Some of the most spiritual ladies I know, wear trousers. Their fruit shows Them to be genuine children of God.

However, if you think it is sinful, then abstain from wearing it, just so you are at peace with yourself.

However, you should never force your beliefs and interpretations down someone else's throat.

There are weightier issues to concern oneself with, not trouser or make-up etc. God is not petty like we humans.

preshuzpearl:

Guy u irritate me with the use of your inappropraite words. And then you use scripture to support. What gives you the right to call a church such as deeperlife and apostolic faith a 'cult'? Refrain from uttering such words so as not to bring unwanted judgement on yourself and Stop claiming knowlegde of what you are ignorant of.
If something is too hard for you to understand, leave it alone your level of faith simply doesn't measure up.

cult
/kəlt/
Noun
A system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.

Do you understand now?

I have to commend you Frosbel. I have read every single one of these pages with sheer amazement at the level of vulgarity displayed by self proclaimed spiritual brothers and sisters. From an independent point of view, Frosbel has carried himself with dignity, and has not responded to insults with vulgar words like some other people here. Who is showing more of Christ-likeness?

Most "holy brothers", Why not pause and think? This is why the church is so powerless in Nigeria. The crusade grounds are filled to bursting, yet there is no measurable impact on the country because the masses refuse to know God for themselves. They would rather follow humans and their teachings. Majority of modern day Nigerian Christians are idolaters because they worship men of God, and forsake God himself.

Millions go for church conventions, yet they will never take time to study the word, meditate and know God personally. Instead, they go home, beat their wives, fornicate, commit adultery, steal, cheat, watch porn to stupor, use vulgar words, and generally display character that repel unbelievers from God.

Please think. It is not a sin to think. Meditation means to think deeply. It is scriptural to use your brain. Even God said "come, let's reason together..."

Also, my check engine light came up, I ran a diagnostic scan on it, and codes P1155 (O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Intermittant (Bank 2 Sensor 2)) and P1112 (Engine Coolant Temperature Radiator Outlet Sensor High Input) came up.

Any idea what I should do? P1112 seems easy ( replace the engine coolant temperature sensor) although I have no idea where to get the new parts. Ladipo people will not do, to avoid getting an already condemned one.

The P1155 is a real head-scratcher though. Absolutely no idea what to do.

Thanks in advance.

Hello guys.

I'm wondering if I can get the BMW Peake SRS Airbag Scan Reset Tool to purchase from anyone/anywhere in Nigeria, or if there's anyone or an autoshop with the tool and located in Lagos?
I had to replace my worn out steering wheel, and the airbag light has been on since. Car's an e46.

Thanks.

This one is not as extra-ordinary as what my eyes saw in OAU. Those Awo boys were crazy without need for motivation.

Wish there had been camera phones in those days.

A guy once entered my school fellowship service dressed only in a towel wrapped round his waist, and a pair of slippers. Aluta or no Aluta, that was crazy!

Isn't this Tiwa Savage? If she's the one, the way she makes-up normally actually conceals her natural looks. This minimalist make-up suits her well. She looks classy for once.

Reality is one day we're all going to die. Some people are going to die today, and they don't know. That's the nature of life.

Adanyebe: his jokes are no longer funny these days

You're very right. Very dry jokes sef.

Sleeping while driving is caused by tiredness, and with the regime of wake-early-to-avoid-traffic, stay-late-at-work-to-avoid-traffic that we have in Lagos, it's inevitable that majority of workers will be perpetually tired on the wheels.
I've dozed off once while driving on Lagos-Ibadan express way, and once on the way to Ogun state from Lagos. What I did on those occasions was to pull over in a safe place and have a 15 minute rest with my eyes shut. I stopped feeling sleepy each time.

I also discovered that when I eat a full meal before traveling, I become drowsy, and usually nod off, so I don't eat at all when going for a long journey. One thing that also helps me is taking an energy drink when I start feeling drowsy. It really helps.

I hit the car in front of me once when I slept off while driving to VI, around Lekki first roundabout. It was about 5.30am in the morning, and thank God for traffic. The car in front had those protruding towing stumps and wasn't damaged at all, while my car's license plate folded forward as if it was clapping in amazement at my driving skills.

I have a friend whose wife died when she dozed off at the steering wheel and had her car go over a cliff. I believe sleeping off at the wheels is the leading cause of fatal accidents.

This is what happens when people are addicted to Grand Theft Auto. One day one day, they must act it out in real life.

