Baba Yellow, the 85-year-old man who escaped being mobbed at Somolu for molesting a girl, 14, has been transferred to the State’s Criminal Investigation Department at Yaba.

He was arrested on Wednesday by the Onipanu police division after his illicit activities with the teenager was discovered by her guardian, known as Iya Kafaya.

Sources within the Somolu community, told PUNCH METRO that prior to the transfer, plans were already in the works to release Baba Yellow on bail.

One of the sources said, “Some printers were already making arrangements to bail Baba Yellow but everything fell apart after the publication in The PUNCH. The DPO of the division changed his mind and insisted that the case should be transferred to SCID. Baba Yellow was taken to Panti last Friday.”

PUNCH METRO had last Friday published the story of Baba Yellow who had lived in the Somolu community for over 30 years and was notorious for molesting children.

Police detectives from SCID were said to have visited the Somolu community on Saturday with Baba Yellow in tow to make their investigation.

The source said, “People refused to talk with the police, instead, they brought out their cameras and were filming the entire activity. Some printers went to plead with Iya Kafaya not to insist on Baba Yellow’s prosecution. When she gave in, the printers then went to meet with those handling Baba Yellow’s case at SCID and told them that the guardian of the victim was willing to drop charges.

“They were surprised to hear from the police that it was no longer just about the victim, that it was now a case of the police against Baba Yellow. The police detectives eventually left with Baba Yellow.”

At the Onipanu market, where Iya Kafaya sells her wares, she was reluctant to speak on the matter.

She said, “We have settled everything. I am not interested in making a case.”

Although the victim was reportedly taken to the Oguntolu General Hospital for medical attention last week, the result of the test is currently shrouded in secrecy.

When contacted the Lagos State Police Public relations Officer, DSP Ngozi Braide, she said, “Baba Yellow is currently in the custody of the police at SCID and investigation is ongoing.”

See that is what many people been clamoring for, they didn't just ignore the case they actually went and investigated it, this is how things should be done, and thanks to the media, i hope that criminal doesn't go unpunishd.

Billyonaire: Fashola will soon overtake Tinubu in terms of riches and glory. I cant understand why he borrows more money when the State Allocation and IGR is enough to handle these projects even when most projects in the Island are Public Private Partnership, we are all not stupid and I need to know why he has to take more loan when Fed Allocation and IGR can power these projects. I am saying this for the interest of us all in Lagos cos the moment another government inherits insolvent debts, then we are the ones to face the music of agberos and task forces and tax collectors from all angles. I like Fashola's style but he should be stopped from these continuous borrowing and eye service, Lagos was developed by Feds mostly he shouldn't act as if he has built monumental bridges in his tenure using the loans he has been randomly taking. Look at Abia, its fallen cos of bad loans collected by Chief sorry Thief Orji Uzor Kalu. Lagos no go spoil cos am here. More grease to his elbow, he is a pragmatic leader although not perfect, greed comes into our heads once in a while, am not saying he shouldnt chop, but am saying dont make it so glaring like Tinubu who has a file with EFCC and ICPC that can be read to him each time he wants to cough. We need a Fashola in Aso Rock after 2019 to complement the efforts of the GEJ led Government after 2019.

WHO cares, as long as the development is going on, steal all the money you want just develop the state

Nigeria has postal service? wow

Boko boys are not smiling ohh at all

damn this is boring as hell

Seriously its like Delta has the most fvcked up governors, get deliverance for any governor before he occupies that seat

Oshodi-Apapa Expressway: Fashola writes FG on worsening condition of the road


LAGOS State Governor, Mr.Babatunde Raji Fashola, has complained to the Federal Government about the worsening condition of the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, a major highway that links the nation’s busiest sea ports to other parts of the country. In separate letters to President Goodluck Jonathan and Vice President Nemadi Sambo, the Governor also drew attention to the horrific traffic congestion on the expressway and the need to take urgent steps to fix the ever-busy road.

But the pleas seem to have fallen on deaf ears and the result is that once again, the ever-busy expressway has been plunged into an eyesore and a commuter’s nightmare. Specifically, Governor Fashola had on September, 17, 2012 forwarded a detailed presentation of what should be done to fix the road and ease the traffic congestion to Vice President Namadi Sambo. In the letter entitled “Re: Report of the Deterioration and Regeneration of Apapa, Lagos,” Fashola sought to make a presentation on the state of the road and what the restoration would take, to the National Economic Council.

Proposed presentation to NEC

The letter read in parts: “Further to your Excellency’s indication of no objection to our request to make presentation to the National Economic Council, NEC, on the above subject matter, please find attached for your information, a copy of our proposed presentation to NEC. All necessary copies of the presentation have been forwarded to the NEC Secretariat for listing and further action as may be necessary. We are hopeful that the matter can be listed for the next meeting of NEC and will follow up with the Secretariat in this regard”.

