The Ekiti High Court has sentenced a man to seven years in prison for stealing Infinix Hot 8 phone valued at N64,000 and N8,000 cash.

26-year-old Omodara Dada was arraigned for burglary and stealing beforeJustice Lekan Ogunmoye on July 19, 2022.

Charges was armed robbery, which contravenes Section 312 (2) of the Criminal Law of Ekiti State, 2011.

According to the charge, the convict, on February 13, 2022, armed with a knife, robbed one Tope Fakiyesi of his black Infinix Hot 8 phone valued at N64,000 and a cash sum of N8,000 in Ado-Ekiti.

To prove its case, the prosecution counsel, Albert Adeyemi, called three witnesses and tendered statements of the victim and defendant, a knife, and a cash sum of N8,000, among other exhibits.

Giving evidence during the trial, Mr Fakiyesi, a hotel manager, said that on that day, he was disturbed from his sleep by a sound in his hotel.

The hotel manager said that he woke up to see the convict trying to remove his plasma television and when he attempted to shout, the latter brought out a knife and threatened to stab him.

He said, “I later discovered that he had picked my phone and a cash sum of N8,000 I placed on the table. I held him from behind when he wanted to escape, shouted for help and he was overpowered with the assistance of others.’’

He said that the convict was thereafter handed over to the police.

The counsel to the defendant, Sunday Ochai, called no witness but urged the court to temper justice with mercy, saying his client was a first offender.

In his judgement, Mr Ogunmoye said, “The evidence produced at the hearing, in support of the greater offence, is short of sustaining the charge of armed robbery but established beyond reasonable doubt the lesser offence. The defendant is convicted for the offence of burglary under section 323 of the Criminal Law of Ekiti State.”

He thereafter sentenced Mr Dada to seven years imprisonment starting from the date of his detention at the Federal Correctional Facility, Ado-Ekiti.

The AIG of Police has promised that justice will be served after a trigger happy police officer shot and killed Ifeoluwa Adekale in Ado Ekiti, right in front of the Oke-ila police station.

She was a vibrant and hardworking young woman from Ondo State, a nursing mother.

Ifeoluwa’s life was a testament to her resilience and determination. Despite struggling to make ends meet, she worked tirelessly as a station attendant at BOVAS Petrol Station and as a hotel worker at several hotels in Ado Ekiti.

On Thursday 2nd of January 2025, Ifeoluwa was returning from where she paid for her new house rent, a significant milestone in her life.

Tragically, her life was cut short, leaving behind a young child who will grow up without a mother.

According to eyewitnesses, the yet-to-be-named police officer was said to be celebrating the promotion of one of his colleagues in the station when he triggered the rifle in his hand.

It was learnt that the deceased who was standing at a shop opposite the station was hit by the bullet and died.

A source said, ” The young woman was across the road in front of a saloon when the gun of one of the officers attached to another unit of the Ekiti State Police Command but present in the station accidentally discharged and hit her.

“She was rushed to a nearby hospital but couldn’t make it and was confirmed dead.”

When contacted, the Ekiti State Commissioner of Police, Adeniran Akinwale confirmed the incident to Tribune Online.

Akinwale who was recently promoted to Assistant Inspector General of Police, said the officer involved has been identified and disarmed, adding that he would be interrogated and tried in line with the regulations of the force.

According to him, ” It is a very sad and unfortunate situation a few hours into the new year and I want to encourage the family to take heart and I sympathize with them.

“But I can confirm to you that the officer involved in this unfortunate incident has been disarmed and locked up in the cell for the necessary room trial and very soon he will be prosecuted accordingly.”

While sympathising with the family of the deceased over the incident, the AIG assured them that justice would be served on the matter.

The Ekiti State Police Command has confirmed that Human Right Lawyer, Dele Farotimi is in its custody.

The Command spokesman, Mr Sunday Abutu, made this known in a statement in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital yesterday night.