Aunty Karen, please is this really the best you can do?

Stranger than fiction.

y Son Is Not A Murderer, Mother Of Suspected Banker Wife Killer Says

Bolanle Arowole, the 52-year-old mother of Akolade Arowolo, who allegedly killed his banker wife, Titilayo has absolved her son of complicity in the death of his wife.

Akolade Arowolo, who allegedly killed his banker wife

“I know his behaviour well enough and he has been a pastor at age 12. Though I don’t know what killed her (Titilayo) but I will disagree with anybody who tells me that my son killed her because he is not that kind of a child.”

Mrs Bolanle said she fainted at the residence of the couple on the 25th of June 2011, when she learnt that Titilayo’s lifeless body was lying in the apartment.

She said Akolade’s younger brother, Tunde, was the first to go in to the couple’s apartment through the ceiling and came back to break the news.

She said, “The news that Titilayo was in that apartment was shocking because she had long moved to her father’s place after issues relating to an abortion she had without her husband’s consent.

“As soon as Tunde told me that he found Titilayo dead in the apartment, I fainted and just suddenly woke up inside a vehicle while they were taking me for medical care.

“I saw Akolade five days after at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti. I met him in a very bad state and he couldn’t even utter a word and speak with me.

“He had deep cuts on his palm while he also sustained wounds on his arm, navel region, and some other body parts and the police said they were taking him to the hospital for medical treatment.”

Mrs Bolanle also described her son’s marriage to the deceased as accidental.

She said, “I first met Titilayo in July 2007 when Akolade brought her home and described her to me as his school mate at his master’s degree class.

“I didn’t see Titilayo again until July 2008 when Akolade brought her home again that she was pregnant for him. I was shocked at the development and asked Titilayo if she was truly from a Christian family.

“Both of them begged me and my husband & i went to see the deceased parents after two weeks. But, after one month, my son suddenly brought the wedding invitation cards saying he had fixed a date in consultation with the deceased’s family.”

After cross examination Justice Lateefah Okunnu adjourned till 29 January for continuation of the case of the defence.

Drug convict on death row in Malaysia is Nigerian, not Zambian -Consular

The Zambian government has discovered that a 35 year old man who is on a death row in Malaysia for drug trafficking claiming to be Zambian is not a Zambian national after-all, but a Nigerian who had obtained a Zambian passport .



The man claiming to be Emmanuel Kasanda of Zambia was last year sentenced to death by hanging by a Penang High court for trafficking in 37 capsules of Heroin weighing 160 grams.

Mr. Kasanda whose real names are not known was discovered to be a Nigerian national traveling on a Zambian Passport.

The discovery was made after a recent consular visit to the death row convict by Zambian officials.

The convict confessed to be a Nigerian national who dubiously obtained a Zambian passport to facilitate his easy movements.

He was arrested in October 2006 at Penang International Airport for trafficking in 37 capsules of heroin which he had swallowed.

A statement issues by the Zambian Drug Enforcement Commission spokesperson John Nyawali, stated that one, Mailesi Phiri who is also facing a possible death penalty in that country for drug trafficking, has been confirmed to be a Zambian. Mailesi is a Zambian national, contacts with her family in Zambia have been established" the statement said.

Nigerian man stripped of his U.S. citizenship following his conviction for marriage and naturalization fraud

HOUSTON - A Nigerian man on Monday was stripped of his U.S. citizenship at his sentencing hearing for conspiracy to commit marriage fraud, marriage fraud, naturalization fraud, and making a false statement to a federal agency. The sentence was announced by U.S. Attorney José Angel Moreno, southern District of Texas. The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

Ibraheem Adeneye, 33, who is originally from Nigeria and became a naturalized U.S. citizen, was convicted of the charges May 7 by a jury. He has been in federal custody on these charges for about six months. U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt sentenced Adeneye to the time he has already served in prison. The judge also granted the government's motion to strip Adeneye of his U.S. citizenship. Adeneye is now subject to deportation.

The ICE HSI investigation was initiated in 2008. Adeneye indicated that he was engaged in brokering sham marriages between Nigerian nationals and U.S. citizens so that the Nigerians could obtain immigration benefits, ultimately leading to U.S. citizenship. In return, the U.S. citizen "spouses" received cash payments to assist the Nigerians in the deception.

