Due Process.
"Regardless of the misgivings many may have about our Judiciary, we must strive to build strong and resilient institutions, of which the Judiciary is one. As a firm believer in the separation of powers between the three arms of government,
"I am conscious that every so often, the Judiciary is called upon to vindicate itself on epochal national public-interest issues. The matter presently before the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) is one such litmus test case.
"Therefore, we are committed to pursuing Due Process in an unfettered manner. That is our primary and priority option. -PO"
Shi’ite Members Accuse El-Rufai's Security Escorts Of Killing Five Protesting Members
Security operatives attached to the convoy of the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, clashed with Shi’ite members in Bakin Ruwa Area of Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State, IGBERETV reports.
The governor’s convoy came in contact with the Shi’ite members while they were performing their weekly procession on Thursday evening, March 16, at Bakin Ruwa along Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway.
A Shi'ite leader, Abu Nurayn, accused the Kaduna State Government of killing 5 of their members and alleged that stray bullet that originated from the guns of security operatives attached to the state Governor’s convoy hit many including innocent passers-by now receiving treatment in hospitals.
He told journalists: “Imagine just two days after Kaduna State Governor, Nasiru El-Rufai, incited members of his party, the All Progressives Congress in Zaria, against the disciples of the leader of the Islamic movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky, where he told them that they must Vote his anointed candidate, Senator Uba Sani, so he may finish off remnants of Shiites in Zaria, not less than five innocent members of the movement were gunned down by a combined team of heavily armed military and police on Thursday, during our traditional peaceful protest.
“The Governor then told the APC faithful that it’s only his successor that can fight and finish the Shiites in the state.
“Incidentally, less than 48 hours to the state’s Governoship election members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria came out to peacefully protest against the federal government’s refusal to obey court’s order and release the passport of our leader, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky to travel out for medical treatment, El-Rufai’s convoy, from nowhere, ran into the protesters and opened fire on them with live ammunition, killing more than five on the spot, among whom were women and children. Several others sustained various degrees of life threatening injuries.”
However, when contacted, a Shi’ite leader in the Kaduna, Usman Abdullahi said the 5 killed were not their members but innocent victims of stray bullets.
He said: “Those killed were commercial bus drivers and/or their conductors looking for passengers close to where our members were attacked.
“Those who said our members clashed or hauled stones at the convoy were economical with the truth.”
Spokesman of the Kaduna State Police command , DSP Mohammed Jalige, confirmed the incident, saying investigation was ongoing and that a statement would be issued later.

Popular Nigerian disc jockey, DJ Switch, has said that the Devil lives in Nigeria and is majorly amongst the political elites, IGBERETV reports.
In a Twitter thread shared on her handle, DJ Switch argued that the ritualists people hear about are actually the political elites who kill directly or through their proxies just to retain power.
See her tweets below.
"A thread!
“The Devil You know”
Don’t look for the devil anywhere… they are in Nigeria, they are the majority of our political elites. The ritualists you hear about should be demystified by now because they are your political elites! You cannot tell me nothing…
"if it is okay for politicians to kill their citizens, either personally or through the security agencies or through thuggery to retain/gain/steal power then that is ritualistic sacrifice! If it is okay for politicians that are well travelled…
"and they believe their children should have the best education/vacation/medical attention while they siphon the people’s money to sponsor their personal lives and that of their families while the people suffer…
"There’s a lack of jobs, but they don’t want people to japa but their children has japa-ed! Is this too complex for you people to understand? ?? And I’m referring to those that are supporting this satanism…
"if I might add, because they know if they allow you to be educated… ah, you’ve heard the phrase now, “Knowledge is Power.” They’ve also weaponized poverty, they know when to feed you…
"then they are devilish to the core… no single source of light is in them. You are dealing with satanic occultists and I don’t even believe in half of these things but this has got to be the hell that the Bible is referring to…
"If the Will of the people means absolutely nothing to you because of your ambition, you are a demon! Politicians have used all the tools against you, from the lack of a standard educational system and free education…
"that is why they hid Covid-19 palliatives so they can feed you rotten food in the election period and you still don’t recognize you are dealing with demonic principalities? ??
"But when you stand by and watch daylight sorcery and still find a way to support it then you ought to be in hell where you belong!
Oti tan!
"One more gaddamn time: I am a supporter of equality, equity, free and fair elections and whoever wins, wether we like it or not… we would hold accountable!"
"all because of your pockets?? ?? For favor? You supporters of evil are demonic minions! I am so angry at the unnecessary loss of life and for what?? ?? For fucking what?? ??"

A 40-foot container on Friday morning, March 10, fell near the General Hospital, Ikeja Underbridge, Lagos State, IGBERETV reports.
A tweet by the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority noted that the container needed to be offloaded before recovery was done.
It read;
“#RoadIncident. A fallen 40-foot container-laden truck fell at General Hospital under bridge Ikeja. It needs to be offloaded before recovery is done. Personnel fully on the ground managing traffic accordingly.”
President Buhari has said that the election which declared APC Presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu as President-Elect stands and that anyone who is aggrieved with the outcome of the February 25, 2023 Presidential election, should proceed to the court, if they have the locus to do so, IGBERETV reports.
In a statement issued on Thursday, March 9, titled “At the 5th United Nations Conference on Least Developed Countries, LDCs'', Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu disclosed that President Buhari is against any plans to annul the elections which many have said was characterized by irregularities.
According to Garba, President Buhari has said that he will not allow June 12, 1993, saga to repeat itself. He pointed out that before the President's trip to Doha for the UN Conference, there were calls for the cancellation of the elections but that he had always maintained that the outcome of the election will be accepted by his government and must stand.
“In addition to other things, this trip, more than any other, speaks to the courage, political stamina and statesmanship with which the President has managed the affairs of the nation. Before the trip, he was faced with orchestrated attempts to poison public opinion against national institutions, particularly the presidential election and its conduct by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, as an institution, against which vile and unsubstantiated allegations were hurled.
The clear intent of this was creating an atmosphere of fear, polarising the public and demonising the administration of the President. The wishful thinkers appeared to assume that the June 12, 1993, election crisis, the worst ever since the civil war could be recreated.
Those who sought to do this forgot what the President said at the palace of the Gbong-Gwon Jos, when he went to the city to inaugurate the Tinubu-Shettima campaign: “this election will not be annulled; whoever is the winner will be president.
President Buhari not only muted himself, following the cacophony, he picked up international travel: Bola Tinubu’s election stands. If you are aggrieved, and you have the locus to do so, go to court. President Buhari used the opportunity of the visit to speak to his guests about the recent election in Nigeria and the fact that a new President would be taking over in less than three months.