There have been concerns over the whereabouts of the human rights lawyer who was reportedly arrested yesterday morning.

But the Police said Farotimi is undergoing investigation following a petition filed against him for allegations of defamation and cyberbullying.

The statement reads in part, “The Ekiti State Police Command wishes to inform members of the public that one Mr Dele Farotimi is undergoing investigation following a petition written against him to the Office of the Commissioner of Police, Ekiti State Command for an allegation of defamation of character and cyberbullying.

“He was arrested today in Lagos with an arrest warrant gotten from court after all means deployed by the Command to bring him for interrogation proved abortive.

“He is currently in custody and will be arraigned as soon as investigation is concluded”, it added

Earlier, in a post via X, Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2023 elections, said the whereabouts of Farotimi was unknown after police raided his residence in Lagos.

Sowore said the police officers seized the mobile gadgets of the family members of the activist during the operation.

On Tuesday morning, Farotimi, in a statement, alleged that officers attached to the Ekiti police command have perfected plans to abduct him from Lagos.

Farotimi accused the command of deploying questionable means to lure him for arrest despite honouring the invitation of the zone 2 police headquarters in Lagos some weeks ago.

The human rights advocate said he was questioned at the zone 2 headquarters owing to a petition filed by Tony Elumelu, chairman of the United Bank for Africa (UBA).

The activist said the police officers from Ekiti command were acting on another petition allegedly filed by Afe Babalola, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN).

Farotimi added that his comments about Babalola were in a book published in Lagos and not Ekiti.

Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps Ekiti State Command has handed over a suspected child trafficker who was arrested in Imesi -Ekiti following a complaint from the parent of the victim at the Command's Out Post station in the town to the National Agency for Prohibition of Traffic in Person and other Related Offences Commission.

Handing over the suspect at the headquarters of the Command, the State Commandant Dr Oluwaseun Sosina fsi explained that the suspect who is a tailor residing in Imesi -Ekiti acted on the precarious situation of the victim to convince her that she has a better life for her in Ghana where her sister would provide sales representative job for the victim in a provision store.

Without the consent of the victim's parents, the suspect Temitope Balogun facilitated her movement from Ikare in Ondo State to Lagos where she was arranged to board a vehicle from Mile 2 to Ghana as planned by the suspect in Nigeria and the accomplice in Ghana.

The mother of the victim later invited the suspect for questioning after series of attempt to locate the suspect failed and at that spot, officers of NSCDC OutPost in the town arrested the suspect and bring her to the headquarters for further investigation.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect called the victim on phone and advised her not to proceed on the journey after arriving in Lagos and with the support of relatives in Lagos, the victim was brought back to Imesi -Ekiti.

The suspect Oloruntola Janet 19 years explained that, she wanted to escape from home initially as a result of sexual harassment from her step father as well as other untold hardship inflicted on her by the stepfather which made her to think of relocating to a better place in search of peace of mind.

The suspect who is a 30 years old tailor, said she only wanted to render an assistance to her having noticed all the problems she was facing from home as she always cry every morning at work and complained of sexual abuse from the step father.

The State Commandant warned that the Command will not take it lightly with anyone especially those people recruiting young girls into illicit trade in Nigeria and abroad as partnership and synergy of the Corps with NAPTIP stands firm and productive.

A shocking TikTok trend in response to Trump’s victory, shows women grinning as they pour unknown substance into a cup of tea or other drink.

Giulia Tofana, the supposed creator of Aqua Tofana, lived in Palermo, Sicily, during the late 17th century. While much of her life story is shrouded in legend:

Giulia was said to be an adept poisoner, motivated by a desire to empower women to escape abusive relationships or unhappy marriages. She allegedly provided the poison to women who wished to rid themselves of unwanted husbands or lovers.

This is seen as a move to promote poisoning of men who support Donald Trump. “Make Aqua Tofana Great Again” — or “MATGA” — movement is a nod both to President-elect Donald Trump’s MAGA campaign slogan and Giulia Tofana.