ICE agents made contact with Adeneye by using a confidential informant (CI), who had been previously married to Adeneye, and an undercover agent (UCA) posing as a U.S. citizen willing to engage in a fraudulent marriage. The CI introduced the UCA to Adeneye and Adeneye brokered an agreement between a Nigerian acquaintance and the UCA. A sham marriage was arranged between the UCA and the Nigerian national. Three days after their meeting the UCA engaged in a sham marriage ceremony at the Harris County, Texas, courthouse. County officials were aware of the undercover operation and no actual marriage was entered into by the UCA.

The investigation discovered that Adeneye's own marriage to the CI from 2002 through 2007 was fraudulent, and that the defendant had never lived with his purported spouse. Documents submitted to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in support of the defendant's application for U.S. citizenship, and sworn to by Adeneye, falsely claimed he had been married to and living with the same U.S. citizen spouse for the previous three years.

Nigerian national arrested for allegedly coercing underage girl
Engineering student charged with enticing undercover HSI agent posing as 16-year-old girl

Nigerian national arrested for allegedly coercing underage girl

EL PASO, Texas — A Nigerian national was arrested Aug. 16 after he arrived at a local residence to have sex with a person he believed to be a 16-year-old girl. Instead, he was met by a special agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

Obinna Vincent Uzoh, 31, is charged with coercing and enticing a child. According to court documents, he approached a teenage girl in July, asked for her phone number and requested they meet even though he knew she was 16 years old. He gave the teen his phone number and asked that she text him.

Uzoh contacted the girl through a social network site earlier this month, unaware her identity had been assumed by an ICE HSI undercover agent. The agent and Uzoh communicated several times on the networking site and via text messages for a few days. Uzoh repeatedly asked if he could visit the teen at her house when she was alone, and described certain sexual acts he wanted to perform.

On Aug. 16, the undercover agent, posing as the teen, gave Uzoh an address. A short time later, Uzoh walked to the front door and knocked. Agents opened the door, and took him into custody.

"Child predators are a parent's worst nightmare," said Manuel Oyola-Torres, special agent in charge of ICE HSI in El Paso. "Individuals who prey on children should know by now, that ICE HSI will pursue them, and put them behind bars for a long time."

Uzoh reportedly is a petroleum engineer who claimed to attend the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, in Socorro, N.M. He had his first court appearance Aug. 17 and remains in federal custody without bond. His preliminary and detention hearing is set for Aug. 22 in federal court. If convicted, Uzoh faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in federal prison.

The Texas Department of Public Safety assisted with the arrest.

This investigation was part of Operation Predator, an ICE initiative to protect children from sexual predators, including those who travel overseas for sex with minors, Internet child pornographers, criminal alien sex offenders, and child sex traffickers. ICE encourages the public to report suspected child predators by calling at 1-866-DHS-2-ICE. For more information, visit www.ice.gov.

Nigerian arrested at Houston airport after allegedly ingesting heroin pellets

HOUSTON — A Nigerian man was arrested and charged Friday for allegedly ingesting 65 pellets totaling about one kilogram (2.2 pounds) of heroin, announced U.S. Attorney Kenneth Magidson, Southern District of Texas. This investigation is being conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Sunday Okechukwu Ogbonu, 47, a citizen of Nigeria, arrived at Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston Aug. 10 aboard Emirates flight 211 from Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Ogbonu's itinerary indicated he had traveled from Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Nigeria to Dubai International Airport seven days earlier. He had a scheduled return flight to Nigeria Aug. 25 via Dubai.

Ogbonu was arrested Aug. 10 after CBP officers observed questionable behavior and believed he may be an internal drug courier. He gave written consent to be taken to a medical facility for an X-ray, which revealed multiple pellets containing an unknown substance and completely filled his stomach and intestines. He later expelled a pellet, the contents of which field tested positive for the presence of heroin.

Ogbonu remained under the care of medical professionals until he had passed all the pellets from his digestive tract; then he was medically discharged. He is expected to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy Johnson Aug. 16.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Bertram Isaacs, Southern District of Texas, is prosecuting the case.

A criminal complaint is a formal accusation of criminal conduct, not evidence. A defendant is presumed innocent unless convicted through due process of law.

Dr. Christine Daniel Cancer Fraud Case: Ends In Conviction

LOS ANGELES -- A doctor who said she could cure late-stage cancer and other diseases through an herbal supplement has been convicted of defrauding more than 50 patients across the nation out of $1 million.

Christine Daniel, 57, of Los Angeles was found guilty Monday of 11 counts, including wire fraud, tax evasion and witness tampering. She faces up to 150 years in prison and $5.5 million in fines when she's sentenced on Dec. 5.