Apparently overwhelmed by the contents of the presentation, the Vice President wrote back to the Governor, suggesting that the matter should be brought to the attention of President Jonathan. In the reply dated October 3, 2013, the Vice President through his Deputy Chief of Staff, Engr. M.A.K Abubakar, stated that in appreciation of the detailed nature of the presentation, which is reckoned to be beyond the consideration of the National Economic Council, NEC, the matter should be brought to the attention of the President for his consideration.

Heeding the counsel, Fashola on November 1, 2013, wrote to President Jonathan stressing the need to follow up on the initial successes that were achieved in bringing sanity on the ever-busy road. The letter read in parts: “Your Excellency will recall the deterioration and congestion of vehicular traffic that characterised the Apapa area and Tin-Can Island which host the two largest sea-ports in Nigeria.

“Apart from the congestion and deterioration, the social and economic impacts of closure of businesses and devaluation of real estate values prompted me to direct the commencement of a clean-up and a clear out with a view to commencing a restoration. Because the congestion and deterioration were connected to the operations of the ports and activities of persons dealing with the operations and some Federal Government agencies, we were delighted to get the cooperation of the Federal Government through a delegation led by the Honourable Minister of Finance, who visited us on your directive.

Initial successes

“In a bid to follow up the initial successes that were achieved by the clear-out, our Government developed a restoration plan and a budget. I had written to His Excellency, the Vice President to seek permission to present the plan and the budget at the National Economic Council because of my view of national importance and implication of the consequences if we failed to take further action”.



Vanguard investigations show that deep craters and gully-like potholes have resurfaced at several sections along the expressway, causing unprecedented traffic gridlock. The palliative repairs by the Federal Ministry of Works and its agency, the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency, FERMA, which involved pouring laterite and granite on the bad spots, lasted only a few weeks before they were washed away by floods.

Commuters who plied the road a few days to the Christmas, literally went through hell as a result of the traffic snarl which was aggravated by the worsening state of the road and the rush by importers to clear their goods from the ports before the public holidays declared by the Federal Government to mark the festival.

Vanguard gathered that the road would not have gone into its present state of disrepair if the Federal Government which rakes in over a trillion Naira as revenue from the ports, had reacted promptly to various pleas by the Lagos State Government.

The situation, it was learnt, was exacerbated by an apparent disagreement between the Federal Ministry of Transport and the Federal Ministry of Works. The Transport Ministry which rakes about N1.3 trillion from the Apapa and Tin-can ports yearly, allegedly wants to carry out major rehabilitation works on the road but this was rejected by the Works Ministry which wants to be given the funds to do the repairs since it is statutorily empowered to do so.

Restoration plans by Lagos

The restoration plan which Fashola wrote about in the letters were fashioned out by a Lagos State Executive Council committee headed by the Commissioner for Environment, Mr. Tunji Bello. The committee was mandated to work on problems such as the traffic gridlock, business paralysis and environmental degradation currently plaguing the Oshodi-Apapa axis.

The nine-man committee which was set up after the State’s executive council visited the area on April 29, 2012, said it has reduced the traffic gridlock by 70 percent although there are still occasional bottlenecks particularly in the evenings. This gridlock is caused by tankers/trailers as a result of the delay at the entrance to the ports. The Committee said it has also succeeded in dislodging miscreants from under bridges even as all illegal structures have been pulled down.

The Apapa regeneration agenda covers Marine Beach, Ijora 7Up, Costain, Ijora Olopa and their environs. Previous efforts to restore sanity along Oshodi-Apapa Expressway

Vanguard recalls that on May 7, 2012, the Presidential Task Force on Ports Reforms collaborated with the Lagos State Government to dislodge tankers and trailers parked indiscriminately along the ever-busy expressway.

Officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA and the Kick Against Indiscipline KAI also participated in the enforcement. The operation which was carried out in the night, saw to the seizure of over 80 illegally parked trucks from the road, paving way for the free flow of traffic thereafter.

Impressed with the return of orderliness along the road, the Federal Government sent a delegation led by the Finance Minister to Lagos. Receiving the Federal Government delegation, Governor Fashola vowed that the state government would stay on the road for as long as it would take to prevent the dislodged trailers and tankers from returning.

Dr Okonjo-Iweala, together with the Minister of Transport, Idris Umar, and Minister of Works, Mike Onolememen, at a meeting with Fashola, had praised the joint efforts of the Federal and Lagos State governments in restoring sanity to the road. She said the clearing of the road would reduce travel time and cost of doing business at the ports, as goods emanating from the ports would get to their destinations faster and safer.
