berem: gone are the days when Festac Town used to be a crime free town. I was born and bred in FT and you hardly hear of crime not until bad boys and armed robbers invaded the town in 2003 till date.
After Ikotun,Festac Town is now the second headquarters of criminal activities in Lagos.

berem: I hope her killer is found and justic served.

ayobase: I pray they get and prosecute that goat accordingly.

The Lagos State Police Command has declared a 33-year-old man wanted for allegedly murdering a businesswoman, Lizzy Njideka.

PUNCH Metro had reported that the suspect, Kelechi Williams, strangled, Njideka, 39, a mother of four, in her home at FESTAC Town, Lagos State.

He also made away with her $50,000, N8m and the victim’s Range Rover.

Williams is believed to have fled to Ghana with the loot after killing his lover.

PUNCH Metro gathered that homicide detectives from the Area E Police Command, FECTAC, led by Assistant Commissioner of Police, Dan Okoro, were closing in on the suspect.

A police source said, “We were able to get his hideout through a forensic auditing investigation of his social media networks and with the assistance of Interpol.”

The police source said preliminary investigations revealed that Williams and Njideka had been having affairs for years.

He added that the suspect, who was once her employee, had proposed marriage.

The policeman added that the investigators were also working on the theory that Williams could have committed crimes in South Africa and Angola.

He said, “ACP Dan Okoro and his men believed that the suspect is a habitual criminal.

“The deceased was a single mother and was supposed to travel to the USA, but she also planned to move into a new building at Satellite Town before embarking on the journey.

“Then Williams came in from Ghana to visit her. Nobody thought his visit was unusual. He used to come and go in her home the way he liked, thus it was easy for him to snuff out her life.

“Williams was known by the guard to be in the habit of leaving home at night to cash money through ATM. On the fateful day, he simply drove to the gate and told the unsuspicious security guard that he was going to cash money. He drove out with the woman’s Range Rover.”

Police spokesperson, Ngozi Braide, said that the police would soon get the suspect.

According to Braide, the strangulation of Lizzy occurred at about 2.30am.

She said,“He strangled her with a rope. He locked up the place, packed her money, phones, international passports and about N8m and ran away. We believe he ran to Ghana.”

Braide explained that in the morning of the same day, the victim’s brother, who was supposed to meet her, came over after repeatedly calling her on the telephone without success.

She said the man became worried when he noticed that the house was locked. He went to the FESTAC Police Station.

“The security guard told the policemen that the last person he saw was Williams. The police forced the door open and saw the corpse. But we will get him. It is only a matter of time.”

Members of the Council of State rose from an emergency meeting on Thursday with a resolution to support President Goodluck Jonathan to ensure that the current spate of terrorism in parts of the country ends before December.

They also resolved to put an end to all discriminatory practices in states including the registration and “deportation” of non-indigenes as well as different school fees for indigenes and non-indigenes in state-owned institutions among others.

The council presided over by Jonathan has the Vice President, the Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, all living former Heads of State, all former Chief Justices of Nigeria and all state governors as members.

All living former Heads of State, except former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) attended the emergency meeting. President of the Senate, David Mark, was also absent.

Governors Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom); Babangida Aliyu (Niger); Sullivan Chime (Enugu); and the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), briefed State House correspondents at the end of the meeting.

Aliyu said it was the resolution of council members that all hands must be on the deck to end insurgency in parts of the country.

He said they would work hard to ensure that the predictions by some foreigners that Nigeria would cease to exist as a united nation beyond 2015 remained a wishful thinking.

The governor added that the council observed that leaders, particularly politicians remained the only threats to the country and democracy.

He said a collective decision was taken to stop the inflammatory statements always attributed to politicians.

He said, “More fundamental of the issues is the bucks stopping with the leadership. In fact, it came to the fore that if there is any threat to either the state or democracy probably the threat is coming from politicians and from leaders of the country.

“We must understand the boundaries of leadership and also the responsibilities that are involved. Leadership is not about beauty contest.

“In leadership, you must take difficult decisions and really go about implementing them.

“So, all the things came to the fore at the meeting and subsequently, each of us made it a deliberate resolution not to be bi-partisan or non-partisan to support the President to make sure that we get rid of this insurgency and indeed suggesting that before December.”

The governor said there was nothing religious or Islamic about the Boko Haram sect.

He said the important thing was for the adherent of religions to respect the rights of adherents of other religions aside from theirs.

Akpabio said the council frowned on the registration of Nigerians in parts of the country and directed that the exercise be stopped forthwith.

He disclosed further that the council set up a six-member committee saddled with the responsibility of further identifying other discriminatory practices across the country.

The committee, which had two months to submit its report, according to him, had governors of Niger, Sokoto, Enugu, Gombe, Akwa Ibom and Ondo states as members.

He said with the submission of the report, the council would then decide if the National Assembly would be approached to ensure that changes were made.

He said the ex-leaders proffered solutions to the security challenges in the country while council members commended the security agencies.

The governor said, “The council viewed the report seriously that some citizens were being deported, deportation should be from one country to the other but where you have a Nigerian who is being returned to his state of origin from other states, then you know there is a problem.

“We felt that that was capable of disrupting the unity of the country, making Nigerians to become apprehensive and unsafe.

“Also, the council frowned on the idea of even registering Nigerians in various parts of the country and felt this must be brought to an end immediately.

“And so we looked at all these issues and the role every leader should play from the local government level to the federal level. The role each one of us should play to ensure that we solidify the unity of this country.

“We also looked at these discriminatory practices across board from all parts of the country: North, South, West and the East and we felt all those issues must be brought to the front burner, solutions proffer to ensure that Nigerians are united, live freely and do their businesses without hinderance.”

Chime on his part said he saw commitment to save the country by both past and present leaders who attended the meeting.

He said the willingness to remain one Nigeria would lead to the abolition of disclosure of states of origin.

Rather, he said people would only be asked to disclose where they reside.

The NSA said the Federal Government was troubled by the idea of registering Nigerians, hence the need for the meeting.

He said those of them who were around knew that that was how the civil war started.

He said, “Those of us who were around will remember very well that that was how the civil war started, we saw the danger, we said there is really the need for everybody to be sensitised on this. It looks very innocent now to say well, I have security concerns, I can register any body who is not from here.”