Daniel used her position both as a doctor at the Sonrise Wellness Center and a Pentecostal minister to entice people from across the nation to take her herbal product. She charged as much as $150,000 for a six-month treatment program that she said could cure cancer, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's Disease and diabetes.


In court documents, authorities contend Daniel took advantage of patients who desperately sought alternative measures after enduring draining rounds of chemotherapy and radiation.

She claimed the supplement's success rate was between 60 and 100 percent for metastatic or terminal cancers. However, at trial experts called by federal prosecutors said chemical tests of the product showed it contained beef extract flavoring and a sunscreen preservative among other ingredients.

Many of her patients, relying on her product, died from complications of cancer within three to six months after taking the supplement. In all, authorities believe Daniel siphoned about $1.1 million from 55 families between 2001 and 2004.

Prosecutors said Daniel tried to influence the testimony of at least two witnesses who were called before a grand jury. She was acquitted of one count of witness tampering.

The trial, which began in March, took a four-month hiatus after the daughter of Daniel's defense attorney died in May. The lawyer was relieved and Daniel represented herself for the remainder of the trial. A phone listing for Daniel, who is free on bond, could not be found.

U.S. Convicts Another Nigerian Of Trafficking

“I’m sorry.”

That’s what Bidemi Bello, a 42-year-old Nigerian woman, told her two victims in a United States courtroom earlier this month.

US. District Judge William S. Duffy, Jr. convicted Bello, a once successful London-educated businesswoman, earlier this month to 140 months in prison. Duffy also ordered Bello to pay $144,200 in restitution to her victims. Bello will be stripped of her U.S. citizenship—she was naturalized in 2004.

Her victims are two Nigerian girls, known as Laome and Dupe, who were brought to the United States by Bello. Both girls are now 27-years-old.

Bello had recruited Laome and Dupe from Nigeria to come to the United States to work as nannies. She had promised to treat the girls like family members and to send them to school, according to the Office of the U.S. Attorney.

However, Laome and Dupe were forced to work as slaves without pay, faced to endure physical and verbal abuse.

In 2001, Bello had recruited Laome, who was 17 at the time, from Nigeria. Laome worked in Bello’s large home in an upscale neighborhood in Gwinnett County, Ga. from October 2001 through March 2004.

Laome eventually escaped, reportedly, with the help of one of Bello’s friends, who hid Laome in the back of car and covered Laome with blankets.

Bello then went back to Nigeria, to find another “house girl.” She recruited Dupe, who was 19 at the time. Bello brought Dupe to Georgia, again promising to send Dupe to school. Dupe worked in Bello’s home from November 2004 until April 2006 until she gathered enough money to escape by taking a taxicab to a church, where pastors assisted her.

Medicare fraud: US jury convicts 2 Nigerians, medical doctor in Houston

After approximately 12 hours of deliberation, a Houston jury has convicted Umawa Imo, 57, a citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; Kenneth Anokam, 56, a naturalized citizen; and Houston physician Dr. Christina Clardy, 61, United States Attorney Angel José Moreno announced Tuesday.

Clardy, previously released on bond, was taken into custody after the verdict was returned. Imo and Anokam, already in federal custody since 2009, were ordered to remain in custody. Dr. Thaddeus Hume, 63, another Houston-area physician, was acquitted of all charges.

Tuesday's verdict found Imo guilty of conspiracy to commit health care fraud, 39 counts of health care fraud, three counts of mail fraud, and five counts of money laundering; Anokam was found guilty of conspiracy, 27 counts of health care fraud, and four counts of structuring; while Clardy was found guilty of conspiracy, 14 counts of health care fraud, and three counts of mail fraud.

The second superseding indictment, returned on March 25, 2010, charged Imo, Anokam, Clardy, Hume, and two others—who are believed to have fled the United States—with various federal crimes, including one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and 39 substantive health care fraud counts.

Three counts of mail fraud were also charged which related to paper checks valued at approximately $180,448 that were mailed by the Medicaid contract administrator, Texas Medicaid and Healthcare Partnership, to City Nursing Services of Texas Inc., a business owned by Imo, in lieu of electronic fund deposits.

The charged also included five counts of money laundering related to five transactions totaling $2,805,195 from a City Nursing bank account for referrals, the purchase and shipping of tankers to Lagos, Nigeria, as well as a check for more than $1 million payable to Imo himself and four counts of structuring financial transactions to avoid reporting requirements related to a series of bank withdrawals over a two-week period by Anokam.

US jury convicts Nigerian father, daughter in $1.5m health care fraud

The Nigerian owners of a Houston area durable medical equipment company have been convicted by a jury of multiple counts of health care fraud arising from their roles in a scheme to defraud Medicaid through fraudulent billing for adult urinary incontinence supplies.


The announcement Thursday by United States Attorney José Angel Moreno and Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said Bassey Essien, 60, and his daughter, Rose Essien, 31, of Houston, were found guilty on April 7, 2011, after an eight-day trial of multiple felony counts.

Bassey Essien was convicted of all 19 counts alleged in the indictment against him—including conspiracy, health care fraud, and aggravated identity theft. Rose Essien was convicted of 15 of the 19 counts including 11 counts of health care fraud and five counts of aggravated identity theft. A third defendant, the Essien’s delivery driver, was acquitted on all counts.

Through the operation of Logic World Medical and Roben Medical, both durable medical equipment (DME) companies located in Houston, the Essiens unlawfully received Medicaid beneficiaries’ information, including names, addresses, and Medicaid numbers, which they then use to file false claims with the Medicaid program.

The evidence showed that the Essiens routinely billed Medicaid for adult urinary incontinence supplies they did not deliver to the Medicaid beneficiaries or for delivering supplies in amounts significantly less than the amounts billed to Medicaid. Additionally, the Essiens routinely billed Medicaid for adult urinary incontinence supplies provided to Medicaid beneficiaries who either did not need the supplies or whose physicians had not prescribed them. Adult incontinence supplies include adult diapers, underpads, wipes and pull-up briefs.

Through their DME company, the defendants continued to bill Medicaid for incontinence supplies even after their delivery staff and/or delivery contractors were told by the beneficiaries they did not need or want the supplies.

They regularly billed Medicaid for the delivery of 300 diapers, the maximum allowed amount of incontinence supplies each month per beneficiary, and for extra-large size diaper briefs, which have the highest Medicaid reimbursement rate, without consideration to the actual size needed by the beneficiary.

They even billed Medicaid for delivering a quantity of extra large adult size diapers far in excess of the amount they purchased from wholesale suppliers. The evidence showed the defendants only purchased six percent of the amount of extra large diapers they claimed to have delivered.

The scheme to defraud began in April 2004, under the company Logic World, with the last false claim having been filed in February 2010 under the name Roben Medical. The Essiens billed Medicaid for claims totaling approximately $2,341,293.64 and received payments for those claims totaling approximately $1,455,837.91.

Over government objection, the court has permitted Bassey and Rose Essien to remain on bond pending sentencing on July 8, 2011

Benjamin Essien, 34, Bassey Essien’s son, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit health care fraud, health care fraud, and aggravated theft in advance of trial.

All three defendants face a maximum of 10 years’ imprisonment and a $250,000 fine for the conspiracy conviction as well as each health care fraud conviction. Each count of aggravated identity theft carries a mandatory two-year consecutive term of imprisonment.

Emmanuel Ekhator, Nigerian fraudster handed over to US by EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has vowed that Nigeria would no longer be a safe place for Nigerian fugitive criminals fleeing from law enforcement agents in other countries.
According to the chairman of the anti-graft agency, Mrs. Farida Waziri, briefing some officers of the commission on the successful handover of a Nigerian, Emmanuel Ekhator, to a court in the United States on Thursday, this has become necessary so that no Nigerian will commit crime abroad and run home believing he/she would avoid prosecution.

A statement by Mr. Femi Babafemi, EFCC head, media & publicity, quoted Waziri as saying that Ekhator is the third Nigerian fugitive EFCC has handed over to the US authorities. She said that two others are currently awaiting extradition to the U.S

The EFCC boss said that while George Ubeozor was extradited in 2008, Sunday Adebisi Adegbesan was handed over in 2009 to the authorities in New York. Ehkator, she revealed, was indicted in the U.S. district court, in the Middle District of Pennsylvania on November 3, 2010 over a $32 million Internet collections scam.

He was arrested in Benin City, Edo State in August 2010 by EFCC operatives following top level exchange of information between U.S. law enforcement agents and the EFCC over the activities of a trans-border ring of Internet scammers headed by Ekhator.

The extradition process, filed through the office of the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, was eventually approved by a Federal High Court in Lagos on July 26, 2011.

The suspect was, however, flown to the U.S. on Wednesday and handed over to a District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania on Thursday by an officer of the EFCC.
Waziri tasked operatives working on other pending similar cases to intensify their efforts.

Waziri said: “With the latest extradition in addition to the two earlier done, and the two others pending, the message should be clear to anyone who travels abroad to commit crime and run back home to hide that Nigeria is no longer safe for them because, we will get them and hand them over to face the law.

“We will continue to do our best in this regard and with the continued support of the Attorney General of the Federation, we will surely make Nigeria unsafe for those fleeing from the long arm of the law in other jurisdictions because this country should never be a safe place for fugitive criminals.”

Temidire Owolabi Convicted of Woodford Green Cakes and Shakes Shooting

A GUNMAN who tried to kill an ice cream parlour boss by blasting him in the chest with a pistol is facing years behind bars.

Temidire Owolabi, 21, stormed into Cakes and Shakes in the High Road, Woodford Green , before opening fire on 24-year-old James Bryant.

The victim spent two months in hospital following the attack on November 14 and was lucky to survive.

Owolabi was convicted of attempted murder and possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life after his trial ended at the Old Bailey earlier today (Wednesday).

He wept in the dock as the verdicts were delivered before exploding in a rage, telling the jury they would ‘burn in hell’ and gesturing angrily to the public gallery.

Six security guards were needed to restrain him and one female juror was reduced to tears by his outburst.

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/newsarticles/2012/june/28-illegal-identity-stolen

Two Nigerian men living in Luton have been jailed on the 15 June following an elaborate scam to steal the identity of a dead British man.

Finest Ifeanyi Arojie, 43, illegally entered the UK in 2005. The following year he obtained a copy of the birth certificate of a British man, James Samuel Walters, who died in New York in 1989.

In 2007 Arojie used the birth certificate to obtain a British passport in Mr Walters’ identity, stating that he had lost his previous passport. There was no record of Mr Walters’ death because it occurred outside the UK.

Arojie then used his fake British identity to gain employment as a forklift driver in Dunstable in July 2008.

In April 2009 Arojie sponsored the entry to the UK of a man claiming to be his 16-year-old son and calling himself Bright Walters. The pair lived at Old Bedford Road, Luton.

Robert Onyemakonor Ehima,Omoruyi Brown Ehima, (brothers?) steal from good samaritan


AN asylum seeker and his homeless friend stole £6,500 from a man who helped them in their hour of need, York Crown Court heard.

Karma Melly, prosecuting, said a 66-year-old man suffering from Parkinson’s Disease took in Robert Onyemakonor Ehima when he had nowhere to stay and helped Yusuf Mohamed to remain in this country.

But the two Africans used his bank card without his permission on 18 occasions in October and November 2010 and took £6,500 out of his account.

Then, when they were released on bail after the thefts were discovered, Ehima, together with a third man, Omoruyi Brown Ehima, attacked a car thief with a baseball bat.

Mikey Giwa Jailed for Prison Sim Cards and Heroin Smuggling

A gangster who claimed he had turned his life around has been jailed for smuggling heroine [sic] and mobile phone SIM cards into prison.

Mikey Giwa, 23 of Lancing Road, Croydon, was sentenced to 30 months in prison at Woolwich Crown Court yesterday after he was caught trying to smuggling three mobile phone SIM cars and a wrap of heroin into Belmarsh prison on November 1 last year.

He denied the crimes but was found guilty of two charges of conveying articles into prison at Woolwich Crown Court in June.

Giwa was a prominent member of the notorious Don’t Say Nothing but he claimed he had turned his back on gang life and told the Croydon Guardian in May he was working with anti-knives organisation Lives Not Knives (LNK).

Michael Okadigbo and Adisa Sabado Jailed for Robbery (Kilburn)

Men Jailed for Robbing Mother and Daughter at Gunpoint

Two men who subjected a young mother and her three-year-old daughter to a gunpoint robbery in their own home have been sentenced today.

The pair were given jail time, at Woolwich Crown Court, following an investigation by the Metropolitan Police’s Trident South Shootings Team.

Olumide Buraimoh, 20, of Sceux Gardens, SE5, and Sanchez Adams, 19 (8/7/93), of Knatchbull Road, SE5, were sentenced to eight years for robbery and six years for possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, to run concurrently, following the attack on 24 September last year at a flat in Herne Hill.

Buraimoh and Adams arrived at the flat at around 14.00hrs on the pretext of buying drugs from a friend of the 24-year-old woman who lived there with her infant daughter.
